My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 329 Zhu Siqi is actually the Heavenly Emperor's confidant?
"Inspector Li Wei, this is the remains of a dragon god from the East Sea. It can be used as the main material for a top-tier acquired moral treasure. Even if it is integrated into a divine weapon, it can enhance the weapon's armor protection. Please accept it."

"Inspector Li Wei, I have been serving in the Underworld for over 30,000 years, and I have unfortunately contracted Hellfire Syndrome, which I simply cannot bear! Therefore, I implore you to grant me this opportunity!"

"Consider this Imperial Reincarnation Book a small gift from me. Next month, the seventh great-granddaughter of the Emperor of Gouchen Shanggong will give birth. Whoever takes this reincarnation book, commits suicide, drinks the Meng Po soup to wash away their past life, and will immediately become a descendant of the Emperor, truly defying fate."

"Your Excellency, my daughter is the top female scholar of the 1777th Qingqiu Immortal Aid Class. She has not yet lost her virginity. I wonder if she will have the opportunity to serve you and receive your guidance?"

"Of course! I heard the adults like rice bowls, and my daughter and I are both excellent at fried rice, so how about it?"

These past few days, Li Wei has truly witnessed the desire of the cultivators of Zhongzhou for a divine office—from those who bring gifts, those who give books on reincarnation, to those who give them away.

Although it was just a position in the Immortal Abode's Selection Office, it attracted countless people eager to apply for it.

If Li Wei wanted to, his assets could probably double in a short time, but unfortunately, the Jade Emperor had already decided on the candidates for the divine officials this time.

Despite His Majesty's repeated pronouncements that Li Wei can use someone he likes or discard someone he doesn't, He has never actually said that Li Wei can find someone outside the list.

Therefore, even if Li Wei has the right to conduct interviews, he can only interview those selected by the Jade Emperor. If he selects someone else, His Majesty will definitely be unhappy.

In the end, Li Wei could only refuse these people who came to his door with tears in his eyes. However, many of them had a true god backing them up, and sometimes even if Li Wei wanted to refuse, he couldn't. He could only patiently and repeatedly engage in feigned compliance with them.

As a result, Li Wei, who was not defeated in the Wenchang Danying Small Grotto, was overwhelmed by the interpersonal interactions between immortals, and was exhausted every day.

Seeing this, Mi Hongzhi couldn't help but sigh and said, "It seems that being the Heavenly Emperor's special envoy isn't easy. Have you decided on the candidate this time?"

"I've basically made up my mind, but there's one person I'm still undecided about."

Mi Hongzhi walked over curiously: "Is there anyone else who can't make up their mind? Who is it?"

Li Wei pushed over the list of appointments and dismissals given by the Supreme Emperor Haotian. When Mi Hongzhi saw the three words "Zhu Siqi" on it, she was quite surprised.

"Minister Zhu? After the incident in Tianlang City, he hadn't been able to transfer to Zhongzhou City. I thought he had lost his future! I didn't expect him to find such a powerful backer so quietly?"

This time, the entire list of appointments and removals was recommended by the Emperor Shanghao's trusted confidants. If Zhu Siqi can enter this circle, she might actually become a star in the future!
However, what Mi Hongzhi couldn't understand was: "Minister Zhu is known as a kind-hearted person. Didn't you have a good time working with him before? So recommending him should be a good thing!"

Li Wei shook his head:

"Back when I was in Sirius City, I saved the remnant soul of the female stationmaster of the Sirius City teleportation station. She said she saw the two-dimensional pixels of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance in Zhu Siqi!"

Mi Hongzhi was immediately shocked: "What? Minister Zhu is a member of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance?"

"Even if they aren't from the Heaven-Slaying Alliance, they must be secretly cooperating with them!"

Considering the possible relationship between His Majesty Shanghao and the Heaven-Slaying Alliance, and given that Li Wei and Zhu Siqi had previously worked together as superior and subordinate,

Therefore, the meaning of the Jade Emperor adding him to the list is quite clear—He hopes that Li Wei will choose Zhu Siqi!

