The Taoist priests secretly wanted to wipe out all the spies that the Xiusheng Sect had spread throughout the city, so they could only suppress their speech and ask, “Do you have the contact information for the other spirits who cooperate with the Xiusheng Sect?”
“Yes, yes!” The wild dog spirit hurriedly pulled out a green-screen Nokia phone that had been obsolete for who knows how many years and painstakingly dialed out the contacts. “Boss, do you want to call them over to take a look together?”
A moment later, a large group of handsome men and beautiful women with tense expressions appeared in the work shed, turning the scene into a sea of uniforms—
The wild dog spirit began to introduce them one by one.
The tall, handsome man dressed in a Nongfu Spring water delivery uniform was an old yellow ox spirit from the neighboring county of Xin’an. He has been plowing the land for his master’s whole life. Later, due to the age of retirement and the policy of returning farmland to forest, his master had to send him to the slaughterhouse. So he had no choice but to reluctantly transform and leave. He could carry seven or eight buckets of water at a time and go up five floors in one go without any effort.
The deliveryman, dressed in an Ele.me uniform and exuding an aura of domineering CEO, was actually a crab spirit from Yangcheng Lake. He escaped when he was being delivered to the Xin’an branch, having broken free of his rope. Now, he delivered food quickly and efficiently and was very popular. Many female customers specifically requested him to deliver their orders.
And so on, including female swallow spirits that greeted guests at hotels, and rat spirits that cleaned the city’s sewers.
From this perspective… it actually fit their innate skills quite well.
The last rat spirit to enter had just met Master Quan’s gaze and turned to run away. Its guilty look made it obvious who it was. Master Quan thus shouted and grabbed it. The rat spirit, dressed in a sanitation worker’s uniform, began to cry, “Master, spare me!!! It was Leader Zhang who told me to keep an eye on you, that’s why I went to spy! I didn’t expect you to suddenly take off your clothes, and I was just trying to hide when you spotted me! I really didn’t mean to take advantage of you!!”
Master Quan held the rat down tightly, looking into its big, teary eyes that were as black and cunning as a rat’s. He felt even more ashamed and indignant and couldn’t bring himself to say that he had been taken advantage of.
The other Taoist priests present couldn’t help but reveal expressions that said, “You old geezer, you’re actually the one who got the better deal by being seen naked by such a handsome young man.”
Master Quan was deeply hurt. In this world that judges people by their appearance, even comrades would betray them. It was truly unreasonable.
The chubby boy from the Xiusheng Sect was also injured, just like him.
The recruitment horn of Taicang Sect sounded in the workers’ shed. While he was led out by the equally dejected Master Quan, who was handcuffed. They sat side by side at the entrance of the construction site in a daze, looking at the bright starlight above.
Tears streamed down the little fat boy’s face.
Master, fellow disciples, not only are we lacking in skills, but even the jobs we get through intermediary introductions don’t look as sophisticated as others’!
The business world is like a battlefield. Without competitiveness, you have no voice. Do you know that our employees have been poached by our competitors?
…..
That night, when Wei Xi and the others were leaving with the wild dog spirit, they were stopped by the construction site foreman. The foreman, who usually treated the wild dog spirit arrogantly, suddenly objected when he saw it trying to leave: “Why should you take him with you? I’ve already paid the referral fee to the Xiusheng Sect. It was agreed that he had to work for me at five construction sites!”
The chubby boy met the gaze of the Tuan Tuanyi and other members, who seemed to say, “How can your teaching be so rubbish? Don’t be so blatant in exploiting laborers, okay?” and lowered his head in shame: “My master needed to buy a house…”
The heinous act of trafficking undocumented laborers must be resolutely cracked down on. When the foreman wouldn’t let them leave, the roadside officials present decisively dialed 110.
The sound of sirens brought the Taoists from the local Taoist Association of Xin’an to the scene. When they arrived, they saw a strong demonic aura and initially thought that the group of Taoists from the capital had been entangled by demons. So they were shocked and immediately wanted to go forward to rescue them.
They had only gone halfway when they heard the tall disciple named Tuan Tuanyi from the Taicang sect pointing at the construction site boss and complaining to the police: “Officer! They’re the ones trying to illegally restrict the personal freedom of our employees!”
As he spoke, he reached out and protectively embraced a small, androgynous fairy, patting it reassuringly on the shoulder: “Gou Dan! Don’t be afraid! Our master and all the masters present have your back!”
The little demon’s clothes were dirty and tattered, and he was carrying a dusty safety helmet in his hand. He obediently lowered his head and stared at the liberation shoes on his feet, his eyes turning wet, as he hummed in agreement. His whole body was full of docility.
The human on the construction site was caught by the police, and he started wailing and howling about how many years he and the Xiusheng Sect had spent buying this kid and how much money they had spent.
When the police heard that he was involved in human trafficking, they were surprised. They had initially intended to educate and mediate, but now they handcuffed him and put him in the car. This was a major case.
The Daoists from Xin’an remained silent for a moment before finally sending Master Nian forward to inquire. Master Nian stared blankly at the little demon being held in the arms of a disciple of the Taicang Sect, as well as the other demons around them dressed in various strange uniforms, and hesitantly asked, “Fellow Daoists, what are they…?”
The Taoist priests of the Beijing Taoist Association exchanged glances, unsure how to explain, and could only vaguely reply: “…It’s nothing, we just rescued a group of naive little demons who had been deceived by pyramid schemes and shady intermediaries.”
Tuan Tuanyi also said, “Don’t worry, we will provide them with suitable and good jobs.”
The new Taoist priests: “???”
These fellow cultivators from the capital seem a bit odd, don’t they?! What are you all doing here?!
