Chapter 1053: Arrogance
This deputy director of the Fourth Palace’s Assessment Department had heard of Jing Yan, but had not met him. If it weren’t for Chun Jin intentionally shouting, he really wouldn’t have guessed that the young Martial Artist in front of him was the recently famous Jing Yan.
"Deputy Director, I am Jing Yan, the new member of Luo Jiu Divine Palace," Jing Yan bowed and responded.
"I’ve heard of you. Many people say you are the most outstanding Martial Arts Genius to emerge in the Luli Divine Domain in nearly ten thousand years," the deputy director’s expression softened a bit as he spoke to Jing Yan.
For those without conflicting interests with Jing Yan, their attitude towards such a Martial Arts Genius would generally be more amicable.
At this moment, Chang Hao’s expression didn’t look very pleasant. His rejection of Jing Yan’s application was indeed out of personal bias. From a fair standpoint, Jing Yan did qualify to apply to participate in the advancement assessment to the Fourth Palace.
Chang Hao also didn’t expect Jing Yan to dare cause a stir on the day of the assessment. And the deputy director of the Fourth Palace’s Assessment Department seemed to have a certain favorable impression of Jing Yan, which made Chang Hao feel a bit uneasy. However, he wasn’t too worried, just feeling a bit embarrassed.
"The deputy director’s praise is too much," Jing Yan replied humbly.
The deputy director shook his head, "Jing Yan, your potential is indeed great. However, even if you’re a peerless genius, since you’ve joined the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, you must adhere to its rules. You are a Martial Artist of the Third Palace, yet you come to the Assessment Department to question, which violates the rules. If everyone were to cause a fuss like you, wouldn’t the Assessment Department be thrown into chaos?"
The deputy director’s tone shifted to a more serious one.
"Deputy Director, it’s not that I want to cause trouble. It’s just that I feel there’s an injustice. I am a member of the Third Palace’s Qingmu Department. Qingmu Department’s Chunjin Director had previously assisted me in applying for the advancement assessment with the Assessment Department. However, my application was rejected. If I didn’t meet the application criteria, I would naturally have no complaints. But after much contemplation, I couldn’t find any reason for non-compliance on my part. Therefore, I came to inquire with Elder Chang Hao of the Assessment Department, as I heard he is in charge of this advancement assessment work," Jing Yan stated neither overbearingly nor servilely.
