Wan Qing took a deep breath, suppressing his anger.
"Wan Qing, I am a Fourth-Grade Inspection Envoy. You are merely a Fifth-Grade Captain. Is this how you speak to a superior officer?" Dai Jin said coldly. "The Taiping Bureau's privilege of being one rank higher applies only to local officials. The Inspection Bureau and the Taiping Bureau are of equal standing. When you see me, you don't get that extra rank!"
"Wan Qing, I am merely asking your Taiping Capital Captain to act as a guide. You keep making excuses. Are you trying to hide something? Or perhaps there were never any Profound Nether Sect remnants or Corpse Demons to begin with, and this was all just a performance staged by your Wuling Taiping Bureau?" Dai Jin sneered.
The Inspection Bureau had been officially established, and he was a formally appointed Fourth-Grade Inspection Envoy.
