When Tang Rao arrived at the Sui City Defense Bureau, he immediately caught sight of Mo Xinyu standing at the entrance.

Jeans paired with a long light-gray coat, hair pinned up, she looked a bit less sweet and more alluring.

"Beauty, waiting for someone?" Tang Rao walked behind Mo Xinyu and asked with a smile.

Mo Xinyu immediately turned around.

"Brother Tang, you're finally here," Mo Xinyu said somewhat excitedly, her cheeks slightly blushing and a smile on her face.

"Have you been waiting long? Sorry, I got held up by some things," Tang Rao said.

"No worries, I just came out too. Let's hurry in, they are waiting," Mo Xinyu said. "Brother Tang, with your strength, you'll definitely be able to become a senior member at the Defense Bureau. You'll have to cover for me later!"

"I have no problem looking out for you, but..." Tang Rao started.

"But what?" Mo Xinyu asked.

Tang Rao just shrugged and did not continue. He actually wanted to tell Mo Xinyu, 'I can look out for you, but as for the Defense Bureau, I'm just playing along with them. You might be disappointed with that.'

Tang Rao didn't say these words to Mo Xinyu, knowing it would only worry her if she knew too much.

"Let's go, let's go in first and see. Maybe there are old acquaintances," Tang Rao said.

"Yeah," Mo Xinyu did not probe further into Tang Rao's words, thinking that the 'old acquaintances' might just be a casual remark from him.

Quickly, Tang Rao followed Mo Xinyu into a large conference hall saw several officials seated there, including Dr. Li who had previously assisted in testing Tang Rao.

Of course, there were also Cultivators holding Super Technology Weapons, likely from the military system, with firm and resolute eyes.

Seeing these people, Tang Rao felt somewhat intrigued and actually recognized two of them.

They were previously high-ranking members of the Special Ninth Department and had attended meetings with him.

However, these two would not recognize him now—Tang Rao was always using Illusion Technique to hide his face. If he didn't, he'd be unable to get anything done without being mobbed on the streets.

His appearance had long been exposed, and his reputation as the father of super technology was well-known.

"Are you Tang Laosan?" The leading official knocked on the table and asked Tang Rao.

"Yeah, I am," Tang Rao nodded.

Tang Rao might not know this person's name, but he was one of the two he knew.

"I'm Tian Qiang, a supervisor from the Tiandu headquarters of the Cultivator Defense Bureau. I'm here to invite you to join the Defense Bureau. Dr. Li mentioned your strength is quite good, and I think joining the Defense Bureau would be your best choice," Tian Qiang addressed Tang Rao, his tone filled with undeniable authority and arrogance.

"Inspector Tian, well... let me speak, if you please," Dr. Li appeared anxious.

What was Tian Qiang thinking? Didn't I make it clear? This Tang Laosan is at least a Cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage. Talking to him like this could easily provoke him.

For such a powerful Cultivator, we should be persuasive and appeal to his emotions, not like this, speaking so rigidly—it's totally reckless.

"Dr. Li, I've got it under control," Tian Qiang glanced at Dr. Li.

"I could join," Tang Rao nodded, seemingly indifferent to Tian Qiang's tone, "but there's got to be some benefits, right? If there aren't any benefits, then I'm not interested."

"Of course, there are benefits..." Dr. Li said.

"Benefits? What do you think the Defense Bureau is? Let me tell you, the Cultivator Defense Bureau is the best destination for people like you. We are committed to the defense and safety of Blue Star, to creating a harmonious world environment. You're from the Flame Country, aren't you? How is it that you don't even want to fulfill this duty?" Tian Qiang interrupted Dr. Li, still speaking assertively.

Tang Rao almost cursed out loud.

You're speaking as if it's true, as if you're really committed to the security and defense of Blue Star. If it weren't for me, this place would have long become a battlefield fought over by all the forces of the Nine Realms and the Seventy-two Domains.

"It seems that there are no benefits then. Since that's the case, I'm not very interested. Sorry, but I prefer a bit more freedom, goodbye to you." Tang Rao waved his hand, ready to leave.

"Stop right there!" Tian Qiang had stood up, looking very angry.

The guards around him also raised their super technology weapons, eyeing Tang Rao fiercely, as if they were ready to strike at any moment.

Tang Rao turned around, his gaze had grown cold.

"What, are you going to make a move?" Tang Rao asked, his tone somewhat disdainful.

"I've said before, the Defense Bureau is committed to the security and protection of Blue Star. Since you are unwilling to join the Defense Bureau, you are an enemy of the Defense Bureau. We have never been soft-hearted towards enemies. Rest assured, we won't kill you, we will just cripple your cultivation." Tian Qiang said.

Dr. Li was frantic, wondering what the hell Tian Qiang was doing here.

Is this really how you do things?

"Cripple my cultivation? Just with a few of you people?" Tang Rao's mouth curved up slightly in a sneer. Those guards, the strongest of them are only at the early stage of Nascent Soul. Even if they have super technology weapons, their combat power won't exceed the middle stage of Nascent Soul. With this little strength, they are so arrogant?

"What if you add me to the equation?" At this moment, the door to the large conference room was pushed open, and a burly man strode in. He had a square face and looked extremely tough, exuding an iron-blooded aura all over.

Tang Rao glanced at the man; his strength seemed decent, late stage of Soul Division.

Blue Star hasn't been in contact with cultivation for very long. Reaching the late stage of Soul Division so quickly, this person's aptitude is indeed very outstanding.

Even Tang Rao himself, when he first began cultivation, took several years to reach the Soul Division stage.

"Are you sure you want to take such coercive measures?" Tang Rao looked at Tian Qiang.

"It's not coercive measures. It's just that you are unwilling to cooperate. If you're willing to join the Defense Bureau and accept its commands and dispatches, none of this would happen. Of course, you still have the chance now." Tian Qiang said.

"Brother Tang, please, just agree," Mo Xinyu whispered from the side.

Tang Rao exhaled slightly, looking at Mo Xinyu, then at Tian Qiang, and at the man in the late stage of Soul Division.

"Alright, then I'll agree," Tang Rao suddenly smiled, nodded and said, agreeing for now and dealing with today's account later. I will settle this with you sooner or later.

Late Soul Division stage, you really take yourself seriously.

If it weren't for wanting to have a bit of fun, I wouldn't bother arguing with you, could beat you until you wouldn't know east from west.

Hearing Tang Rao's agreement, Tian Qiang's face immediately showed a smile.

"That's better. If you had agreed earlier, none of this would have happened," Tian Qiang said, glancing at Dr. Li with a humming sound.

His meaning was obvious: you see, to deal with this kind of person, you have to use my method.

Dr. Li shook his head helplessly, really wanting to tell Tian Qiang: doing things this way, one day you're going to fall flat on your face.
