Capítulo 1127: Chapter 779: The Invitation
“If I add a review of an Immortal Sect Technique to my resu, it might provide quite so help for my future promotion, right?”
Thinking this, Zhang Yu asked, “Mr. Qu, do you know how I can join this special group and participate in the review of this Immortal Sect Technique?”
Qu Yizhi heard this and smiled slightly, secretly sighing, “Who wouldn’t want to join the group?”
He spoke up, “An Immortal Sect Level Technique would at least be reviewed under the leadership of a Vice Pavilion Master, and the personnel would naturally be selected by them.”
“Anyone can recomnd upwards without going through departntal leadership, and given your performance, True Monarch Zhang, I think you stand a good chance of being chosen.”
Qu Yizhi had so words he didn’t say, which was that their imdiate superior, Vice Minister Lu of the Audit Departnt who was in charge of Martial Arts… If he wanted to hold Zhang Yu back, the possibility of Zhang Yu joining the group would significantly decrease.
Zhang Yu also thought of this point, so he decided to find Gu Qingya to try to get himself recomnded for the group.
However, just monts later, when Zhang Yu found Gu Qingya and expressed his wish, the response he received surprised him even more.
“I can recomnd you, but it’s not certain you’ll make it.”
Gu Qingya said, “This ti, the Immortal Sect Martial Arts have already been decided to be personally hosted by the Pavilion Master, selecting elites from each departnt for the screening. Even besides Yufa Pavilion, experts will also be picked from other departnts to participate in this project.”
“The Pavilion Master personally hosts?” Hearing this, Zhang Yu was taken aback. As a Refining Void level cultivator, the Pavilion Master of Yufa Pavilion had long stopped handling Yufa Pavilion’s day-to-day affairs.
Gu Qingya continued, “Originally, I thought at most a Vice Pavilion Master would oversee, but I didn’t expect even the Pavilion Master was alerted.”
“Although the Pavilion Master is likely just lending their na and probably won’t get involved personally, it shows how much importance is placed on this Immortal Sect Technique.”
“Not to ntion choosing experts from other departnts. The driving force behind such a joint project… must be soone even more profound.”
At this point, Gu Qingya looked at Zhang Yu and asked, “With such a high-level project, though it’s an opportunity, it inevitably contains risks. Are you sure you want to participate?”
Zhang Yu nodded firmly, feeling that the more it was like this, the more he sensed that it was his chance.
He knew that to climb up within the sect, he had to seize every opportunity.
“Even if this operation doesn’t help my promotion, learning an Immortal Sect Technique is beneficial.”
At this mont, Zhang Yu’s concern was that Lu Hengzhang would obstruct him from joining the special group.
After voicing his concerns, Gu Qingya promptly offered reassurance, saying he would help watch out for Lu Hengzhang.
But what Zhang Yu didn’t expect was that not long after he left Gu Qingya’s office, Lu Hengzhang contacted him directly through the Law Realm.
Lu Hengzhang’s projection descended without any pretense or smile, seemingly disdainful of any further disguise before Zhang Yu, or perhaps believing disguise was unnecessary, fixing a gaze filled with strong contempt, revulsion, and hostility upon Zhang Yu.
“Here.”
Lu Hengzhang flicked his finger, a notice floating before Zhang Yu’s eyes.
Zhang Yu’s gaze focused; it was an invitation from the special group.
“Inviting to the project group? Gu Qingya couldn’t have acted this fast…”
As Zhang Yu thought of this, he saw Lu Hengzhang’s na in the recomnder column.
“Is this… Lu Hengzhang’s doing? Did he recomnd this?”
Warily, Zhang Yu looked at Lu Hengzhang, asking, “Vice Minister Lu, may I ask what your intention is?”
Lu Hengzhang replied indifferently, “What? You don’t want to go?”
“Though Gu Qingya’s rank is higher than mine, as the Minister of Review Departnt, he can’t participate in the special group’s work.”
“And as the Vice Minister in charge of Martial Arts, I will bring people into the special group this ti.”
“The higher-ups asked to recomnd so people, and I planned to recomnd you.”
“If you don’t want to go, just decline the special group’s request…”
After speaking, Lu Hengzhang’s projection flickered slightly, disappearing before Zhang Yu.
Reflecting on Zhang Yu’s grave expression, Lu Hengzhang began to sneer internally, “No matter how wary or cautious you are, so what? You lower realm crawlers, seeing at won’t let go like wild dogs.”
“Faced with an opportunity to climb, no matter the life-threatening risk… you won’t give it up.”
“This is your inherent flaw, destined to be toyed with by us.”
anwhile, on the other side, Zhang Yu had already crossed the Law Realm, completing the exchange with Gu Qingya.
“If I reject this expert group’s invitation… even if Gu Qingya applied again for , I’m afraid I won’t make it into the special group.”
“This guy…” Looking at the invitation with Lu Hengzhang’s na, Zhang Yu secretly thought, “Does he intentionally want to drag into the group?”
Realizing the other party’s ill intentions, Zhang Yu still decided to join the group.
He internally thought, “As long as it’s reviewing a technique, I have nothing to fear.”
Thus, in the disdainful gaze of Lu Hengzhang, Zhang Yu received the notification of accepting the invitation.
Lu Hengzhang sent a ssage reminding, “Join the group in a week, and before joining… rember to cultivate Formless Martial Performance to Martial Twelve, which is the minimum requirent for work within the project group.”
Lu Hengzhang knew that completing Martial Eleven required 100,000 Immortal Coins, while a dozen Martial Twelve needed 200,000 Immortal Coins total. For a Sect Affairs Officer working for years, scrapping together this sum was possible.
But for soone like Zhang Yu, who had entered the sect for less than a year, it was a substantial sum.
“No doubt, he’ll be borrowing everywhere?”
This, in Lu Hengzhang’s view, seems inevitable; he knows that a cultivator like Zhang Yu, climbing from the bottom, would not give up even if it ant bearing heavy debt and risking everything.
Thinking of Zhang Yu borrowing from all around, Lu Hengzhang’s mouth curled into a slight smile.
“For now, this debt might still be within your manageable range.”
“But when you experience failure within the special group, this debt will gradually beco the final straw crushing you.”
Success in the special group?
Having partly uncovered so of the inside information, Lu Hengzhang understood…
“Impossible.”
“This Immortal Sect Technique is already destined to be abandoned.”
“So people within the special group… are fated to be sacrificed.”
