Promoted to Earth-rank Garrison Commander!

The tense stalemate was instantly broken.

Seeing this, the black-robed figure on the right sighed, "As expected, you were still one move ahead."

"I agree to this matter."

The black-robed figure on the left said in a deep voice, "Everything will proceed according to plan. After this is over, I guarantee you will get what you desire."

"Fine."

Then, the black-robed figure on the right stood up and left the secret room through a hidden door on the right.

Heavenly Mirror Division.

"Qingzi, you didn't disgrace Old Wei. You completed this mission beautifully."

Zhou Cang circled Wei Qing, his eyes full of relief.

Wei Qing's growth speed far exceeded his imagination.

He thought, If only Old Wei could see this.

"Uncle Zhou, what about me!" Jun Wushang teased from the side.

"Mm, you did well too."

"That's it?"

"What, you went on a business trip and got an opportunity, and you're still not satisfied?"

Zhou Cang glanced at him, then put on an exaggerated expression of "sudden realization."

"Aww... our great Garrison Commander Jun worked hard this time!"

"Congratulations, great Garrison Commander Jun, on your significant increase in strength. So, shouldn't you treat us to a meal!"

Jun Wushang was happy at first but immediately shook his head like a rattle drum when he heard about treating them.

"I have no money, and I won't give my life."

Zhang Xue was amused by the playful atmosphere.

"You must be Miss Xue'er, right?" Zhou Cang looked at Zhang Xue, his eyes filled with memories.

"She looks like her."

"Sister Yan, how have you been lately?"

Zhang Xue was stunned at first, then came to her senses, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Zhou. My mother is doing well!"

Zhou Cang saw this and explained, "Back then, when I was on a mission with Wei Qing's father, Wei Yuan, and Zhou Kai, your mother saved our lives. It's just that later, your mother went to Jizhou with her family, and we lost touch a bit."

"To let those guys in Jizhou pick up a genius physician for free."

"If your mother hadn't started cultivating so late, her martial arts achievements would definitely have been higher."

"While you're in the Imperial City, don't try to handle everything yourself. Feel free to come to me."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou."

Zhang Xue smiled sweetly.

She finally understood the reason behind her mother's words, "If you have trouble, someone will help you."

"Mm." Zhou Cang smiled and nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Jun Wushang, "And you, kid, if you dare to bully Xue'er, watch your backside."

"How could I dare!" Jun Wushang shrunk his neck and raised his hands in surrender, "I'd dote on her, it's too late!"

"That's more like it."

Zhou Cang nodded approvingly.

"Later..."

Just as Zhou Cang was about to say something else, a duty Garrison Commander ran in.

"Lord Zhou, the Division Chief has asked Wei Qing and Jun Wushang to go to the meeting hall."

Wei Qing and Jun Wushang were both stunned. The Division Chief wanted to see them?

The two exchanged glances, their eyes falling on Zhou Cang.

"Understood."

Zhou Cang, as if he had expected this, remained calm, his expression unchanged.

Seeing their gazes, he explained, "It's a good thing!"

"When you get to the Division Chief, be mindful not to be too presumptuous."

"Xue'er, you'll stay with me for now. You two go ahead."

"Yes, Uncle Zhou."

The two heard it was good news and were overjoyed, responding in unison.

A moment later.

The two followed the duty Garrison Commander to the conference hall.

At this moment, in the main hall.

Nangong Yu sat in the main seat, while Xie Yun and the other three sat in their old positions on the sides.

As Wei Qing and Jun Wushang stepped into the conference hall, a terrifying aura swept over them.

The two figures flickered, their feet stumbled, but with astonishing willpower, they stood firm without taking a single step back.

Then, with respectful expressions, they bowed:

"Your subordinate Wei Qing greets the Division Chief, Minister Xie, Minister Shen, Minister Su, and Minister Lin."

"Your subordinate Jun Wushang greets the Division Chief, Minister Xie, Minister Shen, Minister Su, and Minister Lin."

Seeing this, the five nodded in satisfaction.

Nangong Yu slightly nodded and waved his hand.

Instantly, Wei Qing and Jun Wushang felt themselves gently lifted by an invisible force, and the terrifying aura surrounding them quietly dissipated.

"You handled the matter before Qingcheng well this time."

"The Heavenly Mirror Division has always been fair in its rewards and punishments."

"Wei Qing."

"Your subordinate is here."

"In consideration of your performance and strength in Qingcheng, the Division has decided to promote you exceptionally to an Earth-rank Garrison Commander, with a standalone courtyard. You may choose one Earth Grade Cultivation Method from the Library Pavilion and receive one Meridian Opening Pill."

"If you can break through to the Sixth Rank within three months, there will be a mysterious reward for you."

"Yes, your subordinate will not fail the Division Chief's expectations."

Hearing this, Wei Qing was overjoyed.

The rewards this time were substantial, with the Division even offering an Earth Grade Cultivation Method.

He surmised it was related to his comprehension of Profound Meaning.

He had already received a Meridian Opening Pill from the system before and had planned to take it when he reached the peak of the Sixth Rank before breaking through to the Fifth Rank.

Now, with two Meridian Opening Pills in hand, he could break through to the Fifth Rank at any time.

The current Wei residence was the courtyard rewarded to Wei Yuan when he was promoted to Earth Grade.

"Jun Wushang, in consideration of your performance in Qingcheng, you are officially promoted to an Imperial-rank Garrison Commander, with one High-grade Profound Tier Cultivation Method and a bottle of Qi Gathering Pills."

"If you can break through to the Sixth Rank within three months, you will also receive the mysterious reward promised to Wei Qing."

"Yes, your subordinate will do his utmost and will not disappoint you, Division Chief."

Jun Wushang cupped his fists and responded loudly.

Then, Xie Yun spoke, "You have one day to rest. Over the next three months, I will arrange a series of training plans for you."

"Yes, Minister."

"Also, remember to go to the archives to change your identification," Lin Wantang added.

"Yes, Minister Lin."

"Division Chief..."

Seeing Wei Qing hesitate to speak, Nangong Yu guessed what he wanted to ask:

"Regarding your father, Tantai has not sent back any news yet. We will notify you immediately if there is any news of your father."

"Thank you, Division Chief."

Nangong Yu added, "Also, fighting is acceptable, as long as it does not violate the law."

"Your subordinate understands!"

He had also heard the news about Wei Lin getting involved with the Third Prince, Zhou Yan.

He had some reservations initially.

Now, with Nangong Yu's words, that slight concern completely disappeared.

After Wei Qing and Jun Wushang left.

Nangong Yu asked, "What do you think?"

"Calm in the face of danger, they are promising talents," Lin Wantang said slightly, a hint of admiration on her lips.

"Their aura is long and their foundation is solid, with no signs of superficiality," Su Henian said slowly.

"My hands are itching," Shen Hanbing rubbed his hands, his eyes burning with eagerness.

Xie Yun, who had been smiling at the previous two's evaluations!

His expression changed drastically upon hearing Shen Hanbing's words: "Old Shen, I only agreed out of respect for the Division Chief."

"If you lay a hand on me without restraint, don't blame me for turning on you."

"Don't worry!"

"Look at how stingy you are, I despise you." Shen Hanbing raised his middle finger.

Xie Yun roared in anger, "Damn it, you old geezer, are you looking for a fight?"

"Bring it on..."

Seeing this familiar scene, the other three shook their heads helplessly.
