Chapter 627: 192 Chapter: Re-encountering Shen Ji Yue! Must be humble in front of Daoist Priest Fan! (10,000-word Chapter asking for subscription)_1
The Divine Inspector from Qintian Department who encountered Fan Wu in an inn at Guyuan County was a female Divine Inspector. She was also an acquaintance of Fan Wu’s, at least... Fan Wu could remember her name.
Perhaps it was because the magic artifact she wielded was so eye-catching and unforgettable.
As a result, Fan Wu could still recall her, as well as her name.
Shen Ji Yue—remarkably, she was the Chief Flag Officer of Bai He County!
It was before the first escape of the Destiny Coffin that, during that period, Fan Wu met this female Divine Inspector and Chief Flag Officer for the first time and exchanged a few words.
Of course...
It was mainly she who initiated the conversation.
Maybe because of his own personality, Fan Wu did not like to start conversations with others; he only responded briefly when someone else spoke to him.
"Taoist Priest Fan, how are you here?" Shen Ji Yue was quite surprised.
She hadn’t expected to run into Fan Wu at this place.
This genuinely surprised her, something she hadn’t anticipated.
"Just passing through." In response to Shen Ji Yue’s curious inquiry, Fan Wu simply replied.
"I see!" Shen Ji Yue sighed deeply, "I thought that after our parting, there would be no chance to meet again. Yet here we are, meeting once more, and in this place no less."
Especially considering the rumors she had heard about Taoist Priest Fan back in Bai He County, she felt all the more sentimental.
It hadn’t been that long since they last met!
Taoist Priest Fan had already become so impressive that it felt like they were people from two different worlds, now existing at completely different levels.
And she, Shen Ji Yue the Divine Inspector and Chief Flag Officer, belonged to the somewhat lower level.
While this Taoist Priest Fan from Qiulong Temple belonged to that higher level!
"Taoist Priest Fan, are these gentlemen your companions?" Shen Ji Yue noticed the few people behind Fan Wu.
Whether it was Xing Fengzi, Yun Jiuqing, or Liu Feng, in her eyes, they were all cultivators.
Because she could sense...
Mana fluctuations from all three individuals!
"Mhm." Fan Wu nodded slightly, the three people traveling with him could be considered companions, after all.
"So all three of you are companions of Taoist Priest Fan. I am Shen Ji Yue, Chief Flag Officer of the Divine Inspectors from Bai He County, Nanjun Prefecture," Shen Ji Yue introduced herself, "I came to Guyuan County because of the assignment from above. I’ve just arrived less than two hours ago and haven’t had the chance to get properly acquainted with this county."
"I am Xing Fengzi, from Di Zu Guan."
"Me me me! My name is Yun Jiuqing, from the Nanjun Prefecture government side!" Yun Jiuqing was quite enthusiastic, perhaps because she saw that the other party was also a woman.
"Liu... Liu Feng." Liu Feng swallowed nervously, feeling that the people he had met recently were all extraordinary. By chance, he had encountered a woman who was a Chief Flag Officer of the Divine Inspectors.
He felt this Chief Flag Officer was unfathomable.
At a glance, he knew she was someone he couldn’t afford to provoke, probably able to pin him to the ground with one hand and pummel him mercilessly.
Thinking about that scenario made him shiver.
Luckily...
He was not some wicked villain.
"Chief Officer Shen, why have you traveled all this way from Bai He County to Guyuan County?" As soon as Yun Jiuqing asked this question, she felt a bit foolish.
After all, the other party was a Chief Flag Officer of the Divine Inspectors. Coming to Guyuan County, she must have important business.
That’s certainly confidential!
However...
Against Yun Jiuqing’s expectations, Shen Ji Yue actually revealed the purpose of her visit openly: "I’m not particularly clear about the specific reasons. The order from above, given to me by the Qintian Department, is that there are some problems with the God of the Earth in Guyuan County, and the whole county is attracting the attention of various parties. It’s necessary to mobilize Divine Inspectors from all regions to stabilize the situation here."
"I have just arrived and haven’t had time to visit the Divine Inspectors of Guyuan County, nor have I had the chance to ask what exactly has happened here. The superior said it’s a problem with the God of the Earth, but what kind of problem can arise with a righteous deity?"
As she spoke, Shen Ji Yue herself felt strange, but she continued, "Having said that, this county town indeed seems a bit odd. Along the way here, I saw many cultivators, many of whom have unclear identities."
"Among these cultivators, I could tell at a glance that they are not good people. It’s just that there’s no evidence at the moment, so it’s not easy to take action against them."
Even for the Divine Inspectors, who are often domineering in their actions, when it comes to arresting someone, evidence is certainly required.
If someone is arbitrarily arrested without evidence, then her hat as a Chief Flag Officer of the Divine Inspectors...
Would probably have to be taken off.
Moreover.
Sometimes appearances can be deceiving.
To rashly trust one’s first impression of others is not wise; it could be a misunderstanding, after all.
After all, when Shen Ji Yue first met Fan Wu, she too thought that Fan Wu was a bandit who had come down from the mountains. Who would have thought that such a Fan Wu would turn out to be the disciple of a highly enlightened person?
