If he were to work for the Grand Preceptor, and the news reached the headquarters of the Demon Extermination Alliance, his chances of advancing further would be completely gone.
So let alone doing things for the Grand Preceptor, Wu Tianqing wouldn't even do anything to get him to put in more effort.
For example, last time we went to retrieve the Corpse King's inner core, we urged Wu Tianqing for over ten days before he made any move, and in the end, he was still only paying lip service to our demands.
Judging from Jin Ding Zhenren's appearance, he has been dissatisfied with Wu Tianqing for a long time, but he has not yet taken action against him because he is wary of the Demon Extermination Alliance.
The Demon Extermination Alliance headquarters still has many top experts, and even Golden Cauldron True Man is extremely wary of these top experts.
Therefore, he dared not actually kill Wu Tianqing. Otherwise, if a branch leader were to be killed so rashly, the Demon Extermination Alliance would have to give an explanation for it.
Yang Cheng squinted and said, "That Wu Tianqing is ungrateful. Last time he even tried to kill me."
Since he's unwilling to work for the Grand Preceptor, it would be better to eliminate him.
I am willing to eliminate Wu Tianqing for the Grand Preceptor and take control of the Liang Kingdom's Demon-Exorcising Alliance branch!
Di Kui sneered, "You're just a silver-ranked swordsman with no real power base within the Demon Extermination Alliance. What makes you think you can eliminate Wu Tianqing? You don't actually believe that killing Wu Tianqing will make the Demon Extermination Alliance branch obey your orders, do you?"
The Golden Cauldron Master said from the side, "Don't dampen Yang Cheng's enthusiasm. If Yang Cheng wants to do this, then let him do it."
"Yang Cheng, go ahead and do it. If anything goes wrong, come find me."
Jin Ding Zhenren was extremely satisfied with Yang Cheng's attitude.
Di Kui and his men always obeyed orders; whatever they were told to do, they did.
It's rare to find someone like Yang Cheng who would actually offer to help him share his burdens and do things for him.
"Rest assured, Master, I will certainly live up to your high expectations!"
Yang Cheng bowed and took his leave. After he left, Di Kui hurriedly said, "Master, there's definitely something wrong with Yang Cheng!"
Previously, Di Kui only felt that Yang Cheng was very strong and had excellent flattery skills. It seemed that he understood Jin Ding Zhenren's personality very well and did everything according to Jin Ding Zhenren's preferences, so he quickly gained Jin Ding Zhenren's trust.
But what's happening today is definitely not normal!
Even if Yang Cheng wanted to gain something from Jin Ding Zhenren, he didn't need to rush to help Jin Ding Zhenren deal with Wu Tianqing.
You have to understand that he is the branch leader of the Demon Extermination Alliance. If things go wrong, he could get himself into trouble.
Something unusual must be going on. Yang Cheng's enthusiasm suggests that his plans are not simply about gaining power and influence under the command of Master Jin Ding!
Master Jin Ding sighed: "Di Kui, you were the first to follow me. I don't have any true disciples, but since you work for me and I help you improve your strength, you can be considered my disciples as well."
Do you remember what you did before you came with me?
Di Kui quickly bowed his head respectfully and said, "Of course I remember. I was just a strategist in a bandit stronghold before. After being defeated by the imperial army, I managed to escape with my life, like a stray dog."
"If it weren't for the Imperial Advisor's help and shelter, I might have already been captured and torn apart by five horses by the court."
"It's good that you still remember!"
"Di Kui, you have disappointed me greatly."
Jin Ding Zhenren sighed in a deep voice, "In the past, you worked wholeheartedly for me, just like Yang Cheng today. There are some things that I haven't even mentioned yet, but you've already thought of them."
But now? You're always timid and hesitant in your actions, and you've long lost your former sharpness.
If you were truly capable, Yang Cheng wouldn't be where he is today.
You think Yang Cheng has a problem, but have you ever considered that you might be the one with the problem?
Di Kui hurriedly replied with a look of fear, "Your subordinate absolutely did not mean that!"
However, given the current status of the Grand Preceptor, subordinates must proceed with extreme caution.
Yang Cheng is definitely problematic, I implore you, Grand Preceptor…”
"Enough! Get out of here."
Master Jin Ding already showed some displeasure.
Di Kui's performance today has already disappointed him somewhat, especially compared to Yang Cheng.
But now he's still saying that Yang Cheng has a problem, and that he's the one with the problem!
The reason why Jin Ding Zhenren did not punish Di Kui was simply because, even though he was satisfied with Yang Cheng's performance, he had not yet reached the point of truly trusting him.
Therefore, he also had to keep other subordinates to check Yang Cheng and prevent his trusted subordinates from becoming too powerful and doing things that would deceive him.
Seeing that Master Jin Ding was already somewhat displeased, Di Kui could only sigh, bow, and retreat.
