Chapter 3457: Chapter 3457: He’s No Better Than Scum!
"He’s here."
Xiao Yi carefully placed the booklet he had written in a Secret Chamber, then stepped out.
Yang Tianxiu’s spies were everywhere, and it seemed they had learned about Ge Leader’s intrusion into that courtyard last night. However, Xiao Yi wasn’t worried at all.
Who said he had been to that courtyard? It was merely Ge Leader’s imagination, having nothing to do with him.
However, once he left the study, an evil cultivator quietly sneaked in, rummaged through the study, yet found nothing.
In frustration, the evil cultivator stomped on the ground, looked around once more, and left reluctantly.
Last night, he clearly saw Xiao Yi enter the courtyard with three others—one adult and two children—he was sure of it.
But later, when Ge Leader entered, there was nothing to find, not even a shadow of a person.
Upon returning, Ge Leader summoned him and thoroughly berated him, bringing up all his ancestors in the cursing spree, yet he remained unsatisfied.
He even threatened that if evidence of Xiao Yi’s betrayal could not be found, the news of his betrayal of Xiao Yi would be exposed.
He truly rued the day he made a grave mistake; had he not been greedy for what little Ge Leader offered, he wouldn’t be in such a tough spot now.
Now, he had no choice but to find evidence of Xiao Yi’s betrayal of their master.
After all, he distinctly saw Xiao Yi interacting with strangers, so long as he insisted Xiao Yi met with those who poisoned, who could say otherwise?
Yet now, there was nothing in Xiao Yi’s study, and he was growing anxious.
Once he left, two more evil cultivators arrived outside the study, spitting disdainfully at the departing figure.
"Ugh, what a person, daring to betray the leader!"
He despised those who resorted to betrayal at the drop of a hat—sneaking around, they amounted to nothing.
"Why get worked up over him? He’ll regret it sooner or later. The leader is so great, and yet he chooses betrayal; does he think Ge Leader is any good?"
The other evil cultivator snorted coldly, staring icily at the distant figure.
"Once he’s of no use, he’ll understand how Ge Leader treats him. When that time comes, ha-ha." He chuckled lightly, devoid of any warmth in his eyes.
"Indeed, Ge Leader is no good either!"
"Don’t worry, the leader will certainly not let Ge Leader off. Today, there’s a real show in store for Ge Leader."
Look, even the master knows about last night’s events now. Even if true, the leader’s words alone would lead Ge Leader to face punishment in front of the master.
Even if the master doesn’t fully trust the leader, he’s still the master’s most capable aide. The master relies on our leader after all.
Only Ge Leader is blind to the bigger picture, thinking he’s so powerful that he can replace our leader’s position.
...
In the City Lord Residence, Ge Leader hunched his shoulders, waiting for Xiao Yi to arrive.
He found it strange; how did the master know about last night’s secretive action?
He had just returned after being punished for the last incident. He didn’t even know how to unseal the array formation, and now the master caught him at odds with Xiao Yi again.
Yang Tianxiu looked at the hunched, quail-like figure of Ge Leader and felt a surge of anger.
