“Behave yourself in Dragon Country. You’re treasures in Old Huang’s eyes, but in my country, you’re not even good enough to be used as trash, understand?” Li Xuanzu was too lazy to say more and slammed his hand on the table.
Those exorcists who were still alive nodded vigorously, indicating that they understood.
"Okay, meeting adjourned." Li Xuanzu said, then turned and left. Old Huang had already cleaned up the venue and completed the rest of the meeting in Li Xuanzu's stead.
It has to be said that people are indeed despicable. When given status, position, and resources by someone like Huang Lao, they take advantage of his kindness. But after Li Xuanzu's scare tactics, they all became as obedient as babies, not daring to utter a sound.
It's not that Elder Huang couldn't kill them. How strong could the bodies of exorcists be? Elder Huang himself could kill fourth-tier exorcists. With a little planning, he could defeat them one by one. It's just that he didn't make a move due to various reasons.
He knew that backing down would only lead to greater losses, but the harm of breaking off relations was far greater than that cost.
He was not an impulsive youth, and could not act rashly or impulsively out of passion. He was in a position to fulfill his duties and had many things to consider, so he could not act rashly.
Even the decision to have Li Xuanzu handle this matter was part of his strategy.
To stir up hatred.
The bloody baptism would make these exorcists think little about the matter, because the result was that Li Xuanzu killed people and humiliated everyone.
As for Old Huang, the planner of this meeting, even if people thought of him, they wouldn't feel too much hatred towards him. At most, they would just be a little annoyed, but it wouldn't lead to a complete falling out.
Li Xuanzu didn't mind anymore. In any case, Huang Lao had integrated the exorcists and taken away their resources, which was also serving Li Xuanzu. Ultimately, he and Huang Lao each got what they wanted, and the only real victims were the exorcists.
Not only did they lose face, but they also lost their resources. If they wanted to ask Elder Huang for something later, they would have to be mindful of Li Xuanzu's feelings. For these exorcists who were used to being high and mighty, this was worse than being killed.
Li Xuanzu returned to the residence arranged for him by Elder Huang, sent some messages to Fu Yu, and then went to sleep.
By the time Li Xuanzu opened his eyes again, the sun was almost setting.
Fu Yu also happened to return to her residence.
As soon as Li Xuanzu came out of the room, he saw Fu Yu carrying large and small bags into the room.
"Ugh, I'm exhausted, Grandpa, can you help me carry this?" Over the past few days, Fu Yu's way of addressing Li Xuanzu had become more intimate, after all, she wasn't exactly an introverted girl.
"Why did you buy so many?" Li Xuanzu took the various bags from her hands; they were quite heavy.
"I haven't been shopping in ages, so I bought whatever I liked. You won't be mad at me, will you?" Fu Yu said, giving Li Xuanzu's shoulder a slightly ingratiating squeeze.
"Buy it if you like it. If you can't take it all, tell me and I'll come with you." Li Xuanzu affectionately patted her head and helped her comb her slightly messy hair.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be such a nice person."
"Stop talking nonsense and go take a shower. You're all sweaty." Li Xuanzu pushed Fu Yu away with some disgust and glanced at the beads of sweat on her body.
Fu Yu also felt unwell and went to take a shower.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Fu Yu finally came out of the steaming toilet, wearing a very cute bear pajama set.
"I had so much fun today, I'm going to bed now." Fu Yu skipped and hopped towards the bedroom, but then froze at the door.
"How come... there's only one room?" Fu Yu turned her head to Li Xuanzu, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Then how about I sleep on the sofa?" Li Xuanzu already knew that Huang Lao had made this arrangement, and Ouyang Ningxue had been assigned to a single apartment.
"There aren't any extra blankets, so... how about we make do for the night?" Fu Yu asked tentatively.
"Whatever, go to sleep first, I'll sleep later." Li Xuanzu had just rested and was indeed not sleepy.
"Okay..." Fu Yu said with a complicated tone, and snuggled into the warm quilt.
The weather has gradually turned cooler, but it doesn't have much of an impact on Li Xuanzu; he just needs to speed up the flow of blood in his body.
Fu Yu curled up in bed, feeling the lingering scent of Li Xuanzu, and her heartbeat quickened involuntarily.
"Ugh, how could I say something like 'just making do for one night'? So what does Li Xuanzu really mean? Sneaking in at night? No, no, he shouldn't be that kind of person." Fu Yu kept imagining things, and the exhaustion of the day prevented her from falling asleep immediately.
Li Xuanzu, meanwhile, sat on the sofa in the living room, sorting out his thoughts.
