I meet all the requirements for becoming a god in this world!

Chapter 108? You're that silly kid?!

Cheng Laiyun originally thought that after going to the capital and becoming an official, he would be able to sit on equal footing with Gao Heyun.

Unexpectedly, according to her position, she was actually his direct supervisor?

He frowned, looked at the clerk, and asked, "What is the position of Lord Gao Heyun?"

The clerk flipped through the booklet in his hand: "Provincial Inspector Gao, she is the Provincial Inspector under Inspector Liu Yundu."

"What, does Lord Cheng know Lord Gao?"

Cheng Laiyun waved his hand dismissively: "We're friends, I guess."

The official was taken aback.

His expression then became even more respectful.

He continued, "You have been assigned to the command of Inspector Chai Wuyang."

"His bedroom is called Qingyun Hall," it's in the east courtyard, I'll lead you there.

Qingyun Hall.

Cheng Laiyun followed the clerk into the east courtyard and stopped in front of a bright room.

The door was open, and voices could be heard coming from inside.

"How many days do you think the boss will stay at the Ministry of Works this time?"

A high-pitched voice spoke very quickly, like popping beans.

"Who knows? The case is so big, it'll probably take a while to investigate."

A deep, resonant voice, slow and deliberate, like a millstone turning in circles.

"Damn it, those guys from the Ministry of Works, they're always so arrogant and look down on everyone, but now that something's happened, they don't dare utter a single word."

"You still want my Regent's Office to send people to investigate the case? Bah!"

"Of course! With so many people killed, who would dare utter a sound?"

Hear this sound.

Cheng Laiyun felt slightly dazed.

While in Qingzhou, I heard from Gao Heyun that a major case had occurred in the capital and that I needed to return to the capital immediately.

It seems this is the case they're referring to.

No wonder my senior sister was recalled by the Ministry of Works as soon as she arrived in the capital.

Cheng Laiyun walked through the door, seemingly lost in thought.

I saw two people sitting at the table drinking tea.

The one on the left is as thin as a bamboo pole.

His face was long, his chin was long, and when he sat there, he looked like a dried bean sprout.

He wore a black official robe, but it hung loosely on his body, so loose that it could flutter in the wind.

He held a teacup in his hand, crossed his legs, and shuffled along on his toes, exuding an air of nonchalance.

The one on the right is as fat as a small mountain.

With a round face, round eyes, and a round belly, he leaned against the chair, making it creak.

He held the teacup, slowly took a sip, and then slowly put it down, each movement as if slowed down by half a beat.

Fat or thin fairy child?

Looking at the appearance of these two people.

Cheng Laiyun recalled the two lovable characters from the TV series "The Living Buddha Jigong" in his previous life—

The skinny man spotted Cheng Laiyun first, his eyes lit up, and he jumped to his feet: "Hey! A new guy's here!"

The fat man also turned his head and looked Cheng Laiyun up and down with a smile.

Cheng Laiyun, with a solemn expression, clasped his hands in a salute: "I am Cheng Laiyun, the newly arrived Inspector General, assigned to the command of Inspector General Chai."

"How should I address you, gentlemen?"

The skinny man cupped his hands in greeting, a beaming smile on his face: "I am Zhu Yuanzhi, Inspector, and I have been with the department for three years."

He pointed to the side: "This is Hai Wuyai, also an inspector, who has been in the department for two years."

Fatty Hai Wuyai stood up, nodded to Cheng Laiyun, and said with a smile, "Brother Cheng, sit down, sit down, don't be shy."

Cheng Laiyun also sat down with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhi poured him a cup of tea.

"Where did Brother Cheng come from?" Zhu Yuanzhi asked.

"Qingzhou".

"Qingzhou?" Zhu Yuanzhi's eyes lit up: "A major case has recently occurred in Qingzhou! It was handled personally by our Inspector General Gao."

"Prefect Zhang Hong, a fifth-rank Confucian scholar with supernatural powers, colluded with the demon race and was ultimately killed!"

"Brother, are you aware of this matter while you're in Qingzhou?"

Cheng Laiyun blinked and grinned, "I know a little."

"You know a little about it?" Zhu Yuanzhi leaned closer and lowered his voice, "I heard that the one who killed Zhang Hong was a disciple of the Mo Sect."

"One person charged into the poisonous cloud of the fifth-rank serpent demon, killed Zhang Hong, and shattered the serpent demon's Nirvana!"

Hai Wuyai also leaned in, a strange look on his round face: "They say the poisonous cloud the Black Viper brews during its rebirth is so potent that even a fifth-rank cultivator would die if they went in!"

"That guy actually made it out alive!"

"The whole capital is talking about this now, everyone's saying that guy is a ruthless person."

