Morning came fast, but Mo Xie had already been awake since 3:00 AM, with his talk with the couple, he had heard of their names, Lu Mei and Feng Baoli, they had been living inside the Gangting City for 30 years as tailors.
Mo Xie is currently in the backyard of the tailoring shop, training his body, as a mortal, the least he could do is to train his body to perfection, luckily, even though the previous owner is of low talent, he still trained his body, and with the loss of fat in his body due to hunger, Mo Xie had less to worry.
"Ahh, the Yang Energy started to blossom as the Yin energy disappears."
When the night fell, Yin Energy is abundance, but as the day appear, the Yang energy regrows its flames, two completely different energy, Yin energy of extreme cold and Yang energy of extreme heat.
"As a mortal, I can only use my weapons Intent, once I reach the gold rank, I can unleash the weapon heart... I really need to find a descend alchemist, haaa..."
Mo Xie sighed, based on Feng Baoli, the highest tier alchemist in Gangting City is only of middle stage alchemist.
Then, a silhouette appeared at the back of Mo Xie, Mo Xie immediately stopped his training as he slowly tempered the Yin and Yang energy inside his body.
"Uncle Baoli."
Baoli smiled as he nodded: "It seems that you are quite good at martial arts, if you want, I have a few friends in some places, do you want to apply to them?"
Mo Xie smiled as he nodded: "Uncle Baoli, what type of job is it?"
"It is somewhat like a mercenary, you can accept jobs for protecting some high ranked people, the payment depends on the difficulty level."
Baoli explained, Mo Xie smiled as he nodded again and replied: "Then, Uncle Baoli, I will apply in that place."
Hearing Mo Xie's reply, Baoli smiled, he nodded his head and retracted his hands to his sleeves, after that, Baoli took out a wooden token and handed it to Mo Xie.
It had a written word in it, 'Sword Dragon Security' clearly, this is the a.s.sociation that he will be applying to.
Mo Xie took the token as he bowed: "Thank you Uncle Baoli, I will prepare now."
After speaking, Mo Xie immediately departed to the house.
Feng Baoli smiled and spoke: "Ah, he is rus.h.i.+ng, well, it is good to be young."
Feng Baoli also entered the house, he needs to open the shop after all.

...
A few minutes had pa.s.sed, Mo Xie bid his farewell to the couple as he headed to the Sword Dragon Security a.s.sociation building, Feng Baoli instructed him of the location, hence, he could walk his way there in ease.
Arriving at the building, Mo Xie took out a token, a staff immediately led him to the reception, on their way there, all sorts of gaze was seen as the people inside looked at Mo Xie.
"A new one."
"How long will he last? hahaha"
"Hey, hey, don't bully the youngling, he might be successful in the future."
"You've always said that whenever there are new ones, hahaha"
Everyone started to laugh, but Mo Xie ignored them as he sighed in his heart; 'All of them are also mortals, I guess this is a cheap a.s.sociation that hires mortal warriors.'
As Mo Xie arrived at the reception desk, he handed the token, the token is then received by the female receptionist.
"h.e.l.lo, you are new here right? My name is Lan Xue, you can just call me Sister Lan, how may I help you?"
"I would like to be hired to the a.s.sociation, may I know what I need to do?" Mo Xie replied with a smile.
Lan Xue looked at Mo Xie, scanning him from head to toe: "You are about 15 or 17years old, are you sure?"
"Sister Lan, just let him be employed, he might not even pick a mission until he turns 20, hahaha."
One of the sword for hire spoke, Mo Xie sighed as he ignored it. Lan Xue nodded her head and spoke.
"This will be your badge, I will explain everything now."
Since they are all mortals, they only need to be brief about the rules. there is not a need to inform them so much since these mortal warriors might the the next day.
Lan Xue then continued: "First of all, the a.s.sociation will have nothing to give you when you die on a mission, as a first-time employee, you will be t.i.tled as 1st tier a.s.sociation sword for hire, your monthly allowance is 10 silver coins excluding your earning,
There are five levels of difficulty on the mission, the hardest is the 5th, you can gain merits every time you completed a mission, the a.s.sociation will take 10% of your total earned coins through that mission as the middleman of the whole trade.
That's it, you can view the mission and pick one from those that are on the board."
After speaking, Lan Xue pointed at the left of the building, a board is over there with a lot of papers posted in it.
Mo Xie smiled as he nodded and replied: "Thanks, Sister Lan."
Mo Xie's facial features have yet to recover, he is like a mummy due to the hunger his body had experience, he wouldn't even manage to attract another ugly woman.
Expressing his thanks, Mo Xie immediately went to the board, after a few whiles, Mo Xie picked three pieces of paper as he heads out.
Seeing Mo Xie's departing Lan Xue smiled and nodded her head, although she didn't like him at all, but seeing his clear and pure blue eyes, she couldn't help but look into it, like she is getting sucked within an endless void.
Mo Xie took out the pieces of paper, he only needs to report it back once it is completed, if he fails, he can return it to the board, but if he dies, the client would post another one, that is the rule of their business too.
"1st tier mission, escorting the client to pick up flowers in the Evergreen forest, go to the Shang Clan family manor, 25 silver coins, number of people 5
1st tier mission, tomorrow, meet at the Grand Zhao Park, escorting the client to the neighboring city of Luanshong, 50 silvers coins, number of people 25.
1st tier mission, guarding the Shang Clan estate, 5 silver per day, the time will be up to the client to decide, the number of people 200, meet up at the Shan Clan after five days...
That is a lot, maybe there will be an a.s.sa.s.sination event."
Mo Xie smiled, he then, two of these missions are from the Shang Clan, it will be a one-way trip.
Mo Xie started to look around, asking for direction, a lot of them laughed at him, Shang Clan is one of the leading Clans out of the hundred more in the entire Guanting, they are considered the number three in over-all power.
After an hour, Mo Xie arrived, there are already twenty people over there.
"I'm from the Sword Dragon Security a.s.sociation." Mo Xie bowed slightly as he introduced himself.
"Okay, we are complete now, we will go to the Evergreen Forest."
Everyone nodded; there are five hired swords as well as twenty warriors from the Shang Clan in this group, they followed the carriage as they go out of the City.
