Most of those who were prevented from kneeling still knelt down, while only a small portion followed suit.
Ji Fengyao also took note of this small group of people.
"Since you have all recognized your shortcomings, then I will speak frankly from the outset today," Ji Fengyao said with an unprecedentedly serious expression, "In the Maple Moon Continent, I am both a hired thug and a recruiter of teammates."
When you came, you all swore an oath to Heaven; this is your pledge of allegiance.
Therefore, in any case, your compensation and benefits will never be less than what I promised you.
However, human nature is reciprocal; how you treat me is how I will treat you in return.
As for whether you're a henchman or a teammate, that depends on how you define your relationship with me.
I will make my own decisions, so if one day you find that I treat someone better, don't be too surprised, because that's the difference between a thug and a teammate.
"You are all cultivators, so I think you should be able to understand what I'm saying."
"Yes, Miss!"
Lu Yang, An Zijin, Hao Yan, and Zhuang Shaoze answered instantly with their hands behind their backs, and Bai Yusheng was not far behind.
"Yes, Miss!"
Others also rushed to express their opinions.
Only a few people and Bai Yusu seemed to sense something, their expressions were uneasy and their answers were very hesitant.
"You, you, you, you, you..." Ji Fengyao raised her hand and pointed at the group of people, including Bai Yusu, who had a more negative attitude. She said indifferently, "From now on, you don't need to stay by my side anymore. Go to other places and follow other small teams to carry out missions. Tomorrow I will have Zhuang Shaoze arrange your destinations separately."
The others were alright, since they hadn't had any particularly close contact with Ji Fengyao from the beginning.
Moreover, they were unaware that Ji Fengyao was an alchemist and the benefits of being around her.
So they didn't mind being assigned elsewhere.
But Bai Yusu was different; she was the first person to follow Ji Fengyao.
She knew that Ji Fengyao was an alchemist and had indeed enjoyed treatment that later generations had not received.
During this period of time, although she did not accompany Ji Fengyao on missions due to her low cultivation level, she was like a housekeeper in this Vulture Courtyard. Even Nascent Soul cultivators like Lu Yang and An Zijin treated her with great respect.
Sending her on a mission to another squad now would not only be risky, but would also severely damage her status.
With her current cultivation level, if those team members find out that she was kicked out by the young lady, she'll definitely have a hard time!
"Miss, Yu Su knows she was wrong. Yu Su will serve you diligently from now on, listen to my brother, do more and talk less. Please don't send Yu Su away, Miss." Bai Yu Su panicked and knelt down to try to pull Ji Feng Yao's skirt.
Ji Fengyao's aura surged, and a spiritual energy barrier was erected around her.
Bai Yusu reached out and bumped into the wall. Looking up, she saw that Ji Fengyao's face was completely devoid of a smile, and she panicked even more. She turned to Bai Yusheng for help: "Brother, please plead for me, please don't send me away, okay? I've never left Guyue City alone before. If I go on a mission with another team, I'll die!"
Bai Yusheng's lips twitched twice, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself. He looked at Ji Fengyao with some reluctance.
Ji Fengyao was also looking at him with a calm gaze.
