X-Dragon Era

Watching Ming Xuan's excited demeanor, Xin Yun continued, "As the Chief Protector, you need to safeguard not only the safety of the gang members but also the interests of the faction. Once someone challenges the authority of our Axe Gang, you must stand up and punish them with iron and blood. The dignity of the Axe Gang cannot be challenged!"

If you were just a protector, perhaps you would only be responsible for certain aspects, but as the Chief Protector, you must take care of everything. Your powers have expanded immensely, and so has the burden on your shoulders.

If we were to compare Yi Luo Xiang to the government and Yan Qingying to the police, then Ming Xuan, you would be the army, primarily focused outward, but not exclusively. It's about managing both internal and external affairs, mainly dealing with external threats.

Seeing Ming Xuan's increasingly agitated face, Xin Yun said earnestly, "Although you have finally risen to power, the path ahead of you is still very long. You need plenty of actual combat to rapidly enhance your skills, so... the position of protector is most suitable for you. I just don't know if you are interested?"

"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm..." Hearing Xin Yun's words, Ming Xuan's eyes lit up with excitement. Where was there any lack of interest? He was utterly eager for this. After all, what was the use of learning all these skills if he wasn't going to fight? Why else would he have cultivated so diligently?

Noticing Ming Xuan's excitement, Xin Yun continued, "Don't celebrate too soon. Even though you are strong, there are many things you can't resolve alone. So... starting now, you must begin building a protectorate team of 365 members to help you safeguard the gang!"

"What! So many!" Ming Xuan couldn't help exclaiming in surprise upon hearing Xin Yun's words.

Nodding gravely, Xin Yun declared decisively, "Yes, it must be this many. Not one more, not one less. You have to know... the Chaos Bell contains the mysteries of the laws, which can serve as the focal point to deploy the Great Array of Zhou Heavenly Stars, the greatest battle formation in the world!"

Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, Ming Xuan furrowed his brow. Killing his enemies on his own wasn't a big problem, but assembling a team and even leading them in battle was a tough challenge!

Seeing Ming Xuan's troubled expression, Xin Yun couldn't help but laugh. In his previous life, Ming Xuan was always a lone fighter, taking on either an individual or a group alone, and that's how he earned such a significant reputation. Even now, many things might remain unchanged.

While contemplating, Xin Yun shook his head and said, "Ming Xuan, I know what you are worried about, but... this follows the laws contained within the Chaos Bell. If we don't recruit 365 protectors, that law would go to waste. Simply using the Chaos Bell to smash, cover, and defend would be a waste!"

"But..." Ming Xuan said with a wry smile, looking helpless, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't know how. You know I'm used to being aloof. I'm okay being with you guys, but with others, I just don't know how to interact. In general, I'm a very reserved person."

"Sweat..." Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Xin Yun couldn't help but give a wry smile. Unexpectedly, this guy was quite self-aware. However, on second thought, it was really the case. Aside from being with them, Ming Xuan always had a stern face and was a man of few words, which made him appear very cold.

However, once someone knew Ming Xuan for a while, they would find he wasn't reticent or dull at all. His inability to connect and communicate with others was simply because he didn't know how to approach and interact with them.@@novelbin@@

Watching Ming Xuan and Xin Yun's troubled expressions, Yan Qingying interjected, "Actually, this isn't hard to handle. Our gang has just been established, and we're still young. There's no need to take in those fully-fledged masters. Ming Xuan isn't good at communicating, right? Then let him recruit disciples. Being a man of few words makes one seem more aloof and strict, which are good traits for a master!"

"Oh!" Hearing Yan Qingying's words, Xin Yun's eyes lit up. Yes... If it were about making friends, being taciturn would indeed be a problem. It would make it impossible to engage and communicate with everyone, but if it's about being a master, being a leader, being reticent actually conveys authority. As the saying goes, 'A strict teacher produces outstanding students,' and such a personality is indeed master material!

In his previous life, although Ming Xuan was always a solo fighter, he did take in a few followers, and after they followed him, their strength soared!

There is an old saying, 'A strict teacher produces outstanding students; a loving mother results in a spoiled child,' and these words hold truth. Looking back through history, strict masters usually have disciples who surpass their achievements. In contrast, kinder masters often see their disciples decline with each generation.

With that in mind, Xin Yun slapped his thigh and laughed, "Qingying's point is excellent. That settles it, then. We won't form a protectorate team. Instead, you'll recruit three hundred and sixty-five disciples, and... they will be called Protector Disciples!"

At this point, Xin Yun smiled and narrowed his eyes, nodding in satisfaction, "Not bad, with the Twelve Disciples plus three hundred and sixty-five Protector Disciples, we will cover both internal and external affairs of our gang. As long as we have these core forces, our gang will never be overthrown!" Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

Looking at Xin Yun with difficulty, Ming Xuan said with a wry smile, "But I don't know how to mentor disciples, nor how to communicate with them."
