He Xian Martial Arts Hall, a side courtyard next to the banquet venue.
A few verdant ornamental trees, with neatly trimmed branches and leaves, gently swayed in the warm breeze, rustling softly. The leaves reflected the evening sun’s glow, emitting a faint orange-red color. The environment here was noticeably quieter, yet the noise and voices from the banquet area could still be indistinctly heard.
In a corner of the side courtyard, in front of a circular flowerbed lined with white tiles.
A tall figure stopped in their tracks, slowly turning around.
The face was masculine and rugged, with dense, slightly slanted eyebrows that extended into the temples. Beneath the brows, a dazzling glow spread a thousand miles, falling into the cold eyes.
Perhaps it was because he had just won the championship of the Eastern Dark World fighting competition, Bai Xiao had reined in his own aura, but the several people following him still felt an imposing and majestic presence. As they looked over, Bai Xiao, with his back to the sunset, seemed to have merged entirely with the red halo, becoming a surging mist of energy.
"The sign of an overflowing aura!"
"His spirit is infinitely close to that of a sect leader!"
Several business representatives and organizational agents were momentarily stunned, a trace of surprise flashing in their eyes. But instantly, their hearts were gladdened. The stronger Bai Xiao was, the better for them – the more formidable his strength, the more secure the business deals would be. They were also looking forward to Bai Xiao’s performance in the national competition.
Immediately, many agents quickly stepped forward.
Among them, some had already eagerly started speaking.
"Hello, Mr. Bai Xiao."
"I am a professional manager at the Medicine King Pavilion. I sincerely invite you to join us at the Medicine King Pavilion! Our organization specializes in managing precious medicinal herbs and maintains cooperative relationships with numerous sects in the Eastern region. If you join us, all the medicinal substances you need for your cultivation over the next five years will be on us. Moreover, we will provide you with precious secret medicinal formulas that only high-level members of the Medicine King Pavilion have access to, and we may even customize..."
An elegant young man in a gray tailored suit, with half-length hair tied into a small ponytail at the back of his head, said with a smile. Additionally, he took out an exquisite white business card containing various details and handed it over.
Before Bai Xiao could even take it.
Several other organization leaders immediately spoke up.
"I am a manager from Shu Hai Group, we possess thousands of secret techniques..."
"I am a member of the Extreme Club, and I invite you..."
A crowd of people surrounded Bai Xiao, chattering non-stop, each touting the strengths of their own companies. Some were dressed in business suits, others in traditional Martial Arts attire, and some in casual wear. Among them, Bai Xiao noticed a young man in a black and white striped casual suit – it was the manager from Wuyuan Company he had seen earlier. He was holding a cellphone, which he had just tucked into his pocket.
It seemed he had just made a phone call somewhere.
At that moment, the young man in the suit took a deep breath and immediately said.
"Mr. Bai Xiao, do you remember me?"
"We chatted on Feixin before. You can choose one Second-class Secret Martial Arts and two Third-rank Secret Martial Skills from our Wuyuan Company’s inventory at your leisure, we fully agree. Additionally, we would like to invite you to become an advisor at Wuyuan Company! Ordinary member, VIP member, Company Steward, Company Advisor – this is the fourth tier in our company, a mid-to-high-level position. You will be entitled to a share of the company’s annual profits!"
As soon as the young man in the suit spoke, the surrounding professional managers were taken aback. They knew about Wuyuan Company; normally, to become a VIP member was to get a secret technique for free. But Bai Xiao could own three, and freely choose them. Moreover, this advisor position was tempting, already counting as a minor leadership role with privileges.
If he advanced further and entered the higher echelons of Wuyuan Company, then he would probably never run out of Secret Martial Skills for the latter half of his life! This advisor position was essentially a voucher, not important in itself, but more of a symbolic gesture.
It implied that Bai Xiao had the opportunity to become a high-level figure in Wuyuan Company.
"Tsk, tsk, how generous! Even offering an advisor role? Normally, the most a foreigner can get is a VIP membership, and a Company Steward is truly one of their own, not to mention an advisor. It seems that Wuyuan Company is really going all out!" a manager from a group muttered to themselves...
Bai Xiao looked ahead with a somewhat surprised gaze.
On his retina, a faint light screen was slowly lighting up.
[Profession: Martial Arts Consultant (Inactive)]
[Conditions: 1. Receive approval from Wuyuan Company √, 2. Accept the invitation ×]
"This can trigger a profession?"
He was momentarily stunned but quickly regained composure.
Having the opportunity to gain a new profession was definitely not to be missed.
Among all the conditions proposed by the companies, Bai Xiao was particularly inclined toward Wuyuan Company. With the Dark Red Modifier, what he needed most were Secret Martial Skills, and Wuyuan Company was undoubtedly adept in this area. After pondering for a moment, Bai Xiao looked up.
In the side hall, a group of corporate managers returned to the banquet area with somewhat disappointed expressions. Only the young man in the suit and Bai Xiao were left alone, sitting in quiet company. Time passed by, around six o’clock in the evening.
