Qiu Huaitao was quite efficient; although it was said to take three days, Lin Xuan actually received the transfer order on the afternoon of the second day.

at this time!

Yunshan Mining Area, the location of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

"You are Lin Xuan..."

A demon-slaying captain, dressed in dark red armor and with a cold expression, glanced at Lin Xuan and said in a cold voice, "You kid, you do have some skills."

They've only been in the Yunshan mining area for a few days, and they've already sent our patrol team.

Tell me, who's behind you?

"Well... Captain, I have no one else behind me."

Lin Xuan chuckled, casually placing a jade bottle on the table in front of him before continuing, "It's all thanks to the Captain's kindness..."

The man glanced at the jade bottle, picked it up, and opened it. A rich fragrance of elixir wafted out, and his pupils immediately shrank to a single point, a broad smile spreading across his face.

Xuan-level high-grade spirit-quenching pill!

That's quite a grand gesture.

Such a wonderful thing cannot be bought even if you have money.

The Demon Suppression Division does offer exchanges, but not only are the contribution points required incredibly high, but most importantly, they're snapped up as soon as they're released.

These are absolutely hot commodities; Lin Xuan gave out three of them at once.

"Good lad!"

The demon-slaying captain immediately put away the pills, then chuckled and said, "Lin Xuan, I can tell at a glance that you are a talented person."

The future is bright.

Team Nine is short-handed, so you can go there!

If you ever need anything in the future, just come to me, and I'll help you solve it..."

"Then I thank you very much, Captain." Lin Xuan immediately cupped his hands and said.

"Don't call me 'Captain,' call me 'Brother'..."

The guy glared at him and immediately said, "In my life, what I love most is making friends, especially someone as sensible as you."

From now on, within this small area of ​​the Yunshan mining district, I'll protect you, brother."

Holy crap!

Lin Xuan couldn't help but curse inwardly. This bastard, this money-grubbing scumbag, and he even spoke so righteously.

What? You can tell at a glance that I'm a talented young man.

If I hadn't given you those three Spirit Refining Pills, I don't know what you would have done to you by now.

Of course, Lin Xuan might have been complaining in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face at all. He chuckled and said, "Then thank you for your care, Brother Hong."

Brother Hong, don't worry, I still have some savings. I'll definitely make sure to give you plenty of money in the future..."

"Hahaha...you lad, you're really something."

Hong Yuan burst into laughter, walked over, put his arm around Lin Xuan's shoulder, and said, "Come on... I'll take you to the Ninth Team so you can meet your future teammates..."

As he spoke, he led Lin Xuan straight out of his office, and after turning a few corners, they arrived at a secluded courtyard.

This is the location of the Ninth Patrol Team.

"Li Pingyang, you son of a bitch, get out here right now, I've brought you a new bride."

Hong Yuanren hadn't even entered the courtyard when he was already shouting at the top of his lungs.

This immediately alerted everyone in the courtyard.

Soon, a middle-aged man led seven demon-slaying guards over and blocked the courtyard gate.

"Captain Hong, what brings you here?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Hong Yuan without any respect whatsoever, and his calm voice even carried a hint of coldness.

Lin Xuan originally thought that, given Hong Yuan's personality, he would definitely be very unhappy.

Unexpectedly, Hong Yuan didn't care at all about what the middle-aged man said. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Li Pingyang, you're still the same as ever, always wearing a sour face."

However, I, the captain, will not stoop to your level today.

"You've been saying all this time that your Ninth Team is short-handed, haven't you? Well, we've sent some people over today..."

Saying that!

Hong Yuan pointed at Lin Xuan and said, "This is Lin Xuan. He will follow you from now on."

Then Hong Yuan turned to Lin Xuan and said, "Lin Xuan, this is Li Pingyang, the captain of the Ninth Team. You will be working with him from now on."

"Yes, Captain."

Lin Xuan stopped addressing Hong Yuan as "Brother Hong" and instead addressed him as "Captain," as there were outsiders present and he needed to be careful about the appropriate tone.

Moreover, Lin Xuan knew very well that Hong Yuan was only being polite to him because of those three Spirit Tempering Pills.

But that doesn't mean they truly respect him.

If he really thinks Hong Yuan is easy to get along with, then he's truly out of his mind.

Lin Xuan first responded to Hong Yuan, then cupped his hands to Li Pingyang and said, "Captain, I am Lin Xuan. Please take care of me in the future..."

Li Pingyang remained silent, only squinting at Lin Xuan.

After a long pause, he said in a deep voice, "Come in!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and walked into the courtyard, not even glancing at Hong Yuan again.

The others following behind Li Pingyang also looked Lin Xuan up and down before turning and leaving.

Hong Yuan was completely ignored.

Lin Xuan even noticed a hint of indifference and disdain in the eyes of Li Pingyang and the others.

Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Hong Yuan beside him without making a sound.

Sure enough, Hong Yuan's eyes were clearly filled with anger and murderous intent, but he concealed it very well.

He concealed his killing intent in an instant, then smiled and patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder, saying, "Lin Xuan, Captain Li is very powerful."

Stay with him, I'm leaving now..."

"Alright, Captain, take care." Lin Xuan nodded with a smile, and after Hong Yuan left, he got up and walked into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Li Pingyang and the others stood to one side, coldly watching Lin Xuan walk in.

No one came up to chat with them.
