Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

Ye Yu only told He Maochuanjie that she would consider it, and then left, ignoring everyone else.

She walked out the door, intending to call Cui Chengkai to tell him not to worry, as Hemao had clearly already found out her background, and there was no point in trying to hide it anymore.

Before the call could even be made, I received a call from my cousin Xu Jia: "The British royal family contacted the company, saying they wanted to acquire our core beauty and anti-aging technology. I disagreed, and they actually tried to steal it. Luckily, Sister Zhuo Jiao discovered it. However, Sister Zhuo Jiao said those people's moves were strange; they were all holding sticks as weapons, chanting incantations as they attacked. But they were no match for Sister Zhuo Jiao and her group, and they've already been captured."

Ye Yu frowned slightly upon hearing this. These alien races actually dared to plot against the company; they were truly ignorant of their own limitations.

Judging from their attack methods, they must be superhumans. Zhuo Jiao and the others are martial artists, and they haven't been out for long. They haven't fought against superhumans yet, so it's normal that they don't know.

She said to Xu Jia, "Cousin, I've finished taking care of things here. I'll ask her in person when I get back."

Ye Yu hung up the phone. Her initial reasons for starting the company were twofold: first, to improve her family's life, and second, to help her solve some resource problems. However, she didn't expect some short-sighted people to have designs on the company. It seems she needs to deal with this carefully, otherwise, she'll face many small troubles in the future.

She rushed back to the company without stopping, and as soon as she got off the plane, she saw Yinling waiting at the exit.

“Sister Ye Yu,” Yinling said happily.

Ye Yu looked Yin Ling up and down. The girl had changed a lot. She was dressed very fashionably and had completely integrated into modern society.

Ye Yu glanced at the car and asked, "Are you here to pick me up today?"

"Yes! I've already got my driver's license, and I'm very good at it, so don't worry." Yinling said confidently.

Ye Yu got into the passenger seat and said to her, "Let's go, Master Yinling."

The journey was smooth.

As soon as Ye Yu joined the company, she noticed that there were quite a few changes. Another piece of land in the surrounding area had been bought, and it looked like an office building was going to be built there.

As soon as I entered the building, I saw a group of people in suits and ties mixed with people in white coats at the entrance. Standing at the front were Xu Jia, Lu Zhuofeng and others.

Ye Yu stared blankly at the scene for a moment, then asked Yinling, "What's going on?"

"You, our big boss, are always elusive. Now that the company is expanding so much, many people haven't even met you yet. That's why President Xu has brought everyone to welcome you," Yinling said with a smile.

Ye Yu felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this. She had originally intended to keep a low profile, letting her cousins ​​handle the company's affairs while she simply remained a hands-off manager.

Xu Jia could tell what Ye Yu was thinking just by looking at her expression. She took a few steps forward, pulled Ye Yu aside, and said to everyone, "This is Ye Yu, the chairman of our group."

A sudden burst of applause startled Ye Yu, causing her to clench her fists tightly before relaxing her expression instantly.

After realizing what she had said, she was both amused and exasperated, and unsure of what to say. So she said, "I appreciate everyone's enthusiasm. Thank you all for your hard work for the company. This month, everyone will receive double pay as a bonus. Thank you all."

After she finished speaking, the applause grew even louder.

This time, Xu Jia was both amused and exasperated: "You, the big boss, are really generous. I think everyone will be eager for you to come back and welcome you every time."

"Cousin, please let me go. I really don't know what to say. Please don't do this again." Ye Yu said with a wry smile.

"Haha, alright, I'll let you off this time," Xu Jia laughed.

Then he told everyone to disperse and return to their respective posts.

Then Xu Jia led Ye Yu into the elevator, and after walking for quite a while, they arrived at an interrogation room. There they saw three foreigners who were tied up, muttering things like "Muggle" and "Let them go."

Ye Yu had taught herself English while in school, so she could understand what they were saying.

Zhuo Jiao stepped forward and said, "President Ye, after we captured these people, they only confessed that they were helping the British royal family. They wouldn't say anything else, and their attack methods were very strange."

Ye Yu said to Zhuo Jiao, "Sister Zhuo, just call me Ye Yu, don't be so polite."

She dismissed everyone, then walked over and sat on the sofa. She scanned them with her divine sense. These people were neither superhumans nor martial artists, but they still had energy fluctuations around them.

Ye Yu calmly withdrew his divine sense and said to the group, "Speak, why did you come here to steal my company's secrets? Tell the truth and I may spare your lives."

One of the men scoffed, “You wretched Muggles from the East, if you offend us, your company will never be able to establish itself in Britain.”

Ye Yu slightly raised her fingertip, and a cluster of flames suddenly appeared above her fingernail, making the chattering group seem to have their throats choked.

They found the woman before them even more terrifying than the women who had captured them. Those women, at least, used Chinese martial arts, but this woman could conjure flames without a magic wand—was she a high-level magician?

Ye Yu said, "I heard you can also turn fireballs and mounds of earth? But you need a stick to do it?"

One of them immediately retorted, "That's not a stick, that's a magic wand!"

"A magic wand?" Ye Yu raised her eyebrows slightly; it was the first time she had ever heard of such a magical artifact.

She asked Zhuo Jiao to bring over the magic wands of the others, and then examined them carefully.

There are many materials used to make magic wands. Ye Yu could tell that some of these magic wands were made of grapevines with fire element stones embedded in the core, and he could feel the fluctuations of fire energy; some were made of ebony, and he could feel fire and earth; and some were made of willow wood, and he could feel water.

She tried channeling her spiritual energy into it, and a light actually flickered, but it didn't last more than two seconds before the magic wand cracked.

The owner of the magic wand was heartbroken upon seeing it, exclaiming that it was the magic wand most suited to him.

Ye Yu ignored his shouting and thought to herself, "It seems this magic wand can resonate with spiritual energy, making it similar to a magical artifact. Perhaps the different materials used in its construction result in different levels of power."

She then asked the foreigners, "How do you use this magic wand?"

At first, the group was stubborn and refused to talk, but under the powerful pressure released by Ye Yu, some of them finally couldn't withstand it and began to confess.

It turns out that magic wands need to be used with specific incantations and guided by intention to exert magic in order to work. Without a magic wand, attacks cannot be launched. Top magicians can do without magic wands, but the power will be much weaker.

Ye Yu instructed one of the people to pick up his magic wand and attack her.

After the magician received the magic wand, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. He quickly chanted a spell, and the magic wand in his hand shone brightly, shooting a pillar of fire towards Ye Yu.

He then quickly untied the ropes binding the other two.

Ye Yu smiled slightly and calmly raised her hand. A spiritual energy barrier instantly appeared, blocking the pillar of fire. The pillar of fire crashed into the barrier, making crackling sounds, but it could not advance even an inch.

When the magician's first attack failed, his eyes became even more crazed, and he cast several more spells in succession.

These spells were like ants trying to shake a tree; they posed no threat to Ye Yu whatsoever.

After Ye Yu roughly understood what magic was, he gently waved his right hand, and a wave of azure spiritual energy swept towards the magicians.

They felt as if their bodies were bound by an invisible force, unable to move, and their faces showed expressions of terror.
