Bab 208: Chapter 161: Holding a Third-Rank Position_1

In the Lingxiao Hall.

The Immortal Officials debated Yibai's rank, arguing much, without reaching a consensus.

Some Immortal Officials insisted on appointing Yibai as a third-rank official, while others were firmly opposed.

"How could Chen Long's conduct not qualify him for the third rank? Chen Long dared to confront the Hail God to protect the people of an entire prefecture while in the Mortal Realm. Later, he rectified the matters of Zhen Shan Temple and reported the County Magistrate of Chu Prefecture for wrongdoing. With such deeds, how could he not qualify?"

"Such good acts and merits indeed suffice, but how could one ascend to the third rank so swiftly?"

"I personally guarantee that Chen Long can achieve it..."

"What use is your personal guarantee?"

"..."

The Immortal Officials continued their incessant quarrel.

Above on the high platform, the Heavenly Emperor sat in silence.

"I believe Chen Long can be a third-rank official."
