Upon hearing this, Lu Guan looked up.
" Wu Yong?"
At this moment, Wu Yong's face was full of surprise. He quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said:
"What a coincidence to meet Lord Lu again in You Province City!"
Lu Guan was equally curious.
The two had only been apart for a few days, and logically, Wu Yong should have been in Qianqiu County at this time.
After all, although the position of Commander-in-Chief is not high, it is still a position with real power in the region, and one cannot easily get away from it. Why would he appear in the Demon Suppression Bureau of You Province City?
As if sensing Lu Guan's doubts, Wu Yong smiled and explained:
"Thanks to Lord Lu's patronage, I have accumulated considerable merit under your guidance and have been transferred to the Demon Suppression Bureau in You Province City."
Although his official rank remained unchanged, he was still a captain.
But are the general commanders of You Province City and Qianqiu County comparable?
Putting aside the issue of compensation, the fortuitous opportunity alone is enough to make people flock to it.
After all, this city is home to the most elite group of people in the entire You Province. Who knows, by chance, they might rise to fortuitous opportunity heights.
This is not without precedent.
But staying in a county town... not every county town will produce a monstrous boss like Lu Guan, who also brings credit to his subordinates.
Of course, his Lineage also played a role in this, but there's no need to mention that.
After all, everyone does it.
Wu Yong stared blankly at Lu Guan before him.
Demon-Slaying Envoys!
This news spread throughout the county town after Lu Guan left.
'How can the difference between people be so great? This is already the Gang Condensation Realm?!'
Keep in mind that when he first met Lu Guan, the latter was only at the Perfected Qi and Blood Realm, right?
How much time has passed?
Not even a month!
Looking at himself, he was still stuck in the Qi and Blood Realm, otherwise he wouldn't have maintained his position as a General Flag Officer without any progress.
After all, all official positions require a corresponding level of cultivation.
Ultimately, geniuses like Lu Guan are not the kind of targets I should be pursuing.
The most important thing for a person is to learn to understand themselves.
Wu Yong took a deep breath, suppressing his distracting thoughts, and asked, "Sir, have you come to the Demon Suppression Bureau to exchange for martial arts techniques?"
After all, Demon-Slaying Envoys free to come and go, and there's only one reason they can appear at the Demon Suppression Bureau: to exchange martial arts techniques.
Lu Guan nodded.
"Some progress."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yong stepped forward and offered to lead Lu Guan's horse.
"That's perfect timing. I currently work in the Merit Bureau. Please come with me, sir."
Having someone to guide you would be ideal, and Lu Guan nodded happily.
Thank you for your help.
"You're too kind, sir."
They first entered the yamen through a side gate. Wu Yong tied the Akhal-Teke horse to a stable on the side, patted the horse's neck, and then led Lu Guan through the gate.
Along the way, we kept getting stares.
When they saw Lu Guan's blue robe, their gazes involuntarily paused for a moment, and then the corners of their mouths twitched slightly.
Wearing a simple blue robe, but not the flying fish robe, that must be the Demon-Slaying Envoys?
'Damn it, these swarm of insects, they only remember us, the Demon Suppression Bureau, when they want something.'
The subtle relationship between the Demon-Slaying Envoys and the Demon Suppression Bureau was laid bare under these gazes.
Lu Guan ignored it.
After passing through numerous corridors, where light and shadow intertwined, I finally stopped in front of a door with a plaque that read "[ Merit Bureau ]" (meaning "Office of Merit and Achievement").
"Lord Lu, this is the place."
Wu Yong smiled slightly and pushed open the door to enter.
" Lord Xing, a Demon-Slaying Envoys has come to exchange martial arts techniques."
Inside the hall was a desk piled high with various documents, the stacks of files forming a small mountain that almost completely obscured the figure behind it.
A middle-aged man with a long beard and a refined appearance is reviewing official documents with his head down.
He wrote extremely quickly, lines of annotations flowing across the pages like water:
"Wait a bit, let me finish this batch of official documents."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yong's smile faltered slightly. He stepped forward, bent down, and whispered:
"This Demon-Slaying Envoys was my former direct superior. I beg you to grant me this favor, sir."
Only then did Lord Xing look up, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
'You're just a newcomer transferred from a small county town, what face do you have in front of me? You really don't know your place!'
Thinking of this, he immediately decided that after today, he would send Wu Yong to sit on the sidelines.
The Merit Bureau has no shortage of idle jobs; inventorying the warehouse and copying documents are tasks that can keep you sitting for hours.
This will also let the newcomers know the rules of the Merit Bureau.
"A boss? What boss became Demon-Slaying Envoys?"
Lord Xing casually picked up a teacup from the side and moistened his throat.
In this county town, the highest cultivation level is only True Qi Realm, not even enough to qualify Demon-Slaying Envoys. How dare they presume to be worthy?
However, since Wu Yong had interrupted him, he had no choice but to stop writing, turn to look at Lu Guan, and scrutinize him with a hint of judgment in his eyes.
The previous neglect was merely due to the officials of the Demon Suppression Bureau's dissatisfaction with the Demon-Slaying Envoys, and they were deliberately making things difficult for them.
After all, in their eyes, the Demon-Slaying Envoys were outsiders, while only their own colleagues were their own people.
Although they were all fighting to slay demons for the Great Li, people are all made of flesh and blood, and ultimately, there are differences in their relationships.
However, even the lowest- Bronze-Token Demon-Slaying Envoys a master of the Gang Condensation Realm, similar in level to him.
Therefore, despite the difficulties, the task still needs to be done for them.
Who can blame them when they're directly under the emperor's command and have the strongest fist?
Wow, so young?
At first glance, Lord Xing raised an eyebrow.
The young man before me had clear and bright features, and his face still carried a youthful air that had not yet faded; he looked to be no more than twenty years old.
But it quickly calmed down.
They've gotten used to it; after all, all the young geniuses of Great Li are trying to Demon-Slaying Envoys.
"A few wisps of demonic soul, what martial arts can be exchanged for?"
Lord Xing extended his hand, gesturing for Lu Guan to take out his waist token so he could examine the remnant souls of demons.
Lu Guan understood and took out the silver token, placing it in the palm of the Lord Xing.
"Can an Inner Landscape Realm demon be exchanged for an Inner Landscape Realm martial arts technique?"
"If it's too little, could we use a demon that has reached the peak of Qi Condensation to make up for it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lord Xing paused, looked down at the silver plaque in his hand, and his expression changed slightly.
He then suddenly stood up.
'I must stand up and serve you!'
Young, silver medalist, Inner Landscape.
Each of the three alone wouldn't have caused him such a reaction, but their combination forced him to take it very seriously.
The fact that the other party is exchanging for the Inner Landscape Realm technique means they are not yet at the Inner Landscape Realm, but they are definitely at the Perfected Gang Condensation Realm.
At such a young age, to have already Perfected Gang Condensation Realm, one must possess extraordinary talent.
And yet, before even advancing to the Inner Landscape Realm, he could still exchange a wisp of the remnant soul of the Inner Landscape Realm demon for martial arts techniques.
What kind of background must this person have?!
How could a demon at the Inner Landscape Realm be killed by someone at the Gang Condensation Realm?
Thinking of this, Lord Xing immediately smiled kindly at Wu Yong:
"Xiao Wu, what are you standing there for? Aren't you going to help this person...?"
My surname is Lu, and my surname Lu Guan ).
"Oh, right, right, why don't you invite this Lord Lu to sit down!"
His words and tone were completely different from what he had said just now.
