Chapter 632: Chapter 23: A Paper Folding is a Clone!_2

This miraculous effect is enough to make it believe in the grand promises drawn by Jiang Ning.

...

Then.

Jiang Ning, accompanied by Lv Yi, walked out of the residence.

Headed towards the Inspection Office of Dongling City.

Currently, he still had over a million Contribution Points.

Yesterday, before Zhao Yulong left, he also suggested that Jiang Ning should visit the Inspection Office if he had time today.

...

Dongling City, Inspection Office.

Located in the northeast direction of the East District.

Situated beneath the steep and precipitous cliffside.

"Mr. Jiang, please wait a moment, I will go in and announce!"

The two gatekeepers at the entrance of the Inspection Office took the Token handed over by Jiang Ning and instantly their demeanor turned respectful.

Because the Token Jiang Ning presented at this moment was the Heavenly Mechanism Talisman originally handed over to him by Bai Luoyu.

The Heavenly Mechanism Talisman, the Identity Token of an Inspector.

In Dongling City, who doesn’t know about those two Inspectors?

Especially as guards at the entrance of the Inspection Office, they were even more aware of the significance of this Token.

That is the Identity Token of an Inspector.

Although they had never seen Jiang Ning, they dared not delay at all.

Moments later.

Footsteps approached from afar.

Then.

Bai Luoyu and a woman in her forties, dressed in palace attire, appeared in his view.

Seeing Jiang Ning’s arrival, Bai Luoyu smiled.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning also smiled.

"Master Su, this is Jiang Ning from Luoshui County!" Bai Luoyu said to the middle-aged woman beside her.

Hearing this, Jiang Ning immediately understood.

To be addressed as a Residence Master by Bai Luoyu.

Coupled with the fact that he met Master Zhao, the principal Residence Master, yesterday, the identity of this woman was naturally self-evident.

She must be one of the two Deputy Mansion Masters of Dongling City.

Immediately.

Bai Luoyu and the palace-attired woman crossed the threshold and came before Jiang Ning.

"Brother Jiang, let me introduce you, this is Master Su!" Bai Luoyu said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning cupped his hands: "Greetings, Master Su!"

The palace-attired woman nodded slightly: "Commander Jiang, though I am in Dongling City, I have long heard of your great name!"

"Master Su flatters me!" Jiang Ning smiled.

Su Zhi nodded slightly, showing her approval.

"I originally thought Commander Jiang, being famous at a young age, might have an overbearing arrogance!"

"Judging now, it seems I overthought it!"

"Commander Jiang not only lacks arrogance but is instead humble and gentle, even more pleasing to the eye than Bai Luoyu."

Upon hearing this, Bai Luoyu couldn’t help but smile.

"Master Su, how can you be so superficial?"

"Superficial?" Su Zhi smiled gently: "You men are human, and naturally love to see young and beautiful women, so aren’t we women also human?"

"Indeed!" Bai Luoyu smiled without arguing.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ning also smiled.

He actually thought Su Zhi made a good point.

Regardless of being male or female, we are all human.

The love for beauty is something universally shared.

Moreover, as he understood, in reality, women have a greater appreciation for beauty compared to men, only constrained by societal norms, making them appear more reserved.

...

A moment later.

The three of them walked along the path of the Inspection Office.

As people on the road saw the arrival of Su Zhi and Bai Luoyu, they stepped aside, watching their backs and discussing quietly.

"Commander Jiang." Su Zhi said: "Master Zhao is playing chess with Master Jin Chan today, so he couldn’t come here, please understand!"

"Master Su, you are too polite!" Jiang Ning said: "I am just a small commander from Luoshui County, how could I trouble Master Zhao to come personally, for Master Su to see me already makes me feel honored beyond measure."

Su Zhi smiled: "Commander Jiang is not just any small commander, while others may not know, but I do! Commander Jiang is already a candidate Inspector, once the evaluation is through, it won’t be long before Commander Jiang becomes Inspector Jiang! Becoming the third Inspector of Dongling County!"

"At that time, I will still need Inspector Jiang to lend a helping hand in the future!"

Upon hearing this.

Jiang Ning said: "Master Su is joking, besides, it is still too early to say, as everything remains uncertain yet."

