Learn to Adapt

Early in the morning, two sentries were patrolling the Qiu Luoye's Territory when they suddenly spotted a plump figure leading a dozen or so people walking on a path newly built by the Three-Headed People.

The Three-Headed People's dwelling is not far ahead. What are they going to do?

Judging from their clothes, these people were clearly not pioneers. Zhi Gua sensed something was wrong and quickly went to find Ma Wu.

Ma Wu pushed away the spotted snake on the bed, put on his clothes, and went to the Three-Headed People's dwelling.

Upon seeing that round figure, Ma Wu was startled.

Liao Zihui, the General Envoy, actually came in person.

He brought more than a dozen subordinates, all of whom were considered important figures in the Guanfang Hall, including Cai Junshan, the Guanfang Envoy of the Sinner City.

Cai Junshan called Juanzi over and instructed her, "You're the leader, right? Tell everyone to come out; it's time to go back."

Juanzi was terrified, even having difficulty breathing. She recognized Cai Junshan; she had witnessed his various methods and knew that Cai Junshan had made countless Three-Headed People wish they were dead. This fear was deeply ingrained in her Bone Marrow.

Even the usually impulsive Mengzi fell silent; the beads of sweat on his forehead were more numerous than Juanzi's.

Seeing that Juanzi didn't dare to respond, Aunt Fang said from the side, "Guanfang Envoy, you can let us go back, but there are some things you need to say first..."

Cai Junshan glanced at Aunt Fang: "I wasn't talking to you!"

Aunt Fang lowered her head and remained silent. Cai Junshan looked at Juanzi and said, "This is the last chance I'm giving you. If it weren't for General Envoy arrival of the Grand Envoy, I wouldn't even bother to look at you. I should have ordered you all to be killed without mercy!"

Pack your things, everyone come with me!

The Three-Headed People all looked at Juanzi, but Juanzi didn't move, and neither did they.

Cai Junshan frowned and said, "What's going on? Didn't you understand what I just said?"

Ma Wu stepped forward with a smile and said, "Guanfang Envoy, let's talk things out slowly and not ruin our harmony."

Cai Junshan looked at Ma Wu and asked, "Who are you?"

Liao Zihui smiled and said, "Junshan, this is my friend."

Cai Junshan glared at Ma Wu, then said nothing more.

Does he really not know Ma Wu?

Although Sinner City is quite far from Green Water Bay, Ma Wu must have been seen in the newspapers.

This was Liao Zihui's order: upon meeting Ma Wu his power so he wouldn't dare interrupt.

Liao Zihui stepped forward again to offer a few words of comfort, hoping to save face for Ma Wu, and Ma Wu would then stop talking.

"General Envoy Liao," Ma Wu said, looking at Liao Zihui, "What do you think this is...?"

Liao Zihui glanced at Ma Wu and sighed softly, saying, "Jun Yang, you shouldn't get involved in this matter."

Cai Junshan turned to the group of Three-Headed People, "Watch closely, no one can help you today except me."

I'm giving you thirty seconds. Gather here immediately within thirty seconds, or I won't be polite...

As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Junshan knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to the group of Three-Headed People.

Juanzi was stunned, and all Three-Headed People were stunned.

Why is the Guanfang Envoy so polite today?

Because his head was being held down by Li Banfeng.

Cai Junshan raised his head, about to shout, when Li Banfeng pressed his head down and made him kowtow again.

Several bodyguards rushed up and saw that Cai Junshan's head was being held in Li Banfeng's hand. They didn't know what to do, so they turned to Liao Zihui, Liao Zihui ordered all the bodyguards to set up the Steam Gun.

In Pro State, gunpowder was unreliable, but Steam Gun, which relied on high-temperature High-Pressure Steam, were very stable.

Li Banfeng as if he hadn't seen anything, pressed Cai Junshan's head down and made him kowtow three times on the ground, breaking Cai Junshan's head.

