Chapter 138 -131 Chen Patrol Envoy! (Please subscribe)

If it weren’t for the inappropriate occasion, Nie Qi Yun really felt that Zhang Xuan would take action.

It had been the same before.

Seeing this scene, Tao Qingyuan, who was seated at the head, spoke directly:

“Although Chen Yuan has just joined the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, his merits have been witnessed by everyone, and Shangguan has repeatedly stressed the importance of nurturing young Heavenly Patrol Guards,

Now, if such a man as Chen Yuan is not promoted, wouldn’t it be laughable?”

“Furthermore, after becoming a Heavenly Patrol Envoy, Chen Yuan will still complete his merits, it’s just a step ahead.”

Nie Qi Yun furrowed his brow, sensing something unfavorable, as Tao Qingyuan seemed to hold Chen Yuan in high regard. He hurriedly clasped his hands and said:

“My lord, this really doesn’t conform to the rules…”

Tao Qingyuan raised his hand, stopping Nie Qi Yun from continuing to speak:

“This matter has already been decided by me, let’s not discuss it further…”

“I believe Patrol Envoy Chen will be up to the responsibilities of a Heavenly Patrol Envoy, everyone just wait and see.”

Nie Qi Yun glanced at Chen Yuan with a dark expression, while Chen Yuan looked back at him nonchalantly, even curving the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile.

But to Nie Qi Yun, it was more like mockery!

However, since Tao Qingyuan had spoken to this point, he could no longer change it.

After all, Tao Qingyuan was his superior, the person in charge of the entire Nanling Prefecture’s Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

“Thank you, my lord!”

Chen Yuan clasped his hands and fist in thanks.

“Servants!”

Tao Qingyuan called out softly towards the outside.

A Heavenly Patrol Guard held a tray in his hands, on which were a dark long robe and a white waist plate.

The hierarchy within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau was strict, ranking from low to high as black, white, green, gold…

All were made from special materials, and the higher the quality of the waist plate, the harder it was to damage.

The Heavenly Patrol Guard presented the clothes in front of Chen Yuan.

Under Tao Qingyuan’s signal, Chen Yuan reached out and pulled the official uniform of the Heavenly Patrol Envoy over himself, hanging the waist plate on his waist. With a face of dignified appearance, his whole demeanor became even more heroic and extraordinary.

A Heavenly Patrol Envoy, comparable to a seventh-rank official.

But they were not bound by themselves, and they were not part of the same system as the court’s official ranks.

They only took orders from Shangguan, took orders from the Emperor.

“Patrol Envoy Chen, congratulations.”

Lu Yang was the first to step forward and offer his thanks with clasped hands.

Since Tao Qingyuan had spoken, and Nie Qi Yun could not stop him, why not seek a good relationship?

There was no enmity between him and Chen Yuan.

Following Lu Yang’s lead, the rest of the Heavenly Patrol Envoys also came forward with polite greetings.

Only Nie Qi Yun looked displeased and expressed nothing.

“Alright, these are the two matters I’ve announced for today. After Patrol Envoy Zhang leaves, it’s fitting that his Heavenly Patrol Guards be transferred under Chen Yuan’s command.”

Tao Qingyuan said softly.

A few Heavenly Patrol Envoys were dissatisfied as Zhang Xuan’s Heavenly Patrol Guards were some of the most elite within Nanling Prefecture’s Heavenly Patrol Bureau. Transferring them all under Chen Yuan’s command,

Didn’t that mean that he would instantly be on an equal footing with them?

Or even stronger in terms of subordinates’ strength?

“My lord, is this not somewhat improper…”

“Indeed, as Patrol Envoy Chen has just arrived at the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, he should first familiarize himself. Transferring such elite guards under his command, isn’t that a waste of talent?”

“Exactly…”

The previously silent observers began voicing their opinions one after another.

They felt that Tao Qingyuan was perhaps being too favorable towards Chen Yuan.

They too coveted the capable people under Zhang Xuan.

