Act Cool and Leave, So Thrilling!

"You demon! It's you!!"

Su Houde stood frozen on the spot, his lips trembling, his face pale. The blue smoke emerging from the White Jade Token and taking shape was not San Niang, whom he had longed for, but one of his enemies from the past. He didn't know whether his heart was filled with sorrow or rage.

Even Yang Taizi showed a look of astonishment at this moment, muttering, "How could this be, how could this be... Is the secret record passed down by our sect fake? This isn't the true Supreme Jade Emperor's Heart Seal Subtle Scripture?"

"No! The jade token indeed contains the Supreme Jade Emperor's Heart Seal Subtle Scripture! It's just that everything isn't what you know!" The old man, shaped like a fierce ghost in the blue smoke, suddenly sneered, "Yu Sanniang! You caused me to suffer five hundred years of confinement back then! I, Taiyinzi, swore that if I broke free from this cage, I would ensure you never reincarnate!"

"You are... Taiyinzi? The traitor your sect expelled back then?" Yang Taizi's expression became even more awkward.

"Traitor? Hahahaha! Ridiculous!" The one called Taiyinzi burst into mad laughter, "Ridiculous, ridiculous! Back then, if it weren't for that slut Yu Sanniang framing me, how would I have been expelled from the sect by my master! That demoness who should have been torn to shreds a thousand times!"

Hearing this, Su Houde couldn't listen any longer and angrily said, "Demon! You're not allowed to insult San Niang! You separated us for hundreds of years back then, and now you're slandering her... I, I won't let you go!"

Perhaps due to excessive fear back then, even though he mustered all his courage to say these words, Su Houde couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably at this moment.

Taiyinzi sneered, "Idiot! Do you think that demoness truly loved you to the extreme? Let me tell you! That slut is skilled in scheming! She pretended to be in love with you, but in reality, she was merely using you as a cauldron for her worldly heart cultivation! The deeper you loved her, the more she cherished you, and when you faced immense sorrow during your separation, that was her true objective!"

"Nonsense! You're talking nonsense!"

"Nonsense? Hahahaha!" Taiyinzi laughed mournfully, "Look at my appearance! Five hundred years ago, I was resentful of that demoness's frame-up. When she left the mountain and entered the imperial palace, I followed her the entire time! How she captivated you, how she used the 'true love' between you two to cultivate her Supreme Forgetfulness Dao Heart, I saw it all clearly! Only you, oblivious, truly believed you had met the love of your life? Did you really think she loved you, willing to give herself to you? Under the moonlight? Let me tell you! That was just the lowest form of illusion! You were merely living a fleeting, empty dream! Idiot! Idiot!"

"Do you know that the moment the Emperor ordered your execution, Yu Sanniang succeeded! She watched you be beheaded with her own eyes and shed tears of profound sorrow! At that very moment, her Supreme Forgetfulness Dao Heart reached minor completion! Her power greatly increased, and I was no match for her! Emperor Xianzong ordered me to deal with Yu Sanniang, but I was defeated, and ultimately, she beat out my three souls and seven spirits, sealing them into these two White Jade Tokens! She then impersonated me, handed the White Jade Tokens to Emperor Xianzong, faked her death, and escaped, living freely ever since! Hmph, everyone was within her calculations! Only you, you idiot, lingering as a vengeful spirit for five hundred years, unwilling to dissipate! Don't you think you're an idiot!?"

"You're lying to me! I don't believe you! I don't believe you!"

Su Houde charged towards Taiyinzi in the blue smoke like a madman, flailing his fists and arms, but he couldn't hit the smoke that had no body at all. Eventually, exhausted, he collapsed on the ground, his voice hoarse and his expression lost, repeatedly murmuring, "You're lying to me... you're lying to me... you all lied to me... San Niang was sincere with me! Sincere!!"

"I lied to you? Idiot! If I lied to you, then why isn't Yu Sanniang sealed in this jade token, but me?" Taiyinzi sneered, "Think carefully, whenever you two were intimate, didn't you feel a sense of fatigue? Did your consciousness become hazy? When a man and woman are intimate, it should be a moment of passion and excitement! You weren't drinking, nor were you ill, so how could you always be so muddled?! This matter should have been clear if you just thought about it, but you were too deeply involved and unwilling to consider it carefully! Now, lingering as a vengeful spirit for five hundred years, isn't it due to your own ignorance and foolishness?"

"You're lying to me!!!!"

Su Houde suddenly stood up. This time, he didn't charge forward like a madman, but instead, madly... rushed out of the cargo hold.

Luo Qiu frowned and looked at You Ye. You Ye flicked her fingers, and a faint light shot into Su Houde's back, causing him to immediately collapse on the ground.

Then... this was awkward again.

Let's look at the current situation.

A hundred-year-old ghost emerging from a White Jade Token, a vengeful spirit lingering for five hundred years, and the cultivation sect behind all this. It looked like a family matter, with no relation to Luo Qiu whatsoever.

