RPAGF Chapter 425 Recruitment
Chapter 425 Recruitment
Early in the morning, at the Shenlong Empire Square, many monks were already gathered in groups of three or four, waiting.
Two teams of monks simultaneously rushed towards the east gate. Everyone else in the square looked over.
"One team is a rank 3 monk? The other team is a rank 2 monk. Are they going to kill the ancient leader or the ancient commander?" From the equipment strength of these two teams of monks, one can roughly guess what kind of monster they are going to fight.
"It could also be an ancient tree demon or an ancient war god," another person said. It's definitely not an ancient general. They knew the general's spawn time.
"Do you want to go over and take a look?" asked the third younger person.
"We are no match for them, don't go."
"Can't I just watch from a distance?"
"No! The enemy is a second- or third-rank cultivator. One skill can knock us down! Curiosity kills the cat. Brother, I warn you once again. Before we reincarnate, you must be extremely cautious! Don't cause trouble. Especially not against masters above the third rank!"
"Big brother is right! Little brother, it's good enough for us to protect the ancient warrior."
"Oh, I see." The young man was a little unhappy. He stopped looking outside the city and looked towards the center of the square. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he raised his hand and pointed.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, look! Are those two... Rank 5 advanced cultivators?"
"Put your hands down! Speak softly, don't talk... Luckily, they didn't notice you. They walked away. Next time, little brother, don't point your finger at others carelessly. It's very rude and may even cause disaster! Let me tell you, those two just now were rank 6 masters!"
“Sixth turn!!”
"Yes. He can kill a Rank 3 cultivator instantly with just one skill. He's a true master!"

Brooke was eager to return home. He had the family return scroll, but Yuan Bufan didn't. Yuan Bufan wanted to go with him to the Wenren family, so the two of them walked back together.
Brooke walked quickly.
"Captain, the Ximen family is next to us." Yuan Bufan reminded as he passed by the Ximen family's door.
"Well, I know."
"The package that Boss Ximen entrusted me with, as well as my set of lunar zodiac signs, must also be returned to Ximen Wudi."
"No rush, later."
The two of them jogged all the way and soon arrived at the door of the Wenren family.
"Oh my! I was saying that today's morning light was particularly golden and shining, with a large auspicious cloud swirling overhead and the magpies chirping in the yard. It turns out that Master Brook is back! Master, are you... 6th level?!" Xu Chang, Ye Huan and other four first-level cultivators who were responsible for welcoming guests at the family gate were shocked when they saw Brook.
When Brook left, he was at Rank 4. In just two months, he had already reached Rank 2. In the history of the Wenren family, no one had ever been heard of anyone being promoted so quickly!
"Brother Xu, Brother Ye, Brother Liu, Brother Zeng, good morning! Oh, this Brother Yuan Bufan is my friend. We need to see the Second Young Lady for something."
"So it's Senior Yuan Bufan in person! We've long heard of your name! Nice to meet you! At this hour, the Second Young Miss is already working in the study in the main courtyard. Master Brook, Senior Yuan, please come in!"
Xu Chang and Ye Huan politely invited the two in, while notifying the steward of the main courtyard, who then reported to Wenren Muyue.
"Second Miss, someone came to the front door to report that Master Brook has returned! I heard that he has reached the 6th level, and he is accompanied by Yuan Bufan, a 6th level casual cultivator. He said he wants to see you for something."
Wenren Muxue paused with the pen she had picked up, then quickly signed a few words on the account book.
"Got it! Have the managers waiting outside go to the back hall for tea first, and I'll continue after I've met Brooke."
"Yes, Second Miss." The steward of the main courtyard retreated.
The servants in the front yard of the Wenren family were already busy sweeping. When they saw Brooke, they all stopped their work, stepped aside and bowed to greet him. Brooke nodded and smiled in response, then led Yuan Bufan into the main courtyard.
Yuan Bufan watched in amazement. These people all called Brooke "Young Master." A guest official, even a high-ranking one, couldn't possibly hold such a high position. Suddenly remembering the love poem Wenren Muyue had written to Brooke, he suddenly understood. It seemed like it wouldn't be long before they would all switch to calling him "son-in-law."
The two entered the hall. A servant had been waiting for a long time, leading them into the study at the back, then bowed and retreated.
"Muxue, long time no see!"
"Brook, you really have reached the 6th level! I guessed that you would make rapid progress, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. Now, you have completely surpassed me." Wenren Muxue praised with a sour tone.
Thinking back to when they first met in the Dragon Slayer Hall on the tenth floor of the Illusionary Realm, she was at level 10, and Brook was just a novice at level 4. In the blink of an eye, Brook had already run ahead of her.
"I was lucky enough to kill a few more monsters in there and get some reincarnation pills. I brought some for you, so you can reach the 6th level soon. Let me introduce you to Yuan Bufan, a 6th level mage. He is a friend I met in the Warcraft battlefield. He wants to join the Wenren family and become a guest official."
"Senior Yuan Bufan, a rank 6 casual cultivator, has long been renowned. As far as I know, both the Murong and Duanmu families have offered you invitations, but you've declined. I never thought you'd actually be willing to join our Wenren family. It's truly an honor!" Wenren Muxue offered compliments, but in reality, she was questioning Yuan Bufan's reason for joining the Wenren family. She stared closely at Yuan Bufan, unfazed by his superior strength.
"Miss Mu Xue is such a quick-witted person! Okay, I'll tell you straight. Brook is my captain! From now on, I only want him to be my captain. Wherever he goes, I will go. I chose to join the Wenren family because of him." Yuan Bufan said directly.
Yuan Bufan was telling the truth, Wenren Muxue could see it.
