The Legend of the Demon Hunter

Under the leadership of Zheng Wangfu, Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi came to the center of the Demon Hunter Association's building complex. He had only seen this area from afar and had never been close to it. Now that he was close, he felt how tall the central tower was, like Optimus Prime reaching into the sky.

Zheng Wangfu led them into a small teleportation array. After the array was activated, the three of them were teleported to a platform in the blink of an eye.

The wind was roaring in Xiao Zhu's ears. He looked out from the platform and saw that the buildings on the ground were as small as toys, and there were clouds floating under his feet. He realized that he was standing on the top floor of the tower.

"Brother, look!" At this time, two goshawks flew by. Xia Shi experienced the view from a high place for the first time and was as excited as a child.

"Children, this is Ruyun Tower. The president lives on the top of the tower. He likes quietness on weekdays, and few people in the association can come here." Zheng Wangfu explained patiently: "Let's go, don't keep the president waiting for a long time."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi did not stay any longer. They followed Zheng Wangfu into the room on the top floor.

Xiao Zhu was shocked by the scene he saw after entering the room. He thought this house would be a lobby or an office, but what caught his eyes was an antique tea room.

The room is not large. In the center of the house stands a huge tea table made from the trunk of a thousand-year-old tree. On the table stands a white jade teapot and several teacups. Around the tea table, there are several simple straw mats serving as cushions.

Behind the tea table, there were two people sitting, a man and a woman. The man looked to be about 40 or 50 years old, dressed in elegant clothes, with a fair face, a small tuft of beard on his chin, and was quite handsome. The woman was a graceful young woman who looked to be in her 30s, wearing a pink embroidered long dress, and her every move revealed a feminine charm as soft as water.

"President, Elder Hongyi, these two are Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi." Zheng Wangfu changed his usual casual look and spoke seriously and solemnly.

"Uncle Zheng, thank you for your help. From now on, the president and I will communicate with these two young people." The woman called Elder Hongyi smiled slightly, like a lotus blooming in the water.

Zheng Wangfu bowed and then quietly left the room.

Only then did Xiao Zhu finally understand that Zheng Wangfu, who usually stayed in the lobby of the association and was inconspicuous, was actually a very important figure in the Demon Hunter Association.

"Children, your names are Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi, right?" Elder Hong Yi's voice was friendly, like an elder's greeting to the younger generation: "You are so young! Seeing you reminds me of my youth. You are welcome, come and sit down!"

Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi were quite nervous facing the two people who stood at the pinnacle of power in the Demon Hunter Association, but Elder Hong Yi's tone made them relax a lot. They sat in front of the tea table as he said, and the four of them sat face to face.

"This tea is from Yanhui Peak in the south. It's the first batch of Maojian picked by tea farmers in early spring. It has the most fragrant flavor. Come and try it." Elder Hongyi said as he took out two teacups, filled them with tea and handed them to Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi.

"Oh, by the way, I haven't had time to introduce myself yet! This is Wan Yixing, the president of our Demon Hunter Association. My name is Situ Hongyi, but they are used to calling me Hongyi."

"Hello, seniors!" Xiao Zhu said with a bow. Xia Shi was not good at socializing, so in front of these two strangers, she nodded slightly without saying anything.

"You're welcome. It was you two who killed the level 4 monster Di Rong, right?" Situ Hongyi said with a smile.

"Yeah." Xiao Zhu nodded. He lied, so he felt guilty, but he promised Yun Ke not to reveal his secret, so he had no choice at this time. Fortunately, Situ Hongyi and Wan Yixing did not continue to ask questions, otherwise they would have discovered something strange with their experience.

"I heard that you two are students of Novan College. What grade are you in now?" Wan Yixing suddenly asked.

Since Xiao Zhu and the other person entered the room, he had not spoken a word. It was Situ Hongyi who was talking to them. Judging from his appearance and expression, Wan Yixing was not a strict person, perhaps he was just taciturn. When he spoke at this time, his voice was very deep.

"The third school year is already halfway through." Xiao Zhu replied.

"You're about to graduate! When you graduate, you're welcome to join the Demon Hunter Association. I don't mean registering as a member of the association, but truly joining," said Wan Yixing.

Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi's talents are outstanding even in the talented Novan College, let alone a social organization like the Demon Hunter Association. Xiao Zhu immediately understood Wan Yixing's intention. He wanted to win them over.

"President, what do you mean by joining the Demon Hunter Association?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"The Demon Hunter Association is spread all over the continent, with four major branches. The association in Novan City is the White Tiger Branch located in the west. When I say join the Demon Hunter Association, I mean become a member of the White Tiger Branch and obey the orders of the association. As long as you join the Demon Hunter Association, you can get the care of the association no matter where you go. More importantly, once you become a member of the association, as long as you complete the association's tasks regularly, you can enjoy the equipment, books and pills distributed by the association. It will be of great help to you in breaking through the fourth blood awakening and joining the ranks of soul hunters in the future."

These words were very tempting to Xiao Zhu and the others, but he calmed down and said after a moment: "Thank you for the invitation, President, but there is still half a year before graduation. I will give you some time to think about it carefully during this half year."

Wan Yixing didn't expect Xiao Zhu to be so calm at such a young age. He showed admiration on his face and said, "Well, there's no rush for this matter. It won't be too late to make a decision after you graduate."

"Oh! Look at you, you've made these two young people nervous." Situ Hongyi glared at Wan Yixing in complaint and said. As a subordinate, he could speak to the president of the association like this, which showed that the relationship between the two must be very special.

After saying this, she looked at the untouched teacups in front of Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, kids. It has been many years since the association has seen a cross-level hunting of monsters. After all, as monster hunters, we all know how incredible it is to hunt monsters of a higher level. We are just curious and want to meet you and chat casually. It doesn't matter whether you join the association or not. Come, taste the tea!"

Xiao Zhu picked up the teacup and smelled the tea. Suddenly, a refreshing fragrance entered his nostrils. He couldn't help but take a sip. The fragrance of tea filled his mouth. It was indeed the best tea he had ever tasted.

In the next half hour, Hongyi and Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi chatted about the trivialities of their lives. Situ Hongyi was very good at chatting. She could always easily grasp the key points in their language and empathize with them, which made Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi feel very cordial.

Wan Yixing seldom spoke. He sipped his tea carefully and occasionally asked one or two questions that interested him. Since they did not involve privacy, Xiao Zhu answered them truthfully.
