"Cheers!"

Liu Sheng lifted his wine glass and downed it in one go.

"Phew—"

He let out a long breath filled with the smell of wine, his eyes fixed on Chen Xuan.

Good lad.

If his Liu Family were able to produce such a genius, not only him, but even their ancestors would climb out of their graves, dance a bit, and bury themselves again happily.

"You really have guts, kid."

"To dare admit openly to sneaking into the Library Pavilion right in front of Zhan Tian."

"Do you know, if it had been anyone else, they would have acted long ago."

"Sometimes, I truly admire your courage."

Liu Sheng looked at him with a smile.

Though his words carried a sense of teasing, they were more filled with admiration.

"Honestly?"

Chen Xuan put down his wine glass, calmly asked.

"Rascal, it's not so easy to lie in front of a master at the Peak of the Eighth Layer of Dao Realm."

The Eighth Stage of Dao Realm, each level is worlds apart.

Especially at the peak, it's even more so!

"Indeed!"

Chen Xuan nodded his head. Earlier in the hall, he sensed the two exchanging transmissions, likely assessing if he was speaking the truth.

"Actually, if I hadn't known those geniuses were coming, I wouldn't have offered such terms."

"But the Chief Eunuch called Elder Zhan in a hurry, which gave me some speculation, so I decided to take a chance." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng nodded, "At least you're honest, kid!"

Indeed, the trio from the Three Judicial Departments are far less competent.

Even if the most gifted Ye Chen reaches the Seventh Stage of Dao Realm at best, he would only end up as cannon fodder... or perhaps not even qualify as that.

In today's Great Yu, the only ones who could be likened to those geniuses are Qin Ying, Bamboo Garden, and this lad.

But even they are far from enough to face those geniuses.

It's no surprise that Zhan Tian, upon seeing Xiaoqi, agreed to Chen Xuan's risky terms without hesitation.

After that, the elder and the young man chatted leisurely, while Xiaoqi sat quietly listening.

All the way until late at night!

"Alright, take a rest. Tomorrow morning, I'll lead you to the Three Judicial Departments!"

"Thank you, Chief Eunuch!"

Liu Sheng wobbly left the place.

Soon after!

Kang Bai slowly walked in, "The room is ready, follow me."

"Thank you, Lord Kang!"

Chen Xuan slightly cupped his hands.

"If you don't mind, just call me Brother Kang."

Seeing Liu Sheng's attitude towards Chen Xuan had given him some vague speculations.

Though somewhat unwilling!

But more so, a sense of relief, as his own strength is indeed average and almost at its limit.

He couldn't handle this position.

He could at best serve as an assistant, providing some support.

"Brother Kang!"

Chen Xuan didn't stand on ceremony, addressing him with a smile.

"Uncle Kang!"

On the side, Xiaoqi sweetly called out.

"Nice!"

Kang Bai patted his head, enviously looking at Chen Xuan, "You have a good son, even Elder Zhan couldn't help but break his rules, I'm truly envious."

"Haha!"

Chen Xuan chuckled, "This also depends on luck."

"Hahaha..."

Both of them laughed heartily together.

....

The next day!

A carriage left the Ritual Department early, Liu Sheng sitting in the center, Xiaoqi and Chen Xuan to his sides.

"Entering the tenth level of the Library Pavilion, don't have any improper thoughts, as I won't be going in there."

"If you provoke Zhan Tian, I won't be able to save you."

Listening to Liu Sheng's advice, Chen Xuan nodded, "Understood, Chief Eunuch, I'm just searching for the coordinates, and won't even glance at anything else."

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped.

"Chief Eunuch, Ritual Department has arrived!"

Kang Bai's voice came from outside.

"Got it."

Liu Sheng replied softly, then got off the carriage.

A group of four walked unimpeded into the Three Judicial Departments.

In the grand hall.

"You still came! Afraid I'll kill him?"

Zhan Tian ridiculed Liu Sheng.

"In this world, there's nothing you wouldn't dare to do, after much consideration, I still felt it necessary to come."

"Nonsense, I'm always the most law-abiding."

Liu Sheng's words made Zhan Tian quite dissatisfied.

"Alright, let's get down to business, Xiao Qi will stay in the Ritual Department, teach him well."

Liu Sheng turned his head, not looking at these scoundrels, abiding by rules, damn it, they've lost their face!

He didn't even know how to write the word 'rules'.

"Hmph!"

Zhan Tian snorted in displeasure, then looked at Chen Xuan, not showing a friendly face, "Follow me!"

Chen Xuan didn't mind, a faint smile on his face.

Last night, he had learned from Liu Sheng that the Library Pavilion was Zhan Tian's lifeline.

Being able to enter was already quite difficult, attitude didn't matter.

Moreover, what he cared about now was only the coordinates of the Human Realm.

After the two left, Liu Sheng looked at Xiaoqi, "Come, Grandpa Liu will show you around here, as you'll be spending a long time here and need to get familiar!"

Then he glanced at Kang Bai, "Wait here."

"Yes, Chief Eunuch!"

Watching the elder and the young one hold hands and walk out of the hall, Kang Bai was surprised, Grandpa Liu!

"Seems the Chief Eunuch really considers father and son as his own."

He felt both emotionally stirred and envious.

Even in the Liu Family, not many could call him Grandpa.

At this time, Zhan Tian and Chen Xuan arrived at the entrance of the Library Pavilion.

"How did you enter the tenth level back then?"

This was a question he's never quite figured out; the entire Three Judicial Departments were under his watchful eye, and though many were undergoing the Spirit Tribulation that day his focus was on that, being able to enter unnoticed, infiltrating the Library Pavilion still left him deeply shocked.
