The Deputy Director of the Fourth Palace Assessment Department had heard of Jing Yan, but had never met Jing Yan. If Chunjin hadn't yelled deliberately, he really wouldn't have known that the young-looking warrior in front of him was Jing Yan, who had been in the limelight recently.
"Master Vice Minister, I am Jing Yan who has just joined Luo Jiushen Palace." Jing Yan responded with a bow.
"I've heard about you, and many people say that you are the most outstanding martial arts genius that has appeared in the Liuli God Realm in the past ten thousand years." The deputy minister's face softened a little, and he said to Jing Yan.
People who have no conflicts with Jing Yan generally have a milder attitude towards such a martial arts genius.
At this time, Chang Hao's expression was a bit unsightly. It was indeed selfish for him to veto Jing Yan's application. From a fair point of view, Jing Yan could indeed apply to participate in the assessment for promotion to the fourth house.
Chang Hao didn't expect that Jing Yan would have the guts to make trouble on the day of the assessment. As for the deputy director of the Fourth Palace's assessment department, it seems that he still has a certain affection for Jing Yan. This made Chang Hao a little uneasy. However, he wasn't too worried, he just felt that he didn't look good.
"Your Excellency, the Vice Minister is overrated." Jing Yan said modestly.
The deputy minister shook his head, "Jing Yan, your potential is indeed great. However, even if you are a peerless genius, since you have joined the Luo Jiushen Palace, you must abide by the rules here. You are a warrior from the third palace, but you come to the assessment department to question. This is a violation of the rules. If everyone is messing around like you, then the assessment department is not messing around?"
The deputy minister's tone became serious again.
"Master Vice Minister, it's not that I want to make trouble. It's just that I think it's unfair. I'm a member of the Aoki Division of the Third Palace, Master Junjin of the Aoki Division, and he helped me apply for a promotion assessment to the assessment department before. However, the assessment department rejected my application. If I don't meet the application requirements, then naturally I have nothing to say. But after thinking about it, I couldn't find anything that I didn't meet. That's why I came to ask Elder Chang Hao of the assessment department. I heard that the elder is in charge of the promotion assessment work." Jing Yan Said neither humble nor overbearing.
"Well, Elder Chang Hao, is what Jing Yan said true?" The deputy minister looked at Chang Hao.
Chang Hao quickly smiled at the vice minister, rolled his eyes and said, "Jing Yan did apply for a promotion assessment, but my subordinates feel that Jing Yan has just been promoted to the third house, even if he has stepped into the realm of the Seven Star False God, this realm is definitely not stable. Therefore, the subordinates decided to reject his application and let him practice in the third house for a period of time."
Although Chang Hao's excuse was somewhat subjective, it made sense. Not every martial artist who applied to participate in the promotion assessment could pass the application smoothly.
"What Elder Chang Hao said is not unreasonable." The deputy minister nodded thoughtfully.
"Jing Yan, your application has been rejected this time, you can continue to apply next time." The deputy minister looked at Jing Yan.
Jing Yan frowned, feeling a little unwilling. However, if he and the vice-minister of the assessment department of the fourth palace are torn apart, then the loss outweighs the gain.
"The vice-minister is right." The head of the assessment department of the third palace said, "Jing Yan, if you feel that you are strong enough, then wait until the promotion assessment is over and ask Director Chunjin to apply again. As for the one-hundred-year wait time mentioned earlier, there is no need for that."
While speaking, the head of the examination department of the third palace also looked at Chang Hao. He could roughly guess why Chang Hao removed Jing Yan's name from the application list. However, there is no need to pursue this matter. After all, Chang Hao is the elder of the third palace's assessment department and is in charge of the promotion assessment. To hold Chang Hao accountable for such a trivial matter would embarrass the Third Palace Assessment Department.
The two great figures have said so, what else can Jing Yan say
If he persisted, he might not be able to change the result. He would only offend the head of the assessment department of the third palace and the deputy director of the assessment department of the fourth palace.
After thinking about it for a while, Jing Yan agreed.
"Director Chunjin, discipline your people well. How is it proper to come to the assessment department to cause trouble? Although the Minister does not mean to blame, but this kind of thing must not happen again next time." Chang Hao said to Chunjin with a gloomy face.
In terms of status, in fact, Chunjin, the chief of the department, is similar to Chang Hao, the chief of the examination department.
Chang Hao obviously felt that this incident made him a little embarrassed. So these words are just to get back the scene and make myself not so ugly. After all, with so many people present in this hall, if they didn't express anything, it might affect their prestige.
"Elder Chang Hao's words, I will treat them with caution." Chun Jin gritted his teeth and said.
"Also! Jing Yan, although your talent in martial arts is good, you can't be too arrogant. Well, you should be more prudent in doing things. Forget it this time, and the Minister and I will not pursue it with you. But next time you commit a crime, it won't be so easy."
"I'm also doing it for your own good. After all, you've only been promoted to the third house for two years. How stable is this realm? Is it a bad thing? Even if you are allowed to participate in the promotion assessment now, can you guarantee success?" Chang Hao couldn't help but feel a little proud when he saw Chunjin subdued.
Originally, Jing Yan had already planned to give in, but this Chang Hao was really shameless.
These words immediately made Jing Yan's suppressed anger rise again.
Jing Yan stared at Chang Hao, and smiled lightly, "Elder Chang Hao, how do you know that my strength is not enough to pass the examination for promotion to the Fourth Palace?"
"Oh? You still dare to talk back?" Chang Hao's eyes turned cold again.
"Not talking back, just curious. I don't seem to be familiar with you, how do you know that I can't pass the promotion assessment?" Jing Yan looked at Chang Hao, without any intention of backing down.
"It's outrageous, it's outrageous. Crazy, too crazy. Two adults, this Jing Yan is really lawless. I think he should be imprisoned for a hundred years." Chang Hao said angrily.
"Crazy?"
"I really don't know, why am I so crazy? Elder Chang Hao, since you think I can't pass the promotion assessment, why don't you let me participate in this assessment?" Jing Yan said immediately.
"Hmph, the assessment list has been confirmed. Who do you think you are, and you can change it if you want?" Chang Hao said with his eyes wide open.
"Okay, don't make trouble anymore. It is true that the assessment list cannot be changed at will, so let's leave it as it is." The deputy director of the assessment department of the Fourth Palace said with a wave of his hand.
"Jing Yan, go back." The head of the assessment department of the third palace also said to Jing Yan with a calm face.
At this time, in the hall, there were quite a few people gloating at others' misfortune. Especially the Director of the Shinyan Department and the others all had joy in their eyes. These people wished that Jing Yan would offend more people.
