Thinking of this, Le Zhengyue's gaze gradually calmed.
Once he had settled on a general plan, Le Zhengyue summoned one of the elders who had been accompanying him.
When the elder heard Le Zhengyue tell him to destroy a sect, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Boy, destroying a sect is certainly possible, but I want you to give me an explanation."
"Our Yue Family may be powerful, but this would still mean making an enemy for life. Besides, this little sect has no connection to us at all. What good would destroying it do me?"
The old man looked at Le Zhengyue, a trace of puzzlement in his eyes.
As Le Zhengyue's guardians, the two of them would certainly obey him, but the order he had given this time was far too ruthless.
He wanted them to wipe out an entire sect—a sect with more than three hundred members—and kill every last one of them. The idea was far too cruel.
Even though the old man was already a Super Douluo, he still couldn't understand what Le Zhengyue was thinking.
Looking at the elder, Le Zhengyue remained calm. "Great-grandfather, this family will cause our Yue Family a great deal of trouble."
"You should know that when I awakened my Martial Soul, some unusual phenomena appeared. In truth, my Martial Soul has another ability: prophecy."
Le Zhengyue fell silent for a moment.
Naturally, he had to explain himself to the two great-grandfathers. The abilities he had displayed so far were simply too strange.
Whether it was taking Na'er away, knowing about her in advance, abducting the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, or any number of other things, they had surely attracted plenty of attention.
So now, claiming he had the ability to foresee the future would give him a way to gloss over all of it.
Whether the clan elders and senior elders—or his great-grandfathers—believed him didn't really matter. He just needed to offer an explanation.
His actions had benefited him. Anyone could see that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was extraordinary, yet he had taken it with ease.
Both great-grandfathers had seen this for themselves. They weren't fools. There were simply many things they didn't want to say—or couldn't bring themselves to say.
After Le Zhengyue told him that he had the ability to prophesy, the old man sat there in silence.
"You say you can see the future. Did you see the Mysterious Underworld Sect attacking us, or wiping out our Yue Family?"
The old man's tone had grown serious, but under his gaze, Le Zhengyue's voice remained as calm as ever.
"Great-grandfather, the Mysterious Underworld Sect's young master is called Xu Sanshi."
"He'll play a part in the destruction of our Yue Family. He'll even be one of the ringleaders."
"So I ask you to take action and wipe out the Mysterious Underworld Sect."
"If you kill Xu Sanshi—or if he dies easily—I'm willing to return home and bear the blame. I'll ask to enter the Ancestral Hall and cultivate in seclusion for three years."
"I have just one request. When Grandpa Su goes, I hope he'll give it everything he's got and find a way to kill Xu Sanshi outright."
Le Zhengyue spoke calmly. He didn't know whether Xu Sanshi had any backup plans, how many memories he had brought back with him, or what trump cards he might have.
But sending his great-grandfather to deal with him would provide an answer. It would be best if Xu Sanshi died; if he survived, there would still be other chances.
Hearing the words of the Yue Family's young master, the old man stood there in silence.
As for demanding that Le Zhengyue pay with his life if he was wrong, there was no need to joke about that. This boy was the hope of their clan's revival, its future head.
Making him cultivate in seclusion in the Ancestral Hall for three years was already the harshest punishment the old man could think of.
Sure enough, when Le Zhengyue finished speaking, the old man calmly nodded.
"Very well. I'll take action myself tonight. I'll make sure the Mysterious Underworld Sect is completely destroyed. Not a single beast will get away."
The old man rose to his feet, his eyes now icy cold. Once he had decided to act, he naturally wouldn't leave anyone alive.
Hearing this, Le Zhengyue rose with a wry smile.
"I ask that both of you great-grandfathers go together. I'll send all the guards over as well."
There was a hint of a smile in Le Zhengyue's voice, but the old man glared at him.
"You don't trust me, boy?"
"I'm a Level 97 Super Douluo. Destroying a family without even a Titled Douluo is child's play. You think I'll fail?"
The old man's tone carried a touch of exasperation. But when Le Zhengyue didn't back down and even gave him a pitiful little smile, the old man finally sighed.
"Fine, we two old men will both go. We'll have the Red Mecha attack and reduce the Mysterious Underworld Sect to dust. Will that satisfy you?"
As he spoke, the old man wore a helpless expression.
Only then did Le Zhengyue's eyes brighten slightly.
"Great-grandfather, if you can kill Xu Sanshi, then kill him outright."
"If you can't take him down with one strike, please bring him back to me."
Le Zhengyue waved at the old man as he spoke. The old man rose to his feet, and his figure vanished in an instant.
Le Zhengyue had his own reasons for asking the elder to hold back at the last moment—or to capture Xu Sanshi.
He wasn't sure whether Xu Sanshi would come back to life if he died. If he did, that would be troublesome.
And if he had a trump card that only activated when he was about to die, that would be even more dangerous.
So it would be better to capture Xu Sanshi and bring him straight back to the Yue Family. Once he was on Yue Family territory, Xu Sanshi would be at Le Zhengyue's mercy. Even if he had three heads and six arms, he wouldn't escape the Yue Family's grasp.
As he thought, Le Zhengyue stood up and gently dusted the dirt from his plain robe. He was going to find Jiang Nannan.
But before opening the door, he hesitated.
Did he really want to erase her memories?
Whether Jiang Nannan's memories were erased wasn't all that important.
For Gu Yuena, the main reason Le Zhengyue had to erase her memories was that he feared she might take revenge on him. But it was also because he genuinely liked her and wanted her to become his woman—or for both Gu Yue and Na'er to become his women.
That was why he had to erase those memories, creating the same kind of rivalry with Tang Wulin.
The same went for Wang Dong. Or rather, whether it was Wang Dong or Tang Wutong, he liked her just as much. He sincerely wanted both of them to become his women—or, more precisely, his wives.
But things were different with Jiang Nannan.
Whether Jiang Nannan had her memories or still cared about Xu Sanshi, he honestly didn't care at all.
Because Jiang Nannan would only ever become his woman, not his wife.
So even if Jiang Nannan remembered being with Xu Sanshi, or even falling in love with him, it wouldn't really affect Le Zhengyue.
Besides, wasting the precious chance to erase someone's memories on her would be a shame.
