Chapter 1123 Join
"What? You've been assassinated?" Yun Yi's voice immediately rose. "Where are you now? I'll come pick you up right now."

"Uh, I just got out of the police station." Good, I didn't disappoint him. "But you don't need to pick me up, right?"

"No, Your Excellency Shi Jia, you are in great danger right now. Those who wanted to assassinate you will not give up easily. They will definitely send assassins again as soon as possible," Yun Yi said solemnly.

"What? What should I do?" Shi Jia panicked immediately. "I barely managed to escape from those two assassins, and I was seriously injured in the process."

"Don't panic, I'll come pick you up right now. You'd better stay with us until this is resolved."

"Okay, I'll trouble you."

Yes, free bodyguards sorted!

An hour later, Shi Jia arrived at the Dark Street, the Yunyan Hunting Team's base, a villa with a considerable area.

"Your Excellency Shi Jia, welcome." Yun Yan was the first to step forward to greet you, his attitude extremely respectful.

"Hello, Captain Yunyan, I'll be leaving the rest of the time to you." Since the other party was so cooperative, Shi Jia directly expressed his sincerity, "As compensation, I'm willing to serve as the Spirit Cleanser for the Yunyan Hunting Team during this period."

Yunyan was taken aback and looked at Yunyi, who quickly shook his head, indicating that he had not mentioned this matter.

"Your Excellency Shi Jia, please don't misunderstand..."

“I know you mean well and don’t want anything in return. But I can’t shamelessly take advantage of you all,” Shi Jia interrupted with a smile.

Yunyan looked at the others, whose joy was impossible to hide. For the hunting team, the value of a Spirit Cleanser was self-evident; they were practically a guarantee of safety when hunting in the Black Zone.

However, spirit cleansers are often not hired by hunting teams, and even powerful forces and large families find it difficult to control a spirit cleanser.

If Shi Jia joins their hunting team, they will be confident of winning first place in the upcoming hunting competition.

But in doing so, they ended up owing each other a favor.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Lord Shi Jia." Yun Yan gave Shi Jia a deep look. "A Tian, ​​please take Lord Shi Jia to his room and settle him in."

“Okay,” Hong Tian said excitedly. “Lord Shi Jia, please come with me.”

"Okay, thank you. Just call me Shi Jia."

"No, that's too disrespectful."

"But won't we be teammates from now on?"

"Oh right, you're right. So, I'll call you Shi Jia from now on?"

"Ah."

Watching the two figures leave, Yunyan and Yunyi frowned. "Yi, do you think this was the right thing to do?"

“Of course, isn’t it good to have another Spirit Cleanser in the team?” Yun Yi said.

"But those assassinations..."

"If you get the benefits, you have to take some risks." Yun Yi didn't care. That's right, it was he who strongly insisted on bringing Shi Jia over in the first place.

"Furthermore, Lady Lanxin is very interested in Lord Shijia." Yun Yi's eyes gleamed. "Brother, do you think Lady Lanxin, with her status, is incapable of resolving those assassination attempts?"

Yunyan was speechless. "Ayi, aren't you overthinking this? Madam Lanxin is just interested. She doesn't want to take Lord Shijia as her disciple."

No one will open their heart to a stranger about life and death.

"Who says I can't be accepted as a disciple!" Yun Yi exclaimed, his confidence seemingly coming from nowhere.

Yunyan shut his mouth, refusing to refute his stubborn younger brother. "The most urgent matter now is to get Lord Shijia to agree to meet with Madam Lanxin, and also the Red Sword Guard Chief." Yunyi's eyes were full of calculation. Whether Lord Shijia became Madam Lanxin's apprentice or cooperated with the Red Sword Guard Chief to become a Cleansing Spirit Master at the Red Eighth District Security Gate, then any assassination attempt wouldn't be a problem!
Of course, with their group's strength, they can handle any assassin except those of blue rank or higher.

Yunyan nodded. "I'll leave this matter to you. Do it as soon as possible, while Madam Lanxin is still very interested."

