Chapter 72 Recruitment
Inner city, Yue family, in a small courtyard in the bamboo forest.

Yue Lingke was bored as she listened to Hong Xing talking about what happened recently in Cape City. She was under house arrest and Hong Xing was her only source of information.

Now that her injuries have healed, she has been thinking about how to find an opportunity to cause trouble for the Dragon Temple.

"Miss, the mysterious man in black has been very popular in Cape City recently, and my family is also trying to recruit him. We..."

Hong Xing looked at Yue Lingke.

Others may not be able to do anything, but she believes that if the young lady gives the order, the man in black will definitely come and attach himself to her.

Yue Lingke waved his hand and said, "You guys, just because you've been in Cape City for too long, you feel that they have to join our four families."

"With that person's ability, if he wanted to join the Four Great Families, he would have already shown his strength and waited for a good price. Since he doesn't want to reveal his identity, no matter how hard we try, it will be useless. We can only be like Lu Tianyu, coming up empty-handed again and again."

Naturally, she also heard about what happened in the Anti-Theft Bureau today.

The four major families had no ill will towards the man in black. Although they didn't know whether Lu Chenan's words were true or not, they did not make things difficult for Lu Chenan in the end.

"How's that little guy I was talking about lately?"

Hong Xing pouted, not knowing what was wrong with the young lady. She was not interested in a mysterious genius with perfect swordsmanship, but was actually concerned about a little guy who had just broken through to the bone forging stage.

She was now really curious about what had happened during the days when the young lady was missing, and what earth-shattering things had that boy done to make the young lady pay so much attention to him.

However, she still answered Yue Lingke's questions honestly. Of course, she always kept in mind what the young lady had told her.

"Oh?"

After hearing that the Gale had also encountered the Iron Blood Pirates and that Cao Ze had also broken through to the Bone Tempering Realm, Yue Lingke sat up straighter and suddenly had an absurd idea.

"That man in black, could it be Cao Ze?"

She knew that Cao Ze had an incomplete set of sword skills, and she had also heard of Ji Canghai's name, after all, he had been on the market at the Hai City Auction House for some years.

If that kid can really master it, he might really have that kind of power.

However, she quickly shook her head. Even if that boy really mastered the Strike the Sea and cultivated it to the perfect level, his strength was too low.

Even if one's swordsmanship is at the perfect level, to kill a peak ninth-level body forging warrior like Saladin, one would need to be at least at the eighth level.

And that kid had just broken through to the bone forging stage.

It is impossible to practice swordsmanship to perfection in such a short time.

However, the fact that the boy was able to break through to the Bone Tempering stage so quickly shows that he has some talent and does not disappoint me.

In that case,

“I remember the captain of the Whale Hunter hasn’t been decided yet. Now that guy has reached the Bone Forging Stage, let him be the captain!”

Yue Lingke gave the order casually. With her status, the position of the captain of the Little Whale Hunter could be decided at will.

"I heard that the third mate of the Whale Hunter is still alive. Moreover, for a ship as big as the Whale Hunter, it would be hard to convince the people to let a little guy who just broke through to the Bone Tempering Realm be the captain."

Hong Xing was a little hesitant. Although Yue Lingke had the power and prestige, a big family always emphasized having the support of the people when doing things.

If Yue Lingke insists on doing so, of course no one will object, but in the long run, it will not be a good thing for Yue Lingke.

"Well, you do have a point!"

Yue Lingke touched his chin and agreed with it deeply.

Hong Xing was very pleased. It seemed that after the last incident, the young lady had become much more stable.

However, Yue Lingke's next words immediately made her retract this opinion.

"Then let him marry a daughter of the Yue family!"

"The identity of Yue's son-in-law should be enough to convince everyone!"

"???"

Hong Xing didn't know what to say for a moment.

The legitimate daughter of the Yue family, is anyone else worthy of her except the legitimate sons of the other three families in Cape City?
The lady is still a lady after all. Her talent in martial arts is impeccable, but her emotional intelligence is really a headache.

"Haiyao is now at the right age to get married, so let's choose her!"

"Okay, I'll leave this to you!" Yue Lingke patted Hong Xing's shoulder, "The four families are going to hold a banquet recently, so you can call them up and let them get to know each other. See what the two little guys think first. If they think it's appropriate, then it's done. If not, we can't force them to do it."

"Eh……"

Before Hong Xing could say something, Yue Lingke disappeared into the courtyard in a flash.

Returning to his own courtyard, Yue Lingke's lips curled up slightly, and he was very satisfied with his arrangements.

As for emotional intelligence, it’s not like she doesn’t have it. But when your strength is enough to crush others, is emotional intelligence that important?
She was too lazy to think so much. If she had that time, she might as well study more martial arts techniques.

Suddenly, she stopped and looked at the middle-aged man in blue who suddenly appeared in front of her.

"I have been in the courtyard all the time and have never gone out!"

After seeing who was coming, Yue Lingke quickly explained.

You see, she only uses her emotional intelligence when her strength is insufficient.

The middle-aged man in blue rolled his eyes, wondering who his daughter learned this habit from.

"Get ready, let's go to Haishi again during this time!"

He didn't have time to waste on talking with Yue Lingke and said bluntly, since they dared to attack their Yue family, isn't the Dragon God Temple prepared to pay the price?

Yue Lingke's eyes were full of excitement. With just one sentence, she knew what her father was going to do.

Her sword has been thirsty for a long time!
……

Inner city, Bai family.

After the Kuangfeng returned, Feng Kuang rested for a while before coming here.

It was a blessing in disguise for him. What he experienced in the past few days actually made him feel blessed. He broke through the bottleneck of bone strengthening and reached the eighth level of body strengthening.

With the improvement of strength, his status will naturally be different. If it were before, he would not be qualified to step into the Bai family mansion.

Soon, under the guidance of the ordinary steward, he met the target of this trip, the deacon of the Bai family's Lianzang realm, in a pavilion.

"Butler White!"

Feng Kuang saluted respectfully. In this world, the strong are respected, and this is the respect that should be given to the strong.

Deacon Bai smiled gently, "No need to be polite, I heard that you have gained a lot this time."

"You have been in charge of the Wind for many years, and have made many contributions to the Bai family in and out of the waves. Tell me what you want. As long as it is not too excessive, I can agree to it on behalf of the Bai family."

Feng Kuang knew that if he did not break through to the eighth level of body forging, he would not get this promise even if he continued to be in charge of the Kuangfeng for the Bai family for decades.

But he didn't come here for any benefits.

"If it weren't for the Bai family, how could I be in charge of the Wind? I should be grateful to the Bai family. I dare not ask for more."

Feng Kuang is also a very experienced man.

"I came here this time to recommend a talent to the Bai family."

He then narrated Cao Ze's performance along the way, his sophisticated swordsmanship, and his breakthrough to the Bone Tempering Realm at a young age. Of course, he did not mention the matter of the dragon tendons.

"Oh? Wang Hai, swordsmanship, strength..."

"According to what you said, you are really a talented person!"

"If what you said is true, the Bai family will naturally not miss such a talent and will give him the treatment he deserves."

Butler Bai made a promise.

"Thank you, Butler Bai!"

Feng Kuang clasped his fists.

He came here this time just for this matter.

Only with the support of a big family can Cao Ze's talents be fully tapped, and then he might really reach a surprising level.

Since Cao Ze has no connections, he naturally has to help him.
