Wang Baole suppressed the excitement in his heart and immediately stood up to express his thanks. Chen Yutong smiled and pulled him back to his seat. After a short conversation, when Wang Baole was about to leave, Chen Yutong personally sent him out of the pavilion and spoke with a smile.
"Junior Brother Baole, I look forward to the day you become an Armament Soldier. The qualification to become an Armament Soldier is to refine third-grade spirit treasures! The Dharmic Armament Pavilion holds an Armament Soldier promotion competition every year. I hope Junior Brother will work hard! "
After watching Wang Baole leave, Chen Yutong picked up his spirit tea and took a sip. A smile appeared on his face, and he seemed to be very happy. Not long after, the main team leader who had sent Wang Baole off and returned came before Chen Yutong. He seemed to have something to say but stopped himself.
Chen Yutong glanced at him and spoke plainly.
"Zhou Penghai, do you think that I'm biased towards Wang Baole? I've just arrived, and I've immediately given him the authority to supervise all the senior team leaders, making him second only to me in the College Administrative Department?"
The youth in blue was shocked and immediately lowered his head.
"I wouldn't dare."
After hearing the youth in blue's words, Chen Yutong's expression was calm. She stood up and looked out of the window.
She spoke calmly, "Wang Baole has an eight-inch True Breath Spirit Root and has contributed greatly to the Ethereal Dao College. Although he has just been promoted to Upper Academy Island, many important people are already paying attention to him from time to time.
"Is such a person going to be an Armament Disciple for the rest of his life? I wasn't being polite. His promotion to an Armament Soldier is indeed imminent!
"As for me, I can't be an Armament Soldier forever … So, treat him like how you treat me!" Chen Yutong looked at the youth in blue after she finished speaking.
The youth's breathing quickened, and he was even more shocked than before. He understood what Chen Yutong meant. Her words hinted that perhaps in the future, Wang Baole would replace Chen Yutong and become the person in charge of the College Administrative Department!
Therefore, he quickly agreed respectfully. He had already made up his mind to interact more with Wang Baole in the future and not to offend him.
"Most of the people in the College Administrative Department don't know Junior Baole. It's already late today. Remember to inform everyone tomorrow." Chen Yutong picked up her teacup.
The blue-robed young man immediately nodded. As he left respectfully, he thought about what Chen Yutong had said, and his heart burned with passion.
As for Chen Yutong, she smiled faintly as she watched the departing figure of the blue-robed young man. Although what he had said before was true, it was not complete.
"If it weren't for the fact that so many people are paying attention to Junior Martial Brother Baole, Master would have accepted him as a personal disciple long ago. Furthermore, I haven't known him for long, so it's not convenient for me to say anything. However, this is also good. Junior Martial Brother Baole is a person who clearly distinguishes between kindness and hatred. He won't forget the kindness that Martial Uncle Lu, Master, and I have shown him. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's half a Junior Martial Brother of mine. Chen Yutong narrowed her eyes. She thought about what her Master had said to her and her understanding of Ethereal Dao College. Gradually, a glint flashed across her eyes.
"Martial Uncle Lu has already secured his position as the Chancellor of the Lower Academy Island. No one can shake his position. This is the foundation of our lineage. Next, we just have to wait for Grandmaster to be promoted to Deputy Sect Leader. Once he succeeds, Master will become the Great Elder of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion. When that time comes, the only ones in our lineage who can support each other and move forward in this generation will be Junior Martial Brother Baole and I."
"Junior Martial Brother Baole, you have to work hard and become an Armament Soldier as soon as possible!" Chen Yutong smiled with anticipation in her eyes.
His Master was the one who had given Wang Baole the storage bracelet back on the Lower Academy Island and thought highly of him. As for his Martial Uncle, he was naturally the old physician of the Lower Academy Island.
At the same time, Wang Baole, who was walking out of the College Administrative Department, was still in a daze. Although he had accepted the position and was excited, this matter was too strange. He did not believe that Chen Yutong would bestow upon him the position of Inspector Team Leader just because of the short period of time he had established a personal relationship with her.
Wang Baole was very clear about the significance of this position.
"This can be said to be the second most important person in the College Administrative Department." Wang Baole took a deep breath, and a look of contemplation appeared in his eyes. He also did not believe that he had received such preferential treatment because he had achieved a breakthrough in his eight-inch Spirit Root. However, after thinking for a long time, he still could not figure it out. However, after taking a few steps, Wang Baole suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"There is one possibility … If Chen Yutong's Master is the Elder who had given me the storage bracelet and jade scroll back on the Lower Academy Island … then the two of them and the Chancellor are of the same lineage … and the Chancellor treats me very well …" When Wang Baole thought of this, various stories from the high officials' autobiographies immediately appeared in his mind. After a while, he seemed to have understood something.
"Lineage?" Wang Baole's heart jolted. These two words had always been lofty and mysterious in his heart. Now that he had vaguely understood them, even though he was still skeptical, he was still very excited.
However, he was also worried that he had misunderstood. After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth.
"I don't care. Anyway, I am now the leader of the inspection team!" When he thought of this, Wang Baole no longer pondered over why Chen Yutong had promoted him. However, Wang Baole had a principle in life, and that was, he would always remember the kindness that others had shown him. This was something that his Old Wang had taught him many times when he was very young.
