Wang Yao didn't know that being able to deal with someone and giving a guarantee are two completely different things. It's true that Li Chu is a thousand miles away from Lü Xian, but Lü Xian can't just kill Li Chu to give Wang Yao a guarantee, can he?
He couldn't just hang a sword over Li Chu's head, and if Wang Yao got into trouble, the sword would fall and Li Chu would be killed. What right would Li Chu have? Even if he offended him, he couldn't be going to be at odds with him forever, could he? Even if it was only temporary, Li Chu was Mo Xian's man, so Mo Xian had to give his approval, right?
Damn it, he couldn't even handle one of his subordinates, yet he still had to resort to those underhanded tricks. How could Lü Xian have the face to see Mo Xian? He exchanged a few words with Wang Yao, who initially had a good attitude, but gradually became rude.
If even a mere Director Li can't handle this, how could he possibly be a high-ranking official like Lu Xian? He's probably an imposter! That's right, there are fake cigarettes and alcohol in this immortal realm, so it's not unreasonable to use a fake official to fool people.
Seeing that he couldn't get through to Wang Yao, Lü Xian didn't argue with him any further and stormed out. As a bureau-level cadre, he had no face to stay any longer arguing with a kid who had only been working for two days. But as soon as he stepped out of the study hall, he frowned deeply.
He had boasted to Mo Xian that Wang Yao would follow him back to the human realm in a panic once he showed up. But now Wang Yao was like a rock in a latrine, smelly and hard. If he couldn't get rid of him, wouldn't he make a fool of himself in front of Mo Xian and lose face?
More importantly, if Wang Yao stays here for too long, he will inevitably be caught by the patrolling heavenly generals, and Lü Xian will be blamed for failing to manage his subordinates properly. This infuriated Lü Xian.
He's a veteran bureau-level cadre at the Refinement Void stage, and he's managed the Heavenly Court's office in the mortal realm for countless years. Yet he's still being implicated and punished by Wang Yao. Isn't that incredibly unfair? Even if he's not punished, just a reprimand would be enough to save face!
Lu Xian paced back and forth in front of the study hall, sometimes hating Wang Yao so much that his teeth itched, and sometimes sighing with worry. Just as he was feeling helpless, a fragrant breeze wafted towards him. Lu Xian sniffed and blinked a few times, and saw a modern woman walking gracefully towards him.
Upon closer inspection, Lü Xian quickly straightened up. The woman who had arrived had a very powerful background in the Heavenly Court. She was the ninth-generation granddaughter of the Heavenly Emperor and was currently the deputy director of the Planning Department of the Heavenly Court's Prosperity and Development Bureau.
The Prosperity and Development Bureau, Lü Xian's office, and Mo Xian's Nantianmen Customs Administration are not the same thing. The latter is a genuine ministerial-level unit, and its director is a proper ministerial-level official. Don't be fooled by the fact that this little granddaughter is a deputy director; her rank is only half a rank lower than Lü Xian's.
The woman's mother married a foreign god, and she was of mixed race. However, she did not covet life in the foreign world and did not hesitate to leave her parents and cross over to be with her ancestors.
The Heavenly Emperor and his wife doted on their granddaughter immensely. On one hand, it was a special bond between grandparents and grandchildren, as they were nine generations apart, and their love only grew stronger with each passing year. On the other hand, of the Heavenly Emperor's seven or eight thousand female descendants, more than half had married and moved to the Western Paradise, and only this Fairy Caixia had returned.
The Heavenly Emperor has always attached great importance to those who have returned from abroad, especially since this one is his own bloodline!
Moreover, this Fairy Caixia not only received her education in the Western Realm, but also studied under Laozi and Nanhua Immortal for a while after returning. Saying that she is well-versed in both realms is not flattery. Not long after joining the Prosperity and Development Bureau, she was promoted to deputy director, specifically responsible for compiling the Heavenly Court's hundred-year and thousand-year plans.
Although Caixia's rank was half a rank lower than Lu Xian's, Lu Xian still treated this Fairy Caixia with utmost respect and dared not put on airs in the slightest. She was of impeccable character and had a promising future; it was only a matter of time before she surpassed Lu Xian. If he put on airs with her, he would be being disrespectful.
"What brings Fairy Caixia here?" Lu Xian hurriedly bent down from a distance, smiling as he greeted Caixia.
"Since you, Lu Xian, are here, of course I had to come too," Caixia said with a smile. "Is it because of the newly appointed Matchmaker? A bit of a headache?"
Upon hearing Fairy Caixia mention Wang Yao as soon as they met, Lü Xian immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Wang Yao had offended someone's own ancestor, and now the matter could probably no longer be covered up.
"This...the news travels so fast. It's just an ignorant little fellow, why would a fairy like you come all the way here?" Lu Xian took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her temples.
"The ignorant little fellow? Did Lü Xian bring him out?" Caixia frowned.
"No...not yet. This kid is terrified by Li Kui. He only comes out after everyone promises his safety, but...he doesn't believe me even if I promise him verbally. It's a bit tricky."
Lu Xian didn't set up any ambushes with Cai Xia. After all, the matter had already occurred. If Cai Xia notified the patrolling heavenly generals, all his bluffing would be in vain. He was a shrewd old official and knew when honesty was more advantageous than cunning.
"Well, I'll give it a try. However, I still want to remind Lü Xian that the position of the Matchmaker is very important to our Prosperity and Development Bureau, and not only to our bureau, but to the entire Six Realms. You must not underestimate it."
Caixia nodded. Perhaps it was because Lü Xian's initial comment that Wang Yao was an immature little fellow that she found it a bit jarring, so she reminded Lü Xian of it again.
“Of course, of course, otherwise Xi Fu would have resigned long ago, and we wouldn’t have waited until now to replace him.” Lü Xian nodded repeatedly.
After Caixia finished speaking, she turned and pushed open the door to enter the study hall. Upon hearing that the newly appointed matchmaker had encountered trouble at the South Heavenly Gate, she hurriedly suppressed the troublemaking patrolling celestial generals and rushed over.
