Chapter 1437: Chapter 497: Another Clash at the City Gates
Situ and Lan Feng, along with Bo Qing, are Ye Lingyue’s companions.
They were originally people who appeared on the Jiu Provinces Heaven List, with rich personal strength and combat experience.
Making them do logistics like our other newcomers left Ye Lingyue feeling they were being wronged.
"Hey, boss, what are you talking about? We have sworn to live and die with the Huangquan Team. Just take what I said earlier as nonsense; it’s better for me to keep my mouth shut."
Situ scratched his head, feeling quite embarrassed.
"Indeed, we benefited greatly from the boss’s Divine Power Skill; how could we easily forget such a kindness? Logistics it is then, of all professions, exceptional talents emerge, who knows, we might just create a miracle and become the first logistics team to enter the Earth List."
Lan Feng also smiled.
If it were before, the two might have left after hearing such an allocation.
After all, in past demon hunting teams or representative teams they joined, there wasn’t much emotional attachment.
But after following Ye Lingyue and joining the Huangquan City Team, everything was different.
Situ and Lan Feng both felt that every member of the Huangquan Team genuinely accepted them.
Within the Huangquan Team, there was no scheming, although Ye Lingyue was the boss, she never treated any of them like subordinates.
Especially since the last time Ye Lingyue generously gifted them the Divine Skills, feelings of gratitude grew, making it impossible for them to leave easily during Huangquan City’s crisis.
"Also, I’d like to suggest someone. Lin Xin wants to join the Huangquan Team too. Though her strength isn’t considered strong, she once served as the boss lady at the Red Sleeve Pavilion, with wide connections and experience in managing logistics which she wants to do with us."
No one opposed Gong Linxin’s joining.
"We’ve been assigned logistics roles, but what about the teams from Wuling City, Shui City, and that annoying Jin Family? Where have they all been placed?"
Guangzi asked indirectly.
What he really cared about was the whereabouts of that troublemaker, Xi Jiuye.
He was perhaps the happiest one in the team to be assigned logistics; it meant those annoying men would stay far away from Sister.
"The Wuling City Team is quite strong, assigned to the intelligence area for frontline exploration and search. Shui City handles transportation and communication. As for the Jin Family, they were placed in the core region, directly participating in frontline demon hunting."
Ye Lingyue was somewhat dissatisfied as she brought it up.
She mentally prepared herself but hadn’t anticipated such a disparity in treatment between Huangquan City and other cities before participating in the Jiu Provinces Hunting.
The allocations to Wuling City and Shui City were fairly reasonable, but the placement of Third Young Master Jin and his people seemed unjust.
The Jin Family Team’s combat strength surged with Xi Jiuye joining, but the others were just about on par with Bo Qing’s group.
They were directly assigned to the most monster-dense areas, definitely the front lines, where the rewards were richest.
It was also the area Ye Lingyue most wanted to go, knowing Little Jiu Nian likely passed through that region to the demon world.
And the entrance to the demon world should also be in the core region.
"The Jin Family must’ve meddled; as far as I know, all those top Outer Heaven Family teams were assigned to the core region. But on the bright side, sending those arrogant Outer Heaven youngsters to the core area might as well let them be completely wiped out by the monsters."
Si Xiaochun sneered.
"Trying to look after others, better worry about ourselves first, we depart tomorrow."
Bo Qing said and glanced at Ye Lingyue.
On mentioning "departure," an obvious flash of reluctance appeared on Ye Lingyue’s face.
This meant, from tomorrow onwards, Ye Lingyue and Di Shen would be apart, and this separation could be for an indefinite period, with no foreseeable reunion.
This wasn’t the first time Ye Lingyue and Di Shen had to separate.
But it was certainly the most difficult one.
Because the Wuling Team Di Shen belonged to and Huangquan Team with Ye Lingyue happened to represent two extremes. The Wuling Team members were heading to the intelligence area, fulfilling roles of spies and informants.
Pioneers and spies explore monster disturbances, updating core region teams for timely strikes.
They are first to contact monsters.
This meant Di Shen and Wuyue faced even greater danger than the core region teams.
According to Jiu Provinces Hall statistics, representative teams involved in spy roles often have the most casualties every year.
Clearly, this is another deliberate act of revenge from City Lord Ma and Master Chen.
As newcomers, being directly assigned intelligence spy roles, Di Shen and Wuyue broke new ground in the Jiu Provinces Hunting tradition.
At the city gates, representative teams participating in the Jiu Provinces Hunt began their departure.
"Wife, no more gloomy faces. I’m just going to scout ahead, rest assured, not a single hair will be missing."
Di Shen felt hurt seeing Ye Lingyue look so silent.
He didn’t want to be separated from Ye Lingyue either, but having promised Wuling City Lord, he must fulfill his role as one of Wuling City’s own.
"Guangzi, during my absence, you must take care of Ling Yue, especially defending against unrelated individuals."
Di Shen gave a meaningful glance at Bo Qing.
"Rest assured, I’ll definitely protect Ling Yue."
Guangzi patted his chest confidently, drawing a warning glare from Bo Qing.
"Fifth Sister, you be careful too. Your first time in the Central Plains, don’t push yourself."
Qin Xiaochuan was worried about Wuyue; her Dantian issue hadn’t fully healed, and venturing into the Central Plains seemed dangerous.
"Fourth Brother, Sixth Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I won’t act rashly, besides there are other people in the team. You should also strive hard, I hope to see you sooner in the Central Plains." Wuyue nodded firmly.
She had heard various rumors about the Central Plains, also knowing it was monster-laden, but for her, it represented hope.
To hunt down and capture the demon beast that severely injured her, seizing its Demon Core to fully heal her wounds and avenge her parents—this was Wuyue’s lifelong wish.
Words run out eventually, and amidst the urging calls, the Wuling Team was about to set off.
A thousand sentiments stuck in his throat, Di Shen gazed at her intently, suddenly squinting coldly at a nearby arriving team behind Ye Lingyue.
