Fu Shuang spoke to Mo Lin again, "If you must take on this task, then stay by my side. If danger arises, I will protect you."

She bore no malice towards Mo Lin.

There was a sense of caring for a newcomer.

On the side, Fang Chang loudly said to Mo Lin, "Brother... this task is very dangerous. You'd better not go... Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll be so scared you'll wet your pants."

Compared to Fu Shuang, Fang Chang seemed quite awkward.

For some unknown reason, he always looked for a sense of superiority over Mo Lin.

"Fang Chang, your words are too harsh," Fu Shuang reminded him.

"Sorry, I'm just someone who likes to speak the truth, and... I also look down on those who join the ranks of newcomers through connections."

Fang Chang's words implicitly referred to Mo Lin.

Mo Lin was used to it; he had encountered people like Fang Chang before.

Mo Lin had no desire to argue with Fang Chang; it was pointless to waste words.

The urgent matter was to find Jiang Yun.

"Captain, rest assured, we will definitely complete the task," Fang Chang promised the captain, patting his chest.

Fu Shuang raised a matter she was more concerned about.

"Should we choose a team leader?"

For task execution, a team leader must be chosen.

Otherwise, if there's any dispute, whose word do we take?

"Yes, we need to choose a team leader." The captain nodded and then slowly raised his hand.

Fang Chang saw the captain pointing in his direction, itching to step forward.

His heart raced with excitement!

He couldn't help but take a step forward.

"Mo Lin... Mo Lin is your team leader," the captain slowly announced.

Fang Chang smiled, "I'm willing..."

Before he could finish, he reacted instantly.

He turned to Mo Lin, in disbelief.

Really... appointing Mo Lin as the leader of the newcomer team?

"Captain, is there a mistake?"

Fang Chang, incredulous, asked the captain.

He couldn't fathom why Mo Lin was chosen as the leader.

Being a leader requires at least the strongest skills here, right?

Not necessarily the strongest, but at least competent.

What about Mo Lin?

Mo Lin emerged from the Black Tower after a few hours, lacking cultivation talent.

Even without seeing Mo Lin's skills, his performance suggested his abilities weren't stellar.

"No mistake, Mo Lin is your leader," the captain repeated.

Fang Chang pursed his lips, very unwilling.

But it was the captain's decision, and he didn't dare oppose it.

"A connection guy..." Fang Chang mumbled through gritted teeth.

Gan Jianhua also cast a look of envy at Mo Lin.

Who here doesn't aspire to be the leader of the newcomer team?

Unexpectedly, they chose Mo Lin, a connection guy, as the leader, which was infuriating.

Gan Jianhua and Fang Chang mirrored each other's disgruntled attitude.

Unwilling to let Mo Lin be leader.

Their faces practically spelled out, "Resentment."

"Uh.. I can't.. I don't want to be the leader," Mo Lin refused to the captain.

This statement was like a stone falling on the lake surface, creating ripples.

Gan Jianhua and Fang Chang both widened their eyes, utterly incredulous.

Is this for real?

Playing games?

Feigning indifference?

Such a schemer?

Gan Jianhua and Fang Chang shared the same reaction.

Even their expressions were identical.

Their mouths slightly open, eyes widened.

"I think you are very suitable for the leader role," the captain replied to Mo Lin.

"No.. I don't want to be the leader."

A mere leader, what's the point? Mo Lin had zero interest in being the leader.

Completely pointless.

Mo Lin's stance was decisive.

"Tch.. keeping up the act," Fang Chang slightly curled his lip, eyes downcast, full of disdain.

"Pretend.. keep pretending... acting up now?" Gan Jianhua, too, showed disdain, turning away to avoid Mo Lin's loathsome demeanor.

Putting on a show for a group like them, does it matter?

In the end, Mo Lin would have to be the leader anyway!

"Let him be the leader." Mo Lin pointed at Gan Jianhua and said slowly.

"Ah..."

Gan Jianhua pointed at himself, unbelieving, "Me?"

"Yes." Mo Lin nodded.

"Ah..."

Gan Jianhua was stunned.

He thought Mo Lin was just pretending.

But now, it appeared he misunderstood.

Mo Lin wasn't pretending after all.

Because... Mo Lin actually suggested he be the leader.

For him to say such a thing indicated Mo Lin genuinely wasn't interested in the leader role.

This man... has vision!

Gan Jianhua immediately glanced at Fang Chang, his eyes now brimming with hostility.

He knew very well that Fang Chang also wanted to be the leader.

"Mo... you've got a keen eye. Letting me be the leader is the right choice," Gan Jianhua turned his attitude around 360 degrees.

His demeanor towards Mo Lin was as if dealing with his own family.

As for the previous hostility and disdain, it seemed to vanish completely.

Fang Chang looked at Mo Lin, then at Gan Jianhua, unwillingly addressing the captain.

"Captain, I could also be a leader."

"What kind of leader? Didn't you hear Brother Mo recommending me as the leader?" Gan Jianhua immediately interrupted Fang Chang.

Left and right, it's all "Mo brother" this, "Mo brother" that.

Someone might mistakenly think he and Mo Lin were so close!

"Brother Mo, thank you for recommending me as leader. I won't disappoint your trust; I will do the leader role well," Gan Jianhua said politely to Mo Lin.

"WTF.... Gan Jianhua.. how can you act so two-faced?"

Fang Chang excitedly rebuked Gan Jianhua: "Previously, you said Mo Lin joined the newcomer ranks through connections and said he had no talent."

"Before was before, now is now... Don't badmouth my brother in front of me, or I'll turn on you," Gan Jianhua righteously scolded Fang Chang.

"Have some dignity?"

Fang Chang turned his gaze to Mo Lin, "Impressive... impressive... such a stratagem!"

Mo Lin's move was truly astute.

Simply giving up the leader position to win over Gan Jianhua.

This guy.. damn cunning.

Mo Lin didn't know what Fang Chang and Gan Jianhua were thinking; he just genuinely didn't want to be the leader.

The reason he suggested Gan Jianhua as leader was quite simple; Gan Jianhua was coincidentally in the direction of his pointing finger.

"Fine.. let Gan Jianhua be the leader," the captain accepted Mo Lin's suggestion.

Gan Jianhua's excitement was impossible to hide.

"Mo brother.. thank you for recommending me to the leader position, thank you..."

Gan Jianhua held Mo Lin's hand, particularly grateful to him.

Mo Lin couldn't comprehend, why a leader position made Gan Jianhua so excited.

Fu Shuang stared at Mo Lin in surprise; she never expected Mo Lin to relinquish the newcomer leader role.

The newcomer leader role was quite a valuable status.

This position offered some special privileges within the Celestial Sect.

"Hurry to find Jiang Yun," Mo Lin was anxious to find Jiang Yun.

He was worried if they were late, those ghosts from the Ghost Realm might summon entities to the human realm, which would be troublesome.
