Li Yunjing quickly bowed and saluted, saying, "Disciple Li Yunjing greets the respected steward. I am here on a mission assigned by the sect."
While speaking, Li Yunjing raised his identity token and slowly walked to the steward Wang’s desk, placing his identity token down.
Receiving Li Yunjing’s token, Steward Wang checked it briefly and nodded.
"Your task is simple. You are responsible for managing the books and handling miscellaneous errands on the first floor of the ’Scripture Pavilion,’ ensuring its normal operation."
Steward Wang said plainly, "You have a team of ten people at your disposal. They all have experience. If you don’t understand something, you can ask your team members!"
"Additionally, the second floor is off-limits to anyone below True Disciple and Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. This includes you and your team as well!"
"Understood! Disciple understands."
Li Yunjing hesitated for a moment and then responded. It seemed Steward Wang didn’t want to engage with him too much given his status.
He couldn’t leverage the banners of the Fu Family or Yu Family effectively in the ’Scripture Pavilion’ here.
"Hmm! You are an Outer Sect disciple, and your residence is quite far from ’Brocade Peak.’ There is a temporary accommodation for you in the back mountain. You may go now!"
Seeing Li Yunjing respond quickly without asking more questions, Steward Wang seemed satisfied and added an extra sentence.
Being cultivators, such trivial matters didn’t require excessive questioning. After a few days, one would get used to it!
The steward had to continue his cultivation, aiming to achieve the long-sought-after Golden Core Realm in his twilight years!
He didn’t have the time to bother with these Qi Cultivation Realm junior cultivators!
[Li Yunjing, Qi Cultivation Realm Fourth Layer.]
[Affiliation: Scripture Pavilion, Wanjuan Palace, Yucai Hall, Second Patrol Team, Steward.]
When Li Yunjing left the room and took back his identity token, there was new information added to it.
"Sigh! Where will I find my Second Patrol Team?"
Li Yunjing smiled wryly while standing in ’Yucai Hall,’ watching the busy fellow disciples, mumbling to himself.
"Hmm? Looking for the Second Patrol Team?"
Suddenly, an Outer Sect disciple passing by stopped in his tracks, looked at Li Yunjing, and asked.
"Yes! Fellow disciple, do you know where the Second Patrol Team is?"
Seeing someone responding to him, Li Yunjing quickly asked.
"I am from the Second Patrol Team. We are on rest today, all recuperating at ’Listening Waves Garden’ in the back mountain. And you are?"
The person smiled and spoke softly.
"Hmm? Searching high and low only to find it effortlessly!"
Li Yunjing’s spirits lifted as he showed his identity token and laughed, "How coincidental! I am Li Yunjing, just assigned to the Second Patrol Team as your steward."
The person was startled, looking at Li Yunjing’s identity token and stammered, "Su Guo greets the steward!"
"Hahaha! Let’s go! Take me to see our people. It’s a good time for everyone to get acquainted. Also, tell me about our work."
Li Yunjing was pleased and patted Su Guo on the shoulder, showing no hint of unfamiliarity.
In terms of integrating into a team, Li Yunjing was experienced. In his past life, he had changed ten or eight jobs and was well accustomed to it.
"Alright! Steward Li, please follow me!"
Su Guo was startled, then quickly regained his composure, thinking to himself, "Why did they parachute a team leader in? What about Senior Brother Jin?"
The two exited ’Wanjuan Palace,’ and Su Guo led the way while explaining their work to Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing nodded continuously as he listened, thinking this task was akin to that of a librarian.
Except the books they protected were much more precious.
After understanding everything, Li Yunjing felt reassured.
As for safety concerns, it was possible. But anyone making trouble or trying to steal books in the ’Scripture Pavilion’ would be courting death!
On this point, Li Yunjing wasn’t particularly worried.
The ’Listening Waves Garden’ in the back mountain was a collection of neatly arranged houses amongst a bamboo grove.
The conditions here seemed far inferior to Li Yunjing’s accommodations in the Outer Sect.
However, the serene environment was much better than the accommodations at ’Qiongze Peak.’
Here, amidst a total of around thirty wooden houses, it was where the temporary accommodations for Outer Sect disciples were arranged.
Meanwhile, on ’Brocade Peak,’ there were quite a few such accommodations, and the temporary quarters for Inner Sect disciples were better than those for Outer Sect disciples.
With Su Guo’s help, his team of ten was soon assembled.
One by one, team members started reporting and introducing themselves.
Li Yunjing nodded to each one, making nine people including Su Guo. Who was the last one?
Thinking about this, Li Yunjing looked towards the last youth with a rebellious attitude.
"Is this a troublemaker?"
Li Yunjing sneered. In his previous life, he had seen many workplace nuances. Sometimes, he was also one of the troublemakers.
In struggles with authority, sometimes he won and sometimes he lost, getting beaten up and kicked out.
This youth was putting on an arrogant act for his benefit, wasn’t he?
Just an Outer Sect disciple, at most Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, what could he do?
Li Yunjing asked calmly.
Other members’ gazes all darted towards Jin Shouyun.
Before Li Yunjing’s sudden appointment, Jin Shouyun had been assisting the previous team leader. Everyone thought he would naturally rise to the position, but unexpectedly, a newcomer arrived.
Jin Shouyun’s face was extremely ugly, but sect rules were supreme. As a steward, Li Yunjing could suppress him entirely. Such a person was not someone Jin Shouyun could openly defy!
If Li Yunjing reported this to the sect, Jin Shouyun would certainly have no good outcome.
However, Jin Shouyun still felt indignant!
Why did a connected outsider suppress him?
"Hmm! Since we are all in the same team, then we are all one. I, as the steward, will not make things difficult for everyone. As long as you ensure the stability of the first floor of the ’Scripture Pavilion,’ I won’t trouble you unnecessarily!"
Li Yunjing nodded while looking at the line of fellow disciples in front of him and continued, "Of course, if anyone opposes me, pays lip service without genuine action, or frequently makes mistakes in their work, don’t blame me for not showing mercy then!"
Regarding these subordinates, Li Yunjing didn’t intend to win their loyalty.
They were all assigned by the sect and might separate after cooperating for half a year or so.
Li Yunjing naturally didn’t have the time to foster friendships and connections with them.
As long as the Second Patrol Team ran smoothly and didn’t hinder his own cultivation, that was enough.
A year later, Li Yunjing didn’t even know where he would be!
