Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 584 – Recruitment

With An Zheng’s hateful personality, if he saw a destitute old man like Ye Changkong being bullied, he would definitely take care of it. But he didn’t. He just stood there and watched. Ye Changkong looked at An Zheng when he was being hit, begging in his eyes, but An Zheng still did not move.

After a few minutes of fighting, a steward came out from the City Lord’s Mansion and scolded him. The bailiffs stood aside obediently, not even daring to speak a word. The person in charge said a few words before waving his hand to allow the few bailiffs to leave. After that, he personally helped Ye Changkong up, took out a silver note from his sleeve and stuffed it into Ye Changkong’s hands. Then, he said a few words to him.

Ye Changkong thanked him a million times and left. The monkey nimbly climbed onto his shoulder.

An Zheng said a little desolately as he heard Ye Changkong: “Monkey, you didn’t help even when you saw me getting bullied, and you’re even watching from the side. Even if I let you down and grabbed you off the mountain, wouldn’t it be equal if you grabbed my face? ”

The monkey squeaked a few times, but he didn’t know what it meant.

Not knowing why, An Zheng noticed that whenever the monkey looked at him, its eyes would always have a little bit of fierceness.

An Zheng acted likourist and walked around the City Lord’s Mansion, buying some delicious food to share with Lan Xi and the others. Those few girls were laughing like flowers were trembling, perhaps it was their first time seeing a customer like An Zheng, so they found it fun.

“Why are you laughing?”

An Zheng could not help but ask the laughing Lan Xi.

Lan Xi smiled and said, “This is the first time I’ve seen such an interesting guest. He’s handsome and suave, but he seems to be especially afraid of the relationship between a man and a woman. You don’t know, when young master first came in, even I felt that young master must have been an important person, a cultivator. But Young Master’s performance just now was really shameful. ”

An Zheng: “You’re not allowed to laugh.”

Lan Xi said, “Oh, oh, hehe …”

An Zheng shook his head helplessly: “Just now, when I was going down, I noticed a notice pasted on top of the City Lord’s Mansion, does the City Lord’s Mansion seem to be recruiting people?”

A little girl squatted down beside An Zheng and massaged his legs, she raised her head and said: “I know about this, I know about this... It was said that the situation had not been peaceful recently. No one knew where these demon beasts had come from or where they had harmed so many people. Wherever the demonic beast went, there was nothing more that could stop the flood. The mayor sent several groups of people out, but they couldn’t find where the demon beast was. Recently, the western border has not been peaceful either. The Buddhist side also seems to have some movements. The City Lord’s Mansion does not have enough manpower, it seems like they are going to recruit cultivators. ”

Lan Xi replied, “Although the reward is not low, Young Master …” “No matter how you look at it, you don’t look like the kind of person who would seek those rewards.”

An Zheng laughed: “Do you believe that beast?”

Lan Xi’s eyes shone. “Young master is really a cultivator?”

An Zheng did not comment, he stood up and said: “Prepare a few small dishes, I will rest for a while, tomorrow morning I will go to the City Lord’s Mansion to try my luck. Although I am powerless, what if I am lucky and choose. ”

Lan Xi pursed her lips. “Such a dishonest young master. Your muscles are as hard as stone, and yet you say that you are powerless.”

The young lady who accompanied An Zheng to bathe was called Hong Luan. He pursed his lips and laughed: “You misunderstood me, Young Master. Gongzi’s … “It’s so big, I can’t even hold it up.”

Lan Xi was stunned for a moment before slapping the Red Luan on the shoulder. “You scoundrel.”

Red Luan: “It seems like you’re not the same. Neither of us should say who’s the better one.”

An Zheng shook his head in silence.

Maybe it was because they felt that An Zheng was someone with an amiable personality, they could let him go. He would not dare to be so impudent if he were to meet other guests.

That night, An Zheng had to prepare countless of defenses in order to successfully defend against Lan Xi and the other young girls’ attacks that burrowed into his bed. Those few girls were only used to it in the beginning, but after they got used to it and fought with An Zheng for fun, they became tired and fell asleep on An Zheng’s bed.

An Zheng saw that they had all fallen asleep and avoided their soundly sleeping bodies. He walked over to the window and looked out at the enchanting night scene. After a moment of silence, An Zheng sat cross legged at the window and began to cultivate.

To cultivators, time was more precious than ordinary people.

When the day came, An Zheng had already showered and changed his clothes, all to prevent himself from feeling as awkward as yesterday. Lan Xi was the first to wake up. Whenhe saw An Zheng, she couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, and then chuckled as he reached out his hand to rub his face.

An Zheng glared at her pretentiously, but did not have the slightest bit of power.

Lan Xi got up, first went to wash her hands and wash her face. Then, she came over to help An Zheng tidy his clothes, while muttering to herself, “Foerson like you, staying here for a few days to enjoy yourself is nothing bad. Even if you’re a cultivator, that demon beast is terrifying. What if you get hurt? I’ve lived alone at Xiping Inn for a year and have never met a man like you. If I could, I would love to repay you with my life. However, Lan Xi also knew that I wasn’t worthy enough for her master. I just wanted her to take care of myself and not let anything happen to her. ”

An Zheng patted her head, “Don’t worry, I will stay here for a while. Even when I leave to catch the demon beasts, I won’t let them bully you. I’ve already paid the deposit for a month. If I’m not here, you don’t have to work so hard. In this house, all you have to do is act recklessly and the shopkeeper won’t find trouble with you. If he dares to come, I will teach him a lesson in your place, okay? ”

“But I was thinking about you.”

