Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 174 A little plan
Zhao Youyue was already thinking about how to take proactive action, and Mei Xiaoxiao's intention to negotiate with Tianlanxing made Zhao Youyue even more anxious!

'The resources of the Lone King Volcano must not be used by you to create more Heavenly Warriors!'

'Lin Xiufeng doesn't care about the situation on Dream Continent at all. His control of the exports and his role as the leader of the rebellion are merely to gain leverage to achieve his goal of returning to live on Tianlan Star!'

'You still want to go back to life on Planet Tianlan? I will never let you have your way!'

Zhao Youyue saw through Lin Xiufeng's true needs in becoming the leader of the Tianfan organization at a glance—

Therefore, it was expected that Lin Xiufeng's plans for the development of the Anti-Heaven Organization would not follow the usual path.

Because Lin Xiufeng is not a person who follows the rules and takes things one step at a time!

"Watch me cut off your lifeline, leaving you like water without a source or a tree without roots!"

Zhao Youyue summoned her second brother and several trusted confidants, instructing them to find ambitious and eager Tianwupo to form a super team.

Finally, he called Ma Jin in.

Upon meeting, he said to Ma Jin:
“I know Lin Xiufeng gave you a chance back then, and you are very grateful to him.”

"I suspect you're here with your heart set on Han, even though you're in Cao Cao's camp. Since we've met, I don't want to make things difficult for you. You should leave."

Ma Jin was stunned for a moment, then felt a surge of anger!
He had already struggled with this issue before, and when he learned that Lin Xiufeng had suddenly become the new leader of the Anti-Heaven Organization, some time had passed since the Tianwei Incident.

Ma Jin ultimately didn't leave. Although he was grateful to Lin Xiufei, the Tianwu Group represented the Tianlan Star Government and was the legitimate one!

Moreover, the Youlin Feiyue base is here, and Zhao Youyue is here.

Ma Jin could only sigh and lament the situation between Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue; he couldn't interfere in who was right or wrong.

As a result, Ma Jin finally managed to convince himself, only to be suddenly driven away by Zhao Youyue!
After Zhao Youyue finished speaking, she remained silent with a sullen face, ignoring Ma Jin.

After waiting a while, seeing Ma Jin with his head down, reluctantly turning to leave, he said again:

"What? You don't want to leave?"

Upon hearing that there was still a chance, Ma Jin quickly expressed his opinion:

"My gratitude to Lin Xiufeng is a personal matter. The Tianwu Group is the rightful heir. To put it bluntly, those who rebel against the heavens are traitors, and I never wanted to go there!"

"The deputy commander knows me well. I've always felt lucky to have joined the Heavenly Martial Corps, so why would I leave!"

Zhao Youyue sighed deeply:

"Actually, I'm willing to believe you, but there are many voices in the base who doubt you. Under these circumstances, how can I assign you a job?"

Ma Jin could understand Zhao Youyue's predicament. Everyone doubted his words and asked Zhao Youyue to go against the majority and offend so many people for his sake.

He, Ma Jin, doesn't have that much influence.

He didn't dare to make such a wishful thought.

"Even if I'm just a nobody, I'd be willing to stay in the Tianwu Regiment. At worst, I'll be in charge of building patrol bases. I've been doing that job for so long anyway."

Ma Jin gritted his teeth and made a statement, preparing for the worst.

“The problem is, everyone is against this job,” Zhao Youyue said, looking troubled.

"...I'll follow the deputy commander's arrangements; I'm willing to stay in the Heavenly Martial Regiment even if I'm just a nobody!"

Ma Jin was very unwilling, because he was originally a veteran under Zhao Youyue!
Suddenly, because of the Tianwei incident, my situation has become so awkward!
"How could I bear to make you suffer like this?" Zhao Youyue said strongly, her face showing absolute reluctance.

Ma Jin remained silent. What else could he do?

“When I was arguing with people who questioned you, someone suggested that if you were willing to do it and did it well, you could prove your position. But I think that would be too difficult for you... Never mind, there’s no need to bring it up.”

Zhao Youyue looked very reluctant to speak. "Minister, just say it! I'm willing to do it!"

Ma Jin was immediately invigorated and was naturally willing to seize the opportunity to escape his predicament.

"You can't do it! It's less a solution and more a way for the person who suggested it to make things difficult for you!"

Zhao Youyue flatly denied it, but Ma Jin, unwilling to give up, said:
"I can't exactly assassinate Tianwei, can I? I definitely can't do that! But as long as it's within my power, I can definitely do it!"

Fearing he might miss the opportunity, Ma Jin quickly expressed his willingness to participate.

"..." Zhao Youyue made up her mind and said, "They want you to go and act as an informant for two years. As long as you make a contribution and come back, no one will question you anymore."

"Huh?" Ma Jin never expected it to be done this way!
What's that?

Isn't that just sending him to be a spy to deceive Lin Xiufeng?

"That's why I said the person who made the suggestion was deliberately trying to make things difficult for you. There's no way you can accomplish this!"

Zhao Youyue sighed, then said in a gentle tone:
“It’s alright, Ma Jin. Others may not believe you, but I do.”

"Although we can't arrange a job for you for the time being, time will tell."

"You stay in Central City and nobody can drive you away! Use time to dispel all doubts and prove your loyalty to the Heavenly Martial Legion."

"I will try to get you opportunities to shine, so don't worry."

Ma Jin was speechless for a moment. Asking him to deceive Lin Xiufei would be repaying kindness with enmity!

How could he possibly do something like that?
Zhao Youyue waited a while, then said gently, "If there's nothing else, you can go back now. It might be a little unfair to suddenly be relieved of your post, but just bear with it for a few years, or until Lin Xiufeng is no longer the leader of the rebels."

"Ah, ah!" Ma Jin replied, returning home dejectedly.

He had just left when the people waiting outside came in.

"Minister, didn't Ma Jin agree immediately?"

Zhao Youyue calmly instructed, "The chances of Ma Jin agreeing immediately are slim to begin with. You'll be in charge of the rest of the work."

"A constant barrage of sarcasm and attacks, both direct and indirect, along with the persistent sense of disparity and the pain of being humiliated and despised, will motivate Ma Jin to pursue his goals more actively."

"Don't worry, Minister! I'll take care of it right away!"

The man accepted the order and left, secretly sensing that Zhao Youyue's sudden change in style was frightening.

Ma Jin walked home feeling down, and when he got there, he found someone waiting for him.

Those guys had never gotten along well with Ma Jin in the past.

Originally, he was a subordinate of Ma Jin's subordinate, and he was reprimanded by Ma Jin for not taking his work seriously.

At this moment, the eyes and faces of those people clearly showed their mockery, and they even deliberately imitated Ma Jin's official tone when he reprimanded them, saying:
"You are no longer the chief steward of the central city. Please pack your things immediately and move to another room."

"We are just doing this on official business, please cooperate with the former head of city affairs."

"The former head of city affairs has always been conscientious and responsible, and he would never make things difficult for us nobody."

"That's hard to say! I'm afraid the former city affairs manager might suddenly beat us up. After all, we're just Heavenly Martial Souls, how could we possibly be a match for Ma Tianwu!"

More and more people gathered around.

Those people, fearing that everyone was unaware of the situation, publicized the fact that Ma Jin was suspected of being Lin Xiufeng's spy and was therefore stripped of all his positions.
