Chapter 1044: Chapter 665: Discussing rits and Granting Rewards_3 Chapter 1044: Chapter 665: Discussing rits and Granting Rewards_3 Adventure? Naturally, I almost lost my life.
But the harvest is just as imnse.
Thinking of this, he looked towards the Golden Body and discovered the tender sprout around its waist.
This Immortal General, descending to the Mortal Realm for the first ti, obtained the solid “evidence” which his colleagues guarding here for years failed to unravel. Though luck played a big part… rit is rit!
Tsk! This speed of promotion is probably even faster than General Qingluan’s back in the day!
“Good.”
Lady Qinghua cast a quiet glance at Shi Yong, saying nothing more, and led the Heavenly Soldiers straight towards the Immortal Court.
The Heavenly Soldiers heaved a sigh of relief and also sneakily glanced at Shi Yong.
They really didn’t understand Formation, but they weren’t brainless.
The Great Formation, which previously required “ticulous sculpting,” was set up by General Shi in an instant as soon as the energy rose in the distance, taking even less than the ti it takes an incense stick to burn. The efficient actions were all witnessed by everyone.
Looking more eager than anyone, he brought them rushing to this place.
Those unaware would think he was concerned about General Qian Qing’s safety.
But, linking it to earlier events, it increasingly seed like he was waiting for the General to encounter misfortune, aiming to claim credit through this Great Formation.
None of us are from influential backgrounds, or else we wouldn’t be here as Heavenly Soldiers risking our lives for rit.
One superior gets into trouble and lets his subordinates escape first, while another, during his colleague’s crisis, harbors his own cunning.
Viewed in comparison, it’s clear who stands superior.
Even the slight dissatisfaction so felt before about following General Qian Qing into danger vanished in an instant.
…
Immortal Court, Qingluan Palace.
The man, having removed his armor, was sitting upright behind a desk, with neither attendants nor maids by his side.
Yet on the table, there was a cup of tea that had gone sowhat cold.
During the days the Purple-Bearded White Dragon was away, Qingluan Immortal General had learned to brew tea himself.
Apart from previously asking Hong Jing to inquire about the Bodhisattva’s teachings and the decision to summon Horses’ Fortune to his side, he seemingly had no further interest in the disappearance of Zi Ling.
“…”
Shi Yong swallowed, having finished narrating what happened in the Mortal Realm.
Spotting that Qingluan Immortal General’s expression carried no significant fluctuation, he inadvertently glanced at the desk, and following that, saw the other party casually pick up a docunt, placing it on top of another reply letter.
Seeing this,
Shi Yong felt a chill in his heart and quickly averted his gaze.
That reply letter was clearly stamped with Hong Jing Immortal General’s Big Seal; indeed, the thoughts of his own Immortal General were far different from what they seed on the surface.
“General, Qian Qing’s luck is too good… He was really just a hair’s breadth away from losing his life. Who would dare bet their lives on Shenxu Mountain?” Shi Yong said with a forced smile, trying to ingratiate even if the mission was not accomplished.
“Addressing your superior by na, go receive ten lashes.”
Qingluan Immortal General gazed at the tender sprout on the desk, not even lifting his eyelids.
“This… This subordinate accepts the punishnt!”
Shi Yong’s face soured, almost forgetting Master Qingluan’s temperant.
Helpless, he clasped his hands: “What about General Qian Qing’s matter?”
“Make a mistake, suffer punishnt; earn rit, receive a reward.”
Qingluan Immortal General slowly took the tender sprout away, his voice calm, as if speaking of the most ordinary matter.
“Sixth Grade?” Shi Yong’s eyes reddened with envy; Qian Qing’s rapid rise might be the entire path another Immortal Official would take in a lifeti.
The next mont, however, his entire face froze as all that remained by his ear was the other’s uninflected voice.
“Secondary Fifth Rank.”
Looking again at Master Qingluan’s calm face, envy in Shi Yong’s eyes gradually turned to fear.
There’s an old saying, too much is as bad as too little…
Granted, Qian Qing managed this task, and by rit, it’s likely enough, but he was a Horses’ Fortune just recently!
It might seem like only a step from Sixth Grade to Secondary Fifth Rank, but it’s the chasm between a Heavenly Immortal and a Taiyi Immortal, almost insurmountable.
Even the newly promoted Qingluan Immortal General, to do this, must follow the rules and submit a petition for the Immortal Court’s review.
What exactly does he intend to do?
