Chapter 49: The President of the Branch
Located next to a crossroads in Lionte Street in Panhu City, the Langtian Adventure Group branch has two floors, and is made of bricks and tiles in the northerner architectural style, with red roof tiles that distinguish it from the surrounding buildings and make it easy to identify.
On one side of the branch wall hangs the signboard of the Langtian Adventure Group, which is carved with the rolling waves and an iron hand with a fist sticking out of the waves, symbolizing the faith of the adventure traveler to wander the world and the iron will.
Walking into the branch hut, the three of them were greeted by a notice board placed on the left side of the reception desk, on which various cases confessed by the client were posted. The client must write down the case he or she wants to entrust in front of the workbench on the right, sign it, and then hand it to the branch manager, and after discussing the deadline with the branch president, the branch leader will post it on the notice board.
Before they set off, Cao Yintian had already explained the steps of submitting the commission clearly, but Shen Fangli was reluctant to write, and the description and signature of the entrusted event were all completed by Liu Yuhan, and after Liu Yuhan signed his name, Shen Fangli found an embarrassing thing - there was no one in front of the reception desk of the branch.
This made Shen Fangli feel a little overwhelmed, it seems that the person in charge of the branch is not here today, what should I do? Another day, maybe they won't have the leisure time to come here.
At this time, Shen Fangli noticed that a little girl who was just over her waist was carefully posting the entrustment agreement in front of the notice board, she was wearing a light pink long-sleeved shirt, a pair of bright eyes, and a black double ponytail.
Liu Yuhan stabbed Shen Fangli's shoulder with his right hand, his face was full of joy to see his own clan, and then stepped forward and gently patted the little girl on the back.
The little girl screamed, hurriedly turned around and pouted at Liu Yuhan and said, "You...... Why are you scaring people, don't you see that I'm busy? ”
"I'm sorry, little sister, we came here to submit the entrusted task, but we didn't see the person in charge of the branch, can you tell us, where are the president and the person in charge of the branch?" Liu Yuhan's words were very polite, she rarely spoke to people in this tone, if it weren't for the other party's face as a little girl, with this kind of service attitude, she would definitely scold others.
"Huh...... Who am I? The little girl put her hands on her waist and showed a smug smile, "Then you are lucky to meet me, the professional person in charge of the most efficient work in the continent and known as the thief Xiaomeow." ”
"It turns out that you are the head of the branch, and it is really remarkable that you can take on this job at a young age. ”
"Of course, the Langtian Adventure Group is your wisest choice, if you become a member, the commission fee can also be discounted by 7%, if you change to another adventure group, how can there be such a good service quality?" Hearing Shen Fangli's praise, the little girl smiled even more happily, she introduced the steps to apply for a membership card to everyone, but the three of them were not interested in this, so the smile on her face gradually faded, and turned into a somewhat angry look," You must be entrusting the expedition party for the first time, so you don't know our rules, the Langtian adventure party stipulates that if the client who submits the task for the first time does not apply for membership, an intermediary fee of fifty bellons will be charged. ”
Although we don't know much about the rules of the adventure traveler's business, it is so obvious that the rules of the money collection can only be a trick to bluff children. Liu Yuhan glanced at the little girl with disdain, then gently touched her head and smiled, "I almost forgot, you're just a little girl, who did you learn these ghost ideas from?"
"You...... Dare to underestimate me, let you see how powerful I am!" The little girl pushed Liu Yuhan's hand away and clasped her hands tightly, as if she was accumulating strength.
"You little girl, your tongue is like cheese, and you don't even have a good nickname, so I think it's more appropriate to call you 'meow thief'. Liu Yuhan continued to sarcastically speak, not taking the little girl in her eyes at all, in her opinion, as long as she pressed a finger on the little girl's forehead, the little girl could not approach her.
But Liu Yuhan was completely wrong, the little girl didn't know what trick she used to take away the Yingbi sword tied to her body and the scabbard out of thin air, watching the little girl playing with her saber in front of her, she was obviously a little anxious, and shouted: "Give it back to me!"
"No, I won't pay it back! unless you apologize to me!"
Liu Yuhan then chased the little girl in the reception hall, she found that this girl was very naughty, making faces while running, and finally hid in the service desk, closing the door, no matter how hard Liu Yuhan tried, she couldn't reach her.
Shen Fangli and Mu Yunxi laughed and watched the excitement on the side, to be honest, the person who could put Liu Yuhan in such an embarrassing situation, Elanis Academy did not exist yet.
The laughter of the crowd disturbed the other person in the room, who yawned and shuffled down the stairs leading to the second floor with heavy steps, scratching his messy hair as he went.
The little girl who saw the middle-aged man happily threw herself into his arms and called Daddy.
The man helped his huge glasses, looked the three of them up and down, and then said after a long hiccup: "You are here to entrust the task, I'm really sorry, the three of you, please sit down, please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality." ”
After that, the man brought three wooden chairs for the three of them to sit down, and he saw the Yingbi sword in the little girl's hand, so he asked the reason for the incident.
"It's this sister's fault, otherwise Yaoxi wouldn't have done that, unless she apologizes first, or I won't change it to her. ”
"Forget it, how can you fool your father with those little tricks, our Wandering Adventure Group doesn't have that rule at all, and what you do is damage our reputation. ”
"This ...... I'm also for the adventure group, everyone knows that our adventure group has no business for a few months, how can I explain to Aunt Lin if it goes on like this, you still blame your daughter. ”
"Okay, my father knows that you are thinking about the adventure party, but the customer is our God, and it is not right to deceive people, so return the sword to others. ”
Although the man yawned every time he said a word, the little girl still listened, but she was embarrassed to hand over the sword to Liu Yuhan herself, and her father took it by herself, she only said sorry, and hid behind the man shyly.
