Chapter 761 The Zhu Family Head's Visit
"You mean, Mingdu is a giant cage, trapping all the teams that come to participate?" Feng Shiyi asked in surprise.
Xiao Ye No. 3 nodded slightly.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Feng Shiyi gasped. Had Xu Tianran gone mad? He actually wanted to detain all the teams from the participating sects.
No! That would be capturing them all in one fell swoop!
In an instant, Feng Shiyi simulated the possible consequences of this conspiracy in her mind.
war!
According to her understanding, each empire's participating team includes members of the royal family, as well as the offspring of some court officials, which will inevitably cause an uproar among the three empires.
After a brief moment of shock, Feng Shiyi asked, "Is this move to strategize for resources?"
The purpose of kidnapping and imprisonment is basically to extort huge sums of money or resources.
Xiao Ye No. 3 walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked down at the street full of pedestrians, and after a moment of silence, said, "Kidnapping has a chance of killing the hostage."
Feng Shiyi suddenly stood up, her expression unpredictable.
"Don't doubt it, Xu Tianran is a rational madman. Although this sounds contradictory, it's a very apt metaphor for Xu Tianran," said Xiao Ye No. 3.
"Since you know, then why?" Feng Shiyi wanted to ask Ye Nanxiao why, knowing this, he still sent teams from various branches into Mingdu.
Xiao Ye No. 3 slowly turned around and looked at Feng Shiyi. "Little Shiyi, going to Mingdu is a risky move. All the important figures who can determine the future of the empire are here. This is a tremendous opportunity!"
Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting shadows on Xiao Ye No. 3's back and his face.
Looking into those bright, azure eyes, Feng Shiyi's anxious heart gradually calmed down.
"What do we need to do?" Feng Shiyi asked calmly.
From the day she decided to follow Ye Nanxiao, her body, soul, and life belonged to him.
If he wants to gamble, then gamble with him.
"Back up key data, distribute it to Yuheng and Yingliu, relocate equipment. The building is a big target, and many shady businesses want to get involved."
"Strengthen security in the residential area. Inform all personnel that starting today, an additional clock-in/out system will be implemented. Those who are late for work will have their pay deducted. Closely monitor people entering and leaving the building. If anyone without registration appears at the Aodu Building, we will work overtime to produce access cards. Special access cards will be issued to special personnel."
Xiao Ye No. 3 issued a series of orders, and martial law was secretly imposed on the Aodu Building.
The employees of Aodu Building suddenly discovered that they had to use the work cards provided by the company to leave work today. If they did not use their work cards to clock out, they would be marked as having missed a card. The record of missing a card would prevent them from participating in the monthly best employee selection and would also cause them to lose their perfect attendance bonus for the month.
After everyone found out what perfect attendance and monthly best employee meant, one by one they were attracted by the small financial rewards.
It wasn't for the monetary bonus for perfect attendance, the rare metal reward for being the best employee of the month, or the 30% discount on Aodu products; the main reason was to be able to stand on the stage to receive an award at the monthly conference and have my photo displayed in the observation corridor of the Aodu Building.
That would be so impressive!
At the boss's urging, the Aodu Chamber of Commerce held several team competitions, mainly for those who met the participation requirements, whether they were Soul Masters or Soul Instructors, all of whom chose to sign up.
The main benefit is that there are rewards for participating in the competition.
When Mingdu, in conjunction with the three great empires, announced the upcoming Continental Soul Master Tournament, it received an enthusiastic response.
The All-Continent Soul Master Tournament is arguably the most prestigious competition on the continent. Winning it not only brings generous rewards but also instant fame throughout the continent.
Even if they don't win the championship, just making it to the quarterfinals will make them famous.
Whether it's other sects, the general public, or the underworld, these are all channels for propaganda.
A good reputation can attract a large number of Soul Masters to join, or some powerful Soul Masters to become guest advisors. The benefits of cooperation and expanding one's network are exceptionally generous.
This is also why the Soul Master Competition has remained popular for so long.
Because of the upcoming grand competition, Xu Tianran issued an order to Ju Zi, who was waiting at the border, to establish entry checkpoints, set up several routes for the participating teams to enter the capital, and set up outposts in the cities along the way to reinforce the defenses.
The official explanation given was to prevent evil spirit masters or similar entities from causing damage during the competition, and to provide a safety guarantee for the participating teams.
Registration for the competition will open one month after the announcement of the competition.
Many factions still have ample time to prepare.
This also gave Xu Tianran time to make arrangements.
Shrek City.
Since Ye Nanxiao announced that he would not participate in the Soul Master Competition, Tang Ya lent her office to Ye Nanxiao under the pretext of training.
Ye Nanxiao, who was sitting in his office processing documents, was also happy to have some free time.
Everyone else went to training, so no one bothered him. His clone was there for the training at the academy, freeing up his main body.
After Qiu'er and Huo Yuhao rejoined the Shrek Academy team and the Tang Sect team respectively, Xiao Ye No. 2 and Xiao Ye No. 4 also started a high-intensity work mode.
