Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Lord Ye and the 8th King General...

Afterward, the manager led Lin Xuerou to another area.

"Miss Lin, you can start by studying here for a bit."

The manager looked at Lin Xuerou and got her settled in.

Nearby, another manager walked over. "Lin Feng, what’s up? Got a new recruit?"

Lin Feng looked at the man. ’This guy... How is he suddenly not busy?’

’How does he have time to come chat with me?’

"Old Zhang, how do you suddenly have the time? Haven’t you guys been working around the clock lately? If you don’t, you won’t qualify for the Alliance Leader’s advancement reward."

Those words made the corner of Old Zhang’s mouth twitch.

’This guy!’

’He’s a real master of conversation, always knowing just what to say to tick someone off.’

At that moment, he felt helpless.

After all, he had come to ask for a favor.

"Old Forest, do me a favor. Lend me one of your people."

In an instant, Lin Feng understood the reason for his visit.

’Well, well, well.’

’So you can’t meet the deadline for the advancement reward, and you’ve come to me to borrow someone, huh?’

"I don’t have anyone to spare."

Lin Feng refused him outright.

"I saw her! Didn’t you just get a new recruit? Lend her to me, help me out."

Hearing this, Lin Feng’s eyes widened. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing!

’This guy!’

’So that was his plan all along.’

He immediately pulled Old Zhang aside and looked at him. "You’re quite the schemer, aren’t you? What, you want me to hand this girl over to you and let you work her to the bone?"

"Isn’t that the idea?"

"I wouldn’t be helping you, I’d be ruining you!" Lin Feng said instantly.

After he said that, a look of exasperation crossed Old Zhang’s face.

"You jerk. If you don’t want to help, just say so. Don’t say things like that, acting like it’s true. She’s just a young girl, isn’t she? How could she ruin me?"

As Old Zhang spoke, he waved his hand dismissively and prepared to walk away.

The next moment!

Lin Feng grabbed him.

"I can’t let you accuse me unfairly."

"This girl was personally assigned to me by the Alliance Leader just now!"

"She might even be the Alliance Leader’s future partner! All I can do is assign her some simple learning tasks and take good care of her!"

"If I lent her to you, you’d just work her like a slave."

"Hmph, if she feels wronged, she’ll just turn around and tell the Alliance Leader. And as for you... well, that head of yours..."

These few words made Old Zhang’s eyes go wide. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing!

’Good heavens.’

’So that’s how it is!’

At that thought, he shuddered!

’I almost made a huge mistake!’

’Forget about the advancement reward; I might not even have a head on my shoulders anymore!’

"I had no idea! I’ll be going then. I don’t need anyone. I’ll get back to work. Later, after I’m through this crunch, I’ll buy you a drink!"

Old Zhang was instantly overcome with gratitude, his expression almost comically effusive. After saying his piece to Lin Feng, he hurried away!

「At the same time.」

In the pharmacy.

Ye Yunyi had also finished his work.

He placed the large wine-brewing vat directly into his System Space.

Then, he looked at his gains from this venture.

He couldn’t help but reflect that from now on, he would have a virtually endless supply of medicine.

Afterward, Ye Yunyi stepped directly onto the Qingling Roc’s back.

He headed for the Cyan Ink Barrier!

Upon entering the Cyan Ink Barrier, Ye Yunyi leaped directly off the roc’s back.

He had the Qingling Roc return first.

He arrived at the place where the White Wolf was.

The White Wolf heard a sound and its ears twitched.

Then, it caught Ye Yunyi’s scent.

It padded over to Ye Yunyi.

Seeing Ye Yunyi, it was much more affectionate than the first time they met.

"Looks like what I gave you before wasn’t a waste. You’re not an ungrateful wolf, after all."

Ye Yunyi said this while stroking the White Wolf. Then, with a light step, he mounted it. "Let’s go. Come back with me and get some beast feed."

The White Wolf seemed to understand Ye Yunyi’s words and followed him forward.

Just as they left the jungle, a few members of the Alliance Guard Army spotted the emerging White Wolf.

Then they saw Ye Yunyi on its back.

"Lord Ye!"

"Lord Ye!"

The guards greeted Ye Yunyi.

"Lord Ye, you’re... with the White Wolf?"

"Where are you going?"

"To my manor," Ye Yunyi replied to their questions. "If the Eighth King General asks, just tell her that. She knows about this, after all."

"The Eighth King General is out. We can’t really make a decision on this ourselves, you see..."

As soon as the words were out, the White Wolf, hearing their conversation, lowered its body and let out a low growl.

The threat was all too clear.

Instantly, the corners of the Alliance Guard Army members’ mouths twitched as they looked at the White Wolf!

A chill shot up from the soles of their feet!

Right to the crowns of their heads!

Every hair on their bodies stood on end!

Terrifying!

This was simply too terrifying!

One had to remember, this White Wolf was a powerful Mid-Star Stage Exotic Beast!

In front of it, they were likely no match at all!

They exchanged glances, as if asking each other what to do.

But no one could come up with a plan.

"Alright, just move aside. When the Eighth King General gets back, I’ll tell her myself. The White Wolf will be staying at my place for a while."

With that, Ye Yunyi rode the White Wolf and departed without a backward glance.

After Ye Yunyi was a good distance away, one of the Alliance Guard Army members had a sudden realization. "Wait!"

"Didn’t we hear before that the Eighth King General’s White Wolf only lets the Eighth King General ride it?"

"So what’s going on now?!"

Instantly, everyone’s eyes widened, and they all froze in astonishment!

’That’s right!’

’That’s exactly right. Previously, a high-ranking member of the Alliance Guard Army, a Late-Star Stage expert, was ordered by the Eighth King General to ride the White Wolf on an errand!’

’In the end, he nearly got into a fight with the White Wolf!’

’The White Wolf is only supposed to let the Eighth King General ride it!’

’But now!’

’It’s weird, just too weird!’

The group thought about it for a long time before one of the Alliance Guard Army members swallowed hard. "Could it be... that Lord Ye is carrying the Eighth King General’s scent?"

"He smells like the Eighth King General?"

Huh?!

’What are you trying to say?’

The men were stunned!

Then, the man next to him rushed over and covered his mouth. ’What the hell are you saying?!’

"Do you have a death wish? Even if it’s true, if the Eighth King General found out you said that out loud, you’d be in for a world of hurt!"

After he said that, the man also thought to himself.

’Even if it’s true, it wouldn’t be Lord Ye carrying the Eighth King General’s scent. It would be the Eighth King General carrying Lord Ye’s!’

’Either way!’

’Lord Ye is just too incredible!’

’To be with the Eighth King General!’

Seeing everyone’s looks of dawning comprehension, the man whispered, "Don’t any of you spread this around. If these rumors get out of hand, we’ll all be in for it when the Eighth King General returns."

Hearing their captain’s words, they all nodded hastily.

After all, this was a matter of grave importance!
