After a bout with Xu Qingtong, Ximen Wanyan became the Deputy Commander of the Garrison Camp.
"Ximen, I'll leave selecting personnel for the Garrison Camp to you. Remember, better to leave a vacancy than fill it with rubbish. The Garrison Camp has no room for mediocrities!"
Ximen Wanyan cupped his hands and said, "Boss, what sort of benefits does the Garrison Camp offer? What am I supposed to use to win them over?"
"What nonsense! We're responsible for the safety of the entire Academy. How could the benefits be poor?"
"Right! Got it. I'll go recruit some talent right away!" With that, Ximen Wanyan turned to leave, but Xu Qingtong stopped him.
"I have a Jade Slip here listing all the elite talents who've joined the Academy in recent years. How many you can recruit is up to you! We're cultured men, so appeal to their feelings and persuade them with reason! If the soft approach doesn't work, use the hard one!"
After sending Ximen Wanyan off, Xu Qingtong went over to Shen Haotian and said with a smile, "Sect Master, that lad Ximen really is talented. Given time, he'll surely become a pillar holding our Juxian Academy steady against the current!"
"Well? The Academy has been quite supportive of you, hasn't it? We gave your Garrison Camp our best talent!" Shen Haotian said proudly.
"Yes, Sect Master, but even feeding chickens takes a handful of rice! You heard what Ximen said just now. Actually... hey, hey, Sect Master, don't go! Let's talk some more!"
Without looking back, Shen Haotian hurried out of the Martial Arts Arena.
Xu Qingtong shook his head helplessly. He had dug a pit and jumped into it himself! Establishing the Garrison Camp had been his suggestion. He couldn't let it fall apart in his hands,
