Chen Cheng was now finally getting a taste of why Xiao Nianci was called the Poison Lady.
Working under her was nothing but thankless jobs. Who could possibly stand it?

"My Lord, I suffered some internal injuries during my previous match with Yang Poman and the others. It would be unwise for me to engage in combat anytime soon.
If I force myself, I fear I won't be able to win."
"That's fine. Just focus on recuperating. You can take action after your injuries have healed."
Xiao Nianci waved her hand magnanimously, but then her tone shifted.
"However, as the acting Director of the Inspection Department, I must treat all my subordinates equally.

then I'll have no choice but to follow the regulations and fail you.
