Housekeeper Chen led Xiao Yang, Gou 'zi, and the others toward the Phoenix Pavilion.
Chen Pingan was in the Phoenix Pavilion sifting through the many applicants. If he liked them, they could stay. If he didn't, they would be eliminated.
So far, there were more than 100 people who had entered this courtyard.
However, there were also many people who had left. At least half of them had been eliminated.
The remaining people were still being sifted through. Looking at the situation, the competition was very strong. It would be very difficult to stay.
Chen Pingan was about the same age as Xiao Yang. He had a delicate appearance, but his cultivation was not bad. At such a young age, he had already reached Wu Zun's Rank Nine.
In particular, he had refined a pair of sharp eyes. His gaze was like a torch, and he could see through people at a glance. It was as if everyone's strengths and weaknesses could not be hidden from his gaze.
He walked in front of Dongfang Bai.
Dongfang Bai was originally very arrogant. After all, he was born in a big family. However, after seeing Chen Pingan, he subconsciously lowered his head. He revealed an apologetic smile and said, "Greetings, Chen Shaoye. I hope we can fight side by side and become comrades."
Chen Pingan nodded. His gaze shifted to Nangong Cang. Nangong Cang also suddenly became much more humble. He immediately said respectfully, "Greetings, Chen Shaoye."
Chen Pingan sized them up. After hesitating for a moment, he made a judgment and said, "You guys are not suitable for me. After all, I will go to the battlefield. You guys are too noble. You guys should go back."
There was one more thing he didn't say. Once they encountered an extreme situation, these two people might betray him. They would betray their teammates for their own selfish reasons because these two people had the bones of a traitor.
Chen Pingan didn't dare to keep them. He didn't want them to die by his hands one day.
He didn't necessarily want the most powerful, the smartest, or the most powerful. However, they had to be loyal and honest. At the very least, they had to be trustworthy and trustworthy.
People like Dongfang Bai and Nangong Cang were completely opportunistic.
If they were right, they could develop their forces to planet Suzaku. If they were wrong, they could run away.
In the end, this was the will of their families. It didn't depend on the two of them.
Chen Pingan wasn't stupid. Why would he need two puppets?
Dongfang Bai and Nangong Cang's expressions changed greatly when they heard that they had been eliminated. They exclaimed in disbelief, "What? You're letting us go? "
They couldn't believe their ears.
One had to know that they were a big family in the local area. They had power and influence. There were many things that others could not do, but they could do them.
Abandoning them was undoubtedly rejecting a huge help. Only a fool would do such a thing.
Dongfang Bai and Nangong Cang came in with their status and background. They were originally full of confidence, thinking that Chen Pingan would definitely need their family's support.
But they really didn't expect that Chen Pingan would reject them as soon as they met.
Dongfang Bai and Nangong Cang's expressions became extremely ugly.
One had to know that they weren't the only ones who were slapped in the face. Their clans were also people who wanted face, and their clans wanted prestige as well.
They were kind enough to put down their pride and come here to apply for the job, but Chen Pingan rejected and eliminated them without saying a word. If word got out, it would be bad for their reputation.
Dongfang Bai suppressed his anger and said, "Chen Shaoye, allow me to introduce myself first. I am Dongfang Bai. The Dongfang family is a big family in the local area. If you hire me, I guarantee that I will help you solve many troublesome matters."
Nangong Cang was no exception. He said, "Chen Shaoye, I am Nangong Cang. My Nangong family is also willing to serve you."
Chen Pingan thought for a moment.
He was thinking that if he rejected these two people, their families would definitely drag him down and cause trouble.
But hiring such a noble young master was undoubtedly killing himself and other trustworthy people.
After hesitating for a while, Chen Pingan said firmly, "Young Master Dongfang, Young Master Nangong, you are indeed not what I need. However, I am willing to be friends with you. When we have free time, we can discuss cultivation, zither, chess, calligraphy, and so on. How about it?"
This was a kind of concession.
They definitely wouldn't feel good if he rejected them.
It was better to directly give them the identity of fair-weather friends. It could also be considered as an explanation to them.
Dongfang Bai and Nangong Cang's complexion also improved a lot. They said with a smile, "Of course we hope to be friends with Chen Shaoye. Then we won't say anything more. As friends, let's see who you want to recruit."
Chen Pingan nodded, tacitly allowing them to watch from the side.
He continued to filter the others and picked a few people who met his requirements.
Nangong Cang and Dongfang Bai narrowed their eyes slightly and glanced at those people he picked. They sensed that those people's cultivation realms were higher than theirs. Therefore, they didn't say anything.
After all, their cultivation realms were right there. They had no choice but to accept it.
Who asked them to be lazy?
As the children of a big family, they were born with a golden spoon in their mouths. They stretched out their hands for clothes and opened their mouths for food. Even their current cultivation realms were forcibly increased by medicinal pills. They looked good but were useless. Even so, their cultivation realms were still pitifully low, only Wu Zun Level Four.
Therefore, they had nothing to say about Chen Pingan's actions.
At this moment, Housekeeper Chen brought Xiao Yang, Gouzi, and the others over.
"Young Master, they are new. Take a look."
Housekeeper Chen said respectfully.
Chen Pingan nodded. His gaze fell on Xiao Yang, Gouzi, Lin Shiyun, and Xiao Linger one after another.
When he saw Gouzi for the first time, he frowned a little and asked with contempt, "Who are you? Can you briefly introduce yourself? "
Gouzi immediately introduced himself and then used his talents to deliver an important piece of information to Chen Pingan.
Chen Pingan was skeptical. After receiving the information jade slip, he began to read it slowly. After reading it, his worldview was refreshed. He looked at Gouzi in a new light. He laughed and patted Gouzi's shoulder, saying, "Good, Gouzi. You are very good. Welcome to the team."
Gouzi thanked him and then ran to the other team that was picked.
He looked at Xiao Yang with encouragement in his eyes.
Chen Pingan looked at Xiao Yang and said, "You are friends. Gouzi is so extraordinary. I think you must be very capable."
Xiao Yang knew that the opportunity had come. He cupped his fists and said, "To be honest, I am an alchemist. If you want to test my strength, you can give me an alchemy room. These two are my pill slaves. It is like this. I am only in charge of the logistics and pills. I am not in charge of going deep into the enemy territory to fight. "
Chen Pingan's eyes lit up.
Alchemist.
Even the Chen family on planet Suzaku only had one intermediate level alchemist.
