"Although our Phoenix City is small, it's also a land with good feng shui. We have quite a number of specialties. I didn't know Head Prefect in the past, but I'm sure Head Prefect will give me a chance to perform during the holidays." Liu Daobin hurriedly said. In fact, he did not plan on taking an official career, but after Wang Baole changed his trajectory in the Dao College, he realized that becoming an inspector seemed more suitable for him.
Especially now that he realized that everything he had learned from his father since he was young seemed to be fermenting after he became an inspector …
When Wang Baole heard Liu Daobin's words, he was very satisfied. He smiled and asked about the College Discipline Department before raising his teacup again.
He had learned the action of raising his teacup from the autobiographies of high officials. In those autobiographies, Wang Baole discovered that many high officials seemed to like drinking tea. They would sometimes hold their teacups, and a lot of knowledge was learned in the time it took to raise and put down the teacup.
Although he did not understand it very well, he felt that this action was very revealing of his status. Therefore, he imitated it.
Liu Daobin noticed Wang Baole raise his teacup and was taken aback. He recalled the actions his father usually took when he saw his subordinates. He immediately understood that Wang Baole was done with the pleasantries and was waiting for him to explain his intentions. Therefore, he took out some gifts from his bag. There were Spirit Stones, pills, and daggers that were not Dharma artifacts. He placed them to the side.
"Head Prefect, after I became an inspector, many students came to give me gifts. These gifts are very valuable. I'm terrified and unsure if I should accept them. If I accept them, I'll feel uneasy, but if I don't accept them, I'm afraid I'll disappoint their kind intentions." Liu Daobin smiled bitterly as he looked at Wang Baole. His expression was very honest.
Wang Baole's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. He had recently heard people from the College Discipline Department secretly report that Liu Daobin had accepted gifts. However, Wang Baole only remembered it and did not ask about it. At that moment, when he looked at the items, Wang Baole was very satisfied with Liu Daobin's attitude. He also felt some admiration for him.
"It's not something overly valuable. A student's heart cannot be disheartened. Take it." Wang Baole smiled and put down the teacup he had raised.
Liu Daobin had been observing Wang Baole's expression the entire time... and noticing that Wang Baole's smile was more enthusiastic than before, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. he knew that he had made the right move. Hence, he cupped his fists and thanked him........................
"Head Prefect, you don't lack anything here. I'm just offering something at your expense. Take it as a token of my sincerity. Back at the dream realm assessment, I won't dare to forget Head Prefect's life-saving grace." As Liu Daobin spoke, he cupped his fists again and pointed out the dream realm assessment. After all, this matter was fundamentally a natural advantage of his relationship with Wang Baole!
"Eh?" Wang Baole's eyes lit up. He felt that Liu Daobin seemed to be more eloquent than before. Furthermore, he could also learn new things from Liu Daobin. He felt that his words made him feel especially comfortable. He also understood the meaning behind Liu Daobin's words. His smile widened as he raised his finger and pointed at Liu Daobin.
"You, there's no need to probe. Keep it."
Liu Daobin revealed an embarrassed look, but he did not put away the item. He stood there and conversed with Wang Baole. Wang Baole did not ask him to take the gift away. After asking Liu Daobin about his studies and giving him a few words of encouragement, Wang Baole picked up his teacup again and took a sip.
This time, it was time to send him off. Wang Baole felt that with the knowledge Liu Daobin had learned from his father, he should be able to understand his thoughts. At the same time, he was very proud of his own ability in officialdom.
"Head Prefect, I have a presumptuous request. I hope that Head Prefect will agree to it on account of my conscientious and conscientious service." Liu Daobin took a deep breath, as though he did not understand Wang Baole's intentions. After cupping his fists and bowing deeply at Wang Baole, he picked up the empty bottle of Ice Spirit Water beside him with an extremely sincere expression.
"Head Prefect, can you give me this bottle?"
"What did you say?" When Wang Baole saw that Liu Daobin did not understand, he immediately frowned slightly. However, when he heard what Liu Daobin said, he was taken aback. He nearly spat out the mouthful of tea in his mouth as he looked at Liu Daobin in a daze. Wang Baole never expected Liu Daobin to ask for an empty bottle in such a serious manner.
"Head Prefect, don't underestimate this bottle. You might not know this, but in Head Prefect Pavilion, and even in the Dharmic Armament faculty, too many students are extremely impressed with you. After all, you are one of a kind to become a Head Prefect in less than a year. More importantly, with Jiang Lin's connivance, those inspectors would often use their authority to bully others. The students trembled in fear, not daring to voice their anger. But now, the College Discipline Department has been cleansed by you. Everyone is very grateful. "Liu Daobin hurriedly went forward and patted Wang Baole on the back. His tone was even more sincere.
"Everyone wishes to get a share of your immortal aura. If I were to take this bottle out, everyone would go crazy fighting for it!"
