I Can Devour Spirits

Chapter 298 - 274: Bearing Official Title (Part 3)

Jiang Qingyu happily said, "Indeed! But your luck isn’t bad either."

"I’m relying on my strength, okay!" Ximen Kankan retorted with dissatisfaction.

"Really?" Jiang Qingyu said with a strange expression, "Why don’t you try facing Duan Rong and Tao Rong!"

Hearing this, Ximen Kankan immediately fell silent. He glanced at Duan Rong and Tao Rong over there, and had to admit, he really couldn’t beat them.

If in the third round, it wasn’t Duan Rong who faced Tao Rong but him, he estimated not only would he lose, but also very likely get injured. He definitely didn’t have Duan Rong’s ability to catch three suddenly shooting darts with just one hand!

Could he certainly win in the survival round with injuries? Ximen Kankan truly had no confidence in his heart.

By now, the sky had already darkened, and the dispersed crowd was enthusiastically discussing in groups of two or three...

"Miss Shen is really ruthless..."

"Be careful, she might catch you and take you to the government office."

"Why would she catch me and take me to the government office? I was just saying Miss Shen is a truly valiant heroine..."

Among these dispersing shadows, the old temple priest, Xu Dongyang, walked at the back. He walked with heavy steps, frowning in deep thought, ignoring the surrounding noisy discussions...

Once the crowd dispersed, Clerk Qin walked to the front of Zhexing Platform, in front of the seven who had finally advanced, and smiled, "Ladies and gentlemen, the back courtyard of the County Government has been prepared with a banquet, arranged especially by the County Magistrate to celebrate your advancement! Please do attend the feast."

Now that they had advanced to become Sect Named Disciples, they were considered people with status, so Clerk Qin immediately changed his address to address them with respect.

In the viewing seats, Shen Yanliu smiled warmly, and said, "Dear Inspectors, my humble self especially invited a famous chef from the Eight Treasures Building to prepare a feast in the backyard. You have all worked hard, please come with me to the feast, and let Shen accompany you for a few drinks!"

Shen Yanliu looked at Jie Daohan, who was sitting there in a daze, and said, "Chief Constable Jie, please join us as well."

Jie Daohan was still in a daze, until Fan Yuanhai nudged him, bringing him back to his senses, to which he quickly replied, "I still have matters to attend to. I won’t be attending the banquet."

After speaking, Jie Daohan unexpectedly jumped off the viewing seats and left on his own.

Shen Yanliu’s brow twitched, as Jie Daohan had always been cautious in front of him over the years. Today’s behavior was somewhat unusual, as he excused himself from the invitation and left directly.

However, at this moment, Li Xianjiang had already walked down from the viewing seats, and Shen Yanliu immediately went over to accompany him.

Fan Yuanhai, Zhu Qunxiang, and the others also gradually left the viewing seats, heading towards the backyard of the County Government Office.

Because of Shen Yanliu’s characteristic, they had previously avoided attending County Government’s banquets. But this time was different; this time’s feast was for these Sect Envoys to meet the newly advanced Sect Named Disciples.

For ten days later, after the public announcement ends, they would have to bring the Talent Selection Conference’s results document and these seven advanced Sect Named Disciples together, to report to Divine Cloud Prefecture.

As for the other people in the viewing seats, they each scattered away; they were originally just there to complement the occasion.

A Mo looked at Lv Qingzhu and asked, "Miss, are we going?"

Lv Qingzhu saw that Qin Shuban had already led Duan Rong and the others towards the main gate of the County Office.

Lv Qingzhu said, "Let’s go! Let’s go in and take a look."

The two of them quickly stepped down from the viewing seats, catching up with Fan Yuanhai, Zhu Qunxiang, and the others...
