"Sell these horses first and then go to the Demon Suppression Bureau. In the future, when you need to ride for missions, the Bureau will provide you with dedicated warhorses."
Under the guidance of the Reception Envoy, after selling the horses and walking a little further, they arrived at a place with a signboard that read "Demon Suppression Bureau".
Wei Fan looked up. The large characters of the Demon Suppression Bureau were magnificent and powerful, clearly crafted by a master, exuding an air of severity.
"I am the Reception Envoy, and these are the new recruits I brought back this ti!"
The Reception Envoy displayed a token before leading Wei Fan and the others inside.
"I’ll first take Hu Qing to the Preparatory Camp for onboarding, and then I’ll take you to the Combat Battalion!"
He led the way ahead.
The Demon Suppression Bureau is not a place just anyone can co to, so even though Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong were from Su City, this was their first ti entering this place.
"As soone from the Preparatory Camp, Hu Qing, until you beco official personnel, you can only stay within the Demon Suppression Bureau."
"Wei Fan, you can choose freely to live outside or within the Bureau. If you choose to live outside, you’ll need to buy a house yourself. If you stay within the Bureau, you’ll be provided with an individual courtyard."
Ning Xuan spoke up: "Brother Wei, how about we choose two adjacent houses and live here together? It will be more convenient for missions, and houses around the Bureau are quite expensive."
Wei Fan nodded, having no intention of living outside for now.
Moreover, if buying a house outside, it’s entirely feasible to live in both places.
Being on duty at the Demon Suppression Bureau is not like his previous routine in Yun City, going in the morning and coming back in the afternoon.
Previously, the Reception Envoy had ntioned that being on duty requires being on call 24 hours, making living outside quite inconvenient.
After walking a bit more, they arrived at the Preparatory Camp, where the Reception Envoy completed all the onboarding procedures for Hu Qing.
"You must co to see often!"
As they were about to part, Hu Qing finally showed a girlish deanor. No matter how fearless she was in Yun City, she was still a girl. In an unfamiliar place without many acquaintances, she hoped Wei Fan would visit often.
The Reception Envoy smiled and said, "Wei Fan, if you have nothing to do, you can often co to the Preparatory Camp. First, to see Hu Qing; second, there are many pretty girls in the Preparatory Camp. Most of the girls in the Combat Battalion have already been spoken for. You’re at an age to find yourself a woman."
Initially, he thought Wei Fan and Hu Qing were a couple and thought bringing Hu Qing to the Bureau would reassure Wei Fan.
But along the way, he realized that Wei Fan and Hu Qing were not like that; they seed more like good friends.
Hu Qing might have so feelings for Wei Fan, but Wei Fan seed uninterested in that aspect.
Ning Xuan and Wei Fan both brightened at this, and Wei Fan nodded, "Sure! I’ll visit you often!"
Hu Qing puffed her cheeks, glaring at the Reception Envoy and Wei Fan, "No need to co and see !"
With these words, she turned and left.
"You all..."
Su Xuerong also gave them a scolding look.
The Demon Suppression Bureau covered a vast area. After wandering around for quite a while, they still hadn’t seen it all. Yet the only impression Wei Fan had along the way was that there were very few people; they hardly saw anyone.
They walked with the Reception Envoy for a while longer, finally arriving at the grounds of the Combat Battalion.
"First, register and get your waist tokens and clothes, then we’ll assign your rooms and more!"
"By the way, have you decided under which Commander you want to be assigned?"
The Reception Envoy led the trio into a grand hall.
Ning Xuan said, "Xuerong and I plan to go under the Second Commander. Brother Wei, if you don’t mind, you can co to the Second Commander too. Many from Jianghu sects are under his command and can look out for us.
Moreover, the Second Commander originally erged from Jianghu, values loyalty, and doesn’t have as many rules as the other Commanders. I noticed you don’t like to be constrained, so the Second Commander would suit you well."
Wei Fan nodded, having already made up his mind.
The Bureau had previously introduced him to so information about the Three Great Commanders. Their cultivation was similar, and their official status didn’t differ. The only distinctions were their personalities and the martial arts they practiced.
Speaking of personality, the Third Commander is rather conservative and follows rules strictly, while the Second Commander values abilities and has the boldness of a Jianghu person.
The last Grand Commander is very domineering and assertive; when he says one, you shouldn’t say two.
"All going under the Second Commander? That’s good, too. You can look out for each other during missions. Honestly, in a place like the Demon Suppression Bureau, without a few life-and-death friendships, missions can easily cost you your life."
Before long, the trio received their clothes, waist tokens, and two Qi Gathering Pills each, which were packed in porcelain bottles. As for weapons, none of the three took any, as the weapons provided by the Bureau were not as good as the ones they had. For better ones, they needed rit points to exchange.
"If your clothes or weapons are damaged in the future, co here to exchange them."
"Within a day or two, soone will co to assign you to one of the Captains, which isn’t sothing I can decide."
"Now I’ll take you to familiarize yourself with the dining area and places to exchange rit points for secret manuals and elixirs, then take you to the courtyards assigned to you. The rest you’ll have to get to know on your own."
The Reception Envoy led them around for a while, helping them recognize the various functional places, and then they had a al at the dining hall.
After their al, as the sky darkened, they finally arrived at their living quarters.
Their houses were all lined up next to each other!
After not resting properly for several days while on the road, they greeted each other and then entered their respective rooms to sleep and rest.
...
After parting with Wei Fan and the others, the Reception Envoy did not return to his place to rest. Despite his fatigue, he walked on for a while and arrived at a magnificent courtyard.
Taking a deep breath, he approached and cupped his hands, saying, "Brothers, I am Zhou Tong the Reception Envoy. I have sothing to request of the Grand Commander; please report this for ."
The guard gave Zhou Tong a glance and said, "The Demon Fiends are causing unrest in the Cyan Cloud Mountain Range; the Grand Commander has gone to suppress them and hasn’t returned."
Zhou Tong couldn’t help but look disappointed.
He had co to find the Grand Commander to report about Wei Fan’s situation.
Horizontal Cultivation of Innate!
It’s been years since Su City had such a Martial Artist.
Of course, the reason he sought out the Grand Commander was that the Grand Commander himself was a Martial Artist who trained both internally and externally, much like Wei Fan.
If Wei Fan could beco a disciple under the Grand Commander, it would only bring benefits to both the Grand Commander and Wei Fan.
Even if Wei Fan didn’t intend to beco an apprentice, it needed to be reported to the Grand Commander to be handled accordingly.
For talents, even if they don’t beco disciples of a Commander, the Bureau offers resource inclination policies.
"Reception Envoy? What business do you have with my master?"
Just as Zhou Tong was feeling disappointed, a voice suddenly spoke behind him.
Turning around, he saw a tall young man who had sohow appeared behind him, exuding an intangible pressure.
Li Chuyang!
One of the Grand Commander’s disciples, also one of the most prestigious talents of this generation in the Demon Suppression Bureau.
