"Sign in!"
Ji Ling did not even return to his room and directly signed in at the courtyard.
Under the cover of his Divine Sense (which only Saints possessed), even a martial grandmaster would not be able to spy on the situation in the courtyard. He was completely unafraid of being exposed.
In fact, with his current strength, it was not a big deal even if he was exposed. If anyone dared to harm him, he could just slap them to death. There was no need to worry at all.
However, he did not want to expose himself for the time being because he was afraid of creating a sense of distance with the people around him.
There weren't many people he cared about anymore. Only people like An Ru and Yi Yunshan who were close to him were worthy of his care. Therefore, he didn't want to expose too much at once and let them become unfamiliar with him. After all, there was always a process of acceptance. Even if the people who were close to him couldn't accept it psychologically, it would inevitably cause estrangement.
"Ding! The sign-in is successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining an SS-rank character: Xuan Jian!"

……
As a blurry white light appeared, a middle-aged man with a cold face and two swords in his hands walked out.
He held black in one hand and white in the other. It was the Black and White Profound Splitter!
"Xuan Jian greets my lord."
Xuan Jian knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully to Ji Ling.
"Get up."
Ji Ling nodded his head to indicate. If it was in the past, when he obtained a great expert like Xuan Jian, even if he wasn't excited, he would more or less be happy. But now, there was already no fluctuation in his heart.
In the past few years, after his strength had broken through to the Zongshi realm, S-rank rewards had become the norm. SS-rank rewards were no longer rare. They would appear once every two or three times. Now, SS-rank rewards were only at the minimum standard. They could not be any more ordinary. Why would Ji Ling take such rewards seriously?
"I don't have any good errands for you at the moment. You can go to the network to do some chores first.”
Ji Ling casually dismissed him. The handyman he said was the literal meaning of handyman, and he was not asking Xuan Jian to go and capture the Heaven Number One Assassin.
This was purely a bad taste.
Ji Ling had done the same thing many times in the past few years. For example, he had Yang go to Shen Wansan's Treasure Gathering Pavilion to be a clerk, Xu Zhu to be a sweeping monk in the top-notch sect, Fanyin Temple, Guihai Yidao and Cheng Fei to be the guards of the General's Estate, and even the two personal female guards by An Ruyi's side were the First and Second Palace Masters of the Shifting Flower Palace, Yao Yue Lian Xing…
"Yes, Xuan Jian."
Xuan Jian did not have the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. He responded respectfully and turned around to leave. He rushed to the headquarters of the Network according to the address that Ji Ling had sent him with his divine sense.
……
In a dark forest.
Xuan Jian's figure turned into a black shadow and shuttled through the dense forest that was set up with a bewitching array. In a short while, he arrived at the headquarters of the Network without anyone noticing.
From the outside, the headquarters of the network looked like an ordinary large house. However, in reality, the real headquarters of the network was in the mountain behind the house. It was a small city of traps built by hollowing out the mountain.
"Who dares to trespass into the forbidden area of the net!”
Xuan Jian had just arrived outside the large courtyard house when dozens of auras locked onto him. Immediately after, seven or eight figures took the lead to leap out from the interior of the courtyard house and surrounded Xuan Jian.
Xuan Jian looked at this scene calmly and said calmly,""This humble one has been ordered by the lord to come to the net to seek a job.”
"Find a job? Hmph, what kind of place do you think the Network is? Take him down!"
One of the leaders snorted coldly, and without any hesitation, he went to capture Xuan Jian with everyone else.
Seeing this scene, Xuan Jian's expression did not change. The black and white dual swords came out together to receive everyone's attack.
Clang!
Clang!
These few people were all Earth Grade Level One assassins of the Network. Their strength ranged from the first stage to the sixth stage of the Zongshi realm. Their lineup was very powerful. However, they were completely powerless in Xuan Jian's hands. After a round of exchange, they were all knocked down to the ground. If it wasn't for Xuan Jian not killing them, they would already be a pile of corpses.
" How is this possible?!"
This leader had a shocked expression. Seven to eight grandmasters ganged up on him, but he actually couldn't withstand a single blow in front of Xuan Jian. Even an ordinary martial arts great grandmaster couldn't possibly be so strong, right?
Could this person be a top grandmaster?
Thinking of this, the leader immediately gave up on the idea of continuing to attack. If a top-notch great grandmaster was placed in the net, he would be a heaven-grade assassin. With just Earth-grade assassins like them, how could they deal with an existence of this level? Now, only a Heaven Grade Level 1 expert could fight against him.
"Who dares to be impudent in the net!"
At this time, a vigorous figure wearing a mask broke through the air and came over. He held a black fish skin scabbard and a golden sword that swallowed the mouth. He stood on the courtyard wall and looked down at Xuan Jian from above. The cold killing intent in his eyes was like two sharp swords that shot onto Xuan Jian.
The number one assassin of the Network, Yan Thirteen!
"This humble one is only following the lord's orders to come to the net to seek a job. I have no ill intentions.”
Xuan Jian said indifferently.
"My lord? So you're one of us."
Upon hearing this title, Yan Shisan's killing intent instantly dissipated. He leaped and landed in front of Xuan Jian. He cupped his fists and said,"I'm Yan Thirteen.”
"I am Xuan Jian."
"Brother Xuan Jian, I wonder what task you came to the network for?”
Hearing Yan Thirteen's question, Xuan Jian said,""Doing odd jobs."
Doing odd jobs?
Everyone looked at each other. A top-notch expert at the Heaven Grade actually wanted to do odd jobs at the Network? Was there a mistake?
A strange look flashed across Yan Thirteen's eyes, but he didn't say anything. He made an inviting gesture and said,""Since that's the case, Brother Xuan Jian can follow this Yan to do some chores.”
"Sorry for the trouble."
Xuan Jian nodded and followed Yan Shisan to the office under the astonished gazes of the Earth Grade assassins.
Not long after, Yan Shisan brought Xuan Jian to the office and then he cupped his hands and bid farewell.
At this time, other than Xuan Jian, there was another person at the handyman's office. It was a young man dressed in cloth clothes who looked rather handsome. When he saw Xuan Jian come to the handyman's office, he enthusiastically went up,""Welcome to the office. May I know your name?”
"I am Xuan Jian."
"So it's Brother Xuan Jian. In the future, you and I will be colleagues. I hope Brother Xuan Jian will take care of me.”
"Likewise. How should I address you, brother?"
"Hey, my name is not worth mentioning. You can just call me Ah Niu.”
……
The full moon hung high in the sky.
Ji Ling had already entered cultivation.
Suddenly, a black feather fell outside Ji Ling's room like a snowflake. Then, a black figure leaped over and half-knelt at the door."Mo Ya greets my lord."
"Didn't I tell you not to bother me if it's nothing serious?”
An impatient voice came from the room.
"My lord, according to the reliable intelligence of the night, the Great General Su Chun died in battle in the northern region.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Ling's eyes snapped open.
