Upon arriving back at Fanling City, he found the store was as bustling as ever. The only thing different from when he left was that the recruitment queue was gone, replaced by a much smaller line of individuals holding jade slips. The successful applicants. Or at least, those who passed Xiaoyu and Meiyu's aptitude test.
Xiaoyu and Wu Meiyu were waiting for him at the recruitment table, looking tired but triumphant.
"Welcome back, Boss!" Xiaoyu chirped. "How was your field trip? I read Jiahao's thread. A winged Decrint Tribe Skirmisher was being chased by the barbarians? So, did you find the Anchor? Did you bring the foreign creature back with you?"
With a playful flick to her forehead, Lin Mo replied. "Slow down, Xiaoyu. One question at a time."
