Qiao Ran really couldn't stop for a moment, and was dragged around the yard several times.

Everyone surrounded her, laughing and treating her like a precious treasure. Although she was a little tired, Qiao Ran knew that none of them had any bad intentions.

Old Pi, standing at the door, called out, "The commander is back."

Everyone fell silent instantly, and pushed the bright and cheerful Qiao Ran to the front.

As Wu Yang entered the courtyard with his head down, he was suddenly startled by something and blurted out, "What kind of nonsense are you spouting in broad daylight? Don't you all have anything better to do?!"

He had just finished shouting when he looked up and saw a bright and beautiful girl grinning at him with her big teeth showing. Wu Yang was stunned. He was not good with words, and there were no women in the group. Moreover, he was always on missions all over the country. He had never seen such a beautiful woman.

"Who brought that girl to the backyard?" Wu Yang asked, holding back for a while, then looked at Cheng Kaiji and the others and scolded, "Don't you have any manners?"

Cheng Kaiji grinned mischievously and leaned closer, deliberately saying, "Team leader, everyone just took out all their savings to buy fluorite for Qiaoqiao. It's a perfect match for Qiaoqiao, isn't it beautiful?"

Wu Yang's eyes widened instantly. Upon hearing that these spendthrifts had used their savings to buy fluorite to please the girls, his brows furrowed in anger. He had just uttered the word "Qiao" when he suddenly realized something.

The flaring fire was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water. He looked at Qiao Ran and said, "Did the young master send you to Tuoyue Pavilion?"

"It's me." Qiao Ran, covered in heavy fluorite, bowed very formally to Wu Yang and said in a booming voice, "Greetings, Master."

The sound stunned everyone in the courtyard, and even Wu Yang's deep, somewhat fierce eyes softened.

"The young master didn't tell the group that it was a girl who came, so I didn't expect it either. Look at this..."

Wu Yang made Qiao Ran stand up straight, but he didn't have any rules here. Qiao Ran happily stood up and waited for Wu Yang to continue.

Wu Yang said, "Qiao Qiao, it's inconvenient for you to stay here."

Qiao Ran said sullenly, "Does Master look down on me?"

Wu Yang was stumped by the question. His slightly weathered face darkened imperceptibly. "You're not very old, but you have quite the temper. Don't just stand there like an idiot. Let's go inside and talk."

After saying this, Wu Yang tossed the heavy sword in his hand to Pei Chenghu and strode into the house.

Wu Yang was of medium height and wore an old, faded black cloth shirt, but he walked with a steady and powerful gait. Qiao Ran stared at his feet, and the places he walked on seemed to become a little heavier.

Such profound internal strength; no wonder Chen Jiu made him learn martial arts from him.

Cheng Kaiji: "What are you standing there for, Qiaoqiao? Let's go."

Qiao Ran finally came to her senses and slowly followed, but the fluorite covering her body was too heavy, making her back ache. Just as she was about to suggest that they take it off, Wu Yang turned around.

"You lot, hanging a bunch of broken stones on Qiaoqiao is going to crush her! Quickly take them off."

Qiao Ran looked at him gratefully, feeling a lightness in her body, and she felt refreshed.

After sitting down inside, Qiao Ran hesitated and asked, "Will Master accept me as his disciple or not? I don't mind being with everyone; I think it's quite convenient."

In her past life, didn't she also eat and live with the organization members? During special periods, they all stayed in the wild to survive. There wasn't much distinction between men and women. She was used to it long ago.

Wu Yang raised his eyelids slightly. "You were arranged by the young master, so I should obey. But Qiao Qiao, you should know what kind of business Tuoyue Pavilion is."

Qiao Ran nodded, "I know, mercenary group."

Wu Yang continued earnestly, "But Tuoyue Pavilion is different from ordinary mercenary groups. There are four or five mercenary groups in this underground black market, but Tuoyue Pavilion has the best business. Do you know why?"

Qiao Ran smiled and answered without hesitation, "Firstly, because everyone in Tuoyue Pavilion is very skilled; secondly, because you and the brothers are trustworthy; and as for the third..."

