After Xu Yaoyang returned to the Great Sun Sacred Ground, he had been wondering how he should play along with the Saint Lord this time.
After all, the eldest young master had truly died once in the Star Sea Secret Realm.
As it turned out, Xu Yaoyang had overthought things.
The Great Sun Saint Lord paid no mind to the matter at all. He did not even ask about it.
But that did not mean Xu Yaoyang was free of trouble.
For instance, after his resurrection, He Fangxu came looking for Xu Yaoyang as soon as he returned and grabbed him by the collar.
"I clearly sensed your presence back then. You stood there and watched me get... Why didn't you save me?"
Xu Yaoyang said, "Huh? What?"
He simply played dumb.
He Fangxu's expression was extremely dark.
"Xu Yaoyang, do you really think you're the Saint Son of the Great Sun Sacred Ground? If I want to, starting today, I'll have countless ways to make life impossible for you here."
"Oh, right, I remember you brought your old man and younger brother here, didn't you?"
Splat!
Before He Fangxu could finish, Xu Yaoyang shattered his head with a punch.
He Fangxu's life-saving jade talisman broke, and that burst watermelon became whole again, as though time had reversed.
He Fangxu stared blankly at Xu Yaoyang.
Xu Yaoyang, meanwhile, looked at He Fangxu with a beaming smile.
"What were you trying to say just now? I didn't quite hear you. Say it again!"
He Fangxu roared, "How dare you..."
This time, Xu Yaoyang did not rush to strike. He merely looked at the guards He Fangxu had brought.
"I'll give you a chance. Seize He Fangxu."
None of the guards dared move.
Xu Yaoyang smiled.
Won't obey?
Perfect.
Splat, splat, splat...
