Yuchi was considering Guan Siyu's reputation and interests. As Guan Siyu's personal disciple, Guan Siyu's interests were his interests. That was why he had said those words today.
However, he hadn't expected Guan Siyu to be so sensitive about Chu Yuansheng's matters. His actions had angered his master!
At that moment, the door to the study was pushed open, and a fragrant wind blew in. Mei Qinglian walked in and waved her hand. She looked at Yuchi and said, "Did you make Master angry again? Really. "
As she spoke, Mei Qinglian walked behind Guan Siyu and squeezed his shoulder. "Alright, Master. Yuchi is still young after all. He didn't think before speaking. It's actually not a big deal."
With Mei Qinglian's arrival, Guan Siyu's terrifying aura vanished, allowing Yuchi to heave a sigh of relief.
Mei Qinglian said to Yuchi, "Aren't you going to apologize to your master? Remember, Master naturally has his reasons for doing things. Why is a young man like you meddling in? "
Yuchi immediately bowed to Guan Siyu and said, "Master, this disciple was wrong. I won't dare to do it again."
"Leave." Guan Siyu waved her hand in annoyance and let Yuchi leave.
Yuchi bowed to Mei Qinglian and said, "Thank you, Master's wife."
Yuchi's attitude toward Mei Qinglian was even a little fearful. This woman was also his master's wife, but he didn't even dare to look at her.
After Yuchi left, Guan Siyu touched Mei Qinglian's hand behind her and sighed. "He's too selfish. Even Yuchi, the disciple I personally raised, now has selfish thoughts."
Mei Qinglian hugged Guan Siyu's neck and whispered in his ear, "Everyone has desires. Master, you can't control them even if you want to. Yuchi is still too young and can't see that far. The Guanzhong torture room is flourishing in your hands. No matter how famous the descendants of the Chu family are, they can't be more famous than you, Master. Even if you give the position to Chu Yuansheng now, he won't dare to take it. Yuchi, you're worrying for nothing. "
Glancing at the pile of documents on the table, Mei Qinglian softly said, "Let's deal with these tomorrow. This servant has stewed chicken soup. Master should rest early after eating."
Guan Siyu patted Mei Qinglian's hand and said with a smile, "Madam still cares about me. Alright, I'll deal with it tomorrow."
If others saw Guan Siyu's current appearance, they would surely be greatly shocked.
This was because Guan Siyu usually gave people the impression that she was impartial, even to the point of being unreasonable. Most of the warriors in the Guanzhong torture room had never seen Guan Siyu smile.
Moreover, Guan Siyu was also a person with extreme self-discipline. She had strict rules for her daily cultivation time and official business time. She could do more, but she couldn't do less. She casually pushed what needed to be done today to tomorrow. This was not something that Guan Siyu would do.
The next morning, Yuchi arrived at Chu Xiu's residence early in the morning, preparing to follow Chu Xiu to Yanxi.
At this moment, Yuchi's expression didn't change at all. He still wore a faint smile on his face, as if he wasn't the person who had been scolded by Guan Siyu to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat.
The area of Guanzhong was very large, even larger than the Northern Yan region of Yanxi.
From Guanzhong to Guanxi, Chu Xiu and Yuchi walked for a full seven days.
The Guanxi torture chamber branch was in Jiuhua City. It was also a small city, but it was also abnormally prosperous.
Guanxi was close to West Chu, and Jiuhua City was the center of Guanxi. Merchants from West Chu conducted business here. As soon as they entered the city, Chu Xiu could feel a bustling atmosphere.
Yuchi said, "There are many merchants from West Chu in Guanxi, so there are many West Chu products that are extremely rare in the outside world. Brother Chu, you can come and take a look when you have time. Before I came, I already sent a message to Lord Wei Jiuduan, the Guanxi torture chamber branch. He should be waiting for you in the Guanxi torture chamber branch. Let's go directly to the torture chamber. "
Chu Xiu nodded and followed Yuchi to the Guanxi torture chamber branch.
The Guanxi torture chamber branch was basically a smaller version of the Guanzhong torture room. However, the signboard was ordinary black iron with the words "Guanxi Torture Chamber Branch" written on it.
As soon as they entered the torture chamber, a few constables greeted them at the door. One of them said, "Lord Yuchi, Lord Wei is already waiting inside."
Yuchi nodded and followed Chu Xiu into the meeting hall.
There were six people in the meeting hall, and one of them was sitting in the main seat. He looked like a skinny old man dressed in black. His hair was already white, but he had an imposing aura about him.
The old man's eyes were sharp, and he was playing with two iron balls carved with golden dragon patterns. The most eye-catching thing about him was that he only had four fingers on his right hand. This person was Chu Xiu's future boss, the Guanxi Torture Chamber's Nine Finger Soul Chasing Wei Jiuduan. He was a great master in the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm, but he didn't give Chu Xiu the feeling that he was as strong as the Heavenly Sin Branch Leader.
There were five people sitting below Wei Jiuduan. They were all inspectors under Wei Jiuduan's command. Some of them had reached the level of Three Flowers at One's Prominence, while others had even stepped into the Five Qis Origin Realm. At that moment, all five of them were also sizing up Chu Xiu.
