Chapter 745: Chapter 807: Rejection Chapter 745: Chapter 807: Rejection Chapter 807
Long Xiaoshan was cultivating in his room.
Upon hearing a knock, he scanned with his Heavenly Eye, dispelled the Formation mist, and opened the door.
Standing at the door were Zhao Xiaoqiao and a man and a woman.
The man was Wang Guohai, and the woman, whom Long Xiaoshan had seen before, had a cold and stunning appearance.
She stood next to that elder of the Dragon Group, but he did not recognize her.
“Instructor, Section Chief Zhai and Director Wang said they need to see you,” Zhao Xiaoqiao stated earnestly.
“Master Long,” Wang Guohai and Zhai Sijia called out with marked respect.
...
“What’s the matter?” Long Xiaoshan asked.
“Master, may I have a word with you in private?” Zhai Sijia requested.
Long Xiaoshan stepped aside to let the three people enter.
“Master Long, this is our second eting.
Last ti I didn’t have the chance to introduce myself properly; my na is Zhai Sijia, currently the deputy director of the Special Actions General Office,” Zhai Sijia introduced herself while extending her hand.
Long Xiaoshan shook hands with her and was surprised to find that this woman was much younger than Wang Guohai, yet she was already the deputy director of the General Office.
Her position was much higher than that of Wang Guohai.
However, to him, even if the head of the General Office ca here, it would be nothing more than the sa.
There was no change in Long Xiaoshan’s expression, and he calmly asked, “Section Chief Zhai, do you need sothing from ?”
“First of all, I must offer a solemn apology to Master Long.
The departnt handled the matter of Master killing Lin Bao too hastily, and it was unfair to you,” Zhai Sijia deeply bowed.
Long Xiaoshan’s gaze flashed as he coolly replied, “There’s no need for apologies, I haven’t been wronged.”
Seeing Long Xiaoshan so composed, Zhai Sijia found that her prepared speech was suddenly unnecessary.
She coughed and said, “Master Long, after our departnt’s deliberation, given that you are a Grandmaster with an esteed status, the position of an instructor in the South Chuan Group is clearly beneath you.
Our General Office wishes to appoint you as the Chief Instructor of the Special Action Division, in charge of the entire division’s training responsibilities.”
An aside from Zhao Xiaoqiao ca in a low exclamation, “Chief Instructor?”
The position was incredibly high, almost on par with the head of the General Office.
The Special Action Division was actually offering the position of Chief Instructor to lure Long Xiaoshan.
Before she could recover from her shock, Long Xiaoshan had already waved his hand and said, “No need for to take on that Chief Instructor role, I don’t have so much ti to deal with these trivial matters.
You should find soone more suitable.”
Long Xiaoshan flatly refused.
Although the position of Chief Instructor sounded impressive, with presumably significant authority,
it held no allure for him.
He joined the Special Action Division because at the ti his strength was insufficient, and he needed an identity within the division to facilitate his activities, also because Zhao Xiaoqiao had ntioned that the instructor role was very relaxed.
But, the role of Chief Instructor was clearly different.
The higher the position, the greater the power, and the greater the responsibilities as well.
In charge of the entire division’s training responsibilities, where would he find the leisure ti?
Huaxia was vast, with 31 provinces and municipalities, all with their own Special Affairs branches.
If he really beca the Chief Instructor, would he have any ti left for cultivation?
Zhai Sijia was taken aback by Long Xiaoshan’s straightforward refusal.
She promptly said, “Master Long, the position of Chief Instructor in the Huaxia Special Affairs Departnt is on par with our director.
Although you can’t be given a very high military rank imdiately upon joining, the starting point would at least be Major General.”
Zhao Xiaoqiao was shocked.
Major General!
Long Xiaoshan was only twenty years old.
And he had the chance to be conferred the rank of General!
I’m afraid you won’t be able to find another general as young as this throughout Huaxia.
And which young person could endure such temptation?
She looked towards Long Xiaoshan, Long Xiaoshan stood with his hands behind his back, and shook his head again, “It’s not about the promotion, I don’t have ti to be the Chief Instructor.
