Although Yu Beidou’s, Cheng Jing’s, and Shen Tuo’s generous invitations were ultimately rejected by Lin Xun, they were not the slightest bit angered to the crowd’s surprise.

The three of them knew that it was impossible to recruit talent like Lin Xun with mere verbal promises.

At the same time, they also needed to properly discuss this issue with their respective factions to decide on a strategy to recruit him.

A magnificent scene occurred when Lin Xun left.

The empire’s leading rune masters personally accompanied Lin Xun onto his carriage and sent him off with bright smiles.

The grand treatment stupefied the watching rune masters as they inwardly sighed in admiration.

With all eyes on Lin Xun, no one noticed the agonized and dispirited looks on the Chu Clan members.

Chu Haidong could no longer take it. He coughed blood as his eyes rolled over, and he fainted.

He was carried away by the other Chu Clan members as they dejectedly left the Rune Master Association Headquarters.

Chu Haidong was honestly really unlucky....
