I have seen dragons

Chapter 2 Nagimitsu
In the southern part of the seventh satellite city, there is a bustling night market street under an overpass.

At the street corner, several shops are squeezed together. On the left is a funeral supplies store called "Haozailai", and on the right is a century-old "Veteran Barbecue".

The narrowest storefront in the middle is "Yue's Cultivation Agency".

So Yue Wen wasn't lying when he said he could provide a one-stop service, after all, his neighbor was in the funeral business.

There are connections.

However, Manager Chen wasn't seriously injured; he was just a little shaken and had slipped and fallen. The doctor told him to go home and rest for a few days. After taking Manager Chen home, Yue Wen returned to the firm.

As soon as he opened the door, he smelled a fragrance that was both sweet and pungent.

Inside was a not-so-spacious space, with a wrinkled leather sofa, a messy coffee table, and a computer desk piled with miscellaneous items. This was the reception room of Yue's Cultivation Agency.

There is a staircase leading upstairs, and on the first floor there are two other doors, one leading to the restroom and the other to the storage room.

Yue Wencai had only been running this firm for a short time. He was the only person in the firm, from the manager to the clerk. He didn't have much business and his fees were low, so he naturally couldn't afford to rent a large storefront.

At this moment, a woman dressed in a black suit was sitting on the sofa in the room. She looked to be in her thirties, with loose black hair, fair and delicate skin, and bright and striking features. She was tall and slender, leaning slightly to one side, revealing her curvaceous waist and hips, and her legs were shapely and long.

She has a kind of charm that makes her a mother figure to many people online.

At this moment, the elegant woman was holding a tray and engrossed in eating. On the tray were several skewers of mutton, two skewers of kidneys, and a few cloves of garlic.

These things are also a source of odor in the house.

"Master Nagimitsu?" Yue Wen was slightly surprised to see this uninvited figure. "What brings you here?"

This person is no ordinary person.

Nagi-ko is the deputy director of the Super Management Bureau of the Seventh Satellite City, holding an extremely high position in the city. He is said to come from a top-tier immortal sect, and his cultivation is unfathomable.

She is in seclusion most of the time, but her clones are always out in the outside world, and the one in front of her should be one of them.

"Hmm." Nagi Kōjin waved his hand without looking up, finished all the skewers on the tray, wiped his mouth, resumed his aloof expression, and looked at Yue Wendao: "I'm here to talk to you about something today."

"Here, have a drink." Yue Wen took a bottle of yogurt from the drawer, handed it to him, and asked with a smile, "Did my business license come through?"

Nagimitsu picked up the yogurt and glanced at it. Seeing that the bottle said "Photinia flavor," he silently put it aside and then shook his head, saying, "No, your business license application was rejected."

"Why?" Yue Wen asked hurriedly.

Without a business license, his firm is illegal. Theoretically, he was just illegally taking orders and performing exorcisms without a license.

“You clearly didn’t read the regulations of the Supernatural Affairs Bureau carefully. For a private organization to handle an incident involving evil spirits, at least two practitioners must be present at the same time,” Nagimitsu replied. “We can’t control what you do privately. But if you want to officially open a firm, you must comply with the regulations.”

"Ouch." Yue Wen slapped his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.

If that's the case, then he'll need to hire at least one assistant.

This isn't a job that just any college graduate can do; if it's a cultivator, hiring them for a month wouldn't be cheap.

The already struggling firm is about to face even greater difficulties.

“However, I came to see you today not because of this matter, but to talk about something else,” Nagimitsu said, changing the subject.

"Oh?" Yue Wen asked, "What is it?"

Nagimitsu said, "It's related to your parents."

Upon hearing this, Yue Wen immediately sat up straighter and became more serious.

“Three years ago, you had just finished the college entrance examination and I think you were among the top five in the province, right?” Nagimitsu asked.

Yue Wendao said, "I had a lot of things going on at home during that time, so I definitely didn't perform well."

Nagimitsu was silent for a moment, then ignored his Versailles-like manner. "While your whole family was traveling, you encountered a spatial rift and evil spirits descended. You were seriously injured in that incident, remained in a coma for half a year, and your parents both disappeared, right?"

"Yes." Yue Wen nodded as he listened to the other person recount their experience.

