Chapter 822: Prodigy
Yao Ji tilted her head at Li Pin's words, looking like a bunch of question marks were about to pop out of her little head.
She couldn't help but ask. "What do you mean your first order as lead commander... is to make me the lead commander?"
The Divine Martial Emperor and Ji Shun, who had spent enough time around Li Pin, both twitched at the corners of their mouths. Trust him to make an order like that.... It was just like him.
"It's exactly what it sounds like," Li Pin replied.
"Yao Ji's the lead commander, I'm the main deputy. Wasn't that the original arrangement?" Emperor Ara frowned. "What changed?"
"Nothing," Li Pin said.
He gave a shrug. "Honestly, I thought the original setup was perfectly fine. Whether Yao Ji or you acted as lead commander didn't matter to me, as long as I got to go on first. But then..."
He glanced at Yao Ji.
"You insisted on throwing in that 'the loser must follow the winner' rule, so we ended up having to take the match seriously."
"......"
Yao Ji clenched her jaw as she looked at the somewhat helpless Li Pin. So the whole reason you insisted on taking first place... was just so you could be the first to take the field?
Was I the one making a fuss over nothing? Do you not care at all about the honor of being the lead commander?