"I came here this time because I was entrusted by everyone. I hope that Head Prefect can sell the empty bottles and empty snack bags to them on account of everyone's diligence in learning." After Liu Daobin said that, he carefully looked at Wang Baole.
Wang Baole slowly took a deep breath. He had seen many instances of gifts being rejected in the high officials' autobiographies. There were all sorts of ways to give gifts, but this was the first time he had encountered something like Liu Daobin's. He could not help but have an odd expression. He wondered if this was something Liu Daobin had learned from his father.
With this in mind, Wang Baole increasingly felt that Liu Daobin's father was not simple.
"Head Prefect, please be considerate of the students and give them a chance!" When Liu Daobin said that, he bemoaned the state of the universe and pitied the fate of mankind. He bowed once again, looking as though he would not get up if Wang Baole did not agree.
Finally, under Liu Daobin's repeated pleas, Wang Baole reluctantly sighed.
"Forget it, forget it. Indeed, I cannot disappoint everyone. However, this is not to be repeated. Also, Daobin, the matters of the College Discipline Department must not disappoint everyone. You must remember this. "
Liu Daobin immediately became excited. He hurriedly expressed his thanks and secretly thought that the method his father had taught him was indeed effective. Hence, he put away the empty bottles and snack bags like they were treasures and left gratefully.
After he left, Wang Baole suddenly stood up. After walking a few rounds around the cave abode, he took out a small notebook and recorded the method Liu Daobin had used today.
"What a talent. This Liu Daobin is a talent. His father is probably even more capable. He might even become a City Lord in the future!"
Wang Baole agreed wholeheartedly, feeling that he had broadened his horizons. Deep down, he was very comfortable with the feeling of being flattered. That was especially so as the other party's flattery was ingenious, which made Wang Baole even more satisfied.
Three days quickly passed. When Liu Daobin came again, he brought more than ten bottles of pills.
These pills were actually used to assist in memory. Although the effects were not as good as those given by Zheng Liang, it could be said that they were what Wang Baole needed and worried about Wang Baole. When he saw this, Wang Baole could not help but sigh again. This Liu Daobin was indeed a talent.
He thought that he could not be cold-hearted towards such a talent. He had to give some rewards. Hence, after some thought, before Liu Daobin left, Wang Baole suddenly spoke.
"Daobin, go and investigate Sun Qifang's case."
Wang Baole had read through Sun Qifang's case when he took over the College Discipline Department. He had a detailed file and background of this person from a young age, so he knew many things that outsiders did not know. This person's family owned a weapon refinement workshop and was well-off. He was originally a student of the Dharmic Armament faculty, but he had violated the Dao College's rules and stolen a secret recipe from the Dharmic Armament faculty's Hidden Spirit Pavilion. This secret recipe recorded the method to create Spirit Kernels.
After stealing the recipe, he had planned on giving it to his family.
After all, most of the weapon refinement recipes in the entire alliance were in the hands of the four Dao Colleges, especially Ethereal Dao College's Dharmic Armament faculty. It was one of the best among the four Dao Colleges, so it had a huge collection of recipes. Furthermore, there were strict confidentiality clauses. It was very difficult for students below a certain level to come into contact with them, and even if they did, they were not allowed to spread it.
As for Sun Qifang, although he had used some means to steal the recipe, he had been discovered by the Spirit Stones Head Prefect Pavilion's inspector before he could take it away. Now, he was imprisoned in the Spirit Stones College Discipline Department, awaiting Wang Baole's decision.
As the stolen recipe was not especially important, the matter could be either serious or trivial.
When Wang Baole saw it that day, he immediately sensed that something was amiss. However, his mind was not on it, so he ignored it. He planned on getting someone to investigate the matter and deal with it impartially.
Now, seeing how tactful Liu Daobin was, he handed the case to him to handle. In the College Discipline Department, handling such cases was a symbol of authority.
"When investigating Sun Qifang, you have to be careful." Wang Baole looked at Liu Daobin. After saying that, he picked up his teacup again. This time, he did not immediately put it down.
Liu Daobin was thinking about the Sun Qifang incident that Wang Baole had mentioned. At that moment, when he saw Wang Baole holding his teacup, he immediately understood that Wang Baole was sending him off. He bid farewell and left.
Looking at Liu Daobin's departing figure, Wang Baole smiled proudly. He felt that he had learned a lot from Liu Daobin. Combined with his high officials' autobiographies, he was now very good at controlling his subordinates.
Wang Baole looked at the elixirs again. He took them out one by one and carefully observed them. After confirming that they had not been opened and that there were no problems, he happily swallowed the elixirs.
With a good mood, he continued to recite the inscriptions.
At that moment, Liu Daobin, who had just walked out of Wang Baole's cave abode, quickly contacted his father on the way back to the academy. With his father's reminder, Liu Daobin's eyes lit up.
