Qiu Tu was appointed as a deputy in the Execution Department of the Order Temple and heads towards his new position with Zhao Ji and Jasmine. However, upon arrival, a guard refuses to grant him entry, citing a lack of official notice for his appointment. Qiu Tu suspects a deliberate obstruction and decides to contact Qing Er, Elina's chief steward, for assistance in navigating this unexpected obstacle.

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu got in touch with Qing Er.

As expected, when Qing Er heard that Qiu Tu was stopped at the entrance of the "Execution Department," she was clearly a bit surprised.

She directly said, "Lord Qiu Tu, please be patient, I'll come over right away."

She thought for a moment and added, "There may be some miscommunication involved in this."

After hanging up the communication Treasure, Qing Er arrived at the "Execution Department" in a matter of minutes.

As Elina's assistant and an executive of the West Branch, Qing Er obviously had a certain prestige throughout the "Wine God Country."

So seeing her arrive, the guards immediately became tense.

However, even so, the guard hesitated a bit when facing Qing Er, trying to lead Qiu Tu into the "Execution Department."

If someone failed to see the intrigue here, Qing Er wouldn't be fit to be Elina's assistant.

So she directly glared and sternly reprimanded, "What's this? You can't even verify Lord Qiu Tu's identity anymore?"

"Or do you suspect that I am a spy trying to gather intelligence too?"

Hearing Qing Er's intense wording, the guard finally didn't dare to stop them. He hurriedly stepped aside and knelt on one knee, muttering "I dare not."

Seeing the guard finally stop obstructing them, Qing Er took a deep breath and then glanced at him. She then gestured to Qiu Tu, "Lord Qiu Tu, please come this way."

Qiu Tu heard this and said with a smile, "It seems Qing Er's words do carry weight."

"I almost rebelled against the 'Execution Department' just now, ignoring Elina's assignment."

Qiu Tu's words were somewhat pointed, instantly causing the guard's face to turn pale.

With Qing Er leading, the three finally entered the "Execution Department."

The upper management of the "Execution Department" seemed to have been paying attention to all this, so when Qing Er arrived, a Divine King immediately came out to greet them.

He was not tall, only about 1.5 meters, with two strips of mustache on his face, carrying a thick turtle shell on his back, his mung bean-sized eyes glimmering shrewdly, looking a bit like a Turtle Prime Minister Qiu Tu had seen in dramas.

After coming out, he amiably bowed to Qing Er and said, "I didn't expect Lady Qing Er to come, forgive me for not greeting you from afar, I hope you'll pardon me."

Then, he glanced at Qiu Tu and said, "This must be Lord Qiu Tu, right?"

"Surely young and promising."

Hearing the 'Turtle Prime Minister,' Qing Er blandly responded and then introduced to Qiu Tu, "This is Hanhai Divine King. Like you, he is Heavy Stone God King's deputy, assisting him in handling the 'Execution Department' work."

"Mainly responsible for various documentation, personnel, and other work."

"You could get to know each other."

After saying this, Qing Er deeply looked at the Hanhai Divine King, raising her swan-like neck, sharply and said,

"Lord Hanhai, a couple of days ago, I sent you the appointment notice for Lord Qiu Tu."

"Yet today, he still couldn't enter the 'Execution Department.'

Hearing Qing Er's words, Hanhai Divine King immediately chuckled and said, "You indeed sent the appointment notice to me, and I've passed it along."

"It might be... these few days, the 'Execution Department' is mainly focused on handling the affairs of the seven Divine Countries, which caused the delay."

"Don't worry, I will definitely hold another meeting today to send out this appointment."

Undoubtedly, Hanhai Divine King is indeed a clever person, with just two simple sentences, he completely pushed away his responsibility, and also minimized the issue as a mere accident. Making it hard for anyone to hold him accountable.

This kind of response made Zhao Ji, who doesn't usually care for such power struggles, deeply look at him.

And Qing Er is Elina's chief steward, not Qiu Tu's. She came to help Qiu Tu out of consideration for Elina, of course, she won't get involved in the internal disputes of the 'Execution Department,' so upon hearing Hanhai Divine King's words, although she frowned slightly, she just nodded without saying much.

With Hanhai Divine King's reception, Qing Er did not stay in the "Execution Department" for long.

After handing Qiu Tu over to Hanhai Divine King, she left the "Execution Department" and went about her business.

Throughout, Heavy Stone God King never came out.

This kind of attitude gave Qiu Tu a rough understanding of the situation he would face in the "Execution Department."

Seeing this, Zhao Ji, trailing behind Qiu Tu, frowned slightly, her cold gaze falling over "Turtle Prime Minister's" back.

But as soon as Qing Er left, Jasmine suddenly spoke, flashing a sweet smile at Qiu Tu, then said,

"Brother, I thought only back in my remote hometown there would be situations where commands weren't seamlessly conveyed."

"Unexpectedly, a 'temple' organization composed of Deities would also have such slip-ups. Quite funny, isn't it?"

Hearing Jasmine's words, the expression of "Turtle Prime Minister," who was explaining the "Execution Department" under a veneer of cordiality to Qiu Tu, stiffened, almost losing his smile.

Qiu Tu was momentarily stunned, almost letting out a chuckle. He glanced at Jasmine behind him and then replied with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense. It should just be a mistake."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jasmine pouted her rosy lips and then replied, "Oh. Is that so... alright."

"I thought the 'Order Temple' had about the same efficiency as the political organizations in my remote hometown."
