Tang Shi, of course, understood what Yang Haoran meant; it was clear he intended to promote him.
Tang Shi was overjoyed. He immediately knelt on one knee and respectfully declared, "No matter how many tasks Master assigns this subordinate, I will never have a single word of complaint!"
"Hehe, excellent. Rise. " Yang Haoran said with a smile.
Tang Shi rose. Though his expression was hidden by the mask, his tone of voice clearly revealed the immense excitement he felt at that moment.
"For the next few days, do not leave Lecheng. I will summon everyone else back, and then we'll hold a meeting," Yang Haoran stated.
"Yes, Master! " Tang Shi quickly replied with respect, his excitement growing even more intense than before. He knew that his moment to shine was likely drawing near.
Yang Haoran did not linger. Before leaving, he deployed the Formation Flags Xu Meijing had given him to secure this secret base.
Before his departure, Yang Haoran left a barrier mark on Tang Shi, allowing Tang Shi free access to and from the secret base.
Yang Haoran had intended to give Tang Shi a few days off, but Tang Shi declined. He decided to remain at the secret base to improve and refine some of its internal facilities.
Previously, without a restrictive barrier, he hadn't dared to fully utilize his abilities for fear of his Yin Qi being detected. Now, with the secret base protected by a barrier, even if he exerted his full power inside, not a trace of Yin Qi would leak out. Thus, he wished to seize this opportunity to further perfect the secret base.
Tang Shi's enthusiasm greatly pleased Yang Haoran. This was exactly the kind of driven subordinate he needed, as they could generate even more value for him.
Back at the villa, Yang Haoran made a call to the two other Evil Spirits and the four-person team, instructing them to temporarily put aside their current tasks and return to Lecheng. The meeting point would be within the large mountain where the secret base was located.
Several days later, Yang Haoran returned to the secret base. This time, in addition to himself, there were seven ghostly entities, including Tang Shi.
In the meeting room, Yang Haoran sat at the head of the table. Tang Shi stood respectfully by his side, while the other six ghostly entities sat on the stone chairs below.
Although the six ghostly entities below were seated and Tang Shi was standing, Tang Shi's position was different. Even standing, his status was clearly superior to the six seated entities, a fact they all understood.
However, what puzzled them was how Tang Shi's status could have changed so dramatically in such a short time.
The four-person team, in particular, had never encountered Tang Shi before, so they were filled with curiosity about the figure standing beside Yang Haoran.
The vast meeting room boasted hundreds of stone chairs, yet only a handful of individuals were currently seated, making the room seem somewhat desolate.
Yang Haoran, however, was in no hurry. He knew this was just the beginning; he was certain that in the future, this place would become increasingly lively.
"The reason I've suddenly asked you all to drop your tasks and return immediately is to announce an important order. I believe you've all seen the individual standing beside me. His name is Tang Shi, and from this day forward, he will be your leader. When I am not present, his commands are my commands. I hope you will all fully cooperate with his work," Yang Haoran said with a smile.
Although the six had harbored some suspicions, hearing Yang Haoran utter these words firsthand still left them somewhat surprised.
Surprised as they were, the six dared not show the slightest neglect. They immediately rose and responded with respect.
"Though you were not chosen this time, do not be disheartened. Your team will only grow stronger, and in time, more of you will be promoted by me. As long as you possess sufficient ability, you will not be overlooked here. I will ensure you all have a chance to shine," Yang Haoran said with a smile.
Although the six did not outwardly express any dissatisfaction with his decision, Yang Haoran knew well that they would inevitably harbor doubts about Tang Shi's capabilities. As for how to make the six not question Tang Shi, but rather trust him, Yang Haoran didn't want to worry about it. If Tang Shi couldn't even handle such a matter, it would prove that he had indeed misjudged him, and Tang Shi's abilities were not as outstanding as he had imagined.
Should it come to that, Yang Haoran would certainly replace Tang Shi with someone more capable. This was definite, because Tang Shi would simply not be qualified for the position, and if he wasn't replaced, the entire team would struggle to develop.
The reason he was speaking these words to the six right now was not for Tang Shi's sake, but to prevent them from losing heart. He wanted to give them hope, a hope that would allow them to remain full of drive.
As his words fell, Yang Haoran produced a Soul Pill before the seven.
Watching Yang Haoran retrieve the Soul Pill, the six ghostly entities below grew agitated, their eyes burning with fervent light.
"You've all worked hard during this period, and I've seen your achievements. For those who work for me, Yang Haoran, I will absolutely not let your efforts be in vain. As long as you achieve results, I will provide rewards."
As his words concluded, Yang Haoran handed the Soul Pill to Tang Shi.
"The seven of you shall divide this Soul Pill. However, the distribution — who gets more, who gets less — will be determined by your achievements during this period."
Yang Haoran had already informed Tang Shi of the achievements of all seven ghostly entities, including Tang Shi himself, for the current year. However, the information Yang Haoran provided to Tang Shi only contained to their discovery of the traces of Evil Spirits (evil Spirits) and Evil Spirits (evil Spirits)—this was just one aspect of their performance. In addition to this, the various items they had brought back also constituted another part of their achievements.
This time, all six had brought back a considerable amount of items, especially the four-person team, who had been out on missions much earlier than Tang Shi and his two companions. Therefore, they had amassed a large quantity of various goods. As for the value of these items, that would only be known after they were inventoried.
Tang Shi accepted the command, then put away the Soul Pill Yang Haoran had given him, preparing to inventory the various items the six had brought back this time.
"From now on, I'm entrusting all such matters to you. However, I expect your records to be accurate, without the slightest carelessness. Merits shall be rewarded, and transgressions punished, and that includes you. I trust you understand my meaning," Yang Haoran said, looking at Tang Shi.
"This subordinate understands. Please rest assured, Master," Tang Shi quickly promised.
"Then the rest is up to you. How you arrange them is your concern. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't delay here any further."
As his words fell, Yang Haoran stood up, descended from the high platform, and exited the meeting room, respectfully seen off by the seven.
After Yang Haoran left, Tang Shi, following Yang Haoran's orders, began inventorying the various items the six had brought back. Most of these had been purchased with New Beginning Coins, while some had been acquired through other means.
When they had departed, Yang Haoran, wishing to ensure the New Beginning Coins in their possession were put to good use, had provided each of them with a bank card containing a substantial amount of New Beginning Coins. These New Beginning Coins were specifically for purchasing various valuable items.
This time, all of them had returned with quite a few items. However, whether they held any value, and how much, would only be known after Tang Shi completed his tally. Under the Moonlight Night God
