Chapter 28: Company Meeting! Death is Coming

However, one thing that put Luo Daming at ease was that Lin Xuan's innate Outsider ability could defend against sneak attacks.

Now, Lin Xuan's inner core has been formed.

If he were not to encounter a sneak attack, there would basically be no need to worry about anything else.

Lin Xuan returned to his residence, and two figures, one green and one white, flew out from his wrists, landing on the ground and transforming into two women.

"Benefactor!"

After the two women appeared, they performed an ancient bow.

"No need to call me Benefactor; you can call me by my name or call me Daoist."

Sweeping his gaze over the two women, Lin Xuan waved his hand to indicate.

"How could we do that."

The two women shook their heads in unison.

"What I say goes, but how should I address you two? Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing?"

Lin Xuan asked in return.

"Our sisters previously cultivated in the mountains; although we did go out and learned some things, we did not interact with others, so we sisters only addressed each other as elder sister and younger sister."

Bai She answered obediently.

"Yes, yes!" Qing She nodded repeatedly, then her eyes rolled, "Um... Daoist, why don't you give us a name!"

Xiao Qing said with a grin.

Giving a name is not something to be done carelessly; at other times, it might be fine.

But in this world, a name actually represents karma.

If he gave them names, and the two snakes committed wrongdoings in the future, the karma would also fall upon him.

However, Lin Xuan did not really care.

"How about just calling you Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing? It's simple to call you that way."

Seeing Lin Xuan deep in thought, Bai She spoke again.

"That's so simple, and it seems to be the same name as people in a human television drama."

Xiao Qing widened her eyes, then spoke up.

"Oh? You have even watched this television drama?"

Lin Xuan was somewhat surprised.

"Hehe, we saw it when we snuck out; it's a story about two snake demons entering the world together to repay a kindness. The white snake was also the elder sister, and she even married a human and gave birth to a child for the human.

But the ending wasn't good."

Xiao Qing recalled, then spoke up.

Xiao Bai had clearly watched it too, but she didn't know what she was thinking now, looking at Lin Xuan from time to time.

"Humans and snakes cannot give birth to children; there is reproductive isolation."

Lin Xuan rubbed his chin, popularizing knowledge for Xiao Qing.

"Ah?"

Xiao Qing widened her eyes, looking incredulous.

"One is a warm-blooded animal, the other is a cold-blooded animal; how could they breed offspring?"

"Uh, is that so?"

Xiao Qing turned her head to look at Xiao Bai.

"It should be; since Benefactor says so, then it must be correct."

"It's a pity, I wanted to hold my sister's child; I saw those little children, they really smell delicious."

Smell delicious?

"You don't want to eat people, do you?"

Lin Xuan asked.

"Ah? I don't."

Xiao Qing immediately shook her head.

"That's good, if you eat people, then I will have no choice but to clean house."

Lin Xuan sighed and reminded the two snakes.

"Yes, Benefactor!"

"I already said don't call me Benefactor."

"Okay, Benefactor!"

"Forget it, you two find rooms nearby to stay in; living together or separately is fine, there are rooms anyway."

Lin Xuan's place was originally where the people of the temple lived.

However, because Lin Xuan lived and cultivated here, to avoid being disturbed, both sides were empty.

……

Na Du Tong, headquarters.

Confirming the culprit had been caught and brought back to the Company, Chairman Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You go and communicate with the higher-ups to report this matter."

Chairman Zhao said as such; among the directors sitting around, a short woman stood up, nodded, and prepared to leave.

"By the way, also ask about the method of disposing of this person; should we execute them publicly by firing squad."

Chairman Zhao urged again.

"That wouldn't be good, would it? After all, they are an Outsider."

Several board members spoke up immediately to offer a reminder.

Of course, it was not that they were reluctant to let Zhao Guizhen die.

The main reason was still the need to provide an explanation to those above.

"The person is already half-dead; it doesn't matter how they die. Are you still afraid they might run away?"

"Chairman Zhao is right. This person committed such an act and truly deserves to be executed. It has been so many years since such a heinous incident occurred.

We finally managed to settle down, and now this kind of thing has happened again."

"Since everyone has no objections, let's proceed accordingly."

Chairman Zhao spoke, and the woman responsible for communication nodded and walked away quickly.

"Now let's discuss another matter. Dou Le obtained the records from Lu Lin of the Lu family. The one who discovered and defeated the culprit this time is Daoist Lin Xuan of Baiyun Guan."

"Lin Xuan? I've never heard of this name. Is he from the younger generation?"

"I don't really have any impression of him."

"The culprit's strength this time was actually not weak. If he can defeat the culprit and is still from the younger generation, then his strength is indeed quite good."

Chairman Zhao listened to the speculations of the board members without interrupting, waiting until the voices died down before continuing.

"He is a disciple of Luo Daming who has been cultivating in the mountains all this time. You should have an impression of him now, right?"

With Chairman Zhao's reminder, quite a few people suddenly realized.

"I do know that Luo Daming seems to have a disciple he treasures very much and is reluctant to let down the mountain."

"Everyone, I just checked. There is a record. He was a child picked up and brought to Baiyun Guan about seventeen years ago, and he was registered with the Company two years later.

Furthermore, what was registered was an Innate Ability, but the file does not record exactly what that Innate Ability is."

"He is actually an Innate Ability user? But that's not right. If that's the case, doesn't it mean this young Daoist is still very young?"

"Eighteen years old!"

Chairman Zhao reminded them.

"That can be considered a young genius. Can the Company look into trying to recruit this young Daoist?"

"I think it's unlikely. We approached Baiyun Guan when we were selecting the Ten Elders, and they had no such intention. What method do you plan to use to recruit him now?"

Chairman Zhao tapped the table, and the conference room fell silent.

"Wang Ai is injured, and it was an accident. His grandson, Wang Bing, is also injured and may be left with a disability."

Chairman Zhao suddenly spoke of a matter that seemed unrelated.

"What's the situation?"

Several board members looked astonished.

"At the Lu family's birthday banquet, the juniors were sparring. Wang Bing chose this Lin Xuan as his opponent. Then, Lin Xuan didn't even make a move; Wang Bing first fell down and broke two front teeth.

Afterwards, he used the Spirit-Controlling Technique, but it almost backfired. Wang Ai stepped in to resolve the backlash, but Lin Xuan made a move and clashed with Wang Ai.

Although it didn't look like a serious fight, he did not fall into a disadvantageous position."

"Ah? He fought with Wang Ai?"

Wang Ai is, after all, one of the Ten Elders.

"Is it his Innate Ability?"

Someone guessed.

Chairman Zhao nodded slightly.

"It might be because of that, but I am currently having people collect information."

As Chairman Zhao spoke, he scanned the room and spoke again.

"Additionally, Wang Ai and Wang Bing encountered some things after returning to their room. If you have seen the movie *Final Destination*, then that is roughly the situation.

When they left the Lu family, the tires of the car they were riding in blew out, and the car lost control, rushed off the road, and fell into a deep ditch by the side."

Listening to Chairman Zhao's account, the other board members fell silent.

This does sound truly bizarre.
