Ji Yu couldn't help rolling his eyes as he watched his cousin gulp down three large bowls of rice.
My cousin spoke so nicely, but it was obvious that he just wanted to drink.
Thinking of this, he picked up the full wine bowl in front of him and said, "Fairy Chen...Fairy Chen, I want to toast you too!"
After saying that, Ji Yu lowered his head and took a sip, and couldn't help but be amazed.
Hiss, so spicy!
He covered his mouth to savor the taste for a moment, and couldn't help but take another sip.
"I also toast to the two gentlemen."
Xiang Sheng poured himself four bowls in a row and drank them without changing his expression.
Ji Qingya watched for a moment, and suddenly said: "Fairy Chen's drinking is not so much about returning the wine, but rather about using wine to drown her sorrows.
It's not pleasant to keep sadness inside.
Ji Yu and I are both men, and we don't understand the grudges between you women, but if Fairy Chen is willing to talk, we are willing to listen."
Xiang Sheng listened, shook his head and smiled.
This kid hasn't made much progress, but he speaks better than Qina.
"It wasn't a big deal between me and Chief Ling. It was probably because of this time of danger that she saw through me.
It's understandable that she turned against me because of her true feelings. I felt guilty and didn't argue with her."
Having said this, Xiang Sheng waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. I'm sure Master Qing is also curious about why the Ye Camp has so few people. I have some guesses here. I wonder if Master Qing would like to listen to them?"
Ji Qingya wanted to know what Captain Ling saw clearly about Chen Xiang at this moment, but since it touched the root of her sadness, Chen Xiang was obviously unwilling to continue.
He had no choice but to give up the idea of exploring and asked, "Of course I am willing. What are your guesses, Fairy Shen?"
"From what I know, the Ye Camp has been under constant suppression for years, and the monthly salary of the female immortals in the camp is 30% less than that of other camps. The morale of the army has long been unstable.
The danger encountered during this trip to the defense line was undoubtedly the last straw.”
Having said that, Xiang Sheng lowered his eyes and snapped his fingers, causing the wine bowl to shatter.
"The Moon Camp, which once dominated the Red and Green Armies, is likely to fall apart like this bowl."
…
"Fall apart? I'm entrusting the Moon Camp to you. Is this your explanation to me?"
From the quiet courtyard of the monastery, there was a pleasant and cold sound like the collision of jade.
Ye Chuxue was kneeling on one knee outside a bead curtain. When she heard this, she looked ashamed and lowered her head even lower.
"I am incompetent, and I beg for punishment!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the voice behind the beaded curtain grew even colder, "Do you also want to leave me like them?"
Ye Chuxue immediately shook her head, "You gave me this life, and I will never abandon you.
But it was really difficult for my subordinates to fight against a large number of enemies with a small number of people.
This time I was too busy to escort the Forbidden Immortal Team, which resulted in heavy losses to the Moon Camp. I have failed to live up to your trust.
If you have a suitable candidate, I am willing to step down and let the wiser take on this important task."
Hearing this, the being behind the bead curtain finally laughed.
"If there was a suitable candidate, I would have changed him long ago. Do I need you to tell me?
Come on, come in and talk."
"yes."
Ye Chuxue stood up and walked through the beaded curtain, and saw a woman in white gauze standing in front of a blank drawing board.
She lowered her eyes and stepped forward to salute: "Ye Chuxue, I pay my respects to the commander."
The woman in white turned around, revealing a naturally beautiful face. The fiery divine pattern between her eyebrows added to her beauty.
This person is none other than the current leader of the Red and Green Army, Shangguan Ning!
"Get up."
Shangguan Ning put down his brush, walked to the side and sat down. "How many people are left in the Moon Camp now?"
Ye Chuxue's face was bitter, "Only 300 people."
"Only three hundred left..."
Shangguan Ning's eyes showed a hint of coldness:
"Back then, the name Yueying was not retained, and now we've taken a step back and changed it to Yeying. Are we actually going to remove it directly?
My brother really doesn't intend to give me any chance to survive..."
Ye Chuxue pursed her lips tightly, "It's my subordinate..."
"No need to say more."
Shangguan Ning raised his hand to interrupt Ye Chuxue, "I know you have tried your best.
You are not a person who is good at dealing with people and the ways of the world, but for my sake, you would rather delay your cultivation and take over the position of the captain of a thousand men.
"It's been really hard for you to guard Ye's camp and be targeted all over the years."
Ye Chuxue heard such comfort, but she did not feel any better in her heart. She said in a deep voice:
"But I still couldn't hold it! Now that things have come to this, why not call Yuan Shuang and the others back..."
"No."
Shangguan Ning's eyes flashed coldly, "They can only be used at critical moments to increase the chances of victory. They must not be dragged down by the situation, otherwise I will never be able to recover."
Ye Chuxue's brow furrowed when she heard this. "But my lord, the current situation cannot be reversed by yourself unless you can find someone who can truly shoulder the responsibility."
"Why wouldn't I want to, too?"
Shangguan Ning rarely showed a trace of sadness.
In the star realm, female cultivators in the Golden Immortal Realm are rare, and most of them come from extraordinary backgrounds. They had heard the rumors from the Shangguan family early on and did not want to be involved in the gossip.
Among the casual cultivators, whether they are female Golden Immortals or female casual immortals above the Four Tribulations Random Immortal Realm, who is not well versed in the principle of self-preservation?
Even if they are not aware of the situation, it is not easy to recruit them.
"That's all."
Shangguan Ning's brows relaxed, and he spoke calmly, "We can discuss this later. You need to maintain the overall situation first.
In addition, the monthly salary will be tripled to appease the remaining people and avoid alienating them."
"three times?!"
Ye Chuxue was shocked when she heard this, "Sir, this is against the rules."
"The Moon Camp's female immortals have as much military merit as the Sun Camp, yet their salaries have been cut in half. Is that in line with the rules?"
Shangguan Ning sneered, "Are you afraid they'll rebel again, claiming injustice? Don't worry, I'll take care of it if anything goes wrong. What are you afraid of?"
Having said that, Ye Chuxue naturally couldn't persuade him any further. She could only respond with a worried look and turn away.
The temple became quiet.
Shangguan Ning looked at the slightly swaying bead curtain.
After a long moment, he sighed softly.
There are only 300 people left in Yueying. There are many ways to suppress them without much cost. Why would her brother go to the trouble of starting a mutiny?
Many people died last time, and he was able to shift the blame onto Yueying and her.
If it happens again, many people in the Japanese camp will probably realize that their deaths are just victims of the internal struggle within the Shangguan family!
By then, the morale of the Red and Green Army will surely be in chaos!
If the ancient demon took the opportunity to attack again, and the battle became unfavorable, not to mention what would happen to her, her brother would probably be sent to heaven by the clan to take the blame before he could even enjoy the fruits of victory.
Ye Chuxue has the ability, but her intelligence is a little lacking. She cannot see the calculations and plans behind these things. She is good at following the rules but not flexible enough.
A fierce light flashed in Shangguan Ning's eyes.
In order to turn the situation around, she must find a real helper, no matter what the cost!
The Huacheng Dan Pin Conference is coming soon, and it should attract many fairies to attend.
Hopefully, by then, she'll get what she wants.
