Chapter 333 Maple Flame - A Spine of Humiliation - A Vow
Managing a legion and balancing the power and ambitions of different factions is an art.
Furthermore, the selection and appointment of personnel is a huge test of the mental health of managers.
Take Yu Xunge herself as an example. She can indeed maintain a superficially friendly relationship with Yu Xunhuan, Su Yitong and others, but this is based on the premise that she is constantly causing them losses behind the scenes.
After she steals their attributes and equipment, her friendly interactions with them are not a negative emotion; on the contrary, this "friendliness" brings her pleasure, much like a murderer returning to the crime scene to admire his masterpiece.
She can tolerate some verbal disrespect, as long as it's not someone who runs up to her and shouts at her. She doesn't think it's a big deal. But if someone actually tries to harm her, she will never tolerate it. For such a scourge, living another day is an insult to her.
He could be the leader of a legion...
Sometimes, when Yu Xunge saw the true colors of certain scoundrels, she really wanted to kill them.
If Liang Yuchuan were to become Maple Clover, half of the Oak Owls in the "Afternoon Tea" event would die, and the other half of Liang Yuchuan would have to have lunch and rest before continuing to kill.
But Maple Clover could tolerate it. Even though this Oak Owl was of extremely poor character, as long as he had not verbally insulted Maple Sugar, Maple Cang, and Maple Burn, and his divinely bestowed talent was useful and could be used by her, she could embrace him with a smile, and even risk injury on the battlefield to save him.
Yu Xunge healed her so much that her blood pressure almost spiked.
In particular, on one occasion, there was an Oak Owl whose role was to be a tank. When it was his turn to interrupt the beast's ultimate move, Yu Xunge saw him glance at Maple Leaf out of the corner of his eye. Not only did he not interrupt it in time, he also slightly guided the beast's direction, causing the skill to be sprayed towards Maple Leaf.
Yu Xunge almost thought she was going to use "I said the cotton candy isn't expired, so it isn't expired," but Feng Mu held on, with only 0.19% of her health remaining. Yu Xunge then used all her healing skills on Feng Mu.
After the battle, the oak owl came over, bowed, and apologized, saying it was an accident.
Maple Clover did sense something was wrong, but she couldn't produce any evidence. If she killed the other party on the spot, it would be difficult to convince the public, and the Oak Owls who followed her would all worry that they would be killed by her for making a mistake.
More importantly, this Oak Owl's tanking talent is S-level, and we really can't do without him right now.
Since the other party offered her a way out, she had to accept it, so Fengmu smiled nonchalantly and said it was nothing.
Yu Xunge's current reincarnation, previous reincarnations, and the reincarnations before that... no, all the humiliation she has suffered since birth is less than what Feng Mu has suffered in a single day.
On the way home, Feng Mu actually comforted her, saying that she could be ruthless to herself, but not to her subordinates. What she needed was cohesion, not fear. She told the stingy Feng Ran not to be so stingy.
Yu Xunge thought she was talking nonsense.
On that day, Yu Xunge missed Liang Yuchuan so much.
If Liang Yuchuan were here, that Oak Owl would probably be dead on the spot.
Several months have passed since that incident, but Yu Xunge still gets angry when she thinks about it.
Even someone as cautious as her couldn't consider the bigger picture. If it were her, she would have endured it for the sake of the bigger picture and her public image, but she would have definitely found an opportunity to sneak into that Oak Owl's house overnight, steal his attributes, and kill him. Unlike Maple Clover, who actually endured it until now.
Therefore, she had no objection to Maple Syrup making Maple Clover the leader of afternoon tea. Besides, even if she really wanted to, she couldn't change anything. Historically, Maple Clover was the second leader of afternoon tea.
She even clapped her hands and said, "Mother, I support my sister!"
Seeing Feng Ran's relieved expression, Maple Syrup clearly thought of those things as well. Her eyes darkened, and she looked at Feng Mu, saying sincerely, "I'm sorry to have made you bear all this, but I'm proud of you. Although I've made my decision, I seem to have forgotten to ask you: are you willing to accept this legion?"
Feng Mu frowned and shook her head, saying, "Mother, you will be alright. You will definitely come back safely."
Yu Xunge's smile froze on her face. Her pupils dilated in shock. Oh no, this was the correct answer from someone with high emotional intelligence!
Seeing Feng Ran's change of expression, Feng Cang almost choked on her food with laughter. She covered her mouth in embarrassment, but still couldn't stop laughing.
Fortunately, Maple Syrup didn't seem to care about any of that.
She looked into Maple's eyes and said, "I will do my best to make Afternoon Tea better and better, so that it is worthy of your efforts."
That sentence was so solemn, it was like a vow.
...
Maple Syrup's departure seemed to have taken away Maple Clover's rationality. She had become a ruthless tyrant, and anyone who dared to question whether Maple Syrup could return, or anyone who dared to covet the position of legion commander of [Afternoon Tea], would be dealt with by Maple Clover, regardless of whether they were a core member of [Afternoon Tea].
She used extremely cruel methods to suppress all sounds in "Afternoon Tea" with blood.
Yu Xunge asked Feng Mu privately, "Didn't you say that this would make them lose faith in you?"
Maple replied, "It's alright, it's enough that they trust and support maple syrup."
When Maple Syrup was around, she saw herself as the manager of the "afternoon tea" and wouldn't let Maple Syrup get distracted or bothered by trivial matters.
With Maple Syrup gone, her focus is on protecting the "Afternoon Tea," and the more ruthless she is, the more the Oak Hawks will miss Maple Syrup.
Yu Xunge and Feng Cang naturally sided with Feng Mu. The latter believed that everything his family did was right, while the former believed it was because Feng Mu had given him too much.
Since learning archery from Maple Syrup, in just a few years, Maple Syrup has brought her back 7 archery skill books, and all of them started at level B.
After Maple Sugar left, Maple Clover took on the task herself, searching for the best bow, the sharpest arrows, and the most dazzling and powerful shooting skills for Yu Xunge.
Perhaps it wasn't as good as bringing home maple syrup, but Maple Clover brought back all the good things she could get for Maple Ran and Maple Cang. Of course, she left the most precious things for Maple Syrup.
In mid-1977, all the Oak Owls heard the announcement that their life level had been elevated, and all the Oak Owls cheered, except for Maple Leaf and Yu Xunge, who were saddened.
Maple Sugar is back, blind in one eye and missing a leg. Yu Xunge is using healing skills to restore her to her original condition. To her surprise, even Feng Cang is crying, but Feng Mu, who values Maple Sugar the most in the family, doesn't shed a tear.
After recovering, Maple Sugar smiled and hugged Maple Clover, Maple Cang, and Yu Xunge one by one. Then, she led them and some of the members of the "Afternoon Tea" group who had been fully supporting Maple Clover since she left, through the portal to the tower.
Yu Xunge once thought it was an oak tree, but after living in the Forest for more than two hundred years, she has come to know that it is an extremely special tree. It is not only the first tree in the Forest, but it is said to have existed when the first oak owl was born. It is also the only oak tree in the Forest that grew from the clover species. It combines the advantages of the clover and the oak, and is the tallest, strongest and most beautiful tree in the Forest.
The "Tower" of today is not quite the same as the one she saw in Zeran, but she knows that in the near future, Oak Owl will transform the tree and then move the replica of the light screen that they have reclaimed into the Tower.
