Ning Fengzhi's face had drained of color, leaving it deathly pale.
Just as despair welled up in his heart,
Chen Xuan's voice rang out again.
"However..."
Those two words made Ning Fengzhi's heart leap into his throat.
"I've received your sincerity."
Chen Xuan slowly raised his head, his gaze finally settling on Ning Fengzhi's face.
"Money and possessions are but floating clouds to me."
"I have no need of them."
Chen Xuan paused, then continued.
"I'm someone who hates trouble."
Ning Fengzhi was taken aback. He didn't understand what Chen Xuan meant.
Chen Xuan pointed toward the academy behind him.
"I established Blue Silver Academy on a whim, but the academy needs someone to manage its day-to-day operations."
"My disciples need experience, resources, and suitable Soul Rings."
"Sometimes, I need to find certain people or things."
"These trivial matters are a waste of time."
Looking at Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xuan spoke one word at a time:
"What I lack isn't these gifts of yours."
"What I lack is someone who can take care of these trivial matters for me and save me time."
"Do you understand?"
In an instant!
An unprecedented light burst from Ning Fengzhi's eyes!
He understood!
He understood completely!
For an existence like Chen Xuan, how precious were his time and energy?
How could he deign to handle such mundane trivialities?
And those were precisely what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect excelled at!
In wealth, connections, intelligence networks, and the ability to mobilize resources across the entire continent, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was second to none!
What sir needed wasn't a groveling subordinate.
He needed an efficient operation that could handle all his worries for him... a chief steward!
"Fengzhi understands!"
Ning Fengzhi bent deeply at the waist once more. This time, it wasn't
