From Master Boyunlei Taoist mouth, Chu Chen quickly learned about the episode that happened in the Du Guan meeting hall.
The Du Guan is in charge of the affairs of demons, ghosts and gods in the area, and has a very high say in the appointment and dismissal of the ghosts, gods and immortal officials.
Even if Han Chen is optimistic about Chu Chen, he will be able to ascend to the throne 80-90% of the time.
Even if the higher-level Immortal Court did not trust Chu Chen's Taoist and magical powers, they would at most send a seventh-grade monk to compete with him for a test.
As long as he can pass the test and pass the test, good things will be settled.
But it's a pity that an opponent appeared halfway.
Li Guang, the deputy governor, strongly recommended another person to serve as the governor of the Ghosts and Gods Department in Yunlin County.
The governors were divided.
During this period, Du Guan Han Chen gradually took control of the situation in the Guangping Ghosts and Gods Department. Recently, he also received strong support from Master Boyunlei. He had the final say in the entire Guangping Ghosts and Gods Department and oversaw the overall situation.
As the second-in-command, Deputy Du Guan Li Guang did not have the ability to arm-wrestle with Du Guan Han Chen.
However, Li Guang, the deputy governor, seized on Chu Chen's weakness shortly after being promoted to the seventh level of Daoxing, and repeatedly opposed him, pushing forward his favorite candidates.
"Uncle, is this fellow Daoist Shen a person in charge of the deputy capital of Li Guang?"
Chu Chen asked curiously.
Master Boyunlei nodded slightly: "Yes, he has a close relationship with the Hell Sect..."
"Fellow Taoist Li Guang comes from a large Immortal Sect. He is not willing to live under others for a long time and is a mediocre person. He has either supported or recruited many talented people from other places. He is very ambitious and determined to make some achievements. "
"However, he can't beat Han Chen Du Guan at the moment. He is at a disadvantage in every aspect and suffers a lot. Most of the candidates for the big county Du Guan are controlled by Han Chen Du Guan, so it is difficult for him to get involved."
"You won't have any trouble if you go to a small county to serve as a governor, but if it's Yunlin County, it will give him an opportunity..."
Chu Chen suddenly realized.
Emotions themselves have become the target of the battle between the number one and number two.
From Master Boyun Leidao's mouth, he quickly learned the origin of his competitor.
This man's name is Shen Jian. He comes from the Fire Hell Sect of the Immortal Sect of the great sect. It is said that he is proficient in the [Thunder Fire Hell Technique]. He can use the Hell Fire Thunder Technique to summon gods and exorcise ghosts and burn out all demons. His magical powers are quite impressive.
Why "supposedly"?
There is no other reason. This fellow Daoist Shen has been in the seventh level of cultivation for less than two years, and has only been in the Immortal Palace Ghost and God Division for only half a year. He has not had many opportunities to show off his magical powers and talents.
At first glance, there is not much advantage over Chu Chen in all aspects.
The reason why Deputy Governor Li Guang and the senior practitioners of Xianting are particularly optimistic about this fellow Daoist Shen is because of his reputation as the "Hell Sect".
Family background is the "academic qualification" in this world, and it is endorsed by the "big sect" and receives different levels of attention.
In comparison, Chu Chen's sect "Lingshan Sect" has a low reputation.
When faced with opportunities, he often needs to rely on his own real ability to fight for them.
Chu Chen smiled:
"Uncle, am I being treated as a weakling?"
Taoist Yunlei smiled faintly: "That's right! You have just entered the seventh-level Taoism. Let alone others, even the master uncle, I think you should go to a small county to hone your skills."
Immediately, he continued.
"I don't know what your master thinks, but he must go to Yunlin County."
"What surprises me even more is that Du Guan Han Chen also values you very much."
Chu Chen smiled and had no intention of telling his uncle about "Lushan God".
He has the same philosophy as his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, but his uncle is a bit more diplomatic.
If he had known the thoughts of their master and apprentice, they would certainly not have been so active in promoting him to the position. Instead, he would have felt more and more appropriate for him to be in charge of a small county.
"Uncle, please don't look down on others. What about the big Immortal Sect? Is our Lingshan Sect weaker than them?"
"Hahahaha~ Not bad, we Lingshan Sect disciples are no weaker than others!"
