I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 986

Tiannan State, Pu City.

As the state city, the core institutions of the entire Tiannan are all located here, naturally including the Sky Scale Guard division.

In the study within the Government Office, Kuang Jie sat in a chair, his right hand wrapped in a bandage.

Because his hand injury hasn't healed, he can't use a pen, so he can only choose to dictate. The Record Officer beside him is responsible for recording the content on paper.

After leaving Fengmu County, he followed the location given by Chen Mo and first went to Nine-headed Mountain, where the piled-up corpses formed hills, making his brain buzz.

The Gu God Sect has astonishingly revived, with hundreds of sect members hidden within his jurisdiction!

This was just one small base, and it nearly turned the entire Fengmu County into a ghost town. Its rapid development and destructive power were evident!

If the trend isn't quickly checked, the consequences could be unimaginable!

Kuang Jie realized the severity of the situation and dared not conceal anything, writing down the causes and consequences meticulously, emphasizing the contributions of Chen Mo and others, without mentioning himself.

The Record Officer felt something was off as he wrote and questioned, "My lord, if you report like this, all the credit goes to those Capital Officials. Don't we become mere supporting characters, unable to gain any advantage?"

"Being able to keep our lives is good enough, and you still think of claiming credit?" Kuang Jie gave him a sidelong glance, speaking irritatedly, "Do you think it's the same as dealing with other divisions where credit is shared evenly?"

"That's Chen Mo!"

"The former person in charge of Tiannan, Xu Chengbi, was killed by him. You're really thinking I'm as tough as iron-necked, aren't you?"

The Record Officer glanced at Kuang Jie's right hand and muttered, "Even a powerful outsider can't suppress the local snake, yet they act rashly, not only hurting you but also beating our brothers to half-death. Isn't that a bit too much?"

"Saying such things shows your lack of experience; you've never seen a truly ferocious dragon crossing the river."

"Such a person utterly disregards you because you're not even in his field of vision."

"As a local snake, you should just meekly give way to avoid being crushed by him, unintentionally."

Kuang Jie moved his wrist and sighed, "To be honest, I really should thank Chen Mo. Without this mighty dragon stepping in, forget the official hat, even whether I could keep my head would be in question… This beating really was worth it."

He knows well that the other's action wasn't solely due to offense but also a reprimand against the inaction of the Tiannan division.

And when he wrote the introduction letter, he had already reached an understanding with Chen Mo to shift the credit to him, in a way to divert attention and ensure the superior overlooks his "neglect."

The Record Officer didn't say much more upon seeing this and organized the document as required.

Just about to hand it over to Kuang Jie for review, suddenly, there was a clamor of footsteps and shouting outside.

"Stop!"

"Who let you in?!"

Soon after, the door was pushed open with a "bang," and a white-haired elder in rough cloth garments walked in slowly.

"Are you Kuang Jie?" the elder asked in a deep voice.

Kuang Jie furrowed his brows, raised his hand to stop the pursuing Assistant Officers from behind, and nodded, "It's me, and you are…?"

Kuang Jie felt this name familiar as if he'd heard it somewhere.

However, there was no time to delve further as he bowed his head, saying, "Lord Zhong, whatever you require, feel free to instruct. This subordinate will fully cooperate!"

The Sky Scale Guard is independent of the Six Ministries and only accountable to the Imperial Family, and the elder before him represents Imperial Power with his token, so he dare not neglect.

Zhong Lihe asked, "Two household officials of Sky Scale Guard have come from the Capital City, arriving in Tiannan two days ago. Are you aware of this?"

This time, he followed the Empress' order, secretly accompanying Chen Mo to the Southern Border, intending to protect them thoroughly.

It's quite embarrassing, but he managed to lose track midway...

Technically, Zhong Lihe shouldn't commit such a basic mistake, yet the fact is, he feels his perception was veiled.

For two days, he had practically traversed most of Tiannan without finding any trace of Chen Mo and others.

Worried that something might have happened to them, he no longer cared about concealing his identity and directly visited the Sky Scale Guard division, hoping to discover something.

"Two household officials?"

Kuang Jie was stunned for a moment, hesitantly replying, "Are you referring to Mr. Chen?"

Zhong Lihe's eyebrows twitched, he sat a bit straighter, "You've met them?"

"Met them, yes. There's a long story behind it." Kuang Jie stood up, handing over that report to Zhong Lihe, "This records the occurrences of the past two days; I implore Lord Zhong to review."
