There are less than 3 minutes left before the metaphysical conference begins.
The Moon and Stars are in a region that no surveillance camera can detect.
Northeast corner.
It is a rest area belonging to the family.
Qu Jian'er hadn't arrived yet.
Da Ji stomped his feet on the spot in a hurry.
Xinuo frowned: "Uncle Da, what's wrong? I can handle leg cramps... Ouch, why did you hit my head?"
He covered his head.
He looked defiant.
Xi Ling crossed her arms, shook her head with a bitter expression, and didn't want to pay attention to her foolish cousin.
Looking at the Xuanmen Assembly without Qu Jian'er, You Da felt like he was drinking unsweetened coffee—unspeakably bitter.
Meanwhile, the people around them were quite relaxed. Among them were many candidates who had taken the exam, and they began to discuss the results after the exam.
"The test results are out. What score did you get?"
"Me? I don't even have 500 points. Let alone the General Administration, it's a bit difficult to even get into a branch office."
"The General Administration is just so-so. The candidates from the Yuexing branch are always better than those from the General Administration."
"Have you heard? A dark horse has emerged this year, the one whose name is blurred out for first place."
"Why are you making such a fuss? Is the Spirit Special Bureau afraid that this year's number one will come from Moon Star again? Is the headquarters starting to feel ashamed?"
"Who knew... Look, look! The people from the Lingte Bureau are here. Hmm, is the leader that young?"
In order to mislead ordinary people, the Lingte Bureau always wears the uniform of a foot massage parlor when they go out on official business.
But they have their own set of uniforms.
The neat, green uniform of the Kuomintang military intelligence officers featured a curved sword encircled by two green willow branches around the chest.
This is an outfit worn for handling official business.
If you remove the stand-up collar cloak with the imperial knight insignia, you'll be wearing a smart combat outfit.
The leader was bathed in the spotlight.
His eyes were as black as charcoal burned to its limit, without a trace of excess heat.
But it was accompanied by a half-smile.
An indescribable chill ran down my spine.
Then I saw it.
She took off the hat with the star on it.
He shook hands familiarly with the heads of each family.
Qu Jian'er seemed like a leader on an inspection tour of the countryside, his smile so sincere that no one could find fault with him: "I'm late, I'm late, please forgive me."
Even though Qu Jian'er's face is very distinctive, and even though she is a public figure, most of the people present are stubborn old-fashioned people who firmly believe in their own ideas.
They rarely pay attention to StarNet.
Not to mention idol worship.
Therefore, he did not know Qu Jian'er.
Before everyone could get confused, they began to guess who Qu Jian'er was.
Youda ran up to Qu Jian'er and said, "It's not late, it's not late. I thought you weren't coming."
He was so excited that he completely forgot that Qu Jian'er's uniform was from the Lingte Bureau.
When he realized what was happening...
I immediately understood why Qu Jian'er said she came with another group of people; the Master of Emotions wasn't an eccentric.
You Xinuo and You Xiling were a step too slow, and thus missed the opportunity to talk to Qu Jian'er.
They were all shocked.
Are there any family members who know Qu Jian'er?
Then I heard it.
Pang, who was standing next to Qu Jian'er, said, "Old You, I didn't expect you to know our deputy director. Let me introduce you to the others. This is our new deputy director, Qu Jian'er."
A single sentence is like putting cold water into a hot oil pan.
This immediately sparked a boiling uproar.
Those present could no longer remain seated.
The candidates who knew Qu Jian'er looked on with longing.
They were incredibly excited. What could be more shocking than the news that their elder brother had become a deputy director?
A cheer erupted, and they were as happy as if they were the ones who had become deputy directors.
Those who didn't understand what was going on looked completely bewildered at their companions, family members, or relatives who had gone mad.
With the advancement of technology.
The younger generation in the family is becoming more and more opinionated.
People only come to participate in such long-standing esoteric gatherings after being chased and beaten.
In previous years, the Xuanmen Conference was always lifeless, with none of the liveliness it is now.
Yuda gasped: "Deputy Director?"
He genuinely hadn't expected Qu Jian'er to be the deputy director; as everyone knew, the Lingte Bureau only had one director, Luo.
A deputy director suddenly appeared this year.
It's like a stone thrown into a still pond causing a thousand ripples.
Whether it was her family or Vincent's family, everyone looked at Qu Jian'er, who had a beaming smile on her face.
Tina is the eldest daughter of the Vincent family.
She has a stunning mixed-race face, and her azure eyes are full of surprise.
Because I was ordered to investigate the matter of Lady Blood Red.
Because he wanted to invite the seniors who used magic circles and tarot cards to Vincent's house, he didn't have time to participate in the assessment.
Thus, they missed the opportunity to meet Qu Jian'er and the chance to witness a once-in-a-century assessment.
Just as Yuda was about to press for more information...
A malicious voice came from behind.
"The Spirit Special Bureau is the management department for people in the Xuanmen sect, and it's not a place where just anyone can enter. Not to mention appointing a deputy director, you must ask for everyone's opinion."
The one who spoke was the Sato family, who arrived late.
The man in the lead was short and bore a resemblance to the late head of the Sato family.
Kenji Sato's eyes darted around slyly: "You only got first place by luck. Getting into the Spirit Special Bureau is easy enough, but what about the deputy director? You didn't just appoint yourself, did you?"
He did it through certain channels.
I know that Qu Jian'er was the top scorer in the assessment.
Yet he was confident that such a person was not up to the job of deputy director.
Qu Jian'er's smile grew even brighter.
Captain Pang and He Shen looked displeased.
The Lingte Bureau has never interfered in the affairs of the various families, nor is it up to outsiders to meddle in the Bureau's internal decisions.
