Chapter 105 - The New Leader (2/2)

Mu Hui asked, “Where did you take the ninth master?”

The man was stunned. He reacted and immediately said, “You’re still asking me? You’re the one who should hand him over!”

Mu Hui’s eyes were filled with confusion as she said, “The ninth master is missing. He’s not with us.”

The man’s face was filled with disbelief. He asked, “You lost him? Are you joking?”

Before he could finish his sentence, Mu Hui threw a letter at him and said, “Take a look at this letter.”

The letter struck the man’s chest accurately.

He grabbed it and quickly read it. When he saw the word ‘manager’, his pupils constricted and he clenched the letter in his hand tightly.

“We were finally discovered by the manager…”

He finally realized what the ninth master’s intention was. He wanted Mu Hui to become their new leader.

The corner of the man’s mouth twitched slightly. He felt a little unhappy as he looked up at Mu Hui.

Mu Hui looked at his contemptuous gaze and the corners of her mouth curled up.

“Do you believe me now? Did you rescue the ninth master?”

“Of course not! The people from the capital must have taken him away!”

The man seemed extremely humiliated, but in the end, he still followed the ninth master’s orders and regarded Mu Hui as his new leader.

“Hello, my name is Miao Yi. The ninth master said that you will be the highest-ranking leader of our organization from now on. You will lead us to continue to clean up those outsiders who have entered the book. They are known as book-piercers.”

Mu Hui was not the least bit interested in the leader position and expressed her stance, “Thank you. I will not be the leader, and I will not get rid of the other book-piercers.“

Miao Yi was very confused and asked, “Why? Those weak and trashy cannon fodders are just occupying our living space. If we don’t get rid of them, this space will collapse. There’s no need to pity those trash.”

Mu Hui replied, “I can’t just get rid of them for my own life because they’re exactly like me. They’re all living beings. Everyone has the right to live.”

The smile on Miao Yi’s face froze. He continued to insist, “But there’s no reason for the book-piercers to continue flooding the place. If that happens, no one will be able to survive.”

Mu Hui’s words were cold as she said, “I’ve already said that I won’t live in such a way that deprives other book-piercers of their lives.”

Miao Yi was unhappy as he said, “You’re really stubborn. I think that you’ll definitely go back on your words when the time comes.”

Mu Hui replied coldly, “That’s impossible.”

In the next moment, she heard steady footsteps approaching them from a corner not far away.

Mu Hui stepped forward and took a quick look. The person in the distance looked very familiar.

It was Fu Siye.

Mu Hui immediately turned around and said to Miao Yi, “You should go. Leave this place.”

Miao Yi also heard the commotion. He immediately turned around and left quickly.

Mu Hui frowned as she watch Miao Yi disappear before her eyes.
