Early morning, the weather was gloomy.
Zhang Yuanqing put on his clothes, pulled open the curtains, and glanced at the sky covered with light gray clouds. It was likely to rain today. If the price of the Great Luo Star Disc wasn't so high, he would definitely take out the道具 to confirm. In the living room, his family was sitting neatly around the dining table, enjoying their first meal of the day.
Grandma ladled porridge for Zhang Yuanqing, chattering incessantly about what happened last night, saying that the young lady came to their house for dinner but left with a look of grievance. It was the Chen family's poor hospitality. She hoped Yuanzi could bring Guan Ya home again next weekend. Grandma would definitely treat her well then.
Grandma and Grandpa were very particular about etiquette. After learning the truth, they felt sorry for Guan Ya and were deeply ashamed, wanting to make up for it. "Okay, Grandma, we'll see,"
Zhang Yuanqing casually brushed her off, thinking to himself, "Your grandson has already compensated her. She left with a face full of rosy glow, nibbling on young grass for half an hour, not feeling wronged at all." "Cousin, are you working today?" Zhang Qing looked at the "mature beyond his years" Chen Yuanjun. Chen Yuanjun hesitated slightly and said:
"It's the weekend, but I should go to the Public Security Bureau to keep an eye on the progress of the missing persons case." Grandma frowned deeply when she heard this:
"You said you were feeling weak in the back and knees the day before yesterday, feeling unwell. Yuanjun, your health is your greatest asset. You haven't started a family yet, don't let work ruin your health." To be precise, he didn't even have a girlfriend. Zhang Yuanqing, who considered himself already in love, couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority and mocked him inwardly.
His cousin took a sip of porridge, listening to his grandmother's nagging, his brow deeply furrowed. "There's nothing wrong with my body. I probably caught a cold the day before yesterday, so I felt unwell. After my morning run, I recovered."
After yesterday's morning run, he hadn't felt weak in the back and knees for a whole day.
While his cousin was talking to his grandmother, Zhang Yuanqing quietly opened his "Star Eyes," secretly observing his cousin.
The danger of bloodshed was still there, but it hadn't intensified, indicating that everything was proceeding according to "fate." It would descend when his cousin carried out the arrest, not from an unexpected accident. Zhang Yuanqing, as a Star Official, silently interpreted.
He was going to see Fu Qingyang today. To be on the safe side, he would have Bai Lan protect his cousin later. Closing his Star Eyes, Zhang Yuanqing nudged his aunt's arm with his elbow and said:
"Let's go shopping this afternoon."
His aunt coldly said, "I'm not going, and I won't go with you."
Her sweet and well-behaved round face, combined with a charming beauty mark, made her anger seem harmless. "Please, please!" Zhang Yuanqing said. His aunt thought for a moment and snorted, "Then beg me."
"I beg you, I beg you." Zhang Yuanqing followed her lead.
His aunt immediately broke into a smile, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, patting her nephew's head. "Since that's the case, your aunt will reluctantly let you accompany me shopping." After breakfast, Zhang Yuanqing summoned Bai Lan and gave her the order to protect his cousin.
Then he went back to his room to get his phone, preparing to take a taxi to Fujiawan. The moment he picked up his phone, as a Star Official, he had a premonition, a sudden thought: "Check my luck today."
This thought was purely a whim, a Star Official's instinct. His instinct told him that he should check his luck today.
"Hmm, I told Yuan Ting about the Chu family massacre, and that's confidential information that can't be leaked. Dog Elder will definitely punish me." Zhang Yuanqing interpreted the source of his whim,
His whole body gradually moving towards the glass
Gazing at himself in the mirror, stardust shone in his eyes, condensed into a dazzling galaxy. The next second, Zhang Yuanqing gasped.
In the mirror, black air filled the space between his eyes, black air filled the corners of his eyes, and red light surged under his lips. They represented the three "phases" of "Calamity," "Affinity," and "Labor." "What an unlucky face." Zhang Yuanqing said with a wry smile, interpreting the signs.
"The black air of 'Calamity' indicates that I will be in danger soon, but it's not a bloody disaster. My life is not in danger, but I might get injured...""The black air of 'Affinity' indicates that I haven't been involved in marriage, contracts, trade, or lawsuits recently. My relationship with Guan Ya is already stable, so there won't be any problems for no reason... Then the only thing left is social interaction. I'm going to have problems with social interaction soon..."
"The surging red light of 'Labor' indicates that I will be promoted and get a raise soon, and have many servants... Hmm, that fits Fu Qingyang's purpose in looking for me." Zhang Yuanqing "hissed" and had a feeling that these recent misfortunes were related to Fu Qingyang and Dog Elder. There were many ways to resolve misfortune, such as avoidance, seeking help, compromise, etc., which required different methods depending on the specific situation. For example, the best way to deal with his cousin's danger of bloodshed was actually to avoid it. If he gave up investigating the case, he could probably avoid the danger.
