Fang Yu was dumbfounded.
The operation you initiated caused a complete commotion on the Lin Family's territory, who knows what ss it created.
And now you want soone as lowly as to clean it up, are you serious?
Snapping back to reality, Fang Yu hurriedly said in 'anxious' tones.
"Lord, isn't this inappropriate? I'm just a minor patrol officer, how can I have the qualifications to bear such a heavy responsibility?"
But An nyi smiled and said.
"It's enough, it's enough. Your Yangshen Hall Master Wu Lvzhu believed your intelligence and went to the Lin Family, and that's why a demon attacked and left him in that state."
"Tonight's operation was also based on your intelligence, which emboldened us to act against the Lin Family."
"But now we've found out that the Lin Family hasn't fallen into demon hands, and Lin Ye, the current decision-maker, isn't a demon either. Just so Little Demons making minor trouble."
"This night's operation beca a joke, and it angered the Lin Family."
"Tell , with things turning this way, how should I clean it up? Soone has to be responsible, right?"
What do you an?
Bla huh?
Fang Yu looked at the other Hall Masters.
He noticed that the Hall Masters had a faint gaze cast upon him as well.
Understood.
You're playing , right?
A glimr of gloom flashed in Fang Yu's eyes, along with Ding Hui's previous words in his mind.
The higher-ups, really can't be trusted at all.
Taking a deep breath, Fang Yu said in a deep voice.
"Lord Hall Master, are you blaming for the faulty intelligence?"
"Yes." An nyi answered decisively.
"...But I'm just a Demon Foot, and even a few days ago, I was only a Demon Tail. The intelligence I can gather is quite limited, and its authenticity is hard to discern. How can this be blad on ?"
An nyi laughed.
"That's still your problem."
"Your intelligence was wrong, which caused us in the Foolish Underworld great losses."
"Your intelligence was wrong, which made tonight's operation a complete failure."
"Your intelligence was wrong, and we've made enemies with the Lin Family, unable to give an explanation."
"You tell , what should we do with you now?"
Are you trying to PUA here.
I just provided a piece of intelligence, how you chose to use it is up to you, how can you pin this on ?
Trying to discard after I'm of no use, is it?
Fang Yu's gaze chilled.
"Lord Hall Master, what do you want to do?"
"Very simple, just as I said, we are preparing for you to represent the Foolish Underworld and make ands with the Lin Family."
"Lord, you an for to die."
Given the current situation with the Lin Family, sending just a patrol officer to take the fall would result in being torn apart.
"Don't say that, if you truly make a heroic sacrifice, your na will certainly be etched on the Honor Monunt of the Foolish Underworld, earning you a place. Moreover..."
An nyi drew out his tone.
"...we have a second proposal."
Honor Monunt, what a joke, it's not that Fang Yu doesn't understand.
Being on the list indeed ensures posthumous care for one's family by the Foolish Underworld.
But without reason, why should I willingly die?
Fang Yu frowned and said, "Lord, please tell , what is this so-called second proposal."
"Also simple. It's for you to tell us why you shouldn't be sent to make ands with the Lin Family. Convince three of us, and soone else will be sent instead of you."
I... have to state my reasons?
Fang Yu's expression turned peculiar.
Earlier, they seed to want to kill , but now they seem to be giving a chance to survive.
What kind of strategy are these old folks playing?
But after thinking about it, Fang Yu hesitantly spoke up.
"...I'm good at combat?"
The Hall Masters had paused their chopsticks, and upon hearing Fang Yu say this, they couldn't help but laugh.
A patrol officer, no matter how good at fighting, isn't going to be that effective.
Far less valuable than his undercover role as a demon's mole.
"Think again." An nyi blinked, seemingly hinting at sothing.
Fang Yu started to understand and spoke again.
"...I'm well-hidden on the demon's side, continuously providing important intelligence to the Foolish Underworld."
Everyone laughed.
"Very sufficient, but still missing that little bit. Just a little bit." An nyi rubbed his thumb and forefinger together with aning.
This ti, Fang Yu was truly puzzled.
He bowed his head and honestly asked, "Please, Lord Hall Master, speak directly."
"It's loyalty! Dummy!" Ming Hall Master Ming Tianqi butted in.
Upon hearing this, the other Hall Masters burst into laughter.
The atmosphere seed to lighten up instantly.
It felt like the oppressive feeling from before was completely gone.
Loyal, loyalty?
Fang Yu was dumbfounded.
I've been working in the Foolish Underworld, and my family is settled here, and my loyalty still isn't enough?
"Lord, what do you an..." Fang Yu inquired.
"You're fine, just a bit lacking in comprehension," comnted Juanan Hall Master Shu Shangming.
An nyi didn't beat around the bush, speaking directly, "It's simple. Starting tomorrow, you'll be the Deputy Captain of the Yangshen Hall, and also serve as Acting Captain."
Deputy, Deputy Captain?
Acting Captain??
Fang Yu was montarily dumbfounded.
It felt like a pie falling from the sky, leaving him dizzy.
A few hours ago, he was just fighting alongside Zhuo Xueer, the reserve deputy captain, risking their lives.
Now, a few hours later, he was suddenly on equal footing with his forr superior, Zhuo Xueer.
And also took on the role of acting captain.
Fang Yu couldn't help but ask, "Lord Hall Master, I can understand Deputy Captain, but what position is Acting Captain?"
"It's nothing much, it's just that after reviewing the list, we found out that your Snow Team's Captain Quan Xianxue heroically sacrificed themselves in last night's fight with the demon."
"Currently in your Yangshen Hall, Hall Master Wu Lvzhu is recuperating and unable to maintain hall operations. After discussion, we're planning to let Wind Team's Captain Zhang Zhenyi temporarily replace Wu Lvzhu as Acting Hall Master."
