2422: Not Pleasing To The Eye

Not Pleasing To The Eye

"It doesn't matter! We are the employer and the employer should be able to pick the people he wants anyway." He was just a child of six or seven years of age, but the old man was slightly surprised by the seriousness on his face. 2

Indeed, they were the employers, and as long as they could afford the commission, they really did have the right to pick the people. So, the old man nodded: "Alright then! Please sit for a while, Young Master, while I post the mission." The old man said, and asked the two people to sit inside for a while, while he asked a man outside to post the mission. 

When they saw the newly posted mission, the mercenaries outside surrounded the notice. However, when they saw the description of the mission, their expressions became strange one by one. 

"It's really those two children? And they even want to pick the people?"

"So the two children want to go to Hundred Rivers City."

"It's quite a long distance to Hundred Rivers City from here. Moreover, it's not been that peaceful recently either. Although it's an idle task, the round trip journey will take about one to two months."

"But the commission is quite high and half of it is paid first. They are quite extravagant." 

"I couldn't tell such a young child would actually be so rich."

"It's no wonder they want someone to escort them."

The mercenaries were discussing this outside. Because the commission was quite high, many people had gathered round and said that they would take this mission. However, what they would face is that the mercenaries had to stand in a line and wait to be selected by two little children.

The old man came to Feng Ye with a smile and said: "Young Master, you paid a very generous commission so many mercenaries are rushing to take your mission. They are already waiting outside. Go and take a look and see which team has caught your eye."

"Alright." Feng Ye responded crisply with a smile on his face. However, he walked out with his hands behind his back on his two short legs, and that made the old man chuckle. 

When the mercenary team outside saw the child coming out, they lifted their chests and stood presenting their majestic side. 

Feng Ye walked past those people, sometimes he frowned, sometimes he shook his head, and he muttered in a low voice from time to time. After he had walked to the end of the line, there wasn't a team that he saw that he liked. 

Upon seeing this, the old man thought that something was strange, so he stepped forward and asked: "Young Master, how is it?"

"None of them can do it, I don't like them." Feng Ye said. His young voice was not too soft but yet it had passed through everyone's ears and the faces of the mercenaries turned dark. 

The old man was stunned, and he asked with a smile: "They are all first level mercenaries teams and were all selected according to your criteria. Their combat power is the best amongst all the mercenaries."

"That's right, don't talk nonsense if you don't know much, child." A mercenary snorted and expressed his dissatisfaction. 

Feng Ye blinked innocently: "I didn't say that your strength is not good enough! I just said you can't do it because I don't like the way you look."

Everyone's mouth twitched: What kind of rubbish reason was this? But they looked at the serious look on the child's face and didn't know what to say. 

"What?"

Feng Ye looked like he had discovered a new continent as he looked curiously at the group of mercenaries who were sitting in a corner at the back not far away from them. He walked over on his short legs and stared at those people, then he tilted his head and asked: "Did you not take the mission?"

The mercenary sitting in the corner hadn't expected the child to walk over. They looked at each other, then their eyes fell on a strong man who was the leader. Half of the man's face had been burnt and he looked a bit scary. However, there was a faint sense of integrity between his eyebrows.
