Chapter 1456 - 615: Space-Time Blade

"Morning."

Next morning.

Jiu entered the office after finishing confinement early and greeted everyone.

"Morning!"

The crowd responded in unison.

Jiu was surprised to see everyone squeezing out smiles and enthusiastically greeting her.

Little Hua wasn’t there.

Wondering where she’d gone.

"Jiu, come with me."

The boss, Qinglang, beckoned warmly.

Jiu followed him through the common area and into the private office inside.

The department head, Xing Can, was already waiting there.

"Yesterday’s matter has been clarified, and it’s not related to you."

After a brief chat, Xing Can said with a smile.

His attitude was very cordial, even with a subtle hint of flattery.

"Yeah, we all think you’re an excellent employee."

Qinglang added.

Jiu was slightly surprised but kept a straight face, saying:

"I just did my job."

"I heard you had a run-in with a Saint yesterday?" Xing Can asked casually.

So that’s what it was!

Jiu suddenly realized.

After the encounter with the Saint yesterday, the Saint was in a hurry to do something and casually said, "It’s not her—this Fist Technique is already close to touching the edge of the Laws."

Touching the Laws.

It’s the first step to becoming a Saint.

In other words, the Saint acknowledged that her skill had reached a level close to the path of a Saint.

This surpassed countless Professionals within the Myriad Realms.

"Yeah, there was an encounter, but the Saint was just probing, just made contact and then left."

Jiu said honestly.

Xing Can and Qinglang both smiled, leaning back slightly and quickly exchanged a glance.

"Several departments have inquiries about you."

"They all want to transfer you over."

"We’re also reluctant to let you go, so we’re asking your intentions in advance."

"What if I want to change departments?" Jiu asked curiously.

"Of course, we’d be reluctant to lose such a capable and outstanding newcomer like you," Xing Can said sincerely.

"But if you really find a better option, we can only sincerely wish you well, hoping we can still be friends and keep in touch." Qinglang said too.

"..." Jiu.

Speaking of which, you two aren’t human, right?

How come you speak so skillfully and smoothly, just like seasoned veterans in the human workplace?

The workplace indeed hones people.

It seems non-humans are polished just as well.

"I don’t really care as long as there’s reasonable pay, stability, and not much overtime, I don’t plan to change departments."

Jiu stated her position.

Work, still needs to continue.

—Before becoming a Saint, maintaining this clean identity is extremely necessary.

Rather than changing to a new environment, getting reacquainted, and finding a new position, it’s better to stay here.

"Alright, don’t worry, we’ll definitely satisfy those requirements."

Qinglang replied.

"Then I’ll decline all other departmental offers for you—I promise your work in the Ether Affairs Department will be very comfortable," Xing Can immediately followed up.

"Then I’ll have to trouble you two leaders." Jiu said with a smile.

"I’ll take you to your desk and talk a bit about today’s work." Qinglang said as he stood up.

"Alright." Jiu stood up as well.

Xing Can had already left in advance, waving to Jiu: "Rest assured with your work, I’ll handle the external matters."

Having finished speaking, he quickly left.

—The purpose of this conversation was very clear, to retain Jiu.

The goal was achieved.

Now he needs to refuse other departments.

Jiu followed Qinglang back to her workstation.

She saw a work list placed on her desk.

"Oversee C, D-level warehouses, arrange personnel to patrol warehouses."

Just one sentence.

Jiu couldn’t help but chuckle.

After the warehouse incident, the Saints will surely check and set up the warehouse fully to ensure everything is normal.

In everyone’s opinion.

For a long time in the future, the warehouse shouldn’t have any issues.

Moreover, her job is to assign tasks to others.

Those who assign tasks are the most relaxed.

The credit is hers, the blame can be shifted to subordinates.

It’s a leadership-level task!

"Thank you for the support from you and the boss."

Jiu expressed her gratitude.

Qinglang, seeing her satisfied, relaxed and took out a card, saying:

"This was already your position—Right, here’s your official employee card, all permissions are activated, and a salary advance has been made."

Jiu took the card, casually asking: "Why haven’t I seen Little Hua?"

Qinglang paused, saying: "I’m not sure either, seems like she’s being questioned by senior management, not sure what’s going on."

"—Rest assured in your work, reach out anytime if you need me."

"Alright, thank you, boss." Jiu responded.

Qinglang nodded to Jiu and then left.

Jiu sat at her desk lost in thought.

Perhaps the death of that assassin yesterday was related to Little Hua.

The whole affair was also connected to a Saint.

—She only had the potential to become a Saint, while Little Hua had a Saint behind her.

So Qinglang didn’t want to say much more.

Completely understandable.

Jiu put away the card, got up, and left the office, going straight to the teleportation room at the end of the hallway.

"To D-level warehouse."

She waved the card in her hand.

The staff responsible for teleportation immediately activated the Teleportation Array, set the level, and started activating the Teleportation Technique.

A flash.

Jiu arrived at the entrance of the D-level warehouse.

The professional guarding the door was well-informed, already knowing she was the new person in charge.

"Please come in! Let me know if you need anything."

Jiu looked at him, recognizing him as the professional guarding the door yesterday.

"How come it’s still you?"

"A little while until my shift ends."

"Alright, I have something to ask you."

"Please go ahead."

"Is touching the edge of the Laws a difficult thing?" Jiu asked curiously.

"Perhaps you’re from the world of the Split Bee Clan, it’s relatively isolated, so you might not know—" he stopped just in time, carefully observing her expression.
