Pacification Investigation Office
Gao Yunyi stood on the Loess Plateau,
The scorching sun baked the land, and the air seemed to become distorted.
However, not a drop of sweat appeared on Gao Yunyi's forehead, and his blue robe remained clean and pristine, exuding an ethereal elegance.
As for why I saved those refugees earlier...
There is no reason.
If I absolutely had to choose one
It means that both labor and management are willing.
Save them if you want, kill them if you want.
There are so many ridiculous reasons.
He didn't want to stay in this place anymore.
He originally planned to enjoy the beautiful scenery and the good life, as if he were giving himself a vacation.
I never expected them to pull something like this on him.
It's absolutely disgusting and ruins my mood.
It's pointless.
However, just as Gao Yunyi was preparing to fly away from this boring place on his sword...
Three people suddenly ran up from behind.
Very fast,
It was as if they were afraid that if they delayed even a second longer, the immortal would fly away.
Thump--
Three men dressed in tattered clothes, looking like vagrants, knelt on the ground almost simultaneously.
He kept a respectful distance from Gao Yunyi, neither too far nor too close.
"Chief Banner Commander the Pacification Investigation Office: Lu Jianxing."
"Pacification Investigation Office's Squad Commander: Shen Lian."
"Pacification Investigation Office Squad Commander: Jin Yichuan."
"Greetings, Immortal Excellency."
The three spoke in unison, their voices filled with awe, excitement, and a sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.
Gao Yunyi had already noticed the three guys who had been secretly following him.
I initially thought they were just greedy refugees or people grateful to the Immortals and Gods.
I never expected him to be someone from the imperial court.
Moreover, the Pacification Investigation Office sounds a bit like the Imperial Guard.
And these are some other names,
That name sounds familiar.
What is it?
Gao Yunyi became interested and asked without turning his head.
Upon hearing that the Immortal had actually responded, the three Pacification Investigation Office were overjoyed.
You should know that in order to find the Immortal's traces, their Pacification Investigation Office practically searched the entire Ji Province.
But Immortals come and go without a trace, Divine Dragons appear and disappear without a trace; they are not so easy to find.
But there's nothing I can do.
The Commander given a death order: if the Immortal's whereabouts are not found within two months, everyone in the entire Pacification Investigation Office of Ji Province will be executed.
With the deadline drawing ever closer,
Everyone in the entire Ji Province Pacification Investigation Office was nearly frantic with worry.
Unexpectedly, hard work pays off.
The three of them actually found it.
After witnessing three bolts of heavenly lightning strike the wicked to death, and then Immortal appearing to bestow divine water and save the refugees,
The three of them cried louder than the refugees and knelt more devoutly than the displaced people.
After hearing the Immortal's question,
Chief Banner Commander Lu Jianxing immediately replied:
"Reporting to Your Immortal Venerable, we three from the Pacification Investigation Office have come on the Emperor's orders. His Majesty, His Majesty hearing of Your Immortal Venerable's reappearance, has expressed his admiration and has specially dispatched us to respectfully invite you to the Capital."
"His Majesty will sweep the palace in anticipation of your arrival, and with sincere desire to seek your guidance, we earnestly request that you Immortal Venerable, step aside and accompany us back to the capital."
That's right.
Besides sending Xiao Wenhan to invite the Immortals, Liang Emperor also
They also dispatched Pacification Investigation Office to search for the Immortal's whereabouts throughout Ji Province.
Xiao Wenhan is the one in the public eye.
The Pacification Investigation Office operates in secret.
This is a secret order.
Apart from Liang Emperor and the Pacification Investigation Office government agency), no one in the court knew about it.
Even the Imperial Eldest Grandson and the Eldest Princess kept it a secret.
"The emperor wants to invite me to the Capital?"
Gao Yunyi smiled inwardly.
If it were me, newly arrived in this unfamiliar world, I definitely wouldn't go.
The Capital is a place where the waters run deep.
Who knows what dragons or tigers are lurking inside?
But after he had figured out the ins and outs of this world and understood his own strength,
In his eyes, the Capital was no longer a den of dragons and tigers.
On the contrary, it aroused considerable interest.
Since it's a vacation,
Is there anything in this world more interesting than the Capital?
Gao Yunyi swore,
This time it's definitely not because of the Red Quest.
[Mission: Enter the capital.]
[Mission Requirements: The Emperor of the Daliang Kingdom sincerely invites you to the capital for an audience. As a disciple of a righteous immortal sect, you should not tarnish the prestige of the Azure Profound Sect during your mortal experience. Descend upon the Capital with your unparalleled immortal demeanor to deter the Immortal and uphold the great path of our immortal sect.]
[Quest Rewards: Experience Points:???, Items:???]
[The final reward is calculated based on the level of shock felt by ordinary people in the Capital.]
[Would you accept?]
Gao Yunyi silently closed the task panel.
Then he asked a question that left the three people kneeling nearby completely baffled.
"Were the three of you in the crowd just now?"
Although he didn't understand the Immortal's words, Chief Banner Commander Lu Jianxing still answered truthfully:
"Reporting to the Immortal, the three of us were indeed in the crowd just now and witnessed firsthand the Immortal's Immortal Arts of saving the disaster victims. We are filled with admiration for the Immortal Venerable's compassion."
Despite Lu Jianxing's fawning praise, Gao Yunyi's voice remained unchanged.
"So when those three thugs were about to harm the little girl, you, as government officials, did nothing, right?"
Upon hearing this,
The three Pacification Investigation Office were immediately stunned.
Anyone who isn't an idiot can tell.
The Immortal was blaming them, as Pacification Investigation Office, for standing idly by and failing to help those in distress.
Even if the Immortals ' voices were devoid of emotion, even if they couldn't see the expressions on Immortal faces.
But all three of them also knew in their hearts that...
The Immortal is angry.
The consequences of Immortal getting angry are terrifying.
Those three plumes of black smoke, from which no remains of the corpses, serve as a warning from the past.
Jin Yichuan, one of the three, quickly spoke up to explain:
"Immortal Majesty, Non-Self refused to help, but rather that we were entrusted with an imperial mission to investigate in secret. Time was of the essence, and we simply had no time to concern ourselves with the lives of these refugees..."
It would have been better if this hadn't been explained.
As soon as he was told, Lu Jianxing knew he was in trouble.
She quickly covered Jin Yichuan's mouth, that idiot, and then pulled out a dagger from her pocket.
He drew his dagger and stabbed himself three times in the chest.
In an instant,
Fresh blood gushed out, soaking through his clothes.
"We are guilty, deserving of death, but we also have our reasons. Our superiors have ordered that if we cannot find the Immortal's whereabouts within two months, all several hundred officers of the Ji Province Pacification Investigation Office will be executed."
"Immortal Venerable to forgive my two brothers, for we were acting under orders and had no choice in the matter. All the sins were committed by me alone, and I am willing to atone with my death..."
Lu Jianxing's face turned deathly pale. Ignoring his bleeding and injured body, he slammed his head heavily against the ground.
He wanted to bear the guilt and the wrath of the Immortals alone, and begged the Immortals to show mercy and spare the lives of his two brothers.
"Big brother."
"Big brother."
Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan, standing beside him, had tears in their eyes and choked with sobs. They were so moved by their elder brother's selfless act of righteousness that they trembled uncontrollably.
Then the three grown men buried their heads in each other's arms, weeping bitterly, overcome with grief.
A touching drama unfolded, showcasing deep brotherhood and tender emotions.
Gao Yunyi: "..."
