Purple Air Palace.

In the spacious hall, the ground is entirely made of sapphire, which is smooth and discernible. There are stone pillars made of white jade around it, and several ancient lamps are hung on them, covering them with wisps of eternal spiritual fire.

In the entire palace, the maids and eunuchs were all kicked out, and except for Lin Ran and the emperor, there was no one else.

Lin Ran clasped his hands together, thumbs pointing upward, and bowed slightly to the curtain.

The curtain was made up of tiny spiritual beads, and a few eastern pearls produced from distant seas fell on it. From Lin Ran's perspective, he could only vaguely see a figure wearing a dragon robe, behind him.

In his perception, waves of majestic dragon energy spread, making his heart tremble slightly.

"Ping Shen." The emperor's voice sounded from behind the bead curtain.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lin Ran raised his head, and his mind was spinning. It was rumored that the current emperor had only been in power for ten years, and he was not the eldest son. As soon as he ascended the throne, the atmosphere of the entire Liufeng Empire changed. Not only did he control the inspection station, but also the clan mansion.

In his hands, he gathered the imperial power and expanded his armaments. In just a few years, the number of soldiers in the four legions of Taotie, Leixiao, Xunfeng and Chiyan increased by tens of millions, making Liufeng's strength skyrocket!

Even the emperor of the Xia Qi Empire changed their color after hearing this method, and the three empires strengthened their army expansion.

Such a decisive emperor undoubtedly made many people heartbroken.

"The land of Zhongzhou is the third largest city in Liufeng for me. This time the Blood God Demon Sect, Tianxie Sect, and Ghost God Sect suddenly attacked Zhongzhou. Ai Qing has done a great job in preventing the war in Zhongzhou and saving tens of millions of people. I don't know what Ai Qing wants.

What reward do you want?"

Behind the curtain, the Emperor spoke.

Lin Ran cupped his hands and said: "This battle in Zhongzhou depends entirely on the manpower of King Hanhai and Zong Ling to turn the tide. I dare not take credit."

"Every meritorious service must be rewarded. Reward and punishment are clearly timeless rules. Just like the laws of this ancient world, they cannot be changed at will, otherwise chaos will inevitably occur. You don't have to be humble."

The emperor's voice surrounded the entire hall, carrying imperial power.

"As the envoy of Zhongzhou, it is my responsibility to guard Zhongzhou. I dare not ask for rewards." Lin Ran thought for a while and said with cupped hands.

There was silence behind the bead curtain, and then the figure spoke:

"You are the inspector of the inspection station. If you are transferred to the capital this time, you can continue to serve in the inspection station. Zhou Mi has submitted a memorial to me. He is also very optimistic about you. So, you will be the sixth inspector of the inspection station.

If there is any shortage, how about you serve as the sixth supervisor?"

Inspector!

Lin Ran's ears sounded like thunder, and his eyes suddenly widened. He looked up and saw that the emperor's face could not be seen clearly behind the bead curtain. It was impossible to guess what he was thinking. The six people on the inspection platform

The inspector is a person in power only under the chief of the inspection station.

It can be said that apart from the emperor and the master of the station, the only ones who can control the inspection station are these six inspectors.

The inspector station supervises all officials, and has the power to kill first and report later. The full force is so powerful that it is simply eye-catching and all officials are frightened. A supervisory envoy is definitely a proper and important official of the court.

Lin Ran has only been serving as the inspector for two or three years. He was transferred from the post of Captain of the Patrol Army to the inspection station as the inspector, which is an exceptional promotion. Now he has to go from the inspector to the supervisor in one step.

If other people heard this, their eyes would definitely fall to the ground in fear.

The official position of Inspector is only the fifth rank, while the Supervisor is the third rank. This is not only a triple jump, but I don’t know how many ranks it has jumped!

This time the inspection station is expanding, and it is rumored that there is an intention to add a sixth inspector.

The position of supervisor is too important, and only real-level experts are qualified to hold it. However, this expansion is an excellent opportunity. You don’t have to reach the Yuan Shen level to become a supervisor.

Therefore, there are also undercurrents surging in the inspection station. I don’t know how many people have been beaten to death and fought openly and secretly for such a position. However, this position has never been confirmed. It hangs there, like a piece of intangible fat, attracting people.

Attracting everyone's attention.

Lin Ran didn't expect that he would end up eating this piece of fat.

"This... I would like to inform Your Majesty that I have only been serving as an Inspector for a few years. No matter in terms of qualifications or cultivation, I am far from being able to hold the position of Inspector. I would like to ask Your Majesty to take back my appointment." Lin Ran declined politely.

