“My idea is this: this young Wang has only been working for a short time and has little experience. It’s understandable that he doesn’t know the rules of Heaven. He’s scared by Li Kui and doesn’t dare to leave the study hall. You are, after all, his superior. Why don’t you take him back?”
"Oh, is that so... See what I just said? If I'm even slightly distracted, these guys will cause me a mess. Look at this little brat, he's only been working for two days, and he doesn't learn anything good, but he's quick to skip work and slack off..."
"Don't worry, I'll be right there. I have to thank you. If the patrolling heavenly generals find out, that kid will be in deep trouble. I'll deduct hundreds of merits from his account!"
Lu Xian hurriedly agreed. They were all seasoned officials and knew that this was the most appropriate way to handle the matter. If it went up to higher authorities, they would be shameless and it would be the bureau chiefs who would suffer.
While Mo Guangmu was busy in the office, Wang Yao settled down in the study hall. Embracing his "fearless childhood," he was undisturbed by anyone. He took the time to replenish his spiritual energy, but dared not try the second immortal technique, "Seize," and could only close his eyes and rest.
Theoretically speaking, Wang Yao could stay in the study hall without eating, drinking, or sleeping, without any problem. But did he transmigrate here just to stay in this dilapidated house and watch the Heavenly Emperor's great cause until the seas dry up and the rocks crumble? Wang Yao was extremely unwilling.
What good is being unwilling? Director Li stood guard outside, exuding murderous intent, and Wang Yao couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly that his abilities were still too small. If he had already reached the Nascent Soul stage or the Divine Transformation stage, Director Li would probably have a hard time doing anything to him.
We can roughly guess Li's cultivation level. Section chiefs are at the Foundation Establishment stage, department heads are at most at the Golden Core stage, and department heads should be between the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages. It's not that high and unattainable. In cultivation web novels, usually, they haven't even reached the third of the way through by this point.
Just as he was pondering a way to escape, the door to the hall was suddenly pushed open, and Wang Yao saw a handsome immortal walk into the study hall.
This immortal had a fair complexion, and if it weren't for the few wisps of beard on his chin, he would be almost indistinguishable from a young, handsome man in the human world—the kind of person that would drive a group of old women crazy at the sight of him. Upon seeing Wang Yao, this young, handsome immortal immediately glared at him angrily.
When Wang Yao saw this young man, he didn't know what kind of person he was. Seeing that the man kept staring at him, he rolled his eyes at him. He thought, "Why are you staring at me instead of glaring at old women?"
"Wang Yao, you damn well better put down your Heavenly Emperor's Great Cause and get up right now!" Lu Xian was furious when he realized that Wang Yao showed him no respect whatsoever, and shouted angrily.
Wang Yao had no idea that this was his boss, Lü Xian. He thought it was some young, handsome guy who had come to the study hall to film videos and do live streams and was acting crazy because he was in the way.
Wang Yao is now infamous. Someone surnamed Li wants to kill him, and some young, handsome guy is yelling at him. Just because I came to the Immortal Realm, I've become a rat in the street? Anyone can kick me while I'm down? What do you all take me for?
"You think I'll get up just because you tell me to? Who the hell do you think you are? Let me tell you, I'm in big trouble! Stop whining and go have fun wherever you want, I'm not getting up!" Wang Yao cursed.
"You... what kind of attitude is this? You know you're in big trouble? With your hooligan-like behavior, it was only a matter of time before you got into big trouble. Now, put down your great ambition of becoming the Heavenly Emperor. I am Lu Xian, and I've come here specifically to take you out!"
Lu Xian was furious with Wang Yao, but he couldn't afford to stoop to the level of this kid. Firstly, he genuinely forgot that Wang Yao didn't recognize him, so he couldn't pursue the matter further when Wang Yao insulted him. Secondly, he was, after all, a bureau-level cadre; it would be too naive of him to get angry with a mere clerk.
"This...this person is Lü Xian? Lü Xian is actually a young and handsome man? How is that possible?" Wang Yao stared wide-eyed at Lü Xian, feeling suspicious. Lü Xian was so different from the image in his mind. With such a pretty face and red lips and white teeth, where was the prestige of a bureau-level cadre?
Although Lü Xian still had three long tufts of beard on his chin, Wang Yao couldn't help but think it looked like it was glued on. After all, it's acting; a little bit of beard isn't a big deal.
However, Wang Yao also noticed that since this young man dared to call himself Immortal Lü in front of him, there must be some tricks involved. If Director Li was eager to kill him, it would be a piece of cake for him to find out who his superior was.
Nine times out of ten, this young heartthrob is an actor that Director Li found from who-knows-where. Look at his handsome and charming appearance, what else could he be but an actor? Using an actor to impersonate Lu Bu to trick me out so I can chop him up with an axe and have some fun? That Li guy is so cunning, I didn't believe his lies!
Although Wang Yao was basically convinced that this Lu Xian was an actor impersonating him, he was not without cunning. He thought to himself that if he was wrong and Lu Xian was actually real, things would be difficult to handle. Therefore, he did not start cursing anymore, but instead came up with a plan that he thought was brilliant.
What method? The old method: have Lü Xian guarantee his safety. Wang Yao thought, Lü Xian is a bureau-level cadre, and his cultivation level is at least at the Nascent Soul stage. How could he not be able to deal with Director Li, who is at most at the Nascent Soul stage? Impossible!
So, as long as Lü Xian can deal with Director Li and give him a guarantee, then Lü Xian is the real deal, and he will naturally obediently run away with him. But... if this Lü Xian can't even deal with Director Li, then he should stop whining and go take selfies, act, and go out to have fun. I'm not that stupid!
