Godslayer: My Girlfriend Red Tassel

Headquarters in Beijing, Commander's Office.

A dozen or so people gathered together, and a somber atmosphere permeated the surroundings.

The teacher, his face dark with anger, glared and puffed out his beard. He suddenly picked up his large tea mug and gulped down two mouthfuls of tea, saying with exasperation:

"Zuo Qing, are you out of your mind? Why hide such a thing? Just get it over with quickly, and you'll be in this predicament today! How did things come to this!"

Zuo Qing lowered his head and remained silent.

"If you ask me, this is no big deal." Guan Zai swung his legs and said disdainfully, "Zuo Qing didn't take advantage of any girl. They were in love and grew up together. What's wrong with them getting married and having a child? It's none of other people's business. Mind your own business."

"..." Zuo Qing smiled awkwardly, not daring to reply.

“What Guan says is absolutely right. In the Great Xia Dynasty, it is indeed rare for anyone to interfere in such private matters. But the problem lies precisely in Commander Zuo’s identity,” Shao Pingge sighed and said slowly.

"He holds the most prominent position in the country, so even the slightest flaw in him will be magnified infinitely. Moreover, the rules of the Night Watch clearly stipulate that cadres must be strict with themselves in their personal lives and must truthfully report the situation of children born out of wedlock. There must be no ambiguity or cover-up. Therefore, Commander Zuo's actions were indeed a disciplinary error."

Guan was speechless, opening his mouth several times but not knowing what to say, then suddenly pointed to the quail in the corner and said:

"Chen Muyi, look what you've done!"

"This... I didn't do it," Chen Muye muttered.

Shao Pingge gloated, "Wasn't that done by Su Yan and Lin Qiye? They were all soldiers you trained in Cangnan, what excuse do you have?"

Chen Muye lowered his head, picking at his fingers, without saying a word.

...These two troublemakers are such a headache! Why did they have to report someone for no reason? And now the investigation has uncovered disciplinary issues. What are we going to do now?!

The Master rubbed his throbbing head and slowed his speech, saying:

"Zuo Qing, what are your plans at this moment? Be sure to tell us as soon as possible."

Zuo Qing nodded, and said with shame, "Master, I wish to resign to take responsibility..."

"Nonsense!" the Master interrupted sternly. "How can the position of Commander be treated so lightly?"

"Master, this is no child's play; I have given this matter considerable thought." Zuo Qing raised his head, his eyes bright, and said in a steady voice, "Since Commander Ye left and I took over, the power structure has actually been loosening, like a building about to collapse. The slightest mistake will cause it to crumble. I have only been holding on..."

"No, child, you have done very well," the teacher said gently.

"I know I've done pretty well, but even though I've tried my best to do this much, I'm still missing the most crucial thing!"

Zuo Qing sighed deeply and spoke with deep regret:

"It's all about strength! That's the crucial strength I'm lacking! The Night's Watch is different from other organizations. The commander of the Night's Watch is like a general who leads from the front on an ancient battlefield."

"The difference in status between a general who can lead the charge on the front lines and one who can only issue orders from the rear is like heaven and earth in the hearts of us soldiers. What's more, now that various extraordinary forces are deeply entrenched, my strength is really not worth mentioning."

Guan said in a deep voice, "You don't need to worry, we will support you in terms of strength."

"They're completely different, worlds apart," Zuo Qing sighed with deep emotion.

"I served as Commander Ye's secretary for more than ten years, accompanying him through countless big events and small storms, and seeing all kinds of forces. No matter how troublesome the opponent was, as long as the commander sat there steadily, everyone would immediately lower their heads like quails, not daring to even breathe too loudly. Even now, thinking about that scene still makes my heart surge."

"But now, those forces are all smiles on the surface, but in secret, who can respect me, a successor with mediocre talent... I have disgraced Commander Ye."

The Master looked up and exchanged a glance with Guan Zai, both feeling somewhat depressed.

The phenomena mentioned by Zuo Qing were already well known to everyone present.

Ye Fan's ability to become the unique and irreplaceable commander of the Night Watch is undoubtedly due to his astonishing and extremely powerful strength.

"Truth lies only within the range of cannons, and dignity lies only on the edge of a sword." This profound saying applies to the battlefield amidst the smoke of gunpowder, and it is equally profoundly reflected in the turbulent political arena.

When a person becomes so powerful that everyone is wary and dares not provoke them, then no matter how complex or insidious the political conspiracy that the opponent meticulously plans, it is nothing but a paper tiger in the face of his indestructible strength. It will be easily punctured and become a joke!

Master and Guan are at the pinnacle of human capabilities, beyond the Night Watch's job system, and cannot directly and forcefully intervene. Ultimately, it still depends on Zuo Qing himself.

Zuo Qing's performance in this regard always seemed somewhat inadequate, and he always fell short, unable to reach the heights and realms of Ye Fan.

Among the major families, only the Baili family is fully and firmly supporting Zuo Qing. The other families have already begun to diversify their investments, secretly speculating who will be the next commander.

"So this is by no means a decision I made on a whim; this incident was merely the trigger. I sincerely suggest that the Night's Watch elect a new commander. As for me, I will return to a civilian post and continue to contribute my strength to the organization."

Having said these words that had been buried in his heart for so long, Zuo Qing felt all the pressure gone and relaxed considerably. He smiled and said:

"Master, I think you would be perfect as commander."

The master shook his head repeatedly: "I'm too old. I can even fall asleep while reading, let alone revise documents."

"Locked up, locked up in youth..."

"No, no, no~~" Guan was so frightened that she waved her hands.

"If you can get caught by the surveillance team for having only one girlfriend, how can I possibly hide my 639 online lovers? I'll be nailed to the cross and burned at the stake!"

"..."

Everyone was speechless and unable to utter a word.

"Snapped!"

The sound of slamming the table attracted everyone's attention, and one person stood up disdainfully.

"Look at how timid you all are! Is being a commander really as difficult as you think? I believe I have the ability and the courage to take on this responsibility. I choose myself and will lead everyone to create a brighter future!"

"..."

Guan glared at her through gritted teeth for a while, then finally couldn't help but say, "Xia Simeng, I said Chen Muye didn't mention you, right? Go squat in the corner!"

"Oh......"

"Why are you being so fierce? Physically punishing your subordinates? Be careful, or I'll report you to the disciplinary committee."

"...Master, could you please use a ruler to strike her palm?"

"can."

Xia Simeng: "!!!"
