Two Personal Disciples of the Director of the Celestial Observatory

Within the territory of the Eastern Continent, at the headquarters of the Heavenly Supervision Department.

Although only one True Person of the Divine Connection Realm is stationed here, due to the person's overwhelmingly powerful performance in the Divine Connection Realm, very few major events have occurred here for a long time.

More often than not, news of major events from all over the Eastern Continent reaches this place.

Under such circumstances.

As the news spread among the disciples of the Imperial Observatory, and due to the influence of the Hundred-Foot Dharma Form from that day, the death of Elder Chen of the Imperial Sky Observatory could no longer be concealed and resounded throughout the area.

If the perpetrators were powerful figures from certain aristocratic families or sects, they would have already been surrounded by numerous powerful members of the Heavenly Supervision Department, forcing them to obediently hand over the culprits.

But this situation is rather special.

Not only was the murderer a newly promoted Guest Elder within the Heavenly Supervision Department, but the attitude of the bureau's higher-ups toward the matter was also quite ambiguous.

To date, no relevant punitive regulations have been issued.

Even the Director of the Director of the Celestial Observatory, who was always on business trips but always concerned about the situation in the Eastern Continent, did not issue any kind of order regarding this matter.

This attitude made many members of the Heavenly Supervision Department speculate that there was something else going on with the White-robed Guest Elder.

This idea became even more ingrained after learning one morning that the crisis in Tai'an Grand Prefecture had been resolved.

More and more people began to believe that the Guest Elder had acted with the tacit approval of the Director of the Celestial Observatory.

The purpose was to remove corrupt elders like Chen Rui who abused their power and violated the law.

For a time, many of the elders within the Heavenly Supervision Department became much more obedient, and some of their previously unauthorized misconduct was curbed.

Now.

In a courtyard within the headquarters, the previously dusty tables and chairs have been polished to a shine, and the locust trees, which were initially overgrown with leaves, have been trimmed neatly.

The crisp sound of flowing water could be heard continuously from it.

Whether it was just my imagination or not, the officials of the Heavenly Supervision Department seemed quite afraid of this place and often chose to take a detour.

The woman dressed in simple, elegant clothes was an exception.

She emerged from the mansion, which symbolized the "Record Keeper," holding a newly stamped official document, and quietly approached the courtyard gate.

After slightly concealing the languid expression in his eyes...

The second disciple of the Director of the Celestial Observatory sighed softly, pushed open the door, and entered. "Senior Brother Tan, are you there?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will stay here until Junior Brother Qin returns."

In the tranquil courtyard, a man in a blue robe sat in the hall with the main gate wide open, calmly flipping through the numerous documents on the table at an extremely fast pace.

He didn't look up, and asked calmly, "As for you, Junior Sister Fu, what brings you here?"

"What else could I possibly want from you?"

Upon hearing this, the young woman named Fu Yunshu's lips twitched slightly. "Naturally, it still concerns the matter of what to do with Elder Ye."

If her master hadn't instructed her to handle this matter seriously, she truly wouldn't have wanted to see that deadpan face of the other person.

Elder Chen of the Imperial Sky Observatory was known throughout the entire Imperial Sky Observatory for his fondness for settling personal scores and for being even more petty than the back door of the auspicious Golden Toad. The death of such a person would not be a great loss to the department.

Moreover, it was Elder Ye Li who was in the right in this matter.

Why risk offending a distinguished and incredibly powerful Guest Elder for the sake of a morally corrupt dispatch elder?

She had heard about it.

Upon seeing the transfer order, which was clearly designed to make things difficult, the latter went to Tai'an Grand Prefecture to fight the fire without the slightest hesitation, demonstrating a truly admirable character.

"Then you may leave. There's nothing more to say about this."

Senior Brother Tan did not stop what he was doing, and his tone became noticeably colder. "If those who arbitrarily harm their colleagues are not punished, our Eastern Continent Heavenly Supervision Department will be in chaos sooner or later."

"But you've seen his character too. A retainer who dares to rush into dangerous places to put out fires, how could he kill his colleague if he wasn't forced into it?"

Fu Yunshu frowned slightly as she approached the table.

What evidence do you have for what you're saying?

With the light blocked, Senior Brother Tan finally raised his head and replied calmly, "In the end, it's just your guess."

"From another perspective, he might also be deliberately going to a military intelligence-critical location to buy time in order to avoid being investigated by the department."

"Or perhaps he'll happen to earn some military merit, which will make us treat him leniently..."

"Then you're mistaken," Fu Yunshu interrupted him directly.

She laid the documents she was holding on the table, and her previously lazy tone suddenly became more serious:

"Not only was he not there to stall for time, but he also resolved the stalemate in Tai'an Grand Prefecture in just one day, killing Zhu Yue of the Nine Tripod Sword Sect on the spot."

"Senior brother, as Half-step True Person, you should be aware of the weight of this matter."

He took the document and looked at the relevant records on it.

Senior Brother Tan's expression finally showed a hint of emotion.

But before Fu Yunshu could relax, he regained his composure.

He then replied, "One thing at Unity time."

P. S.: I caught the flu while out and about, and despite my best efforts, I couldn't beat it.

Also, my physical condition is indeed not very good; I have a persistent high fever. I only managed to write these two pictures while I was still lucid. My apologies for the lateness.
