Director Li went out for a long walk, set up his notebook, refilled the ink, and had the interrogation room and detention room washed. Finally, he walked around the detention room door a few times with his hands behind his back, and when he realized that Wang Yao hadn't been taken there yet, he ran back with a lot of suspicion.
"You bunch of useless bastards! You can't even take one person with you, what have you been doing all this time? Hurry up! Take this Wang Xian to the detention room!"
Upon seeing the scene in the study hall, Director Li immediately flew into a rage, shouting and yelling. His subordinates kept their heads down and didn't utter a sound, but not a single one stepped forward.
"Damn it, you want to see me arrest people myself? Fine, I'll arrest them myself then. But let me tell you in advance, today I'll put that guy surnamed Wang in the detention room, and tomorrow I'll submit a report to Mo Xian. You all get the hell out of here, I don't want any of you!"
Li Chu was so angry that the hairs on his chest stood on end, making him look like a bunch of bristling hedgehogs clinging to him.
His men looked at each other, realizing they had no choice but to act or they would lose their jobs. The man with the pot cut and the one in the black uniform stepped forward first, bracing themselves to grab Wang Yao, while the others slowly surrounded him.
"Wang... Immortal Wang, please don't blame us. We had no choice. Our livelihood is here, but the Heavenly Court is in a slump these days, and jobs are hard to find..." The one in the black uniform was an immortal spirit. He apologized to Wang Yao while reaching out to grab Wang Yao's collar.
"Don't be afraid, old man. What's past is past. I'll go report to Mo Xian right away and try to make this a small matter. You only used a magic spell with less than 100 spiritual power without knowing the situation. It's understandable, very understandable!" Little Liu also advised from the side.
"I didn't believe your nonsense! You're trying to downplay this? What if you can't? What if I let that guy surnamed Li have his fun?" Wang Yao completely ignored his nonsense. Seeing that things were going badly and there was nothing around to grab, he had no choice but to hug the "Fearless Childhood" display board.
"Don't come any closer! Don't blame me if you smash the display board!" Wang Yao shouted, glaring at the security guards who were slowly approaching, mentally calculating which one to smash with the display board first.
The man in the black uniform reached out a hand, trying to put it on Wang Yao's shoulder. Wang Yao dodged to the side, raised the display board, and smashed it down on the man's head. Seeing the display board coming at him, the man in the black uniform acted like a mouse seeing a cat, not even trying to block it, and quickly retreated.
Wang Yao then swung the display board around, scanning it 360 degrees. The group of guys who came up to him all retreated as if avoiding snakes and scorpions.
Looking at the display board in his hand, Wang Yao was puzzled. It was just a paper frame, so why were these guys so scared? Was this display board some kind of magic weapon? It didn't look like it.
He had originally planned to smash through the crowd and grab another display board, but seeing that everyone seemed quite wary of the display board in his hand, he stopped looking for the next one.
"You...you have such...you have such audacity! Quickly...quickly put down the Heavenly Emperor's Great Cause! Touching...touching the Heavenly Emperor's Great Cause is...it is a great...great disrespect! You'll be...you'll be branded...burned! Quickly...put it down!"
Li Chu, standing to the side, widened his eyes and strode forward, wanting to get closer to Wang Yao, but then shrank back in fear, his finger trembling as he pointed at him, his mouth agape in shock.
The security guards looked at Wang Yao with complicated expressions. They saw him holding "Fearless Childhood" tightly in his arms and thought to themselves, "This Wang Xian has already embraced the Heavenly Emperor so intimately. What is the torture of branding? Even being torn apart by five horses cannot atone for his heinous crimes."
"So that's what happened!"
Upon hearing Li Chu's shout, Wang Yao was shocked. That's right! Even using magic in this room is punishable by death, so touching the display board is naturally an even more serious crime.
But he's already used magic, so touching the display board again doesn't seem like a big deal. At most, I'll kill him again. What difference does it make whether I kill him once or twice? Does it matter whether I chop him to death with an axe or scald him with a copper pipe?
Since I'm going to die anyway, you managed to kill me twice in some strange way. I'll admit you're something else!
With this thought in mind, he gripped the display board tightly with both arms and remained motionless.
"You... surnamed Wang, you... you really are a troublemaker! Quickly... quickly put down... the great cause of the Heavenly Emperor, or... otherwise, believe it or not, I'll... chop you to death with an axe!"
Although Li Chu was stuttering, he was still unwilling to give up and was still trying to threaten Wang Yao.
"If you're going to chop me up, chop me up... chop me to death! I might... I might splatter... splatter the Heavenly Emperor with blood! It's all... it's all your fault! I'll die right before you... right after! We'll... we'll... we'll have a... a duel on the road to the Yellow Springs!"
Wang Yao, not to be outdone, imitated Li Chu's stuttering and cursed back. Li Chu scratched his head; things were really getting complicated. He certainly didn't dare come here with an axe to kill Wang Yao.
Since magic cannot be used in this study hall, it is naturally even more forbidden to wield swords or guns.
According to Venus, this place is like a classroom where the Heavenly Emperor himself gives lectures. Every display board is like a manifestation of the Heavenly Emperor, every inch of space echoes with the Heavenly Emperor's earnest teachings, and every breath of air is the Heavenly Emperor's compassion, care, and love for all the immortals.
The fact that the Heavenly Emperor didn't require the immortals to perform a grand ceremony when absorbing spiritual energy already shows that he was being magnanimous, considering the actual difficulties of the system. Who the hell would dare to offend him? What do you take the Heavenly Emperor for? A pushover? Has the Heavenly Emperor been able to sit in that position forever because he's a pushover?
