Many residents of the Nine Heavens City like the place, while many others hate it and can't wait to leave.
Since the city is insulated from outside news, Ma Lin felt at ease poaching talents.
The Central Heaven City highly values talent, while the Nine Heavens City places utmost importance on lineage.
This difference made the recruitment work in the Central Heaven City quite easy to do; the harder the front-line personnel worked, the better the results they achieved.
A merchant from the Central Region opened a gift shop in the Rye District. There, among the wares, was a decorative Red Leaf, a leaf of the Divine Tree that could be pinned onto clothing or sewn onto gift boxes, with larger ones hung on the wall.
From the beginning, whenever Ma Lin visited friends, he would gift them something related to the Red Leaf, consistently doing so until eventually, the Red Leaf became a symbol and a tradition.
Thus, the Red Leaf Society was established very naturally.