But Zhang Yuanqing couldn't avoid his misfortune because it came from Fu Qingyang and Dog Elder. You can avoid it temporarily, but not permanently. The correct approach was to face it proactively and resolve the misfortune. "Dog Elder wants to punish me, which I can understand. But why is Fu Qingyang targeting me? Did he find out that I secretly consulted a life mentor on how to pursue Guan Ya? Is that why the Affinity Palace is having problems?"
Zhang Yuanqing hesitated for a moment, then chose to meet the challenge head-on. His Star Official's intuition told him that this was the right decision.
He put his phone in his pocket and strode towards the bedroom door. At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing heard a "buzzing" sound of electricity coming from the desk, followed by the audio of the Cat King speaker: "The weather is so nice, let me keep running fast~"
It wanted to go out and play. Zhang Yuanqing stopped. Speaking of which, he hadn't taken the Cat King speaker out in a long time. The last time was when the Old Bastard descended, and it didn't dare stay in the room. "You stay at home."
This thing always speaks out of turn and is easy to make people embarrassed. Zhang Yuanqing didn't want to take it with him. The Cat King speaker immediately became anxious, emitting a series of "buzzing" sounds of electricity, followed by a rapid and high-pitched audio: "You used to call me 'Honey' when you watched the moon with me! Now that the new is better than the old, you call me 'Old Wife'!" Grandma's voice came from the living room: "Yuanzi, turn the TV down a bit."
...Zhang Yuanqing's mouth twitched. He walked to the desk, opened the drawer, put the Cat King speaker in his waist bag, zipped it up, and walked out the door decisively. He was worried that if he angered the Cat King speaker, it would play the audio of the Demon Lord working hard with juice dripping all over the place. "Whirr~"
Half an hour later, Zhang Yuanqing arrived at Fu Jiawan Villa. At this time, it was raining heavily, pouring down on the steel forest-like city. The streets were quickly soaked in rainwater, and the wheels rolled past the roadside, splashing a hazy mist of water.
Songhai was a coastal city and the estuary of rivers, so it was easy to get windy when it rained. The words "dreary wind and bitter rain" seemed to be invented for this city. In the midst of the dreary wind and rain, Zhang Yuanqing saw the bunny girl standing gracefully in the rain, holding an umbrella. It was the same one who led the way when he first arrived at Fujiawan.
The taxi slowly pulled over. Before Zhang Yuanqing could open the door, the bunny girl came running over on her high heels, blocking the rain from falling on him. "The young master said you definitely didn't bring an umbrella and asked me to pick you up at the door," the bunny girl said with a sweet smile.
Zhang Yuanqing nodded and followed her into the gate of the Fujiawan Villa community, got into the business car by the side of the road, and drove to Fu Qingyang's big villa. Under the bunny girl's lead, Zhang Yuanqing entered the villa, passed through the garden, and went straight to the training room on the first floor. "The young master is in a meeting inside. He's been waiting for you for a long time." The bunny girl stopped outside the training room, raised her hand, and gently knocked on the door.
The brown wooden door opened automatically. Zhang Yuanqing poked his head inside and widened his eyes in astonishment.
The lights in the training room were bright, and the clean floor reflected the light. A curly-haired poodle was squatting on a soft cushion. Opposite it was Fu Qingyang in a snow-white suit, sitting cross-legged on the floor. Behind Fu Qingyang were Guan Ya, Li Dongze, Bai Long, Qing Teng, Da Ji Ba, Tang Guoqiang... a total of twelve official practitioners. These official practitioners were all Fu Qingyang's direct subordinates. Dog Elder turned his head and looked over, saying gently, "Yuanshi is here. Sit down."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded to everyone and walked towards Guan Ya, who was wearing training clothes, and sat cross-legged beside her, very close to her, their knees touching. Dog Elder's button eyes stared at Zhang Yuanqing and said,
"Regarding your reward for clearing the Killing Instance; Headquarters has already issued the documents. The detailed contents will be checked by you later in the list. I mainly want to talk to you about the job transfer." Zhang Yuanqing's spirit was lifted and said:
《Rebirth: The Great Era of Entrepreneurship》
"Elder, I don't want to be transferred from Songhai. If there are no vacancies for the Deacon position in Songhai, then I can wait a while." He still didn't want to leave Songhai, as he didn't have the awareness of leaving his hometown, nor did he want to be separated from Guan Ya at this time. With the guidance of his life mentor, maybe he would be able to move into Guan Ya's house soon. Leaving Songhai at this crucial moment would be a waste of all his previous efforts. Dog Elder didn't answer. Fu Qingyang spoke first and said:
"Li Dongze has already informed me of your request. Headquarters' intention is to transfer Tianxia Guihuo to Songhai to replace me."
