It’s just that the Jade Pendant will be destroyed, and its storage function will disappear, making all the things inside fall out.
But, no matter what, it’s indeed much more useful than my Alchemy Furnace.
I, this "unofficial", still have to wait a few days before taking office. Before leaving, Lin Qingquan instructed to be assigned to my respective supervisor, and only then could I receive the task issued.
As for Lin Qingquan... the old man is quite high-level.
No matter what, going to Lin Qingquan’s place tonight, Chen Yan felt it was quite rewarding.
First, I managed to stabilize my mindset, the previous eagerness, and the reckless desire to trample on all rules have been slightly retracted.
But there must still be a lot of influence... It’s true that this world has a lot of "beatings", but as long as I avoid these beatings, can’t I still do as I please?
This mindset is indeed a bit drifting.
No, I must suppress it!

The next day, Chen Yan gathered his mood and drove to the Book Academy.
After all, I am still earning pocket money from Chu Keqing.
Previously, I was absent from work for many days. Chu Keqing was accommodating and never dared to urge to work, just letting idle around. But continuing like this is quite embarrassing.
Moreover, I earn pocket money to avoid the Heavenly Dao’s scrutiny. If I keep not working and just take the money, it might be classified as inco obtained through cultivation under the judgnt of the Heavenly Dao, wouldn’t it be troubleso?
Arriving at the Academy, with Chen Yan being absent these days, the Academy hadn’t arranged any instructional work for him. Upon reaching the office in charge of academic arrangents, the responsible instructor helplessly inford Chen Yan that currently, all the Zen ditation Classes at the Academy had no instructional vacancies...
Chen Yan wasn’t in a hurry, so he simply went to the reading room and hid there to read books.
In the span of a morning, flipping through a Taoist "Nanhua Scripture", it was initially just to pass the ti, but after reading for a while, it really drew in!
"... Virtuous thickness and firm trust do not reach people’s vitality; fa does not contest, yet it doesn’t reach people’s minds. And to coercively show the arts of benevolence and righteousness before others is to let them despise one’s beauty, calling them harrs of people. Those who harm people will surely be counter-hard by people. Isn’t it dangerous to harm people? Moreover, if one pleases the virtuous and despises the unworthy, how can they seek anything different...?"
Chen Yan sighed after reading to this point.
Lin Qingquan may not be very reliable, but what he said wasn’t wrong.
I indeed need to cultivate my heart!
External rules have already lost their restraint over , so the internal recognition must be strengthened.
After reading for a whole morning, the words in the Nanhua Scripture started to reconstruct so new self-awareness in Chen Yan’s fragnted ntal Realm.
So-called morality, in fact, is neither vulgar nor ridiculous.
Or to use another word, belief, faith.
The beliefs and faith that you are convinced of and willing to respect.
"Those who harm people, people will surely counter-harm them..." Chen Yan softly murmured, closed the book, then stretched lazily and lightly said: "Standing outside for so long, aren’t your legs numb?"
Outside the door, Chu Keqing had been standing beautifully for quite a while.
This beautiful woman, in a fitted white waist-long robe that the Academy principals wear, hugged her slender waist tightly, yet the robe was rather large, making her elegant figure sway gracefully under it.
Chu Keqing stood at the doorway, holding an exquisite food box in her hand. Upon hearing Chen Yan’s words, she smiled sweetly and said gently, "I’m watching you read outside and dare not disturb you, fearing it would disrupt a senior’s reading elegance."
Chen Yan chuckled, "What good food have you brought? Aren’t you afraid the dishes will cool down?"
"If it cools down, I’ll just have the kitchen make another one." Chu Keqing easily laughed, "A senior’s interest is the most important."
Chen Yan waved his hand, "Having read all morning, I’m truly a bit hungry, bring it over."
Chu Keqing humbly placed the food box on the table and opened it, revealing several exquisite dishes inside.
Chen Yan glanced over them and shook his head with a smile, "Your words are not sincere. Where are these dishes sothing the Academy’s kitchen can concoct? I’ve tasted the quality of their chefs, and they can at most make a few large pot dishes."
Saying this, Chen Yan picked up the chopsticks, took a piece from a "Plum Blossom Braised at", put it in his mouth, and sighed, "Tender and richly savory, just this authentic and delicate Jiangnan water town flavor, the Academy’s chefs just can’t achieve it."
He lifted his gaze to look at Chu Keqing, "So tell , where did you buy it? This taste is good, tell the restaurant na, I’ll visit another day."
Chu Keqing’s eyes revealed a hint of delight, "Do you like it, senior? Knowing you ca to the Academy, I rushed back to my residence and personally made it in my little ho kitchen."
Chen Yan’s chopsticks montarily froze.
This... does make it a bit less smooth to eat.
Seeing Chen Yan’s slower movents, Chu Keqing’s eyes showed slight disappointnt, but she still tried to cheer up and laugh, "It’s been a long ti since you ca, you visited my place yesterday but left just a car key and left, I was disappointed all night after returning."
"The car was lent to you, returning a borrowed item is expected." Chen Yan waved his hand.
"Indeed, there was also sothing important I wanted to tell you, senior. I was planning to visit you these days, and now that you ca, I might as well report it here."
Chu Keqing said as she gracefully took two steps closer, sat on the chair beside Chen Yan, picked up a small bowl, poured a bowl of soup, and handed it to Chen Yan, whispering, "Senior, Chuyi has already entered the path! He has gained sensitivity to Primordial Qi, and yesterday I already taught him the Cloud Sect’s Cultivation Technique, and starting yesterday, I have had him leave the Academy for secluded cultivation in the Cloud Sect’s training room."
Hearing this, Chen Yan indeed found it to be good news—visiting yesterday and not eting Wang Chuyi, I had already guessed that he was taken away by Chu Keqing, most likely due to a breakthrough in cultivation. As expected!
"Thank you very much for this matter." Chen Yan said solemnly.
Chu Keqing smiled softly and said slowly, "You have granted grace to my Cloud Sect, how could I take a senior’s word of thanks for that."
After a pause, Chu Keqing withdrew her smile, her deanor slightly solemn, "However, there are so words I must say to you, senior!"
