Chapter 418 - 416: Recruitment
"As for the other cultivator, I only know that his name is ’Xiao Yan’, and I’ve heard he’s skilled in alchemy."
"But I don’t know much more about him."
Compared to Zhenyuan, Xiao Yan is obviously more mysterious.
Not to mention Master Wu, even the Religious Affairs Bureau, which has interacted with him multiple times, doesn’t really understand Xiao Yan’s background.
"Oh right..."
Master Wu suddenly thought of something and quickly added, "I heard that the first place where that girl in the red dress appeared wasn’t actually in Minma."
"It was in a small town under the jurisdiction of Yunzhong City in the Diannan Province of our country, called ’Taiping Town’!"
"Then why did she suddenly run off to Minma?"
Tie Xiong couldn’t help but ask in confusion after hearing this.
"The girl in the red dress was accidentally unearthed during a grave relocation."
"She then woke up and drank the blood of several living people on the spot."
"However, at that time, the cultivator named ’Xiao Yan’ happened to be passing through Taiping Town, saw the girl in the red dress committing violence, and fought with her."
"The girl in the red dress was no match for Xiao Yan and was driven by him from the country to Minma..."
Master Wu briefly recounted what he knew of the situation.
After listening, Tie Xiong was somewhat dumbfounded.
Goodness gracious!
That old Daoist named ’Zhenyuan’ just now was already incredibly powerful.
Not only could he foresee everything, but he could also summon celestial thunder with talismans.
And now this Xiao Yan is even more ridiculously strong!
In his eyes, the nearly invincible ’Blood Spirit Master’ was driven out of the country to Minma as if beaten like a dog by this opponent.
Tie Xiong thought to himself that he should avoid these two people as much as possible in the future!
Just as Master Wu was about to continue speaking, his phone suddenly rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Ms. Li calling again.
This puzzled him a bit, as they had agreed that the Religious Affairs Bureau would call after their people arrived.
So why were they calling again just after two or three hours?
"Hey, I thought you would..."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard the caller say, "We’re already outside the gate, open up!"
After saying this, the caller promptly hung up the phone.
They arrived so quickly?
Master Wu was somewhat incredulous.
But on second thought, if he were a leader at the Religious Affairs Bureau, he might also be eager to meet Tie Xiong.
With this in mind, he turned to look at Tie Xiong and smiled, "Master Tie, speak of the devil, and they shall appear!"
"The people from the Religious Affairs Bureau are here; they’re waiting at the gate."
"Let’s go meet them together!"
Tie Xiong didn’t say anything, just nodded lightly in agreement.
The two of them one after the other walked out of the study and came to the mansion’s gate.
As the gate slowly opened, a black car drove in.
After the car stopped, three people got out.
Tie Xiong recognized the driver; it was Ms. Li, whom he had met before.
The remaining two were a man in his fifties, smiling as he observed him.
And the other was in his thirties, also smiling, but his gaze was much more proper.
"Mr. Tie, hello!"
"I’m the current director of the Religious Affairs Bureau, my surname is He!"
The visitors were Director He and Director Li.
Director He looked Tie Xiong up and down and introduced himself with a smile.
"Director He, nice to meet you too!"
It was Tie Xiong’s first time meeting such a high-ranking leader, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy.
"Director He, this isn’t the place to talk, shall we go to the study to discuss?"
Master Wu invited.
Director He nodded and followed Master Wu with everyone back to the study.
"Mr. Tie, to be honest, my purpose in coming to Koukang is to invite you to join our Religious Affairs Bureau!"
Director He had reviewed the data on this Master Tie.
The data showed that Tie Xiong was a simple and pure person.
So he got straight to the point without beating around the bush.
"I appreciate Director He and the country’s trust in me."
"I’m very willing to join the Religious Affairs Bureau and serve our country!"
Hearing from Master Wu that the Religious Affairs Bureau intended to recruit and absorb him, Tie Xiong had already made up his mind.
Because in his view, becoming part of the country was the only way to ensure a more stable future for him and his daughter.
He didn’t want to be separated from his daughter again, with one of them adventuring in Minma or elsewhere in Southeast Asia.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Director He was a bit overwhelmed that Tie Xiong agreed so quickly and repeatedly said "good."
Sitting beside him, Director Li was almost in tears.
What is mutual pursuit?
This is mutual pursuit!
In the end, our own people in Dragon Country are reliable, recruited with just one sentence.
Unlike Xiao Yan, who even acknowledging you would be considered a blessing.
After Tie Xiong agreed to be absorbed by the Religious Affairs Bureau, the atmosphere in the study became much more harmonious and relaxed.
Director He’s smile became increasingly pleasant.
He slowly spoke, "Mr. Tie, I plan to establish a special task force within the Religious Affairs Bureau."
"And you will serve as the leader of this group."
"As for the compensation, we will certainly satisfy you, Mr. Tie..."
After being promoted to the position of director, Director He immediately disbanded the emergency response team set up by the previous director.
He saw this emergency response team as a joke.
No member of the team could get the job done, and they even dared to provoke cultivators like Zhenyuan.
Such behavior was undoubtedly courting disaster!
The most direct manifestation was that Group Leader Qi offended Xiao Yan, making the Alchemy Master very displeased, and he was unwilling to further communicate and cooperate with the Religious Affairs Bureau.
At the same time, fortunately, Zhenyuan’s mild nature did not take offense at these people’s actions.
Otherwise, offending two cultivators in a row, where would they go to put out the fire if another extraordinary incident arose?
In his vision, any extraordinary event must be handled by extraordinary individuals.
Now that Tie Xiong has been successfully recruited, his plan can be fully realized.
With the Religious Affairs Bureau taking the lead, a special task force can be formed, specifically responsible for those extraordinary events.
As Director He expressed his vision, Tie Xiong nodded in agreement.
"Director He, I very much agree with your view!"
Tie Xiong, having lived as an ordinary worker for over forty years, naturally understood the drawbacks and dangers of having the unqualified lead the qualified.
While his personality might not necessarily lead to conflicts with upper management,
but having someone unqualified command you is certainly hard to swallow.
"Mr. Tie, I wonder if I could see your extraordinary ability?"
After a pleasant conversation, both parties were even more engaged.
At this moment, Director He also made a personal request...