He said that Brook was his captain. Obviously, when the two of them were in the Warcraft battlefield, Brook was the captain and seemed to be commanding well.
But he said he only recognized Brook as the captain? What did he mean? After joining the family, he only listened to Brook?
Wenren Muxue looked at Brooke.
"Hey~Brother Yuan, although you are already level 176, although you have saved up 10 7-turn pills, and although you have saved more than 20 gold coins to go to Wolong Villa to bid for a copy of "Mad Thunder and Purple Lightning". But you have to understand that as a guest of the family, even a high-level guest, you have the obligation to complete the tasks issued by the family. These matters are decided by Miss Mu Xue, and I have to listen to her. For example, if you are asked to follow a low-level member of the family and need you to protect him, are you willing?" Brooke revealed a lot of information in just a few words.
Wenren Muxue was shocked! Yuan Bufan had been a Rank 6 cultivator for many years, rumored to be already level 168, quite famous among the casual cultivators. She knew that. But now he was level 176, and had accumulated ten Rank 10 pills?! Wasn't Brooke telling her that Yuan Bufan would soon reach Rank 7?
Rank 6 and Rank 7 are two completely different concepts. Any Rank 7 master will be vying for by the aristocratic families!
"Of course. I will complete the tasks assigned by the family seriously. I just hope that after joining the family, Miss Mu Xue will not assign me too many trivial tasks and try to give me freedom as much as possible." Yuan Bufan said.
"Okay! Senior Yuan, my Wenren family agrees to your request." Wenren Muxue turned around and looked for a while, then came back and handed over a black token.
"Senior, this is the Wenren Family's top-ranking guest token. With this token, you can move freely in the front yard, advance 1 yuan of treasure from the family warehouse, and attend important family meetings. Senior, please feel free to stay with the Wenren Family. Unless it's a major matter, we won't bother you with anything."
Brown, blue, black, and white—the Wenren Family's guest officials have four different tokens, ranging from common to highest. Black is already the highest rank among the senior guest officials. As for white, it can only be granted after outstanding service to the family. Strength and rank alone are not enough. Black is the highest-ranking token Wenren Muxue can currently offer, a token of deep sincerity.
The Wenren family currently only has one rank 7 expert, Wenren Tianxiang. Yuan Bufan, who Brook brought back, must be recruited!
"Thank you, Miss Mu Xue. I hope we can have pleasant cooperation in the future!" Yuan Bufan took the black token with satisfaction.
"Mu Xue, Brother Yuan was up all night killing monsters last night and didn't sleep at all." Brook said. Last night, while hunting the Sword Master, Yuan Bufan and Ximen Kongmie were woken up by Brook in the middle of the night and didn't sleep for the rest of the night.
"Manager Li, take Senior Yuan Bufan to choose a room in the upper room. It should be a separate courtyard, quiet and peaceful."
"Yes, Second Miss. Senior Yuan, please follow me."
"Brother Yuan, have a good rest."
The chief steward personally took Yuan Bufan out.
"Brook, let me ask you. Yuan Bufan is so easy to talk to, are his 10 7th-turn pills all related to you?" Wenren Muxue said.
"Haha, you really can't hide anything from me. He and I got the 7th rank pill together."
"Just the two of you?"
"Not only that, there is also a 7th-level Ximen Kongmie."
"Ximen Kongmie?! You actually teamed him up! What's going on? Tell me about it!"
"At that time, the team needed a rank 7 expert, and I only knew Ximen Kongmie, so I had to find him to form a team. It happened that he also wanted to make meritorious deeds to atone for his sins, so we tried to cooperate. Under my command, we killed everyone on the battlefield, dropped a lot of items, and made many contributions. Yuan Bufan and Ximen Kongmie were quite satisfied, so Ximen Wudi was released early. It's that simple." Brook explained.
"No wonder. A few days ago, on my birthday, Ximen Wudi came over personally to give me a gift, said a lot of nice things, and even said that the two families wanted to reconcile. I was wondering, it turned out to be because of you."
"Oh~ It was your birthday a while ago? Congratulations!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Yuan Bufan has already obtained 10 7th rank pills. As the captain, you must have made a fortune too, right?"
"Hehe, I knew you'd set your sights on me. I've already prepared it. This is what I'm going to hand over. Take a look!"
Brook handed over the prepared package. Wenren Muxue opened it and saw all sorts of equipment, crystals, gems, nearly a hundred reincarnation pills, more than ten second- and third-level medals, more than twenty shields, four dominant shields, and finally, two ordinary warrior-use Primordial Heaven-Swallowing Shields, and two first-level costumes.
Even though Wenren Muxue was knowledgeable and experienced, he couldn't help but smile happily and exclaimed:
"So much! The total value is over two million! And they are all wonderful things that money can't buy! Since you are so generous, I will not refuse them. Thank you very much!"
"Haha, you're welcome." Actually, what Brooke gave to the Wenren family was only a small portion of the harvest. He kept the real good stuff for himself.
Now that the small things are done, it’s time to get down to business.
"Um... Bayin is resting in Muyue Courtyard?"
"How do you know? Yes, ever since Bayin came, the two of them have been inseparable. They fight monsters together and rest together. They didn't come back until after 3 a.m. yesterday, so they should be waking up soon."
Brooke knew, of course; he had checked with his detection necklace as soon as he got back. It was just that he felt embarrassed to barge into the girls' yard so early in the morning, so he had no choice but to bring Yuan Bufan to find Wenren Muxue first.
"Bayin has made rapid progress and is already at level 105, the third level. His upgrade speed is even faster than yours. However, he has encountered some troubles in the past two days." Wenren Muxue said.
"Oh? What's wrong?"
"Although I gave Bayin a level 6 veil and she was usually very careful, her teleportation ring was still discovered."
