Chapter 149 Gao Yingjie sees the team's trick

The carriage drove quickly through the streets of Exorcist City without stopping, and the mission was completed only when the ten new demon hunting groups were brought to the Exorcist Pass Military District.

This was Xingyuan's first time to the Exorcist Camp. After all, in the past, both Shengyue and Shenglingxin took him to the Assassin's Temple headquarters through secret passages.

"What were you doing in the carriage?"

As soon as he got off the carriage, Gao Yingjie came up to him, looked at Xingyuan thoughtfully and asked.

"nothing."

For some reason, Xingyuan didn't feel guilty at all when facing Gao Yingjie. Was it because the other party had nothing to do with him and both of them were men?
"Really?"

Gao Yingjie looked at Xingyuan with some doubt.

Although he had no habit of eavesdropping, the noise in Xingyuan's carriage just now was quite loud, and he did hear some words.

"I know it's not easy to lead such a demon hunting team, especially when you are the only male member in the whole team. It is particularly important to handle the relationship with your teammates well."

Gao Yingjie is not a fool. He has been in the Demon Hunting Organization for so many years. What kind of people and things has he not seen?
Although he did not have an in-depth understanding of the specific situation of each member of the new demon hunting team he led this year, after nearly half a month of observation, he was able to discover a lot of tricks.

"I see."

Although he knew clearly what Gao Yingjie meant by this, Xingyuan still responded without blushing or beating his heart, "Please rest assured, leader."

"I have also worked for the Demon Hunters for more than ten years. I know that most members of the Demon Hunters are under great mental pressure. It is normal for their private relationships to be more or less complicated, but you must be careful not to let emotional problems affect the harmony within the team... At the very least, there will be constant infighting and disunity, and in serious cases, it may even lead to the destruction of the team."

Gao Yingjie was almost telling Xingyuan to mind his own business.

Xingyuan felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, but Gao Yingjie also meant well, so he nodded and replied: "I will pay attention, leader."

"Row."

Although he was not optimistic that such a demon hunting team with a serious imbalance in the ratio of men to women could go far in the future, Gao Yingjie, as the team leader, could not interfere too much and could only serve as a reminder and warning.

"Let's go."

Seeing that everyone had gathered, Gao Yingjie did not continue talking to Xingyuan, and directly took everyone to the meeting room of the Executive Hall of the Exorcist Pass to meet up with the rest of the new demon hunting team that had already arrived.

"The military chief of Exorcist Pass will come to speak to you next. He will give you more details about the various matters concerning this team competition. Remember to listen carefully."

Gao Yingjie stood next to Xingyuan. "I will go to coordinate with other Templar Knights stationed at the Assassin's Temple. I will only come to your side during the team competition."

After saying that, Gao Yingjie stood up and was about to leave.

"Team leader, what if something happens to you?" Xingyuan grinned and asked Gao Yingjie. Gao Yingjie's face immediately fell when he saw this, obviously remembering that he had lost the bet with these new demon hunters and needed to help them pay back the lost bet three times.

But Xingyuan is quite smart and knows that these things cannot be said in front of other people.

"You can find any knight from the Exorcist Gate, as long as you think his words carry weight here." After Gao Yingjie finished speaking, he did not give Xingyuan any chance to speak again, and strode out of the meeting room.

Xingyuan shrugged his shoulders when he saw this. Is he the kind of person who would fleece people to death?

The team members with Sergeant No. 1 took their seats one by one. Xingyuan sat in the first row, and Cai'er and others sat behind him.

Those sitting in the front row were the captains of the new demon hunting teams, and their seats were arranged according to the team numbers, so the person sitting next to Xingyuan was Huang Yi, the captain of the No. 2 soldier-level demon hunting team. As for the person sitting next to Huang Yi, it was naturally Long Haochen.

"Brother Xingyuan."

Huang Yi has learned from Lin Chen that the reason why he was able to successfully obtain the second-level Yancheng Spirit Furnace was entirely because Xingyuan had not yet selected the spirit furnace rewards, which allowed him to pick up this leak.

Since both of them are earth elemental mages, Huang Yi knows more about Xingyuan than anyone else. He knows that Xingyuan's strength is completely on a world level with magicians of the same level. He also knows how well the Yancheng Spirit Furnace in the treasure house of the Magic Temple fits the abilities currently displayed by Xingyuan, which is like adding wings to a tiger.

Therefore, Huang Yi did not hold out much hope at that time that he could win the Yancheng Spirit Furnace as a reward for his outstanding performance in this Demon Hunting Team Selection Competition. Moreover, even Lin Chen, the deputy hall master, told him clearly at that time that the Yancheng Spirit Furnace would be much more useful in Xingyuan's hands than in his.

The Magic Temple is such a cruel and competitive place, and Huang Yi himself is well aware of it. So after expressing his love for the Yancheng Spirit Furnace, he selected another spirit furnace that is much inferior to the Yancheng Spirit Furnace as a backup option for the reward from the Magic Temple.

But Xingyuan actually gave him the Yancheng Spirit Furnace in the end. Something that Huang Yi never dared to dream of actually happened in reality.

Unfortunately, what Huang Yi didn't know was that Xingyuan was not being merciful and giving him the second-level Yancheng Spirit Furnace out of consideration for his loss of both his wife and his army in this Demon Hunting Team selection competition. Instead, the other party simply didn't think highly of this spirit furnace.

Seeing Huang Yi thanking him with red eyes and a look of gratitude, he said that as long as Xingyuan could use him in the future, he could use him at will.

Xingyuan smiled and did not refuse. Obviously, he did not expect that his small and unintentional action would make others owe him such a huge favor.

"Don't worry about it. What if the next time the Temple receives a first-class or even special-class earth-type spiritual furnace?"

It is not enough to just think like this in the heart. Xingyuan needs to add a little language skills to make Huang Yi accept his favor and make it more and more important in the other party's heart as the years go by.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Huang Yi is not an ungrateful person who can never be tamed.

Otherwise, all the time and energy Xingyuan has spent on the supporting role of Huang Yi would have been in vain.

Although Xingyuan had no intention of serving in the Magic Temple and getting involved in the intrigues among the six major temples, he still had the necessary means and connections.
