Chapter 773: Chapter 51 Abyss World_2
Causing your superior to lose face is a grave taboo.
“t Wu Sen Demon Marshal and Green Snake Demon Marshal; as we will serve Lord together from now on, I’m new here and I hope you two will take good care of !” Yu Luo’s voice grew heavier.
“There’s no need for such politeness.” Wu Sen seed just to have caught on, chuckling.
After all, you can’t overdo things when you’re working for soone.
“Since you’re new, if there’s anything you’re not familiar with, feel free to ask .” The Green Snake Demon Marshal even adopted a smile that hid his intentions.
“Of course.” Yu Luo appeared unphased and, having greeted them, then stepped back.
“Lord, where is Pu Qu?” Wu Sen looked around; noting that Pu Qu, who usually received Qing Ge’s favor, was surprisingly absent, he found it odd.
“From now on, Yu Luo will take over Pu Qu’s duties,” Lu Qingshan said, not addressing Wu Sen’s question.
This remark caused both Demon Marshals to be startled, and a thunderclap seed to explode in their hearts.
What had happened?
Did Lord an… that sothing had happened to Pu Qu?!
And they were planning for this nobody called Yu Luo to take over Pu Qu’s position?
Thinking thus, their gazes inadvertently returned to Yu Luo, whom they had deliberately ignored before.
Seeing this, a gleam flashed in Lu Qingshan’s eyes.
It was exactly what he had hoped for.
Once he had thrown out that piece of news, neither of the two had much interest in observing his performance anymore.
This was another benefit of taking Yu Luo as his confidant and subordinate.
Yu Luo could serve as a shield, attracting a significant amount of fire away from him.
As it was now, Wu Sen Demon Marshal and Green Snake Demon Marshal were both fixated on what could have possibly happened to Pu Qu and who this suddenly-erged Yu Luo replacing Pu Qu’s position was, thus paying little attention to him.
This gave Lu Qingshan so breathing room to adapt to his “Qing Ge” identity.
“Alright,” Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes, slowly saying, “The reason I’ve summoned you two here is to inform you that I’m planning to return to the Abyss soon, and you should also start making preparations in advance.”
“We will depart tomorrow,” Lu Qingshan decisively said.
“Understood,” the two nodded and responded in unison.
This was to be expected.
A precious body does not sit idly by.
Qing Ge’s appearance on the battlefield beyond the realm was rely to capture Falling Goose Pass and earn enough battle rits.
A re day trip to the battlefield beyond the realm.
Whether the mission failed or succeeded, he had no reason to linger on that battlefield any longer.
“What are your thoughts on our failure to capture Falling Goose Pass?” Lu Qingshan suddenly asked.
How else could one see it?
If it had not been for you inviting the enemy aboard, how could this certain victory have been overturned?
The Demon Marshals were full of disdain in their hearts.
“Victory and defeat are common for soldiers,” Wu Sen Demon Marshal said righteously, “Human Race is cunning, and it was Lord’s first ti leading a military expedition; so accidents are to be expected.”
“Wu Sen is right, Lord shouldn’t mind this matter,” Green Snake Demon Marshal, hating that he was a step slow with his words, could only follow up, “I imagine the Demon Lord would understand Lord and wouldn’t bla you.
“Moreover, although the action failed, we didn’t really lose anything, so it can’t be considered a defeat.”
That too was the truth.
In terms of losses, it was rely Qing Ge losing both arms and a bit of face.
“Father naturally won’t bla , but my two dear brothers certainly won’t miss this opportunity to kick while I’m down,” Lu Qingshan added.
“That…” Wu Sen and Green Snake exchanged glances, at a loss for words for a mont.
According to them, what’s wrong with kicking soone while they’re down? At most, they would mock you as useless, but they can’t really do anything to you.
What do you care about them?
But obviously, these were not the words they could directly say to Qing Ge.
“Such a bunch of useless things, unable to lend a hand when it matters,” Lu Qingshan waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to withdraw, “You’re all useless to .”
Exchanging glances, Wu Sen and Green Snake felt sowhat embarrassed but had no choice but to suppress their frustration and said, “We shall take our leave.”
…..
After the two left the City Lord’s Mansion.
“What’s your take on Pu Qu’s situation?” Wu Sen couldn’t help asking.
They had long been discontent under Pu Qu Demon Marshal’s oppressive rule.
But now that he was suddenly gone, they couldn’t help but feel a chill.
“Considering Lord’s attitude, it seems like sothing happened to Pu Qu…,” Green Snake pondered.
“Pu Qu was fine; what could have happened to him?”
“Moreover, seeing Lord acting like it’s not a big deal and promptly finding a replacent for Pu Qu, it all feels very strange,” Wu Sen furrowed his brow, “Pu Qu was highly favored by Lord; how could he beco a non-issue to Lord so quickly, to the point of imdiately finding soone to take his place?”
“Why do you care so much about Pu Qu?” Green Snake had a different view.
“It’s surely a good thing for us if he’s in trouble.”
Green Snake said with a sinister tone, “With Pu Qu around, he was able to suppress us, leaving us without a chance to rise.
“Now that he’s gone, isn’t it our turn to take the lead?”
“But hasn’t Lord already found soone to take Pu Qu’s position?” Wu Sen said discontentedly, “Where is our turn?”
“Do you really intend to let so Sixth Grade upstart stand over us and do as he pleases?” A cold light flashed in Green Snake’s gloomy pupils.
“You might be fine with it, but I’m not.”
“Is he worthy?”
“I’m not fine with it either!” Wu Sen appeared to have grasped sothing and quickly nodded in agreent.
Riled up, he thought, “We have served Lord for so long, and whether it’s by rit or seniority, we should be the ones to take over Pu Qu’s position. Why would it be his turn?”