“We’ve heard those two reasons of yours far too often. What’s the third?” Wu Yang looked at her scrutinizingly.

Qiao Ran remained calm and composed. "This third reason is the most important one. Because Tuoyue Pavilion doesn't do ordinary hiring business. I guess you don't take on ordinary jobs. If you do, they're probably jobs that other mercenary groups wouldn't dare to go to or can't go to, right? Either they're extremely dangerous, or they're too far away and take too long?"

Wu Yang's eyes lit up, and he leaned back slightly. "Did the young master tell you this?"

“Your young master didn’t tell me any of this,” Qiao Ran said dismissively. “I noticed as soon as I entered the Moon Care Pavilion that not only was the furnishing simple, but some of the tables and chairs were covered in dust that hadn’t been wiped off. It didn’t even have the basic necessities for daily life. It was obvious that no one had lived there for years.”

Wu Yang: "That's quite thoughtful."

"Also, generally speaking, each mercenary group sends a portion of its members on a mission, while the other portion may be waiting to take on other missions or guard the base. However, Tuoyue Pavilion doesn't even have anyone to look after or clean the base, which means that you are most likely to act together on missions. I know that Commander Wu is quite skilled, and I also observed Deputy Commander Pei and Brother Cheng earlier. They are all considered experts. The fact that you can mobilize your entire group suggests how dangerous each mission is."

"Qiaoqiao is so amazing!" Ge Qingqing clapped her hands and cheered, then winked at her playfully.

Wu Yang grunted and said slowly, "This is nothing. Qiao Qiao, you are a bit clever and meticulous, but you are not suitable for the Moon Care Pavilion."

Qiao Ran was not discouraged. She continued, "You must only open for business once in a long while, or you must be out and about all year round but not making any money. Otherwise, you wouldn't all be dressed in rags."

Hearing Qiao Ran's words, everyone looked down at their own clothes, and even Wu Yang touched his frayed sleeves, indicating his agreement.

"I guessed right, didn't I?" Qiao Ran stood up, smiled and put her hands behind her back, saying to Wu Yang, "I know Commander Wu's concerns, and I'm afraid that I, a girl, will be a burden to you in the future, but since I dared to come, I am by no means useless."

Looking back now, Chen Jiu was just an introducer. Apart from having the guards take Qiao Ran to Tuoyue Pavilion and informing them of Wu Yang's acceptance of a disciple, he never forced Wu Yang to accept him as a disciple. From the beginning, Chen Jiu believed that Qiao Ran could establish herself in Tuoyue Pavilion on her own.

Qiao Ran's confident demeanor was completely at odds with his petite frame. Everyone thought that this younger sister was not going to stay, and while they were feeling sorry and helpless, Qiao Ran suddenly pulled out a string of things from his sleeve.

After everyone saw clearly, they hurriedly reached into their own pockets.

Ge Qingqing: "My wooden plaque?? How did it end up in Qiao Qiao's hands?"

Cheng Kaiji was both amused and exasperated. "Mine is in her hands too."

Gou Fugui's face fell, and he said in a low voice, "I clearly put mine in the front pocket of my underwear, how... how did it end up in Qiaoqiao's hands?"

Everyone:"……"

Cheng Kaiji kicked Gou Fugui, "Aren't you disgusting? Who told you to put the wooden sign in your crotch? Don't throw it on the dining table again, or I'll beat you to death."

"Excuse me," Qiao Ran said with an arrogant bow, returning the wooden plaques to everyone one by one. With the last one left in her hand, she handed it to Wu Yang with both hands, "Master, this is yours. Keep it on your lower back. I just took it when I saw it."

Wu Yang did not take it. He stared at Qiao Ran without saying a word for a long time. Finally, he stood up, turned around and took the wooden sign from Qiao Ran's hand before leaving. He instructed Ge Qingqing: "Make a clean room for Qiao Qiao. If she needs anything, go to the street to buy it."

The room was quiet for a moment, then suddenly an excited shout rang out. Ge Qingqing yelled, "Understood, Commander!"