The man handed the sword to Liu Yuhan with both hands, and said softly: "Yingbi Sword, one of the top ten famous swords in the world, used to be my sister's sword, but I didn't expect you to be the next holder of this sword, you have to take good care of it." ”
"What did you say?"
Liu Yuhan obviously didn't hear the man's words clearly, but the man had already found a chair to sit down and began to introduce himself.
The man's name is Lin Yantian, the president of the branch of the Langtian Adventure Group, and the deputy head of the Langtian Adventure Group, and the little girl is her daughter, named Lin Yaoxi.
Lin Yantian and his daughter have been in Panhu City for nearly three years, and the business of the branch has been sluggish, and he often can't receive a single commission for a few months, so every time he reports his performance to the headquarters, he will be scolded by his sister. Although he has reflected on his business strategy, he just can't find an effective solution, so he can only sleep lazily to survive.
"Dad, this is an excuse you make for your laziness, don't mention the ugly things, let's talk about the right thing. Lin Yaoxi pointed at Lin Yantian and puffed out his mouth.
Lin Yantian took a puff of his cigarette and said absentmindedly, "Okay, then you can talk to me about the content of this entrusted mission." ”
So Shen Fangli told Lin Yantian about the fire in the Orfinn orphanage, hoping that he could find a way to investigate for them. It wasn't until Shen Fangli finished telling the content of the commission that she noticed that Lin Yantian didn't pay attention to her words at all, but focused on the saber on Mu Yunxi's body.
"Hey, are you listening to me?"
"This sword of yours is called the Yanhe Sword, it was originally my sword, can you hand it to me?"
"Really, I didn't expect you to be the owner of the Fusion Sword that Liu Yuhan and I have been looking for, and you can meet you here, it's such a coincidence!"
Lin Yantian didn't seem to hear Shen Fangli's shout at all, and just chatted with Mu Yunxi, which made Shen Fangli very helpless, this guy said that he wanted to talk about business, and a broken sword could also open his lengthy chatterbox.
"Don't underestimate the Yingbi Sword and the Yanhe Sword, these two twin famous swords, but they were used by my sister and I to go through the rivers and lakes back then. Lin Yantian took out the fusion sword from the scabbard, and after swinging it a few times, he retracted the sword back into its sheath at a very fast speed, and then returned it to Mu Yunxi, and told everyone the origin of the twin famous swords.
Becoming an adventure traveler is Lin Yantian and his sister Lin Bilang's dream when they were children, for this dream, the two siblings continue to work hard, they have cultivated a large number of spells and combat skills, in order to improve their cultivation, so that they can become excellent adventure travelers. But soon the two siblings discovered that it was not enough to have a strong cultivation, but also needed a competent weapon to support them to ensure that they could successfully complete the tasks assigned by the client.
So the Yanhe Sword and the Yingbi Sword were born, created by the world's most famous swordsmith, fluorescent and clear, extremely sharp, and can also swing a sharp sword aura, injuring the enemy invisibly.
The twin swords greatly improved the cultivation of Lin Yantian and Lin Bilang, and their efficient task completion rate began to be recognized by the world, and then the two siblings founded the Langtian Adventure Group, which means wandering the world and being free.
Originally, the two siblings thought that Yanhe Sword and Yingbi Sword would always accompany them through their entire adventurous life, but they were completely wrong, as time went by, they found that many things could not be solved by cultivating high, and then the two siblings became families, and part of their energy was focused on taking care of their children, especially Lin Yantian's wife died early, and the burden of the family fell on him alone, at this time the two siblings realized that the day of saying goodbye to the twin swords had come.
They sold the Yanhe Sword and the Yingbi Sword at a low price to the owner of the Gathering Blade Weapon Shop, hoping that the young people who knew the two swords would buy the sword and inherit their ideals.
"It turns out that the story about this sword is like this, it's completely different from what Fang Li thinks. Mu Yunxi laughed a few times.
"Oh, what is the story of this girl's imaginary Fusion Sword?" asked Mu Yunxi with great interest.
"Well...... this"
"Mu Yunxi, if you dare to say it, you will die!" Hearing Shen Fangli's lion-like warning, Mu Yunxi immediately covered his mouth, but Lin Yantian's interest had not diminished, Shen Fangli saw this and quickly opened the topic, "That's it for the commission, is there anything else we need to do?"
"We hope that you will join the detective club on campus to cooperate with our work, and we will complete the commission you have given you within ten days. Lin Yantian shrugged his shoulders and sat up straight, "Regarding the matter of the entrustment fee, two hundred Belen, I believe that this price is quite reasonable." ”
After completing the relevant entrustment procedures and paying the entrustment fee, the three of them walked out of the branch of the Langtian Adventure Group, and before leaving, Lin Yaoxi also made a grimace at Liu Yuhan, and Liu Yuhan also greeted him with contempt, saying that the two of them were married.
Shen Fangli persuaded Liu Yuhan that there was no need to deal with an ignorant little girl, but she didn't listen to it at all, and instead said that Shen Fangli should be defensive about others, otherwise she would regret it when she suffered.
Regarding Liu Yuhan's remarks, Mu Yunxi neither agreed nor supported, but just continued to follow his path, putting on an expression as if someone owed him money.
Shen Fangli knew in her heart that the person Mu Yunxi's expression was aimed at was herself, and this time she entrusted her to borrow another hundred Belon from Mu Yunxi, in order to delay the repayment date as much as possible, she had to use her clever tongue to talk about some inconsequential things.
"By the way, does our academy have a detective club? Why didn't I know?"
"Alas, Yuhan said that you are lonely and unheard, and you are not wrong at all!" Mu Yunxi shook his head helplessly and replied.
