Chapter 77 - Invitation (2/2)

He has fought with Lin Luoran last night. Though her cultivation is deep, she gives out an unapproachable atmosphere like an aloof bamboo instead of being deterrent.

Now, it seems that she just changes right in front of him. Her hesitations are gone and she becomes more like a sharp sword, which is powerful and intimidating!

Wen Guanjing is not sure he can escape unscathed if he fights with her again!

But he doesn’t concede. On the contrary, he is more determined on roping her into the department! The more powerful Lin Luoran is, the stronger the department will be. And they may suffer lesser loss in the operation half a month later. Wen Guanjing refuses to sacrifice any of his comrades in arms.

“Miss. Lin, I hope you can think about this twice.” Wen Guanjing tries to make himself sounds more sincere.

Lin Luoran frowns, “Let’s not start with my willingness. I’m not the strongest. Why it has to be me?”

Wen Guanjing is speechless. The special department wants Lin Luoran in not only because she is powerful, but also that they want to build connections with the school she is from, so that they can have more help when the secret place opens in half a month.

Since the special department knows Lin Luoran’s name, within four hours, her life experience shows up on a table in the department in the form of files.

There is no sign of cultivation in the first 27 years of her life. She seems to be a normal person who is reduced to be shamed by a rich lady in public.

However, in just a few months, she becomes a cultivator when she shows up in the capital. During the fight last night, Wen Guanjing can tell that Lin Luoran’s cultivation can only be deeper than his.

Her level of cultivation is not amazing, but what is surprising is the time she takes to reach the level.

Wen Guanjing remembers the silence of the minister after looking at Lin Luoran’s file. Later, the minister said, “bone marrow cleansing”… Wen will never forget his astonishment back then. He was born in a family of cultivators for generations so he was familiar with this term.

“Bone marrow cleansing” seems to be three simple words. However, in this age when magical restoratives are rarely seen, a cultivator must be in the level of Bearing Essence to cleanse the bone marrow of a mortal— n.o.body has ever heard about any cultivator in this level since the last one died in the late Qing Dynasty.

Still in shock, Wen Guanjing a.s.serts that it is impossible.

The minister shook his head and answers, “Maybe it is.”

If there is a cultivator in the level of Bearing Essence living in the world, he shouldn’t be from a thousand years ago because his lifespan can’t be this long. Thus, there is only one explanation. This cultivator has advanced himself after the ma.s.s disappearance in the cultivational world!

Let alone how much help a cultivator in the level of Bearing Essence can offer, the rank he stands for will intimidate lots of people… Reaching the level of Bearing Essence is the hopeless dream of so many cultivators, and a master in this level is close at hand…

He has to rope Lin Luoran in!

******

Lin Luoran has no idea that the special department of the State of Huaxia has a.s.sociated her with a mysterious “master” in the level of Bearing Essence after studying her file all night. Even if she knows, Lin Luoran will not try to explain anything for the sake of the safety of her family and friends— To explain is like to tell everybody that she is a moron.

Wen Guanjing can hardly retain his composure when Lin Luoran just stays in silence.

“Miss. Lin, as long as you join us, we’ll see you as one of our own. We’ll provide convenience if you have any demands.”

Lin Luoran says with a faint sense of sarcasm, “Like what? If I want to punish sc.u.mbags like Zou Yaowei, you will help me tie him up?”

Wen Guanjing nods, “He has broken the law and he deserves all the punishment.” Cultivators always care little about mortals, especially those who come from families of cultivators for generations. They can hardly understand why Lin Luoran is being so stubborn for Qin Baojia, a mortal.

If he knew that bringing Zou Yaowei up would make her agree, why did he take so much trouble? For the first time, Wen Guanjing begins to have doubts about his IQ.

Meanwhile, Commander Qin, who has been listening closely, is calculating the pros and cons for Lin Luoran.

Mu Tiannan can’t help twitching the corner of his mouth. Certainly, patriotic sentiment cannot move this woman!

Lin Luoran smiles and stares at Wen Guanjing with burning eyes, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. You must have other reasons in roping me into your department with such benefits. I hate people who deceive and take advantage of others. Mr. Wen, let’s just stop beating around the bush. How about you tell me the whole story? Then I can think about it.”
