Chapter 159 - 157: Tenfold Comprehension
"President Lord, what is the deal?" Xiao Ye asked without a change in expression.
Seeing this, a hint of admiration appeared on Ji Hong’s face.
Qingming Commerce is a big commerce guild in Black Dragon Country, and even some sect disciples would be tempted by its resources.
Yet Xiao Ye was able to stay clear-headed and undisturbed in the face of such temptation, which is not something an ordinary person could do.
"You should know that in Red Sun City, besides our Qingming, there are two other commerce guilds of similar scale," Ji Hong said slowly.
"The three big commerce guilds compete with each other. In order to compete for the operating rights in other county cities of Black Dragon Country, conflicts often arise with heavy casualties."
"Therefore, the three commerce guilds have set a rule. Every five years, there will be a martial battle. The guild that wins will obtain the operating rights for five years. This is also the main reason why I am recruiting guest elders everywhere."
"I see." Xiao Ye nodded, understanding that the deal Ji Hong wanted to make with him was related to the martial battle with the three big commerce guilds.
Sure enough, Ji Hong continued, "A year ago, Gao Feng Commerce enlisted a young talent from the Hidden Dragon List as a guest elder through some means. With only three months left to the guild martial battle, I was almost in despair, but luckily you appeared."
Ji Hong said this, staring intently at Xiao Ye.
