Inside a quiet room.
What does "one code Unity code" mean?
Listening to Tan Hua's words, Fu Yunshu found it hard to understand.
This newly promoted guest elder's achievements are so remarkable that all the stewards and disciples at the entire Eastern Continent Heavenly Supervision Department headquarters are completely convinced of his merits. Even if their own masters were here, they probably wouldn't hold him too accountable.
Fu Yunshu knew that the man in the blue robe in front of her was rigid and inflexible.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been appointed to the position of [Record Keeper] of the Eastern Continent Heavenly Supervision Department.
But to her surprise, even after she presented Ye Li's impressive credentials from this trip, the other party still wouldn't give up...
He's so rigid, no wonder even his master often scolds him!
"Literal meaning."
Senior Brother Tan placed the document in his hand on the table, glanced at it, and said bluntly, "I have also heard about Elder Chen's bad character. Although there is indeed an element of favoritism and bending the law, his actions are ultimately in accordance with the law."
"Ye Li's achievement this time is indeed significant, but it was also built upon the sacrifice of an elder at the half-step Divine Connection Realm, which allowed him to successfully eliminate the threat posed by the Nine Tripod Sword Sect."
He looked up at Fu Yunshu and continued in a deep voice, "If we were to pardon him because of some merits, then every member of my Heavenly Supervision Department would live in fear, lest they be killed by those 'meritorious officials' one day, wouldn't that be it?"
"Junior Sister Fu, I can share some of my military merits with him as a reward."
"But his merits outweigh his faults. His direct attack on Elder Chen, bypassing the Law Enforcement Hall, was ultimately against the rules!"
Even if you all agree to let this matter drop, I will absolutely not let him go!
By the end, Tan Hua's tone had become resolute, as if there was no room for negotiation.
"... You're hopeless."
Fu Yunshu's expression changed several times.
As she spoke, she snatched the documents back from the table, angrily saying, "I was so sleepy, I actually thought I could explain this to you properly."
"What do you mean by 'merits outweighing demerits'? That's just nice talk. If it were an ordinary Heaven and Earth Realm cultivator, there's probably an 80% chance they'd die on Cloud Pine Mountain!"
"Elder Chen's intention to settle personal scores is blatantly obvious!"
"Tan Hua! I'm only letting this go because I respect you as my senior brother. The situation in the Eastern Continent is turbulent right now, and our master is constantly on the move, sending countless requests for help to the Central Continent!"
"Even I am constantly preoccupied with the trivial matters of various prefectures, and I don't even have time to slack off. I just hope that a reclusive master will descend from the heavens and become a guest advisor in our Heavenly Supervision Department, so that he can directly solve the Trouble of the Eastern Continent."
"Now we've finally found someone who's somewhat capable..."
Fu Yunshu pointed at the man in the blue robe's face, her fingers trembling with anger. "You insist on promoting your rules of the Heavenly Supervision Department here! I've already said there was a reason for this, why can't you understand human language!"
"If you have so much free time, why don't you go and settle the Trouble in the Gushu Grand Commandery? Why don't you go to the Yinhai Grand Commandery and teach that Red Dust Immortal Gate a lesson?!"
Upon hearing this, Tan Hua's expression shifted slightly, but he quickly replied:
"We don't have that capability yet."
He is still a long way from reaching the Divine Connection Realm.
Other major prefectures might have ways to provide assistance and relieve the siege, but the two major prefectures mentioned by the other side were not to be underestimated.
The Trouble of the former Gushu Grand Commandery were even more troublesome than those of the Nine Tripod Sword Sect.
The latter, the Red Dust Immortal Gate, not only has a genuine Divine Connection Realm presiding over it, but also recently saw the birth of a new True Person.
Today, it is a top-tier power in the Eastern Continent, One Gate, Two True Persons.
This lineup would be among the top tier even among the first- Mountain Gate sects.
For a time, it was unparalleled in the surrounding counties, and its original peacefulness turned into restlessness, with signs of breaking away from the control of the Heavenly Supervision Department.
This is precisely the time when a wake-up call is needed.
However, Tan Hua's cultivation level was only half a step into the Divine Connection Realm. He had just refined his Dharma Form to perfection and did not yet possess the foundation to compress the space between his eyebrows.
Going there rashly would be a mistake; it would be a mistake to even deter them from becoming more arrogant.
"Then don't cause any more trouble!"
Fu Yunshu clenched her teeth, almost squeezing out the sound through her clenched teeth.
It wasn't that she wanted to speak up for Ye Li; she hadn't even met him yet, so there was no real relationship between them.
It's a bit like discarding a used tool after it has served its purpose, since they just made a contribution to the war effort.
Those guest officials of the Heavenly Supervision Department, seeing this, couldn't help but feel disheartened.
However, the man in the blue robe in front of me still shook his head slightly, his voice unchanged. "I am clear about the situation in the Eastern Continent, but we must first pacify the internal before we can deal with external threats. Rules are rules, and we cannot completely ignore his crimes just because he has made contributions."
He paused for a moment, then added, "Don't worry, I'll handle this with care. I'll only inflict some physical pain and make him lose some insignificant face; I won't actually take his life."
"..."
Fu Yunshu knew he was going to say that, and she couldn't help but clench her fists.
I've tried everything, from kind words to harsh ones, but I still can't get through to him. I really want to just knock him out and drag him out.
Unfortunately, she was no match for this senior brother.
Furious, Fu Yunshu could only grit her teeth and threaten, "I can't control you. I'll tell Master, and you'll be in for a scolding."
After saying that, she turned around and walked straight out of the courtyard.
Tan Hua looked away without saying anything to stop her.
He always believed he was on the right track.
"..."
Hearing the sound of documents turning behind him again.
Fu Yunshu had deliberately slowed down, was secretly annoyed and finally decided that she would definitely file a serious complaint this time.
Fortunately, Qin Han has always been sensible and should be able to handle the matter properly and reassure Elder Ye not to return to headquarters in the coming years.
As long as the two don't meet, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Even though Tan Hua was a direct disciple of the Director of the Celestial Observatory, he couldn't really stay here for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Fu Yunshu immediately quickened her pace.
However, she stopped abruptly as soon as she reached the door, before she could even cross the threshold.
The reason was that a handsome White-robed Youth was blocking the doorway.
His face looked somewhat familiar.
Fu Yunshu was momentarily taken aback. "You are...?"
"Ye Li."
The White-robed Youth smiled gently, but his gaze swept indifferently over her, heading straight for what was behind her.
I heard someone is waiting for me.
His slightly raised voice, like a thunderclap piercing the silent night sky, suddenly echoed throughout the spacious courtyard.
The previously relaxed atmosphere suddenly froze.
The man in the blue robe behind the desk finally stopped what he was doing, looked up, and said, "..."
