"...See if you can handle this internally...give them a reprimand or a small deduction of merit...you know, I also bear some responsibility for this, we can't let them suffer the same fate..."
Just then, Xiao Liu rushed in, sweating profusely, and hurriedly explained the situation to the burly man in charge, Director Li. He had only just remembered the matter after returning to his office; seeing the newly appointed matchmaker had stirred his emotions, and he had been so focused on inviting Wang Yao for tea that he had forgotten about the presentation.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, when he rushed over, Wang Yao had actually committed a major taboo of the Heavenly Court in the study hall. Using immortal techniques in front of the Heavenly Emperor's great cause was a serious act of disrespect. When Director Li said he would kill him, he was not joking.
Fortunately, Wang Yao only used a magic technique with less than 100 spiritual power. It can be said that although the crime was very serious, the circumstances were extremely minor, and there was still room for redemption.
Knowing Wang Yao's special status, and that the consequences of him being punished would be unpredictable, Xiao Liu had no choice but to plead with Director Li on Wang Yao's behalf. He first specifically pointed out Wang Yao's role as the matchmaker, hoping that Director Li would be more cautious.
Secondly, his forgetting to give a speech was also a mistake, but compared to Wang Yao's skill in using immortal techniques, the difference was huge. Xiao Liu was also a section chief, so as long as Wang Yao wasn't handed over to the patrolling heavenly generals, his mistake would at most result in a few words of criticism within the management bureau.
But once Wang Yao is handed over, the extent of his responsibility for forgetting to publicize the matter will depend entirely on the judgment of the patrolling heavenly generals, and it's hard to say whether it can be handled discreetly.
Director Li should be clear about the intricacies of this matter. Xiao Liu took the initiative to link the two things together, on the one hand to prove that he was indeed responsible for this matter, and on the other hand, hoping that Director Li would let Wang Yao go for his sake, which was a great favor to Director Li.
“I also thought about handling this internally.” Director Li nodded. Xiao Liu and Wang Yao, who was sitting on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but unexpectedly, Director Li continued, “But if I can’t use those axes, what’s the point of keeping them in the station?”
"You...you're just messing with me?" Xiao Liu's expression changed. This guy surnamed Li was still thinking about killing Wang Yao and didn't give him any face at all. It was as if he had never been in a trap before. He asked angrily.
"Director Liu, did you forget to announce that this guy surnamed Wang can use magic in the study hall?" The burly man chuckled. "He's just a newly appointed matchmaker, not that old bastard Xi Fu. I can't stand you guys who act all servile to the matchmaker."
"Our Heavenly Court is a place with rules. I don't care who anyone is. As long as they break the Heavenly Laws, they will be dealt with according to the rules. Stop spouting nonsense in front of me." As the big man spoke, he lowered his expression, clearly intending to turn against Xiao Liu.
"So, you're determined to hand Wang Xian over to the patrolling celestial general?"
Xiao Liu blinked a few times and then asked, "This is a critical moment to distinguish between contradictions among the people and contradictions between ourselves and the enemy. Whether Director Li will let Wang Yao go or not is another matter. His determination to hand Wang Yao over to the patrol general is tantamount to declaring war on him, the director."
“I’ll report to my superiors first. The bureau doesn’t have the authority to execute a deity, and neither does the headquarters. I just don’t believe it. Don’t worry, handing him over to the patrol general is a last resort.”
"I didn't mean to cause you any trouble, and it's not my place to deal with the mistake you made in forgetting to give the speech. It will probably take some time to deal with this kid. You can go and apologize to Mo Xian first and see what Mo Xian has to say." Director Li said, turning to look at his group of subordinates.
"Hurry up and take this guy to the detention room. I'll interrogate him later to see if he has any accomplices. Maybe we can even uncover a criminal gang." With that, he waved his hand and strode out of the study hall.
"Hey! Director Li, what exactly do you mean...?" Xiao Liu blinked and hurriedly chased after him.
Director Li's meaning was quite clear: he didn't want to offend Xiao Liu and would detain Wang Yao in the Administration Bureau for a period of time to give Xiao Liu some breathing room.
As for Xiao Liu forgetting to give the speech, he would have to go to Mo Xian to plead for him. Mo Xian's status is different, and he should be able to speak with the patrolling heavenly generals. In this way, even if Wang Yao is handed over, Xiao Liu will not have too much trouble.
But Xiao Liu didn't think so. If he wanted to go find Mo Xian, he wouldn't have wasted his breath talking to that guy surnamed Li here. It was something that the two section chiefs could have resolved on the spot, but they insisted on taking it all the way to the bureau chief. This Director Li is a bit hard to tell friend from foe.
He's causing me some trouble, yet he's keeping it within a certain range? What... what exactly is Director Li up to? Little Liu is confused and needs to hurry over and find out.
Director Li scoffed at Wang Yao's supposed role as a matchmaker, but his subordinates didn't share the same opinion. Upon hearing that Wang Yao was a matchmaker, their expressions became complicated. Seeing Director Li storm out the door, they all looked at each other with troubled expressions.
Wang Yao had already guessed that he might really be in big trouble. He had originally held onto a sliver of hope by pleading with Xiao Liu, but after seeing the two of them leave one after the other, he knew that the guy surnamed Li was determined to stick with him. Did he even want to interrogate him? Not only was he facing the death penalty, but he also planned to make him suffer even more torture?
He was incredibly annoyed. What a pathetic situation! He had only planned to absorb some spiritual energy and then go down, but he hadn't expected to cause such a huge mess.
"You old scoundrel Xi Dazui, you've almost killed me!" Wang Yao cursed inwardly, his mind a jumble of thoughts, unable to come up with any ideas.
