Chapter 27: Semi-Immortal Scripture
"Have you finished watching my video?"

“…I’ve finished reading it.”

"Do you understand?"

"I see."

Zhao Xiansheng bent down respectfully and handed Xiao Yu's phone with both hands.

"Just understand."

Xiao Yu sat carelessly on the sofa, took the phone, glanced at the six secretaries standing in a row not far away, and said, "This is what happened. This is the situation. I came out this time just to promote traditional martial arts culture and to promote my Daoist sect. But you blocked my account without any reason. It doesn't make sense at all."

“……” Zhao Xiansheng lowered his head and remained silent.

"… '根本' is a Northeastern dialect, meaning 'fundamentally'." Xiao Yu explained.

"I know, I know. Master Xiao, don't worry, I will unblock your account immediately. And I will seriously deal with the relevant reviewers."

Without making any expression, Zhao Xiansheng changed the way he addressed Xiao Yu to "Master".

"It must be dealt with seriously!" The male assistant standing in the distance raised his hand: "The local information control in Xiangni City only requires the ban of the live broadcast room, but does not say that the account will be blocked as well. I will go down now and hold those who are responsible accountable and fire those who are responsible..."

Before he could finish his words, the male assistant immediately shut up when he saw Zhao Xiansheng turning around and giving him a cold look.

"Then let's talk about compensation." Xiao Yu changed his sitting position: "Tell me, what does your company say?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xiansheng was silent for a while: "Master Xiao, I am willing to pay personally to compensate you."

"Compensation for what?" Xiao Yu leaned forward, full of pressure: "Money?"

"...So what do you mean?" Zhao Xiansheng tried to stay calm.

"Hmm..." Xiao Yu changed the subject and looked around the spacious office hall: "Your company is pretty good."

"It's a great honor."

"It will be mine from now on."

“……?!” Zhao Xiansheng looked up in confusion.

"Compensation, talking about money is too vulgar." Standing up, Xiao Yu put his hands behind his back and strolled leisurely: "I don't care about money. I have no interest in money. I haven't even touched money. What's the point of you giving me money?"

"..." Zhao Xiansheng's expression began to change.

"Zhao Xiansheng." Xiao Yu suddenly turned around.

"Yes." Zhao Xiansheng was startled and looked at Xiao Yu: "You say."

"Next, I want you to do three things."

"You said, I will do my best to do it as well as I can."

"No one dares to fail to accomplish what I want to do."

Xiao Yu felt so awesome that he waved his hand domineeringly: "First, unblock my account. No need to say more. Second, you have to give my account the maximum amount of traffic. This includes all videos related to me from other bloggers, self-media, and news media. Maximize the traffic."

"Okay." Zhao Xiansheng said without hesitation: "This is all within my authority."

"I mean, all the traffic. The hundreds of millions of users on your platform will be notified of my incident. And they will be notified multiple times."

"...Okay." Zhao Xiansheng thought for half a second and nodded: "I'll arrange it."

"The third thing is that the live broadcast I will be doing in Los Angeles in two days will also require maximum traffic. Especially in my live broadcast room, the number of real online users must reach more than 10 million."

"it is good."

"I heard that your company is also very popular on foreign short video platforms. Please promote me as well. It would be best to arrange a few anchors to translate the whole story of my incident into multiple languages. Big push on Twitter."

"……it is good."

"Can you make the decision on these matters at the board level?"

"Yes." Zhao Xiansheng nodded.

"Okay! I like to be straightforward." Xiao Yu sat back on the sofa with satisfaction and crossed his legs: "Don't worry, I'm fair. Although it's compensation, you've done so much for me, I can't just say thank you."

"Master Xiao, you are too polite. This is what I should do."

"I plan to accept you into my sect. Are you interested?" Xiao Yu said shockingly.

"Ah?" Zhao Xiansheng was stunned, and then his brain went blank.

The six secretaries standing by the door were also startled.

