Chu Xiudao truly struggled to understand. With Chen Yi's current strength, even if he could not run rampant through every prefecture of the Central Plains, he could at least do as he pleased in Shuzhou.
Among the experts of Shuzhou's major factions, aside from Master Jingci of Wumeng Mountain, there was not a second Earthly Immortal. Even the old fellows in the Great Grandmaster Realm could be counted on one hand.
With such strength, there was no need for schemes and calculations. He could simply charge in and kill, and no one could stop him.
Yet Chen Yi insisted on...
Before Chen Yi could explain, Liu Lang said with a smile, "Master, that's just how the boss is. Unless necessary, he won't choose to act personally."
"Back then..."
He went on to recount the things he had done while following Chen Yi, his tone filled with undisguised respect.
Scheming to such a degree was unheard of.
After listening, Chu Xiudao vaguely understood. He said thoughtfully, "Chen Kid, are you worried that making too much of a commotion would bring trouble to the Xiao Family-er... Shuzhou?"
"That's part of the consideration."
Chen Yi smiled. "The Nine Provinces and Three Prefectures of the Central Plains are far too vast. There may well be unknown experts hidden away somewhere. There's no great harm in being cautious."
That was what he said.
But what Chu Xiudao had mentioned was indeed the real reason.
Aristocratic families, the Imperial Court, and the jianghu all existed in the Central Plains, but each abided by different rules.
He could use strength to subdue Jianghu guests, but he could not be so reckless with people of the Imperial Court.
Otherwise, even with world-shaking might, he would have charges pinned on him and invite unwarranted trouble.
