Embers

Ember sat in front of the desk and flipped through the information about the Demon Cult left by Nie Budu. He had just taken over the Demon Cult, and there was still a lot to learn. Before that, he didn't know much about the Demon Cult.

Li Mei sat on the side and helped him organize and classify.

"The tea is cold, let me add another pot for you."

Ember was so busy that she didn't lift her head: "En."

Li Mei glanced at him quietly, his brows were slightly frowned, and his knuckles were lightly clasped on the table inadvertently, that was his unique way of thinking about problems.

He got up, picked up the teapot, and was about to go out when the door was pulled open from the outside.

It was Mo Yuan who had lost a lot of weight.

"you……"

"Get off."

Mo Yuan pushed him away and rushed into the house with big strides.

"ember!"

Ember put down the book in her hand and looked up at him.

Mo Yuan said bluntly: "This secret envoy, I quit, you can replace it!"

Ember looked at him expressionlessly, without speaking.

Mo Yuan clenched his fists: "My master will always be Nie Budu. If he is dead, it doesn't make any sense for me to stay here!"

"Where do you want to go?"

Ember's voice was deep and calm, with a hint of tired hoarseness, and Mo Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

"I'm going to guard the tomb of the leader!"

Nie Budu had told him countless times before to assist Ember. After all, he was carried by Nie Budu and he was the second in command who knew the affairs of the Demon Sect best besides Nie Budu. It's getting a little tough.

After all, almost no one in the Demon Cult really admired this person who became the leader for no reason, not to mention the guardians who left and right. After the ceremony, he simply didn't show up, and sent someone to find him, saying that he was busy with business and didn't have time.

For them, even Nie Budu couldn't do anything, let alone Ember.

Unexpectedly, Ember nodded slightly, and agreed: "Okay."

Even Mo Yuan was taken aback: "You...you agree now?"

Ember didn't say anything, just lowered her head and began to focus on the book in her hand.

Nie Budu spent 28 years in his life, aloof, feared by the people of the Jianghu, and obeyed by the demons, but only Mo Yuan really missed him.Hearing the news of his death, the whole world celebrated together, only Mo Yuan cried for him heartbroken.

Mo Yuan stood there for a while, looking at Ember's concentration, and thinking of Nie Budu's dedication to the Demon Sect before, he suddenly felt nervous.

Nie Budu spent his whole life protecting the Demon Sect, hoping to develop it. For this reason, he was desperate. The only real wrong thing he did was that one, but he had to bear the infamy of thousands of people. Before he died, he entrusted the Demon Sect to the Embers and myself, if I let myself go--

"Is it selfish of me to do this?"

He couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"Emphasis on love and righteousness, Nie Budu has not misjudged the person."

Ember said lightly.

Hearing what he said, Mo Yuan's nose turned sore, and he suddenly had the urge to cry.

"I can stay, but you have to promise me one condition!"

Ember paused slightly, then raised her head, with unpredictable emotions in her eyes.

Mo Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "For the sake of the leader's hard work, I can follow you. But you must replace the left and right guardians and give me a position as a guardian!"

Ember thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

In fact, he did it for the good of the Demon Cult. The left and right protectors have long wanted to usurp the throne. If they are not replaced, it will be a disaster sooner or later.Before he proposed, Ember already had this plan.

Although this matter is not so easy, the left and right protectors have served in the Devil's Cult for many years, and their power is huge and deeply rooted. If they want to replace them, they will definitely face many obstacles.

"After removing them, you will be the Left Guardian of the Demon Cult."

Ember said calmly.

Mo Yuan bit his lip and knelt down on one knee: "Yes!"

"The right protector, do you have someone to choose?"

Mo Yuan said without hesitation: "Yes!"

Ember waited patiently for his answer.

"Emissary Mo Sui, although taciturn, but vigorous and resolute, capable of handling affairs, and very loyal."

Don't follow——

Ember frowned calmly, thinking of that man who always had a cold face.

And the sword that pierced through the man who wanted to cheat on him.

"The Demon Cult doesn't have trash like you!"

Seeing Ember fall into silence, Mo Yuan couldn't help but clenched his sleeves tightly.

After a long time, Ember said: "Then you go and ask him what he means. If he agrees, ask him to come see me."

Mo Yuan nodded: "Yes."

He turned around and was about to leave, when he thought of something, he still couldn't help whispering: "As the leader, you should call yourself this seat."

Ember paused, looked up, and he had already walked out quickly.

"It's not that simple to replace the left and right guardians."

After listening to the entire conversation, Li Mei looked at Ember with some concern.

Ember lowered her eyes, and her gaze inadvertently landed on her hands: "If you don't change them, the Demon Cult will have a civil war."

Li Mei also knew this truth, and couldn't help sighing when she heard the words, and then looked at Yu Jin's hand.

It was a pale hand with distinct bones—could it control the entire Demon Cult with just it?

When Mo Yuan pushed open the door, Mo Sui was practicing sword.He has a fierce figure, and every movement carries an unspeakable murderous aura.