This is what makes Li Wei unable to make up his mind.

What is His Majesty planning to do by sending the members of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance to the Central Plains Education Bureau? Could it be that the Heaven-Slaying Alliance is also starting to plan the education of the Holy Path?
With this in mind, Li Wei decided to contact Fa Tian Hun You.

[Is education the sacred path?]

Fa Tianhun denied it, saying: "Recently, our alliance has been busy expanding in the game market, and there are currently no personnel changes."

Of course, the Archangels are directly under the Archon, and sometimes their communications are highly encrypted, so much so that even I cannot easily see them!

Of course, if you're really concerned, I can try to steal this part of the chat history for you, but I'll need time.

Although the chat and communication system of the Fatian Alliance was built by Fatian Soul Traveler, the most crucial core permissions are still in the hands of the Fatian Master. There are some secrets that even Fatian Soul Traveler does not know.

"Then please!"

After ending the call, Li Wei stood there for a moment in thought, and finally said, "No matter what, let's meet him first."

So he called Zhu Siqi directly.

The latter arrived at Li Wei's office in less than three hours and greeted him warmly:
"Little Li, it's been several months since we last met in Tianlang City, hasn't it? You're doing better and better these days. You must give your old brother a helping hand when you have the chance!"

Li Wei quickly stood up to greet him: "Minister Zhu, you've been my old leader for a long time. What are you saying? I owe my success today to your guidance!"

Did Zhu Siqi teach Li Wei?

From the moment Li Wei took office, he never left his office. When he finally managed to get out, Li Wei forcibly dispatched him to Sirius City as a pioneer.

Brat!
I haven't settled the score with you yet.
Zhu Siqi still harbored resentment towards Li Wei for sending him to scout ahead, but now he yearned to fill the position of the Central Plains Selection Instructor, so naturally he dared not offend Li Wei, and smiled even more brightly as he said:
"Inspector Li, you never forget those who dug the well when you drink the water. You are truly a model of a virtuous official in our Central Plains. May I ask why you summoned me here this time?"

"It's just a simple chat! Although I used to work under the minister, I didn't know much about you, and I didn't even know what school of Tao you practiced. I feel very ashamed."

Zhu Siqi narrowed his eyes, knowing the main event was about to begin, and quickly said, "Don't you know that I cultivate the Path of Thunder and the Sacred Path of Education?"

"This is indeed the first time I've heard of it."

"Ah, it's my fault for being so busy with cultivation and official duties that I've forgotten to get close to my subordinates, so it's normal that you don't know! Actually, when I first joined the New Sea Immortal Mansion, I was working in the Selection Department, and only later did I go to the Thunder Department." "Oh? So, Minister, you must be very familiar with the affairs of educating the Holy Path?"

"Of course, I'm very familiar with it! If I hadn't received the training from the Holy Path of Education Law System, I wouldn't have been able to possess the ability to repair the law system."

Now that he mentioned it, Li Wei did remember that Zhu Siqi was a special technical talent. He could directly repair the law system even with only the Nascent Soul cultivation level. This was unique in the entire Xinhai City and extremely rare even in the entire Central State!

Li Wei poured Zhu Siqi a cup of tea: "If you, Minister, were to evaluate the current work of the Central Plains Election Bureau on the Holy Way, what do you think of their performance?"

"Ha! To me, it's a complete mess! The sacred path was born for the purpose of education, and naturally it should serve education!"

"But those guys in the Zhongzhou City Education Selection Office only care about money. They actually make students work part-time while studying. It's the biggest waste of talent!"

"If you're going to cut them, at least let them get used to their nature first!"

"Even the leeks (a metaphor for farmers) have a night to catch their breath, but the students in Zhongzhou City... well, let's not even talk about it!"

It seems that Li Wei and he share some of the same ideas.

The two then talked for almost an hour, during which Zhu Siqi introduced his cultivation principles, his aspirations in the path of education, and even his future plans for a divine position and office.

This gave Livy a clear understanding of him; in general, he advocated for a transformation of the Holy Way.

