It’s a pity that Xingyuan’s answer to him was exactly the same as the one he gave to Lin Xin.
"Ah."
Long Haochen didn't know what to say about this. He could only nod and call on his teammates to follow Xing Yuan and their team and set off for Xingxun City.
"Haochen, let me give you a little advice."
Just as Long Haochen turned over and rode on Haoyue, he received a voice transmission from Xingyuan, "You are the leader, it is not okay for the people under you to be disobedient or unconvinced.
Look at my behavior these past few days. Has anyone in our team said anything?"
It is indeed true what Xingyuan said.
Long Haochen was silent for a while. Although his IQ would drop and he would become a straight man with zero EQ when facing girls' thoughts, his brain was still very sharp at other times. Especially since he had old fox elders like Ye Hua and Han Qian to guide him, he understood Xing Yuan's words immediately.
But in his opinion, even if he knew that Dian Yan of the team did not obey his command and leadership, what could he do?
Dian Yan is the oldest among the members of the No. 22 Demon Hunting Group. This is more than once that he has taken advantage of his seniority and acted on his own.
Moreover, he was the one who had the most complaints against Lin Xin in the team, looking down on him as a fire magician who could only make medicine but couldn't go to the battlefield...
"Don't be in a daze, Haochen."
Long Haochen was thinking about something when he suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder. Fortunately, it was Dian Yan.
"Their team has gone far away, hurry up and catch up..."
……
After entering Xingxun City, after Xingyuan and his group had dealt with the strong horses they had for their journey, Dian Yan suggested that they all go to the hotel to rest, and he would be responsible for contacting free merchants who could give them a ride.
"I'll go with you."
Long Haochen kept thinking about what Xingyuan had said to him along the way, and then tried to imagine what he would do if Xingyuan was the one leading the team?
Seeing that Dian Yan didn't even discuss it with him this time and was going to act alone, Long Haochen couldn't sit still anymore.
"Haochen, are you coming too?"
Dian Yan's brows were obviously furrowed, but he did not reject Long Haochen's request. He nodded reluctantly, "Okay, but you have never dealt with those free merchants, so it's better not to talk later..."
As Dian Yan was speaking, she heard Xingyuan's voice from the side, which sounded quite agreeable, but it also made people feel inexplicably unhappy.
"Yes, yes. Haochen, as the leader, you just need to stand aside. This smoking brother has a lot to consider."
"My name is Dian Yan."
Dian Yan's face became even uglier, but apart from emphasizing his name to Xingyuan, he didn't dare say anything else.
Obviously, even though he was rebellious, he was not completely brainless. He knew how big the gap between him and Xingyuan was, not to mention that there was Cai'er who was even stronger than him and was eyeing him covetously...
Noticing that Long Haochen was looking at him for help, as if asking him whether it was necessary for him to act with Dian Yan now, Xing Yuan replied without thinking, "It's up to you," and then took Cai'er and others to a nearby hotel to get a room to rest.
You have to know that Long Haochen is the great hero who will save the world in the future. How can he be so indecisive that he subconsciously thinks of seeking help from him when encountering problems?
...Long Haochen thought about it again and again, and finally decided to go with Dian Yan.
Without Long Haochen as the head of the regiment, the power of command naturally fell into the hands of Xing Yuan temporarily.
Dian Yan, the biggest troublemaker, is not here, and two of the remaining five people are acquaintances of Xingyuan, so Xingyuan will naturally have no difficulty in managing them.
Even Han Yu, who joined their team as Long Haochen's squire knight, was respectful to Xing Yuan, a strong man who could easily defeat his master.
Since Xingxun City is located on the border of the Temple Alliance and is dozens of miles away from the southeast fortress where the Warrior Temple headquarters is located, the atmosphere here is destined to be quite different from any city that Xingyuan and others have visited before.
Coupled with the fact that there are also free merchants who operate in a gray area, the local customs are destined to be relatively tough. There are even some human-demon hybrids with unclear demonic features living here.
For safety reasons, Xingyuan also asked him and team member No. 22 to rest in a room in pairs so that they could look after each other.
However, just when the members of General Level 22 were somewhat surprised that Xingyuan, who had always looked like an "idle person" along the way, actually had such a side...
After checking in the room, he took the key and left with Cai'er, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Ying'er, we are all girls, and we are already so familiar with each other, there is nothing to avoid suspicion."
Li Xin suggested that the four of them get a room to rest. After all, Yue Mingnan and Chen Ying'er, two legal staff members, would be better off with her and Wang Yuanyuan accompanying them in a place like this.
Chen Ying'er naturally had no reason to refuse, but when she was about to agree.
The little pig McDull in her arms made a humming sound, and then pointed with his small and clean pig's trotters at the figures of Xingyuan and Caier who were already walking up the stairs.
Chen Ying'er calmly pressed down its trotter...
Li Xin and the others were silent. After all, they were not fools and had already noticed something more or less. Especially Li Xin, she almost went insane during her practice because of this incident.
"It doesn't matter. We are just meditating in the room anyway, not chatting."
Yue Mingnan noticed Chen Ying'er's embarrassment and came out to smooth things over.
But Chen Ying'er had another plan. She noticed a familiar face on Long Haochen's team and said, "I'd better share a room with Li Xiaomo. She's the only girl on their team."
"You two summoners..."
Li Xin naturally noticed the girl who looked about the same age as Chen Ying'er, but after all, they were both lawyers, so if something happened...
"I'll go with them."
Wang Yuanyuan said.
……
Looking back at his own members who had immediately handled everything in an orderly manner, Xingyuan nodded with satisfaction.
And it turns out that the summoner member of Long Haochen's team was named Li Xiaomo. She was the girl who talked to Xingyuan when he was choosing a human partner for Long Haochen's light elemental elf in the exorcism level.
Xingyuan has a good memory, so he has an impression of this female summoner who appeared in the original plot line, especially since she made Yang Wenzhao suffer a setback in the selection competition, which made Xingyuan even more impressed. (End of this chapter)
