Chapter 168: Recruiting Students
“B-boss, is something the matter?”
Several seconds went by without any response, so Wei Ping began shaking Li Lang’s shoulders to bring him back to reality. As someone who had been by his side for years, he knew exactly how to handle him.
“Hmm? Oh, sorry about that. Just thinking about how this will be tricky,” Li Lang finally replied.
“Y-You’re right. They probably won’t l-let us take anyone with good aptitude.”
The two young men then directed their gaze at the group of young children awaiting their decision. Most of them had either grade one or two aptitude, but there happened to be one child with grade three aptitude. It was one of the top performers, which got Li Lang deliberating if it was worth trying to take him under their wing.
“We likely won’t be able to afford the price this Rigid Squall Sect asks for.”
“Should w-we just give up on him, then?”
“Hmm, I don’t think we have any other choice.”
“Then t-that leaves us with only t-two who passed.”
“That’s fine for now. We still have other places to visit, and we can only bring back so many. We also ought to ask if they’re willing to come with us to demonic territory first.”
With the matter settled, the two young men walked back over toward the group of children that had undisguised anticipation in their eyes.
“We won’t waste any more of your time,” Li Lang shouted. “There are two who have passed our tests. Xiao Dong, and Wu San, step forward.”