This is actually the thought of most cultivators of the Holy Path in the lower realms. After all, the Holy Path of Education has developed to the point where all the available divine positions have already been created. If no changes are made, there will be no place for those who come after.

So, who wouldn't want to be a star?
Zhu Siqi's dream is to become a god. If she could ascend to godhood through education, that would be even better. And now, the key step lies with Li Wei.

Therefore, he repeatedly implied in his words: "If I can become the Director of the Selection and Education Department of Zhongzhou Immortal Palace, I will definitely follow your lead. At that time, the Selection and Education Department and the Xuanzheng Supervision Group will cooperate amicably to vigorously develop the education and sacred teachings industry in Zhongzhou City!"

Li Wei tentatively asked, "What if I wanted to vigorously develop public schools of the Holy Way?"

Zhu Siqi chuckled as if she had heard something funny, and subconsciously said, "Little Li, don't tease me. The Public Holy Path has long since lost its place in the world."

Li Wei smiled but remained silent.

Zhu Siqi's smile vanished. His pupils trembled as if in an earthquake, and after a long silence, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice:
"I do support public schools, but you know the current situation in Zhongzhou City without me having to explain it."

"Private schools are rampant, and public schools are disappearing. If we were to make changes rashly, it would affect the interests of countless people, many of whom are top-tier aristocratic families. So, are you sure you're not joking?"

Will the minister support me?

Zhu Siqi swallowed hard: "Is this His Majesty's will?"

"What do you think?"

"Hmph! Since that's the case, then I certainly won't back down. If we can accomplish this, then the two of us will probably be remembered in the annals of immortals!"

Upon hearing this, Li Wei had already made up his mind, but he still did not make a promise on the spot: "Then Minister Zhu, you should go back and wait for news! The final appointment this time still needs His Majesty's decision."

After bowing, Zhu Siqi turned and left without leaving anything behind.

He was the only one among those who came to Li Wei for an interview who didn't give gifts, which actually earned him more points with Li Wei.

What a pity. He was a member of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance.

The Heavenly Dao 0.91 system emerged silently from Zhu Siqi's body, like a shark.

The system entered Li Wei's body to examine him when he first shook hands with Zhu Siqi. After this period of intrusion, it had already figured out all the secrets inside him.

[Master, it's confirmed! There's a pixelated panda hidden inside his body. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Sixth Archangel who was almost killed by our lightning tribulation before.]

According to the Soul of the Heavenly Slayers, there are only nine Heavenly Slayers in the Heavenly Slayers Alliance, each with their own unique main quest and a key piece in the Heavenly Slayers Alliance.

But now, the Supreme Emperor and the Lord of Punishment have assigned the Sixth Archangel to the Selection Division of Zhongzhou City.
How could we not share something this interesting on the dark web? After all, this Great Sage is widely recognized as the "nemesis of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance"!

[Heh! You, Li Wei, are the true nemesis of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance!]

After hearing the intelligence from Li Wei's side, the Dark Web couldn't help but feel sorry for the Heaven-Slaying Alliance. Just how unlucky were they to be caught by a mortal every time?
Judging from the situation in the Forbidden Land of Bewitching Souls, the advancement law of the Imperial Cult was part of the scheme of the Supreme Emperor Haotian, and there is also a high probability that the Heavenly Extermination Alliance was part of the scheme of the Supreme Emperor Haotian. There must be some connection between the two in secret.

[The Sixth Archangel's mission to the Church of Middle-earth this time is definitely not for a simple purpose!]

The dark web will never forget that when the Supreme Emperor of Heaven attempted to change Li Wei's Cleansing Life Orthodox Cult System into the Cleansing Life Defeat Cult System.

A single word can make all the difference in meaning.

Could the Sixth Archangel be a pawn in order to recreate the "defeat of the Church"?
This is something we absolutely must be wary of.

After a moment's thought, the dark web decided to—call in reinforcements!

[With Venus currently overseeing Fatai City, the pressure on the front lines of the Blissful Demon Land is immense. If we can create some chaos in Zhongzhou City, we can buy ourselves more time.]
