Chapter 480: Tears of Reunion
Tianxuan College.
Privy Council.
The headquarters of Tianxuan College is located on the outskirts of Wuyuan City.
It has a large complex of magnificent buildings built beside the mountain.
This complex of buildings is comparable to the Tianling Palace.
After all, this is the headquarters of one of the three most powerful forces in the Wuyuan Star Region.
Since Tianxuan College is divided into many branches of different sizes with different divisions of labor, each branch is equivalent to an independent institution.
Therefore, everyone has their own courtyard, all with partition walls.
It can be said that everyone has his own little world.
As a key department of Tianxuan College, the Privy Council was specially arranged in one of the largest areas in the core area of the Tianxuan College complex.
In this courtyard, there is not only a large artificial lake, but also a huge nine-story tower.
The tower is more than ten feet high and its diameter is nearly one hundred meters.
This nine-story tower is the core of the core of Tianxuan Academy.
It is said that it contains relevant information about almost all families and forces in the Wuyuan Star Region, as well as secrets related to some major and minor events that have occurred in the past.
In the entire Wuyuan Star Region, if anyone wanted to obtain any intelligence, the first place that came to mind was the Privy Council of Tianxuan Academy.
Because the intelligence here is the most complete, almost all the major families and forces in the entire Wuyuan Star Region have more or less some secrets in their hands.
However, if you want to obtain information from Tianxuan Academy, spirit stones alone are far from enough.
First of all, you have to be a celebrity, you have to have a certain degree of fame;
Secondly, you need to have enough spiritual stones;
Finally, you also need to know someone in a high position of power in Tianxuan College and have him vouch for you.
All three are indispensable.
These are the three hard and fast rules.
Otherwise, if any of the above conditions cannot be met, the Privy Council will not sell you intelligence no matter how much money you pay. Of course, Wang Ergou is an exception, and he is probably the only one who can buy on credit at Tianxuan College.
The reason for designing these three rules is that they need to be responsible to those who buy the intelligence they have released. Therefore, they will trace the source and make sure that the person who buys the intelligence is able to bear the consequences. After all, they want to make sure that they will not get themselves into trouble after selling the intelligence.
For example, if someone uses the intelligence they have obtained to act as a middleman and resell it, and if it causes any serious consequences, Tianxuan Academy can find this person and his family and make him and his family bear the consequences.
Generally, prominent people have some big family or force behind them to support them. If they want to exchange spirit stones for information, Tianxuan Academy does not need to worry that they will use the information to do something wrong.
After all, in the Wuyuan Star Region, few people in Tianxuan Academy can afford to offend.
If you don't follow their rules, you won't be able to withstand the retaliation of Tianxuan Academy.
You can hide, but your people can't hide.
It is precisely because of this that many people are willing to sell some of the secrets they have obtained from the outside world to Tianxuan Academy in exchange for spirit stones, because Tianxuan Academy will help them keep the secrets.
As for the Tianji Pavilion, another major intelligence agency in the Wuyuan Star Region, what makes them superior to the Privy Council is that they not only have intelligence on the Wuyuan Star Region, but also a lot of intelligence on the other two major star regions.
However, their reputation has never been as good as the Privy Council, and few people are willing to sell information to them.
Because no matter who buys the information, as long as you can afford the spirit stones, they will sell it to you, and they never care about the life or death of those who provide the information.
After all, many secrets are only known by a very small number of people. Once they are leaked, it will be known who leaked them, which will cause great trouble to the person who sold the information.
However, it is precisely because of the lack of bottom line and threshold of Tianji Pavilion that many ordinary people in Wuyuan Star Region would give priority to buying intelligence from them.
However, their intelligence network is obviously not as powerful as Tianxuan Academy, and a lot of intelligence will come back empty-handed from them and eventually have to come to the Privy Council.
Since Li Ruoling accepted the invitation of Xuanqing Zhenren and entered the Privy Council more than two months ago, Xuanqing Zhenren said that she was young, beautiful and had a good image. From then on, she began to work as a "front desk service".
Her main task is to register those who come to the Privy Council to buy intelligence or consult intelligence.
However, due to the three regulations of the Privy Council, there were actually very few customers. It was lucky to have one person come every three to five days.
To put it bluntly, this is actually a sinecure.
