Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 192 - 88 Ambition of the Eighth-Rank Official

Wanhua Building.

At the open-air loft on the top floor.

As Lin Qingyi spoke those words, Lin Jiaer's heart shuddered.

The next instant, Lin Qingyi continued, "Lin Jiaer, you took something from the building without permission. Kneel under the sun for three "shichen"."

"Yes... Aunt!" Lin Jiaer's delicate body trembled, and then she silently complied.

Then Lin Qingyi looked at Little Lv, "Little Lv, you broke the rules. Go outside and kneel for two "shichen"."

"Yes, Madam!" Little Lv knelt down respectfully.

Jiang Ning watched Little Lv's submissive posture and immediately felt some compassion.

The blazing sun was high in the sky.

For someone like Lin Jiaer, who practiced martial arts, kneeling for two "shichen" was bearable.

Her strong physique could withstand it.

But for an ordinary person like Little Lv, who had never practiced martial arts, kneeling under the fierce sun for two "shichen" might lead to heatstroke or even shock, endangering her life.

Jiang Ning pondered for a moment, then hesitated to speak.

This was Wanhua Building's affair, and as an outsider, he had no right to intervene.

Immediately, he shook his head quietly and put the silver note into his pouch.

"What, you want to intercede for them?" Lin Qingyi glanced at Jiang Ning and figured something out from his gaze and the expression he revealed.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning also openly spoke, "Sister Lin, I would like to ask for mercy for Miss Lv!"

"You sure know how to feel pity for the fairer sex!" Lin Qingyi glanced at Jiang Ning slightly. "Well then, since you've called me sister, I can't deny you this face!"

Immediately, Lin Qingyi said to Little Lv, who was walking towards the scorching sun, "Little Lv, considering Jiang Ning has pleaded for you, you may return after kneeling outside for half a "shichen"."

"Remember, you belong to the building. From now on, never give the building's items to outsiders."

"Yes, Madam!" Little Lv's expression was respectful as she knelt on the ground, "Thank you, Madam, for your mercy!"

Then she turned toward Jiang Ning and knelt, "Thank you, Young Master Jiang."

"There's no need for such formalities!" Jiang Ning shook his head.

Little Lv did not continue to speak, but got up and walked quietly towards the scorching sun.

At this moment,

Lin Jiaer also stopped in her tracks and looked at Jiang Ning with hopeful eyes.

Basking in the sun for three "shichen".

Although with her Ninth Grade strength, it wouldn't cause any harm,

she valued her beauty,

and her skin would darken after being exposed directly to the scorching sun for three "shichen".

Seeing this scene, she realized how important Jiang Ning was to her aunt.

Just speaking a word for that servant made her aunt relent so easily.

If Jiang Ning could speak for her, then her punishment would likely be much lightened, as it was for the servant.

However, at this time,

Jiang Ning said to Lin Qingyi, "Sister Lin is truly kind-hearted and beautiful!"

Lin Qingyi smiled slightly.

"Seeing as you have such sweet words for me, let me give you another piece of intelligence. About the Inspection Office."

As Lin Qingyi finished speaking,

she gestured towards her room with a beckoning hand.

A sheet of white paper flew towards her.

"Inner Breath is truly mysterious!" Witnessing this scene filled Jiang Ning with longing.

This marvelous power was incredibly tempting in his eyes.

Because it was so unscientific!

And precisely because it seemed unscientific to him, its allure was immense.

Even if he were now strong, fast, and had high defense, at the end of the day, he was still born of flesh and blood.

In Jiang Ning's eyes, Inner Breath represented true transcendence.

A visible, tangible transcendence. After seeing so many fantasy works in his previous life, how could he not wish to possess it?

Afterward,

The white paper Lin Qingyi had summoned from afar seemed to be held up by an invisible force, slowly falling into her hand.

"Take it! This is what your sister prepared for you in advance! It contains most of the intelligence about the Inspection Office. If you can achieve Eighth Grade before this, you might have a chance to become a team leader."

"According to the structure of the Inspection Office, any team leader is a Ninth Grade official of Great Xia, with an actual official title."

"This should hold some attraction for you!"

Hearing Lin Qingyi's words, Jiang Ning immediately took the white paper she handed over.

"Thank you, Sister Lin!" He expressed his gratitude.

It was at that moment,

"What are you doing standing there, Jiaer? Why aren't you kneeling outside?" Lin Qingyi said to Lin Jiaer by her side.

At that moment, Lin Jiaer, seeing Jiang Ning finally looking her way, was filled with indignation.

Being ignored for so long, anyone would feel upset.

Let alone her, who was usually so doted on and the center of attention like the moon surrounded by stars.

"Aunt, I'm going right now!" Lin Jiaer said.

As she spoke, Lin Jiaer lowered her head and walked towards the blazing sun.

"Alright, it's time for you to go back!" Lin Qingyi said to Jiang Ning, patting her mouth and yawning.

"That young man will take his leave then!" Jiang Ning bowed his hands.

Lin Qingyi waved her hand at Jiang Ning and turned, walking leisurely back to her room.

The thin, gauzy clothing outlined her figure perfectly.

However, at the moment, Jiang Ning did not notice this scene, because his gaze was fixed on the white paper in his hand, instantly captivated by one of the statements.

"Eighth Grade can participate in the assessment for team leader of the Inspection Office."

"If you pass the assessment, you can not only join the Inspection Office but also possess a Ninth Grade official title!"

"And more so, there is a chance to vie for the position of Deputy Commander!"

Jiang Ning murmured to himself as he looked at the white paper in his hand.

A sharp light flashed in his eyes.

In his heart, he instantly set his sights on the position of Deputy Commander.

Securing the Deputy Commander would mean acquiring an eighth-rank title.

Although it was a Secondary Eighth-Rank official position, not a Standard Eighth Grade.
