Chapter 4491: Pulling Off Something Big

A group of experts from the Ghost Mansion kept trying to persuade them, each with an ugly expression on their face.

"Hehe… Sha Mushi, no matter what you say, I'm just not going out!" Xiao Fan crossed his arms and sneered coldly.

"You, you… Wei Zhongshan, you are just a coward!"

"Hehe… So I'm a coward, I'm willing to be one!"

"…"

Sha Mushi was aggressive, refusing to back down even half a step.

After a bout of arguing, the group of Ghost Mansion experts contacted the higher-ups of the Ghost Mansion one after another, claiming that Xiao Fan and Sha Mushi had a fierce dispute and would have come to blows at any moment if they hadn't intervened.

Sha Mushi also immediately contacted the Ghost Lord, telling the Ghost Lord that Xiao Fan was disobedient and wanted to rebel, and demanded that the Ghost Lord transfer Xiao Fan away…

In reality, Xiao Fan was very clear that the ghost wood envoy token in his hand and the Ghost Fire Envoy token in Sha Mushi's hand were both the Ghost Lord's eyes and ears… The other party must know their every move.

However, the act still had to be performed…

If Xiao Fan wanted to leave, he had to keep making a scene.

Moreover, this was also a way to paralyze the Ghost Lord; otherwise, the Ghost Lord would always be wary of him. He was intentionally revealing flaws just to paralyze the Ghost Lord, making the Ghost Lord believe that he wasn't too smart.

At the very least, he had to make the Ghost Lord believe that any intelligence he had was just petty cleverness.

The Ghost Lord was naturally fully aware of Xiao Fan and Sha Mushi's plan. In the end, tired of the annoyance, he still agreed to let Xiao Fan leave the Western Battlefield and return to being responsible for the transport of supplies.

Regarding this decision by the Ghost Lord, everyone at the Western Battlefield was overjoyed.

After Xiao Fan left, the enemies from the Heavenly Court would drastically decrease, and they wouldn't need to fight to the death anymore.

"Remember later, if there is danger, remember to run first…"

Before leaving, Xiao Fan earnestly instructed Sha Mushi, telling her not to be impulsive and to definitely run if she encountered danger.

"Oh, I know…" Sha Mushi nodded, a look of disappointment in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Fan asked.

"You're leaving, how lonely I'll be by myself…"

Xiao Fan: "…"

"Don't be like this, we don't have that kind of relationship, change the word, don't say lonely."

"Then empty?"

Xiao Fan: "…"

"Alright, I'm leaving, farewell everyone!" Xiao Fan cupped his hands and turned to fly away.

Following Xiao Fan's departure, it was indeed as expected; the pressure on the Western Battlefield decreased sharply, and the enemy offensive from the Heavenly Court weakened.

Not long after, Mi Siyi was also transferred away…

After Xiao Fan left, he returned to being responsible for logistics transport work.

Dong Chengji, Lu Cheng, and Tu Haohao were all very dissatisfied with Xiao Fan, but there was nothing they could do; they still had to curry favor where necessary, otherwise, Xiao Fan was truly slow!

Xiao Fan gladly accepted the bootlicking and flattery from these few…

At the same time, Xiao Fan had been planning a major event, a major event that would make the Ghost Lord vomit blood.

The Heavenly Court and the Ghost Mansion had lost countless experts, but Xiao Fan was very clear that the Heavenly Court had ways to resurrect these people…

Xiao Fan even suspected at one point whether the Heavenly Court was attacking on purpose, just to improve their own side's strength.

Of course.

These were all just guesses.

What Xiao Fan was planning was very simple: to steal from his own post, pull off something big, and then walk away.

The current situation was that it was easy for Xiao Fan to pull off something big, and it was also easy for him to leave…

The problem was, what about his subordinates?!

After he left, wouldn't they suffer?!

When it came to tricking outsiders, Xiao Fan was cold-blooded and ruthless, but towards his own people, he was loyal and righteous.

Therefore, after some maneuvering by Xiao Fan, he kept finding reasons to drive away the people around him, sending them to the Western Battlefield to follow Sha Mushi.

Xiao Fan and Sha Mushi had a very good relationship, so Sha Mushi would treat Xiao Fan's former subordinates well.

The few people left behind were all those Xiao Fan believed to be eyes and ears for the Heavenly Court or the Ghost Mansion…

For the missing manpower, Xiao Fan started a new selection process and found some people to fill in; these people were basically all from Dong Chengji, Lu Cheng, or Tu Haohao.

They arranged for their own people to be by Xiao Fan's side; monitoring Xiao Fan was one aspect, and the other aspect was hoping that the supply delivery could be faster…