When Nie Budu was in power, the Demon Cult divided labor like this: the left and right protectors managed all the sub-rudders, the secret envoy Mo Yuan was in charge of the general helm, and the bright envoy Mo Sui was responsible for training the disciples' martial arts and completing various assassination tasks.

It is also because of this that the power to influence the Dharma Guardians is the greatest, and they are the first to know a lot of information before notifying Nie Budu.

Sensing someone coming in, Mo Sui flew over with a sharp look, and quickly retracted his sword after seeing the person coming.

"Well, Ember asked me to ask you, if you want to be the right protector..."

Even Mo Yuan was a little afraid of this unsmiling man.

Mo Suiyi frowned, and said coldly: "Don't call the leader's name directly."

"..." The corner of Mo Yuan's mouth twitched, and he said aggrievedly, "Didn't we agree before that we will only be loyal to Hierarch Nie?"

Mo Sui looked at him blankly: "So why do you ask me this question?"

Mo Yuan choked.

"That's what you said, but...but, you can see how much the leader has worked so hard for this demon sect. Now he...if we don't help Ember, I'm worried that the demon society will be destroyed by him. Then the leader painstaking effort..."

It is difficult for him to call Ember the leader. In his heart, there is only one person who deserves to be called the leader, and that is Nie Budu.

Mo looked at him steadily.

Mo Yuan bit the bullet and said: "It was the leader who rescued us. If there was no leader, we would have died long ago, so our life is given by the leader. We must not go against what the leader wants us to do, right?" ?”

"..."

Mo Sui turned around, hands behind his back, still silent.

"It's not for yourself, it's just for the leader! Have you forgotten what we promised the leader?"

"..."

"Don't follow! Do you think I will be willing! Do you think that I won't be sad if the leader is gone? It's just that we are not children anymore, we can't do whatever we want, blindly being sad can't solve the problem! I..."

Don't just walk away.

The tears in Mo Yuan's eyes were shaking, and before they had time to fall, he said in surprise, "Where are you going!"

With a sullen face, Mo Sui walked past him straight away: "Go and take orders!"

"..."

Mo Yuan blinked his eyes twice, watching him disappear from sight.

After a long time, he gave a soft "cut".

"If you say a few more words, you will die...Brother."

There was silence all around, only the wind blowing gently.He stood under the tree and raised his hand to catch a fallen leaf.

"I will……"

He didn't continue talking, and raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears.

The knock on the door lasted three times, with neither force nor lightness, and the intervals were always exactly the same.Ember raised her head, not to follow the door and enter.

"See the leader."

There is no ups and downs in the sound.

Ember nodded slightly, "Please get up."

Mo Suili stood up, and looked at Ember with no expression on his face: "Are you planning to dismiss the Right Protector?"

"Both are withdrawn."

Mo Sui was not surprised at all, and nodded to show that he already knew.

"After you remove them, you will take office."

"Yes!"

Ember turned her eyes around him.The person in front of me should be in his thirties this year, but his face is still as young as ten years ago.

"Go down," he said at last.

When the notice came down, everyone was dumbfounded.

This ember, the first thing she did when she took office was to touch these two most immovable people!

After hearing the message, the two protectors couldn't help being shocked.

What Nie Budu has been wanting to do for many years but has not dared to do, Ember unexpectedly does it.

But the two of them had seen strong winds and waves after all, and of course they didn't fall so easily, they made moves that night.

On the second day, a large group of people blocked the door of Ember.

Ember simply held a meeting.

At the beginning, with a blank face, he stated the abilities of Mo Yuan and Mo Sui.Then, his eyes sank, and he began to list the things the two guardians did behind Nie Budu's back when they were in power.

The people below froze, lowered their heads, and stopped talking.

My heart is full of turmoil: How did Ember know these things!

In fact, as smart as Nie Budu, how could he not know at all?He wrote down what he knew calmly, and he planned to use it as the basis for sanctioning those two people in the future.

In addition, Ember had spent days and nights looking through the documents, reconciling accounts, and asking Mo Yuan to investigate everywhere, and finally implemented all these things.

The two guardians looked at each other in blank dismay, panicking quietly.

"The business in the east of Xiaxianmen City was embezzled privately, withholding the annual subsidized funds for Jiangnan, killing people and stealing money in the name of the Devil's Cult... Do you have anything to say about protecting the Dharma?"

Ember sat on the upper seat, watching them condescendingly.

Part of the reason why Nie Budu's reputation is so bad is that these two people are behind the scenes.

Protector Zuo's expression had changed, before he could speak, Yu Jin slightly raised his hand, Li Mei took all the evidence and passed by everyone one by one for them to look through.

The faces of the sub-rudder masters and the stewards below were all different, and there was a lot of discussion. After a while, people began to speak one after another to intercede.

The author has something to say:

This chapter has been written three times before it gets stuck, it’s simply

What... the author himself doesn't know much about management, if there are any bugs, please don't take it seriously... just express this meaning!
