Chapter 261 Guest Disciples and Personal Guards. (2/2)

The eldest amongst them smiled wryly: ”Brothers, we might not have passed, but that's not our only chance.”

The other three nods their heads, but clear dejection is written all over their faces.

One of them then spoke: ”We've done everything we can, we worked many times harder than others… but why… brother, tell me why isn't heaven favoring us?!”

The four of them wept silently, the crowd's cheers buried their shame completely.

But then, Ouyang Chen added: ”Everyone, I have four additional picks to become my direct subordinates! They also have the chance to become my four personal guards, I would like to welcome them, well, if they wish so.”

When everyone heard of this, their faces became quite shocked.

Everyone grew expectant.

Ouyang Chen chuckles as he spoke: ”Everyone, the place has already been decided, so I would be calling them out, I hope that they are still here.”

But then, Ouyang Chen grew timid seeing the names written by Mo Xie, no matter how thick his face is, he definitely wouldn't say it; 'Egg one… egg two… egg three…'

Chen sighs as he shook his head; he looked at the distinct features of the four egg and spoke: ”I'd like to ask if the four of you brothers will be willing to follow me as my personal guards.”

The four equally shocked as the spectators and other participants had their tongues tied.

Personal guards? More like someone to feed.

What kind of future even awaits these four bumpkins?

Still, with everyone waiting including the higher-ups of the Alchemy Association and the Ouyang siblings, they couldn't dally further.

All four of them kneeled on the ground.

”We may be lacking in talent, but we will do our hardest to serve Young Master Chen!”

”We brothers can never boast of anything, but if it is hard work, then, nobody can deny our experience!”

”Please accept these four brothers, we may be weak now, but we will strive with no failing efforts!”

”We will be blind if we do not accept such a kind and a great opportunity.”

They then looked at Ouyang Chen, they cupped their hands in respect as they simultaneously spoke: ”We, the Feng brothers sweat to the great heavens above our utter loyalty and life to serve with never wavering resolution for the master!”

Each of the words resolute as the other, they even have tears on their eyes. They have a monthly salary of twenty gold tael combined, their father is a farmer, the mother a housewife, they have three other siblings, and their own living is pretty comfortable.

But then, scavenging for food every day isn't really very stable, if one of them goes and become sick, their comfortable lifestyle would be ruined immediately, they will return to a struggling life.

Ouyang Chen smiled at the four, clear determination can be seen from the four's eyes, he finds it acceptable, he nods his head and spoke: ”Now, stand up and come with us.”

The four stood up and followed Ouyang Chen's side.

Ouyang Chen started to talk to Bei Ming and the rest since the event has ended, there's no more room for the others and would be leaving sooner or later.

Mo Xie found it a little too unaccommodating for these people, shouldn't they at least give them something to ease their mood of being rejected?

Bei Ming immediately made his way towards the front: ”Everyone, this concludes today's gathering, there definitely will be more opportunities in the future, I hope that some of you will be picked again.”

'Just that?' Mo Xie thought, he then tugged on Bei Ming's sleeves and spoke: ”Elder Ming, I will be hosting a farewell party for all of those that had gathered, sadly, we'll be leaving immediately, I would like to trust the event's proceeding to you.”

Bei Ming was quite a little speechless; 'Why? You don't really have any attachments here…' His gaze then moved towards Yan Meng and Fei Lin, he heaved a sigh as he spoke: ”Then, what do you think should be done?”

Mo Xie smiled as he handed a storage ring; ”There are three million spirit stones inside this ring, kindly throw in the farewell feast in our stead.”

Bei Ming's eyes opened, he didn't expect Mo Xie to be this magnanimous even to a stranger's territory, he couldn't help but smile wryly and spoke: ”Okay, I will let both Palace Master Yan Meng and Hall Master Fei Lin handle this affair.”

Mo Xie cupped his hands in salute: ”Then, I will leave everything to you all.”
