Chapter 892 - Manager's True Nature

Before she even started cooking dinner, Meixiu approached Yuan and asked him, "You know the Manager has been standing in our backyard this entire time, right? I think she's guarding the demon. Maybe we should invite her for dinner?"

"I doubt she'll even want to join us, but I will ask her just in case."

"Okay, I will leave her to you. I will go prepare for dinner now."

Once Meixiu left, Yuan went to the training area to confront the Manager.

"You'll catch a cold if you stand out here for too long. Why don't you come inside and have dinner with us? Meixiu's a great cook."

The Manager slowly turned to look at him with a cold expression on her face, "I have an even better idea. Why don't you hurry up and kill the demon so that I can go back home and eat my own dinner?"

"Why are you so worried about the demon? I have already promised you that there won't be any problems. The demon is sealed, and I will use it to train my friends for the next few days. Once that is done, I will kill it and move onto the next demon."

"Why don't you use the other demons to train your friends? There are 11 demons in total. You can train for a total of 11 days if you use a demon once a day." The Manager then asked.

Yuan smiled and said, "We need to tackle this at a certain pace. They just had their first experience fighting a demon today. In fact, this is their first time seeing a real demon that's not sealed."

"If we rush this, it will only do more harm than good."

After a moment of silence from the Manager, she spoke in a grim voice, "The fact that you're taking this situation so lightly proves to me that you know nothing about demons or what they are truly capable of."

"I know nothing about demons?" Yuan couldn't help but chuckle at her claims.

"What's so funny? If you knew the true horror of demons, you wouldn't be acting so casually."

"There is nobody in this world that knows more about demons than me." Yuan said.

"Where does your confidence come from?"

"Just like how I don't really know anything about you or the Lord, you also don't know anything about me."

"Give me a few days. I will prove to you that I have the situation completely under control. In the meantime, why don't you relax a little and come eat dinner with us? If you waste Meixiu's effort and the food she cooked for you, I will tell everyone about your true nature."

"My true nature? What do you know about me?!" The Manager suddenly shouted at him.

A profound smile appeared on Yuan's face as he responded in a calm voice, "Qi Fang told me. You may act all serious and careful in public, but you're really just a lazy woman who'd rather lay in her bed all day watching television."

The Manager's face immediately flushed with redness after hearing his words.

"S-She told you that?! That good-for-nothing loudmouth! The next time I see her, I will definitely…"

"Let's go, Liya. I'm getting cold and hungry." Yuan said to her as he began making his way back to the house.

"How many times do I have to tell you to not call me by that name?" The Manager frowned.

Once Yuan left the scene, the Manager released a sigh of relief, 'He startled me for a second there. I really thought he knew about that…'

Sometime later, everyone gathered at the dining table for dinner.

"Where's the Manager?" Meixiu asked Yuan after they sat down.

"She…"

The door opened at this moment, and the Manager slowly walked into the dining room before taking a seat at the table with everyone else.

"Thank you for coming." Yuan smiled at her.

After dinner, Yuan said to everyone there, "I must say, you all performed much better than I'd anticipated today. At this rate, you'll all become expert demon sealers in no time."

"However, with that being said, I noticed some mistakes that some of you made. I will now tell you those mistakes, so listen up and try to learn from it."

"Wang Ming, I know demons are very ugly and hard to look at, but you must look at them while you're confronting one. I noticed that you tried to avoid eye contact with the demon as much as possible today. That will easily get you killed if you're fighting a demon alone."

"Shi Lang, that also applies to you. Your movements today are quite sluggish. Your movements during regular training are a whole level better compared to your performance today."

"Jinxi, you're too aggressive with your attacks. You use too much strength when you swing your sword. Remember, it's your demon sealing aura that damages the demons, not your strength."

"Meixiu, you need to stop holding back. I know that it could be a little hard to shoot the demon with a bow and arrow when the others are fighting it at close range, but you subconsciously hold yourself back even when you have a clear shot."Follow current s on novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

"On the other hand, Lulu, you need to learn how to hold back. You're using too much energy even when it isn't necessary."

Yuan continued to speak until everybody that participated in the training today was lectured.

"Now that you all know what you did wrong, I want you to keep it in mind and learn from it."

"I must admit, Yuan, I never knew you were such a good teacher. Where'd you learn such a skill?" Wu Zao asked him after their lecture.

"I wouldn't call that teaching. I'm just pointing out what I saw, that's all. I don't qualify to be called a teacher." He shook his head.

"No need to be humble, Yuan. We know a good lecturer when we see one. You could easily become a top lecturer at the Jaded Garden if you worked there." Wang Ming said.

After talking with each other for a few more minutes and cleaning up the place, everyone but Yuan and the Manager retired to their rooms.
