Chapter 452: Chapter 225: Removal of Punishment_1

Seeing Long Dangdang’s smiling face, Ah Jiu was tempted to slap the boy. Moreover, he noticed that none of the people from both Long Dangdang’s and Zisang Liuying’s teams, even the reserve Sacred Legates, showed any intention of speaking up. Everything was led by Long Dangdang.

Interesting. According to the information collected by headquarters, among the seven reserve Sacred Legates, Long Dangdang is actually ranked last — yes, last — even ranking below Long Kongkong.

Ling Menglu ranked first, Zisang Liuying second, Long Kongkong third, followed by Chu Yu, Tang Leiguang, and Cai Caijuan. Only then came Long Dangdang.

Yes, Long Kongkong ranked third. The reason is straightforward; even though his strength was not powerful, he was the successor of the Divine Prayers Small Tree Spirit Furnace! And while Long Dangdang also possessed the Wisdom Spirit Furnace, it was only the remnants of the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace. It may yield limited accomplishments in the future, making it difficult for him to advance to a higher level like the historical owners of the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace.

But now, Long Dangdang seemed to be taking the lead, and even Zisang Liuying, with her aloof personality, was silent when he spoke. What could this mean? It was thought-provoking.

"Just stay here and, as you just said, write another report for me. I will apply to the headquarter and the Federation to cancel your punishment. Is that okay?" Ah Jiu said.

Long Dangdang scratched his head and looked a bit surprised, "Troop Leader Jiu, we were indeed in the wrong! How dare we let the Federation retract the punishment!"

Ah Jiu’s eyes widened a little, "Is this not enough for you?"

Long Dangdang quickly waved his hands, saying, "Not at all, not at all. We completely support whatever decision the Headquarters makes, as ordinary, low-level demon hunters. We just don’t want to cause any trouble for the Headquarters."

"Shut up, don’t overdo it! The punishment was only a nominal reprimand to start with. Do you think Headquarters would truly short-change you? Instead, you show them no trust at all and created a mess here. Forget the public commendation, when your team and Zisang Liuying’s team get promoted to the next level, do you want your merit to be halved?"

Long Dangdang replied with a full smile, "What about the teams of the two Team Leaders Li?"

Ah Jiu glared at him, "Team Leader Li Hongche’s team can have fifty thousand merit deducted. Team Li Yuqing will have thirty thousand merit deducted. Satisfied now?"

Long Dangdang hurriedly said, "We wouldn’t dare refuse your generous offer, Troop Leader Jiu. Thanks. We’ll rewrite the report. Assuming Headquarters decides we did not make a mistake this time, will we receive the previously deducted merit and mission rewards?"

Seeing the innocent smile on his face, Ah Jiu snorted, "Stop talking nonsense and start writing." He said, turning to leave, fearing that he really couldn’t resist giving the boy a beating.

As they watched Troop Leader Jiu leave, everyone’s eyes inadvertently gathered on Long Dangdang.

Long Dangdang nodded and smiled slightly at everyone, praising, "The Demon Hunters Headquarters is truly our home; it always has our backs. Troop Leader Jiu, in particular, cares for us young ones. He is an excellent role model that we will respect for our entire lives."

After Long Dangdang’s words, Cai Caijuan couldn’t help but start laughing, "heeheehee." Zisang Liuying turned her head away, not wanting to look at him anymore. Tang Leiguang’s mouth twitched, and Chu Yu, who had lost all three senses, including hearing, just looked curiously at Long Dangdang.

On Long Dangdang’s team, Long Kongkong gave his brother a thumbs-up, Ling Menglu just smiled, Wang Changxin remained expressionless as if nothing had happened, Ming Xi was somewhat stunned, and Tao Linlin was smiling.

On the other hand, Team Li Hongche and Team Li Yuqing were overwhelmed with huge surprises. All this happened in just a few minutes, and they earned thousands of merit? This happiness came too suddenly. At this point, they had only deep admiration for Long Dangdang.

Naturally, the mission report was written by Long Dangdang. He just rewrote it according to what he had said to Ah Jiu earlier.

Team leaders Li Hongche and Li Yuqing left with their teams, while Zisang Liuying and her partners remained.

"We weren’t wrong in this matter at all. The old conservatives insist on guarding these bones, only bringing more casualties and danger. They are just being foolish." Zisang Liuying said indignantly.

Long Dangdang stopped writing, looked up at her, and said, "Team Leader Zisang, this matter doesn’t have an absolute right or wrong. We know that these predecessors’ remains can cause danger. Don’t the seniors understand this? They must also understand. However, these predecessors have made remarkable contributions to the Federation, their talents have also been passed down, letting the descendants cremate their ancestors, it is truly difficult to do. It’s understandable emotionally."

Zisang Liuying said, "But the problem is that wraith entities are wreaking havoc continuously and on a larger scale. More and more remains of our ancestors have become part of the wraith legion, turning against humans. Are we going to allow this to continue? This isn’t what our ancestors would have wanted to see either. If we continue to guard in this way, who knows how many living people will have to be sacrificed for the people who have already died."

Long Dangdang said, "I understand how you feel, and I get it. But our Temple Federation has been in existence for over ten thousand years after all. Over these ten thousand years, many predecessors have been laid to rest, and those who were threatened and coveted by wraith entities were the remarkable contributors from the Six Great Sacred Temples. It’s not easy to give up emotionally. Actually, have you ever thought that this is actually a problem brought about by the Federation’s system itself?"
