Saint Lord Taichu nodded. "Fine. Since you've already said all this, as your master, I'll naturally choose to believe my disciple. I have nothing else to say. But since you've said it, you'd better do it behind my back as well. Otherwise, if I find out you're stabbing me from both sides behind my back..."
"Then you'll learn what a real mistake is. And there's something you need to understand clearly."
"Only by following me can you have a good future. If you don't follow me, then in the days ahead, you'll learn what a true mistake is."
"The major sects outside all do as I say. In front of me, they don't even dare fart. Do you understand how great my influence is? That's why I'm telling you to behave yourself when it's time to behave yourself. Otherwise, it won't do you any good to leave yourself such enormous trouble."
After saying this, Saint Lord Taichu immediately summoned him before him. Smiling, Saint Lord Taichu said, "Tieqiu, you're different from your Junior Brother Iron Egg. He is naturally stupid and ignorant, but overall, you have far more potential than he does."
"And besides, he's foolish and reckless, while you're quite clever. Having you and your Junior Brother stay by my side is for your own good. It isn't because I want to attack you, suppress you, or destroy your self-respect and confidence."
After only a few words, Tieqiu immediately seemed to understand. He said to Saint Lord Taichu, "Master, hearing you say that truly warms my heart. In my eyes, I've always respected you greatly, and I know that without you, I would be nothing. It was only because of you that I had the life I have."
His words sounded especially awkward, yet Tieqiu had to admit it.
