645 Bite the Hand That Saved Him!

Yan Qin ought to have rejected the Master immediately, right?

However, he did not. He listened carefully and agreed without hesitation.

“Didn’t you hear it? Master ordered it,” Yan Qin said, looking at him with some astonishment.

When the Master was talking to them, the Mistress was not around. How could Ye Chengzong even think of her? It was clear that Ye Chengzong’s heart had changed more than a little.

In fact, Yan Qin hoped that this was the Mistress’s idea. At the very least, it would prove that no one could bully her in Camp Zhan Yun, so the Master did not have to worry.

However, he genuinely did not know if the Mistress had any part to play in this new order.

“Chengzong, I’m only the temporary captain. As long as you perform well, the captaincy will still be yours in the future,” he said.

“Haha.” Ye Chengzong chuckled.

Although he was very concerned about his position as the captain, he could not say that out loud.

“I don’t care if I’m the captain or not. We’re all guardians. I’ll be satisfied as long as we can kill demonic beasts and defend against foreign enemies. It’s just… I didn’t expect Master to appoint you as the replacement captain,” he explained.

Yan Qin’s expression turned cold as he looked at Ye Chengzong strangely.

Ye Chengzong always talked to him like this, but he never cared. Now that he had a different opinion of him, he actually felt that Ye Chengzong’s words had another meaning.

Was he trying to sow discord between himself and the Master?

He hoped he was overthinking it.

“Perhaps I’m the most free in this camp. Yan Nuo and Yan Jin are by the Mistress’ side, but I can go anywhere,” he explained with a smile.

“Is that so?” Ye Chengzong looked at Yan Qin meaningfully.

“Then maybe it’s because she’s more familiar with Yan Nuo and the others. Otherwise, you can go to her too.”

Yan Qin was speechless.

His thoughts were mere assumptions just moments ago, but he could tell now.

Ye Chengzong wants to sow discord not only between me and Master, but also between me, Mistress, and Yan Nuo. He’s really bold!

I really don’t know when Ye Chengzong changed completely. Did it begin when Ming Fucheng took Ye Chenglin away?

That shouldn’t be the case. Personalities do not change overnight. I must have never noticed it before.

He continued to smile and explain, “Of course. Yan Nuo has been with Master and Mistress for a longer time.”

As for Yan Jin, he had always been Yan Nuo’s partner. Nobody would think twice about them working together.

He reminded Ye Chengzong, “We’re going to the swamp soon. Do you need to prepare anything? You won’t be able to return to the camp for the next few days. It’s more dangerous there. You have to make some preparations, right?”

“You’re right. I have to prepare something,” Ye Chengzong replied calmly, but he snorted internally.

If I’m still the captain, I can return whenever I want.

Yan Qin just became captain, but he’s already suppressing me, telling me I’m no longer the captain while asserting his captaincy?

I saved Yan Qin in vain! I didn’t expect Yan Qin to bite the hand that saved him!

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back and prepare.”