Cai Junshan's eyes were red, whether from fright or pain, it was hard to tell.

Li Banfeng tossed Cai Junshan aside and asked, "Xiao Shan, why are you crying?"

Cai Junshan gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't!"

"I wasn't talking to you," Li Banfeng turned to look at Juanzi's third head, wiped away his tears. The child's name was Xiao Shan. "What are you afraid of? Don't cry."

Xiao Shan sobbed, "As long as Seventh Master is here, I'm not afraid."

Cai Junshan, standing behind Li Banfeng, gritted his teeth and said, "You just hit me?"

Li Banfeng turned around and asked, "Who are you?"

Cai Junshan angrily replied, "I am the Guanfang Envoy of the Sinner City."

"What Guanfang Envoy of the Sinner City doing here? Is this even the Sinner City?"

Cai Junshan, "I am acting on the General Envoy the Generalissimo..."

"Who are your parents? Haven't they ever disciplined you? How can you speak so rudely?"

Cai Junshan, unable to contain himself any longer, pointed at Li Banfeng and said, "Li Qi, I'm only speaking to you out of respect. Who do you think you are...?"

Snap!

Li Banfeng slapped Cai Junshan across the face, but with too much force, tearing a layer of skin off Cai Junshan cheek.

"Is this all you have to show for yourself?" Li Banfeng looked at the layer of skin on his hand.

Cai Junshan covered his face, making muffled noises, and it was unclear what he was saying.

"I don't like your face, you can keep it yourself."

Snap!

Li Banfeng slapped Cai Junshan's right cheek.

Cai Junshan couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.

He was a ruthless man, a ruthless man who killed without hesitation.

But after so long in Pro State, Li Banfeng has come to a conclusion: tough guys like Cai Junshan, who have a fierce look on their faces, have generally never been beaten.

Li Banfeng was right. Cai Junshan had never been beaten before. He cried his heart out, and the projector carefully recorded the precious scene.

Liao Zihui's bodyguards didn't move. Cai Junshan's two bodyguards wanted to rush up, but they felt they were no match for Li Qi and would definitely suffer if they did.

It's okay to suffer a little loss; it's a bodyguard's duty. But Li Qi seems to be quite heavy-handed. If you offend him, you'll probably suffer a lot.

Why suffer so much just to become a bodyguard?

The salary offered by the Guanfang Hall is not very high. Is it worth suffering so much? What if you get seriously injured or even lose your life?

Why would these two bodyguards think so much? Protecting Cai Junshan is their duty; these things are clearly not something they should be thinking about.

Chu Er raised an eyebrow at Li Banfeng from a distance. Just now, she had used the fourth level of her Sufferance Cultivator technique, "Sufferance of Sorrowful Thoughts," on the two bodyguards, silently plunging them into negativity and pessimism.

Liao Zihui had Cai Junshan taken back to the car. It was really embarrassing for him to keep crying like that.

He looked up at Li Qi on the hillside and calmly said, "My coming here today may be a bit presumptuous, but we need to make things clear."

If our attitude was bad, we can apologize to you, but harboring sinners from the Sinner City is wrong of you.

Li Qi looked down at Liao Zihui and asked, "What crimes have they committed?"

Liao Zihui laughed and said, "Let's not talk about what crimes they committed. Let's talk about why you shouldn't have harbored criminals."

Li Qi shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about whether I've hidden any criminals or not. I just want to ask you, what crimes have they committed?"

Li Banfeng doesn't buy into the "don't say anything yet" approach, which puts Liao Zihui at a disadvantage.

Then he could only rephrase it. "Whether these people are guilty or not is not for me to decide, that is..."

"You don't have the final say, so what are you talking to me about?" Li Banfeng interrupted Liao Zihui directly. "Have your parents come to me, find the one who has the final say."

Liao Zihui's veins throbbed; those words were infuriating, but he never expected them to be this infuriating.

