Chapter 812: Turning the Tables
Yang Haoran's face still wore a smile, even when the two demon hunters fixed their gaze on him, his smile didn't fade.
"Are you Yang Haoran, the Burial Master of Lecheng Yin Division?"
The man who spoke had an icy tone, his attitude was far from polite, and he looked down on Yang Haoran with a condescending gaze.
Yang Haoran took in the man's attitude, and couldn't help but feel amused. Why didn't they just take action, break through the barrier, and get what they wanted? Why stand outside and wait?
Of course, Yang Haoran knew that the two demon hunters didn't take action because they were wary of Yin Division, not him, the Burial Master.
The fact that they had found him and knew his name meant they had a certain level of understanding about him.
As an Underworld Envoy, they must have looked down on him, after all, in their eyes, he was just a novice who had only opened his earth soul a few years ago. As three-star demon hunters, how could they possibly look up to him?
They didn't take action because they were giving face to Yin Division, not to him, the Burial Master.
If Yin Division were to fall like the Administrative Bureau, they wouldn't be waiting outside the barrier, they would have taken action long ago.
Yang Haoran smiled as he spoke, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.
"Hmph, we're indeed newly arrived in Lecheng, but that's none of your business. You just need to know that we're not happy, and if you're not blind, you should be able to see that."
The man's words were extremely arrogant, and even Master Wu's face turned cold after hearing them.
But neither of them spoke, they just stared fixedly at the two demon hunters, paying attention to their every move, ready to react at the first sign of aggression, even though they knew they weren't a match for three-star demon hunters.
Yang Haoran's reaction was different, his expression remained unchanged, still wearing a smile, as if the man's words hadn't affected him at all.
Yang Haoran's reaction caught the two demon hunters off guard, they had expected him to get angry, but instead, his face showed no signs of anger, and he still wore a faint smile, unaffected.
What they didn't expect even more was Yang Haoran's response.
"Heh, you two are unhappy, I can see that, because I'm not blind. But my mood is also not very good, can you two see that?"
Yang Haoran smiled as he asked, he had originally planned to invite them in for a chat, but now he didn't even think about it.
The two demon hunters furrowed their brows, they hadn't expected Yang Haoran to ask them such a question.
"Your mood is none of our business, but our unhappiness has a lot to do with you, the Underworld Envoy!"
The man spoke in a low tone, and Yang Haoran immediately shook his head, denying the man's statement.
"No, my bad mood has a lot to do with you two."
Yang Haoran's tone was firm, and he glanced back at Bai Xue before continuing to speak without waiting for the two demon hunters to respond.
"My friend behind me was originally doing well in the Spirit Police unit, and over the years, she has been diligent and selfless, always taking the lead in dangerous missions and never considering her own safety. She has made tremendous contributions to the stability of Lecheng and is deeply loved by the people. But you two have not only caused her to lose her job but also made her a target for the Administrative Bureau to eliminate. Can you imagine how I feel?"
Yang Haoran's words not only stunned the two demon hunters but also caught Bai Xue off guard, who was wearing a mask, which was fortunate, or her reaction would have been misinterpreted by the demon hunters.
Bai Xue's reaction was a mix of anger and amusement, angry at the demon hunters and amused by Yang Haoran's words. She didn't realize how excellent she was, and Yang Haoran's words made her feel like she was being praised to the heavens.
However, Bai Xue was aware of her own limitations and knew that Yang Haoran was exaggerating, but she wouldn't dare to point it out. She suppressed her urge to laugh and stood behind Yang Haoran, watching him perform.
Master Wu's reaction was different from Bai Xue's. He wore a cold expression, and his face showed a clear sign of anger, confirming that Yang Haoran's words were true, and he was furious.
Master Wu knew that Yang Haoran was exaggerating, but he played along to support Yang Haoran's act, even without a script.
Yang Haoran spoke out because he knew the demon hunters were looking for trouble, and it was better to take the initiative than to be passive. He didn't want to give them an excuse to take action.
These two demon hunters were afraid of the Yin Division, or they wouldn't have waited outside the barrier for him to appear. They would have launched a direct attack, flattening the place. Enjoying the story? Discover more on M|V|LEM6PYR.
However, if they found a reason to take action, they might attack him on the spot, and even if the Yin Division investigated, they would have an excuse.
Although this was just Yang Haoran's speculation, it was a possibility, and he had done similar things before. He needed to take a stand to avoid being too passive.
"She became a target for the Administrative Bureau to eliminate, what does this have to do with us?"
The speaker was not the man but his wife, who wore a cold expression and scolded Yang Haoran.
"This matter has nothing to do with you two, or do you know more about it than anyone else?"
Yang Haoran smiled in response, his expression unchanged, with a faint smile on his face.
The woman wore a cold expression, wanting to continue scolding Yang Haoran, but her husband stopped her.
"Did the Administration Director tell you about this?"
The man asked Yang Haoran with a serious face.
"Ha ha, this matter has nothing to do with him. As a local tycoon in Lecheng, I have my own information network. With a little effort, I can find out the ins and outs of this matter."
Although the Administration Director's actions made Yang Haoran uncomfortable, he didn't intentionally try to discredit him. As for whether the couple believed him or not, he didn't care.
"If you want to say that, then this matter does have something to do with us. As demon hunters, it's our duty to eliminate demons, and since Lecheng has demons, we must take action to protect the people. We can't let demons run amok in the human world."
The man paused slightly before continuing, seeing Yang Haoran about to speak, and then let out a cold snort, interrupting him.
"Hmph, we're not only disappointed in Lecheng's Administrative Bureau but also in Lecheng's Yin Division. I never thought that the Administrative Bureau would hire a serpent demon, and I'm even more shocked that you, as the Burial Master of Lecheng's Yin Division, are colluding with demons, handing over the city to someone like you. It's simply a smear on the Yin Division's reputation. If your superiors find out, the consequences will be severe, and you should know that."
