Invitation

After Zhengyang Martial Arts School arranged for someone to report Li Yuan's situation to the Special Capture Division, everyone in the division knew about it, and even the Young Commander was alarmed.

Chu Han had a deep impression of Li Yuan. Li Yuan had first shone brightly during the Changgan expedition, and then he personally came to the division to submit a martial art he had created himself. Such talent was not something everyone possessed.

Not many days later, this young disciple of Zhengyang Martial Arts School had actually broken through to the True Qi Realm!

This greatly shocked Chu Han!

At that very moment, Chu Han had the idea of recruiting Li Yuan into the Special Capture Division.

However, it was not easy to join the Special Capture Division. One needed to undergo multiple assessments before being admitted.

Therefore, Chu Han immediately arranged for someone to secretly investigate Li Yuan's background. After several days of meticulous investigation, all documents related to Li Yuan were placed on Chu Han's desk.

After reviewing all these documents, Chu Han gained a thorough understanding of Li Yuan, and Li Yuan's past made Chu Han sigh with emotion.

He came from a merchant family, his parents had passed away, and he had struggled alone in Jiujiang Commandery.

Without the protection or support of a family, he relied solely on his own efforts, bravely forging ahead, and achieving the True Qi Realm!

Self-improvement and perseverance!!!

Chu Han instantly thought of these four words!

His evaluation of Li Yuan became even higher. The Special Capture Division's investigation confirmed that Li Yuan's background was clean and upright. Chu Han felt a sense of cherishing talent and personally paid him a visit.

"Li Yuan, have you ever thought about joining the Special Capture Division?"

"Join the Special Capture Division?"

Li Yuan was stunned. Why were even the Special Capture Division trying to recruit him?

Moreover, it was the Young Commander himself who came to recruit him. Was he that important now?

Seeing Li Yuan's bewildered expression, Chu Han chuckled, "I believe you have some understanding of our Special Capture Division. As the largest organization in our Xiang Kingdom, the Special Capture Division possesses power that ordinary people cannot imagine."

"Join the Special Capture Division, and you will gain better resources. Martial arts, Rune Artifacts, Spirit Talismans, and various other resources – whatever you desire, we have it."

Li Yuan seemed a little confused, "The things you mentioned, I can already go to the Stone Tower to exchange for them now."

Chu Han nodded, not denying Li Yuan's statement. "Indeed, you can currently accept missions from the Special Capture Division, earn contribution points, and use these points to exchange for items in the Stone Tower. However, the items in the Stone Tower are just so-so."

"The truly good items are not placed there."

"Some precious resources are scarce and in high demand. We only open them to internal personnel."

"There are some things that even non-Special Capture Division members cannot obtain, even with enough contribution points."

Li Yuan fell silent. He really needed resources.

If nothing else, he desperately needed martial arts cultivation methods.

His [Divine Wisdom] talent was very strong, but without martial arts cultivation methods, it was useless. A clever woman cannot cook without rice; it would be a waste of his [Divine Wisdom] talent.

Seeing Li Yuan's silence, Chu Han knew he had hit the mark. He continued to persuade him, "You and Qi Zhengyang are both in the True Qi Realm. How much more help can Zhengyang Martial Arts School provide you? The martial arts school is like a dragon trapped in shallow waters for you."

"You shouldn't be confined here; you will break free sooner or later."

Did he need martial arts cultivation methods?

Of course.

He desperately needed them.

But if it meant pushing Qi Zhengyang aside, Li Yuan knew he couldn't do that.

Although Li Yuan was very tempted by Chu Han's invitation, he still maintained his stance, "Young Commander, thank you for your kind offer, but I am the deputy head of Zhengyang Martial Arts School, and I will not leave the school."

These words were spoken with composure. Since he had said them, there was nothing to regret. Li Yuan felt a sense of relief.

As for the matter of cultivation methods, he would find a way later.

Chu Han, sitting opposite him, was stunned for a moment. He realized there seemed to be some misunderstanding between them. "I never said you had to leave Zhengyang Martial Arts School."

Li Yuan: ???

Chu Han continued to explain, "As long as you accept my invitation, you will be a member of the Special Capture Division and also the deputy head of Zhengyang Martial Arts School. These two roles do not conflict; you don't have to leave the school."

Li Yuan was taken aback, "It can be like this?"

Chu Han said matter-of-factly, "Of course."

"Although the Special Capture Division is the official organization of our Xiang Kingdom, its structure is not as rigid as you might imagine."

"You know about Spirit Masters, right? They don't even have proper positions in the Special Capture Division; they all consider themselves as guest elders."

After the explanation, Li Yuan understood the details.

He had risen too quickly, achieving the True Essence Realm in a very short period. However, some of his knowledge had not kept pace. He was still unclear about many things that other True Essence Realm cultivators knew, such as the internal workings of the Special Capture Division. This had led to a misunderstanding just now.

Li Yuan took a sip of tea and said with sudden realization, "I understand. It's like having a foot in two boats."

Chu Han almost dropped his cup. What did he mean by "having a foot in two boats"? Although it was a very vivid description, could he refrain from saying such things in front of the Young Commander?

"Cough, cough, cough. Your understanding is not wrong."

"So, what is your decision? Are you going to join the Special Capture Division?"

Li Yuan looked at Chu Han and said solemnly, "I need to discuss this with the Headmaster."

Chu Han smiled and nodded slowly, "That is only right."

Li Yuan hadn't immediately accepted his invitation, even refusing him. This didn't displease Chu Han; on the contrary, it made him think more highly of Li Yuan. The young man had his own principles and didn't forget his roots – a rare quality that also spoke to his reliability.

After a brief conversation with Li Yuan, Chu Han departed.

Soon, Li Yuan also arrived to meet Qi Zhengyang and informed the old馆主 about the Special Capture Division's invitation.

The Special Capture Division was a good place, far superior to his Zhengyang Martial Arts School. Qi Zhengyang fully supported Li Yuan having better development opportunities.

Furthermore, Li Yuan wouldn't be leaving the martial arts school; he would be joining as the vice-head of Zhengyang Martial Arts School, which was also a good thing for the school.

A branch of the martial arts school would extend into the Special Capture Division. Whenever the Zhengyang Martial Arts School was mentioned in the future, people would recall its vice-head who had joined the Special Capture Division. The school would gain greater influence and numerous benefits from this.

No matter how he looked at it, the matter was beneficial and harmless, so Qi Zhengyang had even less reason to object.

"Li Yuan, you must remember, even if you join the Special Capture Division, you are still a member of this martial arts school. If you encounter any difficulties, the school will always be your strongest backing."

Li Yuan nodded slowly and said solemnly, "Headmaster, I will not disappoint you."

Soon, Li Yuan had made all the necessary arrangements and arrived at the Special Capture Division to meet Chu Han.

Seeing Li Yuan arrive, Chu Han was very pleased.

"Excellent, Li Yuan. Starting today, you are a member of my Special Capture Division."

"Don't worry, you won't regret today's decision."
