Ye Lan never expected to receive such a straightforward and decisive answer.
In truth, the last time hadn’t been about fully trusting this young man.
More so, she had thought that since he just joined the Slaying Demons Department, he would be inexperienced and cautious, likely to hold back in his actions.
In short, somewhat obedient.
Moreover, this trip to the White Cloud Cave was a joint operation by the Slaying Demons Departments of the three prefectures.
Ye Lan was well aware of how slayers behaved—they would most likely regard Shen Yi as a mere figurehead going through the motions, rather than showing any special respect simply because he held the title of Slaying Demon Officer.
This was a good thing.
From the start, Ye Lan hadn’t expected Shen Yi to perform as a capable slaying officer.
Young cultivators rarely had the realm, strength, or judgment for that.
All she wanted was for him to be a straightforward informant, quietly keeping an eye on Meng Xiuwen.
To make that Meng fellow behave a little better.
But the current situation clearly went beyond Ye Lan’s expectations.
If Shen Yi could pull off such a stunt under the noses of the other two slaying officers, it was no longer a simple matter of disobedience.
