Miler, who has a system for giving up

As Ye Dongjun spoke, he finished the last bite of his toast, then picked up his coffee cup, took a small sip, and looked at me with excitement. His eyes sparkled, as if he couldn't wait to face those people.

Yan Luo and Qin Yimeng went to the kitchen to get shumai, xiaolongbao, and dipping sauce. They placed them in front of me, one on each side, with their hands on my shoulders.

"Don't be afraid, Lele. We've all been there before. It's like our ID cards. There's nothing wrong with it. As for why we didn't contact you before, your master must have covered it up for you in some way. We'll go with you."

"Yes, that's right, Sister Lele has us."

The two of them were chatting and laughing, which made me laugh. "Thank you both. With you here, I really feel much more at ease," I said, smiling at everyone.

"Then let's eat breakfast quickly, and we'll set off together later," Han Heng said gently, sitting down next to me.

After dinner, we boarded a minivan and headed towards the headquarters of the Immortal Cultivation Administration.

Along the way, everyone chatted and laughed, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Looking at my friends beside me, my heart was filled with gratitude and warmth. With them by my side, I believe any difficulty can be overcome.

Soon, we arrived at the headquarters of the Cultivator Management Bureau. It was located right in the city center, and the building soared into the clouds, exuding a majestic and solemn aura.

Upon entering the lobby, a staff member greeted me. "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" he asked with a smile.

“We’re here to register our identities,” Ye Dongjun said.

"Okay, please follow me." The staff member led us to an office.

There was an elderly man in the office who looked very kind and approachable.

"Hello, young people, welcome to the Cultivator Management Bureau. You look familiar, you must be rising stars from the five major families, right? What brings you here today?" He smiled warmly.

Everyone responded, "Hello, Uncle Zhang," their tone respectful and polite.

After exchanging greetings, Sikong Feng spoke first, saying, "We are from the five major families. This lady is a good friend of ours. We received a letter from your bureau yesterday inviting her to come here, so we came together."

After saying that, his eyes became serious, and he continued, "However, we have other things to take care of, so we hope to complete the formalities as soon as possible."

Uncle Zhang smiled and nodded to show his understanding, then looked at Sikong Feng with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He said slowly, "As expected of the young masters and ladies of the five great families, you are truly young and promising. The fact that you personally accompanied your friend here shows the depth of your friendship."

His words revealed his recognition and respect for the five major families, while also expressing his approval of Sikong Feng and others.

Upon hearing this, Sikong Feng and the others all showed a faint look of pride.

As members of the five major families, they have always been in the spotlight, and Uncle Zhang's praise today makes them even more proud.

His gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on me.

Uncle Zhang looked at me, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "You're very brave, not nervous or reserved at all. You're a good girl. You can just call me Uncle Zhang." His voice was full of praise and affirmation, which made me feel happy.

Then, he picked up a form from the table and handed it to me: "Young lady, please fill out this form first." I smiled and nodded, took the form with both hands, and began to carefully read the contents.

The form listed questions about personal information, educational background, work experience, and personal qualities, which I was required to answer truthfully. I picked up my pen and carefully filled it out, stroke by stroke. Every word was written exceptionally neatly, without any errors or corrections.

As I filled out the form, I could feel the gazes of passersby frequently falling on me. Perhaps they were curious about me, the newcomer, or perhaps they were observing the members of the five major families. But I remained calm and focused on the task at hand, as if everything around me was irrelevant.

Finally, I finished filling out the form, checked it to make sure it was correct, stood up, and handed it back to Uncle Zhang.

Uncle Zhang took the form, glanced at it, paused for a long time at the cultivation level, and finally nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, thank you, young lady, for cooperating with our work. There's something else I need to discuss with you privately."

Han Heng looked at me with a worried expression. I nodded to him to show that I was alright, and he was relieved.

Then he looked at Uncle Zhang, who smiled back and said not to worry. Afterwards, Han Heng led the four of them out of the office to wait for my news.

After the office door closed, only Uncle Zhang and I were left in the room. Uncle Zhang first asked me to sit opposite him. After I sat down, he picked up the teapot and teacup on the table while talking to me and poured me a cup of tea.

"I saw the form you just filled out. Your name is Miler, right? A while ago, there were sudden signs and noises of cultivators fighting in our city. It was really a headache! But don't worry, I just wanted to get some information from you. Try this, it's freshly arrived tea."

I slowly picked up the teacup, took a small sip, letting the rich aroma of the tea spread in my mouth, and then said slowly, "This tea is indeed excellent, West Lake Longjing, with a mellow flavor. I have indeed heard about the fight, but I don't know the specific details. However, what would you like to know?"

Uncle Zhang was clearly surprised that someone so young could accurately identify the type of tea after just a sip. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his opinion of me rose even higher.

"According to our investigation, the fight took place near your villa. Afterwards, they went to a lake, but no body was found. So, I'd like to ask if this matter is related to you? Of course, our Cultivator Management Bureau doesn't intervene in cases involving pre-arranged fights with signed agreements, or situations where someone is provoked and then killed in retaliation. We mainly handle incidents like those involving assassins. After all, if assassins are allowed to run rampant, the vulnerable groups among cultivators will face enormous threats. If the number of cultivators decreases due to the existence of these assassins, it will have an immeasurable impact on the entire cultivation world."

I'm quite satisfied with the Cultivator Management Bureau, which my master built. Even though he's not around, they haven't caused any trouble!

After thinking all this through, I casually took out the seal that had been bound to me by blood and played with it in my hand.

