Let's start by analyzing the sun

To be honest.

Qian Qingqing's cultivation progress has far exceeded Cheng Han's expectations.

The Valkyrie Seal in the little girl's Sea of ​​Spirit is a peculiar mark, it does not directly provide power, but is more like a cultivation guide.

Only through persistent and focused practice, combined with the Valkyrie Seal, can one gradually stimulate one's own potential and eventually master powerful strength.

Originally, Cheng Han estimated that this girl would need about half a year to condense the Source Sense Seal.

But he really didn't expect that only three months had passed, and she had already reached the point of being just around the corner, and would break through within a week at the earliest.

Undoubtedly.

Behind this is unimaginable effort.

Cheng Han smacked his lips and muttered to himself: "I underestimated you! You look delicate and timid on the surface, but who knew you'd be so resilient."

He began to ponder another question: "Qingqing will condense the Source Sense Seal in a few days, what kind of gift should I give her?"

Just then.

"Tap! Tap!"

The sound of heels hitting the floor came from outside the door.

Cheng Han knew at once that it was the sound of his female secretary, Xie You, walking.

Sure enough.

"Knock! Knock!"

The door was immediately pushed open.

The enchanting woman walked in with elegant steps, holding a delicate tray in both hands, with sweet tea and snacks on it.

Objectively speaking.

Compared to another female secretary, Ying Beibei, this woman's walking posture is more pleasing to the eye.

Her heart-stoppingly perfect figure, combined with her cat-like steps, particularly highlighted the amazing curve "from her slender waist to her hips."

Xie You's voice was slightly hoarse, sounding indescribably seductive: "Your Excellency, among the various government offices in Anhua City, the most outrageous is the Finance Department."

Cheng Han watched the monster slaughtering prisoners out of the corner of his eye, and replied casually: "How so?"

"Bang!"

The tray was placed on the desk.

Xie You first placed the sweet tea in front of her superior, and then slowly explained: "Within the Hall of Political Affairs, the Finance Department has another name called the 'Mistress Department'.

"The middle-level officials in the Finance Department generally have several mistresses outside, and the high-level officials keep an average of seven women each.

"The one who played the most wildly was the former Director, Wei Shenghao. Let's just say, even if he changed a woman every night, he wouldn't repeat one for a month."

Cheng Han frowned.

The enchanting woman's tone carried a hint of disgust: "I also heard that this scum named Wei especially likes to… uh, exchange with his subordinates."

Xie You immediately followed up with a flattery: "This time, four officials from the Finance Department were arrested, you did a very satisfying thing!"

Cheng Han couldn't help but shake his head: "Too few were caught."

The internal corruption of the Finance Department has become so bad that killing them all might wrong some people, but killing two out of every three would definitely leave many unpunished.

He glanced at the halo again.

In the time it took to say a few words, the tool man… no, it should be the tool monster, the 'Faceless Ghoul', had slaughtered dozens of prisoners with extremely high efficiency.

The tentacles in this thing's mouth look soft like cotton, but are actually tougher than steel wire, and can extend to a length of three or four meters, capable of simultaneously sucking the internal organs of multiple targets.

A team of black-armored soldiers serving as guards finally noticed the commotion in Plum Blossom House and launched the first wave of short spears.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Sharp whistling sounds rang out.

The battle had begun!

"Bang!"

A muffled sound was heard.

A black shadow crashed through the roof and rushed out of the small building.

It was the Faceless Ghoul.

The position this monster chose to break through was very clever, precisely the blind spot of the soldiers' attack.

It immediately used its limbs to push off the ground, its body leaping high, drawing an arc in the air, and landing in the snow forest more than ten meters away.

At that instant.

Several branches suddenly moved, wrapping around the Faceless Ghoul's two hind legs like lightning.

The monster was taken aback and immediately spat out its tentacles, easily cutting off the branches.

However.

This moment of delay ruined its chance of escape.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Another wave of short spears shot over, piercing its body.

"Bang! Bang!"

Accompanied by a series of internal explosion sounds, the Faceless Ghoul exploded into a sky full of flesh and blood.

The team of soldiers jogged over and bowed to the branches in unison.

Cheng Han contentedly curled the corners of his mouth.

Done!

Those branches were naturally his doing from a distance. Now that the Spirit Control Profound Seal has been upgraded to the second level, this is just a trivial trick for him.

Five minutes later.

The news of the sudden change in Fang Yuan was quickly transmitted to the Hall of Political Affairs.

Deputy Executive Officer Shen Wenxian reported the news with a look of trepidation: "Your Excellency, over at Fang Yuan…"

It could be seen that this guy knew the ins and outs of it.

Cheng Han listened patiently and nodded: "I understand, you may leave."

Shen Wenxian seemed afraid of getting into trouble and left the office as quickly as possible.

Xie You closed the door, turned her head to look at her superior, and put on an appearance of wanting to say something but hesitating.

Cheng Han glanced at the female secretary: "Speak your mind!"

