Xiao Yao

Chapter 874 Yu Fengnian

During dinner, Lin Ziyi and Xiao Ying walked out, chatting and laughing. Xiao Ying looked at Ye Tian with admiration, "Brother Ye Tian, you're amazing! Baozhi Company is yours!"

Ye Tian smiled, "I don't understand business, it's all handled by your Ziyi sister. By the way, Xiao Ying, you studied law and are a qualified lawyer. You should work in our company's legal department from now on."

Xiao Ying's beautiful eyes widened, "Really?"

Ye Tian replied, "Of course. Ziyi, isn't the legal department hiring?"

Lin Ziyi nodded, "Yes. But I don't know if a brilliant lawyer like Xiao Ying would be interested in our small company."

Xiao Ying playfully chided, "Sister Ziyi, don't tease me. What brilliant lawyer? I'm still a newcomer."

Lin Ziyi said, "Alright, then you'll start in the legal department as an assistant. Once you're familiar with domestic legal affairs, I'll arrange a formal position for you."

Xiao Ying joyfully exclaimed, "Thank you, Sister Ziyi, thank you, Brother Ye Tian! I will definitely work hard!"

Lin Jinsheng chuckled, "Ziyi, you must pay Xiao Ying a good salary."

Lin Ziyi assured him, "Don't worry, Dad. The assistant salary will be twenty thousand a month, with a four-month bonus at the end of the year."

Xiao Ying quickly interjected, "Sister Ziyi, that's too much! I only earned three thousand US dollars a month as an assistant abroad."

Lin Ziyi insisted, "Xiao Ying, you are talented, and you're my sister. I can't treat you unfairly."

Zhu Yuting added, "Mainly, you were alone abroad, and we were worried. Working in our own company from now on means you'll be closer to home. By the way, Xiao Ying, have you found a boyfriend abroad?"

Xiao Ying became a little shy and replied, "Godmother, he returned to China with me. He's currently in Zhonghai."

Zhu Yuting's eyes lit up, "Oh really? Bring him to meet us one day, and Godmother will help you vet him."

Xiao Ying agreed, "Okay, when he has time, I'll have him come over."

After dinner and some casual conversation, it was past six in the evening. Ye Tian walked out of his home and headed towards Fengming Xuan.

Fengming Xuan is a scenic building constructed in the mid-Qing Dynasty. However, it had been under renovation for the past half month, with a surrounding wall erected, so no one was present.

Ye Tian arrived below Fengming Xuan and looked up. He noticed a faint light on the third floor. He then leaped lightly, using the railing for leverage, and gracefully landed outside the third-floor railing before flipping inside.

The door on the third floor was open, with light spilling out. He walked in and saw a man in his thirties sitting on the floor. In front of him was a brass oil lamp, its light casting a slightly yellowish, somewhat eerie glow on his face.

"Mr. Ye, there are no chairs here, so I can only ask you to sit on the floor."

Ye Tian sat down opposite him. The oil lamp between them cast their shadows, swaying behind them like phantoms.

"We're not very familiar with each other. Why don't you introduce yourself?" Ye Tian initiated the conversation.

Yu Fengnian smiled, "I was the one who called. Mr. Ye should know my name is Yu Fengnian. However, you might not know my background. I am the illegitimate son of a cultivation family. Since childhood, the Yu family has poured all their resources into the main branch, leaving me with nothing."

Ye Tian responded, "I sympathize with your situation, but what use do you have for me?"

Yu Fengnian said calmly, "Although I'm not favored, my aptitude is far superior to the imbeciles in the main branch. Even without resources, I've cultivated to the realm of Half-step Human Immortal."

Ye Tian observed, "I can see that. You have indeed touched the edge of Human Immortal, but you are still far from it."

Yu Fengnian sighed softly, "Yes, Human Immortal is too difficult! That's why I need someone to guide me. I know you have already become a Human Immortal and have traveled far on this path. Therefore, I hope you can guide me!"

Ye Tian raised an eyebrow, "Guide me? You trust me that much?"

Yu Fengnian explained, "Based on the intelligence I've gathered, you are very mysterious and have powerful backing. You are skilled in medicine and are a Human Immortal. You can surely guide me to take that final step!"

Ye Tian questioned, "So, you used that Flood Dragon Pill to ask for my help?"
