Suddenly, large water droplets splashed all over the screen. Wang Yao was stunned, thinking it was raining. But when he looked up, he saw the sunset was in full bloom and realized that the splashing water was probably an effect of an emoji.
"Hu Fei from Laorenke: I'm so touched! So touched! Being able to work under Lü Xian's care is truly a blessing we've accumulated over eight lifetimes! All the Laorenke Xian friends have been moved to tears by Lü Xian's care and love for Xiao Wang."
It really is an emoji! Holy crap! This fatso must have watched too many sentimental movies. He's crying so much I'm confused. Anyone who didn't know better would think that guy surnamed Lü didn't deduct my merit points at all, but rather gave me a lot of merit points.
"Security Section Chief Zhang: Xiao Wang, hurry up and come out to thank Immortal Lü! I admire Immortal Lü's management skills. He keeps everyone closely united around the Ascending to Heaven group with Immortal Lü at its core. Otherwise, if we call them and they don't come back, our Security Section will have to search the whole world for them, which is a waste of Heavenly Court resources!"
"However, I've heard recently that there seem to be quite a few cases of immortals going missing."
"Sun, Director of the Medical and Health Department: Yes, yes, yes! Xiao Wang, you need to seriously understand the care and concern your superiors have for you. It's not just praise that shows care; criticism and punishment also reflect the hopes and expectations your superiors have for you. Both thunder and rain are part of Lu Xian's care. You need to understand this deeply!"
After reading Zhang Ke and Sun Ke's posts, Wang Yao knew that it wouldn't be right to keep quiet any longer. Silence was a clear expression of his emotions, practically tantamount to turning against Lü Xian. He was just a minor matchmaker; how could he possibly compete with Lü Xian?
"Xiao Wang from the Marriage Management Department: Thank you for your criticism and punishment, Ms. Lü."
As Wang Yao typed those words, he felt incredibly frustrated. He had never spoken so insincerely before. Could it be that Lü Xian was retaliating for not recognizing him in the study hall last time? It must be, it definitely is!
Aside from that one time, he had no further contact with Lü Xian. He had only been in his position for a few days, and even if he didn't reply in time, Lü Xian wouldn't deduct 10 merit points from him all at once. Such a vicious act could only be explained as retaliation.
Damn it, I need to find a way to salvage my relationship with Lü Xian quickly. If things continue like this, let alone the deputy director, even my ability to continue cultivating is in question. It seems I can't just give away fake cigarettes and alcohol anymore. Maybe I should give away that Breakthrough Immortal Tea instead? Wang Yao pondered nervously.
"Lu Xian: Little Wang, Fairy Caixia has a task for you. You need to wait for Fairy Caixia's instructions at the designated time and place. Do you understand?"
"Xiao Wang from the Marriage Management Department: Received. May I ask what time and place it was?"
"Lu Xian: Don't move around, just wait."
Wang Yao guessed that this was probably why Lü Xian was looking for him in the Ascending Heaven Group. Cai Xia was supposed to be happy to see him, but after Lü Xian deducted 10 merit points from him, his excitement was greatly diminished.
"I'm rich, I'm rich..." The song about getting rich started playing again. Now Wang Yao had developed a conditioned reflex. As soon as he heard the song, he knew that a call was coming. He held the interface panel in one hand and took out his phone with the other and pressed the answer button.
"Young Master, it's me. I'm so sorry. I don't know who Lu Xian offended today, so he was in a bad mood and acted a bit too harshly. I called you as soon as I saw him looking for you in the group. I'm really sorry. You'd better be careful lately. I think Lu Xian might have some prejudice against you."
Hu Fei's urgent voice came through the phone.
"Didn't Ke Ke say that Lü Xian called three times in the group before you went out to find my phone?" Wang Yao asked, realizing he had suffered a heavy loss and needed to understand the whole story.
"You didn't know? He asked those three times in a row, and everyone in the group was silent because of his questions. I was afraid that Lü Xian would get angry, so I quickly answered in the group and then went straight to Hua Gu to ask for your number. It didn't take much time at all," Hu Fei hurriedly explained on the phone.
"You got my number from Huagu?" Wang Yao was a little surprised, then remembered that he hadn't registered his mobile phone number when he joined the company, so it was normal that Hu Fei didn't know it.
“Yes, Hua Gu praised you in the group last time. We all know you helped him treat two difficult cases. Hua Gu complained that your phone number was hard to find, and he couldn’t find you without the help of the police,” Hu Fei said.
Wang Yao held the phone in one hand and used one finger to scroll through the chat history in the Dengtian group. Sure enough, after scrolling through two pages, he saw that Lu Xian's three "Is Xiao Wang there?" messages appeared almost one after the other, separated by a timeline, before Hu Fei's reply.
"Lao Renke Hu Ke: Xiao Wang might be busy. I'll find his number and notify him immediately!"
Seeing this, Wang Yao realized that when this person surnamed Lü called him in the group, he was probably already planning to deduct his merit points. The fact that he called him three times in a row showed that he had ulterior motives.
Even if I was chatting in the group at the time, if I replied even a little late, I guess that bastard would say that I only replied after being called three times, and deduct 10 merit points from my account.
Even if I reply instantly, this guy will most likely find some other reason to make things difficult for me. Now he's come up with this "double regulation" thing. In the world before he transmigrated, "double regulation" was specifically used to deal with powerful figures who could command the wind and rain.
As a powerless, insignificant, and unambitious immortal, why would I need such terrifying methods? It seems that Lu Xian is not satisfied with just 10 points of merit from me. He still has the heart to destroy me and is probably plotting something else.
Wang Yao became increasingly nervous as he thought about it. He immediately stood by the roadside, not daring to move an inch. If he were to wander around at this moment, he would be walking right into the line of fire of the hunters who were already eyeing him. He would be caught by Lü Xian for disobeying the double regulations, and his merits would be greatly diminished.
