Recruiting Members

Inside Bao An Hall, everyone gathered together.
The atmosphere instantly became somewhat heavy.
"So, you were also saved by Lu Tian Ba and then came here?"
After a moment, Di Wu Huo Rong slowly asked.
"Yes."
Mei Jiu Qu said coldly; as adversaries, he held no good feelings towards Di Wu Huo Rong.
"Everyone, do not concern yourselves with how you arrived."
Fu Yuan He clapped his hands and said, "Since you are here, you are family.
I do not wish to speak too many superfluous words.
Here, I will only say one thing: at Workshop Number 65, as long as I, Fu Yuan He, have a piece of meat to eat, then you will also have a piece of meat to eat; you will absolutely not be lacking."
"Workshop Master Fu, I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it."
Xu Jian Yi spoke.
"Feel free to ask."
Fu Yuan He said casually.
You may ask, but whether I answer is up to me.
"As far as I know, the Heavenly Palace does not have a custom of recruiting rebels. Is what you are doing not against the rules?"
Xu Jian Yi asked, "Will the superiors disapprove of them joining Workshop Number 65?"
"What do you know?"
Fu Yuan He said, "I am the Workshop Master of Workshop Number 65; I decide.
This is the authority of a workshop master; you were not in the Mystic Treasure Division before, so you do not know."
Xu Jian Yi still harbored some doubts in his heart; he indeed did not understand the operating rules of the Mystic Treasure Division.
But he always felt that something was amiss.
"Our Mystic Treasure Division's status is inherently higher than that of your local Heavenly Palace. Our rank is high, understand?
Things you cannot do, we can do. People you cannot accept, we can accept.
This is the Mystic Treasure Division!"
Fu Yuan He said with full confidence.
Xu Jian Yi was stunned for a moment, even feeling a little overwhelmed by favor.
He now even felt that being able to join the Mystic Treasure Division was a blessing cultivated from a previous life.
"Sir, so from now on, I am a member of Workshop Number 65?"
Xu Jian Yi said weakly.
"Precisely, alive, a member of Workshop Number 65; dead, a ghost of Workshop Number 65!"
Fu Yuan He affirmed.
"When will Xu Lu return?
How exactly are our duties divided?
The outside world is in chaos now; we can't just wait here doing nothing, can we?"
Mei Jiu Qu said with a hint of impatience.
In times of chaos, it was the perfect opportunity to rise.
Mei Jiu Qu had recently acquired an eighth-grade genuine magical treasure.
If he ventured out to fight now, he would absolutely have the chance to acquire another magical treasure.
Mei Jiu Qu watched this opportunity with eager eyes, truly unable to restrain himself.
"What do you intend to do?"
Xu Jian Yi blurted out unconsciously, his tone carrying a hint of questioning.
It was merely a habit from before; his identity had not yet fully shifted.
"What I intend to do, do I need to report to you?"
Mei Jiu Qu sneered, "You cannot control me now."
"I cannot control you?"
Xu Jian Yi was indignant.
A rebel, how could he not control him?
"We are all members of Workshop Number 65; you and I currently have no superior-subordinate relationship, except for the Workshop Master and Deputy Workshop Master, everyone else is equal."
Mei Jiu Qu said with a cold laugh.
"Stop bickering."
Fu Yuan He waved his hand, "We are all brothers; what is there to bicker about?"
He had a slight headache; why hadn't Xu Lu returned yet?
The people he had found seemed difficult to manage. Only Di Wu Huo Rong seemed a little more honest.
Fu Yuan He was truly not skilled at managing people; this task should inherently be given to Xu Lu.
"Mei Jiu Qu, your status is now extraordinary; there's no need to be like those rebels. Rest assured, you will not lack cultivation resources in the future."
Fu Yuan He knew Mei Jiu Qu's intentions; wasn't he just eager to go out and plunder?
As for plundering, doing a little occasionally was acceptable.
Our Workshop Number 65, after all, is a legitimate force; we cannot always engage in such low-level activities.
Mei Jiu Qu snorted, paying no attention.
He only trusted himself.
Until resources were in his hands, he would fundamentally not trust Fu Yuan He.
However, he now possessed a ninth-grade genuine magical treasure, so he was not lacking magical treasures for the time being.
As for medicinal elixirs, this Bao An Hall was a pharmacy, so he would not lack medicinal ingredients.
Thinking this way, staying here seemed like a good idea.
"Workshop Master, what exactly happened outside?"