Nagimitsu suddenly asked, "Do you want to find them?"

Yue Wen replied without hesitation, "Of course I want to, but..."

He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped. Nagimitsu said, "Actually, there is some information within the Supernatural Management Bureau about your parents. That incident was likely not a simple spatial rift, but rather related to a topic your father had been researching."

"What is it?" Yue Wen's eyes finally lost their composure.

“I can’t tell you more, it involves classified information, unless…” Nagimitsu paused, and finally revealed his purpose, “You join the Super Management Bureau.”

……

"Me?" Yue Wen was taken aback. "Join the Super Management Bureau?"

He really hadn't expected that the other party had come to recruit him.

“That’s right.” Nagimitsu looked around and said, “Only by joining the bureau and raising your rank can you access classified documents. Of course, I can’t guarantee that you’ll be able to find the person after reading them, but knowing more might give you a better chance. Anyway, you’re dealing with evil spirits now, so why not join us instead of working alone?”

Yue Wen smiled noncommittally, "Are you treated well?"

"Formal employment, six types of insurance and two types of funds," said Nagimitsu.

"It really is very attractive." Yue Wen said with a hint of apology, "It's just that I'm used to being carefree, so I might not be suitable for joining the Super Management Bureau. I'm really sorry that Master Nagiko personally came here, and I was so ungrateful."

“Normally, I wouldn’t come looking for you.” Nagi-kwang looked at him and said, “But the Green Cultivation Conference is less than a year away, and Jiangcheng City hasn’t produced any competitive seed players this year. We’ve been given a hard task to actively recruit some young cultivation geniuses.”

"A genius?" Yue Wen scratched his head and laughed, "I wouldn't dare to accept that title."

The full name of the Youth Cultivation Association is the Youth Cultivation Assembly, also known as the Rising Dragon Assembly.

This grand event, held every four years, is open to cultivators under the age of twenty-five. It is specifically designed to select the most promising cultivators of the human race for intensive training. Anyone who performs exceptionally well in the Green Cultivation Association can become famous overnight and gain countless followers.

But that has always been a stage for true geniuses.

He was just a rogue cultivator who wanted to open a small firm, and he never dreamed of showing his face at the Youth Cultivation Conference.

"You've managed to cultivate to your current level in just two and a half years. As a rogue cultivator without any sect or affiliation, you're definitely a genius," Nagimitsu said with burning eyes. "However, resources and background are crucial in cultivation, and the ceiling for rogue cultivators is ultimately too low. If you had the Super Management Bureau's focused support, I believe your talent could definitely realize even greater potential."

"If I'm trained by the Supermarket Management Bureau, don't I still have to work for them?" Yue Wen still refused with a smile. "I know about your casualty rate. I'd rather be the manager myself."

“Cultivation is inherently going against the will of Heaven; how can it not be dangerous?” Nagi-kwang Master was slightly disappointed, but still said, “Never mind, if you change your mind someday, you can come to me again.”

Yue Wen insisted on refusing, and she didn't press the matter further. After saying that, she paused slightly, then suddenly turned into a wisp of green smoke and vanished.

Only a single strand of long, black hair, carrying a faint fragrance, remained.

"call--"

After Nagimitsu left for a while, Yue Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

This person's cultivation level was far higher than his. Although it was just an avatar, the pressure that this person casually exuded was difficult for him to withstand.

Especially since he lied during the conversation just now.

His refusal to join the Supermarket Management Bureau was not due to fear of danger.

The Supernatural Powers Administration (SPGA) is an official organization established after the Spiritual Calamity, specifically responsible for managing practitioners and handling evil spirit incidents.

Logically, joining them would provide a stable backer, and while one would naturally be expected to serve them, one would also receive considerable assistance. As Nagi-ko Jinnen said, their potential would certainly far exceed that of independent cultivators.

Moreover, she spoke very sincerely today, saying that the young cultivators recruited by the Qingxiu Association would receive the best training if they went there, and that resources would be poured into them.

This is an opportunity that many people long for but cannot obtain.

But Yue Wen cannot join.

Because there are many things he cannot let others know.

For example, his excitement just now was an act; he actually knew all along that his parents' disappearance was related to some secrets.

For example, during the six months he was in a coma, Yue Wen was not completely unconscious.

He has seen dragons.
