Lin Bai Joins!
When Ruan Jinhui heard this, delight immediately appeared on his face. He asked, "Since Miss Jian Ruohan recommended you as a friend, you must be extraordinary. Is this the young man beside you?"
Ruan Jinhui looked rather amiable, and his words were exceptionally courteous.
The Lu Rui standing nearby, however, looked somewhat hostile. He muttered inwardly, What relationship does this person have with Junior Sister Jian Ruohan? She's standing so close to him—they're practically pressed flesh to flesh.
"If you want to join the escort team, just anyone can't join. At the very least, you need to have fourth-stage martial intent," Lu Rui said coldly, sizing Lin Bai up from head to toe.
No matter how Lu Rui looked at him, Lin Bai didn't seem like someone who possessed fourth-stage martial intent.
Lin Bai froze and looked at Lu Rui. From the moment he had appeared until now, every one of Lu Rui's words had been barbed, as though he harbored some hostility toward Lin Bai.
Yet Lin Bai couldn't recall where he had offended this man.
Jian Ruohan answered, "His martial intent has already reached the fourth stage."
"Hahaha, fourth-stage martial intent is enough. Then there's no problem—you can enter the escort team. May I ask this Junior Brother's name?" Ruan Jinhui asked with a very polite smile.
Lin Bai stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said, "I'm Lin Bai, a disciple of the Sword Dao Institute. Greetings, Senior Brother Ruan of the Formation Dao Institute!"
Ruan Jinhui clasped his fists and smiled. "So it's Junior Brother Lin Bai. I've long heard of you. Junior Sister Jian Ruohan has already explained the matter to you, hasn't she? As guards for the alliance, every martial artist in the escort team can obtain one hundred level-three spirit crystals."
