At dawn, when the first light spread across the land, the Blood Battle Mercenary Group's leader, Fei Lei, awoke, slowly opening his eyes.
Sitting up, his body stiffened. In his peripheral vision, he glimpsed a white figure!
A hallucination? An illusion?
Rubbing his eyes, he looked at Xiao Jian, quietly drinking at the table.
His heart jolted.
To enter his room undetected.....this person's strength must far exceed his!
Yet since he had not killed him, negotiation was still possible.
Fei Lei thought for a moment, then smiled:
"Friend, may I ask what matter brings the Blood Battle Mercenary Group into service for you?"
"Hehe, there's nothing for you to worry about, Fei Lei. In fact, this is a good thing for the entire Blood Battle Mercenary Group.
" Xiao Jian's smile was enigmatic, his tone calm.
"Please, speak, young master!"
Fei Lei's gaze flickered as he looked at Xiao Jian intently.
"My name is Xiao Jian, third young master of the Xiao family in Utan City.
Fei Lei, you might also know me by another name.....Yuan Xiao."
Xiao Jian spoke slowly, without hurry.
"Xiao Jian… Utan City… Yuan Xiao."
Fei Lei's expression darkened slightly. After a moment's thought, he exclaimed, bowing slightly:
"No wonder I felt familiar seeing your bounty information before.
So you are the jade-faced handsome young master of Utan City!"
Pfft!
Xiao Jian sprayed out the tea he had just drunk.
"Jade-faced handsome young master? Who came up with that nickname?"
He twitched at the corner of his eye, feeling helpless.
"Seems young master Xiao underestimated your fame near Utan City! I had only heard of your looks, but your strength is astonishing as well!"
Fei Lei smiled warmly, bowing.
"Indeed. I've come to expand my family's influence.
The three great families of Utan City are a thing of the past.
Now, Utan City belongs to the Xiao family. I hope to cooperate with you."
Xiao Jian paid little attention to Fei Lei's flattery, his expression returning to calm as he said aloud:
"How do you propose to cooperate?"
Fei Lei nodded seriously.
"I will send people later regarding the specifics.
For now, I need your Blood Battle Mercenary Group to become the largest mercenary group in Qingshan Town."
Xiao Jian tapped the table lightly, producing a crisp sound.
Fei Lei frowned. The other two mercenary leaders were strong; handling them wouldn't be easy.
"Mu She and Gan Mu have already been dealt with by me.
You may now take over the Wolf-Head Mercenary Group's remaining members. Their Na Rings are under your
pillow....consider the contents a welcome gift."
"Good. I have other matters, so I will leave for a while.
When I return, I hope, Fei Lei, that you can show me results worthy of my satisfaction."
Having said this lightly, Xiao Jian stood, pushing open the door.
"Farewell, Fei Lei!"
He smiled faintly, then activated the Purple Cloud Wings from his back.
With a flap, he soared into the sky.
"Dou… Dou Wang?"
Fei Lei's eyes nearly popped out at the sight of the wings, but feeling Xiao Jian's aura....strong, yet not terrifying—left him puzzled.
Indeed, it was the aura of a Dou Shi, but those wings…
With Fei Lei's experience, he could not immediately identify the flying technique.
The more he thought, the more confused he became. In the end, he gave up.
"Send men!"
After a moment, Fei Lei stepped outside and shouted.
He needed to see the situation at the Wolf-Head Mercenary Group firsthand!
Utan City, Central Square
A day earlier, the Canaan Academy enrollment team had arrived in Utan City.
Though stationed there, the enrollment covered Utan City and surrounding cities.
Thus, despite the vastness of the square, it was filled with a massive crowd.
The noise was overwhelming. Countless young people were pushing desperately inward.
Even with the city lord's troops maintaining order, the scene was chaotic.
Xiao Yan sighed, looking at the throngs helplessly. Clearly, smooth passage through the examination was unlikely today.
Moreover, third brother had not yet returned.
The Canaan Academy team would stay in Utan City for several days, but missing the timing could be troublesome!
Beside him, Xiao Yu shared the same concern, brow furrowed, expression serious.
"Forget it. I'll lead you in first. When Xiao Jian returns, I'll take him to Instructor Ruolin."
A moment later, Xiao Yu shook his head, addressing Xiao Yan, Xun'er, Xiao Mei, and Xiao Ning
"Follow me!"
Leading them to the back of the square, they found fully armed troops forming two to three layers of protective cordons, weapons gleaming under sunlight.
Xiao Yu scanned the formidable soldiers, then approached alone, pulling a jade-green badge from his pocket.
Whispering briefly to a seemingly officer-like soldier, he then waved Xiao Yan and the others forward.
The middle-aged officer's eyes swept over them sharply. After a moment, he waved his hand: "Proceed!"
The clanking of armor echoed as a path just wide enough for them opened.
"Let's go!"
Xiao Yu smiled, beckoning the group forward.
As Xiao Yan stepped out, he paused, sensing something behind in the crowd.
Xiao Jian's figure had yet to appear, but his laughter rang out first:
"Xiao Yu, aren't you going to wait a little longer?"
