Chapter 774

Su Xuan also refused Heaven-Patrolling True Person Ding Moqiu's invitation, which was slightly beyond Xu Jin's expectations.

But thinking about it from the other side, in this conflict, True Person Commander Tian Zhang was clearly on Xu Jin's side, so True Person Commander Tian Zhang could not send his own top-tier genius over.

Noble families often pursue more certainty.

But in this way, it also represented that the Commander Tian Zhang Su clan and Xu Jin, and the Yutang Zhu clan, had a closer relationship.

At the same time, in this matter, Xu Jin owed True Person Commander Tian Zhang another favor.

From the details after the fact, it was learned that if True Person Commander Tian Zhang and the others had agreed to Heaven-Patrolling True Person Ding Moqiu's request from the beginning, and then ordered Xu Jin and these Daoists to go to Xuanxin Mountain for cultivation in the name of the Dongxuan Daoist palace, would Xu Jin have had room to refuse?

No!

The Imperial Venerable's Tongxuan Holy Order is not omnipotent!

It is okay to use it to resist events from Heaven-Patrolling True Person Ding Moqiu that have obvious private purposes.

But if you use the Tongxuan Holy Order to resist normal Daoist palace orders.

Believe it or not, that Imperial Venerable would know and slap Xu Jin to death from across the air.

The Tongxuan Holy Order represents opportunity, identity, and fairness, but it absolutely does not represent the privilege of resisting orders.

Therefore, upon learning that Su Xuan also refused Heaven-Patrolling True Person Ding Moqiu's invitation, Xu Jin sent a sincere starlight transmission of thanks to True Person Commander Tian Zhang.

This is a statement.

A statement that he, Xu Jin, is a person who remembers kindness and will have his own rewards in the future.

As for how to repay it in the future, it depends on how Xu Jin does it later; no matter how many empty promises are made now, they cannot deceive an old fox like True Person Commander Tian Zhang.

But having said that, cooperating with such an old fox is still quite refreshing.

Whether it's being a straight man or a nurse, it's very timely and appropriate.

Not beyond Xu Jin's expectation, Heaven-Patrolling True Person Ding Moqiu, who was full of fire, vented his anger when patrolling the Punishment Hall.

A normal patrol of a hall is only a matter of a day or two, but Ding Moqiu inspected the Punishment Hall managed by Zhu Linxiao for a full three days, which can be called sifting through a sieve.

This also corresponds to the old saying: as long as you do things, there is no possibility of not making mistakes.

Ding Moqiu really found dozens of flaws or problems from the many Punishment Hall files.

After all, when handling cases, how can it be perfect?

But there were no big problems.

In the end, Ding Moqiu gave Punishment Hall Master Zhu Linxiao a lower-middle evaluation.

The ranks of officials at all levels in the Tongxuan Domain are divided into three grades and nine levels: upper-upper, upper-middle, upper-lower, middle-upper, middle-middle, middle-lower, lower-upper, lower-middle, lower-lower.

Among them, if you are rated as lower-class, you have to leave your post or be demoted.

This evaluation was full of malice.

However, this matter could not be covered by the Heaven-Patrolling True Person alone; if the local area was to be pampered like this, wouldn't there be another master on their heads?

This evaluation was hard-headed by True Person Commander Tian Zhang; no big mistakes, no big faults, just a few flaws, so not rewarding is fine, but giving a lower-middle evaluation—who would dare to do things?

In the end, Heaven-Patrolling True Person Ding Moqiu changed Zhu Linxiao's evaluation to middle-lower!

This evaluation does not require demotion or transfer, but for at least five to ten years, it is impossible to be promoted.

Although from the current point of view, it has little impact on the Yutang Zhu clan, it disgusted Xu Jin.

This guy's actions are simply more annoying than True Person Tianfa.

While Xu Jin secretly noted this down in his heart, he continued to cultivate with all his strength.

Strength is the first priority.

Power is strength, but strength can also be power!

For several days in a row, Xu Jin was in bitter cultivation.

Even when Yuan Chengfa, Lu Zhen, Xie Hui, Li Qingchen, and others left with Heaven-Patrolling True Person Ding Moqiu, Xu Jin did not go to see them off.

He was focused on bitter cultivation.

September 6th, Tongxuan Star Realm.

True Person Tianfa hosted a banquet for Heaven-Patrolling True Person Ding Moqiu, who had returned from patrolling on behalf of the Imperial Venerable.

Naturally, he got the answer he wanted!

"It seems that this Xu Jin is the person I am looking for." In fact, in the previous large-scale investigation, True Person Tianfa already had eighty percent certainty to determine that Xu Jin was the person who snatched his Chaos Origin Material and killed his capable subordinates.

The characteristics were too obvious.

Eighth-tier peak, specializing in space and lightning-type, extraordinary combat power, young.

If it were the ninth tier, it would be really hard to find, but eighth tier is too easy.

It happened that Xu Jin made amazing military merit on the Dongxuan Isolated Island, so naturally, the target was locked on Xu Jin.

However, he asked the Heaven-Patrolling True Person for help to re-confirm Xu Jin's identity, which was secondary; the main goal was to hope to bring Xu Jin back.

As long as he was under Ding Moqiu's command, dealing with him would not be simple; frontline troops, dying in battle, is too normal.

Hearing this, Heaven-Patrolling True Person Ding Moqiu's face showed a trace of shame, "Lord, it is my incompetence; I didn't bring this kid back, but instead brought back a few burdens."

"This is not your fault!

Beforehand, I didn't expect that old man Commander Tian Zhang would care so much about this child.

And none of us expected that this child would have the Tongxuan Holy Order." True Person Tianfa was helpless and could only comfort Ding Moqiu.

"Yes, if there were no Tongxuan Holy Order, even if old man Commander Tian Zhang obstructed, I could have brought this child back for a period of time! By the way, what did this child do to make you so angry, Lord?" Heaven-Patrolling True Person Ding Moqiu asked very casually.

True Person Tianfa pointed to his own brow, "This divine ability of mine is about to be completed, and there is a lightning-type innate treasure material with special attributes that I have been eyeing for several years; I didn't expect it to be taken away by this kid, and he also killed several of my Tianyang Xingjun subordinates."

Once these words were spoken, Ding Moqiu's face changed, "Could it be the Star-Governing Lord Ba Chengfeng and the others who reported being killed in battle a few days ago!"

"Yes, they were Dao Fetus entering inside; it's a pity, it's hateful!" True Person Tianfa said angrily.

"Lord, don't worry, as long as there is an opportunity, I will definitely find a way to get this Xu Jin under my command, and then hand him over to you, Lord, to let you skin him, light a lamp, and boil oil to vent your hatred!" Ding Moqiu promised.

"Hmm, you have heart!

However, this child has the Tongxuan Holy Order in his hand; to deal with him, I'm afraid we must be extremely careful, so as not to cause trouble for ourselves."
