A group of people returned to the True Martial Hall.

On the way, the now awake Liao Qing, along with Wang Shu and others who had been knocked unconscious by Ye Chen earlier, went to Su Yun to demand an explanation.

Not only did they fail to join the True Martial Hall, but their Storage Rings were also taken by Mu Qingqing, a loss too dire.

However.

Su Yun sent Liao Qing and the others away with just a statement that Mu Qingqing saved their lives.

The others also testified to support the claim.

Liao Qing and his group were so aggrieved that they coughed up blood repeatedly.

Too much bullying!

Their injuries were significantly caused by Mu Qingqing, so how did it turn into Mu Qingqing saving their lives?

Mainly, Mu Qingqing only helped stop their bleeding... yet was so ruthless... taking the Storage Rings directly!

After one fruitless appeal, Liao Qing and the others had lost hope.

What more can be done?

Mu Qingqing had already joined True Martial Hall, so they were in league now, and getting their Storage Rings back? No chance!

Who would have guessed.

Mu Qingqing soon stood before Liao Qing and his group, speaking seriously: "You want your Storage Rings? Exchange them for Primordial Stones, I'll give them back at eighty percent of the market price. Anyway, I'm fine with just one Storage Ring."

The implication was that the contents of the Storage Rings were lost, but the rings could be sold back to them.

Liao Qing and the others were bitterly disappointed, left the True Martial Hall group, and went home separately!

......

When Su Yun returned with Ye Chen and the others to the True Martial Hall, there was already a group of people standing at the entrance.

"Ye Chen, welcome to the Divine Wind Hall. A Five-star True Martial Guard will lead you on tasks, ensuring you reach the Three-star True Martial Guard within half a year!"

"Ye Chen, come to Miaofa Hall. Doing tasks can be grueling, but with the sisters of Miaofa Hall accompanying you, the process will be much more enjoyable."

"If you're a real man, come to Void Cutting Hall, where iron-willed men don't play games!"

"Ye Chen, you excel at Swordsmanship; Seven Stars Hall suits you best. Before long, you'll become the core of the Seven-Star Sword Array, and by then, killing enemy tribes will be as easy as retrieving an item from a bag!"

Clearly, the assessment results had already been sent back to True Martial Hall before them.

Ye Chen: "..."

Ever since those words had been said, causing the Grand Hall Master's Primordial Spirit to manifest, Ye Chen found the people of True Martial Hall quite interesting.

Yet, upon reflection, it was normal.

Outside, when killing enemy tribes, everyone risks their lives.

Inside, the atmosphere must naturally be relaxed.

If it remains tense, nobody could handle it.

Still, aren't these people a bit too enthusiastic?

Ye Chen couldn't help but glance at the sisters of Miaofa Hall, who kept smiling at him; they looked really beautiful.

Of course.

Ye Chen wasn't the primary target for recruitment; Mu Qingqing was.

Celestial Seal Spirit Masters were already rare, and those purely auxiliary were even more valuable.

Aside from Mu Qingqing, Lu Feiyu was also facing recruitment efforts.

Lu Feiyu remained composed and said, "Thank you for considering me, but I made up my mind coming for the assessment; I'll join Miaofa Hall."

The women of Miaofa Hall smiled broadly, immediately approached, and grabbed Lu Feiyu's hand, saying: "Feiyu sister's choice is indeed the wisest."

Then, the woman looked at Mu Qingqing and said: "Little Sister Qingqing, why don't you come to Miaofa Hall as well? We have many Spirit Masters, it's perfect for you."

Mu Qingqing shook her head and looked at Ye Chen, saying: "Wherever Brother Chen goes, I go!"

That single sentence instantly shifted all focus onto Ye Chen.

Ye Chen could even rouse the Grand Hall Master, had an excellent assessment performance, and recruiting him meant gaining a rare auxiliary Celestial Seal Spirit Master!

Su Yun's expression darkened as she shouted angrily: "Calm down, according to the rules, you must understand the situation of all the halls in True Martial Hall before making a choice!"

......

Su Yun finally managed to disperse the crowd, then led Ye Chen into a quiet courtyard within True Martial Hall, saying: "Every True Martial Guard joining True Martial Hall has a separate residence; this is yours."

