In the following period of time, Zhang Xuan was very busy. He went from a newbie escort to a skilled escort.
The most difficult missions in the escort agency would usually fall on him, and they were all completed by Zhang Xuan outstandingly.
Even the missions that He Yushan found difficult to complete, Zhang Xuan would accept them without thinking and complete them successfully as long as they were handed to him.
After seven months of tempering, Zhang Xuan's status in the escort agency rose. He was highly praised by the escort leaders and the chief escort.
It was not an exaggeration to say that Zhang Xuan's influence in the escort agency was only inferior to the chief escort, He Yushan.
Whether it was an escort or a long-term worker, they would give Zhang Xuan a thumbs up whenever he was mentioned.
No one in the entire Lin'an City could achieve this in less than a year.
On this day, after Zhang Xuan completed his mission and returned to the escort agency, the originally quiet escort agency immediately became lively.
"Thank you for your hard work. Did the mission go smoothly this time?"
Chief Escort He Yushan personally welcomed Zhang Xuan back and did not hide his praise for him.
Although He Yushan had personally welcomed the escorts of the escort agency before, he had never been so enthusiastic to them like he was to Zhang Xuan.
He Yushan would not personally welcome him every time he returned from an escort mission, but he would definitely appear whenever he had the time.
No one in the entire escort agency had enjoyed such value and admiration from He Yushan. Not even He Lingxue had enjoyed such treatment.
It was obvious that He Yushan's admiration for Zhang Xuan had reached an unparalleled level.
He Yushan not only valued Zhang Xuan's ability, but also his character!
This was completely not the case for others.
"Thank you for your concern, Chief Escort. It went very smoothly."
Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded. He Yushan's concern for him warmed Zhang Xuan's heart.
He Yushan was not the only one who praised Zhang Xuan. The escorts and leaders in the escort agency also admired Zhang Xuan very much.
After knowing that Zhang Xuan had returned, the escort leaders who did not go with him rushed over to welcome him.
Their praise for Zhang Xuan was not for He Yushan to see. It was all heartfelt approval.
After all, not only had Zhang Xuan taken on many missions in the past few days, but his missions were also the most tiring, bitter, and dangerous.
Zhang Xuan had never encountered any accidents. No matter how difficult the mission was, he always completed it in the fastest time and completed it very well every time.
These escort leaders truly recognized Zhang Xuan's ability, not just because He Yushan valued Zhang Xuan and they praised him to please He Yushan.
In a world where martial arts were respected, the strong were always the most respected.
Zhang Xuan was also the first in the escort agency. In less than a year, he was recognized and praised by most people.
The reason why it was said that most people approved of him and not all of them was not because Zhang Xuan did not do well enough, but because he was outstanding and was envied by others.
Especially when Li Feng and Zhao Zhen found out that He Yushan wanted to matchmake Zhang Xuan and He Lingxue. It was as if a hornet's nest had been poked. The two of them were so angry that they went to fight Zhang Xuan.
Be it Li Feng or Zhao Zhen, they both admired He Lingxue very much. Moreover, they never hid their admiration. It could be said that everyone in the escort agency knew about it.
Although the two of them looked down on each other, they were playmates who had grown up together after all. Hence, even if they were competing, they would compete openly.
However, Zhang Xuan's sudden addition made the two of them completely furious.
Zhang Xuan was just a long-term worker of the escort agency. Did he think that he could eat swan meat just because he became an escort?
He simply did not know the immensity of heaven and earth!
The two of them took revenge on Zhang Xuan more and more. No matter what, they would not miss the opportunity.
However, Zhang Xuan could not be bothered with such clowns. No matter how the two of them mocked or schemed, he ignored them.
However, Zhang Xuan's low profile was met with even more unrestrained revenge from the two of them.
The most difficult mission would fall on him. It was Li Feng and Zhao Zhen who deliberately targeted Zhang Xuan.
It was just that these two people did not know Zhang Xuan well. Their difficulties for Zhang Xuan ultimately established Zhang Xuan's prestige in the escort agency.
After all, other escorts and leaders did not have the confidence to complete those missions and did not want to accept them.
Zhang Xuan accepting the missions was equivalent to reducing the pressure on the other escorts and leaders.
In addition, Zhang Xuan completed it very well every time. Who wouldn't admire this new escort?
After knowing that Zhang Xuan had returned, Li Feng and Zhao Zhen also rushed over. However, the two of them did not welcome him like the others. Instead, they glared at Zhang Xuan viciously, as if they wanted to skin him alive.
"This kid is getting more and more arrogant. We can't let him continue to stay in the escort agency."
Li Feng, who had a dark expression, said softly.
Zhao Zhen, who had a similarly gloomy expression, nodded. If it wasn't for He Yushan's protection for Zhang Xuan which gave him no chance to attack, he would have long wanted to kill Zhang Xuan.
Especially when they saw that Zhang Xuan's prestige in the escort agency was getting higher and higher, and he had already distanced himself from them. Zhang Xuan was even recognized and praised by the chief escort and the escort leaders, making the two of them so jealous that they wanted to vomit blood.
However, what the two of them did not know was that Zhang Xuan did not care about his so-called prestige at all.
However, the two flies, Li Feng and Zhao Zhen, were always endless, annoying Zhang Xuan. He would rather leave the escort agency than have the so-called prestige.
It was only because he had not found a suitable opportunity that Zhang Xuan continued to stay in the escort agency.
Moreover, Zhang Xuan had only gained prestige from the escort mission for the past seven months. It had also improved his strength a little.
It was very difficult to advance to the Connate Realm, but there was still a lot of room for improvement in combat strength.
The "Connate Technique" mainly increased internal energy. This was also the reason why Zhang Xuan used points to deduce cultivation techniques and directly broke through to the Connate realm.
However, the difference in combat strength within the Connate realm was still very huge.
Between experts of the same realm, there were external techniques that determined their strength.
Martial arts like the Martial Ancestor Long Fist that cultivated both internal and external martial arts could also increase combat strength while increasing one's realm.
However, "Connate Technique" was different from the Martial Ancestor Long Fist. It mainly cultivated internal energy and could only increase one's realm. It did not increase one's combat strength much.
Although many accidents had happened to Zhang Xuan during this period of time, he had also gained a few external skills. This was also one of the reasons why he had never left the escort agency.
It was easier for him to keep a low profile with his identity as an escort.
Zhang Xuan, who was surrounded by everyone, smiled and rejected He Yushan's suggestion to hold a banquet for him.
After returning to his residence, Zhang Xuan washed up briefly and left the escort agency.
Every time he came back from an escort mission, Zhang Xuan would go to Lin'an City to shop. At the same time, he would go to a restaurant to drink and listen to interesting things in the martial arts world.
After all, after breaking through to the Connate Realm, it would not be very useful for improvement even if one practiced martial arts without sleep or rest.
