Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

As He Dongqi finished speaking, the council hall fell silent, and the atmosphere became extremely heavy.

Their biggest worry right now is that the wolf demon is actually the King of Zhennan in disguise. If it really is the King of Zhennan, then it's not a case of evil spirits that their Zhengui Division can handle.

After this somber atmosphere had lasted for an unknown period of time, He Dongqi looked at the director of the Investigation Bureau and said, "Director Wu, we'll leave the task of finding the wolf demon to your Investigation Bureau. Send out everyone in the Investigation Bureau these next few days and make sure you find the wolf demon's hiding place."

Upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashed across Wu Feng's face, but he couldn't say anything, since investigating the whereabouts of evil spirits was their mission.

However, this evil spirit is too powerful. Once their Ghost-Suppressing Guards encounter this wolf demon, the only thing they can do is fire a signal flare and wait for the wolf demon to tear them apart.

Although the Ghost Suppressors of the Ghost Investigation Division were all skilled martial artists with exceptional lightness skills, their speed was simply no match for the evil spirits of the Earth Realm.

Wu Feng then stepped forward and said, "Yes, sir."

He Dongqi then seemed to remember something and said, "Director Lu, you will accompany me to the Prince of Zhennan's residence later."

Lu Yu is the director of the Secret Treasury Department. In addition to collecting and suppressing strange treasures, the Secret Treasury Department is also responsible for organizing various strange and evil spirits. Since they have assigned Lu Chen the task of organizing evil spirits, He Dongqi naturally wants to take his superior, Lu Yu, to meet Lu Chen.

Of course, He Dongqi had other thoughts. He wanted to go to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to test whether the wolf demon was actually the Zhennan Prince in disguise. If not, then they only needed to find the wolf demon, and then they could attack it without worry.

Lu Yu replied, "Yes, sir."

He Dongqi glanced at everyone in the hall again and said, "That's all for today. Once the Bureau of Investigation and Exorcism finds any trace of the wolf demon, notify me immediately."

Meeting adjourned.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall bowed to He Dongqi and then left the hall.

The Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.

In the inner courtyard, in a pavilion.

Lu Chen lay on Bai Qingqing's slender legs, his eyes slightly closed, looking somewhat bored.

After discovering that no matter how much spiritual energy he absorbed, his cultivation level could not improve, Lu Chen simply stopped cultivating and planned to wait until the guards of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion captured some strange and evil spirits suitable for him to practice on before continuing his cultivation.

Seeing Lu Chen lying lazily on her lap, Bai Qingqing felt a strange feeling rising in her heart, like a mother's doting affection for her child.

Bai Qingqing felt somewhat helpless about her own feelings; she had actually been aroused by this guy's maternal instincts.

This peaceful scene was soon shattered when a servant came into the courtyard. "Your Highness, the newly appointed commander of the Zhengui Division requests an audience."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen opened his eyes and then said, "Take him to the reception hall."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Lu Chen then got up from Bai Qingqing's lap and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "I'm just a lowly flag officer, yet a commander personally came to see me. It seems that sometimes it's not necessarily true that a higher rank can crush you."

Bai Qingqing glanced at him wistfully. If it weren't for the fact that he was the heir of the Prince of Zhennan, how could the commander of the Zhengui Division have come to see him in person?

Lu Chen and Bai Qingqing quickly arrived at the reception hall, where He Dongqi and Lu Yu were already waiting.

Upon seeing Lu Chen arrive, He Dongqi and Lu Yu immediately bowed to him and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Lu Chen is not yet the Prince of Zhennan. Under normal circumstances, He Dongqi and Lu Yu would not need to pay their respects to Lu Chen. However, Lu Chen is the only heir of the Prince of Zhennan and will inevitably inherit the title of Prince of Zhennan in the future.

His status and position were incomparable to that of a commander of a local warlord.

At this moment, He Dongqi introduced himself, saying, "I am He Dongqi, the newly appointed commander of the Zhengui Division, and this gentleman next to me is Lu Yu, the director of the Secret Treasury Division of the Zhengui Division."

Lu Chen said with a smile, "I'm really sorry to have two superiors come to see a lowly clerk like me."

"Now that you two have come to the Prince of Zhennan's residence, are you planning to have me report to the Zhengui Division?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, He Dongqi quickly replied, "Young Master Lu is joking. Your status is so noble that if anything were to happen to you in the Zhengui Division, we could not bear the responsibility."

Lu Chen said, "But Emperor Zhou has issued an imperial edict. If I don't go to the Zhengui Division, that would be disobeying the edict. Do you two want me to be accused of disobeying an imperial order?"

He Dongqi said, "Young Master Lu, rest assured, we will naturally not disobey His Majesty's decree."

"We've come here to discuss work matters with Prince Lu."

"The Bureau of Suppressing Demons has five departments, and not every department is dangerous."

Lu Chen asked, "Oh? I wonder which department Lord He intends to assign me to?"

He Dongqi replied, "I intend to have Prince Lu join Director Lu's Secret Treasury as a captain, responsible for organizing the records of evil spirits. What do you think, Prince Lu?"

Lu Chen frowned slightly. "If I remember correctly, His Majesty's decree ordered me to start as a low-ranking officer, right?"

He Dongqi said, "With Lu Shizi's status, how can he start from a lowly position?"

Lu Chen said, "I haven't accomplished anything yet, so I'm being promoted to captain. I hope no one will be unhappy about that?"

He Dongqi said, "Young Master Lu, rest assured, no one will be dissatisfied. With your status, even if you were to serve as the commander of the Zhengui Division, no one would say anything, let alone just a captain."

"I believe that His Majesty appointed Prince Lu to the Bureau of Suppression of Ghosts because he intends to hand the Bureau over to Prince Lu in the future."

Hearing He Dongqi's nonsense, Lu Chen chuckled and said, "Lord He, let's not talk about this anymore. You should know very well why His Majesty sent me to the Zhengui Division."

"Tell me when I'm supposed to report to the Bureau of Demon Suppression."

He Dongqi turned to look at Lu Yu, who immediately understood and stepped forward, saying, "Young Master Lu, for your safety, you do not need to go to the Zhengui Division. We will send the files to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and arrange for several Zhengui Guards to come to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to assist you in organizing the files."

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Lu Chen's lips twitched slightly. The people from the Zhengui Division were quite thoughtful.

After Lu Yu finished speaking, He Dongqi glanced at Lu Chen, wanting to see his reaction. Seeing Lu Chen's expressionless face, He Dongqi tentatively asked, "Does Young Master Lu think this arrangement is appropriate?"

Lu Chen thought for a moment and realized that his current strength was still very weak, so it was indeed not suitable for him to go out and have fun. Although he really wanted to go out and see if he could find other strange progenitors, it would be troublesome if something happened before he had the ability to protect himself. He didn't want to rely on luck for everything.

If you walk on the dark too often, you're bound to encounter something strange. If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. It's always better to be careful.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Lord He is the Commander of the Suppression of Devils Division, and I am merely a low-ranking officer, so naturally I will obey your orders." (End of Chapter)
