Elder Qiao smiled. “You don’t have to be so polite. We’re all in the same position. There’s no distinction between superiors and subordinates at all.”

“That’s what you say, but our team has always strictly adhered to the level system.”

The fake smile remained on Elder Hu’s face. “No matter what, you’ve been in the group longer than the four of us, so in private, we all think that you’re the First Elder.”

Elder Qiao waved his hand to stop the other party from continuing. Because he knew that if a person always treated him with respect, he would not be able to show his true self and would not be able to get the outcome he wanted.

“Status has never been important. Everyone is dedicated to contributing to the regiment. It’s the same for tea leaves. There’s nothing to be picky about. I’ll drink the good and the rotten.” Elder Qiao immediately stopped this topic and changed the topic. “I wonder if the person who placed the tea leaves is a good person or a bad person?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Elder Hu, who was holding a teacup and preparing to drink tea, was stunned. His hand, which had stopped in midair, trembled unconsciously and even spilled the water in the cup. “What do you mean by that?”

Elder Hu knew that the other party had ill intentions. In order not to discover anything wrong, he continued what he was doing and tried his best to look normal. However, all of this was just a trick to deceive himself.

How could Elder Qiao not guess the meaning of such an obvious change?

“Of course, 1 mean it literally.” Elder Qiao also picked up the teacup in front of him and tasted it carefully as if nothing had happened. “Can’t a smart person like Elder Hu guess why I came to look for you today?”

“Forgive me for being stupid. I really don’t understand what you mean.” Since he had already begun to play dumb, he definitely could not give up halfway. “If I did anything wrong or Young Master Ye misunderstood me, please give me some pointers.”

“In that case, I’ll make things clear for you.” Elder Qiao decided not to continue wasting time with him and immediately made things clear. “I know that Young Master Ye’s decision to ask all of us to leave Country H previously caused the dissatisfaction of the four elders, but you don’t know that he has his own reasons for doing this.”

“Now that you’ve said it so clearly, there’s no need for me to hold it in anymore,” Elder Hu said.

Elder Qiao nodded. “No problem. Elder Hu, feel free to say whatever complaints you have in your heart. Today’s conversation only represents the two of us. After leaving this room, I won’t mention it to a third person.”

“Young Master Ye left the team for a while. Before he came back, he said that he wanted everyone to go to an unfamiliar city. Who would be willing to do that?”

Elder Hu frowned slightly, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction. “Young Master Ye doesn’t have many relatives in Country H, but we’re different. Our home is here.”

“But didn’t Young Master Ye promise everyone that he could bring anyone along?”

Elder Qiao asked, “As long as you’re willing, be it family or friends, you can all leave this place and live in a new environment.”

“Why?” Elder Hu widened his eyes and asked him in confusion, “Why are we suddenly moving to an unfamiliar place when we’re living well here? If it were you, would you be willing?”

He did not stop what he was saying. Before Elder Qiao could answer, he smiled again. “Besides, Young Master Ye should have told us in advance about such a big matter so that we can be mentally prepared. We can discuss it together before making a decision. He shouldn’t make this decision alone and make a choice on behalf of all of us..”
