299: If you had taken it out earlier, there wouldn't have been any problem.
"Venerable Aunt, I have it! I have it! Lord Shen Tianxing already prepared it for you!"
Li Tongshen cowered, pulling out a spatial ring from his embrace. To save his life, he was willing to do anything!
This spatial ring originally belonged to him; it was allocated by Shen Tianxing!
Those were the resources he had desperately accumulated during this period!
Now, more than half of it was given away!
It broke his heart, and the crucial thing was that Li Tongshen didn't dare to voice any objections.
This Venerable Aunt was stronger than him and was one of Shen Tianxing's confidantes, so he could only accept his bad luck!
"Wouldn't it have been fine if you had taken it out earlier?"
Shi Linglong snatched the spatial ring, and her mood immediately brightened!
Whether or not she had these resources wasn't actually important to Shi Linglong; what mattered was that Shen Tianxing gave them to her.
Shi Linglong didn't bother to consider whether Li Tongshen was forced to hand them over.
In her eyes, having this spatial ring meant that Shen Tianxing cared about her and remembered her, and that was enough to satisfy her!
A farce concluded, and the Young Misses, including Ye Qingyu, were all filled with joy.
Shen Tianxing was fine, and he had even specially sent back so many resources. Nothing could be better than that.
Thump, thump, thump... At this moment, a series of footsteps came from outside the main hall. Judging by the sound, quite a few people were arriving.
"Qingyu, your Master is here!"
A loud, aged voice came from outside.
"Master!"
Ye Qingyu's Master was precisely the current Chief of the Demon and Monster Division, the notoriously wild Situ Kuanglei!
She hurriedly walked out of the hall to greet him, only to see Situ Kuanglei striding towards the hall like wind and fire. Accompanying him were Xie Tianjian, the Chief Director of the Martial Suppression Division, and Qi Zhenxiao, the Chief Director of the Prison Envoy!
And behind them were the Prison Envoys from each of their respective departments!
Tian Bufan, Qin Zhanfeng, and the others had all arrived!
Goodness, there were more than a dozen people in this group!
In the past, the Marquis of Zhenxi Residence would only gather so many Three Divisions Experts when paying respects to the Old Marquis.
It was very rare for the people from the Three Departments to gather here!
"Greetings, Master, Uncle Xie!"
Ye Qingyu quickly went up to them, respectfully saluting the two, and at the same time greeted Tian Bufan, Qin Zhanfeng, and the others.
"Greetings, Chief Director Xie, Chief Director Situ!"
Xu Muyan, Xu Muqing, and the others were also old acquaintances with them, having interacted in the Nanyuan Domain, so they were not strangers.
Situ Kuanglei and Xie Tianjian nodded, then turned their gazes to Shi Linglong and Li Tongshen, who were standing nearby.
"Young Miss Linglong is here too? I heard you returned to Dianxing Academy. It's been a while since we last met."
Shi Linglong's identity was no longer a secret. The cultivation of the Chief Directors of the Three Departments was only on par with hers, and now that she was almost entering the Soul Palace Realm, they had to treat her with even more courtesy.
Of course, most importantly, Situ Kuanglei and Xie Tianjian all knew that Shi Linglong and Shen Tianxing's relationship was extraordinary!
"I snuck out, but in a few days, I might have to go back!"
Shi Linglong didn't hide anything; she had indeed snuck out.
However, once her Junior Martial Uncle arrived to escort the Saints chosen by various forces, she would definitely be taken back.
Situ Kuanglei and Xie Tianjian exchanged glances, both smiling wryly.
This Shi Linglong was truly unique. Instead of staying properly at Dianxing Academy, she preferred to wander around.
If they were her elders, they would have been driven to death by her actions.
"Your Majesty sent us a sacred decree, instructing us to meet the person Minister of Justice Shen sent back."
Xie Tianjian's gaze fell on Li Tongshen.
Li Tongshen's Divine Profound Realm cultivation could not be hidden from him. In Great Qi and the surrounding dozen Imperial Dynasties, Divine Profound Realm cultivators were considered top-tier experts!
For such a figure to obey Shen Tianxing's arrangements suggested that not only had Shen Tianxing's injuries healed, but his cultivation Realm had also clearly received a greater enhancement!
"Both Chief Directors are renowned, and Li Tongshen has long admired you!"
The names of the Chief Directors of the Three Departments of Great Qi were like thunder, and Li Tongshen had heard much about them when he was still in the Heavenly Fiend Sect!
They were Human Race powerhouses who caused great headaches for many demons, monsters, and ghost cultivators!
He never expected to have the opportunity to see their true faces today!
Li Tongshen felt a sense of honor. If it were in the past, he would have run as far as possible if he encountered these two. How could he stand here safely and chat and laugh with them?
This was the treatment one received only by following Lord Shen!
"Indeed, a young talent! With a Divine Profound Realm cultivation at your age, you are far stronger than the Saints of the demon, monster, and ghost Dao!"
"Your Majesty has already informed this old man about your situation. From now on, you will assist Qingyu and Qin Zhanfeng in clearing out the demons, monsters, and ghost cultivators within Great Qi!"
Situ Kuanglei conveyed the Empress's wishes.
Li Tongshen, originally from the Heavenly Fiend Sect, understood demons, monsters, and ghost cultivators too well. He would be of great help to the Three Departments of Great Qi in suppressing demon, monster, and ghost cultivators, which was precisely why Shen Tianxing sent him back!
"Alright, I will assist Young Miss Ye well."
Li Tongshen was torn between laughter and tears. What young talent?
I've been beaten black and blue; where do you see me as a young talent?
However, he dared not speak those words.
"It's rare for everyone to be here today, so let's gather. Oh, and Li Tongshen, you've been with Minister of Justice Shen for a while, so you should know what he experienced in the Sea of Buried Demons. Please tell us all about it."
Situ Kuanglei had a very high opinion of Shen Tianxing. When Shen Tianxing was still in the Purgatory Division, Situ Kuanglei tried every possible way to poach him for the Demon and Monster Division.
Tian Bufan even fought Qin Zhanfeng and, after losing, was so angry that he got a beating.
Facts proved that this old man's insight was indeed very keen!
Once he left the Imperial City, it was like the vast ocean for fish to leap and the high sky for birds to soar!
It was from that time that Shen Tianxing's rise truly began!
By now, Shen Tianxing's cultivation had long since surpassed theirs, and they also learned from the Empress that he had already stepped into the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm!
This made Xie Tianjian and Situ Kuanglei even more curious about what Shen Tianxing had experienced in the Sea of Buried Demons to achieve such growth!
Shi Linglong, Ye Qingyu, and the others nearby also showed curious expressions.
Although they had Shen Tianxing's Jade Slip recording, they knew that Shen Tianxing was doing very well now, but they still didn't know the exact details.
"Alright, then today, I will tell everyone about Lord Shen's experiences in the Sea of Buried Demons. We won't leave until we're drunk!"
When it comes to this, I'm not sleepy anymore!
Lord Shen's experiences? I know them well!
Starting from the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, he personally experienced every battle, and it would take three days and three nights to recount it all!
Li Tongshen immediately exuded an air of vigor and confidence, as if he could command the world and make all beings look up to him.
It was only at this moment that he finally found some confidence, allowing others to overlook his handsome face, which had been beaten almost beyond recognition by Shi Linglong.
