Chapter 53: A Secretary’s Presumptuous Speculation on Personnel Changes Is a Grave Misstep in Official Circles

In Fang Jie’s car was a permit from the prefectural government, allowing them to pass smoothly through to the state committee headquarters.

The car came to a steady stop.

The two of them got out and took the elevator upward.

Three or four people gradually entered the elevator.

These individuals showed no expression, mostly with their heads down, each lost in their own thoughts; none greeted Wu Yunqiu.

He Shinian glanced at Wu Yunqiu secretly and saw her standing upright with a smile at the corner of her mouth.

Yet at this moment, she seemed like an extraordinarily ordinary woman.

Fang Youtai was a northern man in his fifties, broad-shouldered and sturdy.

His height was only slightly less than He Shinian’s.

Upon seeing Wu Yunqiu, Fang Youtai immediately stood and said heartily, “You, little Qiu, finally decided to…”

Several more people entered the elevator one after another.

These people wore blank expressions, mostly looking downward, each absorbed in their own thoughts; none greeted Wu Yunqiu.

With a sigh, Li Zhen tossed a snake egg up and down, searching throughout the chaos for the Purple Cloud Palace.

Elder Mu Xuan, unaware of Mu Yu’s thoughts, felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing Mu Yu’s reply.

Damn it, all this fuss just to ask me for a job? He sighed, thinking it was something more significant. Wang Dalong cast him a disdainful glance, then looked at him seriously.

Because, according to the contract initially signed by Akane Akasaka and their group, these were all extra duties.

Or rather, these should have been handled by Malz’s side and didn’t require the involvement of a screenwriter at all.

In the world of Asura, the victor is entitled to claim everything from the vanquished, and sometimes the spoils can even extend to the defeated themselves—if they survive the battle.

The battle armor’s defense was fully activated, and at the same time, the umbrella obtained from the secret collection of the Emperor Yiling was taken out.

Its handle was dark blue, the canopy a bright azure, shining with a radiant luster.

Since it was written because of them, as long as the others didn’t mind, it was only natural to hand it over for their performance.

When all the soldiers on the city wall witnessed Mu Ye’s marksmanship, they couldn’t help but cheer loudly, while the opposing tribe remained completely silent.

Most importantly, Mu Yu perceptively noticed that the creature’s body was continuously enlarging, which was why the commotion grew increasingly conspicuous and caught everyone’s attention.

As they spoke, the Ten Courts of the Underworld suddenly appeared outside the formation, accompanied by Sun Qitian.

Queen Pingxin lightly pointed her right index finger, and a brilliant light appeared at the edge of the formation as the Ten Courts of the Underworld and Sun Qitian entered with solemn faces.

“Definitely so. As the saying goes, ‘If officials don’t serve the people, they might as well go home and roast sweet potatoes.’ I think this county magistrate should indeed go home and roast sweet potatoes,” Qing He said as she poured tea and then placed it before Xu Miao.

As Kroto worried that the princess would still refuse, he suddenly scooped her up and began to sprint wildly.

Fortunately, he was not foolish; after a few steps, he realized that the people around Baitang seemed to be watching them as if it were a spectacle.

Seeing Li Tianfeng’s attack, the elder immediately became alert.

He could sense that this attack from Li Tianfeng was powerful enough to threaten him.

Therefore, Lin Su said that based on their ranks, a romantic relationship between the two was impossible.

“Collaboration! Bring them in immediately!” Zhang Changxin suddenly brightened as if he had just thought of something.

Lin Su reminded Zhang Jun three times to take good care of Zhang Qionghua.

If any loopholes or suspicious points were discovered, investigate immediately and do everything possible to ensure Zhang Qionghua’s safe release.

At that moment, the alarm of Mount Shu sounded.

Even though it was far away, the sound was still clear.

The Mount Shu emergency alarm had not been heard for an unknown length of time.

At least Li Tianfeng knew that since he had been brought to Mount Shu, this was the first time he had ever heard the alarm.

Although the martial training ground of Qingfeng Sect was not close, the faint sounds of string and bamboo instruments, the freshly painted courtyard, and the comings and goings of people attracted the restless attention of several hundred disciples.

After morning training ended, a large number hurriedly rushed in this direction.

Even though some details violated the “equal rank challenge rules,” because the headmasters of both schools were of the same level, the Cui Martial School could only suffer the loss silently.

Ignoring the resentful words of the Yin Sha Sect leader, Feng Lengyue directly withdrew his sword from the sect leader’s body.

He then swept toward the Blood Demon Sect’s master behind him.

Seeing Feng Lengyue’s attack, the Blood Demon Sect leader hastily drew his great sword and retreated.
