What background does this guy have that even the chairman values him so much?

Of course, he didn’t dare delay and hurriedly ran outside.

Ye Luo’s sudden withdrawal from the challenge has led to speculation from all quarters. Some believe that Ye Luo felt he didn’t have the ability and thus gave up voluntarily, while others say this is just a marketing ploy by the Yibao Commerce Guild, deliberately stirring up people’s anticipation!

Of course, only the truly strong could see the burst of power Ye Luo displayed at the end!

At this moment, not only the Yibao Commerce Guild but countless other forces had turned their attention to Ye Luo.

What exactly was that final burst of Divine Soul?

The information about Ye Luo indicates that he is just an ordinary person.

But if he really was an ordinary person, how could he be proficient in military tactics, formations, and also possess such a powerful Divine Soul?

Potential, that is potential!

Unlimited potential, a monstrously talented genius; perhaps these are the words meant to describe Ye Luo!

Everyone was in a state of shocked uncertainty; of course, they had no way of doing anything about it.

Although they had seen Ye Luo’s challenge, who Ye Luo really was and where he was from remained unknown to them; this information was only available to the Yibao Commerce Guild and the Imperial Family!

In fact, within the Great Tang Empire, whether it be the Imperial Family or the various large clans and Sects, they all highly value talent, because this is a world where strength is revered!

Being able to have a strong individual undoubtedly brings great benefits to the strength of one’s power!

"Investigate, I must know who exactly Ye Luo is at all costs!"

It can be said that everyone who saw Ye Luo’s challenge issued the same order!

Of course, families with insufficient strength will probably never uncover the mystery.

For instance, the family where Wang Tianli is from, or the City Lord’s Mansion of Nan Zhou City, because their strength hasn’t reached a certain level, are fundamentally unable to see through this point.

Ye Luo walked outside, puzzled. Could the sudden explosion of the gaming pod be a deliberate act by the Yibao Commerce Guild upon seeing his near completion of the challenge?

Ye Luo couldn’t help but think this way, because he would never have imagined that it was the burst of Strength from his Divine Soul that had exceeded the gaming pod’s limits.

Thinking it might be because the Yibao Commerce Guild worried that he would just win the prize and thus resorted to tricks, Ye Luo felt anger in his heart.

How could there be such a deceitful merchant in the Martial Realm? If you don’t want to give away the prize, then don’t hold such a challenge; since you did, you should keep your promise, not play these petty tricks. Could it be that they really think Ye Luo is easy to bully?

"Bang!"

With anger, Ye Luo kicked the room’s door flying and strode outside.

At this moment, an Elder from the Yibao Commerce Guild had just walked over and seeing the anger on Ye Luo’s face, his heart suddenly tightened.

"This is bad, what happened? Who has offended this young master?"

The Elder had originally been thinking about how to make connections with Ye Luo, but to his surprise, he was immediately greeted by an infuriated Ye Luo upon arrival. What was he to make of this?

But no matter what, he had no choice but to steel himself and approach Ye Luo.

"Young Master Ye..."

Just as the Elder was about to speak, he was cut off by Ye Luo.

"Hmph, do you really think what you’re doing is acceptable?"

Caught off guard by Ye Luo’s sudden questioning, the Elder was somewhat at a loss. He had no idea what Ye Luo wanted to say.

"This... may I ask what prompted Young Master Ye’s remark? Has the Yibao Commerce Guild neglected you in any manner?"

Ye Luo glared at the Elder. Currently harboring resentment in his heart, he immediately berated the Elder without further ado: "Hmph, since you run a business, you should keep your word and not resort to these petty tricks. I, Ye Luo, couldn’t care less about your so-called Xumi Honor. However, disrupting the challenge by damaging the gaming pod? Do you really think this is acceptable?"

Upon hearing this, the Elder realized that Ye Luo was angry about the abrupt interruption of his challenge. He felt extremely wronged in his heart. After all, it wasn’t his doing. In fact, it was Ye Luo himself who had damaged the gaming pod, although it was possible that the quality of the pod wasn’t very good either!

Of course, he only dared to keep these complaints to himself and spoke with courteous words instead.

"No, no, Young Master Ye misunderstands. It was not our guild’s doing that the gaming pod was tampered with. Please rest assured, we will not withhold any rewards due to you. Additionally, as compensation, you may choose anything you like from our store—whatever it is, as long as it catches Young Master Ye’s eye, please feel free to take it. Furthermore, from now on, whenever Young Master Ye purchases anything from our commerce guild, everything will be at a 30% discount. What do you think of this arrangement, Young Master Ye?"

Ye Luo was slightly taken aback by the compensation offer; it seemed quite valuable. Being able to choose anything as he pleased and the promise of a 30% discount in the future?

By all accounts, it was an offer befitting his status, even to the point where Ye Luo could sense an attempt to curry favor.

Yet Ye Luo did not feel he had done anything to warrant such fawning overtures from the Yibao Commerce Guild, so his confusion was only fleeting before he chose not to dwell on it.

One thing Ye Luo was sure of was that the Yibao Commerce Guild hadn’t intentionally damaged the gaming pod to renege on a deal!

Since the Elder had said as much, Ye Luo decided against further contention.

"Fine, since that’s the case, I do not want any other items. Just give me the rewards I deserve!"

Upon hearing these words, the Elder became even more convinced of Ye Luo’s extraordinary background. He knew inside the Yibao Commerce Guild, aside from that particular Xumi Honor which was not priced, the value of other Xumi Honors was also not low, with the most expensive being worth tens of thousands of gold!

Tens of thousands of gold was no small sum; it could represent the entire wealth of a minor family!

But Ye Luo didn’t seem to care at all!

That discount too, offering items at 30% off which was effectively cost price, meant that if Ye Luo purchased anything from them and resold it, he would secure a huge amount of wealth. Yet Ye Luo rejected the offer without giving it a second thought!

Is this something an ordinary person could do?

Recalling that the President had personally contacted him to secure a relationship with Ye Luo at any cost.

The Elder had long speculated countless possibilities about Ye Luo’s background!

Unfortunately, the Elder had misunderstood the President of the Yibao Commerce Guild’s intentions, and at the same time, he had also misunderstood why Ye Luo did not accept his gifts.

In a sense, all of this was just a wonderful misunderstanding!

Seeing Ye Luo responding like this, naturally, the Elder couldn’t possibly insist on Ye Luo accepting the items he offered, so he reluctantly presented the Xumi Honor. Of course, his thoughts were already turning to how he could foster good relations with Ye Luo.