At the same time, the high officials' autobiographies had also mentioned it many times. As a result, this concept had been deeply ingrained in Wang Baole's mind, and had become a principle, just like his holding grudges.
At this moment, he was in a good mood. Thinking of how he had not only been promoted to an Armament Disciple, but had also become an important person in the College Administrative Department, Wang Baole felt happy. However, he also knew that most of the people in the College Administrative Department did not recognize him, especially his own inspection team. However, as the news spread, the entire College Administrative Department would know him in a few days.
"I have to cherish this peaceful time of keeping a low profile." As Wang Baole sighed, he felt like he was walking in the dark. On his way back to his cave residence, Wang Baole paused when he passed by the market in the valley where the attic he used to live in was located.
It was currently dusk, the busiest time in the market. While the hubbub of voices was heard, there were also bursts of fragrant aroma. Wang Baole took a whiff, and his appetite was whetted. He was a little conflicted.
"Forget it, forget it. It's rare for me to be so happy today. I'll just treat it as a reward for myself!" When he thought of this, Wang Baole immediately felt the pressure on him disappear. His eyes lit up as he ran straight for the market.
Before long, Wang Baole was hugging a bucket of braised eggs and munching on fried potatoes in the bustling market. He ate happily as he walked. Looking at the stalls around him and seeing that there were many disciples who were similar in size to him, Wang Baole felt that the market was a good place to be.
Not only did this place have food, but there were also many miscellaneous items. It could be said that this place had all the daily necessities of life, and there was a wide variety of them. Although the prices were slightly higher, it saved the disciples the time of traveling to and from Ethereal City, so it was considered fair.
At this moment, Wang Baole picked up the braised eggs and put them in his mouth. He was full of enjoyment. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed a snack shop. When he used to live nearby, he would patronize this shop almost every time he came here.
Wang Baole's eyes lit up when he noticed that there was a new product on the advertisement board outside the shop. He hurried over. The shop owner was a middle-aged man who had been on Upper Academy Island for seven years. Unfortunately, he was still an ordinary disciple at the first level of the True Breath realm. When he noticed Wang Baole's arrival, he immediately greeted him warmly.
After Wang Baole walked in, he waved his hand and said generously, "Old Liu, how's business recently? Give me a hundred packets of these new snacks!"
The middle-aged shop owner was also very happy. Every time Wang Baole came, he would be very generous with his purchases, and this made him very happy. At this moment, he was preparing snacks for Wang Baole as he spoke with a smile.
"Senior Brother Wang, I haven't seen you in a long time. This time, I'll give you three more packets!"
When Wang Baole heard this, he nodded happily. During this period of time on Upper Academy Island, even though he did not go out much, he knew through the Spirit Intranet that the disciples who set up stalls here did not have very high qualifications. It was also due to luck that they were able to get into Upper Academy Island. It was true that they were True Breath cultivators, but most of them had broken through with one or two inches of Spirit Root.
To them, they were considered superior in front of ordinary people. However, on Upper Academy Island where the strong were everywhere, they were considered the lowest level. Everything here required materials for cultivation, and they were expensive. It was difficult for them to sustain themselves, so there was such a market. Here, they could earn money to support their own cultivation.
Only this place was formed by the disciples on their own accord, so it was not considered official. Although it was registered with the College Administrative Department, the items that were permitted were mostly materials and equipment required for refining weapons.
In the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, there were too many sellers of materials and other items, and the cost was high. This was especially so when the Dharmic Armament Pavilion itself sold to the disciples. Therefore, to this market, it was not as popular as selling food and drinks. Naturally, these poor disciples who set up stalls slowly began to sell food and drinks.
Regarding this, the College Administrative Department mostly turned a blind eye. However, they would occasionally clear and control the scale and scope of the market. Due to the Dharmic Armament Pavilion's rules and regulations, they could not avoid this.
When Wang Baole thought of this, he understood the difficulties of these people and smiled.
"Old Liu, you're still the best at doing business. Forget it, give me three boxes of that Ice Spirit Water too!" When he finished speaking, Wang Baole looked around, intending to see if there were any snacks that he had not eaten yet.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged shop owner was even happier. He hurriedly wrapped up Wang Baole and quickly placed more than a hundred bags of snacks and three boxes of Ice Spirit Water in front of Wang Baole.
Wang Baole was satisfied and was about to take out the spirit stones when suddenly, a flurry of footsteps came from outside. There were even shouts and sounds of panic.
"The College Administrative Department is here!"
"Damn it, didn't they just come yesterday? Why are they here again today?"
Amidst the commotion, the expression of the middle-aged shop owner beside Wang Baole changed instantly. Wang Baole also turned his head to look outside in surprise. Instantly, he saw a group of more than ten disciples dressed in the robes of the College Administrative Department, led by a few Armament Disciples, walking into the market. Everywhere they passed, there was chaos, if not chaos.
As for the disciples of the College Administrative Department, they were like fiends. Along the way, they rudely destroyed all the stalls, causing the shop owners to bitterly not dare to stop them. They could only suppress their anxiety and hurriedly whisper sweet nothings to them.
Seeing this scene, Wang Baole frowned.
