Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, “Alright, let’s stop talking about me. I took over this job, naturally I would do it properly. What about you? What position did the Clan Head assign to you?”
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Chen Feng showed an excited expression. Then he said, “The Clan Head called me over for my future assignment. The Clan Head knows that I’m familiar with the affairs of the Full Moon Pavilion, so he assigned me to the main branch as the third shopkeeper. Although the position seemed lower, the Clan Head said that if I do a good job, I could become the Chief Shopkeeper of the Full Moon Pavilion.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “That’s good. But that would mean that you would leave Roaring Flame City. What about the Blackwood Group?”
Chen Feng smiled and said, “Rest assured, the Blackwood Group’s matters won’t be ignored. Although I’m leaving Roaring Flame City, my status is different to before. As long as the people of the Long Clan know this, even if I leave, they will take care of the Blackwood Group, even better than before. Don’t forget, the Blackwood Group isn’t only on good terms with me, they have connections to you too. You are now working in Coiling Dragon City. For us, being able to work in Coiling Dragon City is an enviable thing. This is because you can get in close contact with the Long Clan.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “That’s good. Then I’m relieved. I’m afraid I won’t have much time to return to Roaring Flame City in the future. I only hope that the Blackwood Group can get better and better. Right, this is for you. Help me hand it over to Liu Wei. If the Blackwood Group needs us in the future, they can contact us.”
Chen Feng looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Zhao, I really admire you. The reason Brother Liu Wei founded the Blackwood Group is because he was born in Blackwood Alley. He wants to be of service to his community. What about you? Why are you helping them?”
Zhao Hai sighed and said, “Maybe it’s just something I want to do. The True Spirit Realm is full of people who take advantage of any situation, and they only pay attention to their own family or sect. For their friends or those who helped them, very few people would think of doing something in return. What Gang Leader Liu is doing, in my opinion, is really amazing. So I’m willing to lend him a hand.”
Chen Feng became silent when he heard Zhao Hai. Although he wasn’t a cultivator, he was someone who came in contact with cultivators daily. To be honest, when it comes to morals, cultivators seemed to have a certain lack of it. But there was no point in changing this. The True Spirit Realm was the world of cultivators. They ruled everything.
From what Chen Feng could hear, although Zhao Hai couldn’t change this, he was making his own effort. There weren’t a lot of people like Liu Wei in the True Spirit Realm. Moreover, in the eyes of the other cultivators, Liu Wei’s kind were a group of fools.
On the other hand, Zhao Hai thought differently. He appreciated Liu Wei’s efforts. Therefore, he used his advantages to help the Blackwood Group. At this moment, Chen Feng began to see that Zhao Hai was a bigger person than he thought.
Long Zhan wasn’t a person who liked to waste their breath, he nodded and said, “That’s fine. If you joined the Long Clan and you bring your family here, it might not look good for the face of the Tyrant Blade Sect. You can go. Someone will arrange a place for you to stay in. An identity token will also be delivered to you.”
Zhao Hai bowed to Long Zhan before leaving. Looking at Zhao Hai’s back, Long Zhan couldn’t help but think. Although he had only met Zhao Hai twice, he knew everything that he had done. Long Zhan couldn’t deny that Zhao Hai was a genius. At the same time, he was also a killer. Long Zhan doesn’t really know whether it was a good idea for Zhao Hai to teach the children of the clan.
However, Long Tian admired Zhao Hai. And Long Zhan respects Long Tian’s vision. Over the years, the amount of talent that Long Tian brought to the clan was quite substantial. These talents looked like wastes in the eyes of others, but Long Tian saw their shining points and recommended them to the Long Clan. And these people have proven themselves in their respective fields.
When it comes to spotting unpolished gems, nobody in the Long Clan was comparable to Long Tian. Long Tian’s admiration for Zhao Hai was one of the major points that caused Long Zhan to consider Zhao Hai’s appointment.
When Zhao Hai left Long Zhan’s study, someone walked over. Then they cupped their fist and said, “Mister Zhao Hai? Please, come with me sir.” Zhao Hai also cupped his fist at the man and followed him out.
Now that Zhao Hai has been appointed to a position, he naturally had to leave the Long Clan mansion. Long Zhan arranged a small courtyard for Zhao Hai to live in Coiling Dragon City. The courtyard wasn’t very large, but it wouldn’t have any issues housing around 20 people. There was a small martial arts area in the courtyard that could accommodate 50 people at the same time. The martial arts area was prepared for Zhao Hai so he could teach his students.
Zhao Hai looked around the courtyard and nodded. He was very satisfied with the place. Zhao Hai released several robots to clean up and put up useful furniture.
A person also arrived to deliver Zhao Hai’s identity token. This identity card also allows Zhao Hai to enter the Long Clan’s library.
Naturally, Zhao Hai could only enter the low-level area of the library. Even then, Zhao Hai wasn’t planning to head there immediately. It wasn’t necessary right now. What he wanted to see was how many students the Long Clan would arrange for him to teach.
After resting inside the courtyard for the rest of the day, early the next morning, someone was knocking on the door to Zhao Hai’s courtyard. Then a robot opened the door. When the people outside saw the robot, they couldn’t help but scream with excitement. Then they surrounded the robot.
Looking at the little figures surrounding the robot, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but smile bitterly. None of these children were over five years old. The youngest among them was only three. Although people in the True Spirit Realm matured early, three-year old children were only as mature as seven-eight-year-olds back on earth. Children of this age were very hard to handle. It seemed like Long Tian had prepared a difficult problem for Zhao Hai.
However, Zhao Hai wasn’t planning to give up. He looked at the little kids and then clapped his hands, “Alright, kids. Come here. You’ll play with those robots in a while. As long as you study properly, you can play. Alright?”