Di Wu Huo Rong spoke.
He had been relentlessly pursued by Xu Jian Yi earlier, completely unaware of why Jiang Du City had fallen into chaos.
Xu Jian Yi also looked at Fu Yuan He with a curious expression.
He only knew now that great rebels from the Dragon Tiger Ranking had entered the city and were attacking the Heavenly Palace in Jiang Du.
He still did not know why this upheaval had occurred.
"Secret news: several Heavenly Palace clans rebelled against their superiors."
Fu Yuan He said casually, "But these matters have nothing to do with us; we just need to do our own work well.
Our Mystic Treasure Division's duty is to research and manufacture magical treasures; no matter who controls the Heavenly Palace, they cannot do without us."
Fu Yuan He dared not say that the Heavenly Palace Master was dead.
He feared that if these people heard it, they would all flee, which would be somewhat problematic.
Xu Jian Yi and Di Wu Huo Rong exchanged glances, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
Someone in the Heavenly Palace rebelled against their superiors?
"Is it really that strange?
The Heavenly Palace's system is in chaos; such a thing was bound to happen sooner or later."
Mei Jiu Qu said disdainfully.
In his view, the Heavenly Palace had no proper management whatsoever.
It was only because the Heavenly Palace's martial power was too high; otherwise, it would have collapsed long ago.
"Hmph! What do you know?"
Xu Jian Yi looked at Mei Jiu Qu with displeasure; a rebel, yet so eloquent.
If this were in the past, he would surely have apprehended Mei Jiu Qu and brought him to justice.
"I don't know?"
Mei Jiu Qu sneered, "Within ten years, if the Heavenly Palace does not collapse, it will be against heavenly principles."
Seeing the two about to argue, Di Wu Huo Rong hastily intervened to mediate.
"We are all in the same boat now; whether the Heavenly Palace collapses is not important. What is important is that our Workshop Number 65 of the Mystic Treasure Division must not collapse."
Di Wu Huo Rong said.
Fu Yuan He gave a thumbs-up, praising, "Well said!
Our Workshop Number 65 is different from the Heavenly Palace; we earn our living through our own abilities. No matter how the outside world changes, it will not affect us.
In fact, they will even have to come to us for help."
"Workshop Master Fu, I know the Mystic Treasure Division is important."
Xu Jian Yi said softly, "But I have never participated in the research and manufacture of magical treasures.
If it's about using them, then there's no problem, but how magical treasures are made, I truly know nothing about."
Fu Yuan He: "..."
How would I know what you can do?
You weren't recruited by me!
However, these words could only be thought in his heart, not spoken directly.
Fu Yuan He was also a talent; he smiled and said, "Brother Xu, you must not underestimate yourself.
As the saying goes, gold will always shine; now is your time to shine..."
Fu Yuan He prattled on for a while, making Xu Jian Yi's blood boil with excitement.
In reality, Fu Yuan He's words had no effect whatsoever.
Mei Jiu Qu sneered, while Di Wu Huo Rong remained impassive.
This excuse of Fu Yuan He's was useful for Xu Jian Yi.
But who were Mei Jiu Qu and Di Wu Huo Rong?
Both were not only grand managers but also rebels for many years.
As rebels, able to hide for many years in Jiang Du City, they were absolutely the elite among the elite.
Fu Yuan He was far from being able to deceive them.
-----------------
It wasn't until night fell that Xu Lu slowly and leisurely returned to Bao An Hall.
Seeing him return, everyone unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Fu Yuan He, unknowingly, had already come to regard Xu Lu as their center.
"You're finally back. If you hadn't returned, I wouldn't have been able to cope!"
Fu Yuan He pulled Xu Lu aside and whispered.
"Couldn't cope?"
Xu Lu said casually, "Rest assured, since they've arrived, they won't be able to leave."
"By the way, Workshop Master Fu, you couldn't even bring people back by yourself?"
Xu Lu looked at Fu Yuan He with doubt.
"Nonsense, I don't have any high-grade Mystic Cultivators to assist me; who could I defeat?"
Fu Yuan He said without any shame, "It's already good enough that I managed to return alive.
However, Xu Lu, you also have connections with the great rebel Lu Tian Ba?"
Fu Yuan He found Xu Lu increasingly unfathomable.
Every time he felt he could see through Xu Lu, he discovered something new about Xu Lu that he had never known before.
A great rebel from the Dragon Tiger Ranking actually personally helped Xu Lu to threaten people...