The enchanting woman wore a worried expression: "I have heard some rumors that Wei Shenghao has managed to request a Mystic to come forward…"

Cheng Han interrupted directly: "You think the strangeness that appeared in Dong Yuan was my doing in secret, and you're worried that the Mystic will come looking for trouble with me?"

Xie You became even more worried: "It's not that I think so, but that Mystic is very likely to think so."

Cheng Han said to himself: "Wei Shenghao's backing is a mid-level Mystic named 'Zong Chang', who has been in the Tai'an Mystic Pavilion for over a hundred years and has a very deep network of relationships."

The enchanting woman's pretty face turned a little pale when she heard that the other party's background was so great.

Cheng Han laughed: "Put yourself in his shoes, what would a super-veteran Mystic like Zong Chang do without evidence?"

Xie You pondered for a moment and quickly replied: "Master Zong Chang's lifespan should be running out, and he will probably consider his affairs after his death more.

"And you are someone the Mystic Pavilion values very much, he certainly won't act rashly, and will probably turn a blind eye to this matter."

Cheng Han revealed a look of appreciation: "The battlefield of Mystics is not only the Small Spirit Realm, but also outside the Divine Banyan, so they face more dangers, and a considerable number of Mystics cannot die peacefully.

"If I were Zong Chang, I would just sit and watch the situation, wait for a suitable opportunity, and then make a slight move.

"This time, Zong Chang did not personally come forward to exert pressure, but instead used the Town Guardian Mystic to convey the message, which has already proven his caution."

Cheng Han's tone was a bit playful: "If I'm not mistaken, Zong Chang might even try to send a message over, ostensibly to reconcile with me."

Xie You looked convinced: "What you said is very reasonable."

Based on her understanding of human nature, this was indeed the old fox's style of doing things.

The enchanting woman was still a little worried: "In that case, the danger you face is not overt suppression, but dark arrows from behind."

Cheng Han didn't care at all: "He has no chance."

In the face of absolute strength, are dark arrows useful?

If Zong Chang dares to act, he will chop off the other party's claws!

In the afternoon.

The Hall of Political Affairs became lively.

Because a rather sensational event happened here.

The Great Executive Officer's secretary personally led several servants, carrying a full-length mirror into the first-floor lobby and placing it in the most conspicuous position.

This beautiful secretary told many employees that the mirror was a wondrous object personally crafted by the Great Executive Officer, and that as long as they touched the mirror surface for more than five seconds, interesting things would appear inside.

Soon.

A rather attractive female employee boldly took the plunge.

Five seconds later.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, water-like ripples appeared on the mirror surface.

A large group of onlookers were instantly stunned.

After a short while.

The ripples subsided, and an unsightly scene suddenly appeared in the mirror.

The onlookers instantly burst into an uproar.

"My god, they're playing so wild!"

"Miss Ao is actually doing this kind of thing in the office!"

A man and a woman, in their most primal and unrestrained state, were having intercourse in an office.

The female protagonist was none other than the female employee herself.

The other male protagonist was a balding fat man.

The onlookers directly revealed the man's identity.

"Isn't that Old Wang?"

"Wang Danian, a senior inspector from the Inspectorate!"

Then.

The female protagonist, known as "Miss Ao," passed out stiffly.

Many experienced people could tell at a glance that she was faking it, but out of pity for "not making things difficult for others," no one spoke out to expose her.

Not long after.

A rumor quickly spread.

When the female secretary was chatting with several maids, she deliberately revealed the name of this mirror—the Peeking Secret Mirror.

At once, the number of people secretly calling her "Viperous Miss" increased greatly.

After all, not explicitly stating the mirror's function on the spot, and only revealing it after someone suffered social death, this kind of behavior was simply immoral to the extreme.

In the top-floor office.

Cheng Han asked with a smile: "Don't you care about the nickname Viperous Miss?"

Xie You revealed a slightly bewitching smile: "Your Excellency, only this way can the 'Peeking Secret Mirror' be intimidating enough, thereby highlighting your strength."

She paused for a moment, with a matter-of-course tone: "Compared to that, my personal reputation is nothing at all, because others' respect for me actually all comes from your authority."

Cheng Han nodded lightly, without speaking.

The enchanting woman curiously asked a question: "What is your purpose in creating the Peeking Secret Mirror?"

Cheng Han, seeing that she was loyal enough, readily revealed the answer: "There is a voice within the Mystic Pavilion that believes I am too enthusiastic about political affairs and may be delaying my cultivation."

According to the deduced results, this voice was precisely from the Mystic Zong Chang.

Xie You immediately understood: "So you are using the Peeking Secret Mirror to tell certain people that your achievements in cultivation are in no way inferior to those of a Mystic?"

Cheng Han smiled: "In addition to that, I also plan to use this mirror to clear out another batch of trash from the Hall of Political Affairs."

The greatest function of the Peeking Secret Mirror is to publicly display secrets.

For a public official, this kind of lethality is simply comparable to a Mystic's profound technique.

Xie You understood instantly: "The Mistress Department?"

Cheng Han nodded and ordered: "Notify the Finance Department, and have all officials of that department come to the Hall of Political Affairs immediately for a meeting!"

The enchanting woman excitedly replied: "Yes!"
