Chapter 591: Chapter 591: The Tactic of Entanglement

Recruiting Fang Bai to serve as a "Dragon Guard" Instructor was a decision made by Long Jingtian and his granddaughter, the Dragon Maiden, after they personally witnessed the discussions on martial arts between Fang Bai and Shaolin’s Master Xuan Nan at Shaolin, and even helped Master Xuan Nan advance in ranking, extending his life by decades.

For Long Jingtian and the Dragon Maiden, that was nothing short of a miracle.

They believed that if Fang Bai would accept the offer to become an Instructor for "Dragon Guard," then those Dragon Guard members whose cultivation had reached a bottleneck could also create miracles under his guidance.

"It’s not that I’m unwilling, but I simply can’t split myself into two!"

Fang Bai sighed and shook his head, saying, "You should know that I’m interning at Yanjing Hospital, where I’m busy with a constant stream of patients from morning to night. I really can’t take on the position of Instructor! You should find someone more capable."

Seeing Fang Bai’s polite refusal, Long Jingtian couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

But the Dragon Maiden was not willing to give up, saying, "Being a ’Dragon Guard’ Instructor won’t take up much of your time! Even if you could spare just a day or two per month to guide us, that would be enough!"

She paused for a moment, exchanged a glance with her grandfather, Long Jingtian, and then continued, "Fang Bai, as long as you’re willing to take on the role of ’Dragon Guard’ Instructor, your remuneration will be doubled, and you will also receive more privileges. For instance, you will have significant commanding authority over ’Dragon Guard,’ like being able to mobilize many of Dragon Guard’s resources, and even..."

The Dragon Maiden listed out the privileges Fang Bai would have as the Instructor—in effect, by accepting the position, Fang Bai would control almost half of the "Dragon Guard," wielding power almost on par with Long Jingtian himself, the leader.

To sway Fang Bai, Long Jingtian and his granddaughter did not hesitate to offer such generous terms, which clearly showed how much they valued him.

No wonder, with Fang Bai’s combined expertise in medicine and martial arts and his formidable strength. With him on board, "Dragon Guard’s" influence among the world’s seven meta-human organizations would undoubtedly increase significantly.

In the eyes of Long Jingtian and his granddaughter, any condition would be worthwhile if Fang Bai would agree to become an Instructor of "Dragon Guard," and Long Jingtian would not hesitate to abdicate his position as leader and hand over the reins to Fang Bai if required.

After all, "Dragon Guard" was not privately owned; it was established by the Huaxia government, created to protect the citizens of Huaxia.

As she spoke, the Dragon Maiden’s beautiful eyes were fixed intently on Fang Bai’s face, trying to capture any changes in his expression that might reveal his thoughts, so she could use this information to formulate her next attempt at persuasion.

However, Fang Bai maintained an indifferent expression throughout, his facial expressions giving no clue to his inner thoughts, which left the Dragon Maiden feeling helpless.

"Fang Bai, will you or will you not take the position of ’Dragon Guard’ Instructor? Say something!"

The Dragon Maiden spoke at length until her mouth was dry and her tongue parched. Seeing that Fang Bai remained non-committal, she stomped her foot and said in a petulant voice.

She was a stunning beauty with a spirited charm, and her light show of annoyance added a touch of allure. Fang Bai looked at her and his heart couldn’t help but stir.

"What would you do if I said I’m not willing?"

Fang Bai looked at the Dragon Maiden and asked.

"Me?"

The Dragon Maiden’s eyes darted around as if recalling something. She suddenly giggled and said, "Then I would have no choice but to employ the old trick of the ’nagging’ technique again!"

Fang Bai gave a bitter smile and said, "I knew you would say that..."

In order to persuade Fang Bai to join the "Dragon Guard," the Dragon Maiden had given up all her other pursuits and followed him every day, making such a nuisance of herself that he finally had no choice but to agree and become a member of the "Dragon Guard."

Fang Bai knew that the Dragon Maiden was extremely stubborn and if he didn’t agree this time to take on the role of an instructor for the "Dragon Guard," there was no telling how she would pester him next.

As for the Dragon Maiden, Fang Bai had come to think of her as a friend. He couldn’t hit her or scold her, so what else could he do but give in to her request?

Moreover, since he was already a member of the "Dragon Guard," and essentially comrades-in-arms with the other members, taking some time to give them pointers didn’t seem like it would take much effort.

"Alright, considering such generous and tempting conditions, I accept your offer. But you must fulfill the promised conditions without fail, or I’ll bail at any time!"

Fang Bai sighed, his face the picture of reluctance.

To be an instructor for the "Dragon Guard" was an honor many yearned for and could not obtain, yet here was Fang Bai, looking as if he accepted the position with great reluctance. Anyone else speaking like this might have found themselves slapped away by Long Jingtian a long time ago.

However, with Fang Bai’s strength being undeniable, Long Jingtian naturally wouldn’t dare lay a hand on him — otherwise, it would be uncertain who would be sent flying!

"Fantastic!"

Seeing Fang Bai agree, Long Jingtian and the Dragon Maiden were overjoyed.

"Take this with you!"

As if worried Fang Bai might change his mind, Long Jingtian immediately stuffed an ID into his hand.

The ID had prominent words like "Dragon Guard Instructor" and "Heaven Group" on it, clearly prepared in advance, showing that Long Jingtian had long intended to hire Fang Bai as an instructor for the "Dragon Guard."

With the new ID in hand, Fang Bai’s previous Earth Group membership officially became invalid.

Now that he was a "Dragon Guard" instructor, it seemed only proper to meet the other "Dragon Guard" members, so led by Long Jingtian and the Dragon Maiden, Fang Bai followed them to a vast indoor training ground located behind the manor.

This indoor training ground, built specifically for "Dragon Guard" members, was as large as two football fields and could accommodate hundreds of people practicing martial arts simultaneously.

Around the training ground, a series of adjoining terraced houses were built. These were for members who had grown up in the "Dragon Guard" and served as their living and cultivation quarters.

Other "Dragon Guard" members from various Ancient Martial Sects and Prominent Clans had a lot of freedom. They could choose to live there or elsewhere; they were under no obligation as long as they could promptly convene at the "Dragon Guard" whenever called upon.

When Fang Bai entered this indoor training ground with Long Jingtian and the Dragon Maiden, he saw dozens of "Dragon Guard" members scattered about the place, diligently practicing their martial arts.

Punches howled through the air, leg silhouettes appeared densely packed, and the shimmering of blades and swords were visible, accompanied by intermittent roaring and shouting. Bricks and stones occasionally cracked and shattered under the martial artists’ strikes, scattering debris in all directions.

And from within those adjoining terraced houses, waves of energy fluctuations could be felt; Fang Bai guessed that some "Dragon Guard" members were inside, behind closed doors, cultivating their techniques.

The houses had excellent soundproofing so that martial artists could cultivate their techniques without being disturbed by external noise.
