Chapter 9: A Servant Who Doesn't Use His Brain Deserves a Lifeti of Bullying
Han Lie had initially thought of seeking out Ye Qingxuan to intervene, but upon further reflection, he realized it was unlikely. Ye Qingxuan might have been willing to help him resolve the issue, but the chances of her actually stepping in were slim.
"Who knows, that female demon lord Ye Qingxuan might be watching from inside the Violet Heaven Palace right now..."
The incident that had just occurred had basically happened right under Ye Qingxuan's nose. Yet, up to this point, she had shown no reaction whatsoever.
This indicated that Ye Qingxuan had no intention of intervening in this matter. Or perhaps, she wanted to see how Han Lie himself would handle the current predicant.
Whether he beca the designated Servant Disciple for the Violet Heaven Palace or not didn't matter much to Han Lie. The key issue now was that once he returned to the Servant Disciple Departnt, he would definitely be in for a rough ti.
"Dammit, if This Senior were at the Foundation Establishnt Stage right now, things wouldn't be so troubleso."
The Servant Disciple Departnt was essentially a gathering place for the untalented. Anyone with even a bit of cultivation aptitude would never be assigned there as a Servant Disciple.
Even the manager of the Servant Disciple Departnt was only barely at the early Foundation Establishnt Stage. That Zhao Donghai from earlier, the supervisor of the departnt's Rebirth Hall, was rely at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
But for the current Han Lie, they were still opponents he couldn't hope to match.
"That's it!"
In the next mont, Han Lie suddenly saw the light. "A servant who doesn't use his brain deserves a lifeti of bullying!"
With his current cultivation level, he certainly couldn't struggle against the manager of the Servant Disciple Departnt. But that didn't an Han Lie was a fish on the chopping block, completely at their rcy.
His biggest advantage right now was working under Sect Leader Ye Qingxuan, and secondly, his seniority!
Having been in the Heavenly Void Sect for over a hundred years, he wouldn't dare speak of deeper secrets. But at least he was well aware of all those shady, underhanded affairs within the Servant Disciple Departnt.
Therefore, Han Lie imdiately returned to his room, fetched paper and a brush, and began writing furiously.
Approximately two hours later, a letter of accusation was completed.
Leaving the wooden hut and looking at the gate of the Violet Heaven Palace, Han Lie found himself in a dilemma. The biggest problem now was how to get this letter of accusation into Ye Qingxuan's hands.
When not performing chores, according to the rules, Han Lie, as a Servant Disciple, was not allowed to enter or leave the Violet Heaven Palace freely.
"Old Man Han, haven't seen you in a while. You seem much more spirited."
Just when he needed it most.
Just as Han Lie was at his wit's end, a graceful figure in cyan and white robes approached the Violet Heaven Palace, carrying an invigorating fragrance with her.
It was a young woman around eighteen years old. Her stunningly beautiful face still held a touch of youthful innocence and bore a bright, cheerful smile.
Her thick black hair was tied into a high ponytail that stood up perkily. Like a cascading waterfall, it flowed all the way down to her calves.
Bai Ling, Saintess of the Heavenly Void Sect and also Ye Qingxuan's personal disciple.
At eighteen years old, she had already reached late Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivation. Such terrifying talent could be called outstanding among n—truly one in ten thousand!
Bai Ling's appearance imdiately filled Han Lie with joy. Although their statuses were vastly different, Bai Ling had a relatively approachable personality. So after so interactions back and forth, Han Lie had actually exchanged a few words with this Saintess. That's why she took the initiative to greet him when she saw him just now.
He quickly clasped his hands and bowed respectfully. "This old servant greets the Saintess."
According to etiquette, as a re Servant Disciple, Han Lie should have knelt down upon seeing Saintess Bai Ling. But Bai Ling didn't seem to favor such formal courtesies. So after eting her a few tis, Han Lie only needed to bow with clasped hands as a greeting.
"Is the Saintess here to see the Sect Leader?" Although it sounded sowhat redundant, Han Lie still needed to ask.
"Mhm. What's wrong? Is sothing the matter?"
