642 Underestimated Her
“Brother Yan Qin, actually, Captain…”
“You don’t have to say anything.” Yan Qin raised his hand to stop him.
He did not want to hear Old Jiang say that Ye Chengzong only let his imagination run wild because he was anxious about his sister.
He, and probably the Master, could understand Ye Chengzong’s concern for his family member.
However, understanding was one thing. If it were him, he would not place another disloyal person in an important position, even if they were only letting their imagination run wild because of anxiety.
If Yan Qin thought it was impossible, it was even more so for his Master.
He took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.
“You should go back. Let him calm down alone. If he can’t calm down, that’s all we can do.”
“Well…” Old Jiang looked at Yan Qin, wanting to persuade Ye Chengzong.
However, when he considered the consequences of persuading him, he no longer dared to do so. Who knew whether Ye Chengzong would become the next Ye Chenglin?
Good intentions were useless at Huayan Peak. He should save his breath.
“Alright, Brother Yan Qin. I’ll go back first.”
With that, he returned to the camp. Yan Qin did not look for Ye Chengzong. Instead, he turned around and really went to pick herbs.
Why should he waste his free time on Ye Chengzong? They genuinely lacked medicinal herbs. He should do something meaningful.
“Yan Qin…”
Although Ye Chengzong was worried about Ye Chenglin, he still sensed someone approaching.
He knew it was Yan Qin because he had heard Old Jiang mention “Brother Yan Qin” in surprise. He waited for a long time, but Yan Qin never showed up.
When he turned around, Yan Qin was long gone.
“It seems like you’re disloyal to me too.”
He sighed softly, wondering whether An Jiuyue was truly so good that she could bribe Yan Qin.
It made sense. Yan Qin, Yan Jin, and Yan Nuo listened to An Jiuyue obediently. He noticed that they would sometimes disregard the Master’s instructions in favor of An Jiuyue’s.
Gong Cheng despised An Jiuyue but would still side with her at critical moments.
What kind of ability did this woman have to make so many men treat her so well?
“I underestimated her.”
He only found out later that the medicinal pill used to detoxify Zhao Weimu might have been from An Jiuyue.
Chenglin’s Antidote Pill had vanished, and coincidentally, An Jiuyue produced an Antidote Pill and used it to detoxify Zhao Weimu, blocking Chenglin’s last option.
“Let’s take it slow.”
He believed that Chenglin had plans for the next step because she could leave with Ming Fucheng.
His main priority now was to serve dutifully by his Master’s side. He could not afford to make any more mistakes that could give An Jiuyue leverage over him. Otherwise, one mistake would lead to another.
…
The next morning, everyone in the camp discovered something.
Qian Jiyun had stripped Ye Chengzong of his position as captain of the swamp and instead appointed Yan Qin, demoting Ye Chengzong to an ordinary guardian.
Although Ye Chengzong felt unhappy, he quickly suppressed it and pretended to be unaffected.
Meanwhile, the others were shocked.
