Chapter 824: Chapter 489: The Secret of the Former Chu Crown Prince (Monthly Ticket Request)
“Yes, it will!”
Chen Yuan said with great confidence.
He wasn’t confident about three months, but if it were a year, he had quite some assurance. If he happened to encounter a few children of Qi Fortune in succession,
perhaps it wouldn’t even take a year.
“Hmm…”
Moluo wanted to say more, but suddenly his gaze shifted, and he glanced outside, transforming into a streak of light and entering the Emperor Slaughter Saber, leaving a message:
“Someone’s coming.”
Chen Yuan nodded, regaining a serene expression. In no time, a person hurriedly entered from outside, it was the mansion’s chief steward.
“What happened?”
“Master, an official from the Heavenly Patrol Bureau just delivered a message. The Great Governor is summoning you, and you must proceed to the Heavenly Patrol Bureau immediately, no time to delay.”
The old steward said, somewhat out of breath.
“Gu Tianqiong urgently summons me?”
Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered. This was somewhat unexpected. Could it be that Zhang Yantong had already found him a state to serve as the Golden Envoy?
The thought flashed by quickly; Chen Yuan felt the possibility was low. It was more likely something happened in the Capital requiring his presence, hence the urgency. He nodded and said:
“I understand, you may leave.”
“This old servant takes his leave.”
The steward bowed his head and withdrew.
When facing the summon from Gu Tianqiong, Chen Yuan did not intentionally delay. Although curious, he quickly donned a Black Cloud Clothing and arrived at the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.
Now, when Chen Yuan entered the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, he no longer needed an identity token; merely showing his face sufficed.
After a series of events, few in the Capital’s Heavenly Patrol Bureau were unaware of Chen Yuan. Even if someone didn’t recognize him, those around them would inform them.
No one would blindly step up to cause trouble.
Walking straight, Chen Yuan passed without hindrance, reaching in no time the front of the Heavenly Patrol Hall. After being announced, he entered directly.
Upon entering, Chen Yuan felt an immense pressure pouring over him. His eyes narrowed, surprised, because five people were seated inside the hall.
Besides the Great Governor Gu Tianqiong, the other four Divine Envoys of Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow were also seated.
It was the first time Chen Yuan had seen such a gathering, intensifying his curiosity and instilling a faint foreboding of danger.
After all, it wasn’t a small matter for the top figures of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau to convene.
As he calculated whether he’d left any trace, he maintained a composed exterior, bowing his fist towards the five before him:
“Subordinate Chen Yuan pays respects to the Great Governor and the four Divine Envoys!”
Gu Tianqiong’s sharp gaze fell on Chen Yuan, nodding slightly:
“Yantong wasn’t wrong. Your recent training wasn’t in vain, advancing another step to the Heavenly Core Realm.”
“Of course, I wouldn’t deceive the Great Governor in such matters,” Zhang Yantong immediately echoed.
Yesterday, he came by order of Gu Tianqiong, presenting all about Chen Yuan, including his breakthrough.
He remembered the Great Governor being somewhat astonished at that time.
“Indeed, indeed, so young yet breaking through to the Heavenly Core. Our Heavenly Patrol Bureau has a promising future,” Yellow Divine Envoy Wu Tianxi stroked his beard, smiling, growing more satisfied with Chen Yuan.
“Indeed outstanding, even stronger than Jiang He,” Earth Divine Envoy Zuo Tiancheng remarked.
“Since Chen Yuan has broken through to the Heavenly Core, what the Great Governor mentioned before becomes even more appropriate,” the taciturn Heaven Divine Envoy Xiao Jing spoke.
“Indeed, Chen Yuan has achieved great feats, credentials aren’t much, and now his cultivation has caught up. Those below can’t find fault,”
Wu Tianxi added.
Listening to their conversation, Chen Yuan was bewildered, yet vaguely sensed. Could it be… about the external appointment, it seemed rather sudden.
While Chen Yuan guessed, Gu Tianqiong spoke again:
“Do you know why you’re summoned today?”
“Subordinate is unaware.”
“Good that you don’t know. Liangzhou’s Heavenly Patrol Bureau has been unstable recently. After consideration, I’m planning to give you additional duties. Are you willing?”
Gu Tianqiong fixed his gaze on Chen Yuan, seemingly asking his opinion, but his presence implied indisputability.
This was a notification!
“What is the Great Governor referring to?”
“Liangzhou Golden Envoy!”
Chen Yuan’s eyes narrowed in surprise.
This matter was unforeseen, for he initially planned to spend a stable few months, then take the opportunity to eliminate the Shuzhou Golden Envoy to secure a position.
How did it suddenly turn to Liangzhou….
“You have some skills in getting things done. I have consulted the other Divine Envoys, and no one opposed. Now we see your own willingness,
the position of a state’s Golden Envoy is good, but it also carries significant responsibilities. The previous two Golden Envoys failed, diminishing the Heavenly Patrol Bureau’s prestige. Do you believe you can handle it?”
Gu Tianqiong asked.
“Subordinate will give my all.”
Gu Tianqiong’s attitude was clear, Chen Yuan couldn’t refuse. If he truly declined, even if future chances arose, he wouldn’t be appointed to Shuzhou.
He understood this well, so after a moment’s thought, he agreed.
Regardless, leaving the Capital was beneficial, and he could find an opportunity to transfer to another state in the future.
“This Governor trusts you, do not disappoint us,” Gu Tianqiong said solemnly.
“Yes, I understand.”
With just a few words, Chen Yuan’s position as Liangzhou’s Golden Envoy was decided, although unexpected, it had to be accepted.
“You may leave; this Governor has more to instruct Chen Yuan,” Gu Tianqiong turned his gaze to the four Divine Envoys beside him, speaking softly.
“Subordinate takes leave!”
“Subordinate takes leave!”
“Subordinate takes leave!”
The four Divine Envoys stood, bowed, and slowly withdrew. Wu Tianxi walked by Chen Yuan’s side, patting his shoulder, and said with a calm smile, “Achieve results in Liangzhou and secure better promotions in the future.”
“Thank you for the advice, my lord.”
Meanwhile, Zhang Yantong gave Chen Yuan a reassuring look and then left directly.
