The Rest Is None of Your Concern
"Don't panic."
After a moment's thought, Luo Tianyou replied telepathically:
"First, apologize to him sincerely and humbly. After that, you don't need to worry about anything else."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yao's eyes immediately lit up with excitement:
"Thank you, Vice Prince! Thank you, Vice Prince!"
Her efforts to cultivate yin and replenish yang were not in vain.
At this crucial moment, the deputy patriarch has proven to be very reliable.
After that, you don't need to worry about it anymore; isn't it just about protecting yourself?
At that moment, Jiang Yao felt a little relieved.
Then, he stepped forward, bowed deeply to Lu Changzhi, and knelt down, trying to appear as kind as possible, saying:
"Young master, Jiang Yao has offended me greatly before. I hope you will forgive my past transgressions."
As he spoke, he bowed his head and kowtowed.
Just as Jiang Yao's head reached its lowest point.
Luo Tianyou's voice suddenly rang out, tinged with righteous indignation:
"Young master, she not only offended you, but also tried to morally blackmail you. Such a despicable person deserves to die!"
As he spoke, a long, grayish-purple blade appeared in his hand, its sharpness gleaming. Without any hesitation, he slashed straight at the back of Jiang Yao's neck, who was about to raise her head.
The sudden surge of power startled Jiang Yao, who immediately looked up to react.
However, how could such a sudden change possibly give her enough time?
The blade slashes, the head is raised.
Jiang Yao's head traced a low parabola.
The scene before my eyes kept spinning, and then the edges around me began to turn gray and black very quickly.
Before her soul dissipated, Jiang Yao's only thought was Luo Tianyou's words, "You don't need to worry about it."
On the other side.
Du Sheng looked at Jiang Yao, whose head had been severed and who had died instantly, and his body trembled for no reason.
A flood of emotions and thoughts welled up in Du Sheng's mind in an instant.
He's known Jiang Yao for many years.
Despite the fact that the other party was also a member of the Domain Masters and had a conflict with him, and that the other party had recently joined forces with the management of the Domain Administration Hall to rip him off.
But now, he has been so easily beheaded here.
His death was utterly uneventful; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say his life was as cheap as paper.
Finally, Du Sheng out a soft sigh.
"Young master, she dared to disrespect you; her execution is well-deserved."
Luo Tianyou looked at Lu Changzhi.
It took him many years and a lot of effort to climb to this position.
He was very clear that there were many things in this world that could be dealt with in a way that was either big or small.
The key to determining the magnitude of the punishment lies in the attitude of the party being dealt with.
He can't win in a competition, he can't beat them in a fight, and he can't even show the right attitude. Even if he dies, he deserves it.
Instead of doing that, we should think of a way to let the other person vent their anger or eliminate their dissatisfaction.
If others are even slightly satisfied, there's a chance that a major issue can be minimized, and a minor issue can be resolved altogether.
At this moment, Luo Tianyou carefully observed Lu Changzhi's reaction, hoping that his method would work.
"What a pity."
But then Lu Changzhi spoke up.
He hadn't expected Luo Tianyou to act so decisively, and to kill him with a single blow.
Jiang Yao is at the Dao Realm.
If he comes to help others, he can help preserve a lot of resources.
"However, he's already dead now."
With this thought in mind, Lu Changzhi's gaze fell on Jiang Yao's corpse, and he said:
"I have a pet bird, and it's been eating quite well lately."
Upon hearing this, Luo Tianyou's eyes immediately lit up. He pointed to Jiang Yao's corpse and said proactively:
"Young master, it was just killed; it's very fresh."
"How about I shave off the parts that don't feel good?"
Lu Changzhi waved his hand, "We don't mind eating coarse food; just swallow it directly, no need for processing."
With that, Lu Changzhi gently waved his hand, releasing the force to collect Jiang Yao's body.
"Digging up a Dao-level tomb should bring Zhong Ming considerable benefits."
Lu Changzhi thought to himself.
Previously, his first thought would have been to hoard them for a rainy day.
Ultimately, however, it is one's level of understanding and actual strength that truly matter.
Improving your skill level and treating ultimate moves like basic attacks is what's more important.
"Alright, let's leave it at that for today."
Looking up, Lu Changzhi spoke.
Since this happened, I haven't had a break in ages.
He could already feel the call of the bed.
"Call."
Hearing Lu Changzhi say this, Luo Tianyou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally..."
Fortunately, the person I'm dealing with is relatively easy to appease.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I would be...
I was just halfway through feeling relieved.
Xiao Qian's voice suddenly rang out.
"Tianyou, you've acted arbitrarily in punishing others, even going so far as to execute someone. As the deputy hall master, don't you know the rules of the sect?"
Luo Tianyou's expression froze as he looked at Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian remained calm and said:
"This matter will be reported for review. Whether you are still competent to serve as the deputy hall master is highly debatable. Until the results are in, you are suspended from using any related powers and are not allowed to leave the Withering and Flourishing Sect. You should be clear about the relevant procedures."
After hearing these words, Luo Tianyou's face was filled with helplessness and disappointment.
The person I hate isn't someone else, but the impulsive version of myself from before.
"Luo Tianyou, you're really stupid!"
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. Jiang Yao ruined our mood; it would have been better to go after her directly. Why did she have to come here of all times? Now look what's happened! All our hard work over a thousand years is gone, gone!"
Perhaps thinking about what he would be like later, Luo Tianyou suddenly appeared somewhat aged.
At the same time, Xiao Qian smiled and said to Lu Changzhi:
"If you have time, young friend, you can visit the Withering and Flourishing Sect another day, where I will prepare a grand feast to properly apologize for these matters."
"Withering and Flourishing Sect"
Lu Changzhi suddenly thought of Xiang Li and said:
"Is there a man named Xiang Li in the Five Continents Domain? Is he in your Withering and Flourishing Sect?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qian looked at Du Sheng, who was standing to the side.
A look of surprise flashed in Du Sheng's eyes, and he said:
"Young master, he is currently under my tutelage."
After a pause, Du Sheng tentatively asked:
"I wonder why you mentioned him, young master...?"
If he's an enemy, he'll go back and bring him over; but if not, then it's a different story. It all depends on what the young man says.
Lu Changzhi smiled and said:
"He's quite good and worth nurturing, but he can't be kept in a cage; he needs to be allowed to roam freely."
Du Sheng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
Xiao Qian had already realized what was happening and quickly smiled:
"Since you know Xiang Li, sir, please rest assured, I will apply for a series of training programs for him as soon as I get back. Do you have any other requests?"
"Thank you for your trouble," Lu Changzhi said with a smile, then added:
"That's all."
With that, Lu Changzhi prepared to leave.
At this moment, Xiao Qian hurriedly sent a telepathic message to Du Sheng, signaling him not to forget the important matter.
Today's actions are basically based on the assumption that this boy is that boy.
However, a hypothesis is ultimately just a hypothesis and needs to be verified before it can become a fact or conclusion.
Du Sheng's task was to conduct the verification.
Right now, the other person is more approachable than expected, so verifying whether they are indeed the one shouldn't be too difficult.
