Chapter 811 Retirement

Chapter 811 Retirement

Yang Qing couldn't but sigh in exasperation as he languidly made his way to his abode.

"Why does time always seem to fly on the last day of your vacation.."

Drinking with Dai Chen flew by so fast and it was already just a few minutes to sunrise by the time he was headed to his abode. Officially his vacation was over. When it started he never thought it would end so fast. Thirty days felt like an eternity to him, but that eternity sort of transformed into an instant.

It seemed like it was just the other day he was touring around the continent atop the bluefin ferry and now he was about to resume his daily routine of being worked to the bone. He could feel his soul and bones start lamenting as they faintly crumbled under the overbearing pressure of what awaited him.

"Maybe I should just retire, or ask the seniors at the Judicial Review Committee to employ me to take care of the courtyard there.." thought Yang Qing as he let out another sigh of resignation whilst enviously thinking what it would be like to lead a carefree retired life like those seniors at the committee.

Every time he went to see them, they were either drinking tea, gambling, playing go, trimming a bonsai plant, enjoying biscuits, or soaking in the sun.

When would he get to loaf around like that? He had no intention of waiting till he was old and grey.

As for why the Order would allow retirements despite being severely undermanned, it was to prevent an implosion from within its ranks. Considering the nature of their world and how ruthless it was, being a member of the Order was anything but easy. It takes a lot from someone and sometimes the cost becomes too much for one to carry.

For the Order, rather than take the risk of what might happen if more was added to those people than they could bear,they offer respite to them as an option. Even when one retires, the Order still continues to support them with resources, albeit the value is decreased from what they got whilst they were still in service. However, even reduced, it is still more than plentiful to wholesomely their growth at every level of their cultivation base.

It was one of the few things Yang Qing rather admired about them. One of his backup plans was to jump into retirement if he saw the caseloads were not as few as he imagined as he moved up the ladder but before he considered it, he wanted to squeeze as much as he could from them to have a good nest egg.

He had a good life to maintain and a few thieving parasites in Ellie and the Celestial Nesting Weaver to support, if he was not careful, those two would bleed them dry. It wasn't would, they would definitely bleed him dry and when it came to the two at least Ellie would try and be sneaky about it, but when it came to the Celestial nesting weaver, it would gloatingly do it in the open and even mock him for it as it carved him up to his last penny.

Yang Qing could feel his blood boiling at the thought of it. If he wanted to retire comfortably, he could only do it after he had stepped into the outer domain courts at least. At that stage, whatever his earnings were aside, he would be in the domain realm, even retired, he would have a lot of other avenues for earning such as taking a small dive in the Millionsfold Treasure Ocean and scooping out a few valuables here and there that would live him and his parasites set for life.

Yang Qing found himself chuckling as he shook his head,

"It's still too early to think about these things. I need to focus on surviving my first case back, from the way Yu Gen and Xia Ting reacted when I asked them about it, It looks like it will be a handful...Huh, is that? I must be losing it.."