"Okay." Yun Yi replied enthusiastically.

The next day, Shi Jia woke up from her deep sleep. She had to admit that this villa was indeed comfortable to live in. It was quiet, the air was fresh, and the spiritual energy in the air was abundant. It was incomparable to ordinary residential areas.

"Your Excellency Shi Jia, your breakfast has been placed on the table." This was a nanny hired by the Yunyan Hunting Team, responsible for cleaning the villa and preparing three meals a day.

"Okay, thank you." When Shi Jia arrived at the restaurant, the people from Yunyan were already seated at the tables. "Good morning, everyone."

Good morning, Your Excellency Shi Jia.

After the greetings, everyone continued eating quietly. Yun Yi gave Zi Yue a wink.

"Hello, Lord Shi Jia, I am Zi Yue." Zi Yue looked at Shi Jia with gratitude. "Thank you for saving me, Lord Shi Jia. If it weren't for you, I would have become a beast by now."

"You're welcome, just call me Shi Jia."

“No, I want it.” Zi Yue insisted, and took out a beautifully crafted rectangular box, 30 cm long, 20 cm wide, and 10 cm high, from her mustard seed bag. She slowly opened it, revealing twelve brightly colored powders neatly arranged inside. “These are twelve mineral pigments given to me by my elders. I have always been reluctant to use them, but today I am giving this box of pigments to you. I hope you will not find them offensive.”

Shi Jia was a little at a loss. "This is too expensive. It's not necessary. We'll be teammates from now on, and it's only right for teammates to help each other."

Sun Yu had no memory of mineral pigments, but Shi Jia could tell from Madam Lan Xin's attitude and the information she overheard from the pigment factory that mineral pigments must be very precious.

Perhaps it is still painting, an important tool for bringing certain objects to life.

Zi Yue shook her head. "No matter how precious the paint is, it cannot save my life. Please accept it."

"This..." Shi Jia hesitated. She was curious about mineral pigments, but she could collect them herself in the future. It wouldn't be good to take what others had.

At this moment, Shi Jia had no idea how difficult it would be to collect all twelve colors of mineral pigments.

"Your Excellency Shi Jia, please accept this!" Yun Yi said. "You are not only Zi Yue's savior, but also our savior. You don't know how we were able to contact our elder brother that day. If it weren't for you, not only would Zi Yue have been corrupted, but we would probably have been unable to escape either."

“That’s right!” Hong Tian chimed in. “You don’t know, the boss won’t be back until dawn. If we wait for him to come back, we’ll all be dead.”

Yunyan glared at Hongtian, who guiltily avoided his gaze.

“Yes, even if the boss brings the Blue-Rank Spirit Purification Master, Madam Lan Xin, it won’t make a difference,” Canglong echoed.

Is Lady Lanxin a spirit purifier?

Shi Jia blinked, a bad feeling suddenly creeping into his heart. He quickly agreed to Zi Yue's request and prepared to end the conversation.

"Alright, then I'll accept it. But please don't call me 'Your Excellency' anymore; it's too formal. Just call me Shi Jia."

“Okay, Shi Jia.” Everyone smiled.

At this moment, Yun Yi looked conflicted, and Shi Jia asked in confusion, "Yun Yi, is there anything you want to say? Just say it."

"That's how it is." Yun Yi briefly explained the matter of Madam Lanxin. "I'm sorry, Madam Lanxin asked you about it at the time, and we felt there was nothing to hide, so we told her."

"Madam is very interested in you and would like to meet you. As you know, Madam is a Blue-Rank Spirit Painter, a person of high status, and we have no way to refuse her."

The bad premonition was confirmed, and Shi Jia breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother Yunyan really invited Madam Lanxin?"

Is the world really this small? The Yunyan team actually knows Madam Lanxin.

"Yes, it took a lot of effort." Yunyan smiled wryly. They had managed to get the person, but the favor had been wasted. No, they couldn't think of it that way. At least they gained a Spirit Cleanser teammate, right?
