"Itâs over, Iâll live honestly from now on!"
After Chen Xuan went up to the third floor, Wang Man said quietly.
The others remained silent as well.
After a long pause, Niu Qiang, being the oldest, spoke slowly,
"Be careful, everyone!"
Then he waved at Wang Man, "Letâs go patrol the streets!"
Under the puzzled looks of the other three, the two of them left the Three Judicial Departments.
"Isnât it usually just one person patrolling the streets?"
....
"Whatâs the matter, Brother Niu?"
After they left the Three Judicial Departments, they found a tea house.
Wang Man held a teacup in hand, looking somewhat puzzled at Niu Qiang across from him.
"I want to become stronger!"
The sudden statement left Wang Man a bit bewildered.
But he quickly understood and asked, "Brother Niu, do you mean... the Master?"
"Brother Niu knows you have a special relationship with the Master, could you help speak for me? Iâm willing to do anything!"
Seeing Wang Man, who was once at the bottom, now already at the Nine Layers of Purity, just a step away from the Immortal Grade.
All thanks to the rewards from Chen Xuan.
Plus, with more and more people coming to the rMolan Mansion, the pressure is increasing.
Causing his mentality to change too.
In the past, he was easy-going, just got by, but now it doesnât work that way. The rMolan Mansion is also starting... to become chaotic.
Yesterday, his friend from the Three Judicial Departments told him that if the Southern King couldnât find people this time, the rMolan Mansion could be overturned.
Though he doesnât know how true these words are,
the implication was to prepare to leave rMolan Mansion.
But he canât.
He has many elders and juniors to take care of, over twenty people. At least in rMolan Mansion, they can survive, and as a Chief Constable of the Three Judicial Departments, the perks are decent.
But the resources... are still not enough.
So he wants to become stronger, ideally becoming a White Garment, at least a Green Garment.
"Brother Niu... you.....!"
Wang Man looked at him a bit troubled, after all, the pills Chen Xuan rewarded him with were thanks to some information.
But... Niu Qiang, being honest and simple, probably doesnât have anything that could interest Chen Xuan.
Moreover, even if he were to reach Immortal Grade under the current circumstances, it wouldnât be of much use.
"Is it not possible?"
Niu Qiangâs face showed disappointment, his voice filled with helplessness.
"Itâs not that I donât want to help you, Brother Niu, but you donât have what the Master needs, do you understand what I mean?"
Wang Man thought itâs better to give him the harsh truth now rather than later, to prevent any false hope.
Though itâs a bit cruel, this is reality.
"Then....."
Niu Qiang opened his mouth but couldnât say the second word.
After a long time!
"Sigh!"
He let out a long sigh and said self-mockingly, "I was thinking too simply."
Then he looked at Wang Man, "Come, have some tea!"
"Sure!"
Wang Man lifted his teacup, and the two drank it all at once.
At this moment, he also noticed a change in Niu Qiangâs expression, staring directly at him.
This made him feel a bit uneasy.
"Brother... Brother Niu, just say what you have in mind, donât look at your younger brother like that, itâs making me nervous."
"Then Iâll be direct!"
Niu Qiang, no longer worried, spoke openly, "Your brother has been good to you all these years, you know that."
"So your brother doesnât expect you to say good things for me, but any news you get, you have to tell me first!"
Wang Man relaxed instantly upon hearing this.
He thought it was something else, but... he spoke loudly, "Rest assured, Brother Niu, youâve been taking care of me all these years. If thereâs any news, I will surely inform you."
After all, heâs been at the Eastern Domain Three Judicial Departments for many years.
Honestly, if it wasnât for Niu Qiang taking care of him, he doesnât know how badly he wouldâve been bullied.
Heâs truly grateful to him.
So even if Niu Qiang hadnât mentioned this, he would have informed him about any big news.
Wang Man might not have much... but he understands two words: âgratitude!â
Just like before, which is how he got his current opportunities.
"Thank you!"
Niu Qiang patted his arm forcefully, "In the future, if thereâs anything, feel free to speak up!"
...
Within the Three Judicial Departments.
A man in a purple robe looked arrogantly at Zong Peng.
"My Lord wants to use the array of the fifth level in the Library Pavilion!"
Commanding him as if ordering a subordinate.
Zong Peng smiled.
He looked at him indifferently, "If you have the guts, you can break in directly and see if my department dares to suppress you!"
His words fell.
He provocatively raised his eyebrows at him.
Just a mere Marquis, where does the superiority come from?
Coming to the Three Judicial Departments and immediately demanding to use the array of the Library Pavilion, who gave him that face?
The people from the Imperial City, not many of them seem to have any brains.
Not only him, but those who came before were also equally arrogant, giving orders left and right as if the Three Judicial Departments belonged to them.
For this reason, Zong Peng had to show them what reality is and gave them a lesson.
After demonstrating his strength, they instantly became well-behaved.
Unexpectedly... another one came today.
However, this one is indeed not weak... but he holds a powerful treasure, thus not afraid.
Letâs see if he dares to break into the fifth level of the Library Pavilion!
"What did you say? Zong Peng... youâre looking for death!"
As the Marquis Taiyuan, Changsun Tian didnât expect a mere Chief of the Three Judicial Departments to speak to him like this.
His face suddenly turned icy.
This time, Zong Pengâs expression also turned gloomy. He paid no heed to his marquis status, mocking, "If you have the guts, then break in! If you donât, get out of the Three Judicial Departments!"
