Outside the illusion, in the lobby of the government office.
Chu Fengge stared at the picture on the "Review Pot" with extremely complicated mood.
too fast.
It's just too fast.
Although Chu Fengge was mentally prepared for Gu Xu’s outrageous talent...
But Gu Xu was able to take Ma Qin and successfully pass through the Taoyuan Fantasy Land in less than an hour, which was still far beyond his expectations.
Gu Xu's two ghost-killing talismans, one unexpectedly burned a room full of ghosts, and the other instantly killed the dream-eating tapir, both left a very deep impression on Chu Fengge.
Others may be surprised and envious of Gu Xu's exaggerated attainments in Talismans.
But what alarmed Chu Fengge was Gu Xu’s flexible mind and eclectic fighting style——
Everything around him, including plates, drinks, and even the people around him, can be used by Gu Xu and become his weapon.
And Gu Xu never sticks to the old ways.
The "Tai Shang Arctic Demon Suppressing and Demon Killing Talisman" passed down from generation to generation has long been modified beyond recognition by him.
The solemn "God-Inviting Curse" was also adapted by him at will.
He even whimsically carved the "Decontamination Talisman" into his sea of consciousness.
It can be said that when it comes to spiritual practice, Gu Xu is a person who has no scruples or rules at all.
Chu Fengge couldn't imagine how terrifying a person like Gu Xu would become if he grew up and entered the real battlefield of life and death.
In addition, there is another thing about Gu Xu that makes Chu Fengge deeply jealous——
"How can this kid come up with so many arrogant and exciting lines during battle?" Chu Fengge thought angrily, "This kind of lines should be spoken by me!"
For example, "This welcoming restaurant will no longer exist", such as "The stage has been set up"... When Chu Fengge imitated Gu Xu's calm and indifferent tone and said these sentences silently, he felt that he was so handsome.
Of course, Chu Fengge is a proud person - he doesn't bother to use second-hand lines, no matter how good they are.
He planned to ask his subordinates to help him think of some domineering words for him to use in battle after this assessment.
One verse is obviously not enough.
This kid Gu Xu will definitely be his strong rival in the future, but he must not lose to him in terms of momentum.
…………
At this moment, attendant Xu San suddenly came to Chu Fengge and said to him cautiously: "Master Chu, since Gu Xu and Ma Qin have passed the assessment, should we let them come out of the 'Wen Gu Pot' Out?"
After hearing this, Chu Fengge finally came back from his thoughts.
Only then did he remember that the consciousness of the two candidates was still trapped in the illusion of the pot.
So Chu Fengge immediately recited the formula and terminated the assessment.
The picture on the "Wen Gu Pot" gradually dimmed, then disappeared, returning to its original pure white appearance.
Gu Xu and Ma Qin, who were sitting cross-legged in the corner of the hall, slowly opened their eyes, as if they were waking up from a big dream.
Since they had just experienced a fierce battle in the "Warming Pot", they all looked a little exhausted at this time.
"Congratulations on passing the test of Taoyuan Illusion," Chu Fengge said expressionlessly, "Go and wait for the results outside the lobby."
"Yes, sir." The two responded.
Although the fateful moment is approaching, both candidates are in a very calm mood.
If Gu Xu's calmness stems from self-confidence.
So Ma Qin's calm state of mind comes from the fact that he has already chosen to lie down.
Ma Qin secretly decided that after the assessment results came out, he would check out of the inn as soon as possible, then take a carriage and secretly return to Qingzhou Mansion, and return to his original role as an ordinary little official.
Although the competition for jobs in Qingzhou Prefecture is fierce, it is difficult to get ahead.
But he felt that if he stayed in Yishui County for a long time, sooner or later he would be made doubtful about life by the evildoer Gu Xu.
…………
Exorcism Department Headquarters, Star Observation Deck.
After the assessment, the picture on the bronze mirror disappeared.
"Xiaojin, bring me a pen and inkstone."
Chief Luo Chuan was silent for a moment, and then gave instructions to Shangguan Jin beside him.
"Yes, sir."
Shangguan Jin stood up immediately and quickly fetched Luo Chuan pen, ink, paper and inkstone, then knelt down beside the low table and polished ink for him.
Later, Luo Chuan picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and began to write assessment comments for the two candidates Gu Xu and Ma Qin.
According to the past practice of the Exorcism Department, when candidate officials participate in the promotion assessment, the examiner or other senior officials will write comments to them, which will serve as an important reference for future personnel arrangements.
Under normal circumstances, it would not be Luo Chuan's turn to do such trivial things personally.
However, when Luochuan wanted to do it himself on a whim, no one in the entire exorcism department could stop him.
He first wrote his comments on Ma Qin on a piece of white rice paper:
"More than stable, but not flexible enough; more than diligent, but less talented. He can be an official, but it is difficult to be alone. However, he is gentle, courteous and frugal, and he does good deeds and is not ashamed of his teacher. If he is cultivated properly, he may be able to benefit the people of a place."
Shangguan Jin silently watched him write his comments.
Although this review describes both Ma Qin's strengths and weaknesses.
But Shangguan Jin was familiar with Luo Chuan's character and knew that Luo Chief never praised others easily - in his writing, this passage was considered a high compliment.
With the review personally written by the head of the department, Ma Qin's body is equivalent to being plated with gold, and his career in the Exorcism Department will become much smoother in the future, making him the envy of many people.
Of course, Shangguan Jin also knew very well that it was because of Gu Xu's existence that Luo Sishou paid attention to an inconspicuous person like Ma Qin.
Later, Luochuan took out another piece of rice paper and prepared to write Gu Xu's comments.
This time he pondered for a long time and did not write.
Many words passed through his mind, but he felt they were not appropriate enough.
A few minutes later, he sighed softly, and finally slowly started writing, writing down his evaluation of Gu Xu:
"Sensitive and eager to learn, unrivaled in intelligence, fearless in the face of danger, and unyielding. If you don't die in the middle, you will definitely become a pillar of the building."
When she saw this comment, Shangguan Jin couldn't believe her eyes.
Such highly complimentary words...were they really written by the Chief Secretary himself?
This is not like the usual behavior of the Chief Secretary!
You know, even talented young people like herself and Chu Fengge failed to receive such high evaluations back then. Instead, Luo Sishou pointed out many shortcomings in an extremely harsh manner.
What is so special about this Gu Xu that makes the Chief Secretary change his nature?
Could it be that the Chief of Staff used divine skills to predict Gu Xu's promising future?
Shangguan Jin felt incredible.
At this moment, a guard hurried up the stairs to the observatory, placed a pile of documents on the table, then bowed to Luochuan and said:
"Let me tell you, Sir, that the ink scroll you sent to the palace has been read by Princess Zhaoning. This is the feedback she wrote."
