360: Chapter 359: Brother, Would You Like to Become a Guard?

Unlike the last time he left Heavenly Mountain Country, there were no gloomy Yin Xuan Rivers here.

Instead, there was a city in front of him, and behind the city lay countless mountains.

“As long as I pass through the mountains, I can reach Dragon Star Strong Country,” Lin Xuan folded his map and headed towards the city.

“Recruiting now, recruiting now!”

As soon as he entered the city, he was engulfed in such shouting.

Lin Xuan became curious when he found it was all merchant caravans gathering people.

“Are warriors really in such short supply here?” Lin Xuan wondered.

“Young warrior, are you interested in being a guard?” a teenager, around sixteen or seventeen, grabbed a big man walking ahead of him and said with a smile.

“Our Situ Guild needs strongmen like you the most!”

“Brother, brother, come join me!” said a young man with small eyes rapidly, “Dragon Gate Guild, top three in the industry, powerful strength, substantial rewards!”

Soon, the big man was dragged off by the people from the Dragon Gate Guild.

“Sigh, the Situ Family is in a pitiful state this time, not recruiting a single martial artist.”

“Yeah, without strong martial artists, it’s impossible to cross the forest, let alone reach Dragon Star Strong Country!”

“By the way, don’t act alone lately.

I’ve heard that the Da Feng Mountain Range is rife with Demon Beasts recently.

It’s better not to go in.”

“I was wondering why these guilds are frantically recruiting lately; turns out it’s another beast riot.”

…

Listening on the side, Lin Xuan learned a bit.

“Demon Beasts rampant?

A beast riot?” He frowned slightly, this was not good news for him.

“Perhaps I should join a guild as well, at least to have some mutual support,” Lin Xuan looked ahead.

He walked over slowly, curiously observing everything around him.

But when people realized they couldn’t see through Lin Xuan’s cultivation, they all lost interest.

He couldn’t help it, Lin Xuan looked young, rather thin, and his cultivation level was unclear, definitely not the look of an expert.

No one approached him; instead, other martial artists were being keenly sought after.

Lin Xuan smiled bitterly, wondering whether he should demonstrate some of his strength.

Just then, the weak-looking young man approached him again.

“Would you be interested in being a guard, sir?”

“Sure, what does the job of a guard entail?” Lin Xuan asked with a smile.

“What?”

Joy appeared on the young man’s face as he rapidly explained: “We have to go to Dragon Star Strong Country this time, and we need bodyguards to ensure our safety on the way.”

“Don’t worry, sir, the remuneration will definitely be satisfactory.

As long as we sell our cargo, you’ll surely get your pay!”

Lin Xuan understood; it seemed that the Situ Guild was in dire straits, lacking both people and money.

“Ha ha, Situ Jing is really crazy, starting to recruit people haphazardly.”

“Exactly, look at that guy’s build, so frail, he’d probably be blown away by a gust of wind!”

“I’m saying, Situ Jing, why don’t you just sell your goods to us?

You won’t be able to make it anyway.”

“Yeah, for the sake of being in the same trade, how about a ten percent discount?”

People from other guilds began to tease and mock, while the boy named Situ Jing turned red in the face.

“Your name is Situ Jing?” asked Lin Xuan, it sounded like a girl’s name.

“Yeah.”

Situ Jing nodded briskly, like a pecking chick.

“Alright, I’ll accept,” Lin Xuan said with a smile, patting the young man’s shoulder.

“Really?” Situ Jing’s head shot up, his eyes filled with excited light.

“Come with me, sir, I’ll take you to our guild!”

With that, he began pulling Lin Xuan away.

“Darn, that kid’s lost his mind, he actually dared to accept?”

“He’s just showing off, once he finds out about the Situ Family’s plight, he’ll definitely run away!”

“Forget it, such a person, even if he enters the Da Feng Mountain Range, will just end up as Demon Beast fodder.”

The group scoffed and shook their heads in disdain.

Lin Xuan followed Situ Jing to the front of a shop, where Situ Jing excitedly ran inside, while Lin Xuan looked around.

The so-called guild was actually an organization that transported goods between two countries.

Because it was a border town, the whole street was lined with guild organizations, but the Situ Family’s shop was clearly much more dilapidated.

“Brother Lin, come on in!” Situ Jing eagerly pulled Lin Xuan inside.

Inside, the room was dim, and some of the furniture was old.

By the desk in the front, a pale-faced middle-aged man kept coughing.

“Dad, this is Brother Lin Xuan!”

The middle-aged man lifted his head, gave Lin Xuan a close look, then showed a disappointed expression.

“Young man, Jing’er doesn’t know any better and has troubled you.”

The middle-aged man gasped, “Please, just go back.”

“What, I can’t be a guard?” Lin Xuan asked.

“To tell you the truth, the Da Feng Mountain Range is extremely dangerous at the moment; we wouldn’t be risking our lives going in if we hadn’t already set the date for delivery with Dragon Star Country.”

“There’s really no need for you to go in and lose your life.”

“Since it’s dangerous, then why not change the date?” Lin Xuan wondered.

“In our line of work, credibility comes first; once a date is set, it cannot be changed.”

“Besides, this business is high-risk by nature; going earlier or later makes no difference,” the middle-aged man said with difficulty, then suddenly coughed twice.

“Boss, I was actually planning to go to Dragon Star Strong Country myself; why don’t we make the trip together?”

Lin Xuan decided to stay.

“As for my strength…” He smiled slightly, “dealing with average Melt Spirit Realm Martial Artists is still no problem.”

Having said that, he released a strand of Sword Intent, filling the entire room with a piercing aura.

Feeling this aura, both the middle-aged man and Situ Jing trembled slightly.

“Fantastic, there’s still hope for the Situ Family!” The middle-aged man exclaimed with tears rolling down his face.

Situ Jing’s little face also turned red with excitement.

“Alright, I will accompany you and see if we can recruit any other martial artists,” Lin Xuan suggested.

Then he and Situ Jing hit the streets once more, seeking to enlist martial artists.

“Eh, that kid is back?”

“I told you, there’s no way he would stay with the Situ Family!”

“That’s not right, why is Situ Jing following him?”

A bunch of people were dumbfounded, then scoffed, “What an idiot!”

Lin Xuan ignored these people and carefully observed the passersby; for safety’s sake, he needed a helper.

“Young man, are you recruiting martial artists here?” a big man approached.

“Sorry, we’re not recruiting any trash,” Lin Xuan shook his head.

The person who had come only had the strength of the Spirit Sea Seventh Layer Heaven, which was simply not enough.

“Motherfucker, you’re asking for it, calling me trash!” The big man grew angry, winding up his fist to strike.

Situ Jing was so frightened she hid behind Lin Xuan, while the surrounding martial artists looked on eagerly for the show.

“Haha, wonder if he’ll be killed with one punch?”

“Possibly, who told him to be so weak?”

Just as the fist was about to hit Lin Xuan, a large hand suddenly stretched out behind the big man and flung him away.

Thud!

The trouble-making big man was thrown over ten meters away and slammed into the ground.

“Hey hey, are you two okay?” a deep and powerful voice rang out.

Lin Xuan looked up to find a young man nearly two meters tall standing in front of him, now wearing a simple smile.

“We’re, we’re fine…” Situ Jing nervously replied.

Lin Xuan smiled, “Thanks for lending a hand.”

He looked at the sturdy young man in front of him and, with his exceptional Soul Power, he could sense a strong force contained within the youth.

He even felt a slight danger himself.

Someone who could make him feel this way was definitely not ordinary.

“Interested in being a bodyguard?” Lin Xuan asked with a smile.
