Chen Donglai was on the verge of swearing at what Yin Sun had said, for threatening him and at the same time asking him to go to Lieutenant Shen Bu for an explanation. This was an insult to his position as a special envoy.
Yin Sun, however, didn't seem to mind. He maintained his gentleman demeanor, and smiled at them. ”It looks like Envoy Chen really does have a short temper!”
Chen Donglai sneered and said, ”Master Yin, please pay attention to your identity. If we weren't brothers from the same sect, I wouldn't have listened to you and let my brother suffer such humiliation. Now that you dare to threaten us, do you believe that I can revoke your position as the special envoy right now?”
”Even if you can abrogate me as an envoy, you should still be able to listen to me, right?”
Chen Donglai smiled coldly and waved his hand, ”Quickly finish your farts!”
Yin Sun chuckled. ”I wonder if the emissary knows of the presence of the tiller outside the inner and outer altar?”
Chen Donglai's face was slightly sunken as he said, ”What do you mean by that? Don't tell me that Lieutenant Shen Bu is from the Division Chief?”
Yin Sun chuckled. ”That's right, Envoy Chen is a smart man. Just a guess and you'll get it.”
Chen Donglai sneered, ”Do you think I should believe you? Who can say that you didn't say these words in order to scheme against us again, to let us once again act as your lackeys for you? Haha, Master Yin, don't treat everyone like a monkey, alright? ”
”That's why I told you to ask Elder Shen for confirmation!”
Chen Donglai laughed and said, ”That's simply ridiculous. How could he be a little elder under you when he's the chief pilot? And you want me to listen to your commands? ”
”It looks like Special Envoy Chen doesn't know much about the ways of the upper echelons of our sect,” he said with a smile.
Chen Donglai frowned. He suddenly remembered that this person had been sent down from above to be the host of the altar. He couldn't help but think, ”It looks like I've underestimated this person!” After all, he was one of the seven prized disciples of the Sect Leader in the past, and his understanding of the higher ups of the sect was deeper than ours.
”Hehe,” he said sincerely. ”How do you think the higher-ups are supposed to know what's going on with us?”
Chen Donglai's frown deepened as he said, ”Are you saying that a person like Lieutenant Shen Bu is sent by the higher-ups?” Dark... A sneak attack? ”
Yin Sun nodded with a smile. ”I told you Envoy Chen is a man of his word. He understood everything just by looking at it. Some things are as simple as that.”
Chen Donglai smiled embarrassedly and said, ”Heh, how could I possibly have the same understanding as you, Great Master Yin?”
Yin Sun smiled. ”In fact, that's because Envoy Chen hasn't had any contact with the men and affairs assigned to him. As long as he has contact with them, he wouldn't be so unprepared. I can't blame you for that.”
Chen Donglai looked even more uncomfortable. ”So what did Brother Yin mean by that?” he asked. Could it be that the request to capture Xiao Li's family was made by the authorities? ”
Yin Sun's face hardened. ”That's right. These are some of the secrets that the higher-ups had requested. That's why Elder Shen acted so rashly and captured them.” Originally, I should have immediately sent him to the headquarters, but Elder Shen felt that this Xiao Li wasn't too much of a threat, so he brought him directly to the main altar. Firstly, he came here to work for me for over a year, and secondly, he wanted to use the perfect mechanism here to capture Xiao Li. However, it seems like Elder Shen completely miscalculated the strength of the enemy, to the point that even I, the head of Earth Kun, was caught up in this incident. The reason why I'm telling you the truth is because I want to ask for your help, and also because I want to give you a chance to do a meritorious service. If you all can make use of this opportunity to make a name for yourselves, it will be of great benefit to your advancement! ”
Chen Donglai thought for a moment. He thought, ”I'm afraid that the main reason why this fellow told the truth is because he found out that the enemy's strength is beyond his control and wants to borrow our strength.” If the rest of us were unaware of this, we could still act as though we were not part of our duties and ignore this matter. But now Yin Sun is confessing to these people that if he did not work for this mission, he would be dragged into this mess by the end of the day. No wonder this fellow had previously said that he couldn't afford to offend Ling Qingyun, but in order to prevent others from being unhappy, he would probably have to provoke Ling Qingyun as well. F * ck, what the f * ck was this? It seemed like his troubles were not over yet! If I knew things would turn out like this, I wouldn't have taken this job. Yin Sun was such a scumbag that even if he didn't want to, he had to do it now. He was always being plotted against, and he couldn't retort. What the hell was going on?
Although Chen Donglai cursed Yin Sungong's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart, he didn't dare to be tough with his words. He said helplessly, ”Then let's go meet Elder Shen first and see what he has to say.”
Yin Sun smiled. ”Naturally. We should go see Elder Shen.” ”Let's go, I'll lead the way.”
Chen turned back to discuss the matter with Xue Chao, Zhang Yi, and Ruan Jinhui. They probably hadn't expected Yin Sun-fu to leave anything like that behind, so they naturally thought it over. The wounds of Zhang Yi and Ruan Jinhui were already wrapped up. They were only superficial wounds, and the key point was that they were pierced through by Ling Qingyun's acupoints. However, their inner strength was deep enough. The six people on the other side were slightly weaker and were still recovering.
Yin Sun didn't rush them. He had already sent his men to keep up with Ling Qingyun and his men. Although he let his men go after them, he knew who they were and that they wouldn't fight to the death. They were probably just sipping from the distance, but with these people following him, it would be easy for him to find them.
Chen Donglai knew that he shouldn't delay too much. After a few words of discussion, he turned to Yin Sun and said, ”Let's go!”
Yin Sun immediately led Chen Donglai and Xue Ji to the recuperation room of Lieutenant Shen Bu. Ensign Shen Bu had already woken up by the time he entered the room. He saw Yin Sun's pale face flush with red. ”Ling Qingyun … that fellow's sword intent is too strong. You couldn't have any control over it, and that fellow plotted against you, severely wounding you as soon as you entered.”