"But it’s not early at all!" Su Zhi said, "Master Bai did tell me that Commander Jiang possesses the power of one Jiazi, which left me utterly astonished!"

Between conversations.

The three paused their steps before a three-story pagoda building.

Jiang Ning looked up.

Above the entrance of the pagoda building, the plaque bore three large characters.

Internal Affairs Office.

Su Zhi said, "Commander Jiang, this is the Internal Affairs Office. The Internal Affairs Office in the county is much more abundant than the one you were in at Luoshui County, and I’m sure some things here you’ve never seen before in Luoshui County."

At this moment, Jiang Ning gazed at the Internal Affairs Office ahead, his heart secretly filled with excitement.

He now possessed a massive sum of over a million contribution points.

It was precisely the time to spend and enhance his strength.

Previously, in Luoshui County, he couldn’t readily use this wealth.

After all, the Inspection Office in Luoshui County was too rudimentary; every time something needed to be exchanged, it had to be transferred in from the county.

Now, he was right in the county.

"Let’s go!" Su Zhi once again said, "I’ll take you inside to get your proof for entering the Martial Arts Garden for further study."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning followed Su Zhi’s steps.

Bai Luoyu followed beside the two with a faint smile, saying nothing.

...

Entering the Internal Affairs Office.

Without the sunlight, the vision suddenly dimmed.

The tower-like building had few window openings.

Only small square openings in the surrounding walls.

Sunlight streamed through these openings, forming bright and conspicuous beams of light in the dim interior.

In the beams of light, dust danced like fine golden sand.

Jiang Ning surveyed the tower’s interior, his gaze falling on an elderly woman, drowsy in the sunlight, her face full of wrinkles, and hair all silver. Jiang Ning couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned.

"Granny Bai, wake up!!" Su Zhi softly spoke in front of the elderly woman.

Upon hearing the voice, the elderly woman slowly opened her eyes.

She first looked at Su Zhi before her, then turned her gaze towards Jiang Ning at the entrance.

"Senior, what are you doing here?" Jiang Ning said in surprise.

Granny Bai, upon hearing this, revealed a serene smile.

"Why, does the sight of me here surprise you, boy?"

"Very much!" Jiang Ning nodded and then said, "Senior, weren’t you in Luoshui County?"

"Miss Su, you tell him!" Granny Bai said softly.

Hearing Jiang Ning’s words, Su Zhi displayed a look of helplessness.

She was already in her forties, yet to be called ’Miss’, how could she not feel helpless?

But as one of those aware of Granny Bai’s identity, she could not refute this title.

For Granny Bai indeed had the qualifications to call her such.

She then said to Jiang Ning, "Commander Jiang, whether you saw Granny Bai in Luoshui County or here, neither was Granny Bai’s true self; they were all origami figures made by Granny Bai herself."

"Origami figure?" Jiang Ning said in astonishment.

"Yes!" Su Zhi nodded, "If Commander Jiang wishes to meet Granny Bai in person, he must go to the Royal Capital."

At this moment, Jiang Ning suddenly understood.

Origami figure?

Such extraordinary means, indistinguishable from a true person?

He secretly examined Granny Bai, but with the naked eye, he still couldn’t discern anything different from a normal person.

He couldn’t help but secretly marvel.

This made him feel that this world was far from simple.

An origami figure, yet as if a real person, able to pass for the real thing; what wondrous and unbelievable means could achieve this?

"Alright, stop staring, boy, you won’t see anything!" Granny Bai said softly.

"Apologies, it was impolite of me!" Jiang Ning immediately bowed to apologize.

Regarding Granny Bai, he further mentally tagged her as someone not to provoke.

Just moments ago, a thought crossed his mind.

To use the Heavenly Eye to take a closer look.

But now, he had completely dispelled this idea.

Regarding such incomprehensible existences.

He had no assurance that using the Heavenly Eye wouldn’t be detected by Granny Bai.

Once discovered, such probing would be a tremendous provocation.

After all, in the state of using the Heavenly Eye, he could see through any concealment.

Previously, regarding Xiao Emei, he just glanced once and saw all of Xiao Emei’s full body.

Such behavior, in terms of strong entities, touched their taboo scales, inevitably inviting thunderous fury.
