To recruit talent, regardless of your true intentions, you must outwardly appear eager and welcoming, conveying sincerity. This is especially important if there are potential competitors; otherwise, as word spreads, who will want to work for you if you don't act conscientiously?
Therefore, even if it's an act, it has to be a good one! Elder You and Elder Xiao obviously have different personalities, and their gazes towards each other are naturally different as well.
At this moment, all the pressure seemed to crash down on Ye Wuque!
In this situation, even a regular beast guardian, even one of the first rank, would feel immense pressure and might even lose their composure.
They are either filled with anxiety or arrogant and conceited.
Because both of the dark-faced elders were staring intently at him, waiting for his reaction!
Many lower-ranking beast guardians have never even had the chance to see the Black-Faced Elder from afar, even once in countless years.
The only high-ranking member of the Beast Organization they ever met was probably the gladiator.
But just as the two dark-faced elders turned their gazes to Ye Wuque!
Ye Wuque, however, showed no hesitation or unease. Instead, he immediately clasped his hands in a respectful salute to the two black-faced elders.
The very attitude and response, without the slightest loss of composure, greatly pleased Elder You and Elder Xiao.
Ye Wuque bowed deeply to Elder Xiao!
"Xuan Yi thanks Elder Xiao for his kindness!"
"I am even more grateful to Elder Xiao for coming in person. You have truly given me, Xuan, a great honor. I have no doubt about your sincerity!"
"I'm completely flattered!"
Ye Wuque's respectful but sincere voice rang out.
"Logically speaking, Elder Xiao, if I, Xuan Yi, am ignorant and do not know the proper etiquette, then I am truly unworthy to become a first-order beast protector."
Upon hearing this, a faint smile flashed in Elder Xiao's eyes beneath his mask, no matter what.
That's a very pleasant thing to say, and it sounds very pleasant to hear.
This Xuan Yi is truly a top-notch talent!
Even Bai, standing to the side, revealed a hint of amazement!
Xuan Yi's eloquence proves he's not just a reckless brute; no wonder Elder Xiao likes him more and more.
"but!"
However, Ye Wuque's attitude changed immediately, and he became even more respectful to Elder Xiao.
"Please allow me, Elder Xiao..."
"I have only recently become a Xuan Yi; not long ago, I was only a Xuan San!"
"By hitching a ride and being lucky, we were able to bring back a level 5 potential talent and receive a reward."
"Logically speaking, I was like an ant back then, and Elder You was high and mighty. He simply dismissed me without even bothering to meet me, which was perfectly reasonable."
"But Elder You did not. He still met with me, encouraged me, and even bestowed upon me three bottles of Netherblood Elixir. Even though I was so excited that I revealed my ambition, Elder You still encouraged me with a smile and made it clear that I was one of his people."
"Perhaps, in the eyes of important people, it's just a word, without any real benefit."
"But at the time, it was an unimaginable value to me!"
"Therefore, when all the rewards arrived, I didn't hesitate to gamble with my life!"
"It's fair to say that without Elder You, there would be no me today, and no Xuan Yi!"
"Therefore, Elder You is a true benefactor to me... someone who recognized my talent and gave me a chance!"
"Elder Xiao, I am well aware of your kindness and sincerity, but it is precisely because of this that I am even more grateful, and at the same time, I am even more certain of my own thoughts!"
"Elder You has shown me great kindness. If I were to switch allegiance to someone else without hesitation, simply for personal gain or something else, would I still be considered a human being?"
"Even if such a ruthless and heartless person were to join your ranks, Elder Xiao, would you truly feel comfortable using him?"
After saying this, Ye Wuque bowed deeply to Elder Xiao once again.
"Therefore, thank you for your kindness, Elder Xiao!"
"But Xuan Yi still chooses Elder You!"
"If I have angered you, I, Xuan Yi, will bear the consequences to the fullest extent of the law!"
Inside the pavilion, as Ye Wuque's passionate and resolute speech resounded, it fell silent once more.
Elder Xiao stared intently at Ye Wuque.
Elder You also stared intently.
But Elder You's right hand, which was pressing down on the table, was tapping the surface of the table rapidly and very lightly.
The two Elder You's confidants noticed this detail and immediately understood what Elder You was doing at that moment...
I'm so happy!
Very satisfied!
Because under normal circumstances, Elder You only makes this subtle gesture when he is very happy.
At the same time, both of these guardian beasts couldn't help but marvel once again!
This Xuan Yi is incredibly eloquent!
They were completely convinced.
Hahahaha!
"What a kind of gratitude for being recognized and appreciated! What a loyal and compassionate person!"
"Xuanyi, this makes me like you even more!"
Elder Xiao let out a long laugh, breaking the deathly silence.
"Alright, now that you have stated your choice, I understand your intentions and your determination."
"As the saying goes, forced love is never sweet, so it's time for this old man to take his leave..."
"But remember this: my door is always open for you. If you ever change your mind, come anytime!"
After saying that, Elder Xiao turned and left cleanly and decisively.
As he passed Elder You, he seemed to let out a sour snort!
Bai Yi then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ye Wuque.
Ye Wuque immediately returned the bow.
The two left immediately.
However, Elder Xiao still displayed strong personal charisma and did not show any anger or embarrassment at being slighted.
Soon, the pavilion became quiet again.
but……
Hahahaha!
Elder You suddenly threw his head back and burst into wild laughter, his laughter filled with intense pleasure and satisfaction, as if he had finally vented a great deal of anger.
"Xuan Yi!"
"You certainly didn't disappoint me!"
"Come, sit down!"
After saying this, You Chang sat down again with Ye Wuque.
Elder You poured wine again.
"Xuanyi, don't worry, just one sentence... your choice will not disappoint you."
Elder You uttered a simple and blunt sentence, then downed the wine in his cup in one gulp.
Ye Wuque naturally drank a cup with him.
At this moment, Ye Wuque smiled with satisfaction, and so did Xiao Shuang.
It's been so long since I've had such a satisfying time acting!
Elder You's reaction did not disappoint him.
Indeed, the old saying is true...
Even the worst person will like a good person.
Even the most ruthless, selfish, and heartless person will appreciate someone who is kind, compassionate, and knows how to be grateful.
Ye Wuque's performance filled Elder You with genuine satisfaction and joy.
"Xuanyi, after you've had a good time drinking and eating, I'll introduce you to all my current subordinates, who will be your true colleagues and partners from now on."
"Then, I will take you to Beast God City as soon as possible to complete the 'Sequence One' coronation and leave my lineage's mark! I will also collect all your challenge rewards and coronation rewards!"
Elder You, holding a wine glass, spoke with a smile and a firm tone.
