Chapter 362: Handling the Demon Beast Conference

Yu Lin is setting out to return to the Civil Affairs Bureau today.

Because the bureau is holding a meeting to discuss how to handle the Demon Beasts that have recently appeared in the country, and he is the one who caused the current situation, he obviously cannot be absent.

However.

He arrived in Jiang Cheng alone, but left with four people.

On the high-speed train.

He lowered his head to scroll through videos, selectively ignoring Diao Chan and Li Ya beside him, while glancing at Shi Koudi, who was also looking down at a book with an air of tranquil years, and thought to himself.

Could these two be as ladylike and artistic as Shi Koudi…?

Hmm, but if so, they wouldn't be themselves anymore.

Yu Lin shifted his attention to his phone and swiped to the next video:

【The love‑hate saga between Lv Bu and Dong Zhuo, a historical revelation from back then!】

【According to unofficial histories, Diao Chan disguised herself as Lv Bu, stole the Fangtian Painting Halberd and the Red Hare, charged alone into Dong Zhuo's residence, the two exchanged few words, and Diao Chan acted swiftly.】

【She raised her hand and the blade fell… instantly slaying Dong Zhuo, then transformed into a female knight, roaming the Human World with chivalry.】

【This is the unofficial record of our Xia Guo's female war goddess Diao Chan. Follow me; next time we'll talk about Cao Cao's night raid on Guan Yu, Liu Bei's incompetence…】

Yu Lin: ".........."

"That's enough unofficial history."

"Brother, actually it's not true."

"Hmm?"

Yu Lin looked at Diao Chan, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you referring to the incident where you pretended to be Lv Bu, or to Cao Cao's night raid on Guan Yu?"

Diao Chan, seeing his attention on her, gave Li Ya a provocative glance, then raised a finger and laughed, "Obviously the first one!"

"What he says is mostly correct, just some details differ."

"Back then I didn't steal the Fangtian Painting Halberd or the Red Hare; they were of no use to me, I went straight to kill Dong Zhuo."

"Because Lv Bu wanted to court me, I told him I'd consider it if he went to kill Dong Zhuo. He hesitated, not decisive at all, so I simply used illusion to confuse him."

"After I made him believe it, I killed Dong Zhuo..."

After hearing her explanation, Yu Lin nodded, "Hmm, I understand."

"As long as it's fine."

He didn't ask any further questions.

Just as he said, as long as it's fine, the rest doesn't matter.

Li Ya suddenly interjected, "Brother."

"Did you go to Yingguo before? Something happened in Yingguo."

Yu Lin, hearing that, looked at her again, "What is it?"

"I heard the Yingguo royal family dug a person out of a lake, named Arthur, and also discovered the legendary Holy Grail, but Arthur held it in his arms and fell into a deep sleep. The royal family tried every method to wake him, but only found a cloth at his sleeve with the character 'Yu' on it."

"A while ago when I went to Yingguo, there was a weird old man named Merlin who begged me to bring him to Xia Guo. He said that because of some matters, he was expelled by Xia Guo and cannot re-enter for over ten years."

"..........."

Poor Arthur, but what's up with Merlin? Could he have had some incident with the Heavenly Court?

Hmm, being barred for over ten years probably isn't a big deal.

It seems that during this trip to the Late Eastern Han period, many interesting things happened...........

Yu Lin didn't think further, waved his hand and said, "He is my second disciple, no need to mind him."

"As for Merlin, hmm, also no need to mind him."

"Anything else?"

As soon as he said that,

the rest of the journey was basically spent in back‑and‑forth banter between Diao Chan and Li Ya, with Shi Koudi chiming in from time to time.

It was a bit noisy, but not bad.

By the time the four of them arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, it was already evening.

Yu Lin had a few reception staff at the bureau escort them to guest rooms, then he returned to his own dormitory.

Before he entered, he heard from inside:

"White Tiger, what are you doing? Come up!"

"Long Ge, what do you say I'm doing? Look at the qilin, it just took what you burst out!"

"What?! Qilin, open your backpack and let me see!"

"Long Ge, I didn't. You know I couldn't do that. Hey, reinforcements are here! Hurry up, hurry up!"

"Wait, I'll teach you a lesson later..."

Yu Lin: "............"

Fine, as long as they're happy.

Regarding Yu Lin's entrance, the three Dragon Lords didn't give much heed, merely saying, "Back?" and then plunged back into the fight.

No one knows how long they fought; hmm, perhaps they kept fighting, since they don't need rest like humans.

If they were to work a job, they'd be nuclear‑powered beasts of burden!

After Yu Lin took a shower, he was invited out by the newly off‑duty Bai Xiaoxia, Qin Zhao, and a few others.

He thought about it and simply brought Diao Chan and the other three along.

The night was spent at the gathering.

Until the next day.

Civil Affairs Bureau conference room.

Accompanied by a stream of escort vehicles rolling in, the bigwigs of each department and the great powers of the cultivation world all gathered inside the Civil Affairs Bureau.

There was also the very busy person Yu Lin first saw, Director of Civil Affairs Bureau Qin Guohua.

One of the Seven Great Void of Da Xia, also a ruthless figure with a string of battle honors, who in his youth was even a teammate of Vatican Pope Francis for a while.

When Yu Lin walked in, he smiled broadly at Yu Lin, warmly ushered him to a seat, and said in a low voice:

"Yu Lin, do you have any plans to find a girlfriend?"

"I heard that Francis, that old immortal, sent An Yu away? Do you want to find someone to handle the messy affairs around you?"

"My granddaughter happens to be looking for a job........"

Yu Lin: "......... No need."

"Director Qin, let's handle the main business first."

Seeing him refuse, Qin Guohua's face flashed with a hint of regret, but he immediately nodded and said:

"Indeed."

He stood up under everyone's gaze, cleared his throat lightly, and announced loudly:

"Welcome, everyone............"

Yu Lin had no particular interest in this meeting; he would only voice opinions when someone asked him a question that required his input.

Until Director Qin had someone bring in the Fake Great Sage Monkey Demon.

A noisy commotion came from outside:

"Huh? Sister Diao Chan?!"

"Huh? Xiao Jin?!"

"Save me! They're going to lock me up!"

"What's wrong?"

"I just want to become the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, and they want to lock me up!"

"That's it? Tell the truth."

"Fine, I took the Monkey Grandsons and went to the government building for a little fun.............."

"......... Then you, go seek your own blessings."

"Don't, sister, save me, I..........."

Accompanied by the Monkey's wailing cries, it was brought in.

Facing the gaze of a crowd of formidable auras, it swallowed, and whispered:

"No way......... you guys are serious? I've only been cultivating for a year!"
