When Did Checking Fates Become a Matter of Weighing Them!

The Water Department Immortal Official's teeth chattered.

"Your servant—I don't know."

"You don't know?"

Haotian's voice dropped.

"The Water Department Old Seal is there, and so is the Water Department Preliminary Register."

The jade pattern was too faint.

Too faint to establish guilt.

But if Zhao Xuan kept asking, sooner or later he would reach whoever had drawn up the Position Assignment
