Chapter 145

She thought to herself: "Is this the General who guards the south? He looks so good! No wonder he is so powerful."

Su Xuan happened to read her inner thoughts and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

He thought: "This girl is really interesting!"

What did his achievements have to do with his looks?

He wasn't the kind of person who relied on his face to eat.

These thoughts flashed through his mind; facing the old lady’s question, Su Xuan glanced secretly at the inner room, then replied with a smile: "If I said I calculated it, the old lady certainly wouldn't believe me;"

"Actually, I learned through my Su Family Chamber of Commerce that in Huang County, Donglai, there was once a youth who, out of loyalty, helped the Huang County Magistrate burn the memorial;"

"And then, fearing that it would implicate his family, he fled to Liaodong to avoid disaster."

"What I value is Taishi Ci’s loyalty and courage, so I specifically sent people to search for him and came to recruit him in person; is the old lady satisfied with this answer?"

At this time, Taishi Ci, who had arrived in Huang County, Donglai, by boat with the secret guards.

And had returned home one step ahead of Su Xuan to reunite with his mother, was listening in the inner room.

Naturally, he heard this, and for a moment, infinite emotion arose in his heart.

He remembered the time when he had caused himself to be charged with a crime due to a moment of loyalty and impulse, and had to flee.

Taishi Ci felt a faint regret in his heart at this moment.

Not regret for being loyal and doing this thing.

But regret for being too impulsive back then, which led to him having to leave his mother and cousin behind and go far away.

He was unfilial!

He had caused his mother and cousin to suffer for these past few years.

If he could do it again, he didn't even know if he would be so impulsive.

At this moment, hearing Su Xuan’s appreciation, Taishi Ci didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

But after returning yesterday,

He chatted a lot with his mother and had a count of how much Su Xuan’s people had helped their family.

He had to repay this kindness no matter what.

But he still had to hear what Su Xuan had to say.

That was why he was hiding in the inner room listening to his mother’s conversation with Su Xuan.

Outside, the old lady Taishi nodded knowingly: "So that’s how it is! I have heard of the Su Family Chamber of Commerce quite a bit; it’s not strange that the General could learn about my son through the chamber of commerce!"

"It is my son’s good fortune that the General can think highly of him!"

"But I cannot make the decision for him; it still depends on himself!"

Saying this, the old lady Taishi shouted toward the inner room: "What are you hiding for? Can’t you see people? Come out quickly to pay respects to the General!"

"Creak!"

The next moment, Taishi Ci pushed open the door, walked out of the inner room, and bowed deeply to Su Xuan: "Taishi Ci of Donglai, pays respects to the General for the kindness of saving my mother and cousin!"

"I already understand the General’s intention!"

"However, I am still a person with a crime; is the General sure he wants to recruit a sinner like me?"

Facing Taishi Ci’s gaze, Su Xuan looked Taishi Ci up and down, laughed heartily: "Dan-level mid-stage cultivation? Not bad!"

"If you cultivate well and work hard, it won't be a problem to achieve Gang-level before the age of 20;"

"In the future, it’s not impossible to look forward to becoming a Heaven-Man Divine General;"

Hearing Su Xuan’s irrelevant answer, Taishi Ci’s pupils shrank slightly.

He didn't expect Su Xuan to see through his background at a glance.

As for what Su Xuan said about achieving Gang-level before 20, he didn't have that confidence himself.

At this time, Su Xuan looked at Taishi Ci seriously: "As for your question, to me, it’s actually not a problem at all!"

"Your crime may sound big, but it’s actually not that big;"

"The reason you think it’s hard to solve is just because it’s for you;"

"To me, wanting to clear your crime is very simple!"

"So, your worries and concerns are unnecessary here!"

Speaking of this, Su Xuan paused, looked at Taishi Ci seriously: "I am now formally extending an invitation to recruit you, inviting you to join my command;"

"As long as you agree, I won't talk about the position for now; I have a large number of military books, top-tier martial arts, top-tier martial techniques, secret arts, and even divine abilities in my hands, as well as various secret medicine formulas and finished products that can accelerate cultivation;"

"As long as you make enough contributions, all of this can be exchanged from me one by one;"

"With these, I believe it will be no problem for you to achieve the 'Seeing God without Badness' state in the future;"

"What do you think?"

He already had kindness to Taishi Ci!

Now, by putting forward such conditions, Su Xuan had done everything he could; it just depended on how Taishi Ci chose.

Hearing this, Taishi Ci was shocked.

He didn't expect Su Xuan to have so many good things in his hands.

And his crime was not a matter at all in Su Xuan’s eyes.

Taishi Ci was naturally moved, and without hesitation, he bowed to Su Xuan: "Subordinate Taishi Ci is willing to serve the lord to the death!"

"Haha! Good!"

Seeing this, Su Xuan quickly helped Taishi Ci up, patted his shoulder, and said happily: "To have Ziyi’s assistance, I am overjoyed!"

"You will temporarily serve as a Military Military Sima under my command! After you have made enough contributions, you will be formally promoted; how about that?"

Dan-level mid-stage was already about the same as Zhao Yun, so he naturally couldn't be appointed casually.

Of course, Taishi Ci was already 18, almost 19 this year; compared to the 16-year-old Zhao Yun, there was still a gap in talent.

But his talent also belonged to the top-tier kind.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Taishi Ci couldn't be more satisfied, and immediately thanked him happily.

Sure enough, he had long heard that the General who guards the south was thirsty for talent and only looked at ability, not background.

Today he had finally seen it.

It was indeed so!

A person with a crime like him could be directly appointed as a Military Military Sima; even if it was only temporary, it was already an extremely high treatment.

For a time, Taishi Ci was moved, and his reverence and loyalty to Su Xuan deepened.

Such a lord was worth serving to the death.

The old lady Taishi to the side also had red eyes; she nodded repeatedly: "Good! Good! My son finally has a future!"

"In the future, you must serve the General well, do you understand?"

Her son had truly met a noble person!

If it weren't for Su Xuan, not to mention the hardship of their family, just clearing her son’s crime wouldn't have been so easy.

It might seem that this matter was very simple for Su Xuan.

That was only because he was Su Xuan.

If it were Taishi Ci himself, with no background and no connections, how could he clear it?

It would be good if he wasn't caught and rewarded.

Not to mention, Su Xuan also directly promoted Taishi Ci to Military Military Sima.

He was even willing to cultivate Taishi Ci well.

So, a noble person was truly important.

Following the right person was even more important.

The magistrate her son followed before was a pitfall.

Not only did he cause Taishi Ci to become a sinner, almost ruining his future;

Afterward, he didn't care about their family at all.

Simply a beast.

Taishi Taishi Zhaorong was also happy for her cousin.

In this way, their family could be reunited again.

And, the future was promising.

For a time, Taishi Taishi Zhaorong’s good feelings toward Su Xuan increased again, and she began to look forward to it.

Afterward, Su Xuan chatted with Taishi Ci for a while.