I’m very busy.”
The words “I’m very busy” almost made Zhao Xiaoqiao spit blood.
At just twenty years old, the chance to be promoted to general was at hand, and yet Long Xiaoshan dismissed it with such a nonsensical reason.
Little did they know, a Grandmaster is like a Heavenly Being; at Long Xiaoshan’s level, how could his vision be confined by these worldly positions and power.
He had already set his sights on a higher level.
Zhai Sijia also felt a heavy blockage in her heart, after all, she was a woman.
Being rejected by Long Xiaoshan ti after ti, it was inevitable for her to feel a spark of anger.
In her eyes, even if one is a Martial Arts Grandmaster, in the face of the state machinery, one is still an insignificant ant.
Could you possibly be so powerful as to withstand the bombardnt of missiles, of nuclear bombs?
After putting in so much effort to win him over, even going so far as to offer titles and appointnts, and yet she was rejected by Long Xiaoshan with a re “I’m very busy.”
Zhai Sijia’s tone grew stern, “Master Long, the Dragon Group also has its Grandmasters!”
Long Xiaoshan’s eyes narrowed.
He was very clear about the underlying aning of Zhai Sijia’s words: that if he didn’t accept the position of Chief Instructor of the Special Action Division, they wouldn’t interfere with his grievances with the Dragon Group.
It was a veiled threat.
“Let him co!” Long Xiaoshan said indifferently.
“You…” Zhai Sijia, seeing Long Xiaoshan’s defiant attitude,
was angered yet did not dare erupt, for she had seen what Long Xiaoshan was capable of—absolutely ruthless when it ca to killing.
She stamped her foot in frustration and turned to leave.
Wang Guohai hurriedly signaled to Zhao Xiaoqiao, quickly following Zhai Sijia out the door.
Zhao Xiaoqiao closed the door, walked over to Long Xiaoshan, and said, “Why do you refuse Section Chief Zhai?
If you accepted this position, the departnt would definitely protect you at all costs.
And being the Chief Instructor, even if you were in Capital City, you would be a highly esteed person.”
Long Xiaoshan smiled softly and said, “The fish knows the joy of fishes!
As for , I’m just a peasant.
I don’t have such great ambitions.
What Chief Instructor, can it compare to the freedom I have now?
My desire is just for ‘a farr’s wife, a spring by the mountain, and a bit of land’—such simple pleasures.”
“Tch!”
Zhao Xiaoqiao said, “What ‘a farr’s wife, a spring by the mountain, and a bit of land,’ so vulgar.”
“Oh, Missy, looking down on peasants are we?
Be careful, this little peasant might have great ambitions and whisk away Missy into the valleys, turning you into a peasant wife,” Long Xiaoshan said with ill-intent.
“I wouldn’t want that,” Zhao Xiaoqiao, unable to bear it, said, “Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this.
If you don’t want to go, then don’t.
But the Dragon Group is Huaxia’s strongest and most secretive organization, they definitely have Grandmasters.
Aren’t you afraid?”
Long Xiaoshan’s playful look in his eyes disappeared, and he said lightly, “I fear neither life nor death.”
Zhao Xiaoqiao’s heart quivered.
It was the second ti she heard Long Xiaoshan utter these words.
The first ti was when Long Xiaoshan, in front of Tang Xiao, rejected Tang Xiao’s enticent.
At that ti, Long Xiaoshan in her eyes was just a sowhat capable peasant standing before Tang Xiao, the foremost scion of Xichuan.
Though the words he spoke were charged with heroism, it still gave off the impression of re bravado.
But now,
Long Xiaoshan had beco a Grandmaster in his own right.
Forget Tang Xiao, even Tang Xiao’s ancestor, Tang Honghu, had been trampled underfoot by Long Xiaoshan.
As he spoke those words now,
the heroism exuding from his tone, as if ready to face millions alone, made Zhao Xiaoqiao’s heart tremble with admiration, for there was not a woman who didn’t wish for her beloved to be a peerless hero.
