Although Wang Yao was curious about what this Tongxuan Old Immortal had done back then that made the Heavenly Court resentful even after thousands of years, he decided against trying to persuade the Heavenly Emperor or the Supreme Lord on behalf of Tongxuan Old Immortal.
He's not a hothead. Thinking of hotheads, Wang Yao couldn't help but look at Wei Zheng's name again and sighed inwardly. Who cares? It's all the same who does it.
"I really don't understand why our Women's Federation has so many bureau-level propaganda units? Isn't one propaganda bureau enough? Why do we have performing arts, film and television, and even five bureaus for creative works, the internet, and rumors?"
Caixia, seeing Wang Yao troubled by Xianxuan, the director of the Film and Television Publicity Bureau, couldn't help but ask.
"Everyone has their own expertise, you wouldn't understand," Wang Yao replied vaguely, then turned to look at the document again, feeling that this small piece of paper contained a surprisingly complex amount of information.
"The Heavenly Court explained in its reply why it rejected my selections as an immortal. This only proves that the higher-ups know that I am not very familiar with the various rules of the Heavenly Court. It's just because I explained things a bit more. It's not as exaggerated as you say, like being treated differently," Wang Yao added.
"Isn't this treating them differently? Do you know what it means to arrange for those two little girls, Qin Su and Qing He, to leave their original realms and become immortals?" Caixia asked.
"What do you mean?" Wang Yao looked at Caixia blankly.
"That means ascending to immortality from the ground! Do you know how many years it takes for one person in the five lower realms to ascend to immortality from the ground? If it weren't for your recommendation, how could they enjoy such treatment?" Caixia exclaimed.
"I see..." Wang Yao suddenly felt a sense of gratitude towards the Heavenly Court. After Cai Xia explained, he understood that this was the Heavenly Court's true grand gesture.
The reason wasn't that there were too few ascension slots in the Five Realms; in fact, there weren't any at all. Ascending to the Immortal Realm from the ground required a great price, so allowing Qin Su and Qing He to ascend from the ground was a huge favor from the Heavenly Court to Wang Yao.
It should be understood that even if the Supreme One handles the affairs of the realm of gods and demons, beheading demon lords, bestowing titles upon gods who have abandoned demons, and those who have abandoned gods to become immortals, they will all have to die once. Once they arrive in the immortal realm, they must start cultivating from scratch. Although positions are reserved for them, it is really hard to say when they will be able to sit on them.
Qin Su and Qing He, on the other hand, did not need to die and ascended directly to immortality. While this was partly to avoid affecting their work, the Heavenly Court would inevitably have to use a considerable amount of resources in the process.
I'm not sure about other realms, but Wang Yao himself ascended directly from the human realm. That time, he almost killed Xi Fu and turned a veteran immortal into a mortal. You can imagine how high the price is for a mortal to ascend to immortality.
As for the other realms, Wang Yao thought the Underworld would only be more difficult, and the Demon Realm... probably wouldn't be too different from the Human Realm.
So, the Supreme Lord and the Heavenly Court have high expectations of him. Damn it, if he doesn't win the public opinion battle well, it will be hard to explain. Wang Yao suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders become much heavier.
"I didn't expect you to have such feelings for them. Now that they've both become immortals, do you have some other plans? Let me tell you in advance, it's a strict rule in Heaven that husbands and wives can't work in the same place. You'd better plan ahead before you do anything," Caixia said sourly from the side.
She knew Qin Su and Qing He. Seeing how much Wang Yao cared for them, she felt a surge of jealousy. After holding back for a long time, she couldn't help but say something sarcastic.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just doing this for work..." Wang Yao hurriedly argued, but then it suddenly dawned on him that once Qin Su became an immortal, the taboo against physical contact between them would naturally be broken, and at that time... he couldn't help but think of Qin Su's slender, delicate hands...
"It's all about work, why are you blushing?" Caixia asked aggressively.
"Did I blush? Which eye of yours saw me blush?" Wang Yao felt guilty, but he didn't back down.
"Excuse me, which person in charge of the Women's Federation is here?" a voice suddenly rang out from downstairs.
Wang Yao and Cai Xia exchanged a glance, and then their figures flashed to the balcony. There, they saw two people standing in the courtyard below. One was a middle-aged male immortal who was a stranger, dressed in a blue immortal robe, and the other was Qing He, whose eyes were filled with tears.
She looked much weaker than before, as if a gust of wind could blow her over, as if she were seriously ill. Looking at Qinghe, Wang Yao felt that she was missing something from the Qinghe he used to know, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
"Wang...Wang Yao, I came to the Immortal Realm just to ask you one question. What exactly do you mean by making me an immortal now?" Qinghe asked Wang Yao with teary eyes as soon as she saw him.
Wang Yao quickly jumped down from the building and came to Qinghe's side.
"What's wrong? Are you sick? The Heavenly Court put me in charge of the Women's Federation, and since I thought you were familiar with the situation in the Demon Realm, I planned to make you the director of the Women's Federation's branch in the Demon Realm. I... I'm doing this purely for the sake of the overall situation of the Six Realms, I don't mean anything else," Wang Yao said hurriedly.
"I see. So you don't mind me like this?"
With tears in her eyes, Qinghe gave Wang Yao a pitiful smile. Then, her full head of black hair suddenly turned white, falling down like snow in an instant. Her delicate face was also instantly covered with wrinkles, turning her into an old and frail-looking woman.
"You...you...what's wrong?" Wang Yao instinctively knew that this was Qinghe's true form and asked in shock.
"I'm old, I'm going to die, haven't you ever thought that I'll get old one day too?" Qinghe stared at Wang Yao with tears in her eyes.
“This…” Wang Yao suddenly realized that he had made a huge, irreparable mistake. Since leaving the human realm and entering the realm of gods and demons, he had never taken care of Qinghe. He thought that Qinghe would still be young and waiting for him, just like when they parted.