She buttoned up An Zheng’s shirt and then pressed her face against An Zheng’s chest: “Sir, I don’t understand the world of men, what’s so good about fighting and killing? The demon beasts were powerful, so the mayor sent people to deal with them. In any case, I still don’t know what your dream is. I only know that if it’s a man I care about, I’ll guard him all day and won’t let him leave me. ”

An Zheng shook his head: “To takisk, of course, is something that a man should do. Demonic beasts bring harm to people. Think about it, what if the ones being bullied by the demon beasts have your relatives? ”

“I have no family left.”

Lan Xi shook her head. “If someone loves you, why are you here?”

She stood up. “I’ll go tell them to prepare breakfast for Young Master.”

An Zheng shook his head: “I won’t be eating breakfast, but let them prepare breakfast for you guys. If they can’t do it well, I won’t be using them.”

Lan Xi was stunned. She didn’t know why she suddenly started crying.

However, An Zheng did not notice that after changing his clothes, he was heading towards the City Lord’s Mansion. Who would have thought that there would be so many people at the City Lord’s Mansion? Long lines were formed at the side door of the City Lord’s Mansion, at least a few hundred people waiting to be tested. The City Lord’s Mansion’s recruitment and treatment was good, so most of them were sturdy men that couldn’t cultivate.

An Zheng looked at the long queue in front of him before he stood still. Behind him came another sturdy man with sideburns. An Zheng’s left eye was extraordinary, he could tell that this person was a cultivator with just a glance, and that he was at the Captive Stage. It wasn’t easy for such people to queue up.

“Most of the people in front are here to join in on the fun.”

The man looked at An Zheng, and snorted disdainfully: “You too.”

An Zheng: “What do you mean?”

The bearded man said, “Although your physique looks pretty good, you can tell from your clothes that you’re noroper cultivator.”

An Zheng: “Something’s wrong with you ….”

The bearded man pointed at his beard and the scars on his neck. “See that? This was masculinity. Only men are handsome like this. ”

“But this warrior, why don’t you take a bath?”

“Bath? After taking a bath, he would lose his manliness! I advise you not to get involved so recklessly. It is said that that demonic beast is very powerful, and many cultivators have died in its hands. Someone like you probably don’t even have a Sumeru Stage. ”

“Err …”

An Zheng shook his head, and then rubbed his nose. “My nose is so itchy … “Aaaaah!”

With a sneeze, the hundreds of people in the queue collapsed. It was like a dominoes, one drop. An Zheng laughed embarrassedly: “Sorry, sorry, it was a bit too much.”

He walked around those people with an apologetic face as he walked forward, saying, “Why do you all need to be so kind to open uath for me?”

The steward on duty at the door looked at An Zheng, and then quickly walked over: “I’ve searched for a long time, but I haven’t seen anyone who has the ability. Young Master, please come in!

The bearded man was stunned, his face full of surprise: “This sneeze sure has the force of a shockwave.”

The steward glanced at the bearded man and said, “Brave warrior, you should come too.”

The bearded man: “Ah? “Alright, alright.”

An Zheng followed the supervisor into the City Lord’s Mansion, went around the front yard and across the front hall. When he arrived at the backyard, he discovered that there were already twenty or so people gathered. There seemed to be both men and women, old and young, and all of the elders had white hair. In his youth, he looked like a wet blanket.

The most eye-catching of them all was a woman and a child. The woman looked to be around 30 years of age, and her body exuded an unearthly aura. When she squinted her eyes, her peachy cheeks and cheeks, she gave off a sort of charm. He was wearing a long, peach-colored skirt and playing with a folding fan in his hand. The other one was a little kid who looked to be around ten years old. With a little white face and a height that barely reached An Zheng’s chest, he carried a broadsword that was more than two meters long on his shoulder.

“Everyone.”

Someone came out from the inside wearing a dark blue brocade robe with a jade belt on his waist. This person had a dignified appearance and seemed to have the temperament of someone in a high position.

An Zheng recognized him. It was the City Lord of Qingfeng City, Xun Zhiwen.

“Thank you for coming.”

Xun Zhiwen cupped his fists, and everyone immediately returned the greeting.

After all, he was the City Lord, a Official of the border.

“To make a long story short, in the recent seven hundred miles to the northwest, that Monstrous Beast appeared again. It harmed a city, and over a dozen villages were razed to the ground by the flood. Unfortunately, no one knew just how monstrous it was. There was a shortage of manpower in the manor. It was up to everyone to head northwest this time. It was also dangerous, but he might not be able to meet that monster. However, regardless of whether they met or not, everyone received a red rank spirit stone in return. ”

The crowd said, “If they can’t find it, then even if they had to dig three feet into the ground, they still have to find that monster and kill it.”

Xun Zhiwen said: “This trip is dangerous, please do not be careless. I will have my subordinate, Lu Chengji, lead the group, but I will still have to choose someone who can serve the masses as the leader. In the event that we act separately, we can look out for each other. ”

The bearded man walked out from behind An Zheng: “I will do it, I can be their leader!”

“Why should it be you?”

“You’re such a shameless person, as long as you say that you can do it?”

There was no first place for literature, and no second place for martial arts.

Who would so easily submit to a cultivator? The world of men was sometimes simple and crude, and the fights between males were often fierce and forceful.

Xun Zhiwen looked at it, and after pondering for a while, he said: “Since that’s the case, why don’t we compete first? Those who were capable of suppressing the masses naturally believed in them as well. Moreover, this concerns everyone’s life and death, so it’s best to be cautious. ”

An Zheng looked at the bearded man, he then looked at An Zheng who was rubbing his nose and his face changed: What are you doing?

An Zheng: “Done.”
