Elder Ai looked at Gu Yuan with a smile on his face, but his words came a little late.
If Elder Ai wanted rewards earlier, Gu Yuan would definitely ask for more medicinal materials without hesitation.
but.
If it had been before, Elder Ai might not have had this attitude...
They are all human beings!
"Ahem, Elder Ai, forget about rewards or anything like that, but if you can give me a few more of those medicinal materials..."
"What do you want so much for?" Elder Ai asked doubtfully.
"Refining elixirs!" Gu Yuan said, "Those medicinal materials are originally used to make elixirs. They are all consumables. Of course, the more the better."
Elder Ai pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and said: "Your request is not too much. Let's do this. I have made the decision. I can give you an extra portion of the medicinal materials you need. As for the future, if you still need it, just say , in exchange for merit!"
Gu Yuan quickly nodded and agreed.
He already had many meritorious deeds, but now, Gu Yuan's strength is not what it used to be, and he will definitely be able to make even greater merits in the future.
He is not too worried about the future supply of medicinal materials.
Then, Elder Ai said again: "But I think that one code is another code. This time you helped interrogate the Shenhuo members and asked for such important information. You should still be rewarded... Well, I will give you a promotion. How about it?"
"Promotion?" Gu Yuan was slightly startled, suddenly having a bad luck.
"Let's do this. From now on, you will be the Demon Commander of Star Town..."
Before Elder Ai could finish speaking, Gu Yuan quickly said, "You don't want me to be the captain, do you? I can't do that!"
It was already known that Cui Yingxiong did not plan to follow them back to Star City, but would continue to stay in Guanlong Mountain.
Elder Ai suddenly mentioned this, he must have wanted to make Gu Yuan the captain, but for Gu Yuan, this was not a reward, but a kind of torture.
After staying in the first team of the Demon Suppression Division for such a long time, Gu Yuan finally understood that the captain's job was not easy to do, let alone him, so what if it was Cui Yingxiong? Luo Yin also played with him.
Moreover, Gu Yuan was not used to this kind of identity change.
Elder Ai said with a dark face: "I haven't finished speaking yet. Why are you anxious? Besides, is it so easy to be the captain of the Demon Suppression Division? You want to be the captain, but I haven't agreed yet!"
After hearing this, Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, grinned and said, "As long as it's not about this, what do you mean?"
"Ahem, that's it. Guanlongshan's work for Lu Yan will change next, so I think that after Lu Yan leaves Star City, you will succeed him and become Star City's new sword holder."
Gu Yuan: "???"
His eyes widened, and when he looked at Elder Ai, his eyes changed from shock to horror!
Previously, I thought it was outrageous for Elder Ai to make him the captain of the first team of the Demon Suppression Division Star City.
Unexpectedly, Elder Ai was far more outrageous than Gu Yuan imagined!
Gu Yuan was thinking before that if he really became the captain of Hong Romantic, how would he face Zhou Zhen, Ge Fei and the others next? It gives me a headache just thinking about it, let alone having to order them around.
Elder Ai is indeed a considerate person. Perhaps considering that Gu Yuan would have such worries, he made Gu Yuan the sword bearer of Star City in one step!
It is indeed great wisdom!
Looking at the expression on Gu Yuan's face, Elder Ai asked doubtfully: "Is there any problem?"
"Elder Ai, you must not do this! Who am I? What qualifications do I have to be the sword bearer of Star City?" Gu Yuan's main goal is to be ruthless to himself, even saying such things.
Elder Ai waved his hand and said: "Don't belittle yourself so much! You are still very capable! Meng Xinshu and the others have dealt with me before. Your clone technique is very mysterious. With you in Star City, it is equivalent to two A-level people." It’s amazing to be in charge at the same time!”
"Elder Ai, this is different. It hasn't been long since I joined the Demon Suppression Division..."
"Could it be that the Demon Suppression Division selects talents based on qualifications rather than ability?" Elder Ai asked doubtfully, "If that's the case, as long as you stay in the Demon Suppression Division until you retire, you can come to Guanlong Mountain to become a Star Lord?"
"I..." Gu Yuan didn't know how to refute for a moment.
At this time, Elder Ai's expression became serious.
"Gu, you have to make it clear that this is an appointment given to you by Guanlong Mountain, not a consultation with you! Star City cannot be without a sword holder, right?" Elder Ai said seriously.
Gu Yuansheng said: "I just feel that I am not suitable. After all, I am so young and not stable in my work..."
"Then who do you think is suitable?" Cui Yingxiong said suddenly, "Is it Zhou Zhen or Ge Fei? Or is it Tang Keqing? If there is real danger, Star City's sword bearer will be at the forefront. Do you think, facing the same opponent, who has the better chance of surviving, you or them?"
Gu Yuan looked at Cui Yingxiong in astonishment.
He really hadn't thought about this problem before.
Cui Yingxiong reached out and patted Gu Yuan's back gently.
"Don't think of this as an honor, just think of it as a responsibility."
Gu Yuan: "..."
…
When Kong Baihe saw Gu Yuan coming back in despair, his heart skipped a beat and he hurried to greet him.
"What's wrong? What did Elder Ai have to do with you?"
Gu Yuan looked quite normal when he left before, but now that he has returned, he has become an eggplant beaten by frost. It is difficult for Kong Baihe not to doubt whether Elder Ai has brought some bad news to Gu Yuan.
After listening to Kong Baihe's question, Gu Yuan did not answer. He walked into the courtyard first, then sat down, took a sip of tea, and pondered his emotions.
After looking at Gu Yuan for a while, Kong Baihe's mentality was about to explode.
"What's going on? You're so mean-spirited!"
Gu Yuan finally raised his head, glanced at him, and almost cried.
"Cui Xingjun won't go back with us. From now on, he will stay in Guanlong Mountain."
"How could this happen...But I already know it?" Kong Baihe thought there must be something wrong with this guy! If Cui Yingxiong had just said it before, could he forget it now?
Besides, isn’t this something you already knew before? Even if Cui Yingxiong doesn't go back now, the ending will not change. Moreover, even if Cui Yingxiong doesn't go back, it's not a big deal, right? The happiest person should be Luo Yin. As for Gu Yuan...
He didn't believe it. Cui Yingxiong had stayed in Star City for such a long time. Could it be that the two of them had already established such a deep relationship?
Gu Yuan sighed again and said: "Cui Xingjun is not going back, we have to go back, and for our first team, Zhou Zhen will be the captain from now on."
"Is this news... bad?" Kong Baihe asked with a strange expression, "Are you in a bad mood because you didn't become the captain?"
Even though that was what he said, he felt it was impossible.
With his understanding of Gu Yuan, even if Zhou Zhen asked him to be the captain, he would not agree.
"It would be great if I really became the captain..." Gu Yuan said with a bitter smile.
Before, he was really afraid that Cui Yingxiong and the others would let him be the captain, but now it seems.
There seems to be nothing wrong with being the captain.
Kong Baihe became more confused the more he listened.
"Do you really want to be the captain? I don't think it's necessary. Besides, for our first team, does it make any difference who is the captain?" Kong Baihe asked confused.
It hasn't been long since he joined the Star Town Yaosi, but he is already very familiar with the people in Red Romance. Even if Zhou Zhen becomes the captain, it seems that their relationship will not change.
Therefore, Kong Baihe really didn't understand why this news made Gu Yuan's mood drop.
Until he heard the explosive news from Gu Yuan.
"Lu Yan is leaving too. When I return to Star City... I will be the sword holder of Star City."
"Ah?" Kong Baihe's eyes widened and he blurted out, "Are you worthy?"
Gu Yuan: "???"
