Chapter 188: Mu Lin Is Fought over by Officers

The Dao Palace was established by the royal family and the aristocratic families, and these two families would not do anything without profit. Therefore, the students trained by the Dao Palace were never free.

After leaving the Dao Palace, Mu Lin and his friends had to enter the Demon Suppression Division or the army to work for the empire. Since the empire was dominated by the royal family and the aristocratic families, they could be considered to be working for the latter two.

This system made the students of the Dao Palace basically the reserve of the Demon Suppression Division and the army... Well, because the Qigong practitioners were rare and powerful, their status was slightly better than that of the warriors. Strictly speaking, they were reserve officers.

At the same time, no matter which team, they had the instinct to expand themselves, and the Demon Suppression Division and the army were no exception.

Because talents were the most important in any era, the Tianjiao Assessment held by Yuhu Daoyuan attracted many senior officials from the Demon Suppression Division and the army.

They wanted to screen geniuses through this assessment and recruit them in advance - this was also what they had to do. In this war era, the major legions and the Demon Suppression Division were facing countless pressures, which made the combat power in their hands always insufficient.

Because everyone is eager for talent, geniuses are in short supply.

In such a fierce competition, if you don't take the initiative to win over geniuses in advance, they will be won over by others.

Nowadays, these people are very satisfied with Mu Lin's performance.

"He is powerful and unstoppable. He is a fierce general who deserves to join our Canglong Corps."

As soon as these words came out, some people were dissatisfied.

"Calling the wind and rain, turning the rivers and seas upside down, Mu Lin is obviously better at water battles, and he should join my Kunpeng Corps."

"No, no, no, you are all wrong. Summoning hundreds of paper people and letting them disguise as lifelike civilians, this way of fighting can easily lure out the demons and monsters hidden among humans. This obviously should join my Demon Suppression Division."

In order to get Mu Lin, the officer of the Demon Suppression Division said with some emotion: "I can't even tell the lifelike paper people apart. This trick alone can save us from countless losses."

"In order to fully exert Mu Lin's ability, please give Mu Lin to me."

The officer of the Demon Suppression Division said sincerely, but unfortunately, no one agreed with his words.

"Luring demons and monsters is indeed a beautiful trick, but in the army, Mu Lin can also play a big role. Those hundreds of paper people are the best scouts."

He can be as brave as a thousand when advancing, and can act as a scout to identify all directions when retreating.

Even if he was left behind, he could still wipe out the demons and protect the peace of the area. The almighty Mu Lin satisfied the military and the Demon Suppression Division.

But because Mu Lin was too outstanding, several leaders who came here to recruit people started to fight each other.

They couldn't give in either. In the wilderness and the frontier, their teammates who were as close as brothers were fighting against demons and demons. In this case, every time they pulled in a powerful genius, their own and their teammates' chances of survival would be higher. In this case, whoever dared to give in would have his head smashed by the leaders of the major legions.

Several mages and real people who looked at each other were all raising their momentum, trying to force others to give up.

However, the strength of the few people was not much different, and they could not threaten them at all.

Seeing this, the manager of the Canglong Corps immediately cried poorly: "Brother, it's not that I'm not modest, it's just that the front line can't hold on any longer. If the front line collapses, you guys in the rear..."

"You're fine, but my Kunpeng Corps is really miserable. After all, we humans make a living on land, and we are not used to fighting water ghosts. Now we finally have someone who can fight on water, and you're still fighting with me. Don't you want the water defense line?"

"Ahem, my Demon Suppression Division also wants to protect the peace of mankind. Only when the rear is stable can we support the front..."

After a talk, the three of them understood that the other party had reasons and were unwilling to retreat. Seeing this, the three of them snorted and immediately ordered their advisers to collect information about Mu Lin, and discussed what kind of treatment should be given to Mu Lin, and how to win over Mu Lin.

Soon, the news of the three people fighting for Mu Lin spread out - this situation mainly occurred because the supervisor of the Demon Suppression Division did not conceal it, and even took the initiative to spread it.

