Chapter 55: Assessment and Rating
"Oh?" The old Taoist priest hadn't expected this. "You can actually control those old men?"
Jiang Chu curled his lips into a smile and said proudly, "What can't be suppressed? If they dare to cause trouble, just throw the bad luck charm on them."
"Those old men, if they were taught a lesson, they wouldn't make trouble anymore. You don't know, they'll be unlucky for a few days after they go back, but from now on, they'll all be respectful to me when they see me."
“When I feel unconvinced, I just slam the stack of talismans on the table, and everything is fine.”
Old Heavenly Master: “…”
"They didn't even sue you."
"How could there not be?" Jiang Chu's eyes were full of cunning. "But every policy has its countermeasures. I always put up lucky charms. I use discarded cinnabar to draw the lucky charms, and I use good cinnabar to hide the unlucky charms inside."
"Cinnabar, once the spiritual power is activated, it becomes useless. Doesn't it just happen to merge with the fake cinnabar? That's why they can't find it at all."
The old Taoist priest couldn't help but praise her: "It's quite sinister! But this method is good! Really good, I learned it."
As expected, the new student’s brain is smart. Next time he will use this trick to deal with those annoying people.
"Who made those old guys so troublesome?" Jiang Chu couldn't help but complain. "I told them to do something, but they kept saying this and that. Then I told them to do it themselves, and they kept saying this and that. What a bunch of good-for-nothings, just sitting there doing nothing!"
If it weren't for the consideration of his elders, the old Taoist priest would have applauded Jiang Chu.
She is so right!
Those people clearly don't know anything, yet they still insist on giving them orders and pretending to be very knowledgeable.
"Since he's been a director, things will be much simpler." The old Taoist priest stroked his beard. "I'm sure you're aware of the Eight Great Families' situation. If this director falls into their hands, we'll definitely have no peace."
The old Taoist priest is in a very good mood now. Tao Shenghua really found a treasure!
Jiang Chu is simply the chosen director. He doesn't need any further training. He can take up the post directly after passing the assessment, which saves a lot of trouble.
"You mean I should be the director?" Jiang Chu thought about it carefully and agreed directly, "No problem."
For Jiang Chu, this was just a return to his old job. Moreover, the position of director of the Bureau of Strange Stories was at least at the mayor level, and he was directly under the supervision of the higher authorities and was not under the jurisdiction of other organizations.
With this identity, Jiang Chu can investigate the formation openly and use magic normally.
She no longer had to worry about being locked up.
"Then you should go to the association tomorrow for an assessment and rating." The old Taoist priest took out the recommendation form he had prepared earlier. "Your Taoist priest level must reach at least advanced level."
"High-level?" Jiang Chu took the paper. "There aren't many high-level Heavenly Masters in the Xuan Sect, right?"
The old Heavenly Master is a senior Heavenly Master. As far as she knows, there are no more than ten senior Heavenly Masters in Xuanmen now.
Although Jiang Chu's current spiritual power usage is not that of a high-level Taoist priest, she has cheating artifacts, formations and talismans, so passing the test is easy for her.
"Forget it." Jiang Chu crumpled the paper into a ball and stuffed it into his bag, waving to the old Taoist priest. "Then I'm leaving."
This nonchalant look made the old Taoist priest shake his head.
"How does this kid manage to be reliable at one moment and unreliable at the next?"
"But this kid didn't say he couldn't do it..."
The old Taoist priest suddenly reacted and his little eyes widened.
"Could this girl really be a high-level Heavenly Master?"
All the senior Taoist priests that the old Taoist priest had seen were over fifty years old. This kid looked to be only eighteen or twenty years old. How could he have reached the level of a senior Taoist priest?
The young are truly to be feared. They are indeed the ones chosen by heaven.
Sleeping in the car for a whole day did not affect Jiang Chu's sleep at all.
Jiang Chu slept well, but the same may not be true for others.
Kyoto Wu Family
The head of the Wu family is discussing countermeasures with others.
"Two of the five formations have been broken, and it was all done by the same person."
Wu Wei, the head of the Wu family, looked solemn.
"Something's wrong with your daughter from the Fu family. People over there said someone has taken over your daughter's body."
If Jiang Chu was present, he would definitely recognize that the other person was the biological father of this body - Hu Weiye.
Hu Weiye has always been indifferent to his daughter Jiang Chu.
After all, this daughter was just a tool for him to seize the Jiang family's property from the very beginning.
He gave his useless daughter to Country R to show his loyalty, and he got the support of Country R. Only a fool would disagree with this deal.
"They can use it if they want, but they have to give me some compensation," Hu Weiye said with a calculating look in his eyes. "Allow me some more money. I've lost a lot of money in business recently."
"Nothing I do has been going well lately. I always feel like someone is behind me."
Hu Weiye got angry when he talked about this. He had already lost nearly ten thousand yuan this month, and every single thing happened so coincidentally.
Too many coincidences are definitely not coincidences, but he couldn't find anything.
It's really frustrating.
"You're probably overthinking it." Wu Wei glanced at him. "Compensation is impossible. Your daughter walked into the trap herself. Besides, weren't you selling her to Country R while she was still in her mother's womb?"
"I don't know why. Everything was peaceful for so many years, but why did your daughter's spirit awaken at this critical moment?"
They all knew that the fake Jiang Chu had died of his death. They all thought that the previous Jiang Chu was the newly born Jiang Chu and didn't think of anything else.
The current Jiang Chu has been possessed by the ancestor of the He family.
This body is really strong, having gone through so many hardships.
"How should I know?" Hu Weiye lost interest after hearing that there was no compensation. "You sent people to do that, and you've been following up since then. I was only responsible for providing the babies."
"Whatever problems arise later have nothing to do with me."
Hu Weiye heard the tentative tone in his words. He just wanted to see if his father would be soft-hearted and do something bad.
How could he possibly be soft-hearted towards Jiang Chu!
He wished that anyone with Jiang family blood would suffer as much as possible.
If Jiang Chu grew up smoothly, how could the Jiang family be handed over to him?
Only Jiang Chu has always been a piece of shit, and those who have objections to him will stay in the Jiang family honestly.
Wu Wei couldn't help but admire Hu Weiye. After all, the Jiang family had helped him so much, but he was still so cruel as to attack the Jiang family mother and daughter.
Although Wu Wei considers himself not a good person, he cannot be as cold-blooded as Hu Weiye.
"Okay, I've got another thing to talk to you about today." Wu Wei's expression became more serious. "We need your second daughter to compete for the position of Director of the Bureau of Extraordinary Stories."
This is the focus of today's conversation, finding one of their puppets and pushing it up.
The Bureau of Strange Stories must fall into their hands.
"No!" Hu Weiye refused directly, "Yaoyao can't do such a dangerous thing!"