"Heh, it's nothing major. It's just that there is an item I need to trouble you with delivering to the Sect Leader."
"What is it? I'm going to see my master anyway. Hand it over."
Han Lie didn't dare delay and promptly handed over the letter of accusation to Bai Ling.
"I'm off now. Bye-bye, Old Man Han."
Bai Ling didn't look at what was written in the letter. She simply put it away and turned to enter the Violet Heaven Palace.
Inside the courtyard of the Violet Heaven Palace, Bai Ling finally took out and began reading through Han Lie's letter of accusation.
"Accusing Jia Tong, manager of the Servant Disciple Departnt? Interesting... Then I must present this to Master even more."
A slight smile touched Bai Ling's vermilion lips as a glint of mischief flashed in her bright silver eyes.
A mont later, Bai Ling's expression returned to normal.
She frowned slightly in puzzlent. "Strange. Why did I suddenly feel just now that Old Man Han actually looked quite handso? I never had that feeling before."
"What exactly is going on?"
Bai Ling couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she thought.
"It went surprisingly smoothly..."
Back in his room, Han Lie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as that letter of accusation reached Ye Qingxuan's hands, he didn't believe she could ignore it any longer.
There were many shady affairs within the Heavenly Void Sect. For example, high-ranking mbers of various departnts using their power for personal gain or engaging in corruption and bribery. Such things were commonplace.
But almost everyone maintained an unspoken agreent not to speak about them openly. As long as these matters weren't brought into public view, Ye Qingxuan would turn a blind eye. Such things were impossible to eradicate completely. As Sect Leader, Ye Qingxuan naturally understood this point well.
As long as everyone did their jobs properly while taking their share and managed the Heavenly Void Sect well enough overall—she wouldn't inquire too deeply into details.
But if soone brought these matters out into open discussion—then these originally insignificant matters weighing less than four ounces would suddenly beco impossible for even a thousand pounds of weight to hold down anymore!
Moreover—it concerned only one insignificant Servant Disciple Departnt! Even if they purged the entire departnt, it wouldn’t affect the Heavenly Void Sect whatsoever!
At worst, they could simply replace its manager!
Violet Heaven Palace — Study Room
"Who gave you this, Bai Ling?"
Ye Qingxuan reclined lazily on a soft couch, her slender jade-like hand supporting her temple while her purple gauze dress draped down, revealing those long fair legs capable of driving countless male cultivators wild with desire!
Regarding the accusation letter submitted by Bai Ling, Ye Qingxuan wasn’t rushing to read through it but instead asked knowingly.
"Reporting to Master—it ca from Old Man Han at the entrance."
Bai Ling t Ye Qingxuan’s gaze directly without blinking, her expression sincere.
Ye Qingxuan lightly raised her eyelashes, her tone icy cold and devoid of any emotion. "From now on, do not bring everything anyone gives you! Especially sothing from a re Servant Disciple!"
"Yes, Master! Your disciple will rember!"
After reprimanding Bai Ling, Ye Qingxuan finally flicked a finger lightly, opening the accusation letter.
Originally thinking that perhaps because he was unable to handle the situation within the Servant Disciple Departnt himself, Han Lie sought her help instead...
She was proven wrong.
What he entrusted through Bai Ling wasn’t a plea for help but rather a formal accusation letter!
Within was a detailed description of all those shady, disgraceful deeds committed by current manager Jia Tong!
Although lacking sufficient evidence provided by him—since a formal complaint existed... according to sect regulations, the Law Enforcent Hall should detain Jia Tong and investigate accordingly!
"Hmph! Wasn’t this old thing seeking death wholeheartedly? Why bother trying to save himself now?"
Contempt filled her heart. If he truly wished to die, why not simply lie flat and do nothing? Why bother devising a thod of accusing the manager to save himself?
Indeed, n the world over spoke nothing but lies!
Regaining her composure, she handed back the letter, instructing, "Take this to the Law Enforcent Hall and order them to investigate thoroughly!"
"Yes, Master! Your disciple will go handle it imdiately!"
