Chapter 195 An Interesting World
Ye Yu gently inhaled at the man from before, and the magic wand in his hand shot into Ye Yu's hand again out of thin air.
She finds the world very interesting now, not only with ancient martial arts and superpowers, but now magic has also emerged. She wonders if there will be other things in the future.
Thinking of this, she asked, "Does your so-called magic have different levels?"
Fearing they would ramble on, she used her divine sense to increase the pressure on them, instantly turning their faces deathly pale. They suspected Ye Yu might be using some mysterious Eastern magic, but dared not ask further.
One of them, unable to contain himself any longer, spoke up, trembling: "We are divided into the beginner, intermediate, advanced, and top-tier stages. The beginner stage is divided into apprentices and trainee mages, mainly learning basic magical knowledge and skills. The intermediate stage is divided into mages and advanced mages, who can skillfully use various spells. The advanced stage is divided into archmages, grandmasters, and great archmages, who possess a profound understanding and superb application of magic. Finally, there is the top-tier stage, divided into magic saints and magic gods. At this point, the mage's magical attainments have reached their peak, and they can create new spells. For example, someone like you should be an advanced mage."
"It seems the ranking system is pretty much the same everywhere," Ye Yu muttered to himself.
Then she asked, "Why did the United Kingdom send you to steal their core beauty and anti-aging technologies? What do they want them for?"
"Our royal princess, Gwendolyn, was subjected to a strange spell. Her appearance and physical condition aged by years. Every day that passed for us was like a year for her. Later, the royal family hired a top magician who temporarily suppressed the princess's aging body, but could not preserve her appearance."
"Later, the royal family learned that your company's anti-aging essence was particularly famous, so they bought some for the princess to use, and it was indeed very effective. However, the princess had to use a large amount every day, so the royal family wanted to acquire the core technology, but your company refused several times. The royal family had no choice but to send us to steal it."
Ye Yu played with the magic wand in her hand, thinking: The British royal family really values this princess, making them go to such lengths.
Seeing that Ye Yu remained silent for a long time, large beads of sweat dripped down their faces. One of the three said, "Is there anything else you want to ask? We'll tell you everything we know, as long as you let us go."
“Yes, yes, yes!” the other two echoed.
Ye Yu stroked her chin: "You just called me a 'Muggle'? What did you mean?"
The three men broke out in a cold sweat. One of them spoke in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. In the wizarding world, Muggles are ordinary people who don't know magic. We spoke without thinking and offended you. Please, have mercy on us." After he finished speaking, the other two also pleaded with him.
Ye Yu then asked, "So, what rewards will the royal family offer if they succeed, and what will happen if they fail?"
"If we succeed, we will be qualified to study at a high-level magic guild, as well as a great deal of wealth and honor. If we fail... we will be discarded and disgraced in the magic world."
"Since you look down on 'Muggles,' and you work for the royal family, does that mean there are magicians in the royal family?" Ye Yu asked.
"Yes, the eldest prince, Seker Percy, is not only the princess's son, but also a high-level magician. His talent is extremely rare, so the magic world values him highly."
Ye Yu nodded slightly, having made up her mind: "Why doesn't he come and steal this technology himself?"
"Lord Seker Percy is the pride of the royal family and has a noble status, so he usually doesn't handle such matters personally."
Ye Yu sneered: "He probably thinks it's shameful for a high-level mage to deal with some 'Muggles'."
She twirled her magic wand and smiled. "In that case, go back and tell the royal family that I'm willing to talk to them. However, I have my conditions."
The group was taken aback at first, then overjoyed and quickly nodded in agreement.
They stood up, staring longingly at the magic wand in Ye Yu's hand, hesitant to speak.
With a wave of her right hand, Ye Yu sent three magic wands flying lightly into the hands of the group.
She then stood up, opened the door, and said to Zhuo Jiao and the others, "Let them go. They're still useful."
After the security guards led the group out, Ye Yu and Xu Jia went to the office to sit down.
Ye Yu told Xu Jia what had happened, and Xu Jia said thoughtfully, "I see."
"Hmm? No wonder what?" Ye Yu said.
Previously, some people in higher positions had spoken on behalf of the royal family about this matter, and even put pressure on us. Fortunately, Commander Cui kept an eye on us and put in a good word for us, which is why they did what they did.
Ye Yu frowned slightly upon hearing this. As the company grows larger, there will be more and more constraints.
She thought of the island that she had wanted from the Hemao Group. If she moved the company there, neither China nor Japan could interfere, and the place would belong solely to her.
However, many problems will be exposed later, such as other countries eyeing the land covetously, whether she has the ability to protect this place, and the need to establish a new order in the new territory.
Ye Yu sighed, thinking: She was determined to cultivate immortality, but the mundane world was too busy, delaying her progress. However, she was reborn in this body, so she naturally took on this karma. She could only do her best to handle these worldly matters before she could completely let go.
She said to Xu Jia, "Cousin, let's not expand the company for now. I'll try to find a place with fewer constraints and move everything there."
Xu Jia was startled by Ye Yu's words. No matter where you move, you have to abide by the rules of that place, and you have to deal with interpersonal relationships and social interactions. What other place could it be? Suddenly, a place came to her mind, and she exclaimed, "Do you want to move to Africa?"
Ye Yu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then admired Xu Jia's imagination. She shook her head and told Xu Jia about her concerns and thoughts.
Xu Jia breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. After thinking it over carefully, she nodded and said, "You're right. I'll keep the company's size under control. But Xiaoyu, finding a place like this will probably be difficult, won't it?"
Ye Yu nodded: "It's a bit difficult, but not impossible. I'll be leaving soon. If you need anything, ask Cui Chengkai and the others for help."
Hearing that Ye Yu was about to leave again, Xu Jia said anxiously, "Why are you leaving again? You haven't even been home yet..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Yu interrupted her immediately, saying, "Don't tell my mom that I came, or she'll worry again."
After saying that, she gave Xu Jia some more pills, then slung her bag over her shoulder and walked out the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Lu Zhuofeng standing there. Ye Yu asked, "What do you need?"
Lu Zhuofeng pursed his lips and said with a gentle smile, "I've prepared a meal for you. Do you have time?"
When Xu Jia heard Lu Zhuofeng say that, a look of loneliness appeared in her eyes. She then suppressed the bitterness in her heart and echoed, "Xiaoyu, eat before you leave, or I'll tell Auntie."
Ye Yu understood their thoughts. She couldn't reciprocate Lu Zhuofeng's feelings, nor would she presume to interfere in their marriage and match him with her cousin. Everything depended on her cousin's abilities.
Ye Yu agreed, and the three of them went to the company's restaurant, which was used to receive distinguished guests. The table was full of exquisite dishes.
During the meal, Lu Zhuofeng restrained himself by serving Ye Yu one dish before stopping, his eyes filled with concern as he inquired about her condition. Xu Jia forced a smile and occasionally uttered a few lighthearted words, but the disappointment in her eyes was undeniable.
After the meal, Ye Yu prepared to leave.
Xu Jia stepped forward and hugged Ye Yu: "Xiao Yu, don't worry about what you're doing. I'll take care of the company."
Ye Yu patted her on the back, "Cousin, take good care of yourself and Mom. And keep going!" she said meaningfully.
"Don't worry, I'm sure I can win him over," Xu Jia replied.
After saying that, the two let go of each other. Ye Yu, carrying her bag, waved to them and turned to leave.
