Li Yuejin interrupted Cheng Zhanpeng’s words and said solemnly, "Zhanpeng, what’s done is done, there’s no point in talking about what ifs."
"The urgent matter right now is how to deal with Mr. Liang."
Li Yuejin turned his head to look at Zhuang Shuyuan and asked, "Miss Zhuang, what did Mr. Liang say before you came back?"
Zhuang Shuyuan glanced at Li Yuejin and said, "He said he would send people over to take over all the resources of the Martial King Pavilion, and everyone would be under his management."
Li Yuejin’s eyes flickered slightly, he nodded slightly without saying anything.
Seeing this, Zhuang Shuyuan felt a slight jump in her heart, sensing some bad premonition.
Li Yuejin was an old member of the Martial King Pavilion and the only one who could draw a Water-Repelling Rune.
His importance goes without saying, if he wanted to replace her and defect to Liang Yuan, then...
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt an urgent sense.
Scanning the people present, she felt even more downcast.
Among those present, there was no one who could take the lead, not even anyone who could rival Li Yuejin.
This made some of her plans difficult to implement.
"Teacher Li, Teacher Li, some Superpower Users have come from outside, saying they are under orders from Mr. Liang, asking us to go see him."
A Speed Ability User rushed in, his face full of panic, and said hurriedly.
Everyone’s expressions changed immediately.
Everyone instinctively looked towards Zhuang Shuyuan.
Zhuang Shuyuan also looked panicked; without Wu Meng, she had lost her confidence. For more chapters visit n0velfire.net
At this moment, Li Yuejin stepped out and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, if it’s a blessing, it’s not a curse; if it’s a curse, we can’t avoid it. If we want to survive in Yangshan, we must face this reality."
"Yangshan is not the same as it was yesterday."
"Now we can only survive by relying on others. The fact that Mr. Liang can defeat Brother Meng, defeat Tu Long, and kill Li Yuefeng shows he’s capable of a massacre."
"But he hasn’t done that, clearly not having such intentions."
"Based on my previous observations in the Fire Bamboo Forest, he should be a leader similar to Brother Meng, not a bloodthirsty person. He may not necessarily trouble us."
Everyone looked at Li Yuejin and began to discuss among themselves.
"Teacher Li is right, last time in the Fire Bamboo Forest, Zhao Kai and Ding Yan didn’t seem like bad people; everyone chatted quite well."
"Yes, Mr. Liang isn’t actually bad, contrary to that, I feel he’s much more approachable than Li Yuefeng or Tu Long."
"Looking at their camp back then, the regular survivors had a lot of trust in him; his prestige is quite high."
"Yes, his prestige isn’t like Tu Long or Li Yuefeng’s, built forcibly on power but genuinely respected and trusted by the shelter survivors."
"This shows Mr. Liang might indeed be a trustworthy good person."
"I say, let’s go and see for ourselves."
"Mr. Liang probably won’t completely exterminate us."
"Yes, Yangshan is so big, he should be able to accommodate us."
"Teacher Li, please say something, we all follow your lead."
Everyone spoke one after another, all eyes on Li Yuejin.
Li Yuejin nodded slightly and was about to speak when Zhuang Shuyuan suddenly spoke first, "Everyone, I think there’s no need to rush, let’s first see what Mr. Liang intends to do."
"Based on my observations of Mr. Liang, he isn’t a ruthless person. He said in the Gouwu Pavilion, right before Brother Meng and me, that he wouldn’t trouble us."
"He simply wants us to obey his rules and accept his management."
"Everyone rest assured, no matter what, I will negotiate a good outcome for us."
She spoke earnestly, seeming genuinely concerned for everyone.
However, Li Yuejin stood by, his gaze deep.
Zhuang Shuyuan suddenly turned back, smiled at him, and said, "Teacher Li, don’t you agree?"
Li Yuejin smiled; he knew well about Zhuang Shuyuan’s superpower to see into people’s hearts.
He suspected she had already ’seen’ his thoughts.
So he simply smiled and said, "Since Miss Zhuang wants to represent everyone, then Miss Zhuang shall take the lead."
"I certainly have no objections, haha."
Zhuang Shuyuan was stunned; her superpower sensed Li Yuejin’s spoken words were genuine.
There was no hint of lying.
For a moment, Zhuang Shuyuan was puzzled.
She didn’t comprehend what was in his mind.
She naturally didn’t understand that Li Yuejin knew whoever steps out isn’t that crucial.
No one knew how Mr. Liang would arrange the Martial King Pavilion next, so being a forerunner now wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
Of course, when it was time to show his importance, he wouldn’t hide.
As long as Mr. Liang wanted to use the people of the Martial King Pavilion, he would need to choose someone to manage them.
Li Yuejin wanted to vie for this position to replace Zhuang Shuyuan.
At this moment, Zhuang Shuyuan didn’t have time to think much and turned to everyone, saying, "Let’s all go out and meet them."
Having said that, everyone followed Zhuang Shuyuan out of the Martial King Pavilion.
They saw Han Xiangman with Uncle Ge, Xia Ming, and Luo Hongmian already waiting outside.
Seeing Han Xiangman and the others, Zhuang Shuyuan stepped forward with a smile, "Sorry to keep you waiting, please come inside."
Han Xiangman was unmoved, looking at the elegant woman before her, secretly admiring her temperament and appearance, but remained cold and said, "No need, Mr. Liang has instructed us to inform you that all Superpower Users of the Martial King Pavilion are to immediately head to the Fire Bamboo Forest to meet him."
Zhuang Shuyuan’s smile froze, anger flaring in her heart; who dared talk to her for so long?
But she had no choice now, forced to smile, "In that case, let’s go now."
"Teacher Li, gather all the awakened Superpower Users, and get ready to leave."
Li Yuejin ignored Zhuang Shuyuan, instead looking at Han Xiangman and said, "Miss Han, according to Mr. Liang’s orders, we’ve voluntarily packed all resources. Would you like to check them or should we bring them directly?"
Han Xiangman glanced at Li Yuejin, then at Zhuang Shuyuan’s unpleasant expression.
As a leader herself, how could she not notice the subtle relationship between these two?
She smiled, "Bring everything along; all will be handled by Mr. Liang."
