Chen Miao swept his gaze over the others' expressions before finally resting it on Chen Wei.
Apart from Chen Wei, who remained as calm as ever, the others all wore varying degrees of the same amazement Chen Miao had felt moments earlier.
It seemed even these natives of Cangzhou Prefecture had been drawn in by the Demon-Suppressing Bureau's power.
But that wasn't right!
Although they had already joined the Demon-Suppressing Bureau, their ties to their families were actually far stronger than their ties to the bureau.
Besides, how long had they even been members?
Logically, hearing this information should have made them wary and put them on their guard.
They should have worried about their families' position, not yearned for the Demon-Suppressing Bureau's power!
Something was wrong with Ren You!
Was he brainwashing them?
But how was he doing it?
I clearly didn't sense any fluctuations in yin energy or soul power. Where did this brainwashing ability of his come from?
Chen Miao could not make sense of it, no matter how hard he thought.
Then Ren You began explaining the duties of a Demon-Suppressing Guard.
Chen Miao listened attentively as well, though this time he was more wary and alert.
But to his surprise, by the time he had heard everything, that feeling of yearning and reverence toward the Demon-Suppressing Bureau had returned.
It was as though the Demon-Suppressing Bureau was becoming something he would have to devote his entire future to.
The instant that thought arose, Chen Miao activated [Clearheart].
As though a basin of cold water had been poured over his head, Chen Miao instantly regained his clarity.
Looking at Ren You, then at the others, Chen Miao was now certain that Ren You was indeed using some kind of mystic art he could not comprehend.