Those Heavenly Patrol Guards, aside from those discovered by Zhang Xuan, also included several skillful individuals transferred from other places.

Like Yue Shan, not many within the entire Nanling Prefecture’s Heavenly Patrol Bureau could match him.

And there were experts like Yang Feng and Mo Donghe.

Efficient and clean in handling matters, previously, they didn’t dare to covet them, but now that Zhang Xuan was about to be transferred, they wanted to divide these people among themselves.

“There’s nothing to familiarize with, your words are too grave…”

Chen Yuan sneered silently in his heart and spoke openly.

“Does Patrol Envoy Chen mean that the tasks within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau are all insignificant?”

Nie Qi Yun stared closely at Chen Yuan.

“Not at all, Patrol Envoy Nie, your words are too grave. However, it seems Chen has not offended you, so why… does Patrol Envoy Nie look unfavorably upon Chen?” Chen Yuan didn’t shy away from his gaze.

All were Heavenly Patrol Envoys.

Who then would fear whom?

Not to mention with Tao Qingyuan and Zhang Xuan here, a fight would simply not break out, and even if it did, Chen Yuan was not without strength to fight back!

His character was not one to submit meekly.

Worst comes to worst, it would just be a fight!

Lu Yang and several other Heavenly Patrol Envoys watched with interest as Chen Yuan clashed directly with Nie Qi Yun… Didn’t he fear that after Zhang Xuan left, Nie Qi Yun would target him?

Zhang Xuan was serene and composed, showing no intention of speaking.

Nie Qi Yun looked around and his rigid face relaxed, revealing a warm smile:

“How could I possibly look unfavorably upon Patrol Envoy Chen? I was merely thinking of Patrol Envoy Chen’s best interests.”

“Then, thank you, Patrol Envoy Nie.”

With a smile, Nie Qi Yun then sat down.

Starting a conflict now would not only displease Tao Qingyuan, leading him to think Nie had no capacity to accommodate others—to the point of singling out a new colleague—but it might also provoke Zhang Xuan to take action.

The loss wouldn’t be worth the gain…

After Zhang Xuan left, there would be plenty of chances to suppress this young man!

“The Heavenly Patrol Guards under my command are, of course, for me to decide on. There is no objection from me to assign them under Chen Yuan’s command. Gentlemen, does anyone have any objections?”

Zhang Xuan spoke, his voice steady.

“Hehe… Since Patrol Envoy Zhang has said so, then naturally, we will not object.”

“It’s not an objection, just a little against the rules…”

“Alright, I am here to inform you, not to ask for your decisions. What, have you already completed all your tasks?” Tao Qingyuan asked in a low voice.

A few Heavenly Patrol Envoys smiled broadly and said no more.

They were not like Zhang Xuan, who was highly regarded by Tao Qingyuan, and their talents were not outstanding either. At least, the Reach Profound Realm was quite a hurdle for them.

“Alright, let’s stop discussing today’s matters. Chen Yuan, the rewards for your promotion to Heavenly Patrol Envoy will be sent to you later,” Tao Qingyuan waved his hand.

“Thank you, my lord.”

Chen Yuan quickly said.

Tao Qingyuan nodded:

“The next matters will be handed over to you by Patrol Envoy Zhang.”

After saying this, Tao Qingyuan stepped forward, a faint whiff of Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy fluctuations around him. His figure blurred with a trailing afterimage and vanished from everyone’s sight.

Once Tao Qingyuan had left, Nie Qi Yun looked towards Zhang Xuan:

“I should congratulate Patrol Envoy Zhang on his promotion to Reach Profound first.”

“Hmm…”

Zhang Xuan’s eyelids drooped slightly as he nodded in acknowledgment.

Nie Qi Yun did not say much more and left the hall with a calm expression.

“Patrol Envoy Chen, from now on we are colleagues. I hope we can exchange more in the future…” Lu Yang walked up to Chen Yuan’s side.

