The two people from Wangyou Media left with some regret.
In the end, the three of them still turned down Wangyou Media's offer to sign them. They were a little sorry to miss out on a chance to become famous and make money, but they knew it could very well be a trap.
If they were Immortal Gate disciples, their ties to Wangyou Media would be quite loose, and the company wouldn't dare demand too much of them. After all, with the backing of a great Immortal Gate, the company probably wouldn't be able to keep operating locally if it did anything to harm a disciple's interests.
But to ordinary freelance cultivators like them, a company was a behemoth. If disagreements arose later, and they refused to follow the company's arrangements, they could easily end up losing everything.
Even He Caihua, a famous internet personality, couldn't escape her media company's control. At best, she got better treatment, but she still had to follow orders.
The only upside might be that obedient people really could make money.
But the three people at the firm had other priorities. Yue Wen wanted money so he could cultivate better and grow stronger; his long-term goal was to reach the Seventh Realm as soon as possible and explore Snake Mountain Tiger Tomb. If making money got in the way of cultivation, it just wouldn't be worth it.
His best bet was to take on missions at the firm, slay demons and eliminate evil, earn more important Demon Suppressing Coins, and keep improving himself. Zhao Xing'er didn't lack money at home, and there was no way she would ever follow the company's orders. If she signed a contract, the only outcome would be paying a penalty. That was beyond doubt.
Qi Dian was even more straightforward.
