Lin Rui walked out of the County Office's inner courtyard looking somber, devoid of any joy.
Wang Sen and Blood Blade Ji had been waiting outside, and both were slightly surprised when they saw Lin Rui's expression.
Today, Lin Rui had not only passed the Imperial Censor's "Heavenly Demon Test," but had also been appointed as the Deputy Commander for the defense of Wang City—a cause for great celebration. So why did he still look so troubled?
Knowing they were curious, Lin Rui signaled to them with his eyes as he came out, "Let's talk when we get back!"
As the three of them reached the gate of the office, Lin Rui ran into Zhang Tianchang, who was just coming out from the other side.
This man must have been working overtime on a case in the County Office and only now had he finished his shift.
Lin Rui felt a surge of thoughts and greeted Zhang Tianchang with a beaming smile, "What a coincidence, Brother Tianchang! You haven't finished your shift yet?"
