If Mo Zhu was angry earlier, then now, he’s fuming mad that he could explode. "You! What do you know about , Shen Yuan? I gained my position in the Hunter Association through skill and hard work! You don’t have any right to find fault in my appointnt!"
The red-haired oga stomped his feet, and a fire burst out from it. Shen Yuan didn’t feel any threat from it. It’s just Mo Zhu’s failure to control his powers due to his chaotic emotions.
See? He’s on point with his words.
"Okay," Shen Yuan responded.
This short and obviously uninterested answer ticked Mo Zhu greatly.
He angrily pointed at Shen Yuan and accused, "And how dare you talk about controlling yourself and pride when you’re the number one in this room who doesn’t practice what you preach."
"A mage fighting multiple awakeners without using your main superpowers? Try to do that in a real fight and I assured you that you will be the first one to drop dead between and you."
"No, that is incorrect," Xia Jinhai interjected. Mo Zhu looked at the S-Class beta with a look that directly translated: You’re siding with Shen Yuan?
However, the man didn’t bother to decipher it or ponder if it was worth being sandwiched by two ogas with big egos and strong personalities. He just wanted to say facts.
"From the very beginning, he didn’t just put a handicap on himself because he wanted to brag his strength. He did it because of discipline. Shen Yuan must have thought that using his flas and consuming a lot of mana in a spar against five people was excessive and useless. It’s already a recognized fact that he’s already a strong S-Class awakener, so why waste his energy? Besides, his goal was to gauge his new mbers, not him."
Shen Yuan nodded and answered nonchalantly, "That, and I’m also thinking about the plants. Bai Tingfeng loved the greens and the view of the garden. As his beloved husband, I don’t have a heart to destroy it."
Xia Jinhai gave Shen Yuan a side eye. Does he really have to emphasize that he’s married to Bai Tingfeng? This oga could be really petty if he wants to.
Mo Zhu is shaking terribly.
Hitting where it hurt most, huh, Shen Yuan?
The red-haired oga could only pretend that he was okay and well. But deep inside, he’s lanting for the love that he couldn’t push through.
"You know what, Mo Zhu. You could have saved yourself from all these harsh words from if you didn’t stubbornly believe that you could win against , or beating could make Bai Tingfeng look your way," Shen Yuan shook his head as if he was defeated. " I could never understand why there are so people working their ass off and resorting to great lengths just to be noticed by the people they liked."
Xia Jinhai and Shen Yuan’s subordinates looked like they had eaten sothing sour. Shit, are they going to hear the fabled problems of handso and beautiful people? Like how draining it is to be eye-catching all day or how tiring it is to be confessed to?
They are ordinary people hooking up with the ones with the sa specs as them, so beauty problems are nonexistent for them.
The always-composed Xia Jinhai wanted to bitch slap Shen Yuan for this instance. He’s freaking single through and through.
anwhile, Mo Zhu’s hate for Shen Yuan reached its highest. He wanted to claw the other oga’s face to destroy the face that stole his love from him, but he knew that was nothing but suicide.
Bam! He forcefully stood up and looked down at the sitting oga. "I will rember this humiliation, Shen Yuan! And I will make sure you pay for it."
The celestial fox spirit smiled a lovely smile, "Sure, do you accept a card? Or maybe you want cash?"
"Puff!" Li An could no longer contain his laugh, so he let out a forceful breath.
Mo Zhu’s face changed from red to black, then back to red when he heard Shen Yuan’s words.
"Ahhhh!" He let out a sharp and shrill scream of frustration, "You damn! I will see to it, I’ll kick your ass!"
Mo Zhu stomped his feet multiple tis as if he were seeing the other’s face on the ground. Gone was the sophisticated facade that he usually portrays.
But Shen Yuan remained unbothered. He replied cheerily, "That sounds perfect. Hit up when I’m bored."
"Damn you! I loath you with every fiber of my being, Shen Yuan!" Frustrated and extrely livid, Mo Zhu has no choice but to walk out of the house with thunderous, heavy steps.
Shen Yuan and the others watched the back of the retreating oga.
The celestial fox spirit was apathetic.
anwhile, the others have a complicated feeling. They felt sorry for Mo Zhu, but he was still the one who triggered his explosive Shen Yuan.
Li An, Wen Huian, and Hu Feng learned sothing about their leader. He’s got a scathing tongue, and no one could win against him when it cos to taunting. Shen Yuan sure knows where to hit, but that hurts most.
"What is the reason why he ca here anyway?" Shen Yuan asked after seeing Mo Zhu’s back disappear.
"Well, since you’ll be working as a dungeon marshal for the ti being, Chairman Mao thought that it’s a good idea for the head of the Dungeon Managent Departnt to brief you on what to do."
Shen Yuan rolled his eyes, "He did a great job picking my team mbers, but he sure ssed up choosing who to send for a simple errand. It’s fishy."
Xia Jinhai didn’t respond, but deep inside, he thought that Chairman Mao’s motive was suspicious.
Chairman Mao personally asked him to go with these three agents and Mo Zhu to Shen Yuan’s ho— an errand that could be done with just Mo Zhu as the one responsible. He didn’t think deeply at first, but now he could see why his presence was needed.
The sparring and the fight between Shen Yuan and Mo Zhu proved a lot.
It seems like Chairman Mao already thought that sothing like this would happen, and he needed soone to stand in the middle, for example, him.
"Daddy!" A cute, milky voice suddenly ca, pulling Shen Yuan’s attention to the source of that sound.
Yanyan ca back wiggling like a little tube man in his Papa’s arm. Gu Jinpeng and Assistant Su Yifan were behind the father and son.
Shen Yuan wasn’t aware that his son brought him a backup. It’s Bai Tingfeng.
"What is going on? We vaguely heard soone screaming from the study area," Bai Tingfeng approached Shen Yuan and checked sothing on the entire oga’s body.
"Are you okay?"
Shen Yuan puffed an air up to his bangs, "Why would I not be? I just taught your admirer so lessons."
Bai Tingfeng scrunched his forehead, "Who?"
Is this guy for real? Did he forget that Mo Zhu is lusting over him? Or maybe he didn’t know that Mo Zhu ca?
He couldn’t believe this guy because Bai Tingfeng had never been this dense when it was about him.
No matter the reason, Shen Yuan didn’t answer and took Yanyan to sit on his legs. The bad spirit has been sent away, so it’s now okay for the boy to stick around.
He kissed Yanyan on the cheeks and nestled the boy back into his lap.
Bai Tingfeng also helped himself to the seat beside Shen Yuan.
The celestial fox spirit returned to Xia Jinhai to continue where they left off.
"Speaking of this dungeon marshal job. What on earth was Chairman Mao thinking about putting in that position? Care to tell why it’s related to my task of protecting the presud remnants of the Wei Family?"
