Chapter Twenty-Seven: Stalemate



Director Li is the head of the Security Department of the Nantianmen Customs Administration. Although he enjoys killing, how could he possibly break the law? If he were truly a hothead, how could he possibly be in this position of Security Department Director?

"Fellow Immortal Yue Lao, quickly put aside your ambitions as the Heavenly Emperor. Trust me, just go with Fellow Immortal Li to the detention room. I guarantee I'll put in a good word for you with Immortal Mo. Your situation is understandable, it won't get to the point of execution. If you continue to act recklessly like this, I won't be able to plead for you!"

Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate, and that some spirit-absorbing immortals had come to watch the commotion from the study hall, Xiao Liu became somewhat anxious.

He originally intended to resolve the matter privately with Director Li without making a sound, but Director Li refused to give him any face and insisted on reporting the matter to Mo Xian. He had no choice but to return, intending to appease Wang Yao and then figure out how to report to Mo Xian, hoping to resolve the matter within the bureau.

But now it seems that Wang Yao has been terrified by Director Li. Things are escalating and becoming increasingly out of control. The bigger the trouble Wang Yao causes, the more serious his crime of forgetting to give instructions will be. I'm afraid that even Mo Xian won't be able to suppress it, and I won't be able to get away unscathed.

"You guarantee it? What guarantees do you have? This guy just said he's been holding back from killing for hundreds of years, just waiting to kill me for fun. Why should I believe you?" Wang Yao asked, raising his voice.

When Xiao Liu was asked this question, he stared wide-eyed and couldn't speak for a moment. He only planned to plead with Mo Xian on behalf of Wang Yao. The most important thing was to resolve the matter of forgetting to give the speech. How to decide and what the final result would be was not up to him. It depended on Mo Xian.

Moreover, Xiao Liu was only guessing that Mo Xian wouldn't do anything to Wang Yao based on Mo Xian's usual temperament. But Wang Yao's actions were no longer just a minor magic trick used in the study hall; he had even wielded the Heavenly Emperor's Great Power...

Whether Mo Xian could suppress this matter or let Wang Yao off the hook, he had no idea. Wang Yao asked him to provide something as a guarantee, but where could he possibly provide anything? And what kind of guarantee could he possibly provide?

"This... Director Li, what do you think of this matter..." Xiao Liu had no choice but to look at Director Li, secretly resenting this guy for making trouble out of nothing, wanting to start a fight all the time, which has alarmed the God of Marriage. With everyone uncooperative, things are getting more and more complicated.

"I was just joking, how could I possibly kill him? At most, I'll punish him with some merit. But if this kid dares to continue resisting arrest like this, and it gets to the patrolling heavenly general, then it won't be my business if the heavenly general kills him."

Director Li wished he could tear Wang Yao to pieces, but he understood the current situation and knew that if he didn't appease Wang Yao and get him out of the study hall, the matter would remain deadlocked.

So he deliberately changed his words, thinking to himself that once Wang Yao was in the detention room, he would have to give him a good beating first to vent his anger before dealing with anything else.

"Go home and tell your dad some jokes. You say you won't kill me, but what guarantee do you have?"

Wang Yao isn't a three-year-old child, how could he be so easily fooled? Oh, I'll obey and go to the detention center. Then, without anyone knowing, you can kill me again. At that time, there will be no "fearless childhood" to save me from disaster. Whether I live or die will be up to you.

"What...what guarantee do you want?"

Li Chu secretly thought that Wang Yao couldn't stay in this study hall forever, so he wanted to hear his demands. If they weren't too demanding, he would agree to them for now. As long as he got him out, even if the kid escaped to the underworld or the demon realm, he would have a way to take the kid's life.

"How would I know anything about guarantees? I only ask for one thing: the moment I die, you the hell must die right after me. As long as that one thing is met, any guarantee will do."

Wang Yao had already thought it through. Only by tying his life to Li Chu's could he be safe. "You want to kill me for fun? Now that I'm dead, you'll die too. Only in this way can you prevent this guy from easily targeting you."

“Uh…” Director Li thought for a moment, how the hell could he guarantee that? Could he tell the kid that he would slit his own throat as soon as he died? The kid would have to believe that! He thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with a way to appease Wang Yao, so he turned to look at Xiao Liu.

He then noticed that Xiao Liu was also looking at him. The two stared at each other for a while before Xiao Liu finally shook his head.

"Well... I think you should report to Mo Xian as soon as possible. This matter is a bit tricky! Also, it's best to control the scene and prevent those spirit absorbers from coming over to watch the show."

Director Liu never expected that Wang Yao would dare to take the Heavenly Emperor hostage and threaten the Security Department, and Director Li and his team had indeed found his weakness. This matter could not be delayed any longer, after all, he himself was also at fault, and the more things escalated, the more pressure he faced.

"We're going together! It's all your fault!"

Director Li scratched his head and said angrily, "It's gotten to this point, and I'm in a bind. I can only blame Director Liu. That kid should have done his job properly beforehand. With Wang Yao's cowardly attitude, he definitely wouldn't have dared to use magic recklessly in the study hall."

If he doesn't recklessly use his magic, even if he has a deep grudge against the Old Man of the Moon, he won't be able to find any fault with him and will be helpless. Wouldn't that save everyone a lot of trouble? In the end, it's this Director Liu who's hateful. He deliberately lured me into causing trouble for this newly appointed Old Man of the Moon. If something really happens, there's nothing I can do about it.

Little Liu had no idea what Director Li was thinking. He quickly nodded. He was already implicated in this matter, and now he could only hope that the matter would be resolved quickly within the bureau.

If this gets to the patrolling celestial generals, the conflict between the civil and military factions in the Heavenly Court is already quite significant. If they happen to encounter someone who dislikes them and accuses them of condoning the disrespect of the Heavenly Emperor by mortal immortals, then it won't be a matter of just a reprimand and education. They might even have to go through the torture of branding with iron rods along with Wang Yao!
