Recruitment Plan

Recruitment Plan

"So what made you come here?" Rota was rather curious about why the Sky Azure Bull Python had come.

The Sky Azure Bull Python gave Rota a look, clearly telling him to guess.

"Don't tell me that girl sent you here?" Rota immediately guessed it was Xiao Wu.

"You got it right. That girl kept asking me to check on you, afraid something might happen to you!" The Sky Azure Bull Python looked as though it was trying not to laugh.

"I see. That girl is quite thoughtful, but there's no need to worry about this old man's strength."

Xiao Wu's actions truly warmed Rota's heart. Though he would not be in any danger, what mattered was her thoughtfulness.

The Sky Azure Bull Python knew Kizaru's strength and had constantly told Xiao Wu to put her mind at ease. Unfortunately, Xiao Wu kept nagging in the Sky Azure Bull Python's ear, leaving it no choice but to make the trip personally.

"I knew you couldn't possibly be in trouble. I still have to go back and tell that girl! By the way, are you coming with me?" The Sky Azure Bull Python had only come to make a round of inspection at Xiao Wu's request.

"This old man still has some matters to handle, so you go on back first! And give that little lion a beating while you're at it~"

"No problem. The next time you come, he'll be completely obedient!"

Rota could already picture the Sky Azure Bull Python teaching the Blazing Sun Lion King a lesson. It seemed the Blazing Sun Lion King was in for some suffering.

The Sky Azure Bull Python soon left, its enormous body slowly moving away. Only then did the trio beside them, who had barely dared to breathe, finally let out relieved sighs.

Reid had never seen a soul beast with such terrifying pressure before. Its strength had to be immensely frightening. Yet what shocked Reid and the other two most was not the Sky Azure Bull Python, but Rota, who had chatted and laughed with it so casually.

This Spirit Hall elder was something else. To speak so calmly with such a powerful soul beast, one had to either be a fool or incredibly strong. Clearly, Rota was the latter.

Today, Reid's eyes had truly been opened. In his lifetime, he had encountered such a formidable figure beyond all comprehension.

"I, Reid, have not lived this life in vain. Meeting you is truly our good fortune!" Reid's admiration for Rota was absolute. He very much wanted to ask whether Rota needed a leg accessory.

Wind Concealment and Jin Ling were much calmer. First, because of their personalities, and second, because their martial souls were mainly for support, so they did not have much desire to compete with others.

"Wind Concealment thanks Elder Kizaru for saving my life!"

"Jin Ling thanks Elder Kizaru for saving my life!"

Wind Concealment and Jin Ling respectfully bowed to Rota to express their gratitude.

Rota did not really care much for such formalities, but he could tell that both Wind Concealment and Jin Ling had excellent manners.

"There's no need for so much formality before this old man. It's fine to relax a little." Rota could see that they were still somewhat nervous around him, though that was perfectly normal.

Could an ordinary soul master avoid feeling excited and nervous upon meeting a distinguished Spirit Hall elder?

Wind Concealment took a deep breath. Elder Kizaru seemed different from other people of high status—much more approachable.

"Elder Kizaru, you saved us, but we don't know how to repay you. If there is anything you need our help with, we will not refuse."

Reid and Jin Ling nodded as well, looking at Rota. Rota had saved their lives, which was equivalent to giving them a second life. This was no small debt of gratitude.

This was exactly what Rota had been waiting for. He slowly said, "Actually, this old man followed you all the way here and observed your personalities as well. I found that you fit this old man's selection criteria very well~"

Hearing Rota's words, Wind Concealment and the other two were somewhat confused. What was going on? Could Elder Kizaru be planning to recruit them into Spirit Hall?

"May I ask, Elder Kizaru, are you recruiting us into Spirit Hall?"

Rota liked talking to smart people. Wind Concealment's answer was already more than half right.

"You really are clever. You guessed this old man's purpose right away~ But it isn't Spirit Hall. This old man intends to establish a new organization."

"A new organization?" Wind Concealment and the other two were all curious about what exactly Rota intended to do.

By all reason, Elder Kizaru belonged to Spirit Hall, so why did he want to establish another organization? As expected, they could not fathom the thinking of a major figure.

Wind Concealment and the other two were very curious about what kind of organization Rota intended to build. At this point, they no longer cared about his purpose in establishing it. Following a major figure was all that mattered.

"The organization this old man intends to establish is related to money. This old man plans to create a massive financial group. Are you willing to work for this old man?"

Without a moment's hesitation, the three agreed to Rota's request.

Rota was somewhat surprised that they had agreed so readily, but that was good. It saved him a great deal of trouble.

"This old man thought you would need some time to consider it."

"Elder Kizaru, you are our lifesaver. We will certainly obey your orders." Wind Concealment felt there was no downside to it. Moreover, Elder Kizaru was immensely powerful; while helping him, they could also live more comfortably themselves.

There was no question that Jin Ling would stay with Wind Concealment. That only left Reid, whose background was somewhat complicated.

"Elder Kizaru, I am the captain of the Star Luo Empire Soul Hunting Team. After what happened this time, I have come to understand certain things, so I will join as well."

Besides Rota's life-saving grace, Reid made this decision because he had seen clearly the warmth and coldness of human relationships and learned who were the true friends worth befriending deeply.

"Then how do you plan to handle things on the Star Luo Empire's side?" Wind Concealment asked.

"As for that, I will continue serving as the captain of the Soul Hunting Team. That way, I can bring some members into the organization and also make cooperation between the organization and the Star Luo Empire more convenient." Reid laid out his thoughts.

"Not a bad idea, but remember—this time, you must choose team members with proper character." Wind Concealment offered a reminder.

"Of course. I, Reid, will not stumble in the same place twice." Just thinking of the team members he had led made Reid angry. They had run away the moment they encountered danger.

"Wind Concealment is right! Everyone's overall qualities must meet the standard. They should flourish in morality, intelligence, physique, aesthetics, and labor... no, they should develop in all aspects~" Rota greatly approved of Wind Concealment's view.

Originally, Rota had thought he would need to offer them some guidance before they noticed this issue. Unexpectedly, Wind Concealment had already realized it.

A fall into the pit, a gain in wit. Having gone through this incident, they had also learned a great deal. Only by experiencing things personally could one understand them deeply.

The Life Forbidden Zone was not a suitable place for conversation. They could discuss what came next after leaving.

"This old man will take you out first. This is not a good place to talk."

"Then we should proceed using the same method as when we came in. I'll provide cover for everyone," Wind Concealment suggested.

Rota waved a hand. "There's no need to make things so troublesome. This old man can take you out very quickly~"

"Elder Kizaru, we know you are very strong, but shouldn't we be more cautious?" Wind Concealment had witnessed Rota's strength, but the Star Dou Great Forest was not a place one could casually leave quickly.

"There's no problem. This old man has not come to this place for the first time~"

Hearing Rota's words, Wind Concealment and the other two felt that Elder Kizaru might possess many other terrifying aspects unknown to them.

It was not Elder Kizaru's first time entering the Life Forbidden Zone within the Star Dou Great Forest. That news was truly explosive.
