Chapter 723 Guests (1)
In the past, after his various failed schemes, the Order would usually send some unassuming person at the most inopportune of times to deliver his sentencing which made him forever wary of people he did not know, wearing a polite demeanor.
"What could it be? I haven't done anything the past few months. Is it because of the ingredients I fleeced from them when Shi Hai and I were composing the list for the part? No matter how stingy they are, they wouldn't take me to account for that, would they? They said I could use and ask for anything while I was there, and the ingredients were not even too outlandish. " Yang Qing warily thought as he felt his heart race when he saw Shen Zemin about to open his mouth.
"I am from the reception hall and the reason why I and senior Pan Liu were looking for you is that there were guests who had been looking for you for the past few days, however, we were told you had left the branch for an assignment, and were only just appraised of your arrival.." Shen Zemin courteously said.
"Guests?" asked Yang Qing with a slightly raised brow wondering who they were.
"Yes, one of them is a rogue cultivator named Wen Yingjie. He was initially looking for Chief Inquisitor Yi Jie, but when he was informed that?Yi Jie was in seclusion, he opted to wait for you.."
"Wen Yingjie, huh.." Yang Qing muttered as he held his chin with relief that he wasn't being reprimanded.
"Seems like he was successful with the assimilation and in good timing too. The four-month time limit of the soul-binding cultivation art Yi Jie lent to him for the assimilation process should be just about up.." muttered Yang Qing.
Administrator Shen Lemin looked towards the guard with silver robes and the emblem of a gold eagle on his robe named Pan Liu. He was a gold eagle guard just like Yen Xu, just that, unlike Yen Xu who was vastly stronger than Yang Qing, he was slightly weaker being in the first stage of the palace realm.
From the silver robes, he was an entrance guard. The 'silver robes' so they liked to call them, were situated in entrances and hallways where outsiders and the staff of the Order mingled, such as the entrance gates, the administration halls such as the external logistics hall where the Order issued commissions and gave payments for the completion of said commissions.
They even roamed around the pathways around the different buildings from the black tower, to the various inns, restaurants, and other facilities within the compound of the Order. While their primary job was to provide security, mostly they were there to provide assistance and guidance to those in need. They were considered administrators and usually worked closely with the reception hall.
After nodding toward Shen Lemin, Pan Liu spoke up,
"The other is an old couple by the name of Wang Siyi and Wang Huiyin. They are both late-stage core formation experts, who reside in the Red Maple Empire, specifically, the Purple City where they operated a restaurant together.
They said they knew you, Judge Yang Qing, and that you had told them to look for you when they came.."
"Where are they?" asked Yang Qing.
"I had them settled at the Gentle Stream Courtyard..." said Pan Liu
"They also asked for the whereabouts of Zou Yi and Zou Liqin.." he added after a momentary pause.