"I've just demonstrated my strength to you. I can reach a force of 10,000 kilograms and go supersonic speeds. No need to talk about that. But do you know how old I am this year?"

"...No...I don't know." Zhao Xiansheng's breathing began to rapid.

Xiao Yu sighed: "I am already... 72 billion years old."

"..." "..."

"Well...well..." A female secretary raised her hand timidly: "Isn't the universe only 13.8 billion years old?"

Zhao Xian turned back fiercely: "Stop talking too much."

"Hmm." The female secretary was so scared that she quickly covered her mouth.

"Oh... the universe is only 13.8 billion years old. She is so young." Xiao Yu was silent for a while, and felt that his words were getting more and more exaggerated: "But what does this have to do with me being 721 years old?"

The secretaries at the scene: "..."

"Master Xiao, they just heard it wrong." Trying to calm his inner turmoil, Zhao Xiansheng bowed deeply, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead: "You...you said 721 years old, but they heard it as 72 billion."

"Is that so?" Xiao Yu nodded and looked at the secretaries: "Otherwise how can he be the president? You are just a group of secretaries."

The secretaries at the scene: "..."

"Okay, I won't play with you anymore."

Sitting up straight, Xiao Yu said in a serious tone: "When I come to the Dao Sect, it is not just about martial arts inheritance. Fitness, strengthening the body, and cultivating longevity are also part of our orthodox teachings."

"Yes..." Zhao Xiansheng felt his heart beating wildly with unprecedented strength.

"After joining my Daoist sect, you can also become like me, with an extraordinary physique and a lifespan calculated in sixty years."

"……Yes."

"It's not difficult for you, right?" Xiao Yu scratched his ear.

"No no!"

Zhao Xiansheng slid down to his knees without hesitation!
"thump!"

He bowed and said, "Master Xiao, I... I just... I just don't know what to say. I'm at a loss for words."

"Still calling me Master?"

"Master."

"That's right." Xiao Yu reached out and touched Zhao Xiansheng's head like he was touching a dog: "You are as smart as a thousand-year-old ginseng, how could you be at a loss for words... Is this a wig?"

Xiao Yu picked up a pile of wigs in surprise and accidentally.

"Yes, it is."

"Oh. That's okay." After sticking the wig back on his head, Xiao Yu cleared his throat and said, "Practice the secret mental method of my Dao Sect, and your hair will grow out soon."

"…I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Master."

"Zhao Xiansheng."

"Here!" Zhao Xiansheng was alert.

"On behalf of the Wendao Sect, I formally accept you as an inner disciple. You have the right to mobilize all the outer disciples of the Wendao Sect and practice the sect's secret mental method... um... uh... Half-Immortal Sutra." Xiao Yu made up stories quickly.

"Yes!"

"As for you." Xiao Yu turned his head and looked at the seven stunned secretaries beside him: "As the saying goes, a thief never leaves empty-handed, a law is not easily passed on, ten thousand taels of silver cannot sell the Tao, and a thousand gold cannot buy a moment of time. Meeting here is also an opportunity for you. You will also be accepted as my disciples of the Dao Sect. But you will be an outer disciple."

“……” The seven secretaries were stunned.

“Why don’t you kneel down and thank me?!” Zhao Xiansheng turned around and shouted.

“Kneel…kneel…kneel?” The leading female secretary was at a loss.

The other six people knelt down on the spot and said almost in unison: "Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, Master!" The leading female secretary immediately "plopped" and chose to follow the crowd...

"You don't have to call me that." Xiao Yu waved his hand: "Outer sect disciple, just call me senior."

"Master, don't worry." Zhao Xiansheng narrowed his eyes and said, "I will make sure they keep their mouths shut about what happened today. It will definitely not be leaked."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but look Zhao Xiansheng up and down.

It was not until the other party was almost scared that he said in a faint voice: "...You are so smart, it's a bit outrageous."

"Master, thank you for your praise."

"Since it's a generous reward, please convert the 'excess' amount into cash for me. Deposit it into my account."

"……OK."
