Chapter 290: Disgusting!
Qin Ke's performance was excellent.
He's always talking about Zongzheng, acting precisely like a lapdog.
Even though some people were frowning below, their eyes showing disdain, Qin Ke remained passionate.
After a while.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. As for the areas you'll be stationed in, you'll be notified later!"
Qin Ke cupped his hands, regardless of how these people's expressions were, he maintained his smile.
"Thank you! Chief Qin, please take care of us in the future!"
Out of ten people in white, only Hu Tong spoke.
The others merely nodded slightly.
"It's easy to say, easy to say! We're all family here."
Qin Ke smiled, not minding the others' attitudes. They're all Immortal-Grade Martial Artists, in the Late Stage, not paying attention to someone like him in the Initial Stage was reasonable.
If he wasn't one of Zongzheng's people, they probably wouldn't even bother with him.
And just as Qin Ke was about to leave.
Liu Qing spoke up, "Chief Qin, when can we enter the Library Pavilion?"
Qin Ke's steps abruptly halted, he turned around and looked at him.
He looked like a person, alright!
But why did his brain seem so undeveloped?
Just joined the Three Judicial Departments and already wants to enter the Library Pavilion?
Is his face too big, or is he ignorant?
But as soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gaze fell on Qin Ke, including Chen Xuan.
However, he was just going with the flow, putting on an act.
"You can enter after the examination period is over!"
But this answer was obviously unsatisfactory to Liu Qing, which could be seen from his tightly furrowed brows.
Not only him, but others were also somewhat disappointed.
"Three years... That's too long!"
"Too long?"
Qin Ke countered, his voice cooling down.
"Of course, if any of you achieve outstanding accomplishments and pass the examination period ahead of schedule, won't that allow an earlier entry into the Library Pavilion?"
"With Chief Liu's strength, I don't think achieving great deeds should be a problem, right?"
As he spoke, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
Instantly, Liu Qing's face turned ugly.
This was a taunt!
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, he left, flicking his sleeve.
Qin Ke looked entirely indifferent, but at that moment Hu Tong spoke up, "Chief Qin, he's just that kind of person. Although his family has declined, his pride remains high, so don't get angry with him!"
"Heh!"
Qin Ke chuckled lightly, "It's normal, but after joining the Three Judicial Departments, one must tone it down, otherwise, one might suffer unnecessary losses!"
After saying this, he glanced around before continuing, "That's all I have to say, everyone take care!"
Then he left the main hall.
"Alas!"
Hu Tong sighed and deliberately said, "Really, not sure what he's showing off for, still thinking he's a young master of some family!"
"Not an ounce of tact!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Before leaving, he didn't forget to grin at Chen Xuan.
"Disperse!"
An old man with a somewhat sinister voice slowly spoke, unexpectedly, several people in white showed great respect to him, slightly bowing their heads.
Moreover, when passing by Chen Xuan, they glanced at him without leaving a trace.
"What is this person... looking at me for?"
Chen Xuan felt somewhat perplexed.
As for strength... he's between Immortal Grade and Profound Realm. Apart from himself, he should be the strongest here.
But... not excessively strong.
At most, he could manage three-on-one at best.
Shouldn't be able to see through anything, right?
Yet, the look in those few people's eyes... wasn't just respect... there was something else, a sensation he couldn't quite describe.
"Alright everyone, let's go!"
With nothing further here, Chen Xuan cupped his hands and left the main hall following the old man.
...
Three days later!
Chen Xuan was coincidentally assigned to the Eastern Domain.
Inside the study.
"Master, this person is named Tian Bo. In rMolan Mansion, he's considered an old figure, his strength is just a step away from the Profound Realm, but..."
Qin Ke paused when he spoke to this point.
And his expression became unusual.
"But what...?"
Chen Xuan looked at him, puzzled.
"Prefers men!"
Qin Ke slowly uttered these three words, instantly, Chen Xuan felt a slight numbness across his entire body.
The hair on his arms even stood on end.
"Really?"
"Really!"
Qin Ke nodded heavily.
He was deeply impressed by Tian Bo, beyond expression.
Moreover, Qin Ke strongly suspected his motives for joining the Three Judicial Departments.
He was a notable figure in this rMolan Mansion, lacking in cultivation techniques?
Certainly not!
And it's said he also has substantial connections behind him, though not in this rMolan Mansion.
So when he passed through the array, it was completely without issue.
"So about those few in white...?"
Though he had already guessed, he still forced himself to ask, enduring the feeling of disgust within.
"Relations... are pretty good!"
Those few words were truly difficult to speak, after much consideration, he could only describe it as 'pretty good'.
"Moreover... Master, have you noticed any characteristics about those few in white?"
"Characteristics?"
Chen Xuan's eyebrows slightly raised; he was quite puzzled!
"Those white-clothed people's faces are quite tender! Just like yours..."
By the time Qin Ke finished speaking, his voice had become almost inaudible, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Chen Xuan.
