Chapter 315: Chapter 280: Two Divine Skills_2

It’s no wonder Li Cheng encountered such anomalies upon his arrival. No wonder he would say that the conditions in the Divine Realm are uniquely outstanding, perhaps in his view all residents of the Divine Realm are anomalies?

Well, never mind him, letting him misunderstand is quite good actually, at least he won’t become arrogant and complacent.

Thinking this, Kong Lianqing cleared her throat lightly and said, “It’s good that you know this, but don’t let the chief down.”

Li Cheng nodded, “The chief doesn’t deal with things, right? I think he must be the type who delegates responsibility, the real manager must be the deputy chief.”

Uh?

Kong Lianqing was stunned for a moment, then coughed lightly and said, “An insightful eye!”

“Miss Kong flatters me, it’s mainly because I see the chief forcibly exerting authority, but the aura of the higher-ups is far less than that of the deputy chief, so I infer he doesn’t like managing affairs, leaving all tasks of the Demon-suppressing Department to the deputy chief.”

“The nature of the chief is indeed akin to that of someone from my own rank!”

The words of Li Cheng took Kong Lianqing by surprise again, causing her to nod incessantly, “You’re right! That deputy chief handles too much, interferes too broadly, hmph!”

“Hmm? Within his jurisdiction, he should give his all. Miss Kong’s dislike for the deputy chief instead implies that the chief has good judgment, the power is given to the right person.” Li Cheng remarked.

Kong Lianqing was at a loss for words. Who gave power to whom?

Below the Demon Suppression Bell, Xiao Changting and Kong Linfeng wore astonished expressions. Clearly, they had been secretly listening!

Kong Linfeng cleared his throat, “This little guy has an insightful eye! Changting, you, as the hands-off manager, should start taking action!”

Xiao Changting’s mouth twitched, “If that kid could see your aura as a higher-up, how come he didn’t guess that you are the current emperor? Don’t you think you also have a problem?”

Kong Linfeng laughed, “What problem could I have? It’s because he has preconceived ideas. Anyway, from now on, I want the position of deputy chief, haha!”

Xiao Changting did not say much; after all, the current emperor holds the title of deputy chief of the Demon-suppressing Department – that’s fine, as everything is up to him, even if someone demanded the position of chief, he would have to accept it.

“Giving him the golden token, isn’t that too early? ‘Seeing the token as seeing the emperor’, the day he shows the golden token, he will certainly recognize your identity,” Xiao Changting said.

Kong Linfeng shook his head, “The thirteen bell tolls must have already alarmed the founder of the Demon-suppressing Department, so giving him the golden token is appropriate, and even that is not enough.”

“As for knowing my identity, sooner or later he will find out, what does it matter?”

Xiao Changting sighed inwardly, “I still think the golden token has too much authority. What if he finds out the origins of the golden token and acts recklessly?”

Kong Linfeng’s smile grew wider, “Changting, you’re thinking too small!”

Xiao Changting was speechless, “Alright, I understand!”

He truly understood, with Kong Linfeng’s character, facing a super genius, he can fully tolerate their causing trouble. After all, the Divine Dynasty will have it covered.

For someone like Li Cheng who could cause the Demon Suppression Bell to toll thirteen times—an absolute anomaly in history—receiving the golden token meant the Divine Dynasty would support him in anything, even murder and arson!

Bang!

The Demon Suppression Bell rang once more, but outside nobody could hear it, only the two of them knew.

In the Affairs Hall of the Demon-suppressing Department, Li Cheng had already obtained his Identity Token, but compared to Kong Lianqing’s, it looked a bit different.

The token was pitch-black all over, emitting a faint luminescence. Upon closer inspection, one could see numerous Divine Patterns densely covering its interior. The word ‘Demon Suppressing’ was inscribed powerfully on the front, and below it was also engraved a star.

“Yours has two stars,” Li Cheng said.

Kong Lianqing’s face filled with confusion as her gaze shifted towards the counter, “Are you sure there’s been no mistake? He should be a novice Demon-suppressing Envoy; how did he receive a one-star Demon-suppressing Envoy Token?”

Oh? Li Cheng understood that Demon-suppressing Envoys have different star levels.

From what Kong Lianqing meant, novice Demon-suppressing Envoys, have no stars.

Behind the counter, the old man stroked his chin beard and laughed, “The chief personally sent me a message, to waive the novice period and directly issue a one-star Demon Suppression Order.”

Kong Lianqing nodded with comprehension, “That’s right!”

Let alone directly issuing a one-star Demon Suppression Order, even if it were nine stars, she would have no objections, after all, Li Cheng made the Demon Suppression Bell toll thirteen times, something unique in history.

Of course, except for the founder.

However, to issue a nine-star Demon Suppression Order, the Kongqian Heaven Dynasty simply didn’t have the authority; it couldn’t even handle a seven-star or eight-star, that would require a higher level Demon-suppressing Department.

“Congratulations, Demon-suppressing Envoy! This is the Demon-suppressing Envoy handbook. Please make sure you read it in detail!” The elder passed another Jade Slip.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Li Cheng immediately understood. Demon-suppressing Envoys range from one-star to nine-star, with higher-level envoys able to command those of lower ranks and hold more privileges.

To become a Demon-suppressing Envoy, one starts as a novice and can only be promoted to a one-star Envoy after completing a certain number of tasks.

Skipping the novice phase saved him a great deal of trouble.

And now as a one-star Demon-suppressing Envoy, with the Demon Suppression Order, he could freely access many important areas in the Divine Dynasty, such as the Kongqian Library, and enjoy many conveniences in the imperial city.

“The deputy chief gave me that Token, its functions overlap with the Demon Suppression Order. Should I return it to him?” Li Cheng murmured.

Kong Lianqing shook her head, “Don’t return it, but try not to use it if you can. Even I don’t have that Token.”

Li Cheng nodded, then said with a smile, “You seem really annoyed by him. Do you have a grievance with him? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have denied you such a token.”

Kong Lianqing opened her mouth but was unable to say anything.

That is the golden Token, the only one under heaven…

“In any case, try not to use it if you can, relying on the Demon Suppression Order should be enough. Normally, you should hang the Demon Suppression Order on your waist,” Kong Lianqing advised.

Li Cheng also thought the same; after all, hanging two tokens on his waist would be too showy.
