Intent to Recruit

"A martial artist at the Xiantian Realm!"

Lu Chi was shocked, his heart filled with indescribable dread. This news was something he had never expected.

He looked at Wen Qinsi with a newfound seriousness, unlike his previous dismissive attitude.

As a disciple from a prominent Lineage!

He understood better than anyone the value of a martial artist at the Xiantian Realm, a skill that could guarantee a Lineage's prosperity for over a century.

The Lu Lineage's ancestor was a martial artist at the Xiantian Realm who earned extraordinary military merits through his own strength, and from then on rose rapidly through the ranks.

As a result, the Lu Lineage also began to take off.

A flash of lightning instantly struck his mind.

Lu Chi looked at Qin Yan beside him, his lips trembling slightly.

"Brother Qin saw through the butler's true identity at a glance, so his strength must be...!"

Lu Chi's breathing quickened slightly as a crazy idea popped into his mind.

"Impossible, he's so young... how could that be?"

If that were true, I can't even imagine the sensation it would cause!

Qin Yan sensed the change in the other party's expression and smiled faintly, "Brother Lu, don't overthink it."

I have a naturally strong sense of perception, which is why I was able to detect something was wrong with the other person immediately.

Don't make wild guesses, it could cause a lot of trouble.

"Oh, I see." Lu Chi nodded hastily, feeling relieved.

That's true, how could someone so young possibly reach that level?

A smile appeared on his face.

"I'm getting old, and I tend to overthink things."

Lu Chi said jokingly.

The so-called welcoming banquet was nothing more than everyone flattering the new county magistrate.

Qin Yan watched indifferently from the sidelines. Although Wen Qinsi had achieved success in her career, she was not worthy of his excessive attention.

Just don't mess with yourself.

The banquet is coming to an end!

Just as Qin Yan was about to leave, a voice called out to him.

"Lord Qin, please wait!"

Wen Qinsi's voice made Qin Yan pause in his steps, and Lu Chi, who was standing next to him, glanced at him and immediately took his leave!

The two arrived at a secluded teahouse!

"Lord Wen, what brings you here?"

Qin Yan looked at the other party and asked calmly.

"Lord Qin is a young and outstanding talent; seeing him in person, his reputation is indeed well-deserved!"

Wen Qinsi pointed to the tea table opposite him!

Qin Yan sat down and looked at the man, curious about what tricks this guy was up to.

"Lord Qin became Demon Suppression Commandant at the age of fourteen, and his reputation resounded throughout the entire Youshan Prefecture."

I simply wish to make your acquaintance, young and outstanding individual.

Wen Qinsi's chubby face had eyes reduced to mere slits; his smile resembled that of Maitreya Buddha, yet concealed a fierce tiger within.

Qin Yan looked at the cup of fragrant tea that had been poured in front of him, slowly picked it up, and took a sip.

"Just for this?"

"Making friends naturally involves more than just these."

Wen Qinsi laughed and said, "Lord Qin, as the Demon Suppression Commandant, you only have a small courtyard in town, and you don't even have a maid to feed you."

After learning about it, Wen tossed and turned, unable to sleep day and night.

"How can Lord Qin live in such a dilapidated place? I, Wen, have already prepared a mansion for you, which I will give to you free of charge."

As he spoke, a land deed was handed to Qin Yan.

"Free things often come at a much higher price."

Qin Yan glanced at it but did not accept it, instead asking, "Lord Wen, such a lavish gift, delivered with such great effort, makes me quite uneasy!"

"Lord Qin is too kind; it's just a simple gesture, but it's very heartfelt!"

As he spoke, Wen Qinsi clapped his hands, and several servants skilled in martial arts immediately carried two boxes into the room.

Open!

The chest was filled with golden light, so dazzling it was almost blinding!

Two boxes of gold!

One box costs at least five thousand taels!

A full ten thousand taels of gold! Qin Yan's eyes were filled with curiosity. "Such a generous gesture is truly unexpected."

Are you satisfied?

Wen Qinsi smiled smugly, "The person behind me thinks highly of you and is about to gain your friendship."

"Friendship? Let's try to win them over!"

Qin Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Such a grand gesture is truly astonishing."

I appreciate Lord Wen's kindness.

As for this thing, I am not worthy of it. I am just a Demon Suppression Commandant, good at killing some evil spirits.

I know nothing about anything else.

Upon hearing Qin Yan's refusal, Wen Qinsi's confident face froze for a moment, revealing a look of confusion.

"Lord Qin, are you dissatisfied with my gift?"

But it was worth a full 100,000 taels of silver, and countless officials who considered themselves noble and dignified were all swayed by his money offensive!

Why are the eyes of this teenage boy so calm?

Qin Yan slowly stood up and dusted off his clothes. "Gold and silver are certainly tempting, but the more valuable something is, the greater the price I will have to pay in the future."

Goodbye!

As he spoke, Qin Yan started to walk out, and that's when he saw the butler!

He has an ordinary appearance and would not stand out Central Capital a crowd.

His eyes were extremely deep, as if they could devour a person!

"Get out of the way!"

Qin Yan said coldly.

Snap!

A hand was already on the person's shoulder, intending to push them away, but found them as sturdy as a pine tree, standing there without moving an inch.

"Interesting!"

Qin Yan immediately smiled, and the force in his hand instantly increased.

The butler's expression changed instantly, and he looked at Qin Yan with a look of horror.

"Get out of my way!"

Qin Yan easily brushed it aside and calmly left the room.

Wen Qinsi was taken aback when she saw this scene.

"Brother Zhang Tuo, what's wrong with you?"

"Such strength." Zhang Tuo touched his shoulder, which was numb with pain, and said with a solemn expression, "This boy has superhuman strength by nature, and his reputation is well-deserved."

My physical body is no match for it. In terms of strength, there are probably only a handful of people in the entire Great Li Dynasty who can compare to it.

This is before he even reaches his peak; I can't even imagine how far he'll grow in the future!"

"The more this is the case, the more we must strive to bring them to our side!"

Wen Qinsi's tone was chilling. "If you can't have him, then destroy him."

If they can't become friends, he will never allow the other person to grow into his enemy.

"We must not act rashly; this person has probably caught the eye of the higher-ups in the Demon-Suppressing Bureau."

If it were to fall, it would inevitably cause a commotion, making the losses outweigh the gains.

Moreover, this kid is not easy to deal with.

Keep in mind that Red Star Daoist is in Azure Sun Abbey. Get to know him slowly and don't rush things.

Ideally, you should try to gain the other person's favor.

Zhang Tuo calmed down and analyzed the situation seriously.

Upon thinking of Red Star Daoist, Wen Qinsi immediately fell silent; he was a True Person.

His uncanny methods are so formidable that even experts of the same level would have to give him a wide berth.

Although the Demon-Suppressing Bureau is not well-known in the imperial court or the martial arts world, no one dares to ignore its terrifying power.

"This boy is extremely cautious; we must proceed with caution!"

Wen Qinsi took a sip of tea. "Fifty years ago, Immortal's Tomb was unearthed, and countless people fought over it."

A few days ago, someone even orchestrated a massive attack that nearly turned tens of thousands of lives to ashes.

Qinghe Town is indeed a good place; countless hidden forces are watching closely!

I wonder if I'll be able to acquire another Immortal's Tomb!

A chance to achieve immortality!
