Liu Longtao was somewhat displeased.
Although he didn't value Ye Jun all that much, truth be told. Ye Jun indeed did a lot of grunt work for the team, but Lu Country was never short of laborious oxen and horses—the key was whether one's role was irreplaceable.
As everyone progressed to the Hua Mansion Stage, no matter the range or the restraining effect, Yang Linhui's Taoism Method had improved by leaps and bounds. Against ordinary enemies, they no longer needed Ye Jun's Xuan Guang Ruler, but if they faced a powerful foe beyond their level that was unsolvable, Yang Linhui couldn't hold up, and neither could Ye Jun.
Therefore, purely from the team's perspective, the role Ye Jun could play was indeed diminishing.
