"Yes and no," Ming Lin explained. "The Translation Department's special status comes from the fact that it doesn't have a dedicated director. It's under the direct jurisdiction of the Elder Council."
"But people from the department often become Elder Council members. For instance, Elder Sang's teacher was once on the Elder Council."
"I had no idea…" Su Chen was surprised; he really didn't know much about this.
"You went to the Translation Department to network but didn't even find this out?" Ming Lin teased.
Su Chen shrugged, and Ming Lin continued, "Of course, the most crucial person is his senior brother, Pu Zhenghong—Elder Pu."
"This Elder Pu, it's said that he was on very good terms with our Chief Judge back in the day. Oh, and your teacher too…"
"My teacher?" Su Chen was taken aback. He'd never heard Sang Hanhai mention it. He couldn't help but ask:
"This Elder Pu, is he that impressive?"
