Alliance Base, Infinite Group Base Room.

This is a castle-like, vast base room, of an unknown scale.

It can accommodate a million mercenaries and three million war robots; one can imagine how magnificent this base is.

"Woman, hurry up and take me to find the Master! I can feel he's not far from me."

Inside a combat room in the base, Bai Jingyi held a small beast about the size of a kitten in her arms. It kept clamoring to see its master.

"Who is your master?"

Bai Jingyi was the only one here; the others were exploring the base room.

As Bai Jingyi's evolution level increased, she also seemed to grow younger.

"You don't know who my master is? Are you kidding? Of course, it's your boss!"

Xiaoyao jumped onto the table, looking adorably at Bai Jingyi, full of speechlessness.

"What did you say? President Gu is not dead?"

Hearing this, Bai Jingyi immediately became spirited, looking excitedly at the adorable little beast on the table.

"What kind of situation is this? The master isn't dead, and you guys didn't know?" Xiaoyao was stunned.

"Quick, show us the way, let's go see President Gu!"

Bai Jingyi, unable to contain her excitement, eagerly picked Xiaoyao up and urged it to guide the way.

"Let's go!!"

Leaving the combat room, Xiaoyao pointed its paw towards the central building within the base, saying, "I can sense that the master is at the top floor of that building."

Following its paw, Bai Jingyi's beautiful eyes revealed a glimmer of light, "Are you sure?"

On the top floor of the central building.

There are very few within Infinite Group who could work up there.

"Come on, stop dawdling!"

Xiaoyao urged.

"Alright!"

Bai Jingyi took a deep breath and quickly headed towards the central building.

Entering the lobby of the central building and stepping into the elevator, Bai Jingyi pressed the button for the top.

Ding! You do not have access to the top floor of the central building.

The elevator's light screen scanned, and a cold electronic voice sounded.

Helpless, Bai Jingyi left the elevator with Xiaoyao in her arms and approached the counter, saying to the receptionist inside, "Hello, I have an urgent matter and need to meet with President Xing. This is of great importance, and I earnestly request you to report it upstairs."

"Alright, I can report it for you, but whether President Xing will meet you depends on your luck."

The receptionist did not make things difficult for her and promised to report the matter.

This requires layer upon layer of reporting and approval; meeting with the head of a large group is not easy, and it might be ignored along the way.

"Minister Liekong, hello!!"

At that moment, a tall and heroic middle-aged man strode in from the outside of the building.

The receptionists quickly greeted him.

"Did you say the boss is back, and is he free now?"

Liekong Wu inquired.

The receptionist respectfully said, "The boss is back, but the president of Celestial Moon Group just arrived, so they might be in discussions."

"Understood."

Liekong Wu nodded and stepped into the elevator.

Seeing this, Bai Jingyi quickly followed in. She politely said to Liekong Wu, "Hello, I'm an old friend of President Xing. Could you take me to see him, please? Thank you!"

"President Xing's old friend?"

Liekong Wu looked at her with a skeptical glint in his eyes. Could such a small Earth Demon (Celestial Martial Level) be an old friend of President Xing?

"Kid, who are you looking down upon?"

Finding it so hard to see the master, Xiaoyao was displeased and showcased a hint of the Saint's Will.

Liekong Wu immediately tensed up, giving Xiaoyao and Bai Jingyi a deep look. "My apologies, then let's go see President Xing together!"

With that, he pressed the button for the top floor.

On reaching the top floor, Liekong Wu led Bai Jingyi to wait in the reception hall for the president.

"The master is in that office; why not just go in directly?" Xiaoyao pointed at the president's office, displeased.

Seeing it point towards the president's office, Bai Jingyi's heart slightly trembled.

If the little beast in her arms recognized her, then they must come from the same place.

Moreover, when she mentioned President Gu earlier, the little beast did not refute, which already indicated that the person in that office was Gu Qijue.

"The boss is talking with the president of Celestial Moon Group, let's wait a bit!" Liekong Wu was very wary of the little beast in Bai Jingyi's arms.

But this wait lasted for several hours.

Only then did Ji Yinyue come out from inside.

A hint of a satisfied smile was on her face.

"Let's go!"

Seeing this, Liekong Wu then led them over.

Knocking, he asked, "Boss, do you have a moment?"

"Come in!"

A moment later, Gu Qijue's attractive and resonant voice came through.

Hearing this, only then did Liekong Wu dare to push the door open.

Bai Jingyi followed behind.

In front of the desk, Gu Qijue had already shed his traditional attire and long hair, dressed in a custom black suit with monochrome hair at a 3:7 parting falling over his eyes.

"Awoo! Master, we've finally met again."

With a swoosh, Xiaoyao darted from Bai Jingyi's arms towards Gu Qijue.

Seeing this, Gu Qijue raised a hand, grabbed the tuft on its head, and lightly flicked its head, smiling lightly, "From the moment you entered the Infinite Group Base Room, I knew you were here. Not bad, you're at Tier Two Demon Saint."

"Of course, Master, you're amazing, at Tier Three Demon Saint now. If you hadn't devoured me back then, I certainly wouldn't have reached your level; we've complemented each other."

Xiaoyao joyfully jumped onto Gu Qijue's shoulder.

It wasn't wrong.

Theoretically, Gu Qijue wasn't just a Black Dragon.

He was entirely an anomaly; his life level far surpassed that of a real Black Dragon.

Even the strongest Black Dragon could at most become a Demigod.

But Gu Qijue's potential was far beyond that.

"Gu... President Gu!!"

Not far off, Bai Jingyi, her eyes slightly red, stared at Gu Qijue.

"We'll discuss our matter later."

Gu Qijue glanced at her and then his gaze shifted to Liekong Wu, "Minister Liekong, what's the matter?"

"Boss, I... I made a mistake, accidentally killed a Half-Saint of the Alliance..." Liekong Wu said, bitterly.

Gu Qijue lowered his eyes slightly, "If he's dead, so be it. If he was inferior, he deserved to die. I'd like to see if the Alliance dares to pursue it."

Liekong Wu bowed, "Thank you, boss. If the Alliance insists, I'm willing to trade my life for a life."

"Rest assured, you are now a Half-Saint. Take this Demon Power Crystal, it has a thirty percent chance of letting you advance to a Tier Two Demon Saint without side effects."

Gu Qijue casually tossed him a Demon Power Crystal Core, "Now, go."

Hearing this, Liekong Wu took the Demon Power Crystal Core, bowed deeply to Gu Qijue, "Thank you, boss!!"

Then, he exited the office.

Gu Qijue looked at the extremely excited Bai Jingyi and smiled lightly, "Long time no see!"

"President Gu, have you been avoiding acknowledging us over some concerns?!"

Bai Jingyi looked at the both unfamiliar and familiar Gu Qijue.

Gu Qijue nodded slightly, "There were indeed concerns. Your memories were examined by the three old immortals of the Alliance, and I couldn't take the risk. Now that you know my identity, stay and be my secretary. I plan to request personnel from Emperor Academy, but for now, don't reveal this to Ji Shang and the others."

"Alright! After knowing it's you, President Gu, I didn't want to go back anyway. I'm not highly regarded at the Emperor Academy, so there shouldn't be an issue."

Hearing that Gu Qijue wanted her to stay as a secretary, Bai Jingyi finally let her heart rest, relieved that he wouldn't ask her to leave.
