Chapter 24 Qingtian Hunting House
An old street comes into view. The ground is paved with bluestone slabs, which bear the test of time and have a taste of the Republic of China.
Lu Xuan got out of the car and walked towards the middle of the street. When he reached the end, he saw a sign swaying in the air in the alley, making a creaking sound.
The sign showed the Qingtian Hunting House that Lu Xuan was looking for.
He stopped and looked at the tattered sign, somewhat amazed.
How could outsiders know that in this small shop, there was a former priest of the Holy Court with the power of forbidden spells hiding.
Lu Xuan continued walking forward, pushed open the door of Qingtian Hunting House and walked in.
After entering, he looked around and saw a cute little girl with long ponytails sitting on a chair to the right of the door. Her eyes were a little red and she was holding a demon file in her hand.
The cute face was originally smiling, but when he heard someone coming in, he glanced over, frowned slightly, and looked a little unhappy.
Lu Xuan recognized at first sight that this old-fashioned girl was Leng Lingling, who had the title of Master Hunter.
"You need to entrust at least 300,000 yuan to come here. You don't look like you can afford it. Please go back."
Leng Lingling's voice echoed in the shop. She ignored Lu Xuan at all and focused her eyes back on the file she had just removed and continued to read it.
Lu Xuan was a little surprised. Was this little girl crazy? Although she was a bit of a nag in the original book and liked to mock others, it was not to this extent.
Just as he was about to speak, he seemed to hear voices outside, and a sound came from the room inside, and soon an old man rushed out.
Old Man Bao looked at Lu Xuan standing at the door and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, this girl's relative just passed away not long ago, and she is in a bad mood now."
When Lu Xuan heard this, he understood. He had come into contact with this place a year earlier than Mo Fan.
The original novel did not specify the exact time of death of Lingling's father. According to Old Man Bao, King Leng Lie had just passed away not long ago. No wonder the little girl looked like this.
After Lu Xuan sorted out the cause and effect, he didn't care about it. It was understandable that others would be in a bad mood because their loved ones had just died.
As for the death of the Leng Liewang, he was very clear that it was related to the Red Devil.
However, he did not mean to say it out loud. This copy was not something he could handle at the moment, and he could not put himself in danger.
At this time Lingling also realized that she had caused trouble, and asked her grandfather to apologize on her behalf, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"I was rude just now. I apologize. I'm sorry."
Lu Xuan was not so angry as to get angry with a little girl. "I don't take it to heart. You don't have to feel guilty."
Seeing that the incident was over, Old Man Bao began to ask Lu Xuan why he came. "Young man, what brings you here? What's the matter?"
Seeing the other party asking, Lu Xuan also took the opportunity to tell the purpose of his visit, "I heard that you are recruiting people here, so I came here for an interview. Do you still need anyone?"
After saying that, he quietly waited for the other party's reply. In the original novel, Qingtian Hunting House was recruiting people every other day, so he was not worried that there would be any problem if he said this.
However, if you want to join the Qingtian Hunting House, it all depends on the old man Bao’s impression of you. If he likes you, you can join.
"So that's how it is. Since you're here, young man, you must know something about our Qingtian Hunters! Our missions here are not easy, and you may be in danger of losing your life at any time."
Old Man Bao picked up a pipe, knocked it to shake out the tobacco inside, and looked at the opposite side with calm eyes.
"Don't worry about that. Since I'm here, I must know that I always enjoy danger."
Lu Xuan immediately showed a righteous look, and said it with absolute certainty. Are you kidding me? Is he the kind of person who is afraid of danger?
It is impossible for the other party to send him, a mid-level mage, to do the task of a high-level mage. That is not a task; that is asking him to die.
As long as the commissions and rewards are still within the range of mid-level mages, he has nothing to worry about given his current strength.
Lingling, who was standing by, heard this and looked at Lu Xuan with a strange expression on his face. This man was young but had a very arrogant tone.
She was about to say something sarcastic, but when she thought of what had just happened, the words she was about to say were stuck in her throat.
Old Man Bao's expression was as calm as ever. He took out some tobacco from a small bag and stuffed it into his pipe.
"Since you know, young man, I won't ask any more questions. I wonder how strong you are and where you are from?"
Lu Xuan handed over the Hunter Alliance's information: "Mid-level Thunder Element, from Bo City."
These are all basic things, so there is no need for him to hide them. With the other party's power, if they want to know something about him, they can reveal his underwear.
After taking it, Old Man Bao put the pipe in his hand into his mouth and paused, "I didn't expect you to be from Bo City. You have reached the intermediate level at your age. You have good talent."
Although he has been investigating his son's affairs recently, he also knows a little about Bocheng's affairs from what he has heard from others.
Old Man Bao thought for a moment before he spoke: "You can just call me Old Man Bao from now on. Also, you are welcome to join the Qingtian Hunting House."
After saying that, he put the pipe in his mouth, took a puff, and exhaled a puff of white smoke.
Since Old Man Bao agreed, Lu Xuan also agreed. "It's an honor to join Qingtian Hunting House. Do you have any commissions that I can accept now?"
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, he began to ask about the commission. He did not forget the most important thing.
"Commission? We work in teams of two here and carry out tasks together. Although there are also solo tasks, I'm afraid you won't be able to complete them with your current abilities."
Old Man Bao also said bluntly that he would not refuse. He would not break the rules because of Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan was a little annoyed. He didn't expect that there were some so-called rules here.
He is alone, and now he is asked to find a partner to carry out the mission.
Lu Xuan glanced to the side without leaving a trace. He knew that Lingling in front of him could team up with him.
However, he didn't think Lingling would go with him to complete the monster hunting commission when her father had just passed away.
"I wonder if you have any tasks that can be performed alone." Lu Xuan glanced at the store and continued, "Besides, I can't find a teammate here who can team up with me. I don't have many friends in the Magic City."
He wanted to use this method to see if he could get some commissions. If that didn't work, he would have to give up the idea of making money and go hunting monsters alone.
Anyway, the money Zhan Kong gave him was enough to support him for a while, and he would think of a way out when it ran out.
"The rules cannot be broken. How about this, let Lingling be your partner temporarily, and you two act together." said Old Man Bao.
He also didn't want Lingling to stay like this, so he took this opportunity to find a simpler commission to divert her attention.