No... the connection was probably that one White Jade Token belonged to the Club, and the other was nominally Luo Qiu's as well (he had bid for it at the auction). So, both jade tokens were considered his.

"Hmm... Yu Sanniang can be considered the epitome of ancient manipulative women," Luo Qiu said after a moment of thought, breaking the silence.

But this attempt to break the silence only made the situation more awkward.

Taiyinzi suddenly became furious, "Kid! Smash the White Jade Token in your hand! My three souls once fell into the hands of that butterfly demon, I know about you! This is not your territory! Otherwise, I'll make sure you have a miserable death!"

"Are you trying to scare me?" Luo Qiu said calmly, "If I hadn't let you out, do you think you could have escaped the jade token's seal? I've also wasted over ten minutes."

Shaking his head, the White Jade Token's faint light retracted. The blue smoke seemed to be sucked back into the jade token, splitting into two streams. Finally, Taiyinzi let out a mournful wail and disappeared.

Now, only the relatively clear-headed Yang Taizi and his disciple, along with Luo Qiu, remained.

Luo Qiu suddenly waved his hand, and a black flame condensed in his palm, forming a Black Card without any gold imprint.

The Black Card shot out and embedded itself in the concrete floor at Yang Taizi's feet.

Luo Qiu said expressionlessly, "These two jade tokens are also mine. If you want them back, bring something of equivalent value to exchange!"

As soon as Luo Qiu finished speaking, Yang Taizi felt an extremely powerful mental force sweep over him, causing his consciousness to be drawn away. With almost no reaction, Yang Taizi collapsed on the ground.

"Master, what should we do with this Su Houde?" You Ye asked.

Luo Qiu said calmly, "He and I have no enmity or grudges, so what's there to do with him? He's just a pitiable person."

You Ye said, "Doesn't Master plan to make a deal with him? His soul has drifted in the mortal world for five hundred years, making him excellent merchandise."

Luo Qiu had his own standards for acting. He shook his head and said, "If he truly needs it, he'll find us... won't he? Besides..."

"Besides?"

Luo Qiu smiled and said, "It's quite thrilling to show off and then leave."

You Ye said nothing further. The two of them left the cargo ship and headed towards the airport.

Not long after, Yang Taizi slowly woke up. Looking at the Black Card left beside him, he instinctively picked it up and held it in his hand, remaining silent.

When his disciple woke up and saw this, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, what is this?"

Yang Taizi's face wasn't entirely certain as he hesitated, "Perhaps... it's a legend that has been passed down for a very, very long time. Could it be... that the legend is true?"

"Master, as you instructed, the White Jade Token has been sent via anonymous express delivery. For same-city delivery, it should reach that woman surnamed Dong tomorrow."

As they entered the airport, You Ye returned to Luo Qiu's side after completing her task, reporting, and then asked with confusion, "Master, You Ye doesn't understand, the White Jade Token has been found, why send it back?"

Luo Qiu said while looking at the airport magazine, "If we don't send it back, how will we resolve the situation later? I don't want them to bother us day after day because they can't find the jade token. Anyway, the woman surnamed Dong promised to deliver it personally once it was found."

He flipped through the magazine again, "Then we'll wait for her to deliver it, and then it'll be over, saving trouble. Besides, we already know the secret of this jade token, so a day or two doesn't make much difference."

You Ye nodded and said nothing.

Luo Qiu suddenly smiled and said, "Don't you think I'm being too cautious? As the owner of the Club, to be restricted by these worldly things, isn't that beneath my dignity?"

"You Ye dares not," she replied.

Luo Qiu shook his head. "There's nothing you shouldn't dare to say. You'll be with me for a very long time, and if you can't speak your mind, it will be quite boring."

You Ye could only say, "Master truly doesn't need to be restricted by the rules and regulations of the secular world."

Luo Qiu said, "I think so too... but not right now. That's right, I'm the boss of the Club now, but that's only been the case for a week. Before that, I was a normal person for twenty years. The education I received, the concepts I've formed, and society's prevailing morals are still very strong. Clearly, this past week isn't enough to overturn my past."

Luo Qiu paused. "So, at least until I've completely gotten used to it, I won't be staying at the Club all day, let alone like the previous boss who could listen to a music box for an entire day, unmoved by anything in the world. Do you understand? The fact that I'm still living in society?"

You Ye nodded somewhat blankly.

Luo Qiu smiled. "Perhaps if you could remember who you were before becoming an automaton, you would understand."

This time, You Ye shook her head with absolute certainty. "There's no need. You Ye's purpose in existence is to serve the Club and obey the Club owner's commands. That is enough."

Luo Qiu didn't want to say too much—saying too much would also bore him.

So he simply closed the magazine in his hand, put it back, and stood up. "There's still some time before boarding. Shall we go buy something to take back and shut Ren Ziling up? Otherwise, she might nag me all night."
