In the realm of cultivating immortals in Shenzhou. Although the Xianlun Sect and the Four Great Families are the most prestigious sects of our time, the rules and regulations formulated by the Shadow Department cannot bind all immortal cultivators. On top of this, there are also countries and associations that are restricting the immortal cultivation world.

At the same time, not all immortal cultivators will take the shadow department seriously. For example, the Tianshan faction, the Kunlun faction, the Shushan faction, etc., these sects don't eat the shadow department, let alone the stinky rules set by the shadow department.

To be honest, their scale is indeed not comparable to that of the Immortal Wheel Sect and the Four Great Families. But the inner room disciples of these sects are all masters. Their head is not much better than that of a real person. The disciples in the inner room are all profoundly cultivated. The most inferior has at least cultivated to the Yang God realm. It's just that these sects are plain and low-key, and they rarely move around in the world, so they are not famous.

However, they are portrayed quite badly in many novels, especially the Shushan faction, which is worshiped by many people. This has also increased the popularity of these schools to a greater or lesser extent.

It is they who are really afraid of Jiuyou. These sects that don't care about the world can be said to be the most low-key and powerful hidden forces in the immortal cultivation world.

However, all the well-known sects, such as the Zhengyi Sect in Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi, the Quanzhen Sect in Baiyun Temple in Beijing, the Qingcheng School in Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan, etc., have a profound cultural heritage. It's just that their fame is great. But to this day, how many percent of the disciples can still learn the stunts of the founding patriarch?

The most powerful masters are often in lesser-known places. Just as Lao Tzu compared water to the Tao, the supreme masters and immortals are always in the low places.

The above-mentioned Tianshan, Kunlun and Shushan three factions, the hidden masters are not in the places where people can see them. They are far away from the world and practice purely. Only when people from the sect go to them for help will these masters take action.

Among the young talents who went to participate in the Zixian Meeting, there was Wu Minrong from the Tianshan faction. He is not only the son of Wu Pengzhan, the head of the Tianshan faction, but also a staff member of the Taoist Association. Unfortunately, his name is on the death statistics list of the Shadow Department.

If you don't give a reasonable explanation to the Tianshan Sect and the Taoist Association, I'm afraid that the matter of Jiuyou will be exposed. If it's a little worse and the police step in, it's going to get a lot of trouble.

Li Xiaochen thought for a moment and said to Tang Yao: "Can you help me contact the president of the Taoist Association? Oh, no, it's good to contact the head of the Baiyun Temple Quanzhen Sect directly." We can tell him about the Heavenly Demon Mastiff, and by the way, point out the stakes. As for the head of the Tianshan Sect, you let him ask the head of the Quanzhen Sect. ”

"You want to blame the head of the Quanzhen Sect? Tang Yao prepared the rhetoric to deal with it in his heart, and set out to do it.

After a while, Tang Yao returned to the office and made an OK gesture: "It's done!"

Li Xiaochen smiled and asked, "What did he say?"

Tang Yao said: "The master said to understand our situation. The Tianshan faction will deal with it by him. But I'm afraid that the head of the Tianshan faction will look for us. ”

"We'll talk about it then. "Li Xiaochen can manage so much. Anyway, let's put it off for a while. The most important thing at the moment is to find the Heavenly Demon Mastiff and those monsters that have unfortunately been released from the mountain and sea realm.

At the end of the day, the biggest problem is the Heavenly Demon Mastiff. Even if you can find it, you probably won't be able to subdue this monster. Jiang Mi'er's problem is really a headache.

Li Xiaochen was thinking about how to catch the Heavenly Demon Mastiff. Tang Yao walked to the filing cabinet, put the thick stack of documents in front of his desk, and said, "These are urgent documents that must be handled by your hands. Most of them are about the funding of the film industry. ”

"So many?" Li Xiaochen flipped through cursoly. There are at least 400 copies of these documents.

"There's something else. Tang Yao took out a large stack of documents from the cabinet and placed them on the table, "This is the official document of the Immortal Cultivation Realm. Some are personnel change permits. Some are monster disposal permits. Some are applications for the processing of immortal cultivators who violate the rules and regulations of the shadow department...... All of them need to be signed and stamped. Oh, yes, and ......"

"You kill me!" Li Xiaochen saw Tang Yao go to the cabinet to move documents again, and really wanted to crash to death on the table, "How can I be busier than the prime minister of the country?" Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. My family is still waiting for me to go back for the Chinese New Year. Can these documents be deferred?"

"No, I can't. Tang Yao put the third stack of documents in front of Li Xiaochen, "This is the formalities and related industry agreements handed over by the Minister of Shadows." Each one requires your autograph. I haven't slept for days. Before you make a move, you will cry out to the heavens and the earth. So what should I do?"

Li Xiaochen looked at the mountain of documents and couldn't help but sigh heavily: "It seems that I can't go back for the New Year." ”

Tang Yao hesitated for a moment, and asked next to him, "After working overtime tonight, are you free?"

Li Xiaochen made a posture of protecting his chest with both hands, looked at Tang Yao vigilantly, and asked, "Why are you going to ask me out?"

Tang Yao was amused by his posture and smiled: "Are you still afraid that I will eat you? Didn't you make an appointment before? ”

Li Xiaochen signed and stamped and asked, "Which play are you playing?"