The Emperor frowned slightly and said, "I have already discussed this matter with Zhou Mi, so there is no need to shirk the blame."

Lin Ran didn't speak anymore. He just had to be polite and modest about this kind of thing. He couldn't really shirk it. After all, it was the position of inspector, which was very tempting to him.

Imperial officials are shrouded in the luck of the court. The higher the official position, the stronger the luck. Supervision makes this position very beneficial, otherwise there would not be so many people competing for it.

"As the number one in the Hidden Dragon Ranking and the number one genius in Liufeng, you don't even have this little bit of confidence, right?" Behind the bead curtain, the emperor's chuckle came from behind.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, I accept your decree!" Lin Ran thought for a moment and said with cupped hands.

…

In the end, Lin Ran did not see the current Liufeng Emperor and retreated from the Purple Air Palace.

"Congratulations, Master Lin!"

Outside the Ziqi Palace, only Eunuch Gui was left in a bright red robe. At this time, his fat white face was filled with a smile. He looked at Lin Ran who came out of the hall with a smile, and put the fly whisk in his hand on his left arm.

, smiled and congratulated.

"Thank you, Eunuch Gui. It's just a small thing but not a sign of respect." Lin Ran glanced at the fat eunuch with a smile on his face. He touched the ring on his left hand with his finger and immediately handed over a small bag concealed from his cuff.

.

He had just come out of the Purple Air Palace, and Eunuch Gui actually already knew about his promotion. It was obvious that he had known for a long time that he was about to take up the position of supervisor.

The person who can get this news must be someone whom the emperor trusts.

In the imperial palace, there are absolutely very few people with such abilities, and from the conversations along the way, Lin Ran learned that Eunuch Gui was the chief internal manager of the imperial palace.

The cultivation level of such a character is absolutely earth-shattering, a real-person existence.

"Oh, I don't dare to do this, I don't dare!"

Lin Ran didn't want a bribe, but he didn't want to offend this unfathomable manager. Unexpectedly, as soon as the bag was handed over, Eunuch Gui was startled and hurriedly pushed it away, as if avoiding a snake.

"Inspector Lin is a person valued by the emperor and Master Zhou Mi. As a disciple of Master Zong Ling, he has a bright future. I don't dare to accept your money. If His Majesty finds out, I will have to take off this old slave.

." Eunuch Gui said with a smile on his face, but he was afraid that Lin Ran would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained a few words.

Lin Ran was stunned and tried to persuade him again. Seeing that Eunuch Gui was determined, he had no choice but to take it back.

"In that case, please take care of me, Eunuch Gui, in the future!" Lin Ran said with a smile.

Summoned by the emperor near noon, Lin Ran looked up at the sky and was about to walk out of the imperial city when he saw Eunuch Gui's ears twitching slightly and stopped Lin Ran.

"Inspector Lin, please walk slowly. The emperor has ordered that you will be given an additional opportunity to enter the royal secret treasury. You can enter the treasury to choose a treasure for self-defense." Eunuch Gui looked at Lin Ran, and he was also surprised in his heart.

This new inspector was really favored. Not only was he given the position of inspector, but he was also given access to the royal treasury. It was incredible.

He has been the general manager of the imperial palace for hundreds of years, and he has never seen an emperor trust someone so favorably.

"Royal Secret Treasury."

Lin Ran's eyes moved slightly, and his heart began to beat. The things that could be put into the royal secret vault must be extraordinary treasures. It would be great if he could find a drop of blood essence of a mythical beast or a spiritual pet that suits his heart.

Already.

"Please, Eunuch Gui, lead the way." Lin Ran looked at the white eunuch wearing a scarlet robe.

"Inspector, please!" Eunuch Gui stretched out his hand and led Lin Ran to the other side of the imperial palace.

Along the way, in various parts of the imperial palace, there were imperial guards patrolling on strange beasts. When they saw Eunuch Gui and Gong Gui, they saluted respectfully. Between the palace gates, these precious mirrors were hung, shining out wisps of divine light.

Anyone who wants to sneak into the imperial palace will have nowhere to hide.

The Imperial City's defenses are so tight that even the most powerful burglars in the world cannot get inside.

"arrive."

After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, passing through palace gates and moon gates, the two came to the outside of a magnificent palace. Eunuch Gui smiled and said to Lin Ran.

This is an octagonal palace with a very unique shape. There are Imperial Guards in dark black armor guarding the outside, which is even more tightly guarded than elsewhere.
