Lingshan couldn't help but frown. She'd already said that she wasn't going, so why was this guy still bugging her? Was everyone in the Archaic Alliance like this? She had to go if they liked her, and she couldn't even say no? Wasn't that a little too overbearing?
"You don't have to make a decision in a rush. We won't be returning to the Archaic Alliance for a while anyway. You can tell me your answer the next time I come. I believe that Miss Song is a smart person, and you won't disappoint me." Xue Jianfeng put away his anger and smiled faintly.
He also knew that he couldn't push her too hard. After all, going too far was as bad as not going far enough. He guessed that the reason why the other party rejected him was because it was too sudden and she wasn't mentally prepared. She might even have doubts about what he said before. When the other party figured out all these things, she would naturally know what to do.
"......" Lingshan didn't say anything, but since the guy had already put it that way, she couldn't go back on her attitude. She could drag this out for as long as she could, and she'd just reject him when the time came. The most important thing right now was to find someone to discuss a countermeasure with, just in case she got caught off guard by the Archaic Alliance.
"I'll be taking my leave then. I hope Miss Song can think about this. Oh, right, don't forget about the spirit practitioner." Xue Jianfeng said with Fei Yangsheng as he left.
It seemed like he was surprisingly easy to talk to, but Jianfeng was actually taking a step back in order to advance. To be honest, he didn't believe that the department would be able to find that spirit practitioner. This way, he'd come back in a few days and he'd be able to use this as a pretext.
At that time, he'd just have to make things difficult for Lingshan, and she'd have to listen to him obediently. At the same time, he'd find some decent practitioners from the common world and bring them along. These people probably wouldn't have the guts to go against the Archaic Alliance, and they'd probably be overjoyed. After all, people like Lingshan who rejected his invitation were rare.
Lingshan breathed a sigh of relief after the two left the department. The others weren't in the mood to do anything anymore, and they surrounded her to ask about the situation.
"Do your job well. After I report to Chief Feng, you will naturally know what you need to know." Lingshan waved everyone away and called Tianlong, telling him everything that had happened. Tianlong was still out of town on a business trip, and wouldn't be back anytime soon, so she could only contact him through the phone.
"Yeah, I've heard about the primordial spirit cultivators, but it's surprising that they want to recruit disciples from the common world," Feng Tianlong said after listening to the story.
"What do we do?" Lingshan asked.
"How about this, you arrange for everyone to focus on the Yuan spirit cultivator. Although this might be a lie, we still have to investigate it. We can't let them use this as a pretext," Feng Tianlong ordered.
"Yes!" Lingshan replied.
"As for the second thing, we definitely can't give them the information on the practitioners in the common world- if they have ulterior motives, the consequences will be unimaginable. But we can't just leave them be. We'll find some time to go through the list and do an internal screening. We'll pick out the ones with the highest potential, and we'll act according to the circumstances," Tianlong said after some thought.
"Alright, I'll arrange it right away!" Lingshan hung up and gathered all the members of the investigation department, starting a targeted search for the practitioner. Everyone knew that the chances were slim, but they had no choice but to try as much as they could in a situation like this.
After making the arrangements, Lingshan didn't stay in the department and went to the villa in the Xueshang district. She had to report this to Chentian and the others.
Chentian and the others jumped in fright when they received the news, dropping everything they were doing without hesitation. By the time Lingshan pushed open the door, everyone was already there.
What Lingshan didn't know was that after she walked in, two figures appeared in the bushes not far behind her- it was Xue Jianfeng and Fei Yangsheng.
With their strength, it was a piece of cake for them to follow someone in the common world- even a Sky class like Lingshan wouldn't be able to detect them.
"Interesting, there's actually so many Sky class masters in this place. Looks like this Lingshan's background isn't simple at all, no wonder she rejected my invitation." Xue Jianfeng rubbed his chin with interest.
The Great Circle of the Heaven Realm was already the peak of the secular world's strength, and a large number of them had gathered in this room. They were practically invincible existences in the secular world.
"Senior Brother Xue, should we go in?" Fei Yangsheng asked.
"Go in? What for? Capture them on the spot? We're here to recruit disciples, not kidnap! Use your brain! " Xue Jianfeng glanced at him faintly, "Some of them look quite talented. Let's write them down first, we'll just ask for them next time."
"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Xue, you're the wise- with Senior Brother Xue here personally, these disciples will definitely be much better than the other sects. The head will definitely remember this, Senior Brother Xue," Fei Yangsheng said respectfully.
Xue Jianfeng's face immediately became a bit more complacent. He didn't do this for the sake of making a contribution. More importantly, once he brought these disciples back, they would naturally become part of his faction. To an ambitious person like him, the benefits were self-evident.
"Alright, we should get down to proper business- the Occult Investigation Department won't be able to find that Yuan practitioner by themselves. We'll need the people from the Archaic Alliance," Xue Jianfeng said as he left with Fei Yangsheng.
In the villa, Lingshan and the others didn't notice anything at all. After hearing Lingshan's details, they all fell silent, worried.
"These people are all Sky practitioners, this is a bit troublesome," Chentian frowned.
"Yeah, this Archaic Alliance popped out of nowhere, and it's completely different from Sky class island- these people aren't on the same level as us at all- we won't be able to handle them with our strength," Yu Bing said solemnly.
