"This isn’t a solution, Shadow Killer, bring out the people we placed in the camp," Aunt Qiu softly instructed Shadow Killer.
"What did you say?"
Shadow Killer could hardly believe it; could a person truly trusted by the master say such a thing?
He and the master had put in so much effort to implant a piece belonging to them into the camp, considering that the camp people are tough ones who would never betray their lord.
And now, this woman wants to expose that piece with just a single sentence?
"Aunt Qiu, I call you Aunt Qiu, but that doesn’t an you can randomly order around!" He refused, that piece wasn’t ant to be used that way.
"Have you forgotten the master told you to listen to on everything?" Aunt Qiu glanced at him indifferently.
"The master told to listen to you, but the master didn’t say to expose the piece he worked so hard to insert into the camp, Aunt Qiu, what’s your motive?"
Shadow Killer retorted.
"Just let him co out for a mont, it’s not like he’ll lose a piece of flesh. Inform us, the upcoming tasks are all ours to execute, it’s not like he needs to do anything else."
Aunt Qiu remained unconcerned, thinking Shadow Killer was making a fuss.
A piece is ant to be used, otherwise, what’s the point of inserting such a piece? Are we supposed to worship it like an ancestor?
"Aunt Qiu, you are truly... anyway, that’s impossible, you’ll have to think of another way."
Shadow Killer still rejected Aunt Qiu’s suggestion. Although he must complete the mission and kill the people from various camps, he also knew there’s a high possibility the camp’s people had been watching their guards.
What if the piece ca to deliver a ssage and got discovered?
He couldn’t take that risk; that piece would have great use in the future, it’s not ant to be used now.
"If you want to use that person, you can first request the master, see if he agrees. If he agrees, I’ll definitely not object and imdiately contact that person."
"You—"
Aunt Qiu was infuriated by his insolent attitude, her teeth grinding audibly.
She just wanted to briefly use that piece, what’s wrong with that? Just for a mont, it wouldn’t be discovered, yet this bastard absolutely disagreed!
At this mont, she truly wanted to go back and ask the master, but she couldn’t return without completing the task. How could she face him?
"Fine, then we’ll wait here and see if any people from other camps walk out."
Surely, those people wouldn’t dress like the camp’s guards, right? As long as soone steps out, we can roughly locate them.
"As long as you have the patience to wait."
Shadow Killer took a deep breath, silently warning himself not to argue with this woman, suppressing his anger.
Was he wrong to protect the strategically planned piece from being exposed? Must he expose the piece for this old woman to remain content?
"Waiting is fine, I’ve got plenty of ti." He said.
"Tsk, tsk, looks like he’s speaking too early!"
Perched on a tree not far away, An Jiuyue clicked her tongue and shook her head. She thought he was a calm and composed person, but unexpectedly, he was still unpolished.
Just to probe where those little deities are within the camp, they even needed to deploy the piece.
