"Violated the Development Law? Which article does the captain refer to?" Zhao Xing and Yang Baihe walked side by side into the cabin for a detailed conversation."?"
Yang Baihe paused his steps and pulled out a stack of documents: "I was asking about the medical and compensation terms, haven’t you violated many articles?"
"So that’s it." Zhao Xing looked enlightened after reading.
The development of the Ancient Star Path has been ongoing for three hundred years!
According to the Great Zhou’s Development Law, they are required to cover part of the medical expenses for the injured and pay compensation.
Yang Baihe said someone reported Zhao Xing for violating the Development Law, based on this article.
Because the number of people registered in Great Zhou is far fewer than those actually working.
The informant thereby speculated: those unregistered personnel must have been concealed by Great Zhou.
The intelligence provided by Yang Baihe also found some actual examples.
"What do you say?"
Yang Baihe arrived ahead of time at Starfire to investigate the truth. If someone else were to investigate, even if there was no problem, it would become an issue.
"I did not violate the Development Law." Zhao Xing pointed to a column on the list: "This batch of people from the Green Seed Sect, I haven’t employed them."
"What do you mean?" Yang Baihe was a bit puzzled.
"The compensation terms in the Imperial Development Law first require a clear employment contract on file. I didn’t hire them, how can it be considered illegal?"
"But the Green Seed Sect is indeed working for you, right?" Yang Baihe questioned, "Even if there’s no employment contract, there is indeed employment in practice."
"I didn’t pay them, so it’s not considered employment."
"If you didn’t even pay them, how can it constitute an employment relationship? Let alone violate the compensation terms."
Yang Baihe was a bit astonished: "You mean they’re working for you for free? I heard the Green Seed Sect even brought their own tools for development, and you didn’t pay them... Are there such foolish people?"
"Don’t put it so harshly. They are all volunteers based on ethics, belief, and contributing to improving the environment."
"Isn’t that still working for free?"
Zhao Xing did not argue, but instead took out a jade scroll and handed it to Yang Baihe: "If the captain is not clear, you can look at this report."
"I’m not saying Great Zhou is perfect and without the slightest flaw, but on major issues of stance, there are certainly none."
After a careful look, Yang Baihe immediately took out a Star Mirror, whose surface turned fiery red, reflecting a world of flames.
"Two more lords of Starfire have arrived; I must give an account. Wait for me."
Yang Baihe’s soul left his body and immediately jumped into it.
Zhao Xing could not see what was happening inside the mirror, only waiting quietly.
........
"Green Fire Envoy, did you finish the investigation so quickly? It won’t be an insignificant result, will it."
In the flaming space, a thin man soon appeared, his hand clutching a starfire chain made of a dark red boundary stone at his waist, with long fingers and a miniature energy core on the back, harboring terrifying power.
Yang Baihe retorted: "Yinghuo Envoy, there really was no problem with this matter, so of course, the investigation was fast. Do I need to be like Yinghuo Envoy and take a thousand years to investigate a small matter?"
"Slow work produces fine work, I’m just worried Green Fire Envoy would make a mistake." Yinghuo Envoy Lang Yuan stated indifferently, "You’ve worked hard to rise up, don’t let a small thing ruin it."
"No need for your guidance."
Yang Baihe and Lang Yuan, like new and old employees, disliked each other.
Because Yang Baihe rose too quickly—three thousand years ago, he was only in the Tao Domain Realm and had not become a Green Fire Envoy. Lang Yuan had been Yinghuo Envoy for many years.
Yang Baihe disliked Lang Yuan, as he always acted superior due to his qualifications. His previous vacation was, in part, because of this person.
"Gululu~" Suddenly, another giant with one red and one silver pupil emerged from the flames.
"Liaoyuan Envoy." Yang Baihe and Lang Yuan saluted simultaneously.
Liaoyuan Envoy is the head of the Starfire Eighteen Envoys. Though not the Emperor, his status and power are comparable to an Emperor and is highly respected within Starfire.
"Bai Yang, report the investigation results." Liaoyuan Envoy commanded.
"Zhao Xing did not violate the Imperial Development Law," Yang Baihe first stated the result.
"The Green Seed Sect was not employed by Zhao Xing or Great Zhou, no employment contract exists."
"No employment contract, but practical employment. Can the Imperial Development Law be evaded this way?" Yinghuo Envoy interjected.
Yang Baihe calmly presented the documents.
"Hoo~" The documents instantly ignited, revealing countless texts and scenarios.
"Liaoyuan Envoy, please see, there are many groups like the Green Seed Sect, forming spontaneously, gathered in the wilderness of the Annihilation Star Corridor."
"The Empire and Academic City registered an organization called ’Anxing Society.’
"The purpose is to research Desolate Domain phenomena, targeting the Annihilation Star Corridor, to study and practice the Annihilation Star Six Qi Theory."
"According to the Empire’s ordinances, they are not connected to Great Zhou nor have any monetary interests in the Ancient Star Path project."
Yang Baihe emphasized the interest relations.
"In other words, Zhao Xing or Great Zhou never in any form paid the Green Seed Sect. Without payment, how can it be considered employment?"
"In that case, it cannot be determined that he violated the Imperial Development Law."
"Hmm?" Liaoyuan Envoy and Yinghuo Envoy looked over together.
After reading, both remained silent.
In three hundred years, more than twenty Star Annihilation Dharma Assemblies have been held; Zhao Xing’s followers have grown increasingly large.
They gathered, voluntarily contributing to the development of the Ancient Star Path, unknowingly forming a considerable force.
Similar organizations stem from different interpretations of the Six Qi Theory, with Anxing Society being the largest of them.
