Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 694 - 254: Brothers! Godfather! _5

The Celestial Capital Department faces the Imperial Decree Department, Defense Department, Demon-slaying Bureau, and others to prevent issues like "corruption" from arising, somewhat reminiscent of the West Factory, with imperial authority.

So, what the City Lord said isn't untrue. The situation in South City is ultimately due to a problem in the Demon-slaying Bureau. If there's a problem in the Demon-slaying Bureau, then someone in the Four Major Institutions isn't following the rules. In such a case, the Celestial Capital Department should stand up and rectify the situation.

What does that have to do with my Imperial Decree Department? My Imperial Decree Department is only responsible for some construction in the local city, just in charge of earning money. Surely, they won't make my Imperial Decree Department take the blame.

"I also want to go to the Celestial Capital Department, but right now, I don't know if the Celestial Capital Department is even responsible, nor do I know whether there's anyone from the Demon-slaying Bureau hiding there. Plus, their combat power is quite high, so if I rush into the Celestial Capital Department, I'm afraid my life as a foreigner is at risk."

Yuchi jestingly said. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"It shouldn't be the case because above the Celestial Capital Department is the Divination Tower. Unless the Divination Tower has also been infiltrated by these people, the Celestial Capital Department should be fundamentally sound." The City Lord weakly reminded.

Then, seeing Yuchi silent, he quickly voiced his thoughts.

Firstly, the people in the Celestial Capital Department come from the Divination Tower, and there isn't just one Divination Tower. If one wants to completely take over the Celestial Capital Department for personal use, they would need to control all corresponding Divination Towers, an impossible feat. Thus, the Celestial Capital Department is the hardest institution to breach.

Secondly, the Defense Department. The Defense Department's superior is the Great Tang Prison, which also has similar protections. Directly breaching it seems unlikely, as no one wants to be an enemy of the Great Tang Prison.

Then there's our Imperial Decree Department, which is merely responsible for the financial development of large cities. We're truly not a haven for relaxation. If we don't manage people's livelihood well, the Celestial Capital Department will inspect, and problems will be endless. So, sometimes taking small liberties is inevitable, but we dare not act recklessly.

Lastly, the Demon-slaying Bureau. Because it's quite special, belonging to the Four Major Institutions, yet seemingly nominally existent, it's the easiest to be swallowed. It seems the people from the Fourth State realized this and chose to attack the Demon-slaying Bureau, as the other three institutions cannot be devoured.

The City Lord, having finished speaking, fearfully looked at the mysterious figure in front of him.

The result: Yuchi burst out laughing, "Aren't you capable of analysis? Why did you previously act oblivious?"

He did it on purpose, just to hear my opinion. I was fooled by him... The City Lord flushed, "Great wisdom appears foolish, great wisdom indeed... We lack fighting power, so we naturally know what to do and what not to do, though we have no solutions."

Then he continued, "So at this point, you can directly approach the Celestial Capital Department. Although there might be remnants from the Demon-slaying Bureau, as long as you go straight to their head, he should be fine. Otherwise, if there's an issue with the Celestial Capital Department's head, other Divination Towers eager to replace him would immediately oust him and install their own."

The reason for this is straightforward.

Suppose there are three Divination Towers around Huoqing City, and the head of the Celestial Capital Department comes from one of them. The other two towers are bound to feel some jealousy since there aren't any mutual interests among Divination Towers, so they'd keep an eye on this head.

If the head of the Celestial Capital Department makes a mistake, he'll be immediately kicked out, and people from the other two towers will try to install their own in the Celestial Capital Department. This isn't just a matter of face; through such actions, they can attract more aspiring talents to their Divination Tower.

It's akin to a certain training center from a past life nurturing a super-talented individual, perhaps becoming a university president. For that training center, they could use such achievements for promotion to attract students and profit. Describing it in a thousand words, it all revolves around interests developing over time.

Of course, Yuchi understood the City Lord's meaning, which was one of his reasons for finding him: "Help introduce me, please."

City Lord: "?"

Gosh, are you waiting on me?! Caught between laughter and tears, feeling quite aggrieved, the City Lord helplessly said:

"Sir, I really dare not. Our Imperial Decree Department shouldn't engage in such matters. Moreover, you're not a local; how could I dare directly recommend you? If anything happens to you, I'd be the one held accountable. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child. Please, don't ruin me!"

Yuchi took off his mask: "Godfather."

City Lord: "??"

Gosh, are you forcibly making me your godfather?! Can you even do that? I'm not your godfather, I'm not! I'm just a pitiable City Lord of the Imperial Decree Department, appearing outwardly impressive but actually burdened with challenges hard to articulate! I'm not your godfather at all!
