Chapter 13 A twists and turns
"Master!"
Lin Zhishan saluted an old man in shabby clothes but with a handsome appearance.
“Has the candidate been selected?” The old man was in a good mood and asked casually.
"You have chosen, here is the roster!" He said and handed over several volumes of jade albums.
"Master is in a good mood today!" Lin Zhishan said with a smile as he looked at the old man who was checking carefully.
"Haha, I met an interesting friend, who looks like you when you were young!" The old man laughed.
Actually, what outsiders don’t know is that Lin Zhishan’s cultivation qualifications are average, with 21 points of fire attribute spiritual root sensitivity, barely reaching the middle level.
"Could it be that he is also a boy who refuses to accept his fate?" Lin Zhishan was surprised and said with interest.
"It's true that I don't accept my fate. Although my qualifications are inferior, my character is excellent and I am quite committed to the Tao!" The old man nodded, as if he remembered something from the past.
"It seems that Master has taken a fancy to this person!"
The old man smiled but did not answer, and continued to lower his head to check.
“Huh?”
“That kid was not selected,” the old man suddenly let out a sigh.
I then searched for it on another roster, and soon found Zhou Xun’s name.
Look at the record above.
"Miaofu Pavilion's firing of handymen is very interesting." The old man showed an interesting expression.
As he said that, he handed the roster to Lin Zhishan.
Lin Zhishan took it and took a look, and then smiled.
"Master, it seems that I have offended someone. Miaofu Pavilion is a store as famous as ours in Hongyefang!"
"I will arrange for someone to investigate later!"
The old man nodded.
"Okay, let's find out who this kid offended!"
"By the way, Master, shall I add this kid to the list this time?" Lin Zhishan asked.
"There is no need for this, just...!" The old man said in a message.
Lin Zhishan glanced at his master in surprise.
“Expanding enrollment by so much?”
“Yeah, let’s announce it.”
“Yes!”
Zhou Xun is the same as others, After registering, we waited in the square.
After staying for less than two hours, Lin Zhishan returned to the high platform.
Lin Zhishan first saluted everyone, and then said:
“Thank you for your love for our Danbao Pavilion. For this apprenticeship recruitment, there are actually eighty-three people who signed up. There are as many as 327 people recruited for military service!”
“After discussing with Master, I have decided to expand the number of candidates for this recruitment.”
“As for the candidates for apprenticeship, We have decided to expand to 30 people. After half a year of training and assessment, we will select the best and the number of people admitted will be expanded to 15 people at the same time.”
"Of course, those who fail the assessment can stay in Danbao Pavilion if they wish!"
"As for the Spiritual Contract servants, we have decided to expand to fifty people!"
"Details The list will be announced here later!”
“Thank you all!”
After saying that, Lin Zhishan bowed to everyone around.
Everyone in the audience was overjoyed after hearing this.
The expansion of personnel means that your chances of being selected are greatly increased.
The same goes for Zhou Xun.
"With the guarantee from the manager and this expansion of enrollment, I will definitely be selected!"
The same is true for the three brothers of the Wei family.
"Brother, we are very happy today, why don't you and I go to Yuexiang Tower and book a spiritual banquet, firstly, to celebrate for the third brother," Wei Shangren said happily.
"That's fine! Big brother will be the host today!" Wei Shangli was also in a good mood.
My third brother successfully joined the Danbao Pavilion and became an alchemist in the future. My plan to revitalize the family has made some progress.
“Remember to ask Shang Lin to manage things, thanks to him today!” Wei Shangren continued.
Guanshi Lin fell in love with Zhou Xun and made him have a good impression of this "relative". Looking at his second brother with a happy face, Wei Shangli was furious and hit him hard several times:
"Don't cause trouble for me in the future, and practice your talisman-making skills with peace of mind!"
"By the way, Manager Lin must keep his mouth shut today!"
"Definitely!" "Wei Shangren rubbed his head and agreed.
