Chapter 685: What Use Are You?

~7 min read 1,346 words

Xu Tian was indifferent to Zhong Yu's coquetry.

"Your guts are getting bigger and bigger."

"It was clearly this tiger aunt who started the trouble first, why don't you scold her?" Zhong Yu glared at Zhong Ling unconvinced.

Zhong Ling couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her and dragged her by the collar toward the outside of the council chamber.

"What are you doing? I still want to reminisce with Brother Yi!" Zhong Yu struggled desperately.

"Don't make noise, I have something to tell you!"

Zhong Ling said this and pushed Zhong Yu out, then closed the council chamber door behind her.

Xu Tian looked at the two little girls who disappeared at the council chamber entrance, and only then did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Originally, one Zhong Ling was already hard to deal with, and now there was another Zhong Yu.

Although Zhong Yu's mind wasn't as deep as Zhong Ling's, she was still a person who had followed the Wolf King. As long as he was slightly careless, he would be exposed in front of the two.

What's more, there were no simple characters among the people in the Azure Wolf Hall. Don't look at this little girl's innocent and lively appearance in front of him; perhaps these were all illusions she showed in front of the Wolf King.

It was just that this little girl didn't suspect his identity for the time being, unlike Zhong Ling who had been guarding against him.

At this moment, Zhong Ling took Zhong Yu out. Xu Tian didn't need to guess to know what she would say to the other party. It was probably that his identity was suspicious, telling Zhong Yu not to trust him completely, and other such warnings.

Xu Tian thought that he had finally managed to fool one person, but he might fall short because of Zhong Ling, and he wished he could escape from this ghost place immediately.

At the same time, Zhong Ling and Zhong Yu were standing in the corridor on the 18th floor.

Zhong Yu looked at the girl in front of her very impatiently.

"Speak if you have something to say, I still want to reminisce with Brother Yi, I don't have time to deal with you!"

"He is not necessarily Brother," Zhong Ling said coldly.

"Not Brother?"

Zhong Yu was stunned for a moment, then retorted angrily: "Stop pretending here, he is Brother Yi! It's impossible for me to recognize him wrong!"

"Usually, my relationship with Brother Yi is the best, and we are inseparable. If we talk about Brother Yi's identity, apart from Jiang Chuan, I am the one with the most say in the entire Azure Wolf Hall! Just now Jiang Chuan has already confirmed it, he is Brother Yi, absolutely true. What are you still doubting?"

Zhong Yu identified him as the long-missing Wolf King the moment she saw Xu Tian. Even if Brother Yi's appearance and personality had changed slightly, her feeling wouldn't be wrong. This person must be Brother Yi!

"He has many suspicious points," Zhong Ling said with a cold face. "You shouldn't trust him easily."

"What suspicious points? I think you just can't stand me being close to Brother Yi!" Zhong Yu curled her lips impatiently, "If he wasn't Brother Yi, how could he know Brother Yi's unique secret skills? If he wasn't Brother Yi, how could he get Jiang Chuan's approval?"

"Zhong Ling, stop acting like you're the smartest and everyone else is an idiot all day long. If we talk about the relationship with Brother Yi, I am closer than you. I can guarantee that he is Brother Yi, genuine and authentic!"

"If you keep being suspicious all day, be careful that Brother Yi abandons you and finds another protector who is prettier and more talented than you!"

"What's true can't be fake, and what's fake can never become true." Zhong Ling couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her and left a sentence before turning away.

Zhong Yu, who remained in place, had a face full of question marks.

"You, this tiger aunt, are just suspicious. If you suspect, then just suspect. If you anger Brother Yi, let's see what you do!"

The council chamber returned to silence, and Xu Tian could take a temporary sigh of relief.

Now that he had just returned to the Azure Wolf Hall headquarters, tests like the one just now would probably happen often.

The Wolf King who had been missing for many years suddenly returned. It was impossible for the internal organization not to have anyone other than Zhong Ling who was suspicious of his identity.

Just when Xu Tian was letting his imagination run wild, footsteps came from outside the corridor again, followed by a knock on the council chamber door.

Xu Tian immediately adjusted his state and said coldly: "Come in."

"Subordinate greets the Wolf King!"

Dozens of Azure Wolf Hall high-level members filed in, all looking at Xu Tian with hidden expressions.

"Sit," Xu Tian waved his hand at them expressionlessly.

After dozens of high-level members were seated, the middle-aged man at the head spoke: "Sir, you have finally returned. During the time you were away from the headquarters, other families and gangs on Wuji Island have become more and more unbridled, and there are also some traitors within who have risen with rebellious hearts, trying to cause division."

"Now our Azure Wolf Hall is full of internal and external troubles and crises. We need you to come out of the rivers and lakes to preside over the overall situation. According to your meaning, what should we do next?"

Xu Tian listened to the middle-aged man's words without changing his expression. He knew clearly that this person was pushed out by many high-level members to test him, and there was no lack of Zhong Ling's handiwork behind it.

The real Wolf King would naturally easily give an effective solution, but if it was an impostor who didn't understand the pattern of the dark forces on Wuji Island, not only would he not be able to come up with any strategies that would make people applaud, but he would also expose his identity.

Under the expectant gazes of many high-level members, Xu Tian didn't give a plan immediately, but said with a cold face: "I went out to handle business and handed the Azure Wolf Hall to you, and this is how you handle things for me?"

The high-level members present were shocked, and their eyes dodged.

Xu Tian continued: "Are you coming over now because you want me to clean up your mess?"

"Subordinate doesn't dare..." The middle-aged man who spoke just now replied tremblingly, "Sir, this can't all be blamed on us. After all, the headquarters didn't have you sitting in town, which gave other families and gangs an opportunity."

"Some people within us have wolfish ambitions and have also moved thoughts they shouldn't have. Although we want to share your worries, our ability is limited..." Another high-level member opposite explained.

"So you mean all of this is my fault?" Xu Tian's eyes turned cold, and he slammed the table, "Since everything has to be decided by me, then what use are you?"

"Sir, calm your anger!"

"Sir, calm your anger!"

Everyone around was so scared that they didn't even dare to breathe, including the high-level member who had just defended himself, who hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Subordinate absolutely has no intention of blaming you, it's just that we really can't make up our minds at the moment..."

"I want your solution, not excuses for shirking responsibility," Xu Tian knocked on the table and said coldly, "Useless things, all learn from me! First give me the list of traitors within the Azure Wolf Hall, and then organize the detailed information of the gangs that have been making waves during the time I was away."

"Sir, do you want to eradicate all these traitors and forces that are against us?" Zhong Yu's eyes lit up.

"I have my own arrangements." ===== CHAPTER 686 =====
