The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1120: Chapter 1120 Lord Jing Yan

Just like before.

Jing Yan had already noticed that Li Qiujie, the manager, was deliberately making things difficult for Mei Qing, but he only intended to take Mei Qing away from here. However, Li Qiujie refused to let it go.

”Oh, I guess I was right, the two of you really have something going on. Tsk tsk, you have quite the guts, daring to be so bold in front of me. Mei Qing, you’re quite something, sneaking around with some wild man. I don’t care if you find some wild man, but bringing him into the archives to mess around? That’s not acceptable.” Li Qiujie heard Jing Yan call her despicable, and her anger flared up, making her speak even more unpleasantly.

”Manager Li Qiujie, how can you say that?” Mei Qing’s face turned slightly pale.

”Outrageous! Li Qiujie, you’ve gone too far, and you’ll pay for your words and actions,” Jing Yan’s expression turned completely dark, and he said in a deep voice.

Jing Yan could ignore Li Qiujie’s mocking remarks towards himself. But insulting Mei Qing made Jing Yan truly angry. This matter wouldn’t be easily forgiven.

”Lord Steward!”

At this moment, a few more people walked in from outside with various expressions.

Jing Yan glanced over them and understood that these people were probably all staff members from the archives room. They must have been nearby, perhaps in the room next door, and came in after hearing the commotion.

Seeing this situation, Jing Yan’s anger grew even stronger.

This Li Qiujie was definitely targeting Mei Qing deliberately. There were already as many as six staff members present in the archives room. Li Qiujie made everyone else leave, leaving Mei Qing to do the work of six people alone.

Indeed, this was truly the case.

Li Qiujie was clearly targeting Mei Qing.

As for why she targeted Mei Qing, it seems to have some connection to Jing Yan.

When Elder Bao Tong first arranged for Mei Qing to join, Li Qiujie was quite favorable towards Mei Qing, even somewhat trying to win her over, mistakenly thinking Elder Bao Tong was Mei Qing’s backing. Through subtle hints, she learned that Mei Qing was not acquainted with Elder Bao Tong. Elder Bao Tong arranged a position for Mei Qing in the archives on someone else’s behalf.

After understanding this, Li Qiujie became less enthusiastic towards Mei Qing. However, she didn’t deliberately target Mei Qing, as those who could speak with Elder Bao Tong weren’t someone she could casually provoke. Without reason, she wouldn’t provoke such people.

But as time passed, Li Qiujie gradually realized that the person behind Mei Qing had never come to see her. Mei Qing worked day-in and day-out in the archives without any involvement with others. So, the relationship between that person and Mei Qing probably wasn’t very close either.

This made her increasingly upset, remembering her attempts to please Mei Qing, which made her feel very uncomfortable. Seeing Mei Qing made her heart burn with anger.

Moreover, Mei Qing’s beautiful appearance was top-notch in the Luo Jiu Divine Palace’s First Palace. Not to mention other places, even within the archives, there were some younger male martial artists who frequently expressed admiration for Mei Qing openly and covertly.

Li Qiujie grew jealous and increasingly showed a hostile attitude towards Mei Qing.

Especially in recent times, she intensified her behavior.

Because she wanted to arrange for someone to enter the archives. But with six people working there, it wasn’t easy for her to casually put someone in given her ability. However, if she could squeeze out one of the six people from the archives, she could easily replace them with her own person.

She set her sights on Mei Qing.

What Jing Yan saw today was indeed Li Qiujie calling the other five people away, leaving only Mei Qing working in the archives room. Li Qiujie came from the adjoining room upon hearing Jing Yan and Mei Qing’s voices to see what was happening.

”Regret?”

”Kid, aren’t you afraid of the wind flipping your tongue!”

”Alright! I don’t know if I’ll regret it now, but I do know you’ll regret it soon.” Li Qiujie arrogantly looked at Jing Yan.

”Mei Qing, you’ve violated the rules of the personnel department’s archives by bringing outsiders in without authorization. Despite my advice, you remain unrepentant. I will report your situation to the elder, and you’ll face punishment! Hmph, I fear you won’t be able to work here anymore.” Li Qiujie said coldly.

The personnel department, another room.

”What?”

”Jing Yan is here? Are you sure you didn’t see wrong?” Elder Bao Tong’s expression changed upon hearing the report from the steward.

”Absolutely no mistake, I saw Lord Jing Yan over a hundred years ago, and he hasn’t changed at all since then.” The steward said confidently.

”Hmm, then it should be correct. You mentioned Jing Yan went to the archives? What is he doing at the archives? Oh, right, I remember, there’s someone named Mei Qing there who has a special relationship with Jing Yan.” Bao Tong snapped his fingers on his forehead, ”I will head to the archives now, you go and tell the Lord Minister this news.”

Jing Yan’s identity was far too exceptional. In front of someone like Jing Yan, the personnel department of the First Palace was several levels lower. Even if the minister personally came forward, they would have to be very respectful.

”Yes!” The steward responded and went to find the personnel department head.

Meanwhile, Elder Bao Tong hurried towards the archives.

Swish!

In the archives room, just as Li Qiujie was running her mouth, Bao Tong quickly entered.

After entering the archives, Bao Tong’s gaze quickly swept over everyone present and finally landed on Jing Yan, whereupon his face immediately broke into a smile.

Jing Yan also saw Bao Tong.

Jing Yan had a good impression of Bao Tong. When he first registered, Bao Tong was the person in charge. Plus, there were some subsequent matters, which made Jing Yan feel somewhat indebted to Bao Tong.

”Elder Bao Tong!” Jing Yan took the initiative to greet with a cupped fist.

Li Qiujie’s brows furrowed.

This young man actually knew Elder Bao Tong? What is going on?

”Lord Jing Yan!” Bao Tong saw Jing Yan taking the initiative to greet him, quickly bowed slightly, and then deeply bent forward in salutation to Jing Yan.

When Jing Yan had just entered the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, Bao Tong’s rank was certainly above Jing Yan’s. But now, their statuses had completely switched. Jing Yan was a member of the Qingmu Department in the Seventh Palace, and it was said that even the Palace Master regards Jing Yan highly. In terms of power, Jing Yan was at the True God realm, whereas Bao Tong was merely a high-level Void God.

Thus, no matter the comparison, he couldn’t maintain a high posture in front of Jing Yan.

What Bao Tong said and his actions were very natural.

But seeing this, hearing this, Li Qiujie was truly shocked.

”What’s going on?”

”Why is Elder Bao Tong bowing to this young man? And bowing deeply! Even for the Lord Minister, it’s not this extreme!” Li Qiujie thought in a panic, feeling somewhat stunned.
