Chapter 38: Chapter 38: It’s a Miracle the Reception Envoy Has Survived This Long

"Friendly! Stop!"

The Reception Envoy shouted, feeling like he was about to be crushed to death by this palm strike.

This guy was definitely not a Horizontal Training Ninth Layer, no Horizontal Training Ninth Layer would have strength this terrifying; this was at least a Body Refining expert.

A True Qi Martial Artist sneaking up on a Body Refining expert, wasn’t this courting death?

While shouting, the Reception Envoy drew back to grab Wei Fan’s hand to block, but in just an instant, the True Qi in his hand shattered, his Protective True Qi exploded, and his arm felt like it had been struck by an iron hammer, his legs sinking into the ground.

"Brother Wei, stop!"

Ning Xuan flew in from the air, his shout coming closer and closer, and Wei Fan’s palm barely stopped on the Reception Envoy’s forehead.

Just an inch more, and the Reception Envoy’s head would explode like a watermelon.

"Puh!"

With the strong pressure and the backlash of True Qi, the Reception Envoy spat out a mouthful of blood, gasping for breath in fear.

Wei Fan took a step back, avoiding the blood.

His form returned to normal, retracting his momentum as he turned to look at the flying Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong: "Is this guy who ambushed me your friend?"

"Beat him to death!"

"Dare to attack Chief Wei, everyone, get him!"

"With such meager skills, daring to strike at Chief Wei."

At this point, the pedestrians on the street realized that Wei Fan had been attacked and immediately surged forward like a tide to join in on surrounding the Reception Envoy.

Wei Fan hurriedly stopped them, and the crowd finally dispersed.

"He’s the Reception Envoy from the Demon Suppression Bureau, the guide we mentioned, here to assess you. If you had killed him..."

Ning Xuan couldn’t continue, because there had never been a case of a Reception Envoy being killed during an assessment.

"Reception Envoy? Assessing me?"

Wei Fan truly hadn’t expected that this was the Reception Envoy from the Demon Suppression Bureau. After waiting for so long, he had almost unintentionally killed the guide.

"To think with such skills he’d assess people through ambushes, it’s a miracle the Reception Envoy has lived this long!"

Honestly, the abilities of the Reception Envoy left Wei Fan somewhat disappointed in the Demon Suppression Bureau.

If it hadn’t been for Ning Xuan speaking in time, if he hadn’t stopped in time, he really would have killed someone. In that moment of rage, he didn’t hold back at all.

Ning Xuan’s mouth twitched, and Su Xuerong was still in shock.

"Puh!"

The Reception Envoy on the ground healing himself spat out a mouthful of blood directly out of anger: "Ning the kid, you’ve misled me!"

If it weren’t for Ning Xuan’s incorrect information, how could he have ended up almost getting killed?

When investigating recruits, not everyone would be tested; they only tested the truly talented ones, looking for trouble would they make a move.

The reason he made a move was entirely due to the inaccuracy of Ning Xuan’s information.

According to Ning Xuan’s reports, Wei Fan was strong in Martial Techniques, his Dantian only holding ten years of power, and he practiced two Horizontal Martial Arts.

Only after testing did he realize all the information was completely wrong.

"Don’t heal yourself on the street, my home is just ahead, let’s go there!"

He and Ning Xuan helped the Reception Envoy up, and after a bit, they arrived at his home.

They placed the Reception Envoy inside to meditate and heal, while Wei Fan brewed a pot of tea and chatted with Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong in the yard.

During their chat, Wei Fan learned that Su Xuerong and Ning Xuan came to Yun City with the Reception Envoy because their new assessment was still in Yun City.

Fortunately, they came, or the Reception Envoy being killed by Wei Fan would have gone unnoticed.

"By the way, Brother Wei, the Reception Envoy said that if you qualify, you will also join us in completing this mission."

Ning Xuan was somewhat excited.

If they were with Wei Fan, this assessment would be a certainty, and they could finally enter the Demon Suppression Bureau.

They even helped arrange the assessment tasks; Wei Fan said, "So what do you think, do I qualify?"

Su Xuerong gave Wei Fan a look: "You nearly killed the Reception Envoy, so there’s no issue with cultivation. Now it’s just a matter of seeing if the Reception Envoy’s assessment of your character is qualified."

The Demon Suppression Bureau doesn’t only consider talent but also character when recruiting members.

They don’t require benevolence and mercy, but at the very least, there shouldn’t have been any collusion with Demon Fiends; that’s a basic line.

Ning Xuan said: "Brother Wei’s character is naturally not an issue. So many people on the street just now supported him; he must have done a lot of good for the people of Yun City."

"The Demon Suppression Bureau’s Reception Envoy has such poor Martial Arts skills?"

After chatting for a while, Wei Fan couldn’t hold back and asked. If the Demon Suppression Bureau isn’t up to par, he’d have to reconsider joining.

Ning Xuan looked up at Wei Fan: "Brother Wei, don’t overthink it. The strength of the Demon Suppression Bureau is without question, I understand your thinking. If Jianghu sects were good, as a disciple of a Jianghu sect, I wouldn’t want to enter the Demon Suppression Bureau either.

The Demon Suppression Bureau archives martial arts from all over the world, and many lost Martial Arts are only found there.

The Reception Envoy’s poor skills are normal because they’re not part of the combat personnel of the Demon Suppression Bureau. The real experts battle on the front lines, not doing reception tasks like these."

Does the Reception Envoy really have poor Martial Arts skills?

It’s just you have beaten the Reception Envoy; others who’ve been assessed were all easily subdued.

"Kid, you’re quite arrogant. In all my years as a Reception Envoy, no one has said my Martial Arts is lacking!"

At this moment, the Reception Envoy came out with a dark face, having been beaten, not to mention now being deemed weak, was simply too much.

Ning Xuan looked embarrassed: "Reception Envoy, please have a seat!"

The Reception Envoy sat down with a grim face, his tone shifted: "But you’re not wrong, it indeed seems lacking for someone like you, this kind of genius is simply wasting time outside."

Someone so young already comprehending True Intent Martial Arts, his comprehension completely making up for any lack in innate talent, if nurtured by the Demon Suppression Bureau, could indeed become a Commander in the future.

Saying this, he glared at Ning Xuan again; he felt that he had taken a beating in vain.

In fact, he wasn’t angry, but rather felt embarrassed.

If he got angry over such matters, he wouldn’t be suitable as a Reception Envoy.

As a Reception Envoy of the Demon Suppression Bureau, what they desire most are geniuses capable of turning the tables during the first assessment, only such talents, once in the Demon Suppression Bureau, could stir the winds and waves.

"I didn’t know Brother Wei had become so strong in just a few days!" Ning Xuan explained.

"I’ll investigate your character, and if there are no issues, I’ll notify you in a few days to carry out the assessment task. If you complete the task, you’ll need to go to Su City."

The Reception Envoy no longer dwelled on previous matters, nor did he inquire about Wei Fan’s martial arts, instead giving some instructions before intending to leave.

"I have a colleague and friend named Hu Qing, also a constable at the government office, who has always wanted to join the Demon Suppression Bureau. Could the Reception Envoy assess her as well?"

Wei Fan called out to the Reception Envoy, not forgetting Hu Qing.

"Sure, I’ll take a look!"

After saying this, the Reception Envoy left with Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong.

After walking some distance, getting far from Wei Fan’s house, the Reception Envoy couldn’t help but say: "No one is to speak of today’s events."

Ning Xuan and Su Xuerong nodded vigorously.

The Reception Envoy had indeed lost face; in the Demon Suppression Bureau, he was likely one of the few guides to be nearly beaten to death by those being assessed.
