Qin Ziwen focused on the words "solicit" and "recruit."
If he wasn't mistaken, "solicit" must be the ability that could bring people like that scholar into his tavern.
And "recruit" was probably similar to the Recruitment Card, allowing him to recruit people into his Home.
The tavern really was a way to get new members, just as he'd first suspected.
But his attempt to recruit the scholar yesterday had failed. He concluded that it was because he had been too abrupt and rash, scaring the man off.
'If another guest shows up, I should try talking with them more first.'
He entered the tavern, his mind still on these thoughts.
The tavern was dim at night, moonlight filtering through a window to illuminate one corner.
After sitting on a bench for a while, no new guests arrived, and Qin Ziwen eventually left in disappointment.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.
There was a knock at the door.
It was immediately followed by Deng Guang's voice, "Brother Qin."
