Luo Cang was troubled by his thoughts and could not help but ordered with a gloomy face: "Come here."
Luo Jiujiang came over confused.
The young man stood straight, like a wooden pillar in front of Luo Cang. Luo Cang had to look up to see him. He added unhappily, "Squat down."
Luo Jiujiang squatted down in a daze.
Luo Cang lowered his head and stared at the other party for a long time. Finally, his head slammed against Luo Jiujiang's forehead, causing the unprepared Luo Jiujiang to scream miserably.
Luo Cang felt relieved.
He let out a long sigh, and said angrily: "You are so smart, why can't you be a little dumber!"
Luo Jiujiang: "..." He's so smart, but who did he offend? If he was really smart, he wouldn't squat down and get beaten!
——————————
That night when Luo Jiujiang returned to his courtyard, Han Qianling was standing at the gate with his hands behind his back. When he saw him coming, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"How did you get into such a mess?" Luo Jiujiang's whole body was soaked with sweat. Even though he was blown by the cold wind at night, the dark marks on his clothes had not yet dried and stuck to his body.
"I don't know why Master dislikes me." Luo Jiujiang spread his hands helplessly, "Why are you waiting here?"
"Qinghui is here, and he's brought a new friend with him," Han Qianling said briefly. He waited for Luo Jiujiang to reach him before opening the gate. "I just heard your footsteps, so I went out to greet you."
As they were talking, the two walked into the courtyard. A young man sitting at the table in the courtyard sipping tea laughed when he saw Luo Jiujiang's appearance: "Jiujiang, you just walked back like this?"
"I've been in worse shape many times. Everyone on the island has seen me." Luo Jiujiang answered casually. He went into the house, quickly changed his clothes, and re-combed his hair. When he reappeared, he looked like a handsome young man.
Yue Qinghui introduced the young man beside him to him: "His surname is Dong, his given name is Shuang Yu, and he doesn't like to go out. This time the Seven Islands Competition will be held on your Daimao Island. When you meet him, you must take care of him for me."
"Of course that's easy." Luo Jiujiang agreed readily, and the young man next to Yue Qinghui didn't say anything, but he also saluted Luo Jiujiang.
The young man had a slender figure, delicate features, and skin as white as goat fat. Even at dusk, he was faintly illuminated by a layer of light. Luo Jiujiang couldn't help but take another look, and received two indifferent glances from Dong Shuangyu.
"I heard that you beat up Du Di a few days ago?" Yue Qinghui asked interestedly as soon as Luo Jiujiang sat down.
Luo Jiujiang calmly clapped his hands and said with a smile, "They say bad news spreads a thousand miles, how come you all knew about my great deed so quickly?"
Yue Qinghui laughed and said, "Shuangyu, look, there are people in the world who are so shameless."
"How can telling the truth be considered shameless?" Luo Jiujiang tutted. "If I beat Du Di to death, the Du family would have to give me a plaque that read 'Eliminate Harm for the People'—and by the way, how did you know that Du Di had the nerve to spread such a shameful beating?"
"Ask Shuangyu, I heard it from him."
Dong Shuangyu had been drinking tea with his head down, but when Yue Qinghui called him, he looked up. He slowly scraped the tea foam with the tea lid before speaking his first words since meeting Luo Jiujiang.
"Mr. Luo, you may not know that Du Di's elder brother Du Chuan has returned to the island recently."
Du Chuan is Du Di's eldest brother. He used to practice in the Jinkui Sect in the Clouded Leopard Realm. At the age of 23, he has already reached the third level of foundation building. He is a young talent who is highly valued by the sect.
"Hmm?" Luo Jiujiang's train of thought was momentarily distracted. "No way, is Du Di's IQ really that low? If he wanted to stop me, why did he call his eldest brother back from the sect? Are those guest officials and lackeys of his family just for show?"
Han Qianling rubbed his brow helplessly and reminded: "Seven Islands Competition."
Du Chuan had come all this way not just to give his brother a fight. He had come for the generous prizes of the Seven Islands Competition, and of course he would beat up Luo Jiujiang as revenge.
"Okay, okay." Luo Jiujiang cheered up and clapped his hands quickly. "After beating the younger one, it's time for the older one—but haven't they forgotten that these two brothers are older than me?"
Everyone laughed in silence.
This was his first connection with the entire Three Thousand Worlds, his unique anchor in the entire world. He couldn't treat Luo Jiujiang as food, and of course he couldn't destroy this small world that held all their memories.
A hint of violent fluctuation finally appeared in Han Qianling's completely crazy eyes!
The turbulent spiritual energy around him had formed a vortex, as if waiting to frantically devour the entire small world at some point. But at this moment, this vortex slowly and laboriously turned in the opposite direction.
Han Qianling struggled to suppress his spiritual energy and cultivation, pressing them back into his body inch by inch. This was so difficult, as if a person was desperately trying to stuff back into his spine that had been pulled out of his body.
Everyone has a few "I can'ts" in their hearts. Some people can't kill, some can't set fire, and some can't betray.
As for Han Qianling, he has been demanding himself for the past fourteen years. He must not go crazy, must not give up, and must not lose control of the hatred that is born from his soul and is always difficult to get rid of.
This kind of restraint and endurance had almost become an innate instinct, so much so that when he regained a little bit of his rationality, the hunger and madness that swept through his body were slowly and effectively suppressed.
Luo Jiujiang was fast asleep next door, with a robe covered with salt crystals lying at the foot of his bed.
