Hu Cheng and Jiang Jun left.
These two busy people just finished handling our affairs and left the Imperial Office. They were really busy. Of course, this also shows that the two of them are indeed conscientious of their duties. If it were someone else who was irresponsible, they would probably wish they didn't go back.
Not long after Hu Cheng and I left, I slapped my forehead suddenly. After they left, I remembered one thing - I forgot to ask them about Lin Huai and Xiao Yuting!
After arriving at the Imperial Bureau at noon, Lin Huai, Xiao Yuting and Hu Cheng went to the residential area of the Imperial Bureau members, and then they never believed anything.
Originally, I wanted to take advantage of Anyang to come over and introduce Lin Huai to them. After all, Anyang's background is relatively tough. With Anyang's help, Lin Huai and Xiao Yuting will definitely have less trouble in the Imperial Bureau in the future. But later I sent them a message and never got a reply, so the matter fell into place.
Could it be that Lin Huai and the two didn't see the news?
To be on the safe side, I asked Hu Chengyi on the ghost board and asked him about the whereabouts of Lin Huai and Xiao Yuting.
Hu Cheng replied to the message quite quickly. He said that Lin Huai and Lin Huai were later called for questioning by the senior officials of the Imperial Bureau, and they should be in the office building now.
Seeing Hu Cheng's explanation, I suddenly realized that no wonder Lin Huai and Xiao Yuting had been gone for so long without any news. It turned out that they were invited by the leaders of the Imperial Bureau to have tea.
Hu Cheng replied on the ghost board: "Those old guys must have a lot of questions to ask, and they probably won't be able to finish them all in a while, so it's normal that they haven't come back now. But don't worry, they will arrive at night at the latest I'll be back and everything will be fine."
Although Hu Cheng explained it, I was still a little worried. If the senior officials of the Imperial Bureau were really hostile to Lin Huai, they would never be able to get out of their hands based on their strength.
This is not because I am too vigilant. As the saying goes, people who are not from my race will have different minds. Lin Huai and the two are not only from my race, they can also be said to be from the outside world.
It's impossible to say whether the higher-ups, for the sake of social stability, or to eliminate hidden dangers in advance, secretly dealt with Lin Huai and his extraordinary potential...
"Director Hu, we in China don't have much hostility towards people from other worlds, right?" I couldn't help but ask on the ghost board.
"Hey, don't worry. There can be no hostility from above. They are just asking questions." Hu Cheng replied: "Lin and Huai did not do anything harmful to society. On the contrary, they made a lot of contributions. We The top management of China will not be so overbearing, so it will definitely be fine."
Seeing this, I felt a lot more relieved.
Indeed, if the high-level officials of the country were really hostile to people from other worlds, they would probably have killed them long ago. But Lin Huai and Xiao Yuting are safe and sound so far. It seems that the top officials of the country are still tolerant towards them.
"Don't worry about Lin Huai and Xiao Yuting. They will be back at night at the latest. But you, as the captain, should take responsibility and be responsible for the whole team."
"I see."
"Well, you guys performed well in the Spirit Bureau Competition, we'll be waiting for your good news in the Yang Bureau!"
...
Imperial office building.
This is where the senior officials of the Imperial Bureau usually work.
At this time, three senior officials of the Imperial Bureau were sitting in the director's room. If there are people from the Imperial Bureau here, they will be shocked to find that the three chief directors of the Imperial Bureau are actually gathered here!
These three people are Director Li Xun, and two deputy directors Zhao Wan and Xiao Zhilin. The three of them were in the director's room just now, questioning Lin Huai and Xiao Yuting.
"Haha, those two little guys are quite smart. I can see that they must have deliberately concealed something just now..." After Lin Huai and Xiao Yuting left, Li Xun smiled and said, "Know how to use This way of protecting oneself wisely, such people are very smart. If they don’t die, I think their future achievements will not be bad.”
Next to Li Xun, sat a graceful and beautiful woman. She was Zhao Wan, the only woman among the three directors. She appeared to be about thirty years old, but her actual age...
In short, Zhao Wan's strength has reached the peak of the early three-star stage, and she is also one of the pillars of the Chinese cultivation world.
