Chapter 34 Silver Guard
Wang Yao bowed respectfully and said, "Your Excellency, I have challenged the Xiantian worshipped by the Wuya Sect. The prince personally allowed me to enter the Prison Dao Division. I wonder if your Excellency has any impression of this."
While they were talking, Wang Yao finally got a clear look at the deputy director's appearance. His facial features were three-dimensional, with clear edges and corners, and he had a pair of sword-like eyebrows. He was actually a handsome guy.
The deputy director recalled briefly and said, "Oh, I remember now. Someone reported it to me at that time. Why did you come to report it just now?"
"The bottleneck loosened some time ago, and I had to go into seclusion to break through. Please bear with me, sir." Wang Yao said with a wry smile.
The deputy director nodded and said, "Remember my name is Yin He, the deputy director of the Supervision Department. I will handle the daily affairs."
"Yes, Master Yin." Wang Yao replied immediately.
Yin He walked a few steps in the room with his hands behind his back, and then said: "Judging from your aura, you are in the late Xiantian stage, and your combat power is not weak, so you should become a first-class silver guard first.
By the way, people from Fuxian Mountain usually live in the East Garden, so be careful and avoid any conflicts."
"Thank you, sir!" Wang Yao accepted the order respectfully. However, it was a little strange that Yin He would bring this up. Such a prominent figure even knew about his feud with Fuxian Mountain.
Yin He continued pacing, wondering if there was anything else he needed to say. Wang Yao had nothing to flatter, so he could only wait.
Finally, the overly quiet atmosphere in the room was broken. Yin He walked to the table and pulled a silk thread.
"Ding-ling-ling." A crisp bell rang.
After a while, a dull voice sounded outside the door, "Sir, Second-class Golden Guard Suo Yunyang is here to receive orders."
"Come in." Yin He was already sitting at the table, reading official documents again.
Suo Yunyang pushed the door open and walked in, looking honest and loyal. As soon as he came in, he looked at Yin He and waited for orders.
Yin He seemed to have seen something important and said without raising his head: "Yun Yang, he will follow you from now on. I gave him the status of a first-class Silver Guard. Try it first. If it doesn't work, he can be demoted back."
Suo Yunyang immediately accepted the order and said, "Yes, sir, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
Only then did he take the trouble to look at Wang Yao. The meaning was simple: why don't you come with me?
After the two men retreated, Wang Yao followed them in a dull manner and walked for a long distance until they arrived at the door of a warehouse.
A very idle treasury keeper was dozing off on the table. Suo Yunyang walked up to him and knocked hard on the table a few times.
"Who is it? Which shameless bronze guard comes here at this time?" The treasury keeper was awakened and shouted in confusion.
When he saw the two golden edges on Suo Yunyang's chest, he finally woke up completely and broke out in a cold sweat.
The treasury officer wiped his forehead with his sleeve and bowed to Suo Yunyang, saying, "Suo Jinwei, I didn't know it was you, the boss, who came to visit. Please forgive me."
Suo Yunyang remained expressionless as he said calmly, "Go get a set of first-class silver guards' stuff. This is Wang Yinwei who just arrived."
The treasury keeper's eyes were filled with surprise when he heard this. It was the Silver Guard who came up. Could he be another master in the Gangqi realm?
He did not dare to be negligent. His originally frightened eyes quickly looked at Wang Yao's whole body, and he gestured to Wang Yao's various sizes apologetically.
Then he trotted into the warehouse and told the warehouse clerk on duty to get things. His efficiency was so high that Wang Yao was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the pile of things in his hands.
On the way out of the warehouse, Suo Yunyang finally spoke up, "Everyone has his own way of surviving. Like the warehouse guard just now, if he didn't have exceptional eyesight, he wouldn't have been able to stay that long."
Wang Yao nodded in agreement and said, "I have benefited greatly from Master Suo's words."
"Don't call me sir in the future. Just call me captain or Suo Jinwei. You will be a member of my team in the future. Of course, you will also lead a few bronze guards to form an ordinary team." Suo Yunyang frowned and corrected Wang Yao's way of addressing him.
Wang Yao was a little surprised to hear Suo Yunyang explain so much.
I thought to myself, he actually talked to me so much. It seems that Suo Jinwei is not unwilling to talk, but he just doesn't talk to people he is not familiar with. His teammates are naturally familiar to him.
After realizing this, Wang Yao quickly replied, "Yes, Captain. I'd like to ask how our levels are divided. Are Silver Guards very powerful?"
Suo Yunyang stared at Wang Yao for a few seconds and explained, "Bronze Guards are generally only for those born after birth. Of course, some powerful acquired talents and those with special skills can also become Bronze Guards.
To become a Silver Guardian, one must be at the Gangqi Realm. Due to the huge gap, very few Xiantian cultivators are selected. I don’t know why you are favored by Master Yin.
At this time, a few people with copper wires on their chests happened to pass by. When they saw Suo Yunyang, they all greeted him with a look of fear and trepidation.
Suo Yunyang nodded lightly in response, acting like a big boss. Of course, Wang Yao was also stared at by them. Who was this new guy, following Jin Wei?
When they reached a deserted path, Suo Yunyang stopped and continued, "You've seen that in the Dao Supervisory Office, strength is everything. If you wear the uniform of a Silver Guard but don't have the corresponding strength, you'll be looked down upon."
Wang Yao, upon hearing this, naturally responded directly. He replied to Suo Yunyang with certainty, "Please rest assured, Suo Jinwei. I won't embarrass you or the team. As for those who come looking for trouble, I'll fight them all!"
After hearing Wang Yao's confident reply, Suo Yunyang nodded with satisfaction and continued to explain things to Wang Yao.
In this way, one person talked and the other listened along the way. When they parted, Wang Yao had almost understood the basic situation of the Jiandao Division.
Wang Yao’s first step was to find the Silver Guard who was responsible for selecting the Bronze Guards, and choose a few Bronze Guards from him as his own team.
The Deacon's Hall is the busiest place in the entire Daojian Division and the core of middle-level power. It is responsible for receiving and processing various information, allocating and supervising ordinary tasks, etc.
Wang Yao wore the black robe he had received and stepped into the Deacon's Hall. There was a constant stream of people in the hall, and there were many people queuing in front of each deacon.
There was no other way, Wang Yao could only find a deacon with a sign saying "Miscellaneous Matters", as there was almost no one here.
"Hello, Deacon, may I ask who is the deacon for selecting the Bronze Guards?" Wang Yao walked up to him and asked.
The deacon had his eyes closed to rest, but when he opened them, he found a silver guard with a silver string tied around his chest. He was stunned for a moment, as it had been a long time since a silver guard had come to see him.
Wang Yao noticed that he was a little dazed, so he coughed and continued, "May I ask who is responsible for selecting the deacons of the Bronze Guards?"
"Um, you mean the selection of Bronze Guards? Then it must be me, and you are new here?" The deacon came back to his senses and said.
Wang Yao didn't expect that he would be the one selecting the Bronze Guards. He replied, "Yes, I just arrived today. How do I choose my team members?"
The deacon suddenly realized and said, "I was wondering, our Dao Supervision Department hasn't had a single Silver Guard come in for a long time. Apart from sect disciples, most of them are promoted from within our ranks.
So, you should be the first individual Silver Guard to come in from outside in the past six months. This is the list of the remaining Bronze Guards without a team. Take a look for yourself."
The list was a thick booklet, but it was either marked with someone being promoted or someone being selected by a Silver Guard. There were only a few Bronze Guards waiting to be selected.
