However, given his current low cultivation, any Sixth or Seventh Rank expert could give him this sense of depth and mystery.

Curious, he asked, “Miss Qianqian, I wonder if you could let me see your archery and Sword Skill?”

He needed to assess her capabilities before he could arrange her position within the sect.

And not just anyone could live up to the title of “Sword and Bow Dual Expert.”

Ji Qianqian bowed with a smile, her voice crisp and clear, “Of course!

But shooting at ordinary targets is boring.

Fortunately, there’s a flock of Silver Winged Sky Swallows in the sky, please watch.”

She actually unslung a Long Hunting Bow from behind her and, in the flick of a finger, fired five arrows in succession towards the sky.

Chu Xisheng looked up and was soon taken aback.

Indeed, far above, about twenty thousand zhang in the Cloud Sky, there was a small flock of Silver Winged Sky Swallows.

With the strength of Eighth Rank, the Silver Winged Sky Swallows were not only fast flyers, but they also had strong Reflexes and were quite agile.

The leading one, with wings tinged with faint gold, had a cultivation nearing Seventh Rank.

Even with Chu Xisheng’s eyesight, he could barely catch the trajectory of these demon birds.

The arrows from Ji Qianqian arrived in an instant.

The speed of her arrows far surpassed modern bullets, and at eighteen thousand zhang high, they underwent transformations, altering their trajectory like modern missiles, leaving the Silver Winged Sky Swallows no room to escape; she shot down six with her five arrows.

Two of them were struck by a single arrow passing through both!

After lowering her bow, Ji Qianqian proudly said, “This Hunting Bow, under Seventh Rank, is an heirloom left by my father and actually not quite to my liking.

If the Hall Master is willing to provide me with a better bow and three War Maps, my archery can be much stronger.

Any Seventh Rank not on the Qingyun List, I can kill with a single arrow within three hundred zhang.

Those below Sixth Rank, ranked below eightieth on the Hero List, I can pin down with my archery, rendering them immobile.

As for my Sword Skill, please choose an opponent for me, Hall Master.”

Chu Xisheng was amazed, thinking to himself that he had truly found a treasure today.

In this small West Mountain, to find such a Divine Shooter?

“No need,” he said, shaking his head with a smile on his face.

“With Miss Ji’s archery alone, her strength is enough to place her within the top three positions of West Mountain Hall.”

Chu Xisheng shook his head with a beaming smile.

“I am willing to offer a monthly salary of a thousand taels to recruit Miss Ji into our ranks.

Additionally, I’ll provide thirty-five thousand taels from the sect’s public funds, secured with a ten percent interest, to procure a Sixth Rank War Bow and two War Maps for you.

Considering you have yet established any accomplishments, it’s not appropriate to promote you directly to altar master.

I would like to inconveniencely ask Miss Ji to start as my guard.

And this young man here can start as an incense master in charge of ten people.

What do you two think of this arrangement?”

Ji Qianqian raised her eyebrows, a gleam of joy in her eyes, “We siblings understand the rules; this is exactly what we wish!”

※※※※

Chu Xisheng was very enthusiastic about the Ji siblings, showing great care, and even personally arranged for their accommodation and introduced them to the Tangkou through Lu Pingyuan.

However, when he walked into the back hall, his expression fell slightly and he looked thoughtfully at the door.

There was something odd about the Ji siblings.

How could such remarkable individuals remain obscure?

Their identities seemed to check out, too.

The Ji siblings had grown up in Ji Family Village, and if they were snitches planted by others, it would be difficult to deceive the sentinels of West Mountain Hall.

He had also hinted to Lu Pingyuan to find a way to thoroughly investigate the siblings’ background.

Chu Xisheng then shook his head and walked into his room, taking out all ninety-five thousand taels of silver notes hidden in a secret compartment beneath his bed.

Chu Yunyun watched quietly from behind, arms crossed, “It seems that Zuo Qingyun is in a lot of trouble?”

“I need to take a long trip!” sighed Chu Xisheng, while simultaneously waving the silver notes in his hand.

“This money can’t be kept safe anymore.”

This was originally the fund he had saved for cultivation for himself and Chu Yunyun.

Chu Yunyun, however, didn’t care.

They now could draw twelve thousand taels from West Mountain Hall’s public funds every month.

Once the canal opens, their income would increase even more.

She nodded slightly, “This is the obligation of friendship.

But what do you plan to do about the matters inside the sect?”

“That’s up to you now!”

Touching his nose, Chu Xisheng said with a wry smile, “Shangguan Shen Hao and the Sheen Family are plotting their counterattack every moment, without you, I cannot rest easy leaving our base undefended.

And those bandits from West Mountain, the moment they are forced out is the moment when the Sheen Family attempts to strike back.

However, they are manageable, the key concern is so many traitors within our ranks, a single slip-up and we could face disaster.

Just now, the Sword Inspection Envoy told me we have at least nineteen traitors within our hall; it’s maddening.”

“That many?”

Chu Yunyun was also shocked and then troubled.

Indeed, without a powerful figure in the hall, it would be hard to quell these Demons and Ghosts.

“Then take Lu Luanti with you.”

Without Lu Luanti’s company, she couldn’t be at ease about Chu Xisheng’s safety.

“No need, she has her eyes on the Rebellious God Flag.

She might agree, but she’d be reluctant.

Besides, to ensure the safety of West Mountain’s hunters, I must borrow her strength,” laughed Chu Xisheng.

“I’ll take that Ji Qianqian with me.

Also, the money in my hands can buy my safety.”

“Ji Qianqian?”

Chu Yunyun also looked out the window.

She had also seen Ji Qianqian’s archery earlier.

She pondered, “This woman is powerful; thirty-five thousand taels can get her a good bow and two potent War Maps, but can we really trust her?”
