Shun Long turned his attention towards the source of the noise, as he too saw a purple-robed middle-aged man approaching them through the crowd.
It was a bald, chubby man with gentle facial features, who was seemingly around his late 40s with a big bump on his forehead. A big smile adorned the man's face, as he seemed to have been staring at Shun Long and Liu Mei.
Shun Long also noticed 2 badges on this man's chest. One of them had the shape of a crescent moon, while the other one was surprisingly a silver badge with the word 'A' on it. This meant that this middle-aged man was actually an A-rank mercenary.
''Isn't that Elder Zhang? What is he doing here?''
''Right! I have heard that Elder Zhang is already at the 6th stage of the Spirit realm and is one of the strongest experts of the Pale Moon merchant guild.''
''Perhaps he is here because he needs a new alchemy cauldron? I have heard that Elder Zhang is already a rank 2 silver grade alchemist.''
The middle-aged man stopped in front of Shun Long and Liu Mei, and under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he cupped his hands as he looked at them, and said smilingly
''This young master and young lady, my name is Zhang Dingxiang and I am an Elder from the 'Pale Moon merchant guild'. May I ask for your names?''
Shun Long frowned slightly when he saw an Elder of the 'Pale Moon merchant guild' approaching them for seemingly no reason, but when he saw the furtive glance that Zhang Dingxiang stole at the 'Silver-winged panther king' behind him, Shun Long had a guess of what was going on, as he then replied with a slight smile on his face
''I am Shun Long, and this is my wife, Liu Mei.''
Shun Long of course, didn't have any reason to hide his real name in the Night star continent. He didn't believe that, even if he made any enemies here, that there was anyone who could trace him back to the Desolate east all the way from the Night star continent, and even manage to find the island that the 'floating cloud sect' has control over, in the mortal world.
Besides, he was probably not the only person in the entire continent named Shun Long, and the same went for Liu Mei as well.
Liu Mei felt her face behind her white veil turning red when she heard Shun Long calling her 'wife' in public, while at the same time, a sweet smile also appeared on her face.
Zhang Dingxiang nodded his head, as he then continued
''I heard that around 10 days ago, a handsome young man and a white-veiled young woman with an enchanting figure had appeared on the Mercenaries' Association, on top of a black panther.
Now that I see the 2 of you, I must definitely admit that the rumors were true. Only a handsome gentleman such as yourself could have such a woman by your side.''
Shun Long didn't feel flattered by Zhang Dingxiang's bootlicking, since he clearly understood that this man had a certain goal in mind before coming here.
Indeed, barely a moment later, the chubby middle-aged man continued
''Actually, I wonder if you would agree to have a private chat with me young master Shun. There are certain things that I would like to discuss with you.''
Seeing that Shun Long seemed to be interested in their silver grade cauldrons, Zhang Dingxiang also added

''Coincidentally, we have even better alchemy cauldrons in the private room in the back.''
Shun Long's eyes glinted for a moment, before he smiled and cupped his hands as he said
''In that case, I will have to trouble you.''
Zhang Dingxiang smiled widely as he shook his hands repeatedly and said
''No trouble, no trouble at all! If you agree, then don't view me as an outsider young master Shun.''
Liu Mei smiled lightly beneath her white veil, as the chubby middle-aged man led them towards a private room in the back.
After entering inside the room, Shun Long saw a relatively small black table, that seemed to have been made from a material that was similar to marble. Around the table there was a couch and 3 chairs, all of them made from the hide of a rank 3 'Golden eyed crimson fox'.
Shun Long knew that the fur of a rank 3 'Golden eyed crimson fox', was always warm no matter what environment it was placed in.
At the wall at the end of the room, there were many 'shelves' on the wall, with more than 100 silver grade cauldrons on top of them.
Shun Long wasn't afraid that he would be walking into a trap before he stepped foot in the room.
Unless they had a few peak rank 9 Nascent soul stage, or a Dao King, it practically impossible that anyone could stop the 'Silver-winged panther king' if he went on a rampage.
It was unknown if Zhang Dingxiang had guessed what Shun Long was thinking, as he then pointed at the silver grade cauldrons on the wall and said with a smile on his face
''As you can see young master Shun, my intentions towards you are completely sincere.''
Shun Long didn't go to inspect the silver grade cauldrons on the wall, but instead, he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, who gestured at him to sit on the couch as he said
''Young master Shun, young lady Mei, please have a seat.''
''Thank you''
Shun Long smiled after seeing that the man in front of him seemed to be sincere, as he and Liu Mei then sat on the couch opposite to Zhang Dingxiang.
Zhang Dingxiang looked at Shun Long and asked
''Young master Shun, I won't mince my words. I would like to offer you to join our Pale Moon merchant guild as a mercenary. I assume that you already know that, as a mercenary, you will only need to help our guild during the very important missions, and we will not ask for your help otherwise.''
After a brief moment of pause, the bald middle-aged man looked at Shun Long in the eyes as he continued
''Although our guild isn't the strongest in the Silver sword city, we can still be considered among the 10 strongest. Additionally... if young master Shun agrees to join us, our 'Pale Moon guild' is also willing to take out 10.000 spirit stones every month, as payment for young master Shun's help.''