“Patrol Envoy Lu speaks the truth. I hope for more advice from Patrol Envoy Lu in the future.”

Chen Yuan’s face was a smile that was not quite a smile.

“Good talk, good talk…”

Lu Yang chuckled, gave a respectful bow to Zhang Xuan, and turned to leave.

The other Heavenly Patrol Envoys did the same. In a short while, only Zhang Xuan and Chen Yuan remained in the great hall.

“After I leave, Nie Qi Yun will likely not sit still. Give way when possible, but if he pushes you too far… go find Tao Qingyuan. When I return, it will be time to deal with him,” Zhang Xuan said with an indifferent expression.

“Right.”

Chen Yuan responded concisely.

Zhang Xuan was looking out for him. Nie Qi Yun was a strongman of the Heavenly Gang Level, and even though he was no match for Zhang Xuan, dealing with him should be no big deal.

However…

What Zhang Xuan did not know was that Chen Yuan actually possessed the ability to kill with a single strike.

Once struck by the Blood Evil Saber, Nie Qi Yun would either die or be gravely injured.

“As for Lu Yang, Zhu Chong, and others, be wary of them as well. These guys are not easy to deal with. In short, if you want to wield power within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, you will inevitably clash with them,

unless your strength is enough to deter them from entertaining any foolish thoughts.”

Zhang Xuan’s own strength was like that. Lu Yang and others already did not dare to oppose him and even spoke with a hint of flattery.

As for Nie Qi Yun, he was publicly humiliated by Zhang Xuan, with no chance of reconciliation.

“Don’t worry, Lord, I understand.”

Chen Yuan was familiar with the struggles for interests.

“Let’s go. It’s time to say goodbye to Yue Shan and others, and also to get acquainted with you, the new Heavenly Patrol Envoy!”

Zhang Xuan’s mouth curved into a smile as he stood up.

…

…

Inside the office of the government bureau where Zhang Xuan worked.

Nearly ten Heavenly Patrol Guards were standing.

Yue Shan, Yang Feng, Yan Qing, Han Jun, and Mo Donghe were all present, divided into two groups. One was led by Yue Shan and Yang Feng, the other by Mo Donghe.

There was a clear division between the two groups.

Chen Yuan and Zhang Xuan stood at the head of the room.

“I called you all here today for two reasons. First, I will soon be leaving Nanling Prefecture without a set return date. Second, I want to introduce a new Heavenly Patrol Envoy to everyone.”

Zhang Xuan said without beating around the bush.

Yue Shan and the others looked at each other. As for the first matter, they somewhat understood and accepted it, but the second matter left them contemplative,

only Yang Feng glanced at Chen Yuan standing beside Zhang Xuan, deep in thought.

“No need to guess, this new Patrol Envoy is Chen Yuan. He broke through to Gang Condensation yesterday. Today, Lord Qing has already appointed him as a Patrol Envoy,

and he will take over my position.”

Zhang Xuan didn’t keep them in suspense.

Yue Shan and the others looked at Chen Yuan in shock, completely unprepared for his silent rise to the position of a Patrol Envoy and wondering when he had broken through.

Mo Donghe looked at Chen Yuan calmly, sizing him up without saying much.

His only memory of Chen Yuan was from the news that spread yesterday of Chen leading people to raid Yang Wanlou’s home and recovering the missing silver.

Beyond that, he had no other impression.

He wasn’t particularly interested in meddling with others’ affairs.

But given Chen Yuan’s promotion, he felt a sense of urgency. He knew Zhang Xuan might be on the verge of a breakthrough, spending this time refining his body to achieve Perfection before advancing.

Unfortunately, he was still one step behind.

“Greetings to Lord Chen!”

“Patrol Envoy Chen!”

“Lord Chen…”

After a few moments of stillness, Mo Donghe was the first to pay his respects, showing no discomfort.

Yang Feng and others, previously introduced to Chen Yuan by Yue Shan, appeared somewhat uncomfortable, knowing they could no longer interact with him as before.
