Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest
Chapter 875 - 875 76 Never Been Happy_3

Chapter 875: Chapter 76 Never Been Happy_3 Chapter 875: Chapter 76 Never Been Happy_3 “That has to be anxiety.” Liu Longtao nodded solemnly and then quietly transmitted his voice to Yan Yu, “The higher-ups are considering a change of personnel.”

“Change of personnel?” Yan Yu frowned, “When?”

“I don’t know yet.” Liu Longtao sighed, “Someone is planning to swap her out and bring in Cai Qianlong to optimize the team structure.”

“Change generals in the middle of the battle? Are they not afraid of provoking our collective discontent?” Yan Yu was silent for a moment, then a spark of realization flashed in his mind, “What team optimization, it’s all about letting little Cai come in to leech off the Spiritual Energy!”

“The father-in-law is making his move.” Liu Longtao chuckled, “Ye Jun lacks background and doesn’t stand out in strength. She was able to join the Dragon Soar Team because the three Sword Immortals and the Magic Cultivator needed to add more tactical space for error tolerance.”

“Now that everyone has grown stronger, we don’t need this dedicated defender anymore.” Yan Yu sneered coldly too, “Might as well have Cai Qianlong come in to strengthen the team, right?”

“That’s the official statement.” Liu Longtao transmitted his voice, “But you’ve guessed the actual reason. Just last night, my old man came to ask for my opinion.”

“What did you say?” Yan Yu asked.

“Nonsense, of course, I agreed.” Liu Longtao spoke as if it were obvious.

“You agreed my ass!” Yan Yu immediately retorted in a cold tone, “Lao Liu, Ye Jun has slaved for the team, and when push comes to shove, she gets kicked out so that a newcomer can enjoy the fruits of her labor. Isn’t that inappropriate? Aren’t you afraid that one day you’ll be executed hanging from the city walls for such evil deeds?”

“Bullshit, am I that kind of person?” Liu Longtao argued, “I’m considering your best interests, Old Yan!”

“How does it end up being my fault again?”

“If I speak out against it, the favor will be on me.” Liu Longtao winked at him, “But if I agree first, make Ye Jun think the situation is hopeless and she is in despair, then you step in as Lu Country’s Sword Bearer to plead rightfully and make the Privy Council rescind the order… Eh! Wouldn’t she owe you a favor then? Maybe offer herself in return?”

Yan Yu was stunned, speechless for a while before saying:

“How despicable! Lao Liu, every time I think I have seen your limit, but Every time it proves that I underestimated the wickedness of human nature!”

“What has this to do with the wickedness of human nature!” Liu Longtao protested, “I’m facilitating a good deed! She has always liked you but never dared to speak up. What’s wrong with me giving a little push from behind?”

“How is playing with someone’s emotions not an evil of human nature?” Yan Yu sneered coldly.

“No! I’m just making a suggestion, it’s up to you to listen.” Liu Longtao sneered back, “If you have such a moral qualm and find it dirty, then you don’t have to speak. Just let Ye Jun get kicked out, makes it easy! Shows how pure and untainted you are, avoiding women altogether.”

Yan Yu fell silent for a long while, then transmitted:

“I do not deliberately use underhanded methods to win Ye Jun’s favor. I simply can’t stand to see those doing hard work within the system go unrewarded. This corruption must be stopped!”

“Exactly!” Liu Longtao clapped his hands and laughed, “That’s the spirit!”

“What spirit?” Ye Jun asked from behind.

Both men’s bodies jolted, fearing that the transmission had been heard by Ye Jun… but what was there to scare themselves with? How could a private transmission be overheard?

“What’s up?” Liu Longtao hurriedly asked.

“We have all finished our Breathing Exercises.” Ye Jun pointed to the distance, “Yan Yu, go relive Ai Lu so he can go Cultivate with Lao Liu.”

“Okay, okay, I, Old Yan, am on my way!” In an attempt to cover up his embarrassment, Yan Yu immediately rode the sword light and flew out to replace Ai Lu, drawing away the formation’s attacks.

Ye Jun watched Yan Yu leave, then suspiciously stared at Liu Longtao and asked:

“Were you talking about me just now?”

“No.” Liu Longtao feigned ignorance, “Why do you ask?”

“The two of you started acting all guilty when you saw me,” Ye Jun said, “like those country kids caught stealing chickens or dogs by the adults.”

“You got it all wrong.” Liu Longtao denied, “Old Yan insisted on asking me to transfer you to his team, urging me to let go. Alas, he wouldn’t listen!”

“Okay then.” Ye Jun was silent for a while, then said, “Anyway, I have no objections.”

“Ye Jun, I don’t like hearing that.” Liu Longtao suddenly felt a subtle displeasure, “Haven’t we treated you well in the team? And now you’re so eager to move to Old Yan’s side?”

“Are you serious?” Ye Jun showed a puzzled look, speaking irritably, “Then let me tell you this: I’ve never felt happy in the Dragon Cavalry Team.”

“Not even once.”
