"You, go out and change into slippers before coming back in."

Xiao Mu walked into the room and pointed to Mr. Ming, who was dressed in a suit.

Qi Rong dared not mention the issue of changing into slippers to the other party, but he had no such concerns.

Mr. Ming, who was about to take something out of the storage box, was startled and stopped, then looked up to carefully size up Xiao Mu, sneering, "Just a mere Mortal Realm, daring to command me, you have quite some guts. Do you even know who I am?"

"No matter who you are, when you come to someone else's house, you have to respect the owner, or get out!"

Xiao Mu sneered, pointing directly at the door even more disrespectfully, "Do you think being a worker from the Great Tang Ruins makes you special? Believe it, or not, I can complain directly to headquarters and get you dismissed?"

"Friend, you seem to know quite a bit."

Mr. Ming was surprised, taking a serious look at Xiao Mu, but eventually did not react, instead, he looked at Qi Rong, arrogantly asking, "Do I need to go out and change into slippers?"

"No need."

Qi Rong did not dare to offend this Mr. Ming at all, hurriedly smiling apologetically, "You are a distinguished guest, just sit, I will clean up later."

While speaking, Qi Rong implored Xiao Mu with her eyes.

She really didn't dare to offend this Mr. Ming, fearing it would delay her matters.

Xiao Mu snorted coldly, said no more but didn't leave, and sat on the opposite sofa. He wanted to see what Liu Yan could really do, was the Alliance's regulations really worth nothing?

After all, he was a Grand Elder of the Alliance, encountering a situation where an Alliance manager was bullying an ordinary Variant couldn't be ignored.

Moreover, since Liu Yan was related to Yan Ming, catching this opportunity to strike at Liu Yan was equivalent to striking at Yan Ming.

Encountering such an opportunity, how could Xiao Mu let it slip?

Nonetheless, evidence had to be presented; otherwise, he couldn't justify himself to the Human Emperor.

This was also the reason why Xiao Mu stayed to listen.

"Mr. Ming, sorry, would you please come to my room to talk?" Qi Rong asked Mr. Ming tactfully.

"No need, I only have a few words to say, then I'll leave." Mr. Ming glared fiercely at Xiao Mu, having no intention to follow Qi Rong into the room.

"Please, go ahead!" Qi Rong hurriedly invited, sitting on the edge of the sofa, her attitude filled with caution.

Mr. Ming pressed his hand on the storage box, looked at Qi Rong, and spoke solemnly, "Let me ask you once more, Miss Qi, do you really want to be friends with our manager?"

Qi Rong suddenly became apprehensive, Mr. Ming's repeated emphasis unnerved her, "Mr. Ming, what exactly do you mean by making friends?"

"Miss Qi, you overthink it."

Mr. Ming finally managed to squeeze out a smile, "By making friends, I simply mean ordinary friendship, nothing else."

Xiao Mu listened impassively, at this point, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

He initially intended to seize some leverage against Liu Yan, like if this Mr. Ming came and coerced, intimidated, or tempted Qi Rong, but as it turned out, the other party spoke flawlessly, not mentioning any situation he had anticipated.

This left Xiao Mu feeling at a loss, apparently, Liu Yan was no ordinary old fox.

"If Manager Liu doesn't mind me, of course, I'd be willing," Qi Rong felt flattered.

"Everyone has their own value of existence, Miss Qi, don't belittle yourself." Mr. Ming suddenly became polite, "Here, Manager Liu asked me to gift you a secret manual, hoping you can cultivate well."

"When you succeed in cultivation, our manager is also willing to guide you a bit, letting you achieve greater accomplishments in cultivation."

In Qi Rong's expectant gaze, Mr. Ming finally opened the storage box and took out a secret manual.

The man picked up the secret manual single-handedly, handed it to Qi Rong, and seriously said, "Miss Qi, this is the secret manual that Manager Liu entrusted me to give you, I hope you cultivate well."

"When you achieve success in cultivation, just let us know, and our Manager Liu will come personally to guide you."

"Miss Qi, cultivate well, hope you succeed soon and do not disappoint Manager Liu's trust in you."

Saying this, Mr. Ming stood up and bid farewell, "I won't stay, Miss Qi, no need to see me off, goodbye!"

Holding the secret manual, Qi Rong was somewhat flustered, hurriedly standing up, chasing Mr. Ming to ask, "Mr. Ming, wait, what about my True Realm qualification? Did Manager Liu say anything to you?"

Mr. Ming's gaze swept over Xiao Mu, speaking flawlessly, "Miss Qi, the True Realm qualification isn't something Manager Liu can decide alone, everyone needs to compete fairly."

"These are both the regulations of the Alliance and the Great Tang Ruins; our Manager Liu cannot and will not show favoritism. It is indeed not feasible to agree to your proposal to purchase the qualification from him."

"Miss Qi, I think if you have enough talent, practice our manager's gifted secret manual more often, maybe as your talent increases, you'll gain the qualification on your own."

"Miss Qi, I wish you successful cultivation, goodbye!"

After speaking, Mr. Ming turned around directly, walked out the door, not looking back at Xiao Mu and Qi Rong again.

"Mr. Ming, take care, let me see you off!" Qi Rong stood up, ready to see Mr. Ming out.

"No need."

Mr. Ming straightforwardly refused Qi Rong's offer, quickly walked into the elevator, and went downstairs. As the elevator doors closed, he stood in the elevator, nodded at Qi Rong, and exhorted, "Miss Qi, please cultivate earnestly, as soon as you succeed, our Manager Liu will provide guidance specifically for you."