In the morning, he assisted Ma Xiaotao in coaching the Shrek Academy reserve team, and in the afternoon, he joined forces with Tang Ya to give the Tang Clan's Seven Little Monsters a good beating.
Then, exhausted, I was dragged into the abyss of bed by the two female demons that night.
That's why Ye Nanxiao ended up squatting in his office like a retired old man, surrounded by papers.
Compared to the turbulent atmosphere of the kitchen table and bathroom bathtub, he found the smell of ink and the slight warmth of paper more comforting.
"In this world, there is only a small piece of paper, bearing the ink that records time, to comfort my fragile heart!" Ye Nanxiao said smugly, pressing his face against the paper.
"You've just been drained dry and exhausted. You're making it sound like you've suffered a great injustice."
Snow Empress floated out from between Ye Nanxiao's eyebrows, flew onto his back and lay down, her pretty face quietly pressed against Ye Nanxiao's cheek.
"I'm not wronged, it's just that the ammunition consumption is a bit high." Ye Nanxiao rolled his eyes at Xue Di. The fact that his ammunition depleted so quickly was partly due to this girl.
"Oh, is that so? Then how about we talk to the cafeteria tonight and ask them to save those special parts for you? Didn't you say that you are what you eat?" Xue Di put one arm around Ye Nanxiao's neck and stroked his hair with the other.
What you eat is what you need to replenish.
Ye Nanxiao suddenly remembered that since he came to this world, he had never seen anyone soak deer or tiger in alcohol. Could it be that the business opportunity had not yet been discovered?
Or perhaps there are substitutes like the "miracle herb"?
Ye Nanxiao, who was increasingly convinced that he might have discovered a market for ordinary people, became excited.
"Looks like you're excited!" Xue Di said meaningfully, her small hands, which were wrapped around Ye Nanxiao's neck, slipped inside his collar.
The latest novel is first published here!
Actually, it wasn't just Ye Nanxiao who liked cherries; she liked them too.
"Wait! This is the office!"
"Want me to recount your glorious feat in the kitchen last night?"
"."
"No! I have important guests to meet later!"
"Then let's finish this quickly!"
Outside the Tang Gate, an exquisite and luxurious carriage was parked in front of the gate.
The two Tang Clan disciples on duty immediately stepped forward and asked, "This is the Tang Clan. May I ask who this distinguished guest is?"
The carriage door slowly opened, revealing a long, beautiful leg clad in black stockings.
A tall figure stepped out of the carriage, wearing an elegant black dress, a white petal shawl draped over her shoulders, and her long, glossy black hair casually tied up on her left side. She wore black cat's-eye gems in her ears.
"I am from the Zhu family of Xingluo, and I have come to visit Vice Sect Master Ye as agreed," the tall woman said.
The two disciples were initially surprised by the woman's aloof and beautiful appearance, but when they heard that she was the vice sect leader who had come to see them, their eyes immediately lit up with admiration, overshadowing their appreciation for the woman.
"So you've come to see the Vice Sect Master! Distinguished guest, this way please!" a disciple said, bowing respectfully.
Another disciple quickly pulled out a communication soul tool from his lower back and notified the reception hall.
The woman stared with interest at the communication soul tool in the Tang Clan disciple's hand, waiting quietly.
"elder sister!"
A young girl ran across the street and stood in front of the tall woman.
"Zhu Lu, are you here to answer the Vice Sect Master's appointment?" The two Tang Sect disciples on duty recognized Zhu Lu and asked.
Zhu Lu nodded, took her older sister's arm, and said, "I'm with my sister. Please let them know."
The two disciples on duty nodded, pressed a few buttons on the gateposts, and opened the gate.
"Sister, come with me!" Zhu Lu said.
"Little Lu'er, it seems you know this place quite well, huh?" the tall woman said with a smile.
Zhu Lu nodded slightly. "I've been here a few times before, to discuss collaboration with Senior Ye."
The tall woman reached out and gently patted Zhu Lu's head, a pleased smile on her face. "Little Lu'er has grown up. She knows how to help her older sister share the burden. I'm so touched. Why don't you come home with me tonight? I'll cook for you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Lu's lips twitched, and fear flashed in her eyes, clearly indicating that she lacked confidence in her older sister's cooking skills.
"No need, sister! I have training with Huabin tonight! You have no idea how hard Huabin has been training lately!"
"Alright, alright, then have a cup of tea with your sister before you go. I wonder what's so good about those two brothers from the Dai family that attracts you and your second sister so much." The tall woman smiled like a kind mother.
"Let's finish discussing the collaboration first! I promised Senior Ye!" Zhu Lu rested her head on the woman's shoulder, which made the loving light in the tall woman's eyes shine even brighter.
The tall woman thoroughly enjoyed her younger sister's coquettish behavior.
"Alright, let's see what kind of person this Senior Ye is, and whether he's taking advantage of the situation to bully my Lu'er. My sisters are all my precious treasures! I won't allow anyone to bully you!"
