Outside Of Time

Chapter 284 Promotion Again (1)

Time flowed by and in the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

The black-clothed girl from Dongyou Island was imprisoned in the Black Division. Even though her cultivation base was sealed with ten magic sealing rings, she was still unconvinced and hurled all kinds of curses at Xu Qing. Unfortunately for her, sound couldn't be transmitted from the dungeon room she was in.

However, she was clearly energetic. Even though seven days had passed and the Seven Blood Eyes had not released her yet, she became even crazier.

After Xu Qing found out about this, he ordered for another ten rings to be added on her body. Under the huge sealing force, the black-clothed girl became even more crazy, but she didn't have much strength, so her daily cursing lessened.

Xu Qing didn't go take a look at her. He only checked the other party's recent condition in the reports and didn't bother with her.

As for when to release this girl, Xu Qing felt that there was no need to hurry. Moreover, the sect's attitude toward this matter was very interesting. Other than that day, they didn't ask anything.

It was as though they really gave him full control over this matter. This was the first time Xu Qing had felt this strange feeling in the Seven Blood Eyes.

"Is it because of the Sequence?" Xu Qing fell into deep thought. However, he knew his limits and naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to kill the black-clothed girl in the open.

He would wait till she was released and no one was paying attention.

Hence, he was also waiting for the sect's follow-up notice of this matter. Clearly, this matter couldn't be settled so easily. After all, the Seven Blood Eyes had the reason on their side and would demand an explanation for this to save their reputation.

Even in this wartime, this reputation was still extremely important.

Xu Qing felt that there was a high chance that this was the case. Not expressing their stance was actually tacit agreement.

During these seven days, as an Image Disciple, Xu Qing was dispatched twice to welcome visitors from other races. During this period of time as an Image Disciple, his reputation rose in another way.

Sometimes, some female members of the nonhuman races would even take the initiative to request to see Xu Qing. All the nonhuman female cultivators who had seen Xu Qing were stunned by his looks.

Although the races were different, as the former rulers of the Wanggu Continent, even though the human race had declined now, the understanding and aesthetic standards engraved in the bloodlines of the other nonhuman races had not dissipated yet.

Hence, the gifts Xu Qing received filled an entire storage bag.

This made Ding Xue and Gu Muqing very vigilant. At the same time, the impatience in Xu Qing's heart decreased by a lot. After all, the value of the gifts he got was quite high.

However, this good thing didn't continue for long. The heat caused by the nose piece of the Sea Corpse Race's Ancestral Corpse Statue gradually lessened and many of the visitors left.

There were only a few allies like the Starfish Race who hadn't left yet and were purchasing a lot of items in the main city. As for the young girl from the Starfish Race, she seemed to be very interested in Xu Qing and came to visit many times.

However, other than the gift she gave Xu Qing when they first met, she didn't give any other gifts in her subsequent visits. Instead, she would ask innocently, as though she was extremely curious about Xu Qing and wanted to understand him completely.

After Xu Qing dealt with it once, he directly rejected her subsequent visits.

Regarding the reassignment of Xu Qing and the captain, Xu Qing was promoted from the deputy director of the Homicide Department to the director because of his previous great contribution!

He controlled the entire Seventh Peak's Homicide Department.

On the captain's side, he should have been promoted to the deputy minister of the Homicide Ministry that was in charge of the entire Seven Blood Eyes. However, for some reason, he didn't go to the ministry, and instead, went to the Seventh Peak's Intelligence Department and became the director there.

There was a huge difference between the department and the ministry. There was a Homicide Department in each of the seven mountain peaks. Above them was the Seven Blood Eyes' Homicide Ministry.

"Only a fool would go to the ministry. How much better is the Intelligence Department? That's a place I've dreamed of. I'll know everything there. Regardless of whether it's planting spies outside, screening spies internally, or investigating information about nonhuman races, these are all my forte. It'll be more convenient for me to dig out some great opportunities!"

On his first day as the director of the Intelligence Department, the captain called out Zhang San and arrived at Xu Qing's place in high spirits. The three of them sat together and drank. When Zhang San saw that Xu Qing and the captain had both been promoted, he was happy but also a little bitter.

? "The next time you guys go out to go crazy, you can consider calling me. Captain, what do you think? With me around, at least if you lose half of your body, there will be someone to carry you," Zhang San said faintly.

The captain took a bite of the apple and patted Zhang San's shoulder with a smile.

"Little San, don't be jealous. Brother still loves you!"

After saying that, the captain looked at Xu Qing and discovered that Xu Qing was sitting there distractedly, as though he was thinking about something.

"Fool, what are you doing?"

Xu Qing glanced at the captain before looking at the equally curious Zhang San.

"Erniu, I'm thinking about how to improve the poison so that it can pose a threat to the Golden Core."

Xu Qing had been thinking about this question during this period of time. As for the direction, it was the black bugs he had obtained.

Although he had used up most of the black bugs in the battle with the black-clothed girl, after Xu Qing collected the remaining ones, he felt that it was too weak to use them like that.

In fact, he even faintly felt that he hadn't completely unleashed the potential of these little bugs. After all… this was created by a Golden Core expert. There was no reason for their might to decrease to such an extent that they couldn't even instantly suppress a three fires cultivator.
