The main city of the Seven Blood Eyes was finally completed.
Following the waves after waves of teleportation, although the population of the entire city wasn't as high as in the Nanhuang Continent, there were a large number of disciples from the other 137 sects of the Alliance. They were naturally very interested in the new city.
Regardless of whether they were here to do business, shop, or make friends, this new main city was bustling and lively.
There were also adjustments to the members of the various departments. Huang Yan was still in the Pilotage Department.
His beloved Second Senior Sister held the deputy post of the Patrol Department. This was also in line with Second Senior Sister's personality. With her around, the criminals would be intimidated to a certain extent.
There were also some departments that were synchronized with the other sects of the Alliance.
For example, the Commerce Department.
Other than the strength of the higher-ups and Taboo magic treasures, there was another very important factor that determined the strength of a faction. That was wealth.
This principle was common no matter where it was.
The appearance of the Commerce Department was only logical. It was in charge of the entire Seven Blood Eyes' internal and foreign businesses. Old Master Seventh had personally appointed his third disciple as the deputy head of this department.
As for Xu Qing and the captain, Old Master Seventh knew that the two of them had a good relationship, so he sent them together to the most important department after the Seven Blood Eyes merged into the Alliance.
Special Security Department.
This name was a little different from the customs of the Nanhuang Continent. It was filled with the flavor of the Alliance. Its full name was Special Security and Protection Administrative Office.
This Special Security Department wasn't only in the Seven Blood Eyes. The other seven sects also had it. It was a single entity and needed to be allocated by the headquarters. There were a lot of things that they were responsible for, be it internally or externally. The Department Director was Lord Sixth.
One of the deputy directors was the captain, and the other was Xu Qing.
Lord Sixth usually didn't care about the department affairs. His authority was delegated and completely handed over to Xu Qing and the captain.
The location of the department was also built near the eight bridges. Overall, it looked like a triangle with a hundred or so buildings inside. Each building was independent with a small courtyard but was also integrated with the department's structure.
There were also several small departments. More than 3,000 disciples from the various peaks of the Seven Blood Eyes were arranged to take up positions here. Half of them were former members of the Homicide Department, and the little mute was among them.
On the way here after receiving the appointment, Xu Qing thought of how he was going to be in the same department as the captain again. Hence, he bought some apples from a fruit stall on the way.
When he continued forward and passed by a newly opened immortal pool, he even saw an acquaintance.
After noticing Xu Qing, Xu Xiaohui greeted him happily and even gave him a jade slip.
"Senior Brother Xu, this immortal pool is a side business I opened with a good friend. You can come over when you're free. Take this jade slip. There's no charge."
Xu Qing nodded. His gaze then landed on the other woman behind Xu Xiaohui. That was her informant.
Xu Qing was the one who asked his informant to pay for Xu Xiaohui's shop.
In this world, Xu Qing felt that very few people knew how to repay kindness. Although Xu Xiaohui's cultivation and aptitude were poor, her character had good points. He felt that if he could help, he would do so.
Hence, after receiving the jade slip, Xu Qing left and arrived at the entrance of the Special Security Department.
"Greetings, Director!"
The members of the Special Security Department at the door greeted respectfully with fanaticism in their eyes. They were all former members of the Homicide Department.
Xu Qing nodded and walked into the Special Security Department. On the way, he saw many familiar faces. He even saw Ding Xiaohai.
Ding Xiaohai, who had wanted to become a core disciple back then and had successfully obtained it after the competition on the merfolk islands and advanced to the Foundation Building realm, revealed a complicated expression the moment he saw Xu Qing.
He looked at Xu Qing and lowered his head, bowing deeply.
"Greetings, Director."
Xu Qing glanced at Ding Xiaohai. The other party's aptitude was indeed extraordinary. Now, he already had a ball of life fire and had opened about 40 magic apertures. It wasn't easy to do this in a few years.
However, Xu Qing didn't like him. When he saw this person, Xu Qing thought of Zhou Qingpeng. However, everyone had their own way of living. Hence, he retracted his gaze and walked into the distance.
Ding Xiaohai fell silent. He looked at the departing Xu Qing and sighed inwardly. He knew about Zhou Qingpeng but he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.
In this chaotic world, the first thing everyone had to consider was naturally themselves.
Xu Qing went all the way to the center of the Special Security Department and saw the captain there.
The captain was constantly checking the dossiers. From time to time, he would issue decrees and arrange for the branches of the department to deal with various things. He looked very busy.
Seeing this scene, Xu Qing felt that the captain was actually very suitable for doing these jobs. He took out the bag of apples he had bought on the way and placed it on the captain's table. He then sat down at the side and closed his eyes to cultivate.
A long time later, the captain lifted his head and took a bite of the apple. He glanced at Xu Qing, who was cultivating, and felt unhappy. He was prepared to make Xu Qing do the few most difficult things. He let out a cough.
Xu Qing opened his eyes.
"Eldest Senior Brother, do you still want more apples?" As Xu Qing spoke, he took out two more and placed them on the table.
The captain looked at the apples and then at Xu Qing. His expression became solemn.
"Don't give me that. Little Qing, you've learned bad things!"
Xu Qing thought about it and took out a jade slip, placing it on the table.
"What is this?" The captain was surprised.