"What?!"
Chen Xuan was instantly stunned like a wooden chicken.
"Damn!"
The next moment, he burst out in profanity.
Dammit!
No wonder they looked at him like that when passing by; turns out this old bastard was interested in him.
"Ugh..."
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel nauseous.
He then glared fiercely at Qin Ke and cursed, "You chose a good identity!"
"I didn't know it would turn out like this!"
Qin Ke looked aggrieved, how could he have predicted such a thing, but he quickly added, "But rest assured, master, Tian Bo's station is in the Western Domain, far from here, so we shouldn't run into him!"
After learning about it, he quickly made remedial changes.
But he never dared to speak up!
If Chen Xuan hadn't brought it up today, he would've never confessed this matter even if threatened.
"Hmph!"
Chen Xuan snorted coldly, but his expression slightly improved.
"Remember this, don't let him have any interaction with me!"
At this point, there was no other choice.
He knew in his heart that Qin Ke wasn't intentional, but it was truly disgusting.
A dignified Late-Stage Immortal-Grade expert having such a fetish, and seemingly an aggressive type at that.
Dammit...!
His rear instantly tightened!
"But this person's identity is quite secretive; even the background behind him can't be traced by the Three Judicial Departments!"
"They even... got warned!"
Upon discovering such matters, Qin Ke inevitably wanted to investigate, but ultimately someone intervened and stopped him.
Later, he reported this matter to Zongzheng.
His expression changed immediately.
He then warned him not to investigate further.
It clearly showed that even Zongzheng feared the background behind Tian Bo!
Mind you... he doesn't even fear the Crane King.
As for Tian Bo... can't even imagine.
"This mysterious, huh!"
After listening, Chen Xuan's expression grew solemn.
"Yeah!"
Qin Ke nodded slightly.
"This little Molan Mansion is truly... full of mixed dragons and fish!"
Chen Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
...
The next day!
Chen Xuan arrived at the Eastern Domain Three Judicial Departments.
Aside from the headquarters of the Three Judicial Departments, there were nearly twenty other branches throughout the Molan Mansion city.
From this, one could see the size of Molan Mansion.
Previously, it was because Zongzheng had cleared out those white-clothed and gold-clothed experts, resulting in a severe shortage of experts within the Three Judicial Departments.
Without experts stationed, the matters in the city increased greatly.
This is one of the reasons Zongzheng was so eager to recruit a batch of newcomers to the Three Judicial Departments.
As a branch of the Eastern Domain Three Judicial Departments, it was merely a three-story pavilion, located in the central section of a major street in the Eastern Domain.
"Eastern Domain Three Judicial Departments!"
These words were written on a black plaque.
"Hehe!"
Chen Xuan chuckled, why does it feel like returning to the Divine Capture Bureau at Youlan Mansion.
Then, he slowly walked inside.
"Hey... do you guys think that white-clothed one would come to us?"
In the lobby on the first floor of the pavilion, four in black cloaks and one in cyan robes sat there, chatting leisurely.
The one who spoke was a black-cloaked man named Wang Man, who had just entered the first grade not long ago.
Also the weakest among them here.
"Who knows? But it's better this way; the previous one really wasn't anything good, just knowing how to oppress us, enjoying himself!"
Across from him, fellow black-clothed Chief Constable Yin Ning seemed quite displeased.
Regarding what he said, the five present almost simultaneously nodded their heads.
It showed how much they resented that previous white-clothed man at the Eastern Domain Three Judicial Departments.
But alas, that person was too strong, even if they were dissatisfied, they dared not display it.
Upon knowing that he was kicked out of the Three Judicial Departments by Zongzheng, the five of them went to the brothel and celebrated that very night.
"Brother Yuan, you're the strongest here, do you have any news?"
Yuan Dao Yi was an expert of the Eight Layers of Purity, and he was confident that he would reach Immortal Grade within five years, when he could apply to become white-clothed.
Then.... he could station at the branch.
"Nope!"
He shook his head slowly, but seeing the others seemed somewhat disbelieving.
He had to explain again, "I really don't know, you guys should know me by now, if I had the slightest bit of information, I could never hold back this long!"
"That's true!"
Wang Man nodded fervently, "Brother Yuan's mouth is too big, can't hold anything back; if there was news, he'd tell us overnight."
"Looking for a beating!"
Yuan Dao Yi shouted loudly, reaching out a hand, ready to strike down.
"No, Brother Yuan, if you hit me with that palm, I would..... cough... be dead!"
Wang Man tilted his head, lying back on the chair, rolling his eyes... pretending to be dead!
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around!"
Niu Qiang!
Seven Layers of Purity, the oldest among them, his words carried the most weight.
"Hehe!"
Seeing this, Yuan Dao Yi and Wang Man stopped joking around.
"Today we'll know who that white-clothed one is, no need to guess; just hope he's better than the previous one, then thank heaven and earth!"
