Chapter 254: The Mirror of Secrets and Miss Snake Scorpion

To be honest.

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

The Valkyrie Seal in the spiritual sea of the little girl is a unique mark. It does not directly provide power, but more like a guide for cultivation.

Only through persistent and focused practice, combined with the Valkyrie Seal, can one gradually unleash their own potential and ultimately master powerful strength.

Originally, according to Cheng Han's estimation, this girl would need about half a year to condense the Source Sensation Seal.

But he never expected that, in just three months, she had already reached the threshold and would break through within a week.

Undoubtedly.

This is an unimaginable effort behind it.

Cheng Han smacked his lips and muttered to himself, "I underestimated you! She looks delicate and timid on the surface, but who would have thought she had such resilience."

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

Just then.

"Tap! Tap!"

The sound of heels tapping on the floor came from outside the door.

Cheng Han knew immediately that it was the footsteps of his female secretary, Xie You.

Sure enough.

"Thud! Thud!"

The door was immediately pushed open.

Miss Xie walked in with an exquisite tray in her hands, on which were placed sweet tea and snacks, walking with elegant steps.

Honestly speaking.

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

Her perfect figure, coupled with a cat-like stride, particularly highlights the astonishing curve "from waist to hips."

Xie You's voice was slightly hoarse, with an indescribable allure, "Sir, among the major government offices in Anhua City, the most outrageous one is the Treasury."

Cheng Han glanced at the monster slaughtering prisoners out of the corner of his eye and casually replied, "Why do you say that?"

"Bang!"

The tray was placed on the desk.

Xie You first placed the sweet tea in front of her boss, and then began to speak slowly, "Inside the Council of Ministers, the Treasury has a nickname called 'Lover's Office.'

"Middle-level officials in the Treasury generally have several concubines, and high-level officials each keep an average of seven women.

"The one who spends the most is the former head of the Treasury, Wei Shenghao. Let's put it this way, even if he changes women every night, he won't repeat the same one in a month."

Cheng Han frowned.

Miss Xie's tone carried a hint of disgust, "I also heard that this scum named Wei particularly likes to... um, exchange with subordinates."

Xie You immediately flattered, "This time, four officials from the Treasury were arrested. You have done a great and satisfying thing!"

Cheng Han couldn't help shaking his head, "Not enough arrests."

The internal corruption of the Treasury is so rotten that while it may involve some innocent people, there are definitely many fish that have escaped the net by killing two out of three.

He glanced at the halo again.

In the time it took to say a few words, the tool... no, the tool monster "Faceless Weirdo" had efficiently slaughtered dozens of prisoners.

A team of Black Armor soldiers, who were guards, finally noticed the commotion in the Plum Blossom Tower and launched the first wave of spears.

"Woo! Woo!"

Sharp whistling sounds rang out.

The battle had begun!

"Bang!"

Only a muffled sound was heard.

A black figure broke through the roof and rushed out from the small building.

It was the Faceless Weirdo.

The monster chose a very clever escape route, precisely the blind spot of the soldiers' attack.

It immediately exerted force with its limbs, leaping high in the air, drawing an arc, and landing in the snow forest more than ten meters away.

In that instant.

Several branches suddenly moved and swiftly entangled the Faceless Weirdo's hind legs.

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

However.

This momentary delay doomed its chance of escape.

"Woo! Woo!"

Another wave of spears shot towards it, piercing through its body.

"Bang! Bang!"

Accompanied by a series of internal explosions, the Faceless Weirdo exploded into a sky full of flesh and blood.

The team of soldiers jogged over and saluted the branches together.

Cheng Han smiled satisfactorily.

Done!

Those branches were naturally his handy work from a distance. Now that his Spirit Control Seal had reached the second rank, it was a trivial trick for him.

Five minutes later.

The news of the incident at Fangyuan quickly spread to the Council of Ministers.

Deputy Minister Shen Wenxian reported with a trembling voice, "Sir, something happened at Fangyuan..."

It was clear that this guy knew all the ins and outs.

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

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

Xie You closed the door and turned to look at her boss, with a hesitant expression.

Cheng Han glanced at his female secretary and said, "Just say it!"

Miss You had a worried look on her face and said, "I've heard some rumors. It is said that Wei Shenghao managed to request the help of a mysterious master..."

Cheng Han interrupted directly, "Do you think that the strange occurrences in Dongyuan are my doing, and you're worried that the mysterious master will cause trouble for me?"

Xie You became even more worried and said, "It's not just my opinion, but it's highly likely that the mysterious master will think so too."