There was already someone doing it. Li Ruoling wanted to be friends with Ye Fei because of Ye Fei, so Ye Fei was forced to stay.
Due to the special nature of the Privy Council, most positions are actually in the Privy Tower to organize intelligence from all parties, but Li Ruoling has not passed the probation period yet, so naturally she will not be allowed to access the core intelligence there.
Therefore, Master Xuanqing could only forcibly add another "front desk" to temporarily keep Li Ruoling in the Privy Council.
Privy Council.
In a hall specially used for reception.
After entering the door, there is a very high counter on the left.
Li Ruoling was staring at a large, thick record book with great interest.
This records all the visitors who have visited in the past seven years.
This kind of record book is replaced every ten years. The one Li Ruoling is reading has three years left. After ten years, it will be stored in the Privy Tower for archiving.
It is said that this is an ancient tradition of the Privy Council and has not changed for thousands of years.
What is recorded here are the names of people who come to buy intelligence or consult intelligence, as well as relevant detailed records such as what intelligence they bought and what intelligence they consulted.
Every person has a full page of records.
And for the Privy Council, this itself is already a very valuable piece of information.
The Privy Council not only sells intelligence, but also undertakes the work of helping people find intelligence. As long as you meet the requirements, then as long as you have a need, the Privy Council basically has the ability to help you get the intelligence you want. After all, they have the most powerful intelligence network in the Wuyuan Star Region.
Once someone who meets the three requirements comes to buy intelligence and finds that the Privy Council does not have it, they will immediately issue an order to mobilize the intelligence network under the sole jurisdiction of the Privy Council to begin collecting information.
After Li Ruoling entered the Privy Council, she followed a senior sister and did the job of registration every day.
Although very few people come, she finds it very interesting.
The people who came here one after another in the past seven years, the information they consulted, or the information they bought, were all recorded clearly in the record book in her hand. For more than two months, she has been using it every day like reading a book to enrich herself.
She could understand that behind every piece of intelligence, there was a wonderful and unknown story.
Just as she was watching with great interest, a pretty woman walked up to Li Ruoling and patted her on the shoulder: "Junior Sister Ruoling, I have good news for you."
"Senior Sister Xuanfang, what good news?" Li Ruoling smiled slightly.
The smile seemed forced, as if it was being forcibly squeezed out.
It was because her senior sister Xuan Fang had always been trying to hit on her, and she wanted to introduce her brother who was in the Martial Arts Academy of Tianxuan College to her.
Although her brother Li Ruoling had already met her and was indeed very handsome, she already had someone in her heart and no one else mattered to her. She didn't even want to look at other men, so she was quite annoyed with her senior sister.
However, since Zhenren Xuanqing assigned her to follow Senior Sister Xuanfang to learn some affairs of the Privy Council, she still had a lot to learn from her, and she didn't dare to offend her. She could only endure her unhappiness and deal with her reluctantly every day.
In fact, she is not the kind of person with a good temper and is easy to bully. If she hadn't stayed here to wait for Xuan Qing Zhenren to help her investigate Ye Fei's news, she would have turned against her long ago.
In her opinion, when a woman knows that the other party has a fiancé, but still wants to introduce her brother to her, there must be something wrong with the woman's character. She would never choose to be friends with such a woman, let alone a good sister.
"Hehe, my brother is treating us to dinner tonight!" Senior Sister Xuan Fang said to Li Ruoling with pride, "Junior Sister Ruoling, today is a good day! Did you know that my brother was accepted as a direct disciple by the dean of the martial arts academy today?"
"Really?" Li Ruoling forced a smile again: "Then I have to congratulate Senior Brother Xuansheng. However, I won't go to dinner, I still have a lot of things to do, and I have to go to the Privy Tower to sort out the files in the evening."
The so-called Privy Tower is the tall tower of the Privy Council that is specifically used to store intelligence.
It is said that the tower has existed for tens of thousands of years.
Li Ruoling could not directly access the core secrets of the intelligence for the time being, but she could go in and help several sisters organize some small labels and do some odd jobs. For example, she could help them write how many pieces of intelligence to put in a certain position, which category, which box, and other small things.
In fact, it was because Master Xuanqing took special care of her because of Ye Fei. Most people who had been in the Privy Council for less than five years were not even qualified to enter the Privy Tower.
