Chapter 98: Ningjiang City’s Biggest Gate Is Right Here
His martial arts were invincible, but Li Ye had not broken through the Three Realms.
There was no need to ask anyone about this; after Li Ye cultivated his martial arts, he understood what was going on.
It was still that same phrase: his martial arts had not reached great completion.
Break through the passes, continue tempering, cultivate the martial arts to the peak, until the martial arts of the three passes all reach great completion, then he can enter the Three Realms and reach Human Origin Status.
When Li Ye previously broke through the Second Realm, the Twelve Golden Palace Dragon Tiger Gate had actually already reached great completion at the peak, and could break through Human Origin at any time, including now.
But to break through Heavenly Origin, this new fused [Six Passes World-Suppressing Dragon Tiger Evil] had not yet reached great completion.
To enter Heavenly Origin with the Six Passes, with the martial arts at great completion, there was still some distance to go.
However, with his current martial arts, in the Second Realm he was indeed unrivaled under heaven, and the Three Realms were not impossible to challenge again; if he encountered a battle scenario like against Pan Zhengyang and Ren Changtian again, he absolutely would not be unable to even join the battle like before.
“Ring ring ring——”
The mobile phone ringtone specially placed in the courtyard house rang; Li Ye reached out and pulled, and the mobile phone flew over into his hand.
The caller was Huang Qingyi.
“Hello.”
As he answered the mobile phone, Huang Qingyi’s voice sounded.
“Director Li, it’s been two days, finally got through. Did you enter the Dragon Palace?”
Two days?
Time flies without notice in cave cultivation; he thought it was just an instant, but it turned out two days had passed.
“I went for martial arts training. What’s up?”
“As I mentioned last time, the new people joining the bureau are already waiting. You need to show up; Section Chief Sun is already there accompanying them.”
“I thought people would come next year.”
Li Ye chuckled. “How many?”
The Disinfection Bureau had no one, so they definitely needed to recruit; Old Man Wang had promised him before, but it was almost the end of November, nearly December, and people were only coming now.
“Twenty.”
“…”
Li Ye was silent for a moment, then sighed slightly. “I’ll come over. Arrange some food for me; I’m hungry.”
He hung up the phone and looked at the mobile phone, discovering many missed calls.
Half were from his parents, half from the school.
Li Ye called his parents first and made up an excuse to brush it off.
After the Ren Family incident, his parents had toured for a week and then returned; they hadn’t resigned from work, equivalent to taking a long vacation, and continued working after coming back.
Li Ye had hinted around, asking if they could switch to easier jobs, but they were used to it and felt it was fine, so Li Ye let them be.
The ones from the school were from Teacher Gu.
As the call connected, Teacher Gu’s voice came through. “Li Ye, you not answering the phone made the teacher panic. If you hadn’t come by a while ago, I’d have thought something happened and you didn’t want our school anymore.”
“Am I that kind of person? Don’t worry, the rewards the school overdrafts for a year aren’t taken for nothing.”
“As long as you don’t transfer schools to join the martial arts competition, you can do whatever. Come to school on December 1st; that’s the day of the City Martial Arts Competition.” Teacher Gu’s voice also became relaxed.
After hanging up, Li Ye shook his head with a smile.
The martial arts competition was for Dragon Gate Realm students to play; for someone like him who was cheating, if not for taking the school’s year of rewards, he really wouldn’t have much interest.
Li Ye went into the house to change into his uniform, got on the motorcycle, and headed straight to the Disinfection Bureau.
And in the Disinfection Bureau hall, a group of people were already waiting there.
This group was exactly twenty people; half of them were whispering to each other, occasionally glancing at the smiling Sun Shun accompanying them on the side.
The other half seemed more immature, with some greenness still in their eyes.
“Section Chief Sun.”
Two people wearing uniforms similar to the Captain’s style gathered next to Sun Shun; the slightly older one among them smiled and said:
“We just transferred over; you should be the most familiar with Ningjiang City. Won’t you take us to get acquainted?”
“Yeah.”
The slightly younger one also smiled. “I heard the biggest family in Ningjiang City is surnamed Ren. We should pay a visit to the local tyrant; it’ll make work easier later.”
The two were exactly the Deputy Bureau Chiefs transferred this time, both martial artists who had broken through one pass.
By convention, when taking up a post in a new place, one must pay respects to the local tyrant.
Although Ningjiang City’s Ren Family hadn’t reached the threshold of Noble Families, it was absolutely a local tiger.
“Oh?”
Sun Shun was somewhat surprised and chuckled. “You two investigated thoroughly before coming?”
“Of course; how could we not investigate clearly?”
The younger one had a bit of self-mockery in his tone. “Otherwise, if we fail to catch demonic creatures and get taken out as demonic creatures instead, we still need to know which way the door opens.”
The older one sighed. “Yeah, Section Chief Sun, to be honest, we were both demoted over. We can’t make the same mistake twice.”
Hearing this, Sun Shun’s smile grew even wider.
He knew these two people’s information; after all, they were transferred to their bureau, and the information was in his hands. Plus, Director Pan had given him the message.
The people transferred this time weren’t from Jianghuai Province; Jianghuai Province didn’t have that many people to transfer, and every city bureau was short-staffed, impossible to spare anyone.
Of the twenty people, half were like Huang Qingyi: just graduated and passed the Disinfection Bureau exam, then transferred over, young, energetic, and idealistic.
The other half were drawn from various provincial levels, or exiled over, or had offended someone and proactively transferred upon finding a new opportunity.
Ningjiang City was a third-tier small city; for people to be exiled here, their previous places must have been more prosperous than this.
For example, these two Deputy Directors: the older one was Fu Cang, forty years old, previously Deputy Bureau Chief of a deputy provincial city’s Disinfection Bureau in Yuzhang Province, with definitely better treatment than a third-tier city.
But this man, a while ago, because he saved a little girl bullied by a Noble Family scion, nearly couldn’t survive and was about to resign, then got exiled here.
The other was Bian Feng, thirty-three years old, Deputy Director of a third-tier city in neighboring Yuzhang Province; he was even unluckier, as the demonic creature capture site was a hidden industry of some big shot’s family, and that big shot’s playboy son was entertaining there. Bian Feng made a big scene, making the playboy lose face, so he got thrown over.
The remaining disinfection officers more or less had similar factors.
But for Sun Shun, this was good.
Being able to do this meant their spirit hadn’t been broken yet.
As for entanglements of interests, he wasn’t a three-year-old; there were no places without interest entanglements. As long as they could fulfill the Disinfection Bureau’s duties, it was fine.
At least these people probably wouldn’t submit resignation letters to avoid it when the Ren Family and Disinfection Bureau fell out.
“Then your information is a bit outdated. Our biggest gate now…”
“Section Chief Sun, Section Chief Sun!”
Before he finished speaking, Huang Qingyi hurriedly rushed in and reached Sun Shun’s side, saying: “Director Li is coming; he said he’s hungry.”
“I’ll have the canteen prepare right away.”
Sun Shun quickly made a call, then extended his hand to the two Deputy Bureau Chiefs, pointing at the Disinfection Bureau’s turf, and smiled: “Ningjiang City’s biggest gate is right here with us now.”
