644 A New Captain Today
Ye Chenglin had already implicated several people. They hoped she would not affect Old Jiang too. He was quite an honest and capable person.
“How will it affect me?” Old Jiang rolled his eyes and looked at them.
“I’m just an ordinary guardian. I just have to do my job. It doesn’t matter who becomes the captain.
“Besides, we have no reason to feel sorry for Ye Chengzong. If he really wants to stay here, he should know his place and consider whether his sister is worth protecting.”
He had been thinking about Ye Chengzong’s complaints the entire night. The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became.
Ye Chengzong wouldn’t have made those sudden remarks if he hadn’t already harbored such thoughts. Hence, he was already dissatisfied with their Master and Mistress.
He merely did not display any dissatisfaction, so no one could tell.
Ye Chengzong said those things because he lost control of his emotions last night when he heard that Ye Chenglin had left with Ming Fucheng. He had to have regretted it later, right?
Old Jiang saw Ye Chengzong this morning. He looked calm again, as if he did not care about the news that he was no longer the captain.
In the past, he would have believed that Ye Chengzong really did not care if he was the captain. However, he would not believe so now.
“But his position as the captain was taken away just like that.”
The two of them could not help but grumble. If they were in Ye Chengzong’s shoes, they would not be content with having the captaincy taken away from them like that.
How could they accept it as quickly as Ye Chengzong did, given that he showed no signs of temper at all?
“Ye Chengzong really doesn’t care about fame and fortune. Don’t you find it strange?”
Upon hearing that, Old Jiang glanced at them.
It would be great if Ye Chengzong truly did not care about fame and fortune, as they claimed. However, Old Jiang was afraid that beneath the surface hid a heart that could be either red or black.
“Master was the one who gave him the position of captain. Now that he has found someone more suitable, it’s normal for him to take it back. A high position belongs to the capable. Don’t you think Yan Qin is more capable than Ye Chengzong?”
“That’s true.” They nodded.
He was right. Yan Qin was impressive. They had to admit that.
“Don’t say ‘but’ anymore. It’s about time. We should set off for the swamp.” Old Jiang looked at the sky.
It was getting late. They should return to the swamp and continue killing their demonic beasts.
“What’s the hurry? Everyone is waiting for Captain Yan Qin. We have a new captain today. We have to go with him, right?” They turned around and looked at the tent nearby. It was Yan Qin’s tent.
They had seen Ye Chengzong enter and did not know what they were talking about.
After Ye Chengzong entered Yan Qin’s tent, he stared at him indifferently for a long time before shutting his eyes and reopening them.
“Yan Qin, who was the one who wanted to replace the captain of the swamp? Was it Master or Mistress?” he asked.
He had never imagined that he would be stripped of his captaincy or that Yan Qin, who had always regarded him as his savior, would be the one to replace him.
