Why Does He Get to Be the Boss? I Refuse to Accept It!

Even Lin Yuyan's expression stiffened.

Why did everything Xu Ye said make people so uncomfortable?

"This kid is way too good at putting on airs." Zhao Heng clenched his fists even tighter.

Xu Ye's performance made him extremely uncomfortable.

At that moment, even Lü Tao and Du Yuanxiu exchanged glances. Both could see the confusion in each other's eyes.

He had practiced and practiced, then somehow entered the beginner stage?

Then what had all their painstaking research and desperate training back then been for?

Were they just asking for it?

Comparing people really could make one so angry they died!

Xu Ye's talent was truly horrifying.

And yet Old Xu had previously said that this kid had been born with blocked martial veins and couldn't cultivate.

Wasn't that just a joke?

"Old Xu hid this kid too deeply," Lü Tao could not help saying.

Du Yuanxiu deeply agreed.

Yet at the same time, he was happy for Xu Ye.

With such talent in the Demon-Suppression Bureau, so long as he did not die, he would surely accomplish great things in the future.

His prospects were so bright they could keep one awake at night!

With that in mind, Du Yuanxiu took a breath and looked at Xu Ye. "Fine! Though you've entered the beginner stage in saber techniques, you cannot grow arrogant and complacent. You must continue practicing diligently. Remember, there are always people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens."

Everyone had their own secrets and peculiarities, and he had no desire to dig to the root of the matter.

Xu Ye nodded slightly. "I understand."

Then he said somewhat awkwardly, "It's just that the training ground has been turned into this. I can't afford to compensate for it either!"

The moment Zhao Heng heard this, it was as though he had seized upon something. He immediately said with glee, "Just because you can't afford it, you don't have to pay?"

"Your nerve is really something, isn't it?"

This kid was so full of himself. No matter what, Zhao Heng had to make him suffer this time.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ye truly wanted to smash his fist into the guy's face.

Was he done yet?

Du Yuanxiu, meanwhile, glanced at Zhao Heng before looking at Xu Ye. "Who said you needed to compensate for it?"

"This training ground was specially built for the cultivation needs of us Demon-Suppression Guards. People inspect, replace, and maintain it on schedule every day. If it breaks, it breaks."

"When the time comes, someone will replace and repair it."

The moment Du Yuanxiu said this, Zhao Heng's smug expression froze.

He didn't need to pay?

Then why had Du Yuanxiu reacted so strongly just now if he didn't need to pay?

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something.

His face immediately fell.

So by calling Xu Ye out just now, he had instead created an opportunity for Xu Ye to show off?

Otherwise, who the hell would have known he had entered the beginner stage in saber techniques?

Damn it!

"Why did I have to open my mouth?" Zhao Heng regretted it beyond measure, wishing he could slap himself.

He had handed that kid a chance to show off for nothing.

Damn it!

"Thank you, sir!" Xu Ye was slightly stunned when he heard that, then suddenly smiled.

As long as he did not have to pay, everything was fine.

He had no money.

Du Yuanxiu smiled faintly, then turned his gaze toward the others. "All right! This matter ends here. Today is your first day on duty, so I'll briefly explain a few things to you."

At those words, everyone instantly fell silent.

Only then did Du Yuanxiu continue. "First, since you have only just begun your duties, you have one chance to choose freely."

"Our Demon-Suppression Bureau is divided into two sections. One is the Demon-Suppression Guards. We are responsible for carrying out missions and slaying the demons and monsters that wreak havoc."

"The other section is the Demon-Patrol Guards. Their duty is to gather intelligence and assist us Demon-Suppression Guards in slaying demons and monsters."

"You may choose one of these two sections. But no matter which you choose, you will be serving the Demon-Suppression Bureau."

In truth, the Demon-Suppression Bureau had a third section: Tranquility Hall.

It was the logistics division of the Demon-Suppression Bureau, responsible for supplying all personnel with their daily necessities.

However, that division could not be chosen.

Only certain special people could enter it.

For example, the special pardon writ Xu Ye had possessed earlier would allow someone to enter.

They called it logistics, but in reality, it was a place to go and enjoy oneself.

Once Du Yuanxiu finished speaking, quite a few people began making their choices.

After all, they had already done their homework. How could they hesitate now?

Xu Ye also said, "I choose the Demon-Suppression Guards."

The Demon-Suppression Guards only needed to head out on missions from time to time.

They did not need to remain outside at all times.

The Demon-Patrol Guards, on the other hand, needed to carry out missions for extended periods.

It could be a long time before they returned home even once.

He still had a younger sister. He could not bear not going home.

After he made his choice, Lin Yuyan also spoke. "I choose the Demon-Suppression Guards too."

Zhao Heng, that little tagalong, also chose to join the Demon-Suppression Guards.

Very quickly, all thirteen people had made their choices.

Six chose to become Demon-Suppression Guards.

The others became Demon-Patrol Guards.

Those who became Demon-Patrol Guards were taken away by the people responsible for them.

Though their names differed, everyone's official rank remained unchanged.

Soon, only Xu Ye, Du Yuanxiu, and the other eight remained in the training ground.

Seeing this, Du Yuanxiu said, "The duties of us Demon-Suppression Guards are simple. Aside from necessary missions outside, we have another duty: patrolling the streets!"

"We must ensure the safety of the people in White Cloud County and keep them from being ravaged by demons and monsters."

"Of the six of you remaining, divide yourselves into two groups. Each group will patrol a street, and both will fall under my command."

Upon hearing this, aside from Xu Ye, Lin Yuyan, and Zhao Heng, the other three swiftly came to an agreement and formed a group.

Du Yuanxiu did not waste words. After having them choose a leader among themselves, he let them leave.

After the other three had left, Du Yuanxiu looked at Xu Ye's group. "Then the three of you will form your own group."

Neither Xu Ye nor Lin Yuyan had any objections.

Zhao Heng immediately became displeased. "Why do I have to be in the same group as this kid?"

He found Xu Ye very unpleasant.

Naturally, he did not want to be in the same group as Xu Ye.

Du Yuanxiu said, "You have no choice."

The moment he heard that, Zhao Heng flew into a rage.

He had never suffered such indignity at the county yamen.

Yet here, he had been made to swallow one insult after another. He was finding it hard to endure.

Just as he was about to say something, Lin Yuyan spoke. "If you don't want to be in a group with us, you can form a group by yourself."

At those words, Zhao Heng's face fell. He hurriedly said, "Yuyan, that's not what I meant. I mean, the two of us can be a group. What qualifications does this kid have to be with us?"

Lin Yuyan said, "Reporting to you, sir, I am willing to be in a group with Xu Ye."

The moment she said that, Zhao Heng's expression became extremely ugly.

What did Lin Yuyan mean by that?

But he reacted quickly and immediately said, "Since Yuyan is willing, then I'll reluctantly be in a group with him too."

Xu Ye glanced at him and cursed inwardly. What the hell is wrong with him?

There was definitely something wrong with this guy's head.

His head must have been caught in a door when he was little.

Du Yuanxiu nodded slightly. "In that case, the three of you will form a group. When you patrol the streets in the future, Xu Ye will lead you. In all matters, he will be the primary one. As for anything else, Xu Ye will report directly to me."

His meaning was obvious: Xu Ye was the boss of this group.

Lin Yuyan had no objections. Xu Ye's strength was right there for all to see.

What could she say?

When Zhao Heng heard that, he refused to accept it again.

He immediately jumped up and roared, "Why?"

"Why does he get to be the boss?"

"I refuse to accept it!"