Tang Yao said patiently: "You forgot again, didn't you? My father wants to see you and talk about the matter between me and you." ”

"What's the matter between me and you?" Li Xiaochen glanced at her in confusion.

"Marriage!" Tang Yao pursed her lips and glared at him dissatisfied.

"Oh, part-time fiancé, huh? didn't ask......"

"No!" Tang Yao slapped the folder on his head, "There is no word 'part-time'. Be...... Genuine fiancé. ”

"Bang!" Li Xiaochen listened to this last sentence and accidentally stamped the official seal on his hand. He screamed in pain, "What a real fiancé? Why don't I even know about myself!"

Tang Yao looked at Li Xiaochen stupidly for a while before he said solemnly: "Let's get married." ”

"Bang!" This time, the official seal directly smashed on Li Xiaochen's fingers. He clutched his fingers and whispered, "You—are you kidding?"

Tang Yao said solemnly: "I'm serious. Ah Chen, let's get married after graduation, okay?"

Li Xiaochen opened his mouth wide, looked at Tang Yao blankly for a long time, and muttered, "You...... Are you proposing to me?"

Tang Yao laughed and said, "You're beautiful, aren't you? Everyone is a man proposing to a woman." Now there are beautiful women urging you to get married, hum, just go for it. ”

Li Xiaochen put down the documents in his hand, squeezed his eyes a few times, and said with a headache: "A woman who urges a man to marry either has a secret knot or is desperate to get a man's property. Which one are you?"

"Neither. Tang Yao walked up to him and sat down, "I used to think that you were just going to participate in the Zixian Club just for a simple competition. Who knew that after winning the game, Qin Dangjia would actually want to marry his daughter to you. I have a sense of crisis. Will you marry Yufei and not want me?"

Li Xiaochen looked at her with a look of resentment, and couldn't help laughing: "I won't marry Qin Yufei." You can rest assured. And when am I going to have you? We're normal friends, okay?"

"A normal friendship? So how many times have I made out with you, what?"

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense. Every time, you take the initiative to kiss me. And I'm ......"

"You dare to say you didn't respond? Every time you kiss so hard. And tease me with his tongue. Do you want to pay now?"

"Hey, how can you talk nonsense like this?" Li Xiaochen was afraid that the wall would have ears, so he quickly covered Tang Yao's mouth.

Tang Yao expelled his hand vigorously and snorted, "What I said is the truth. If you don't like me, why are you kissing me?"

Li Xiaochen opened his mouth to say something, but he was choked by this. When he thought about it, it was really like that. If he didn't mean anything to Tang Yao, how could he kiss her a few times?

Speaking of which, Tang Yao is actually quite good. Born in a rich family, but not arrogant. Li Xiaochen is definitely too good to say to him. Although a bit violent and pretentious, she is indeed a girl with a real temperament.

These days, what Tang Yao has paid, he has seen it in his eyes and put it in his heart. If it weren't for her help, many things would have been hard to do. But......

Li Xiaochen asked himself in his heart, how much he liked Tang Yao, what should Jiang Mi'er do?

But then, he thought of Jiang Mi'er's recent heinous behavior. As soon as he thought of what happened in Tianmu Villa, Li Xiaochen felt resistant to Jiang Mi'er in his heart. Coupled with the secret that Melzak said on his deathbed, he was a little shy away from Jiang Mi'er.

If it is really as Melzak said, then Jiang Mier is definitely a poison stained with honey, and it cannot be touched at all.

Li Xiaochen also secretly made a decision. When he was free, he had to figure out the whole thing himself.

So what about now? Does he love Jiang Mi'er, hate her, or both? Li Xiaochen himself can't tell. He always had a dull sense of irritability when he thought of her.

Li Xiaochen didn't want to think about it anymore. He tried his best to put Jiang Mi'er's affairs behind him and focus all his energy on dealing with the documents. One seal after another was stamped loudly, as if in this way, he could vent the anguish in his heart.

Tang Yao saw that Li Xiaochen suddenly stopped speaking and straightened his face, thinking that he was annoyed, and he didn't dare to mention it again. She sighed in disappointment and went to work too.

I was so busy that I was busy until dark.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the clerical staff of the shadow department were full of clockwork and handled the affairs of the company. When it was almost midnight, the white-collar workers outside had already left one after another. And Li Xiaochen is still working hard.

While going to the bathroom, he took the time to call his family and reluctantly said that he couldn't go home for the New Year. After instructing his sister to take care of his mother, he returned to the office and continued to work on official documents.

Since he took over the post of head of the shadow department from Melzak, he must do his best. You can't leave until you finish your work. Moreover, most of these documents need to be processed urgently. In particular, the handling permission of monsters. The members of the shadow department are still waiting for approval. If they don't get rid of it as soon as possible, they won't be able to go home for the New Year. They can't be delayed because he's alone.

It wasn't until almost midnight that Li Xiaochen was dizzy enough to get all the documents done. He stared at Tang Yao's busy figure and reconsidered the question of their relationship.

After thinking for a long time, when Tang Yao passed by him, Li Xiaochen suddenly said, "Tang Yao, come here!"

"What's the matter?...... What are you going to do?" As soon as Tang Yao turned around, he was picked up by Li Xiaochen.

"A New Year's gift for you. When the New Year's bell was about to ring, Li Xiaochen smiled evilly and pressed Tang Yao on the sofa and kissed her soft lips.