Cheng Han continued, "Wei Shenghao has the support of a mid-level mysterious master named 'Zong Chang.' He has been in the Tai'an Xuan Pavilion for over a hundred years and has a very deep network of connections."

Upon hearing the great background of the other party, Miss You's pretty face turned pale.

Cheng Han smiled and said, "Let's think from another perspective. How would a super experienced mysterious master like Zong Chang act without evidence?"

After thinking for a moment, Xie You quickly answered, "Lord Zong Chang's remaining lifespan is probably not much, so he would most likely consider his future. And since you are highly valued by the Xuan Pavilion, he definitely wouldn't act rashly. I estimate that he would turn a blind eye to this matter."

Cheng Han showed appreciation and said, "The battlefield for mysterious masters is not just the small spiritual realm, but also extends beyond the Shenrong. Therefore, they face more dangers, and a considerable number of mysterious masters have difficulty ending well."

"If I were Zong Chang, I would just sit back and watch the situation, waiting for the right moment to make a slight move."

"This time, Zong Chang didn't personally apply pressure, but instead conveyed the message through a guarding mysterious master, which already proves his caution."

Cheng Han's tone had a hint of playfulness, "If my guess is correct, Zong Chang might even try to send a message to reconcile with me."

Xie You looked convinced and said, "You make a lot of sense."

Based on her understanding of human nature, this was indeed the style of an old fox.

Miss You became a little worried again, "In that case, the danger you face is not from overt suppression, but from hidden arrows from behind."

Cheng Han didn't care at all and said, "He won't have a chance."

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

If Zong Chang dared to make a move, he would chop off the other party's claws!

In the afternoon.

The council chamber became lively.

Because something quite sensational happened here.

The secretary Miss, personally led a few servants, carrying a full-length mirror into the first-floor hall and placed it in the most prominent position.

This beautiful secretary Miss, in front of many staff members, claimed that the mirror was a unique item made by the Grand Chancellor himself. By touching the mirror for more than five seconds, interesting things would appear in the reflection.

Soon enough.

A rather attractive female staff member, boldly took the first step and tried it out.

Five seconds later.

In front of everyone's eyes, ripples like water appeared on the mirror's surface.

A large group of onlookers were instantly stunned.

After a moment.

The ripples subsided, and a disturbing scene suddenly appeared in the mirror.

The onlookers were instantly in an uproar.

"Oh my god, they're playing so recklessly!"

"Miss Ao is actually doing this in the office!"

A man and a woman were seen engaging in primal behavior in an office.

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

The other male protagonist was a balding fat man.

The spectators immediately called out the man's identity.

"Isn't that Old Wang?"

"Wang Danian, the senior inspector of the Inspectorate Department!"

Then.

The female protagonist, known as "Miss Ao," fainted stiffly.

Many experienced people could tell at a glance that she was pretending, but out of pity for the hardships of life, no one spoke up to expose her.

Shortly after.

A small piece of news quickly spread.

When the female secretary and several maids were chatting, they deliberately leaked the name of this mirror - the Mirror of Secrets.

With this, the number of people secretly calling her "Miss Snake and Scorpion" increased significantly.

After all, it was extremely unethical to not reveal the function of the mirror on the spot and only disclose it after someone's death.

In the top-level office.

Cheng Han smiled and asked, "Don't you mind being called Miss Snake and Scorpion?"

Xie You revealed a slightly seductive smile, "Sir, only in this way can the 'Mirror of Secrets' be sufficiently intimidating and showcase your power."

She paused for a moment and spoke with an air of entitlement, "Compared to that, my personal reputation means nothing at all, because everyone's awe of me actually comes from your authority."

Cheng Han nodded lightly without saying a word.

Miss You, curious, asked a question, "Do you have a purpose in creating the Mirror of Secrets?"

Cheng Han, seeing her loyalty, readily gave an answer, "There is a voice within the Xuan Pavilion that believes I am too focused on political affairs, which may hinder my cultivation."

Based on deductive reasoning, this voice came from Xuan Shi Zongchang.

Xie You immediately understood, "So, through the Mirror of Secrets, you are telling certain people that your achievements in cultivation are no less than Xuan Shi's?"

Cheng Han smiled, "In addition to that, I also plan to use this mirror to clean up the rubbish in the Council of Ministers."

The greatest function of the Mirror of Secrets is to openly display secrets.

For a public official, this level of destructive power is comparable to the profound arts of the Xuan Shi.

Xie You quickly understood, "The Office of Lovers, right?"

Cheng Han nodded and ordered, "Notify the Ministry of Finance and have all their officials come to the Council of Ministers for a meeting immediately!"

Miss You excitedly replied, "Yes!"