Cruel?

Cheng Laiyun stroked his chin.

To outsiders, it certainly seems quite ruthless.

Zhu Yuanzhi grinned: "I heard that Zhou Linghe, the second-ranked martial arts candidate at the time, and Lord Gao were also there."

"Before either of them could react, that kid rushed in!"

"One person saved hundreds of thousands of lives in Qingzhou County!"

At this point, he changed the subject, his lips twitching slightly, and said, "Luckily, our Prime Minister Zhang bestowed a Nine-Turn Jade Toad Pill upon that brat, otherwise he would have been dead without even a trace."

He looked up at Cheng Laiyun, his eyes filled with sincerity, and said, "Brother Cheng, we are here in the yamen to be officials, to receive salaries, and to enjoy a life of luxury."

"Remember, if there's any danger, the first thing to think about is protecting ourselves."

"If the sky were to fall, someone tall enough would hold it up."

"Don't be like that silly kid, rushing straight in."

Hai Wuyai, standing to the side, chuckled and raised an eyebrow: "What are you talking about?"

"How much is the monthly salary?"

"Why are you risking your life like that?!"

Uh?

Cheng Laiyun, with a tight-lipped expression, grinned and said, "I've learned a lot."

He didn't want to dwell on this topic any further.

He put down his teacup, coughed lightly, and changed the subject: "Where is Lord Chai?"

This man surnamed Chai was his immediate superior in the Regent's Office, and he wanted to inquire about him beforehand.

"The boss has been away these past few days." Zhu Yuanzhi stretched and yawned, "He's with several provincial inspectors, following Inspector Liu, investigating a case at the Ministry of Works."

Cheng Laiyun asked, "What case?"

Hai Wuyai waved his hand with a smile: "Brother Cheng, you're new here, so don't worry about that. Just get familiar with the environment first."

Zhu Yuanzhi, standing to the side, shrugged and said, "Yeah, when they need us, you won't be able to ignore us even if you want to."

Cheng Laiyun nodded thoughtfully, "Then shall I go for a stroll?"

"Go ahead, go ahead, just call us brothers if you need anything."

As Cheng Laiyun walked to the entrance of Qingyun Hall, he bumped into a strange man.

The man was wearing the same dark official robe as him, was lean, had a serious face, and was clutching a small celadon bottle in his hand.

He saw Cheng Laiyun, sized him up, and asked, "Has Cheng Laiyun come to Qingyun Hall to take up his post?"

Cheng Laiyun was taken aback. He stared intently at the person in front of him and realized that he didn't recognize him at all.

He frowned and asked, "I am Cheng Laiyun, and I just arrived at the yamen today to take up my post. May I ask who you are?"

The man didn't answer, but directly stuffed the porcelain bottle into Cheng Laiyun's hand.

"The Rejuvenating Pill was a gift from the imperial court." He spoke quickly, in a businesslike tone: "My boss said it's yours."

Cheng Laiyun looked down at the porcelain vase in his hand, somewhat bewildered: "Your boss is—"

The man's gaze fell on his face, and suddenly became somewhat complicated: "My boss is Gao Heyun."

He cleared his throat, mimicking someone's tone, and said, word by word, "You solved the Zhang Hong case, and you saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Qingzhou City. She was merely there by chance; to receive a credit for this is already an unexpected bonus, and she should not be rewarded by the court."

He paused, looked at Cheng Laiyun, and said with more sincerity, "This pill is rightfully yours."

Cheng Laiyun opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Without waiting for his reply, the man clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "The goods have been delivered. I'll take my leave now."

He turned and left quickly, as if staying even a moment longer would be a waste of time.

Cheng Laiyun stood still and looked down at the porcelain bottle in his hand.

Tsk tsk.

Gao Heyun, oh Gao Heyun.

From Yong'an County to now, she hasn't changed at all.

They truly cannot tolerate even the slightest imperfection.

"Thud~~" The sound of something falling to the ground.

"You you you you————"

A stuttering voice came from behind me.

The journey is about to begin.

Then I saw Zhu Yuanzhi and Hai Wuyai standing three steps away, looking like they had just come out of the Qingyun Hall.

Four eyes were staring intently at him.

Oh, what a coincidence!

Cheng Laiyun's lips twitched slightly.

He blinked. "What's wrong?"

"You you you—" Zhu Yuanzhi finally managed to utter a complete sentence, "You're that—that—"

Hai Wuyai continued, his voice trembling: "From Qingzhou! From the Mo Clan! The one who charged into the fifth-grade snake demon's poisonous cloud all by himself! That one!"

Zhu Yuanzhi slapped his thigh and jumped up: "You—you're that silly kid!!"
