The possibility that Xi Fu might have fled to the human realm is indeed a major headache for the Heavenly Inspectors. After all, the Heavenly Inspectors do not have any offices in the human realm, and the Heavenly Court's office in the human realm is of a very high rank, directly under the Heavenly Emperor's control. The Heavenly Inspectors cannot directly order the office to do things for them.
However, reporting to the Heavenly Emperor to entrust the office to search for Xi Fu in the human realm would make the patrolling heavenly general seem too incompetent. Moreover, once Xi Fu is found, all the credit will go to the office. Therefore, the patrolling heavenly general has always been quite troubled by this matter.
The main problem is that the Heavenly Inspectors have too many tasks and too few people. Managing the Celestial Realm is already difficult enough, and they no longer have the energy to manage the affairs of the Human Realm. In the past, there were also Heavenly Inspectors who would occasionally descend to the mortal realm to investigate the actions of the immortals there, record their merits, and assist the office in managing the wandering immortals in the Human Realm.
However, as the number of wandering immortals in the human realm becomes increasingly scarce, the function of patrolling celestial generals in descending to the mortal realm is almost never mentioned. Of course, it is certainly not a problem to send patrolling celestial generals down to the mortal realm to capture Xi Fu, but it would be too much of a problem to send patrolling celestial generals down to the mortal realm to search for Xi Fu.
If Xi Fu is not in the mortal realm, the patrolling celestial generals in the lower realm will have been working in vain. Even if Xi Fu is in the mortal realm, the difficulty of finding a person, especially an immortal, in the vastness of the realm is not something that can be solved in a year or two.
The patrolling celestial generals simply don't have any idle immortals who can stay in the mortal realm permanently, so this is a waste of their time.
Li Xunhuan was just worrying about this matter when he mentioned it to Wang Yao, who readily agreed. This meant he had bypassed the Heavenly Emperor and gotten help from the local government office. Li Xunhuan was overjoyed, but he kept it to himself and didn't let Wang Yao see it.
In this way, the claws of the patrolling celestial generals were extended into the human realm, without delaying either the human or celestial realms. The key was that Xi Fu was captured, but this was entirely due to the efforts of the patrolling celestial generals, and had nothing to do with the office. Wang Yao was just an immortal assisting in the case.
Li Xunhuan left his contact information on Wang Yao's interface, a method even more sophisticated than Caixia's, allowing direct communication between the mortal and immortal realms. Immediately afterward, Li Xunhuan politely escorted Wang Yao to Liu Fu's place.
Liu Fu was thick-skinned and treated Wang Yao like best buddies. He warmly led Wang Yao to the study hall. Wang Yao looked around and was tempted to arrange a marriage for this Liu fellow, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. Lu Xian's criticism was still ringing in his ears, and he decided to stay quiet for a while before making any decisions.
Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with this Liu man in the future. There's no rush to arrange a marriage for him that will cause him lifelong suffering.
The two went downstairs and were walking towards the study hall when a celestial being rushed towards them, glared at Liu Fu, and began to speak.
"Hey Liu, you think you're so great just because you're a section chief? What about the money you owe me? When are you going to pay it back?" Hearing the immortal cursing, Wang Yao couldn't help but turn to look at Liu Fu. Did this guy also have the common human phenomenon of not paying back debts?
But Liu Fu stared wide-eyed at the approaching immortal, looking completely bewildered.
"Who are you? When did I owe you money? Are you out of your mind?"
"Damn it, you owe me a million dollars for playing Pai Gow with a few guys at Zui Xian Lou last time. How dare you go back on your word? Does being a section chief mean you can just owe money and not pay it back?"
The immortal rushed over and grabbed Liu Fu, and the two began to struggle. Hearing the commotion, the doors of the surrounding offices opened one after another, and immortals all came out to watch the fun.
"Director Liu, what's wrong? Are you short on cash? How about I lend you some? It's really bad if the debt collectors come to your workplace."
"Hehe, I really didn't realize that. Liu Fu usually seems like a very honest person. How come he has such a bad habit?"
"Damn, you can know a person's face but not their heart. I have to be careful around that Liu guy from now on, and I can't lend him money."
...
Hearing the surrounding immortals' discussions, Liu Fu felt a surge of anger rising to his head. When the hell did he go gambling at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion? He didn't even know where the Drunken Immortal Pavilion was, and besides, he had always been careful in his daily life and had never done anything by taking advantage of his position as director.
There are just too many officials in the Heavenly Court. The section chief is practically a nobody, so insignificant that it's embarrassing to even mention him. But this guy is so despicable. He always uses his position to his advantage. The key point is that he has never owed this kid any money, and he doesn't even know who this kid is.
With that kid grabbing him by the collar, Liu Fu was so angry that the veins on his forehead kept throbbing.
"You better explain yourself clearly. Whether I gambled or not, we can find out. Is Director Li here? Where's the security department? Can someone call the security department for me? Get them here right now. If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'm not done with you!"
Director Liu gripped the man's clothes tightly, wondering if he'd been playing the role of a good, obedient employee at work. Who the hell dared to bully him? Even a rabbit will bite when cornered; who the hell thought he was easy to bully?
...
"Oh dear! Sorry, I made a mistake. I thought it was Liu Yuanhua..." Before the security guards could even arrive and ask any questions, the debt collector blinked, looked Liu up and down, and suddenly changed his expression, addressing Liu Fu differently.
"No... who is Liu Yuanhua?" Director Liu was completely confused.
"Pah! Liu Yuanhua is from the North Heavenly Gate, just a gambler. This immortal is also funny, he even got which gate he entered wrong." Someone who knew Liu Yuanhua laughed from the side.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I was really upset by that guy surnamed Liu. I'm so sorry you had to be frightened! And you too, I told you your surname is... it can't be such a coincidence, can it? You're also surnamed Liu?"
The immortal who was collecting debts looked extremely remorseful and kept apologizing to Director Liu. Director Liu couldn't keep up appearances anymore and could only mumble a couple of "It's okay." Only he knew how many curses were running through his mind.