"They keep asking you to help them with chores. You can refuse! Junior Sister Ruoling, go ahead. Let's go together tonight!" Xuan Fang looked at Li Ruoling's arm and said, "Senior Sister, please consider this as a request from you. I promised my brother that I will take you with me."
"If you say so, then I will definitely not go!" Li Ruoling replied coldly, and continued to look down at the registration book in front of her, which was about the size of A4 paper in length and width, but was ten centimeters thick.
"Junior Sister Ruoling, are you really unwilling to consider my brother? He is now the disciple of the dean of our martial arts academy?" Xuan Fang said proudly, as if it was a great thing for her brother to become the direct disciple of the dean of a branch academy.
"Senior Sister Xuanfang, I told you a long time ago that I already have a fiancé!" Li Ruoling suddenly looked gloomy and said in a cold voice: "You are very disrespectful, do you know that?"
"Ah..." Xuan Fang sighed softly, "My silly sister, please don't be offended by what I have to say. Didn't you say that he has been missing in the Demon Abyss for more than ten years? Even if he didn't encounter any accidents in the Demon Abyss, he would have been directly teleported from the Demon Abyss to the other two star regions.
Why are you still waiting here? Maybe she has already married and had children in other star regions, and her children are already grown up."
"So what! Does it have anything to do with you?" Li Ruoling said coldly, "Whether he waits for me or not is his business! Whether I wait for him or not is my business! What does it have to do with you between the two?"
“You…” Xuan Fang was speechless after being rebuked by Li Ruoling. However, thinking about the fact that she had promised her brother that she would bring Li Ruoling to have dinner together tonight, she had to hold back her anger and continued to coax Li Ruoling: “Look, girl, I didn’t say anything, why are you so angry!
What I mean is, your fiancé has been in the Demonic Abyss for more than ten years and has not come out yet, can he still be alive?
Except for a few powerful people in this world, who can stay in there for so long? Even if they are still alive, they would have been possessed by the devil long ago. "
Xuan Fang suddenly grabbed Li Ruoling's hands and changed the subject: "So, Junior Sister Ruoling, I am really doing this for your own good. Listen to my advice. You should get married as soon as possible while you are still young and beautiful. Don't wait any longer. You have always said that my brother is a very good person. Why don't you really consider becoming my sister-in-law?
My brother is different now than before. In a few decades, my brother will definitely take over his master's position and be promoted to the dean of the martial arts academy.
The dean of the Martial Arts Academy will be the vice-dean of the Tianxuan Academy. A few decades later, you will be the wife of the vice-dean! "
"This pie is really not drawn very well!" At this moment, a very abrupt male voice suddenly came from outside the room: "What if after she marries your brother, your brother suddenly dies before he can become the vice president?"
"Who are you?" Xuan Fang immediately shouted coldly at a young man in white who walked in from the door: "Who are you? How dare you come to the Privy Council and act so presumptuously!"
"Ah?" At the same time, when Li Ruoling also saw clearly the young man in white who had just walked in from the door, she immediately covered her mouth with both hands, and the next second, tears instantly flowed like a fountain.
Then, she rushed out from behind the counter and ran to the young man in white with an excited look on her face.
She stopped in front of him, looked him up and down carefully, and suddenly asked crying: "Wow... I, I am not dreaming, am I?"
"Of course not!" Ye Fei smiled slightly, and then suddenly asked very seriously: "You must have been bullied a lot in Tianxuan College over the years, right? Tell me, who do you want to beat up the most now?"
Li Ruoling, with tears on her face, gently shook her head. Although she was crying at this moment, the corners of her mouth were obviously smiling. She said to Ye Fei in a crying voice: "I want... I want a hug!"
"Hug?" Ye Fei was stunned and looked at Xuan Fang who was standing not far away: "Who is the hug she is talking about? You? Oh... So your name is Baobao? Did you bully my wife?"
Li Ruoling rolled her eyes at Ye Fei, then suddenly threw herself into Ye Fei's arms, hugged Ye Fei's neck tightly, and burst into tears on her shoulder: "Wuwu, wuwu... You bad guy, where have you been for the past ten years? Wuwu... Many people around me said that you must be gone. My seventh sister advised me to get married, my parents advised me to get married, my grandfather advised me to get married, and even since the year before last, even my great-grandfather has started to persuade me to get married. Wuwu... I just don't believe you are dead. I know you will come back to find me, wuwu..."
