Master Hidden Mysteries failed to see Gold Badge Commander Xiao Xuan after all.
He waited for a whole hour, but what he waited for was only one of the personal guards beside the commander.
What the personal guards brought was not some kind of comfort or explanation, but a cold and devoid of emotion.
"The Commander-in-Chief said that Master Master Hidden Mysteries has worked hard and achieved great results. He has been exhausted mentally and physically recently, so he should take a good rest. Hidden Mysteries Corps will be responsible for the affairs, and Lin Feng will act as his agent for the time being. No one can make any mistakes."
These words, like Nine Heavens ice, instantly extinguished the last trace of fantasy in Master Hidden Mysteries's heart.
Dejected, he returned to his courtyard, which now seemed a little deserted, and slumped down on a chair. For the first time, his old face, which had always prided itself on being clever and resourceful, showed confusion and... a chill to the bone.
He couldn't figure out where he went wrong?
In terms of qualifications, he is the veteran who watched Xiao Xuan rise from Silver Badge Envoy to the leadership position step by step.
In terms of ability, he has taken care of the entire Hidden Mysteries Corps in an orderly manner, and has not made any mistakes in decades.
When it comes to loyalty, he has never had a second heart.
But why would the commander-in-chief beat himself up so ruthlessly for a young boy who had just joined the company less than half a year ago?
Is it just because you are closer to the Zhao Family?
But in this Azure Prefecture, which senior executive doesn't have contacts with the family?
If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Does he Xiao Xuan not understand this truth?
Master Hidden Mysteries was puzzled. He reviewed everything that happened in the assessment hall over and over again. Every detail and every person's expression flashed rapidly in his mind.
Suddenly, a frightening light flashed through his cloudy old eyes, and his whole body suddenly jumped up from the chair as if struck by lightning!
He figured it out!
He finally figured it out!
"Good... what a move to kill with a borrowed knife! What a Xiao Xuan!"
Master Hidden Mysteries let out a sad, bitter smile, his voice filled with endless sadness and unwillingness.
It turns out that this was a game from the beginning!
A game planned by Gold Badge Commander Xiao Xuan himself against Master Hidden Mysteries!
The idea of "increasing intensity" was not meant for him alone!
Army Breaker has a strong personality, and Red Lotus behaves strangely. Which of these two people is not a fuel-saving lamp?
Xiao Xuan clearly issued similar orders to the three of them, Silver Token Manager, before the assessment!
The purpose is to see who among the three of them will be the first to jump out and be the "knife"!
And because of my personal relationship with the Zhao Family, my contempt for Lin Feng, and my long-suppressed jealousy, I stupidly became the first and only one to jump out!
What's the result?
Lin Feng That kid is a monster that cannot be understood by common sense. He kicked himself on the iron plate and hit his head badly.
Xiao Xuan, on the other hand, justifiably kicked away the "old minister" who was too close to the aristocratic family and had long made him dissatisfied, on the grounds of "revenge for personal reasons and almost burying talented people"!
For the "newcomer" he was really optimistic about, he made a small, not small, but crucial position!
Good idea!
What a good idea!
At this moment, Master Hidden Mysteries felt a cold air rushing from the soles of his feet to Tianling Gai. He finally understood what a huge gap there was between himself and the man who dominated the entire Azure Prefecture Demon Suppression Division.
Just when Master Hidden Mysteries was heartbroken and despairing.
A guard knocked on his door again.
This time, what was brought was still an oral instruction, but the content became somewhat meaningful.
"The commander-in-chief said that the company advocates healthy competition. Only with competition can progress be made. Young people are too sharp and will inevitably be arrogant. It requires experienced old people to constantly hammer and hammer to achieve success. But everything must be within the rules of Demon Suppression Division."
Master Hidden Mysteries was stunned for a moment, and then, a flame called "hope" rekindled in those ashen eyes.
He instantly understood the deeper meaning behind Xiao Xuan's words!
Xiao Xuan is not satisfied with just promoting Lin Feng.
What he wants is to completely and firmly control Lin Feng, the "unparalleled vicious knife" that is sharp enough to cut everyone!
And Lin Feng's indifferent attitude that no one cares about, obviously made Xiao Xuan, the superior, feel unhappy.
Therefore, he needs a "whetstone".
A handful can make Lin Feng feel the pressure and let him know that here Azure Prefecture, he can't do whatever he wants.
A whetstone that can cause trouble, no matter how big or small, at the most critical moment, putting Lin Feng in trouble, forcing him to have to bow his head to himself, the "master in charge," for help!
And I, Master Hidden Mysteries, who had just been kicked off and was full of resentment and unwillingness, was undoubtedly the best candidate for this "whetstone"!
"I understand... I completely understand..."
Master Hidden Mysteries murmured to himself, the expression on his face changed several times in an instant, and finally turned into a cold smile.
"Lord Commander, you want me to be the villain and the touchstone. You sit on the sidelines and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. No matter who among us loses or wins, you will be the winner in the end."
"If Lin Feng wins, I will completely lose my value and be kicked away by you. And you can take advantage of the situation and 'help' Lin Feng solve my trouble, so that he will be grateful to you and completely return to his heart."
"If I were lucky enough to win... no, I couldn't win."
Master Hidden Mysteries shook his head.
He knows very well that even if he can kill Lin Feng.
In the end, Xiao Xuan will intervene.
"In that case..."
Master Hidden Mysteries's eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty.
"Then I can only make a fuss about it on Hidden Dragon Martial Tournament. Even if the matter is exposed, the prince's thunderous intervention can keep me safe..."
Zhao Family mansion.
Since Zhao Kai and Old Man Withered Wood died tragically at Demon Suppression Division Station, this once powerful mansion in the state capital has been shrouded in a dark cloud of death.
In the study room, Zhao Family, the contemporary head of the family, Zhao Wuji, with a livid face, was listening to the report of his servant.
He is the biological father of Zhao Kai, a strong man of Dan Yuan Realm Ninth Layer Peak. He is also a big shot in the entire state capital who makes the ground shake when he stamps his feet.
"Master! That Lin Feng... that Lin Feng has been officially promoted to silver medal, and has also taken over the position of Hidden Mysteries Corps Manager! The commander is extremely partial to him!"
"Bang!"
Zhao Wuji slammed the table, and the desk made of thousand-year-old iron wood instantly turned into powder.
"It's too much to bully! It's simply too much to bully!"
"Kill my beloved son, behead me to enshrine him, and now he dares to climb up in my face, Zhao Family! Does he really think that I, Zhao Family, are made of mud?!"
At this moment, an imperceptible stream of light flew into the study quietly and fell into his hands.
Zhao Wuji When he opened the note and took a look, the scowl on his face instantly solidified, replaced by a cold smile.
"Master Hidden Mysteries... Haha, it seems that even a dog that is cornered can bite."
He faced the shadow behind him and said in a deep voice, "Go and tell Master Hidden Mysteries that I, Zhao Family, followed his plan. Hidden Dragon Martial Tournament... Humph, I want it to become the funeral of that little beast!"
