The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1119: Chapter 1119: Better Not Do It

More than a hundred years ago, when Jing Yan first entered the Luo Jiu Divine Palace and saw Mei Qing, Mei Qing’s cultivation was at the One-star Void God Realm. Over these hundred-plus years, Mei Qing still remains at the One-star Void God Realm.

Of course, for ordinary martial artists, advancing from the One-star Void God to the Two-star Void God is not an easy feat. Mei Qing has only been in the Luo Jiu Divine Palace for a little over a hundred years, so it is normal for her level not to have advanced.

”Brother Jing Yan, what brings you here?” Mei Qing walked over to Jing Yan in surprise, her blushing face lingering for a long time.

”I have some matters to attend outside the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, so I came by to see you. Are you doing well?” Jing Yan said with a smile.

”I’m doing great! Haha, I thought you had forgotten about me long ago, Brother Jing Yan.” Mei Qing revealed a bright smile, ”Brother Jing Yan, I’ve heard that you are now a mighty figure at the True God Realm, is it true?”

Mei Qing had always paid attention to Jing Yan’s news. In the First Palace, she could hear some information about Jing Yan. However, given her status, it wasn’t possible for her to obtain the latest updates. Moreover, she could not ascertain the truth of the rumors, as they tend to exaggerate.

”I am indeed at the cultivation level of the True God Realm.” Jing Yan nodded, he had already reached the Peak of the Three-star True God Realm.

”That’s amazing. Back then, Brother Jing Yan joined the Luo Jiu Divine Palace with me. I am still a One-star Void God, yet you’ve already stepped into the True God Realm. Moreover, even though you’ve become such a high and mighty person, you haven’t forgotten about me and have specifically come to see me. I’m truly happy,” Mei Qing said, looking up at Jing Yan.

She was genuinely happy.

”Mei Qing, is the work in the archive room very busy?” Jing Yan deliberately scanned around.

”Not particularly busy, I can handle it.” Mei Qing slightly moved her eyebrows as she spoke.

”I see there are many seats here; why is there only you present?” Jing Yan noticed every subtle change in Mei Qing’s expression.

The situation in the archive room now was absolutely abnormal.

The work in the First Palace Personnel Department’s archive room is heavy, and it is impossible for just one person to organize these mountain-like documents.

”Oh...it’s not just me, there are others.” Mei Qing hesitated to speak.

”Where are the others?” Jing Yan continued to ask.

”Others? They happen to have other things right now, they should be back soon.” Mei Qing’s eyebrows furrowed, ”Brother Jing Yan, I’m quite good here, many people are envious of this job.”

”With you being so busy, do you still have time to cultivate?” Jing Yan saw that Mei Qing really did not want to talk about it, so he changed the subject.

”It’s alright, out of twelve hours a day, I only need to work for eight hours. The rest of the time, I can arrange freely and use it for cultivation.” Mei Qing smiled.

”Eight hours?”

”Never mind, this job isn’t worth doing,” Jing Yan shook his head, ”Let’s go, I’ll take you to Elder Bao Tong, and we’ll quit.”

”How could this be?” Mei Qing blurted out.

Jing Yan knew she meant that without this job, she wouldn’t receive divine crystals. The annual basic reward of divine crystals for martial artists in the First Palace is very meager.

”Mei Qing, you don’t need to worry about the divine crystals needed for cultivation. I have plenty of divine crystals; even if you were a high-level True God, the divine crystals consumed during cultivation would mean nothing to me.” Jing Yan waved his hand.

Jing Yan’s words were not an exaggeration and even slightly conservative. With Jing Yan’s capabilities, even for the divine crystals consumed during high-level Void God or low-level True God cultivation, it wouldn’t be an issue for him to supply several martial artists. Refining a batch of Vermilion Pill when free would yield several million divine crystals in profit.

”Ah?” Mei Qing opened her mouth slightly.

”Mei Qing, what are you doing?” At this moment, a voice called out from behind them.

The speaker was a middle-aged female martial artist at the Three-star Void God Realm.

This woman looked at Mei Qing, frowning, with an intonation that suggested a hint of questioning.

”Who are you? How did you trespass into the archive room?” Mei Qing and Jing Yan hadn’t spoken yet when the woman shifted her gaze to Jing Yan and interrogated.

”I’m Mei Qing’s friend,” Jing Yan replied, staring at the woman.

”Mei Qing, is this person here to see you?” The middle-aged woman turned her gaze back to Mei Qing.

”Manager Li Qiujie, Brother Jing Yan has come to see me.” Mei Qing spoke with her head down.

”Nonsense!”

”Mei Qing, I’m telling you, how long have you been working in the archive room? Do you not know the rules here in the Personnel Department’s archive room? How can outsiders enter as they please?” The middle-aged woman spoke quickly.

This Li Qiujie was the manager of the Personnel Department, primarily responsible for the archive room. Mei Qing was essentially under her direct supervision.

At this time, Jing Yan could also see that Mei Qing seemed somewhat afraid of this woman named Li Qiujie.

”I...” Mei Qing bit her lip.

”I came in on my own,” Jing Yan smiled slightly.

”You entered on your own?”

”Hmph, then why haven’t you left yet? Remember, this is the Personnel Department’s archive room, and idle people are not permitted inside.” Li Qiujie said, appearing quite stern.

She was a manager in the Personnel Department, possessing some authority. Indeed, many people would typically try to curry favor with her.

To the ordinary members of the First Palace, someone like Li Qiujie was definitely not to be offended.

Jing Yan shook his head, not interested in getting entangled with such a person.

”Mei Qing, let’s go,” Jing Yan said to Mei Qing.

Jing Yan had already noticed that Mei Qing was under Li Qiujie’s oppression here. Li Qiujie’s attitude toward Mei Qing was very unfriendly. Over the previous days, Mei Qing must have frequently faced Li Qiujie’s reproval.

Since he was here this time, he would let Mei Qing resign, leaving some resources for Mei Qing to use for a long time.

”Leave?”

”Where are you going? The work here is so busy, how can you leave before completing it?”

”Hmm? Mei Qing, what have you been doing for these three to four hours? Why haven’t these documents been organized and filed?” Li Qiujie’s tone turned sharp.

She didn’t realize that when Jing Yan mentioned leaving, he meant having Mei Qing quit this job.

”I’ve been working on it; it’s just that there are too many documents to finish in a short period,” Mei Qing defended herself once.

”You’re still making excuses? If it weren’t because Elder Bao Tong arranged for you, I would have kicked you out long ago.”

”Huh, why haven’t you left yet?” Li Qiujie looked back at Jing Yan.

”You’re such an annoying woman! I don’t want to squabble with you, yet you are so aggressive. Do you believe Mei Qing and I are easy to bully?” A trace of anger flickered in Jing Yan’s gaze.

Reaching Jing Yan’s level of cultivation, ordinary matters don’t usually bother him too much.
