"So, you've finally figured it out? Or is something else going on in Qingzhou again?"

  Wu Dao'an walked steadily ahead, neither too fast nor too slow.

  He had previously reminded his opponent that the path of cultivation was far more arduous than young people imagined, and a thousand years seemed long but was actually just a fleeting moment.

  For monks, life is always the most precious thing.

  It was somewhat unexpected for him that Shen Yi had come around much faster than he had imagined.

  "If it's about Qingzhou's matter, then there's no need to say anything, even if you're a disciple of the Wu Temple..."

  "Disciple by name." Shen Yi said softly.

  "I knew it!" Wu Dao An turned his head back with a scowl, this kid was really impossible to understand. For others, becoming a true disciple of the Wu Temple was a result of their ancestors' hard work and good fortune. But not only did he not climb up the ranks smoothly, he even had the audacity to speak out and remind him.

  It's really absurd to the extreme.

  "Even if you are a famous disciple of Wu Miao! We really can't spare any more energy."

  Wu Daoan was telling the truth. Although this group of martial artists had a higher realm than the Nine States General, they couldn't exert overwhelming pressure on the Demon King without condensing their Golden Body Law Appearance. Once they were stuck in a stalemate, it would instead make the Martial Temple's defense empty and hollow.

  If a Mohe Realm martial artist had nothing better to do, he wouldn't mind taking a look at Shen Yi's talent and asking one or two Grandmasters to help out.

  There is indeed no one available now.

  "Qingzhou is temporarily safe." Shen Yi shook his head and said.

  Wu Dao'an fell silent and gave him a glance, with a few more points of doubt in his heart.

  Nothing's wrong? If nothing's wrong, then how did Jiang Yuanhua end up in that miserable state.

  He also thought Shen Yi was sent to the imperial city for refuge.

  Two men stepped into a courtyard and before they could sit down, someone walked in hastily: "Lord Wu, Qīng State's Jiāng Yuánhùa presents the aforementioned official document, please take a look."

  Wu Dao An was slightly stunned and noticed a detail from the other's words.

  There is one position missing before Jiang Yuanhua's name.

  He took the document, but saw the person in front of him first bow to himself, then look at Shen Yi beside him and smile: "General Shen, nice to meet you."

  Shen Yi responded with a bow of his hands.

  "Huh?"

  Wu Dao'an casually flipped open the document and glanced at the young man with interest: "So you're promoted to General now."

  Even though he didn't think much of the Demon Vanquishing Department, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

  The last time he came, the other party was already the youngest Demon-Suppressing General Wu Daoan had ever seen. In just two or three months, he had become the youngest Nine States Commander-in-Chief.

  After reading the resume, Wu Dao'an's expression did not change, he just waved his hand to let the person from Zhenmo Si retreat: "Bring Jiang Yuanhua in, I'll see him later."

  Until only two people were left in the courtyard.

  The old man in the green robe sat down calmly on the bamboo chair, patted his clothes: "Yóu Lóng Tāo took over as the general, but he made an unnecessary move to let you temporarily take over for a while. If I'm not mistaken, it's because you ate something you shouldn't have."

  "You think I'm a fool, don't you?"

  Wu Dao'an raised his eyes and looked over, letting out a cold snort.

  Jiang Yuanhua was no match for the demon king, and both of them were severely injured in the battle. At this point, someone needed to step forward to finish things off.

  Obviously, Shen Yi's powerful talent can swallow the Golden Body aura without leaving a single thread, which is unprecedented in the ancient and modern times of Da Qian. If there is enough incense and willpower, breaking through the boundary is nothing unusual.

  After Jiang Yuanhua was seriously injured, he handed over the general's jade token to him without the permission of Wu Miao, and used this child's hand to kill Xiangyue who was seriously injured.

  Afraid of being blamed by Wu Miao, he then had this letter of statement in front of him.

  "In an emergency, we cannot be obstinate and unyielding."

  Wu Dao'an gestured for the young man to sit down.

  “……”

  Shen Yi's eyes showed a hint of admiration, and it was no wonder that he was the temple master who served the Golden Body. He was as wise as the old ancestor of the Wu Temple.

  The excuse prepared in advance is also useless at this moment.

  He sat down bluntly on the opposite side.

