Chapter 893: Chapter 85: Placing Comrade Ye Jun Chapter 893: Chapter 85: Placing Comrade Ye Jun In Yan Yu’s memory, the Chongying Yin Yang Bureau in his previous life had never done something like photocopying thousands of copies of the Exorcism Sword Manual and distributing them randomly in the Martial Arts world.

The reason for this, naturally, was the existence of the Sword Holder of Lu Country, which was a strong restraint against the Orochi plan.

Even if the Shroud Barrier was broken, it could still be repaired afterward; if a Mortal Warrior died, there were plenty more; but the Orochi, needing massive human sacrifices during its cultivation and taking a long time to raise, once it was successfully cultivated and then simply chopped down by a Sword Holder… It definitely turned out to be a disastrously bad deal.

From this line of reasoning, one might guess that the reason why the Yin Yang Bureau decided to publicly sell the Orochi cultivation plan was to lure the forces surrounding Lu Country to cultivate their own Orochi, thereby distracting the Sword Holder and buying time for the Yin Yang Bureau to cultivate their Orochi.

Even though everyone knew what was going on, those forces would still attempt to cultivate their Orochi, and Lu Country would certainly not stand idly by–it could be considered a very clever open scheme.

Of course, Lu Country also possessed great strategic Steadfast Will, and did not even plan to waste time and manpower on disputes with neighboring forces.

As long as a Golden Core true master emerged, everything would improve!

At this point, Yan Yu felt as if a heavy burden had been placed on his shoulders.

Though I am a pure love warrior, in order to have more top-grade Golden Core true masters in Lu Country, I must go all out!

“Right,” the imperial envoy from the Privy Council then said, “There is one thing I need to ask for your opinion, Yan Yu.”

“The Dingbei Army is considering swapping out Cai Qianlong for Ye Jun, to adjust the composition of the Dragon Soar Team, what do you think?”

“I think it’s inappropriate,” Yan Yu said.

“Understood,” the imperial envoy nodded.

Both parties knew very well that just a word from Yan Yu meant there was no longer a chance for Cai Qianlong to swap out Ye Jun.

The voice of the Sword Holder had absolute irreplaceable authority in Lu Country, even a comment on anything required the ears of the Cabinet, who listened carefully and weighed the matter.

The only strange thing was, during the last visit General Li Weiguo made, he could have asked for opinions privately instead, without needing to bring this topic up openly.

Hmm, so why seek my public stance? Could it be to offer an explanation to Cai’s father-in-law?

Yan Yu was baffled by this.

After the meeting ended, he returned to his room and suddenly received a message from Ye Jun:
“I’m outside.”

Yan Yu went to open the door and saw Ye Jun outside with red eyes, seemingly just having cried, and she asked in a low voice:
“Did I disturb you?”

“No,” Yan Yu shook his head, then let Ye Jun into the room, and only then noticed she was holding a bottle of alcohol.

“Have you been drinking?”

“Just a little,” Ye Jun sat down on the edge of the bed, not caring if the alcohol would stain the bedsheet, and took a big gulp from the bottle.

Yan Yu frowned as he watched her. Never mind, the base’s cleaners come every day to change the linens.

“Am I really useless?” Ye Jun suddenly asked, lowering her eyes to the carpet and speaking in a quiet voice.

“Uh…” Yan Yu pondered for a moment, “Did you hear?”

“Yes,” Ye Jun nodded.

In a flash, thoughts connected in his mind!

The news of Cai Qianlong wanting to replace Ye Jun was originally not public. Now that Ye Jun knew it, someone must have told her privately.

Knowing that the Dingbei Army was considering replacing her must have sparked a strong feeling of defeat and resentment in her, and drinking alcohol early in the morning was a clear proof of this.

Then, as the opposite of this resentment, what would be her feelings toward the person who pulled her back from the front gates of Hell?

A clever scheme indeed!

The open scheme of the Yin Yang Bureau, forcing Lu Country to divert its attention to handle the new issues surrounding the neighboring forces; the open scheme of the Privy Council, which also helped the Sword Holder win another woman’s heart, even if begrudgingly accepting this favor… It’s hard to tell who comes out on top.

“You don’t need to be too sad,” realizing the purpose behind their actions, Yan Yu wasn’t in a hurry to take credit, but rather comforted her, “You’re not happy in the Dragon Soar Team anyway, why not take this opportunity to leave? It’s also a good chance to rest.”

“I was prepared for this,” Ye Jun continued, staring at the floor, “Normally, leaving the team would be fine. But now, in the critical phase of advancing to Golden Core, I absolutely can’t just give up my position willingly.”

“It’s only human,” Yan Yu concurred.

In this system, some people have connections, others don’t; unless your strength reaches a certain level, you’ll have to step aside. Although everyone understands this, when it happens to oneself, who can truly accept it completely?

“I will leave the Dragon Soar Team,” Ye Jun abruptly added, “after Core Formation.”

“After leaving the team, what do you plan to do?” Yan Yu asked, surprised, thinking that Ye Jun must have been deeply hurt.

No way, Lord Master is ruthless and unprincipled! I despise it as well.

“I don’t know.” Ye Jun closed her eyes, “I will still serve within the Dingbei Army framework, just not in the combat team anymore–they don’t need me anyway.”

“Right,” Yan Yu fell into thought.