This is no ordinary seal; it represents absolute power and status in controlling this place!

If I can successfully subdue this force, I'll have a certain level of confidence, and at least I won't be too helpless in the confrontation with the Immortal Realm. After all, they can't just descend to the mortal realm to deal with me!

When Uncle Zhang saw the seal, a flicker of doubt and shock crossed his eyes. He snatched the seal from my hand uncertainly, as if afraid it would fly away. He held the seal tightly, seemingly examining it carefully.

"Where did you get this seal? You've actually successfully recognized it as your own? Then, what about the original owner of this seal? What did you do to him?" He stood up excitedly, gripping the seal tightly, staring at me sharply, while also keenly observing the aura emanating from the seal.

I smiled slightly, calmly took my seal back from his hand, and replied, "This seal was a gift from my master, so naturally I was able to successfully recognize it as my master! Besides, it seems you know my master? As for him, everything is fine!" I deliberately kept him in suspense, wanting to see Uncle Zhang's next reaction.

Uncle Zhang's expression became very complicated after hearing what I said; he seemed to be trying to process the news.

"So that's how it is..." he murmured to himself, "I never thought he was still alive."

After a moment of silence, Uncle Zhang took a deep breath and sat down again.

"I didn't expect him to have taken on a disciple, and your cultivation technique is indeed very similar to his, yet different. Your technique is more subtle, and it's difficult to detect unless you deliberately investigate. Since he has already given you this seal, it means you have gained his approval. If you need any help in the future, just ask. However, for now, the Cultivator Management Bureau can only arrange a national pilot officer position for you. Otherwise, others may be dissatisfied with and question Elder Jiang's decision, after all, he has been missing for so long without any news."

Hearing this, I smiled and nodded to show my understanding. I secretly rejoiced, thinking how fortunate I was to have this seal; it would make things much easier in the future.

"Do you have any other clues about this incident?" Uncle Zhang's expression gradually returned to calm as he continued to ask.

"Actually, the reason they were hunting me down was because of the martial arts technique my master passed down to me. Later, my master investigated and found out the truth, and then told me what happened..."

So I described the scene I had experienced to Uncle Zhang in detail.

Uncle Zhang listened attentively while taking notes rapidly, occasionally interjecting with questions in an attempt to extract more detailed information from him.

"Okay, thank you so much for bringing us such important information. I will notify you immediately if there are any new developments or changes. Now you can go out and meet up with your friends! By the way, regarding the powers of the advance officer, although they are indeed very powerful, I hope you will use them carefully, after all, it concerns the reputation of the entire Cultivator Management Bureau. Alright, I need to release this message quickly."

After saying that, Uncle Zhang stood up, a friendly smile on his face, as if he was eager to see me off. However, at that moment, my hand, which was about to open the door, suddenly stopped and then slowly withdrew.

Then, I turned around and asked with a smile, "Uncle Zhang, you've appointed me as the vanguard officer, so shouldn't you give me something to prove my identity? I can't keep taking out the gifts my master gave me every time, can I? If someone who knows my master takes them away, he'll definitely be unhappy."

Uncle Zhang was clearly stunned; he obviously hadn't expected me to recover so quickly. After all, my master had been missing for a long time, and Li Lichen was now basically in charge. Everyone knew this, but no one dared to say it aloud.

Just now, he just wanted to calm me down first, let me leave here, and then ask his superiors for their opinions before making a final decision.

However, this Li Lichen was once my master's subordinate. After my master disappeared, it was because he led the stabilization of several disturbances that everyone trusted him so much.

My sudden appearance now brings with it the news that my master is still alive and hasn't disappeared, which is both a blessing and a curse for them. His tone shifted from gentle to stern as he said to me, "Well done, kid, quick thinking!"

His gaze was sharp as a hawk's, fixed on me as if trying to pierce my very soul. I could feel a powerful aura emanating from him, inspiring awe in me.

I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. I knew this wasn't the time to back down; I had to face the situation. So, I straightened my back, unleashing my inner strength, and met his gaze without fear.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, a barely perceptible smile playing at the corners of his lips, seemingly satisfied with my performance.

Then, in a deep and authoritative voice, he continued, "However, don't think you can get away with this so easily. The message you brought is important, but it cannot be an excuse for you to act recklessly. Here, everything must follow the rules and discipline."

I nodded, indicating that I understood what he meant. I knew that although I had brought good news about my master, everyone in this organization had their own responsibilities and missions, and personal feelings should not affect the overall interests.

Uncle Zhang picked up the phone and said, "Lichen, I have news about Elder Jiang, and Elder Jiang's apprentice is in my office." Without hearing a response, Uncle Zhang hung up.

A short while later, a middle-aged man opened the door and came in. He was dressed very simply and looked at me sitting in the chair as soon as he entered.

This middle-aged man was Li Lichen. Then, he turned to me and said, "Come with me." After saying that, he strode forward, and I silently followed behind him.

When we opened the door and went outside, my friends clearly recognized Li Lichen.

They saw me follow him out and immediately hurried after me, as if to convey a message: I am not alone, don't try to bully me.

However, Li Lichen did not make any move to stop him; instead, he appeared very calm and composed.

Instead, those protecting him seemed a little nervous, and they tried to separate me from my friend.

But Li Lichen simply waved his hand, signaling them to step back. So, these people obediently returned to their original positions.

Then, Li Lichen led us toward the elevator.

He remained silent the entire way, but his steps were firm and powerful. His protectors followed closely behind us, stopping only at the elevator entrance.

They stood there quietly, watching us enter the elevator.