  "A joke! I'm a disciple of Wu Miao... a registered disciple. Does he still need me to be the General of Qingzhou?"

  Wu Dao'an raised an eyebrow, and indeed he had guessed correctly, for the other party was now speechless.

  He said lightly: "Since you're back, focus on practicing the Yīn Shén Fǎ. As for the title of eating incense, the Town Demon Division has a vacant deputy inspector position, you can take it for now."

  "What is a Patrol Envoy?" Shen Yi's expression remained unchanged.

  "He is the Deputy Inspector." Wu Dao'an finally found an opportunity to regain his composure, and smiled with satisfaction: "Above the Nine States General, there is one Inspector, two Deputy Inspectors, in charge of the Demon-Suppressing Department's headquarters."

  "Logically speaking, a patrol envoy should be someone from the group of mixed yuan martial artists who can take on the task, responsible for patrolling the nine states and helping to resolve demonic troubles in various places. You don't meet the conditions."

  Having received benefits, it is natural to make things clear, otherwise, judging from this young man's attitude, he will probably think it's a matter of course.

  The old man looked at him and said, "However, the inspector is not in Da Qian at this moment. Two deputies have unfortunately fallen, and their positions are still vacant until now. You just happen to be from the Town Demon Division, and you also killed the demon king. There's no need to take care of things, just hang a name tag and enjoy the incense and blessings, it's not a bad rule."

  "Of course, if you're bored and want to go sit in the yamen, that's up to you. Just don't expect to be of much help when facing those high-ranking officials seeking aid, and just save face."

  "I understand."

  Shen Yi listened quietly.

  Suddenly looked at the martial temple in the distance with a hint of emotion.

  It's been a long time since I've enjoyed such treatment, just like when I'm extremely hungry, the old man has filled the table with chicken, duck, fish and meat, and finally brings up wine and water for fear that I might choke.

  "Alright, follow me to see Jiang Yuanhua. After seeing him, you can also go and greet your fellow disciples."

  Wu Dao'an slowly stood up: "Although the name is called Wu Miao, in fact it is no different from Xianmen. Those are also your half-brothers and sisters. In the future, if you have any problems with your cultivation, if I am not around, you can also ask them for guidance."

  "Thanks for your trouble, Lord Wu." Shen Yi also stood up.

  "No need to address me as 'sir' anymore, if you think I'm worthy, just call me Wu Shixiong."

  Wu Dao'an's eyes had a few more gentle looks, and finally waited for this Tianjiao to come in, which was the good fortune of the Wu Temple.

  The two of them walked out together.

  “……”

  Jiang Yuanhua was led into a room with a dazed expression on his face.

  Then he saw the missing Shen Yi, and in front of him was an old man wearing a green robe, who turned out to be Wu Daoan, the temple's abbot.

  "I have met Lord Wu before."

  They were all Yin Spirit Cultivators, and even if they were old men or Upper Realm Martial Immortals, Jiang Yuandu knew that the other party could see him, so he didn't dare to be rude.

  After finishing the ceremony, he secretly winked at Shen Yi.

  Isn't he supposed to wait outside? How did it turn out that he was the first to see the people in the Wu Temple, and he's worried that the other person will spill the beans.

  After all, Shen Yi was indeed very powerful, but at first glance, he didn't seem to be good with words.

  "What's with the raised eyebrows and winking? You only know how to salute me, but when you see your superior, you become speechless?"

  Wu Dao'an glared at him.

  "Direct supervisor?"

  Jiang Yuanhua looked at Shen Yi in surprise and found that the other party had slightly nodded to himself, knowing that this was a reminder that things were already over.

  How did it get up there?

  Not to mention he hasn't even "given" out his achievements yet, even if he took all the credit, how could he possibly take on that position.

  Above the General, there is no other position, only the Inspector.

  Could it be that he had revealed the true strength of the Hunyuan Sect Master?!

  To know about Cheng's achievement is not only Shen Yi, but also Qiu Lan who is in Qingzhou. If this matter is exposed, it will inevitably bring a lot of trouble.

  Jiang Yuankai took a deep breath, suppressing the anxiety in his heart, and respectfully cupped his fists: "Qingzhou Jiang Yuankai has seen the Inspector General."