He knew that because of his own affairs, his eldest brother suffered a lot of blood.
Just as he was talking, the crowd suddenly surged.
On the high platform, a middle-aged man dressed as a steward stepped onto the stage, holding a roll of roster in his hand. It was Wei Shangli's uncle-in-law, the chief steward of Danbao Pavilion.
“It’s about to be announced!”
Someone shouted.
The monks pushed forward one after another.
The middle-aged steward glanced at the people in the audience and said:
"I am Lin Ruochang, the chief steward of Danbao Pavilion. I will announce the results of this recruitment meeting!" After speaking, he paused. He unfolded the roster in his hand and read it out.
"The people selected for the selection of alchemy apprentices are as follows:"
"The first one, Jinyun Lane of Hongyefang - Wei Daoyou of Wei Yan"
"The second one is Gou Houqing .”
".Wang Erniu."
"I was selected, I was selected!"
As soon as the middle-aged manager finished speaking, a simple and honest young man dressed as a farm boy was talking happily and incoherently. Yelling wildly.
The people around him did not laugh at this at all, but looked envious.
They know that if you are selected as an alchemy apprentice in Danbao Pavilion, even if you have to take an exam six months later, you will be able to stay even if you are the worst.
Moreover, Master Yunku's reputation for treating his subordinates well is famous throughout Hongyefang.
Zhou Xun also looked at the young man with a kind face and celebrated him in his heart.
Looking at this person’s appearance, I guess he doesn’t live a very good life on weekdays, but to be selected now is like leaping over the dragon’s gate.
The Wei brothers were standing not far from Zhou Xun, listening to Manager Lin's roll call on the stage.
Soon, the sixth one read the words "Wei Shangyi".
"Haha, third brother, you have indeed been selected. I will call you Alchemist Wei from now on!" Wei Shangren said loudly, with excitement in his eyes.
When people around him heard the words "selected" and "alchemist", they didn't know that this person had been selected as an alchemy apprentice, and they all started to compliment him.
Seeing this, Wei Shangren laughed loudly, as if he was the one selected at this time.
Suddenly, with sharp eyes, he glanced and saw a familiar figure, it was Zhou Xun.
So he hurriedly pushed aside the crowd and walked over.
"Brother Zhou is still here, so he must have been selected, hahaha!" Wei Shangren knew that due to the manipulation of Manager Lin, the chief manager of Danbao Pavilion, Zhou Xun had no chance of being selected.
Hearing this, Zhou Xun felt no emotion in his heart.
He has already recognized the person on the stage, it is the middle-aged steward who signed up today.
"With the personal promise from the chief steward of Danbao Pavilion, I should have been selected this time!" Zhou Xun thought to himself.
So he glanced at Wei Shangren and said lightly:
"I am lucky to have gained it, but I have lost my life!"
Looking at Zhou Xun's calm expression, Wei Shangren was filled with anger, and regardless of his brother's explanation, he came closer and sneered. He said softly:
"Brother Zhou doesn't know, but the big manager of Danbao Pavilion on the stage is my eldest brother's wife and uncle. He personally promised me that he will definitely defeat you!"
Hearing this, Zhou Xun frowned slightly.
This matter was indeed beyond his expectation.
Unexpectedly, the kind-faced middle-aged manager turned out to be the uncle-in-law of the eldest son of the Wei family.
What a coincidence!
Wei Shangren caught Zhou Xun’s frowning expression and laughed loudly:
“I’m lucky to get it, but I’m going to lose my life, hahaha, if you go against me, I will never let you get ahead. , this is your life!”
“Brother Wei, what a trick!”
The matter had reached this point, and it was irreversible. Zhou Xun immediately began to think about his next retreat.
"With these Wei brothers here, Hongyefang is no longer a good place for me. Maybe it's time to consider leaving!"
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhou Xun heard a startled voice.
“No. 29, Hongyefang and Green Willow Alley—Zhou Xun!”
