Wu Chenxi originally wanted to go with Jiang Yi, but she delayed a little because someone from the Xuanbu who had contacted her arrived.

Wu Chenxi was surprised to see someone familiar. "Uncle Jin, how could it be you?"

Jinshan led his apprentice into the main room, and when he saw Wu Chenxi change the formation with a wave of her hand, he gave her a thumbs up, "It seems you've made progress."

"I didn't join the Xuanbu; I just saw your reaction and took on the responsibility."

Wu Chenxi was surprised that her senior brother Jinshan had been recruited. Although she was a little taken aback, she quickly smiled and said, "So, it seems I have connections in higher places?"

“That’s right,” Jin Shan said. This time, he didn’t come alone. He had two apprentices with him. The two apprentices stood silently behind him, expressionless.

“If you have any ideas, your senior brother can also help you find the way. There are still many vacancies inside, and if you come over, you can choose first.”

Wu Chenxi laughed and said, "Senior Uncle, that's an interesting thing to say. So, you're saying that job positions are like choosing vegetables?"

Jinshan, "That's because of you that I dared to say such a thing."

Your cultivation level is no less than that of other sects. If they want to compete with you, they'll have to see if they have the ability.

Another purpose of his visit was to persuade Wu Chenxi to join the Xuan Department.

“Uncle Jin, you know I’m the most unrestrained person. I think this is great. I just took on a little apprentice, and I can now live peacefully with her in my old age.”

Jinshan looked at her in disbelief, "I haven't even mentioned the words 'retirement' yet, and you've already brought them up."

Things have loosened up a lot now, and you no longer need to dress up like this all the time.

This old woman's attire is really unnecessary.

She's clearly a bright and pretty girl, but she insists on making herself look like this.

Besides, with her abilities, who would dare to scheme against her? It's not like they're tired of living.

Uncle Wu only had one descendant, and he left her countless life-saving treasures.

Many people in the Xuanmen sect were envious, but none of them dared to even consider it.

"I think this is quite good, it saves a lot of trouble." Wu Chenxi looked at herself in the mirror on the wall. She had been looking at herself for decades and seemed to be quite used to it.

However, this time when I go to Beijing, it's time to change my image, so as not to embarrass my apprentice.

"Let's take care of the important matters first, and I'll host a welcome dinner for you all later." Wu Chenxi decided to talk about the important matters first.

They made no secrets about Kuang Wu's origins or their previous experience of breaking the formation.

"Although the formation has been broken, I don't know if Lingmeng Island has any other connections with that other island?"

Kuang Wu came to investigate and did some bad things to the villagers in the vicinity. If you have time, you can go and collect evidence.

When we tried to break the formation, we sought help from the underworld officials, but we couldn't break it on our own.

"Should I summon the underworld official? Would you like to question him?"

Speaking in a half-hearted manner, Wu Chenxi took all the blame upon herself, so that no one would be so blind as to cause trouble for her little apprentice.

"I didn't expect the Wu family to be so learned, not only proficient in formations, but also able to communicate with the underworld messengers?" It seems we need to reassess Wu Chenxi's importance. Such a capable helper would be a great loss if we didn't recruit her into the Xuan Department.

"I learned this by accident," Wu Chenxi didn't want to say more, as the more she said, the more flaws she would reveal. "Kuang Wu has been pestering me these past few days, wanting to learn from me."

You know I would never take on such unscrupulous people.

I suspect he has ulterior motives, besides wanting to avenge his sect..."

"Where is Kuang Wu now?" Jin Shan's impression of Kuang Wu had plummeted.

Regardless of whether he was involved or not, what kind of good disciples can a sect that betrays Guo for personal gain produce?

"You've come at a bad time. He should be out looking for something to eat right now. He'll be back in a few minutes." Wu Chenxi hadn't expected the other party to be so patient, almost as if they were setting up a stove outside his door.

Since the person wasn't here, and would just walk right into a trap again, Jinshan wasn't in a hurry to complete the mission. "Didn't you say you took on an apprentice last time? Why isn't he here?"

Such a disciple is rather unreasonable. Which disciple doesn't serve his master closely?

“If you had come a few days ago, she would still be here,” Wu Chenxi was also thinking about whether to ask Fang Qinghe and the others to inform her, so that her disciple could at least get a gift.

Looking back now, it really feels like a loss to have taken on a disciple. My senior uncle Jinshan has taken on so many disciples, and although she is of the same generation, she has given away quite a lot of things.

In addition, we owed favors to others when Grandpa was alive, so when you add it all up, it's a huge loss.

No, she'll only take on one apprentice. If these people don't come up with a decent gift, she'll have to decide how to give them one later. She still needs to leave some savings for her little apprentice.

But none of this stopped her from showing off her apprentice: "My apprentice is of average talent, but he does well in his studies. He's quite smart, and this time he took the exam and got the top score in the county."

She applied to a university in Beijing, so I'm planning to move there with her. It'll be much easier for us to see each other then.

Jinshan's eyes lit up; everyone likes a smart child.

He knows many people, and his family has children who took the college entrance exam. But he doesn't seem to have heard anyone say that anyone got a particularly good score or who passed.

He was too embarrassed to inquire about the matter, for fear of offending someone.

Wu Chenxi's apprentices are excellent and quite good. If he could marry any of his many apprentices or grand-apprentices, they would be his own people.

"That's really good. When you and your apprentice join the Xuan Department together, with you looking after her, her future will be bright."

The first step is to keep people around you before you can continue with the plan.

Wu Chenxi said, "You'd better not think about it. My apprentice is studying medicine, and he'll probably be extremely busy for the next few years."

Our Taoist medicine practices are all interconnected. I remember your Taoist medicine techniques are quite good. After all, you're your junior, so you can't be too stingy with them.”

She couldn't play dumb with this old man. Her grandfather had mentioned that the gift he gave to Uncle Jin was quite generous, and they had always kept in touch. So Wu Chenxi didn't bother with formalities.

Jinshan had seen all sorts of big scenes, so he could easily see through her blatant scheming. He patted his waist with a smile and said, "Of course I can't treat you poorly. I've even prepared a gift for our first meeting. If you're not satisfied, I'll change it for you later."

The two apprentices following behind finally showed a change in expression. They had never seen their master so generous before. Aren't gifts usually given at will? How come they can choose them?

It seems they should also offer a generous gift to this nephew they've never met.

He couldn't help but feel a little bitter. Although everyone was eager to come out with their master, he hadn't expected this to happen.
