Gu Yuena's Anger

"Since that is the case, I'll arrange for your elder to work with the Spirit Transfer Masters. We happen to be short-staffed lately, and I'll also assign someone to teach your elder how to familiarize himself with the work."

As if afraid that no one had heard him clearly, Hua Tao repeated himself, enunciating every word distinctly. His voice echoed through the spacious, silent conference room.

"Spirit Transfer Master?"

The high-ranking officials present exchanged looks.

One had to know that Spirit Transfer Masters were usually responsible for awakening children's Martial Souls and selling Soul Spirits. They handled countless daily odds and ends; practically any trivial task could be dumped on them. It was unquestionably a bottom-tier position within the Spirit Pagoda system.

Yet Gu Yuena's elder was a Super Douluo!

Any faction with a Super Douluo could call itself a first-rate power.

Even in an organization as massive as the Spirit Pagoda, a Super Douluo held an unquestionably lofty status and was qualified to enter the decision-making ranks.

And now, the Branch Master actually wanted a Super Douluo to serve as a low-level employee. Was that not blatant humiliation?

Even if he was not allowed into the decision-making ranks, he should at least have been given an executive-level post.

Gu Yuena might have said that the arrangements could be made as appropriate, but that had merely been polite wording. When arranging a position for one's superior's relative, one naturally had to place them in management. It was practically an unspoken understanding.

After hearing Hua Tao's words, Gu Yuena unconsciously frowned and asked calmly, "Pagoda Master Hua, have we met before?"

"No." Hua Tao's answer was concise. He met Gu Yuena's gaze openly, with seemingly no hidden emotion in his eyes.

"Then did anything I said earlier offend Pagoda Master Hua?"