"I will still be stationed in Songhai and serve as the Patrol Elder of Songhai City, responsible for commanding the patrol team in Songhai. You can choose to become a Deacon in the patrol team and lead a team." You can also continue to stay in Team Two of Kangyang District and listen to the orders of Tianxia Guihuo."
The patrol team and the garrison team are two opposite concepts. In the middle and lower levels of the official structure, they can be roughly divided into two major factions: "patrol" and "garrison." The so-called garrison refers to working and operating in a fixed city, responsible for the security of the area and solving Spirit Walker incidents. The colleagues that Zhang Yuanqing is currently in contact with belong to the garrison team.
The patrol team does not have a fixed office location. Their work is to patrol and support several major cities under their charge, and to pursue criminals across provinces and cities. This is because the number of Spirit Walkers is limited, and the number of Saints and Rulers is even more limited. A super first-tier metropolis like Songhai has five Elders stationed there. Each provincial capital has at least one Elder.
However, small counties and cities in remote areas have very few official Spirit Walkers, let alone experts.
In order to strengthen control over these cities and to prevent remote areas from becoming breeding grounds for evil organizations, the patrol team came into being. Of course, some undeveloped and unimportant cities are still a paradise for evil organizations. Fu Qingyang continued:
"The jurisdiction of the Songhai patrol team is Jiangnan Province, Scattered Province, and Jianghuai Province. When necessary, it can radiate to all parts of the country. The patrol team needs to have three months of outdoor patrol records every year, and most of the time, they can still stay in Songhai."
"But this is under normal circumstances. If a branch within the jurisdiction requests assistance, they must go immediately. Yuanshi, it's up to you to decide." Zhang Yuanqing fell into deep thought. After a few seconds, he looked at Guan Ya. "Sister Guan Ya, what about you?"
Under her cousin's gaze, Guan Ya looked ahead, pretending to be just ordinary colleagues with Yuanshi Tianzun, and said, "I have already chosen to join the patrol team."
Zhang Yuanqing said, "Centurion, then I will also choose to join the patrol team."
In the current situation where the Deacon position is not vacant, there are many benefits to joining the patrol team. First, he can still stay in Songhai, which dispels his concerns, even if he has to travel more frequently.
Fourth, promotion and salary increase.
If he stayed in Songhai, in Team Two, he would become Tianxia Guihuo's subordinate; how could Yuanshi Tianzun be inferior to others, unless that person was Money Prince, who could control others with virtue. Fu Qingyang nodded in satisfaction and said,
"Each patrol captain has the power to command ten level 3 practitioners. You can recruit wild freelance cultivators yourself, or you can ask Headquarters to arrange it for you, or you can apply to the organization for the people you want."
Level 3 practitioners are the minimum standard for joining the patrol team. In terms of elite status, they are far better than the garrison team.

Ten places to pull in the Little Green Tea, pull in the Queen, let me think about which other beauties I know... Zhang Yuanqing's thoughts wandered, and he suddenly felt a little expectant. At this time, Fu Qingyang stood up and looked down at Zhang Yuanqing, saying, "Now that the official business is over, let's talk about some private matters."
As he spoke, Fu Qingyang reached out and grabbed a rusty Han Dynasty eight-sided ancient sword from the air, and said expressionlessly,
"I heard that you broke the record on the Extraordinary Realm points list. Please, Yuanshi Tianzun, who broke the record, give some guidance to this arrogant, shameless, and reckless person who dares to criticize the Marshal as trash." Zhang Yuanqing "..."
It was raining heavily outside the house, and Money Prince's eyes inside the house were full of murderous intent. "Buzz..."
The audio of the Cat King speaker sounded in his waist bag at the right time: "The rain keeps falling, the atmosphere is not harmonious..."
Zhang Yuanqing slapped it backhandedly and immediately looked at Dog Elder, hoping that the respected Elder could stop Money Prince's shameless act of bullying the small with the big. Dog Elder did not disappoint him. He said in a deep voice,
"Elder Fu, swords have no eyes. How can we use sharp weapons for sparring? Don't mess around." Just as Zhang Yuanqing was about to say that the Elder was wise, he suddenly saw Dog Elder raise his dog paw and "point" in the void. The next second, two half-meter-long wooden sticks appeared out of thin air. The wooden sticks were covered with sharp barbs. Dog Elder happily said, "Use them. I've prepared everything." Zhang Yuanqing "??"
Everyone in the room looked at Yuanshi Tianzun with pity and tacitly took out their phones.
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly understood that the black air in the Calamity Palace meant that he was going to be beaten, and the black air in the Affinity Palace meant that he was going to be socially dead. The magnificent and glorious image of Yuanshi Tianzun would be ruined by the phones of this group of people. ps: Wrong words will be updated and revised later.
