Then We Three Golden Crow Brothers Will Have to Become Deadbeats!

"What? Third Brother, you came up with a way?"

"That's wonderful!"

Upon hearing Xuan Yang suddenly speak up, Di Jun and Taiyi were instantly overjoyed.

After all, while Xuan Yang had been patiently thinking things through...

They had been thinking as well.

But unfortunately—

No matter how hard Di Jun and Taiyi thought, they could not come up with a suitable solution.

Therefore, when they heard Xuan Yang say that he had a way, they could not have been more excited.

They all turned their eyes toward Xuan Yang.

Chang Xi and Xi He at the side did the same.

They looked at Xuan Yang with delighted expressions.

Xi He even handed him a cup of hot tea. "Daoist Friend Xuan Yang, have some tea and take your time."

Xuan Yang gave Xi He a gentle smile.

He accepted the teacup and drained it in one gulp.

Then, beneath the expectant gazes of everyone around him, he finally spoke.

"My idea is this."

"A Heavenly Dao decree cannot be refused."

"If we refuse it, we will suffer punishment from the Heavenly Dao."

"That definitely won't do."

"So, since Old Ancestor Hongjun has issued a Heavenly Dao decree to us on its behalf..."

"Then we should just accept it."

Yet after hearing Xuan Yang's answer, everyone's faces filled with deep confusion.

Taiyi in particular was a Hot Temper.

Thus, he immediately questioned Xuan Yang.

"But, Third Brother..."

"Weren't you always against Eldest Brother and me establishing the Demon Court?"

"Have you changed your mind?"

Xuan Yang smiled and shook his head. "Not at all."

"It's just that this time, the circumstances are special. We have no choice but to accept a Heavenly Dao decree."

"Besides, after giving it some thought, I realized that accepting this decree is not a problem either."

"Because Old Ancestor Hongjun only said in the Heavenly Dao decree—"

"That he wanted us to establish the Demon Race and build the Demon Court."

"But beyond that, he didn't clearly state anything else!"

Di Jun, Taiyi, Chang Xi, and Xi He all fell into thought after hearing Xuan Yang's words.

Xuan Yang continued, "In any case, establishing the Demon Race and building the Demon Court are both matters of great merit."

"If we do them, we won't lose out. Instead, we can gain great merit and fortune for nothing."

"It's actually an opportunity."

"As for afterward... how the Demon Court is managed, how the Demon Race is managed, and what we choose to do—that will be up to us."

Taiyi said to Xuan Yang, "But Third Brother, didn't Old Ancestor Hongjun also say that we were to lead the Demon Race toward prosperity and flourishing?"

Xuan Yang immediately laughed. "Second Brother, you're being too honest."

"Just because he said it, do we definitely have to accomplish it?"

Di Jun immediately caught on after hearing Xuan Yang put it that way.

He burst into laughter. "Brilliant!"

"I understand what Third Brother means!"

"He means that among the matters in the Heavenly Dao decree, we should do those that benefit us."

"As for those that offer us no benefit, or that we simply do not wish to do, we can muddle through them."

Taiyi still did not quite understand. He asked with a puzzled look, "But wouldn't that be defying the Heavenly Dao decree?"

Xuan Yang answered with a smile, "How would that be defying it?"

"He told us to do it, and we did!"

"But if we fail to get it done, what can we do?"

"We want to, but we lack the ability!"

"If he still wants to blame us for that—"

"Then at worst, we quit!"

"This time, he can't blame us. We already tried our best!"

"It's just that we ultimately failed to do the job well, or our efficiency was too low!"

"That has nothing to do with us."

The two goddesses, Chang Xi and Xi He, were left utterly dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Di Jun gave a simple summary of Xuan Yang's method.

"In short, Third Brother's method is very simple."

"It is—"

"Respond to everything, but don't necessarily follow through!"

"Don't ask! If you ask, there are difficulties! If you ask, it's already being handled!"

"As for why the efficiency is poor—there's nothing we can do. We lack the capability! There are difficulties in every respect!"

"If it won't work, give us some support!"

"If it still won't work, get someone else to do it!"

"Anyway, we'd be more than happy not to do it!"

Taiyi finally understood completely.

He immediately burst out laughing as well.

He threw an arm around Xuan Yang's shoulders and praised him. "Third Brother, your brain really works wonders!"

"With this, the matter is perfectly resolved."

Xuan Yang merely replied helplessly, "Actually, I never expected Old Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao to issue us this kind of decree."

"So I was quite troubled too."

"But after thinking carefully, since Old Ancestor Hongjun himself has already 'abandoned all sense of fair play'..."

"Then we can't be blamed..."

"We can be shameless too."

Di Jun and Taiyi both burst into laughter.

Clearly, they greatly approved of Xuan Yang's method.

As for Taiyi—

He even directly pulled Xuan Yang along to establish the Demon Race and the Demon Court.

Now that they had figured out how to deal with the matter, and these two things would bring great merit and fortune,

his thought was to seize them right away.

But Xuan Yang shook his head and said to Taiyi,

"There's no rush."

"Didn't Old Ancestor Hongjun give us an Eon to complete it?"

"Since we have plenty of time, we can wait until the last day to do it."

"That won't count as overdue."

"It has already been completely confirmed that we will handle this matter."

"The merit won't run away, so there's no need to be in such a hurry."

Taiyi had no objection.

After all, among the Three Golden Crow Brothers, he had long since found his place.

Whenever he faced a major matter he could not handle, he would discuss it with Eldest Brother Di Jun.

If even Eldest Brother Di Jun could not handle it, then he would go to Third Brother Xuan Yang.

Third Brother would definitely be able to handle it.

Then Taiyi would simply do whatever he said.

It was not as if he would suddenly come up with an idea and insist that Eldest Brother and Third Brother cooperate with him.

Taiyi was actually very clear about his own position.

Di Jun at the side also greatly agreed with Xuan Yang's view.

He spoke as well. "Third Brother is right."

"There's no need to rush."

"We have plenty of time. We can do it at the very end."

"Come to think of it, Old Ancestor Hongjun disgusted us so much this time. We should disgust him too and refuse to do it until the very last moment!"

"And... although Third Brother's response method seems quite good,"

"it was still thought up hastily in a short amount of time."

"The general direction may be fine, but there are bound to be flaws in some of the smaller details."

"If we leave ourselves more time, we can think things through more thoroughly."

"We can deduce things as much as possible and make full preparations."