Yuchi cupped his hands at Wei Jiuduan and said, "Greetings, Master Wei."
Wei Jiuduan smiled and said, "Yuchi, you don't have to be so polite. I have already received the news from the torture chamber headquarters."
Although Wei Jiuduan's strength and status were much higher than Yuchi's, his attitude toward Yuchi was very kind.
Everyone in the Guanzhong torture room knew that Yuchi was Guan Siyu's direct disciple, and he was the kind who was raised from a young age.
Although the next head of the Guanzhong torture room didn't necessarily have to be the direct disciple of the previous head, Yuchi was definitely someone who the torture chamber focused on training. Coupled with his identity as Guan Siyu's direct disciple, Wei Jiuduan's attitude toward him was very polite.
Yuchi pointed at Chu Xiu beside him and said, "This is Chu Xiu. He was assigned by my master to be an inspector under Master Wei. He was personally recommended by Master Chu Yuansheng, so he can be considered a distant relative of Master Chu. It just so happens that one of your inspectors has just died, so the torture chamber headquarters has added another one for you. "
Chu Xiu walked out and cupped his hands. "Greetings, Master Wei."
At this moment, Wei Jiuduan and the others all turned to look at Chu Xiu, sizing him up.
In the beginning, Wei Jiuduan didn't take this matter seriously. It was a good thing for him that the higher-ups were giving him more manpower. In the past few years, the strength of his Guanxi torture chamber branch had been getting weaker and weaker. There were only five inspectors left, and the strongest of the four torture chambers, the Guandong torture chamber, had sixteen inspectors. Wei Jiuduan couldn't even compare to a fraction of that number.
But now that he saw that Chu Xiu was only in the Physical Invulnerability Realm, Wei Jiuduan was a little dissatisfied.
How many years had it been since someone in the Physical Invulnerability Realm could become an inspector? Although his Guanxi torture chamber branch was weak, it wasn't a problem to find dozens of Physical Invulnerability Realm martial artists. This way, he could have dozens of inspectors under him.
But now that he heard Yuchi say that this Chu Xiu was recommended by Chu Yuansheng and could be considered a distant relative of the Chu family, Wei Jiuduan was relieved and didn't say anything more.
He knew Chu Yuansheng's position in the Guanzhong torture room. Even he himself was a veteran of the Guanzhong torture room. He had experienced the period when Chu Kuangge was in charge of the Guanzhong torture room.
If Chu Yuansheng came looking for him directly and asked Chu Xiu to become an inspector under him, Wei Jiuduan might be in a difficult position. But since it was an order from the hall master, there was nothing more to say.
So Wei Jiuduan directly said to Chu Xiu, "Not bad. The person recommended by Hero Chu is definitely not wrong. Go and sit at the side."
Wei Jiuduan didn't say anything, but the other five inspectors didn't feel comfortable.
The five of them were all veterans of the Guanzhong Torture Hall. They had started from the lowest level of Jianghu constables and were promoted to Jianghu constables. Finally, after accumulating merits and strength, they were able to become Patrol Envoys.
But why did Chu Xiu become an inspector the moment he arrived? Most importantly, he was only in the Physical Invulnerability Realm, the same as the constables under him. But now, he was on equal footing with them. Why?
In the Jianghu, it was common to judge one's strength based on strength. It was the same for Chu Xiu when he was in the Blue Dragon Society. Before he showed his strength, the people in the Blue Dragon Society weren't friendly.
But the environment of the Guanzhong torture room was much more complicated than that of the Blue Dragon Society. In the Guanzhong torture room, not only did you have strength, but you also had to have experience.
But now, Chu Xiu had nothing. He entered through the back door. Of course, this made the others unhappy.
Chu Xiu didn't care about these things. Instead, he was confused about what Yuchi said just now.
Just now, Yuchi emphasized that he relied on Chu Yuansheng to enter the Guanzhong torture room. What did he mean?
Was he afraid that the others didn't know that this was just a simple explanation, or was there some deeper meaning?
But Yuchi's attitude was too well hidden. Chu Xiu couldn't see through his thoughts.
Yuchi took out the warrant and handed it to Wei Jiuduan, saying, "Lord Wei, I've brought the leader and the people. I have to report back to the main hall."
Wei Jiuduan smiled and said, "Hall Master still needs you to help with some chores. You're very busy, so I won't keep you. Send my regards to Hall Master."
Yuchi smiled and immediately turned to leave.
After Yuchi left, Wei Jiuduan looked at Chu Xiu and said in a deep voice, "Chu Xiu, since Hall Master arranged for you to be a Patrol, it means that Hall Master thinks highly of you. I also hope that you won't disappoint Hall Master.
My previous Patrol, Fang Zhengyuan, died in an accident. His subordinates and the area he was in charge of will be handed over to you.
You only need to remember one thing. The Guanzhong torture room has its own rules. There are rules in the open and in the dark. If you break the rules, even if you were recommended to the Torture Hall by Hero Chu, you won't be let off lightly! "