The reason for doing this is to join hands with the rich and powerful, jointly invest, and keep Mu Lin in the Demon Suppression Division.

The army stationed at the border is different from the Demon Suppression Division that protects the rear.

The former is bitter and cold, and can only spend money and effort to attract talents.

The Demon Suppression Division is different. They are stationed in various places and are basically integrated with the local dignitaries.

At the same time, their interests are closely related to those rich and powerful.

The richer the more afraid of death, no matter where the rich are, they don’t want to eat delicious food, listen to songs, and then suddenly be robbed by demons and monsters.

Not wanting to end up like this, they naturally want to have a powerful defender where they live.

For this reason, they don’t mind spending money and effort to keep the strong or the geniuses and let them protect themselves.

"Everyone, you have seen Mu Lin's talent and strength. He can divide a hundred bodies to protect an area."

"That's just now. If he continues to grow stronger, he can even defend a city by himself."

"More importantly, those paper figures that look like living people can easily lure out demons and monsters, making the area where you live safe..."

Hearing this, without the people from the Demon Suppression Division continuing to speak, someone immediately said, "General Zhang, I understand. I'm willing to offer a shop so that Mu Lin can stay in Youlong City."

"Ahem, Mu Lin is studying at Anping Dao Palace. He should stay in Anping City. I'm willing to offer three thousand spirit stones..."

Either resources or spirit stones, in order to keep Mu Lin, many wealthy people are contributing money and effort.

At the same time, those who learned about this matter, while lamenting that Mu Lin was valued by many officers, also understood that Mu Lin at this moment was no longer a powerless little man.

He was favored by the Demon Suppression Division and the major legions, and he already had a backer, and even the children of the rich and powerful would not easily provoke the Demon Suppression Division and the people in the army.

"With such talent, he can already be on par with the children of aristocratic families."

"This is normal. He can stand out from the five Taoist palaces. He is one of the most outstanding people among the poor families. As long as the aristocratic families are not stupid, they will not reject him, but will think of absorbing him."

Just as some wealthy merchants thought, some people really wanted to bring Mu Lin into their families.

Even these wealthy merchants themselves were tempted.

It's not their fault. The status of Qigong practitioners is high. As a genius among them, Mu Lin will become a senior official whether he enters the Demon Suppression Division or the army as long as he doesn't die.

And many wealthy merchants understand that only by controlling power can their status be stable and their business will not be spied on by others.

This is true for wealthy merchants and aristocratic families.

Their status is not eternal. In order to maintain their own family status, they also need to work hard to place their own confidants and subordinates in the court, the army, and the Demon Suppression Division.

Without capable people to help, the specific fate can be referred to the four major families of Jia, Shi, Wang and Xue in Dream of Red Mansions.

The four kings and eight dukes, with such noble status, will end up with a white earth and clean once there is no one in the army or the court.

Therefore, as long as the family is not stupid, they will think of winning over Mu Lin, and although the marriage is an old-fashioned way, it is also the most practical.

"Mu Lin, he is already qualified to marry my daughter."

Thinking of this, some noble ladies looked at Chu Lingluo's mother with more and more strange expressions.

"Such a son-in-law would actually take the initiative to push away, your Chu family is really amazing."

Those noble ladies looked weird, and Chu Lingluo's mother looked more gloomy and had a headache.

Now, as Mu Lin's performance is getting better and better, the matter about him is no longer a private matter between her and her daughter, but a major event related to the development of the family.

In this case, she who made a wrong judgment must be punished by the family.

"Trouble."

...

Mu Lin knew nothing about the things and quarrels outside at this time, and at the same time, he was in no mood to pay attention to them.

He was happily cleaning up the demons and evil spirits, but suddenly found something strange. The paper figures he released were being cleaned up quickly. What made him look even uglier was that the people who cleaned up his paper figures were not demons and evil spirits, but... humans!

"I was targeted by Yuhu Taoist Temple!"

Thinking of this, Mu Lin found that he was not surprised, but felt it was reasonable.