After listening to Li Xun's words, Zhao Wan couldn't help but feel a little worried and said: "Li Xun, even you have such a high opinion of them, are you sure you won't deal with them? With such strength at such a young age, I'm worried that they will be a hidden danger in the future. ..."
"This is inappropriate. Let's not mention that they haven't caused any harm yet. Even with the many contributions they have made, we can't do this." Li Xun shook his head and said: "Moreover, if they are trained properly, they may be able to become a member of the Chinese nation in the future. A big help... To say the least, as long as the strength is not as strong as three stars, it is not a big threat to us."
Li Xun has the confidence to say this. His own strength is at the peak of mid-three-star. In his eyes, those below three-star are really no different from ants.
Hearing this, Zhao Wan nodded. Since Li Xun had already made the decision, she naturally had no objections. Moreover, she does not think that Lin Huai and Xiao Yuting can break through to three stars so easily. If everyone can do it, there will not be only a handful of three-star strong people.
"Speaking of which, is the Spiritual Bureau Competition really going to throw those little brats who have never seen blood into the war zone?" Xiao Zhilin, another deputy director, changed the subject and asked: "It's... a bit dangerous there, isn't it? There may be fatalities. If something happens, we won't be able to explain it easily."
Xiao Zhilin's strength is similar to Zhao Wan, and he is also around the peak of Samsung in the early stages.
"It is indeed dangerous, but opportunities and dangers coexist. If they are lucky there, they can get countless benefits, and they are guaranteed to break through to the second star." Li Xun said slowly: "But what you said It makes sense. Before setting off, let them sign an agreement. Those who are willing to participate will participate, and those who withdraw will abandon the game. If anything happens, it has nothing to do with anyone."
"Okay, let's do that." Xiao Zhilin said: "There are countless opportunities in war zones. If you want to seize opportunities, it is normal to take some risks."
"That's right." Li Xun nodded, with a hint of seriousness in his tone, and said: "Today's young practitioners have too little experience, and many of them have lost a bit of blood in their bones. How can they become stronger like this? The war is coming, and our training methods can no longer be as gentle as before. Those who are willing to participate will participate, and those who are afraid of death will go back. We will not force it!"
"War..." Hearing this, Zhao Wan changed his color slightly and said worriedly: "Li Xun, are you really sure that the plague of resentful spirits will break out on a large scale in the future? The troubles in other worlds will really happen to us again. Staged?”
"After many confirmations, we are basically inseparable. If we don't become stronger, the tragedies in other worlds may be a lesson to the past." Li Xun sighed deeply and said helplessly: "Not only is the problem of resentful spirits, but also the ghost master. There are frequent noises, and I feel like they can't hold back anymore, maybe... the ghost king is about to revive..."
Hearing this, Zhao Wan and Xiao Zhilin's expressions changed slightly, with a hint of fear in their eyes, and scenes from the past began to replay in their minds.
"What? As far as I know, wasn't the Ghost King severely injured back then and his strength dropped drastically?" Xiao Zhilin said solemnly: "It has only been twenty years. Even if he recovers, it will be difficult for him to return to his former self in the sealed state. Strength, right?"
"It's hard to say. There is indeed no movement now, but I can't say what will happen in the future. Although we have maintained a delicate balance over the years, the seal will weaken sooner or later." Li Xun said in a solemn tone: "Once the Ghost King regains his strength, then When he comes out, maybe the world will really change."
The atmosphere in the director's room was a little solemn for a while. Even though their strength was at the top level in the global cultivation world, the burden and pressure on their shoulders would also increase.
"Even if it has nothing to do with the ghost king's resurrection, the ghost masters are indeed a bit dishonest now. The threat of the few leading ghost masters is still quite big." Li Xundao: "Whether it is a resentful spirit or a ghost master, if you want to solve it, , all require us humans to take a further step in strength, so I decided to open a war zone and let the younger generation go explore the road..."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhilin and Zhao Wan both had serious expressions on their faces. They were threatened by resentful spirits in front of them and threatened by ghost masters in the back. Even they felt great pressure on their shoulders at this time...
