Chapter 134 This is my house
The Forest of Beasts is vast, and even though Gu Qinghan is already a Spiritual Master it still took him quite some time to return to Mingcheng from the Forest of Beasts.
Mingcheng is not a big city, but it is still prosperous. The streets are crowded with people and the noise is deafening, making it very lively.
Gu Qinghan flew quickly to the house he bought based on the route he remembered. Mingcheng did not prohibit flying, and Gu Qinghan was too lazy to walk on the ground.
Her house was on the outskirts of the city, just on the east side of Mingcheng. Just walk east after entering the city, past the bustling neighborhood.
What she didn't expect was that there were people living in her house, and she could even hear the constant hustle and bustle of the place.
Gu Qinghan pushed the door open with full of doubts, and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.
There were at least thirty people standing or sitting scattered inside, and the originally spacious yard now looked crowded.
They were all wearing tattered clothes, but they were not dirty. Everyone's clothes had some patches on them, and they were patched up, so they could barely be considered neat.
"Who are you? Why do you break into someone else's house?" A loud male voice sounded, and the crowd immediately became chaotic. Those who were sitting stood up, looking at her intently, very vigilantly.
"I didn't know you bought my house." Gu Qinghan didn't get angry but laughed instead. It turned out that this was what it felt like when the thief cried thief. Not only was his house occupied, but she even broke into someone else's house when she came back. It was simply too funny.
"If you say it's yours, then it's yours. Do you have the title deed?" A man walked out of the crowd. He was tall, but his clothes were tattered like the people around him.
Gu Qinghan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He condensed a projection of the house in his hand and threw a stone at random, which happened to hit the man just now.
This action was seen clearly, and no matter how hard they tried to defend themselves, they had to admit that this was the little girl's house.
"I'm sorry for occupying your house." The leading man bowed deeply to express his apology, and the huge group of people behind him also bowed in unison.
"We're sorry to have borrowed your house. We saw that no one had lived here for a long time, so we took the initiative to move in. We haven't touched any of your things." After standing up, the man spoke first without waiting for Gu Qinghan to speak, his voice a little timid.
"Who are you? How long have you lived here?"
"We are homeless cultivators from the neighborhood, and have lived here for nearly half a year."
"Why don't you work hard on your own instead of occupying someone else's house?"
"It's not that we don't want to, it's that we can't. We don't have an identity token, so we can neither do odd jobs nor do business." A girl who looked to be in her teens couldn't help but speak out, her eyes bright and she was a little timid, but she still looked at her straight.
Gu Qinghan heard her slightly trembling voice and looked in the direction of the voice. It was a child about his own age, with messy hair that was a little dry and yellow, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.
"What level of cultivation do most of you have?"
"We have three senior spiritual masters, five intermediate spiritual masters, and eight junior spiritual masters. The rest are spiritualists." The man's voice was a little proud and confident.
"Why don't you try to be a guard in a rich family? Isn't it a pity to have such a high level of cultivation?"
A spiritual master is indeed considered to be of high level in this small city. After all, most of the people here are spiritualists or spiritualists.
"I've already told you that we don't have an identity token, so if we go to a rich family we'll just be treated as illegal laborers." The little girl couldn't help but interrupt again, with a hint of anger in her voice.
"Xiao Qi, don't be so mean to this lady." The woman behind her stepped forward, pulled her back into her arms, and scolded her.
Gu Qinghan didn't think anything of it, he just nodded. It was rare for a group of homeless cultivators to be considered well-mannered.
"I'm sorry, young lady, for occupying your house. We will get out now and clean up your house. We don't have spirit stones and can't pay you. If you need anything, we can do chores for you." The man said sincerely, and the people behind him nodded vigorously, indicating that they were willing as well.
As soon as he finished speaking, the people behind him started to move, and began to pack up the things left in the house and started to clean up.
"Where can you go after you go out?" Gu Qinghan looked at their quick movements, feeling a little amused. She hadn't planned to let them go yet, so how could they have arranged it so quickly?
"Well, I'll just sleep on the street, or find a place where no one wants me and live there." The man said, feeling embarrassed, his face slightly red.
There are more than a dozen spiritual masters and spiritualists. It seems that it is not a bad idea to recruit them.
Gu Qinghan frowned and considered the possibility of recruiting all the people. She was not short of spirit stones, but she was really short of thugs and organizations that could help her.
"Are you confident that all of you can become spiritual masters within a year?" Gu Qinghan asked after hesitating for a while.
"Miss, we don't have any resources. We have cultivated our skills through desperate battles with spirit beasts. I'm afraid it's impossible to do it in a year."
He also has rich practical experience. He seems to be a good candidate.
"Well, would you like to consider working for me?" Gu Qinghan hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.
After hearing her words, everyone stopped what they were doing, as if they couldn't believe it. No one dared to ask another question.
"Are you so unwilling? I can pay with spirit stones, emm, and I can also solve your food and accommodation problems. Uh, and resources, I can also provide them." Gu Qinghan thought of the operation of retaining talents in his previous life. It has been so long that he almost forgot it.
"Really? Is it true?" Li Lang seemed to be stunned and stuttered when asking.
"Do I look poor?" Gu Qinghan looked at himself. He was wearing a black training suit and had no accessories on. He certainly didn't look like a rich man.
"No, no, that's not it. We didn't expect that you would plan to take us in. It's okay without spirit stones and resources. Just leave us a place to eat and stay. We are willing to serve you." Li Lang's voice was a little excited. His lifeless look was gone, replaced by bright and hot eyes.
The person behind him had the same bright eyes as him. Although he was a displaced person, he still had such a sincere look in his eyes, which was truly surprising.
"Is there anyone who doesn't want to? Those who don't want to can leave. I won't force you." Gu Qinghan didn't reply to him, but asked another question.
The group of people didn't move and just stood there. It was a joke. If there was an employer willing to take them in, how could they not want to?
"Okay, since you are all willing, I hope you can sign a knight's contract here to prevent anyone from being unfaithful."
"My name is Gu Qinghan."
After getting the employer's name, everyone cut their hands and swore an oath to heaven with their own blood.
Gu Qinghan also cut open his palm to establish contact with them.
Bright golden light fell from the sky, melting their blood and essence into one, weaving it into chains and tying them to each person.
