Chapter 3460: Chapter 3460: Leave It to Ge Leader?
"Little Ge, you’re spouting nonsense again. Shut your mouth for this Venerable!" Yang Tianxiu scolded Ge Leader with feigned displeasure.
The two of them were both his subordinates; naturally he wouldn’t take sides. Even if Ge Leader was stupid as hell, he’d been personally promoted by him—no way he’d let anyone badmouth him.
As for Xiao Yi, he had indeed been underperforming lately. Those people still had no trace to be found.
Saying he wasn’t anxious was impossible.
He did have stored grain, but it wasn’t endless. There would come a day when it was all eaten up. You have to understand, there were that many Evil Cultivation people sitting around waiting to be fed.
Every time he thought of this, he couldn’t help wondering why he’d recruited so many Evil Cultivation people back then. Some things relied on quality, not quantity.
A few more people like Xiao Yi would have been enough; things wouldn’t have ended up like this.
"Everything Xiao Yi is doing is to track those enemies hiding in the dark. It was allowed by this Venerable. Acting like this—do you have some objection to this Venerable’s orders?"
"This subordinate wouldn’t dare."
Hearing that, Ge Leader hurriedly dropped to his knees.
How would he dare question the master’s orders? He just felt that Xiao Yi had been really abnormal lately.
"Master, this subordinate would never presume to comment on your orders. I merely have some doubts about Leader Xiao Yi’s abilities. It’s been so many days, and he still hasn’t caught those people. In the past, Leader Xiao Yi’s efficiency was never this slow."
He raised his head and cast a provocative glance at Xiao Yi as he spoke.
He believed the master also had his doubts about Xiao Yi. Otherwise, why would he keep summoning Xiao Yi over these days for no reason?
He’d even heard that every time the master summoned Xiao Yi lately, his mood would sour afterward.
How was that not Xiao Yi’s fault?
However, Xiao Yi showed no reaction to his words at all; not even the expression on his face changed.
He looked down with calm eyes at the kneeling Ge Leader, his cold lips faintly parting. "If this leader’s abilities are in question and my efficiency is low, then why not hand the task of finding those people over to Ge Leader?"
As he said that, he turned his head to look at Yang Tianxiu.
"Master, those people are indeed hard to find. This subordinate sees Ge Leader looking so full of confidence, as if he believes he can find them in a short time. Why not let him..."
"Xiao Yi, what do you mean by that?!"
Before Xiao Yi could finish, Ge Leader barked sharply, cutting him off.
He wanted the Bloodthirsty Squad under Xiao Yi’s hand, but he absolutely did not want to take on the task of finding those unlucky bastards.
Those people were like turtles hiding in their shells, and lately they didn’t even come out to poison anyone. Where was he supposed to find them? He wasn’t about to deliberately look for trouble for himself.
He figured those people must have already realized the master had sent righteous factions to track them down and had long since gone into hiding.
With things like this, where was he supposed to look?
"What do I mean? You don’t understand?" Xiao Yi turned his head again to look at Ge Leader.
"Since you think this is such a good job, then let you handle it. I’m sure you’ll be more than up to it, won’t you?"
"Up to what up to!"
Ge Leader wasn’t about to fall into his trap. What kind of crap job was this—he couldn’t get it done himself, so he wanted to dump it on him?
"When did I ever say it was a good job? Those people have clearly gone into hiding. Being able to find them would be the real miracle. It’s not like I can flip all of Rock City’s ground over!"
He was so furious he forgot to cover it up and just shouted it straight out.
