Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 342 The Big Shot's Sigh

"Thank you very much for Judge Li Tian's support. As for what to do after we return, we'll talk about it when things have settled down."

Wang Teng was still very pleased with Li Tian's change of attitude; perhaps the other party saw something attractive about him.

His target was Leng Qing; the rest wasn't important. Besides, with Tang Zhong present, there were some things he couldn't say too explicitly.

Wang Teng didn't plan to bypass Tang Zhong's connection to contact him; it was unnecessary for him.

"Old Li, you're still being so formal. There's plenty of time in the future. When we come to visit you, please don't kick us out."

"Hahaha..." Tang Zhong started joking as he spoke, seemingly recalling a scene, and laughed particularly happily.

Am I the kind of stingy person?

"Old Tang, tonight we're drinking until we drop!"

Li Tian seemed to be angry with Tang Zhong as well, and started a drinking contest with him, looking like they were going to fight until dawn.

The dinner lasted for two and a half hours, with the two old men joking around.

Bathed in moonlight, Wang Teng saw the two judges off as they left Moon Rain Pavilion, but Leng Qing stopped in the end.

"What do you need me to prepare for our trip to the Imperial Palace in the capital?" Leng Qing stopped and asked Wang Teng. She felt that ever since she took over that Earth-type Heavenly Seed, he had been her superior.

As an elite representative of the trial committee, her professional instincts told her that she needed to hear whether the other party had any arrangements.

"You should fuse with that Great Celestial Seed as soon as possible; you might need it soon."

"Then prepare for the trip, and take the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the powers and duties of the Palace Museum councilors, as well as the internal resource channels and information networks."

"As for the rest, Sister Leng Qing, you can handle it as you see fit."

"Apart from necessary matters, I will maintain the style of the court proceedings. You will attend the meetings of the Forbidden City on my behalf. Just let me know if there are any important matters."

"As for whether or not to recruit talent, that's up to you. I generally don't need them. Recruit as many as you need."

"You don't need to worry about benefits, but we'd rather have fewer staff than hire the wrong kind!"

Wang Teng looked at her and said, "This is a reference standard for Leng Qing. Give her the same treatment as Tang Yue. To put it bluntly, don't come to me with small matters. You handle it yourself."

As for his subordinates, he doesn't care about them at the moment, and welfare resources are not a problem for him either.

The resources within the Palace Mage Corps must be extensive, and there will certainly be no shortage of resources for breaking through to the Super-Rank. Super-Rank mages will definitely have access to these resources.

Once subordinates have made contributions, they can simply redeem them internally.

Being able to associate with a celebrity legislator is an opportunity in itself, and many people would probably pay extra to squeeze in.

Of course, there may be some people with connections involved, but he firmly believes that with Leng Qing's wisdom, he will definitely consider and handle it well.

"Okay, I'll get ready."

Leng Qing didn't have the habit of kissing her generous boss, and she felt relieved, as he had given her a great deal of freedom to make decisions.

This discretionary power is far greater than that of the deputy presiding judge, since, as far as she knows, court councilors have considerable power.

The court priests in the imperial capital are in charge of internal affairs, while the priests in the sacred palaces of the divine capital are in charge of external affairs.

In making important decisions, either a meeting of members of parliament is held or the chief and several deputy chiefs make the decisions. The four auxiliary military commands each guard a region, while the other members of parliament have a more relaxed job, mainly responsible for providing combat support and dealing with demon attacks that occur in various parts of the country.

These kinds of questions are very flexible. Minor issues won't reach the court councilors. The ones that make it to the desk of the Palace Museum's magicians are either strategic issues or demonic attacks.

These kinds of things may seem impressive, but a large part of it is actually just empty talk, and very little of it is actually put into action.

"Hmm~ Thank you for your hard work, Sister Leng Qing!" Wang Teng said with a happy smile. Sure enough, it was a very wise move of his to have her as his secretary... no, I mean, his head bodyguard.

Upon hearing this address, Leng Qing immediately gave him a flirtatious wink: "In that case, I'll head back."

"Okay, goodbye~"

Wang Teng watched Leng Qing leave until she disappeared from sight before returning to the villa.

The matter of recruiting Leng Qing has basically been settled. Next, it's time for Pang Lai to prepare the inauguration ceremony for him.

After becoming a court monk councilor, there were practically no one left who could boss him around.

Having arrived at this point, Wang Teng had essentially accomplished his objective.

Holding both the positions of member of the Trial Council and member of the Palace Council, he will find it much easier to do whatever he wants, and can move forward or backward with ease.

As for those sly rats in the shadows, Wang Teng doesn't care as long as they don't bother him.

Because he had something more important to do, which was to calm down and comprehend the super-powerful energy and divine gifts of the Mind System, in order to prepare for breaking through the forbidden spell.

If you have the chance, you can consult the Chinese military leader about this. If you approach him as a member of the royal council, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Even without the opportunity, he was able to discover these two abilities by following his intuition and deductions.

Doing this will only take him a little more time and effort.

The Hall of Heroes project can now be accelerated. Once completed, the cultivation of demonic arts will become unstoppable.

Two days later, Wang Teng concluded his brief period of comprehension and cultivation.

In the morning, Leng Qing arrived at Moon Rain Manor dressed in formal attire.

"Let's go~ The itinerary is all arranged!" Leng Qing and Tang Yue chatted briefly before seeing Wang Teng ready to come downstairs.

"Hmm~ Let's go." Wang Teng didn't say much, but Tang Yue and Ding Yumin both knew what he was going to do.

However, they still escorted them to the door, where they saw a black sedan waiting.

Wang Teng and Leng Qing got into the car decisively, and the driver drove the sedan away from the manor.

Not long after, the two arrived at Shanghai Airport and boarded a first-class plane to fly to Beijing.

The plane pierced through the clouds and arrived above, where, under the sunlight, it seemed like a sacred land, with everything below a vast expanse of white.

After half a day's flight, the plane arrived safely in the capital, without encountering any stubborn winged demons trying to cause trouble.

"Wow, this place is truly a frozen wasteland!"

As soon as he got off the plane, a private car was already waiting to pick him up. Wang Teng didn't care whether it was arranged by Leng Qing or Pang Lai. Since he was being picked up by a private car, he could just enjoy it.

As the car drove along the road, all that could be seen was a vast expanse of white snow, with a thick layer of snow already piled up on the ground.

This is much worse than in the south. In the far south, you might not see a single snowflake fall all year round unless it's artificial snowfall.

"Haven't you ever seen heavy snow?" Leng Qing turned to look at him.

"I've seen it before, but this snow reminds me of the first night I came to the capital alone."

"At that time, I was participating in the Nationalist team's training trip. I flew here overnight with a feeling of trepidation."

"That experience feels like it was just yesterday."

Wang Teng sighed slightly. In other people's eyes, he could probably be considered a successful person now.
