I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 909

Without hesitation, Chen Mo picked up Li Yuan by the waist and strode toward the inner residence.

Since it's still early, today I'll let Little Tiger see what the power of a Grandmaster truly means!

...

...

Qilin Pavilion.

The entire building consists of five floors, with black walls and tiles throughout, wide at the base and narrow at the top, resembling a long sword standing majestically in the northeastern direction of the Imperial Palace.

The surrounding area is rarely visited, silent and eerie, not even the sound of birds or insects can be heard.

On the third floor of the Book Pavilion, a round table is placed in the center of the room. The people are seated around the table, besides the Gold, Wood, Earth, and Water Thousand Households, the heads from the Judicial Inspector and Experience Department are all present.

Three people are seated at the head position, with Northern Town Governor Shi Jingxuan on the left and Southern Town Governor Mu Zhen on the right, and Commander Luo Huaijin seated in the middle.

The air is quiet enough to hear a pin drop, and no one is speaking.

Ye Zi'e frowned slightly, feeling that the atmosphere was somewhat off.

She had not expected that during her time in the Southern Border, such significant upheaval would occur in the Capital—the South City district was blasted to ruin, with heavy casualties among the people, and even the Crown Prince was reportedly almost caught up in the incident…

However, it was still her first day at work, and she did not yet understand the specifics.

"Normally at meetings, it's usually just the Thousand Households from our five departments who attend, but why did people from the South Town Patrol Department come today?"

"And Mr. Luo actually came personally…"

Ye Zi'e leaned towards Yun He, asking softly, "Mr. Yun, what's the situation?"

"You'll naturally find out later," Yun He replied expressionlessly.

During the time Ye Zi'e was away, all the matters of the Water and Earth Departments weighed solely on him, leading to deep resentment in his heart, so naturally, he had no cheerful countenance.

"Tch, if you don't want to explain, then fine."

Ye Zi'e cleared her throat and directly asked, "Mr. Luo, we've been sitting here for a quarter of an hour already. Didn't we gather to be informed about something important? What's the wait for?"

Luo Huaijin lowered his eyelids, replying calmly, "Not everyone has arrived yet, Commander Ye, please be patient."

Ye Zi'e looked around, frowning, "Who else hasn't arrived?"

To make two Town Governors and a Commander wait like this, who could have such sway?

Could it possibly be the Commander himself?

"When told to wait, just wait quietly; keeping your mouth shut won't make you a mute," Shi Jingxuan glanced at her, saying coldly.

"Yes…"

Ye Zi'e refrained from saying more.

No matter how strong her temperament, face must still be given to her superior.

Besides, she didn't know who had provoked Shi Jingxuan, as ever since entering the room, his face was dark as a pot bottom, yet one could faintly sense a hint of unease.

Everyone just sat quietly like this, waiting from 11 a.m. until the afternoon.

Just when Ye Zi'e's patience was about to run out, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

A secretary pushed the door open, bowed and said, "Sir, the Fire Department Thousand Households has arrived."

Luo Huaijin, who had been pretending to sleep with eyes shut, opened his eyes and nodded, "Let him come directly."

"Yes."

The secretary responded and withdrew.

"The Fire Department Thousand Households?"

Ye Zi'e furrowed her brow, filled with doubt.

Bai Lingchuan had long since passed away, and the position of Fire Department Thousand Households had always been Luo Huaijin's concurrent role. Where did this new Thousand Households come from? Could it be a parachuted connection?

To make so many people wait several hours, the grandiosity is just too much!

Step, step, step—

Accompanied by steady footsteps, a tall figure entered the Book Pavilion.

Ye Zi'e turned her head to look and was stunned to see that familiar face.

?!

How could it be him?!

"Mr. Chen, we have been waiting eagerly for you."

Luo Huaijin broke into a smile, surprisingly rising to greet him, and the others also stood up from their seats one after another.

"Mr. Luo?"

Chen Mo was taken aback by this arrangement.

Originally, he thought his visit was just to hand over some work, a modest Thousand Households position may seem prestigious to outsiders, but in the Qilin Pavilion, it's merely a ticket to entry; no one should particularly care about this.
