147: Chapter 147 Ugly Talent!

Inside the airtight room... Wu Mei lowered her eyes, looking at the young man currently in a deep slumber before her!

Shen Yi sat on the edge of the bed, slightly furrowing his brows.

Although this young man was not good-looking... he was nowhere near reaching the level of being hideously ugly!

Yet, there was something about this person's aura that made people inexplicably disgusted.

This was indeed strange.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the official from the Tiju Department shunned and disliked him?

Wu Mei spoke slowly, letting out a long sigh.

"Lord... this is Zhang Qi."

When mentioning the name Zhang Qi, there was a strange nuance in Wu Mei's tone!

In her view, among the entire Zhang Family, the only one who could be called the master of restoration was perhaps this person before her.

The rest were all mediocre people.

Although they could not be called incompetent, and could barely support the clan.

But wanting to develop, wanting to grow stronger... there was absolutely no possibility!

This person, Zhang Qi, had extremely unique insights and abilities regarding current political affairs.

The decrees of the Immortal Dynasty affected the whole from a single hair.

They were no different from ordinary mortal dynasties.

The amount of Luck in every territory of the Immortal Dynasty was directly related to the political achievements of the Immortal Dynasty's officials.

And these political achievements were the cornerstone for the officials of the Immortal Dynasty to climb higher.

No one dared to underestimate them.

However, things like current political affairs were determined by big shots.

Small people like them had no way of knowing.

To get a share of the spoils, they could only rely on guessing!

Zhang Qi was proficient in this!

In fact... after Zhang Qi's official career was suppressed by the official from the Tiju Department.

The Zhang Family had already prepared a backup path for him.

Although it was far inferior to obtaining an official position through examinations, it was enough to protect the Family... and strengthen the noble clan.

It was not a problem...

That was to become a staff member by Magistrate Wei's side, which was the so-called county registrar.

Relying on promotion to become an official!

Zhang Qi did very well...

He was quite valued by Magistrate Wei.

Being valued meant closeness.

Closeness meant that when something happened to Magistrate Wei, he would find it hard to protect himself.

The reason why the Liu Family and the Ye Family were so vicious... on one hand, it was for the Magistrate's Golden Seal.

On the other hand, it was to kill this Zhang Qi!

A Genius... sometimes it is also a sin!

Yan Shu slowly stepped forward, examined him for a few moments, and then said in a deep voice.

"It looks like he has been afflicted with hysteria; this is a type of evil art."

"Smelling his aura... it seems to be exactly the same as that Daoist Wild Dog's demonic bone!"

"This person is in a coma, yet his body is protected by strands of Official Aura."

"Is this... the automatic protection of the Magistrate's official seal?"

Yan Shu furrowed his brows.

"Official Aura cannot be used privately... unless it is a very rare situation."

Seeing this, Shen Yi slightly lowered his eyes and said indifferently.

"Before Magistrate Wei died... he handed over full authority over the military affairs of Panshi County to Zhang Qi."

"Moreover... this order received the approval of the imperial court!"

Shen Yi suddenly felt... that the matters in Panshi County were not as simple as he had imagined!

This seemingly coincidental ambush... was more like the tip of the iceberg!

He slowly took out the demonic bone... and waved it above Zhang Qi's head!

A demonic bone of the Dao Foundation Realm could also be called a wonder of heaven and earth.

That Daoist Wild Dog was able to forge his Dao Foundation through such a wonder of heaven and earth.

It was enough to prove its extraordinary nature!

When a wonder of heaven and earth is first born, it will unconsciously suck in Spiritual Qi... Evil Qi... Blood Qi... and even Demonic Qi that matches its affinity!

Moreover, the Demonic Qi that the Magistrate's Golden Seal had been struggling to suppress.

Was of the same origin as the demonic bone.

So it was quickly sucked out!

The gloomy black color on Zhang Qi's face gradually faded a little.

The slightly ferocious expression on his face also disappeared... replaced by.

A look of calm and composure.

However... his aura had not changed in the slightest.

It was still just as ugly and disgusting!

The Magistrate's official seal slowly floated in the air... and suddenly shone brightly.

At this moment, the Official Aura in Shen Yi's heart also involuntarily detached from his Physical Body!

The Magistrate's Golden Seal slowly floated down and landed straight into his hand!

"This is..."

Shen Yi shook his head and explained.

"The Official Aura has been exhausted; without a master, it is difficult to connect to the Immortal Dynasty and difficult to recover."

"That is why it seeks officials of the Immortal Dynasty to replenish the Official Aura and maintain the authority of this Golden Seal!"

"Thinking about it... the Liu Family and the Ye Family wanted to rely on this characteristic."

"To control the entire Panshi County..."

Wu Mei's face was gloomy, and she cursed angrily.

"Truly vicious!"

Just then, a few faint groans were heard.

That incredibly ugly figure slowly woke up.

He slowly opened his eyes; they were narrow and long, and his gaze was listless.

He had the appearance of someone with declining Qi and premature aging.

Seeing this, Wang Meng couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Lord... you didn't see wrong, did you?"

"Is this the talent you wanted to find?"

"This woman is one thing, she has some looks... and isn't useless!"

"But this ugly freak... he can't lift anything with his shoulders or carry anything with his hands, what is the use of him?"

Shen Yi's mouth twitched, and his subordinates also fell silent.

They felt... that Wang Meng was right!

At this moment... they saw a flash of brilliance pass through Zhang Qi's ugly eyes!

Compared to his appearance... his voice seemed much more pure and calm.

Facing everyone, he did not show the slightest bit of panic... he spoke slowly and asked calmly.

"Zhang Qi... greets you."

"Town Chief of Qinghe Town, holder of the Lingxu Command, Deputy Lieutenant of Qinghe."

"Scholar Shen... Lord Shen."

Shen Yi raised an eyebrow, immediately becoming interested, and said with a smile.

"How did you know who I am?"

Zhang Qi coughed and gave a bitter smile.

"I request that you have someone cover my face, so as not to spoil your senses, Lord."

"Zhang Qi has a major matter to discuss with Lord Shen."

Seeing this, Wu Mei hurriedly ordered a servant to come forward and cover Zhang Qi's face.

But unexpectedly... Shen Yi just slightly pressed down the mask.

He said calmly.

"Treating people, viewing them by their face... leads to an autonomous impression that one gets trapped in."

"First impressions are always intuitive and will affect the outcome of the first meeting."

"It is inevitably unfair."

"I am not the kind of person who judges people by their appearance..."

"For a first meeting, it is better to be open and honest."

"Just speak..."

A truly handsome man will not care whether others are ugly.

Anyway, they couldn't possibly be more handsome than himself.

Ugliness only affects the senses... but missing out on a Genius because of the senses.

That would not be worth it!

Zhang Qi was stunned for a moment when he saw this.

After a long while, he said with a complex look in his eyes.

"As expected of Lord Shen... worthy of the name Scholar."

"If not for someone using threats and inducements, I fear Lord Shen would have already entered the capital to take the imperial examination."

"There is no need to talk about things that did not happen."

Zhang Qi nodded and slowly pointed to the Magistrate's Golden Seal.

"Here... is the evidence of the Hu Family, the Ye Family, and the Liu Family colluding with Daoist Wild Dog... to secretly harm Magistrate Wei!"

"Likewise... there is also evidence of a Division Commander of the Pingyang Prefecture Military Affairs Department colluding with an evil cult... plotting a blood sacrifice!"
