Daqing: Immortality begins with taking Fan Xian as your disciple!

In terms of rank, it was as high as Fan Jian's position as Vice Minister of Revenue.

This clearly shows how much Chen Pingping wanted to recruit him into the Supervisory Council.

Su Yu was familiar with the eight departments within the Censorate.

One of the main responsibilities was to monitor the interior of the imperial city and all officials.

Even Lin Ruofu, the prime minister, was no exception.

The second division is responsible for collecting and analyzing intelligence from various departments and developing strategies.

It was mainly used for planning by Emperor Qing and the military.

The three departments develop various unconventional weapons and drugs, including poisons.

Professor Fei was the head of the Third Division.

The four sides were responsible for monitoring officials outside Kyoto and the movements of other countries.

Responsible for intelligence gathering and investigation.

The five units have always been stationed outside Kyoto, namely the Black Riders specifically responsible for protecting Chen Pingping's safety.

There are approximately a thousand men, and they can launch cavalry raids if necessary.

Back then, during the Northern Expedition, Chen Pingping led these Black Riders on a long-distance raid to rescue Emperor Qing.

Then the Black Knights became famous throughout the world after one battle.

The Sixth Division is specifically responsible for handling assassinations.

The organizer is just a shadow.

The Seventh Division was responsible for things like torture and imprisoning enemies.

Sean is under their control.

The Eighth Division was responsible for managing book printing and reviewing articles.

It was also the only department that Su Yu had ever dealt with.

It is also the most suitable department for Su Yu among all the departments of the Supervisory Council.

This shows Chen Pingping's sincerity and dedication.

However, Su Yu clearly did not intend to accept it.

Su Yu smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone.

"Please thank Dean Chen for his kindness on my behalf."

"I appreciate your kind words."

And Su Yu's words were met with disapproval.

Both Shadow and Fei Jie were stunned...

Chapter 102 My Censorate reigns supreme in the capital, no one dares to provoke us! Chen Pingping?

The shadow's eyes were filled with surprise, astonishment, and shock...

No, he refused?

Did Su Yu really refuse?

The Overwatch Council, the most powerful intelligence agency in the Qing Kingdom.

Independent of the Six Ministries, who among the civil and military officials wouldn't be wary of him?

Chen Pingping directly arranged for him to be the organizer.

Why would a scholar refuse such a good job as the head of the Eighth Bureau?

Isn't this scholar taking the imperial examination also aiming to become an official in the court?

A ready-made official position, even a fourth-rank one, offered to him—wouldn't he want it?

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.

The shadow shook its head and let out a long sigh.

Oh, what a pity.

Since Su Yu isn't joining the Supervisory Council, I'll have one less opportunity to build a relationship with him.

He wanted to get closer to the five masters through the scholar.

This path is no longer viable.

Shadow caught a glimpse of Fei Jie out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly looked up.

After a moment of contemplation, he had an idea.

Could it be that this scholar is too upright?

Do you think it's dishonorable for someone to get into the Censorate through back channels like Fei Jie?

Think of this possibility.

The shadow looked at the scholar and couldn't help but admire him again.

This must be what Deng Ziyue often refers to as the integrity of a scholar.

However, what Shadow finds even more interesting is...

The scholar rejected Chen Pingping, haha.

Chen Pingping must not have encountered this situation in many years.

The olive branch was offered proactively, but alas, no one wanted it.

Gee tut.

Just imagine the look of dismay on Chen Pingping's face when I get back.

It's pretty cool.

A smile unconsciously appeared on the face behind the shadow mask.

Besides the various surprised expressions revealed in Shadow's eyes.

Fei Jie, standing to the side, didn't look much better either.

Surprise, confusion, disappointment, shock, and a complex expression.

Although he had originally invited Su Yu to join the Censorate.

Su Yu had already rejected him decisively.

But to my surprise, Su Yu also declined Dean Chen's invitation.

Although Su Yu is very capable and intelligent.

However, he was still under twenty years old.

Dean Chen directly assigned him to the position of head of the Eighth Division.

It can be said that they value him highly and are very sincere.

And this position just happens to be a good fit for him.

If he waited for the scientific expedition results, he might not find anything so suitable for him.

Moreover, the court is full of incompetent officials, vermin that are also parasites on the nation.

Officials protect each other; it's incredibly corrupt.

The best positions might end up being given to someone else. 7

When it was Su Yu's turn, they were all relegated to minor, peripheral positions.

That would be such a waste. 7

Fei Jie didn't want to miss this great opportunity to work alongside Su Yu.

He didn't want Su Yu to miss this promising opportunity that suited him perfectly.

Undeterred, he tried to persuade her.

"Su Yu, let me analyze this for you."

"Our Censorate, independent of the Six Ministries, can supervise all officials."9

"Even the princes are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Censorate."

"He holds an extraordinary position in Kyoto, and no one dares to offend him."

"It's much more prestigious than being a lowly civil servant like you."

After thinking for a moment, he added more.

“In our Oversight Council, there are assassins like me who use poison, like Shadow.”

"They're everywhere."

“You’re the youngest, so we’ll all protect you once you come in.”

"From now on, you can do whatever you want in Kyoto."

"If you don't like someone, just throw them into the third or seventh place."

After saying this, Fei Jie tucked his hands into his sleeves, looking arrogant.

At the same time, he was very confident, so Su Yu had no reason to refuse.

After all, he had used all his skills to say these things.

When I was learning about poisons from my master, I never had to think this hard.

Shadow was startled when he heard what Fei Jie said.

Why is Fei Jie suddenly so talkative?

Well said.

He slapped his thigh and realized, "Oh yeah, why didn't I think of that?"

While expressing his admiration, Shadow seized the opportunity to add a comment.