"Brother Chen, I want this room!" Mu Qingqing pointed to a room and shouted.

"You also have your own separate residence." Su Yun looked at Mu Qingqing, feeling a headache; this little girl almost became Ye Chen's little tail, wherever he went, she followed.

"Inspector Su, no need to arrange another for me, I'll just live here. True Martial Hall's housing resources are tight, I can make do." Mu Qingqing said very sensibly.

Su Yun chuckled.

You may not mind, but if your grandfather finds out, a bunch of people in True Martial Hall will have a headache!

But she couldn't be bothered to argue further, just arrange a place for the little girl and let her live where she likes.

"Inspector Su, I'd appreciate some guidance on True Martial Hall's halls." Ye Chen said.

Feeling very troubled.

Being lured by a bunch of people, while having no idea what's what.

Discussing serious matters, Su Yun's expression grew more solemn, saying: "Actually, in True Martial Hall, as long as you reach Six-star True Martial Guard, you can establish a hall. Hence, our Cangzhou True Martial Hall has over seventy assorted halls."

Ye Chen: "..."

"Do you know the price for establishing a hall?" Su Yun asked.

"I do." Mu Qingqing said: "Each year, several tasks must be completed, with the number of tasks determined by the True Martial Guards' star level within the hall.

For instance, if a hall has one Six-star True Martial Guard and one Five-star True Martial Guard, then within a year, the hall must complete three Six-star tasks and three Five-star tasks.

The more people, the more tasks are required; if tasks aren't completed, the hall will be disbanded by True Martial Hall the following year."

Su Yun nodded, saying: "Therefore, establishing a hall is a responsibility for those Six-star True Martial Guards.

Without establishing a hall, sometimes there's no task throughout the year, but once established, they must compete to execute tasks.

To compete to execute tasks can also mean competing to court death!

Of course, every time a task is completed, True Martial Hall will also provide rewards, hence it's also an opportunity to become stronger.

By joining a hall, in addition to the rewards from True Martial Hall, there are additional rewards within the hall itself."

"So, essentially, I don't need to join a specific hall, right?" Ye Chen asked.

Su Yun nodded.

She suddenly grew worried, afraid Ye Chen might decide not to join any hall.

In True Martial Hall, joining a hall creates a competitive atmosphere; internal competition and external warfare bring dual pressure, providing more motivation for personal growth.

Ye Chen asked: "Inspector Su, which hall is the strongest in True Martial Hall?"

Su Yun's eyes lit up instantly, relieved from her earlier worry, saying: "The strongest is, of course, the Bright Hall!"

"Is Inspector Tian also part of Bright Hall?" Ye Chen recalled that Tian Bugui had a nickname, Bright Saber King!

"He is the Hall Master, a Seven-star True Martial Guard at the Peak of Dharma. Besides, Bright Hall has three Vice Hall Masters, all Six-star True Martial Guards! This lineup, only Bright Hall can muster in the entire Cangzhou True Martial Hall."

Hearing this, Ye Chen immediately said: "Then I choose Bright Hall!"

If choosing, naturally choose the strongest!

Mu Qingqing, standing beside Ye Chen, secretly tugged at Ye Chen's sleeve.

Su Yun glanced at Mu Qingqing with a smile.

Mu Qingqing withdrew her neck, daring no further actions.

Immediately, Su Yun took pen and ink along with a sheet of paper from the Storage Ring, and wrote down the information of Ye Chen joining Bright Hall on it.

"Ye Chen, imprint your finger, and then Bright Hall can seal it."

Ye Chen responded affirmatively, then pressed his fingerprint.

Su Yun, as if finding a treasure, immediately took a seal from her Storage Ring and stamped it on the paper.

Ye Chen: "..."

Su Yun beamed with delight, saying: "Ye Chen, welcome to Bright Hall, from today onwards, you are the fifth member of Bright Hall!"

Ye Chen felt something was off.

Mu Qingqing said with a wry face: "Brother Chen, Inspector Su is the Vice Hall Master of Bright Hall… Bright Hall always had one Hall Master, three Vice Hall Masters, now you're the fifth member, I'm the sixth..."