Why are you so angry?

Because Ma Wu was trying to persuade him from the side.

"General Envoy Liao, calm down. What Seventh Brother said is not an exaggeration at all; it makes a lot of sense. So, who's in charge here?"

He was using the Joy Cultivation Technique.

"General Envoy Liao, you can't always rely on your big mouth to silence others. Explain clearly what crimes they have committed." Lu Chunying led Tan Fucheng and Lu Yuanxin over.

"I went to bed late last night and was thinking of catching up on sleep today, but I've been making such a fuss all morning." He Yuxiu yawned as she came to Li Qi's side.

Upon seeing Liao Zihui, He Yuxiu laughed, "Oh, isn't this General Envoy Liao? It's been so many days, and you still haven't killed me. Are you getting impatient?"

The He Family, the Lu Family, the Ma family, and the Chu family.

Ma Wu is not considered a member of the Ma family in the traditional sense, but Liao Zihui knows that Ma Junyang's current status in Pro State is above that of his father, Ma Chunting.

The fact that all Four Great Families were standing next to Li Qi gave Liao Zihui an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Liao Zihui shouted, "Is the Local Earth God here?"

"Yes!" Qiu Luoye responded.

"Can you say something?"

"Yes!" Qiu Luoye responded a second time.

Liao Zihui said, "I said before that no one can harbor sinners from the Sinner City. Now they've all come to your territory. Don't you owe me an explanation?"

"Get out!" Qiu Luoye gave Liao Zihui an explanation.

Liao Zihui was still not giving up. "You mean, get these sinners out of your territory?"

"I told you to get lost!" Qiu Luoye was forced to make her point so clearly.

Liao Zihui's veins throbbed again, and everyone around him was ready for battle.

Li Qi advised him, "Zihui, go home. It's quite shabby here."

Liao Zihui's eyes flashed coldly as he looked at Li Qi and said, "Just for these three-headed men, just for these monsters, you really had to go this far?"

Li Banfeng said, "Don't call others monsters casually; it easily reveals your lack of manners."

Liao Zihui raised his voice. "They're monsters. That's what they've been called in Pro State for years. You still have a lot of rules to learn, and there's so much you don't understand!"

He was deliberately provoking Li Qi.

Li Banfeng wasn't angry. Instead, he earnestly advised, "The environment in Pro State has changed, and you're finding it hard to keep up with those changes."

Liao Zihui shook his head and said, "I don't like change, and I'm not very adaptable to it."

Li Banfeng continued to advise, "People can't expect the environment to adapt to them; they have to take the initiative to adapt to the environment. Zihui, you really need to learn to adapt in the future."

Liao Zihui's cheek twitched. He himself often said this before, and he felt that it was both reasonable and powerful.

Now, when he hears those words again, he feels they are so hateful, yet they linger in his mind.

Liao Zihui gave the order and led his men away from the Qiu Luoye's Territory.

Juanzi knelt down in front of Li Banfeng with a thud, about to kowtow.

Li Banfeng pulled Juanzi up, and the other Three-Headed People were about to kneel as well, Li Banfeng shouted, "No kneeling! Stand up straight and speak!"

"It's almost dawn." He Yuxiu looked up at the sky, where the light was increasing and the gloomy fog was almost gone.

Lu Chunying said, "Seventh Brother, my mother has been looking for a lot of books lately and has read a lot of records about the Proper Land. There are some things that need to be prepared for as soon as possible."

Xiao Yeci nodded and said, "My Benefactor, the ten thousand people must arrive as soon as possible, and the original inhabitants of the new land must also be settled as soon as possible."

Qiu Luoye appeared beside Li Banfeng: "Is there any way for me to keep a few of my old brothers? I can't bear to part with them."

Li Banfeng looked at Xiao Yeci, Xiao Yeci nodded and said, "There is a way, but the rules are a bit complicated!"