Master Boyunlei stroked his beard and smiled, looking at Chu Chen with admiration in his eyes.
"Master~"
While the two were talking, senior brother Zhenqing hurried over to take charge of the south courtyard.
As soon as he entered the study, he asked:
Valley
"Master, what's wrong?"
His expression was full of reverence and expectation.
Taoist Yunlei also understood his disciple's thoughts, nodded slightly, and looked calm:
"It's finalized. I will be appointed as the governor of a small county."
Senior Brother Zhenqing trembled when he heard this and was extremely excited.
"Great, hahahaha~"
"Thank you, Master, for making it possible! Thank you, Master, for making it possible!"
Senior Brother Zhenqing was very excited. He originally thought that the master would sharpen him, but he didn't have much hope in running for the county governorship.
But... he never expected that the master would finally help him and push him to the top.
Chu Chen and Xiaoguizai also quickly congratulated:
"Congratulations to Senior Brother for being promoted to County Governor!"
"Same joy, same joy~"
Zhenqing took a handful of incense from the Immortal Cave of the Bracelet: "Little devil, this is a gift from senior brother to you."
The little kid took it with both hands happily and bowed repeatedly: "Elder brother is mighty!"
Zhen Qing was very proud of the spring breeze and looked at Chu Chen with joyful expression:
"Master, where is my junior brother? As the counselor of the county capital, he must be able to win the capital of a small county, right?"
Taoist Yunlei was originally in a good mood, but when he saw his disciple's complacent look, his face suddenly darkened.
Look at Zhenyi's calm and enterprising attitude just now, treating the magistrates of large counties and the true disciples of the great sect of Immortal Sect as if they were nothing, and then look at the little pride on his disciple's face...
Make a decision!
This difference is really not a small difference.
"Look at how hopeless you are. Your junior brother doesn't need to worry about you. I'm guaranteed to be in charge of the small county. Now you have to compete with the disciples of the big sect of the Immortal Sect to be in charge of the Yunlin County."
"Do you know what your junior brother said just now? What about the big sect of Immortal Sect? Are my disciples of Lingshan sect weaker than him? The big counties have decided to take care of me. Look, how brave you are, even if your junior brother doesn't take Yunlin He is in charge of the county capital, and his courage alone is worthy of praise..."
"Tell me about you. You don't have the role model of a senior brother. You're content with just a small county taking care of you. You have no future..."
Taoist Yunlei's words of reprimand couldn't stop as soon as they started.
Senior Brother Zhenqing shrank his neck, lowered his head and said nothing, and secretly cast a sad look at Chu Chen.
Junior brother, you have hurt me again.
Chu Chen and Xiao Guizai also expressed their sympathy in their eyes as they mourned for their senior brother.
Master (Master) is serious and old-fashioned, but in front of outsiders, he never speaks ill of them, only good things.
The master uncle is usually gentle, but when he trains his disciples, he is really harsh and merciless.
Chu Chen didn't do anything to save him. Seeing that his master's training was almost done, he immediately pulled his senior brother out of the study with an excuse.
In the outer courtyard of the Duguan Courtyard, Chu Chen met Wang Ping, Xuan Lingzi, Qian Sangua, and Yuantong.
These four people all won the immortal position of county governor without any dispute.
When Wang Ping and Yuantong went to small counties to serve as governors, there was no need for examination. As long as the decree of the Immortal Court was issued, they would take office according to the decree.
Xuan Lingzi and Qian Sangua have become candidates for the capital management of large counties. They need to pass the further assessment of Xianting before they can take office.
The assessment in Immortal Court is not too difficult.
With the Taoist and magical powers of Xuan Lingzi and Qian Sangua, I can handle it easily.
Speaking of which, the whereabouts of the four of them, plus senior brother Zhenqing, are already clear, and only Chu Chen still has to fight hard.
Only by overwhelming the true disciples of the great Immortal Sect can he win this competition!
At noon, Shen Jian, a disciple of the Hell Sect, arrived as scheduled.
Witnessed by Du Guan Han Chen, Deputy Du Guan Li Guang, Taoist Yun Lei and the Immortal Envoy from Xianting.
Chu Chen and Shen Jian came to the outskirts of the county city and began to fight and discuss skills.
ps: I have a 4,000-word chapter coming soon, which makes up for the half-day leave I took yesterday (*?▽?*)
