Not even the master would trust him anymore. What future would he have?
The subordinate, reminded by him, also looked fearful.
If he accidentally got involved in things he shouldn’t have, and ended up like those people before, he would be full of regret without anywhere to turn. He had witnessed those half-dead people, living worse than dogs.
If he became like that, he’d rather have a quick death.
"I’ve realized my mistake, and I will be cautious from now on."
...
Always pondering over the corpse incident, Yang Tianxiu couldn’t even cultivate, thinking deeply in his room. After deliberation, he finally made a decision.
"Someone, e here."
He called out, shouting toward the outside.
Hearing the voice inside, his loyal subordinate standing guard outside immediately opened the door and entered.
"Master, what are your orders?"
"Fetch Xiao Yi back."
Yang Tianxiu instructed his trusted man; if Xiao Yi wasn’t called back, things around him would fall into chaos.
It seemed those people were indeed causing trouble, capable of creating such disturbances. They were quite skilled in making sneaky moves.
Hearing the master’s order, his loyal subordinate paused in surprise.
Fetch Xiao Yi back?
Xiao Yi had only been sent away for a few days, and now he was to be recalled? Was the master unable to cope without Xiao Yi?
Honestly, he was somewhat dissatisfied with the master’s level of trust in Xiao Yi. Even as one of his trusted men, he didn’t hold the same place in the master’s heart as Xiao Yi did.
"Master, Chief Xiao was only just sent out; the matters there might not be resolved yet," he cautiously suggested.
"What matters could possibly be there?"
Yang Tianxiu snorted. Perhaps his sending Xiao Yi away was part of those shady individuals’ calculations?
If not, how e things started happening one after the other after he sent Xiao Yi away? Ha, what a plan—to remove his reliable person and then strike at once?
"Master, Chief Xiao has just ... isn’t this a bit too much like passing orders in the evening to change them by morning?"
If word got out, it wouldn’t be a good thing, right? People would be anxious, and the evil cultivators would surely think something major had occurred?
The sudden recall of someone just sent out does look like something big, doesn’t it?
Yang Tianxiu’s face darkened, casting a cold glance at his cautious subordinate. What was he trying to do? Since when did someone dare to contradict his words?
"How about you take over this position instead?" he asked coldly.
Upon hearing this, the trusted underling gasped.
What kind of joke was this? Did he dare to have such audacious thoughts? Was he tired of living?
"Master, I wouldn’t dare. I’ll immediately go and find Chief Xiao." Not daring to advise further, he quickly left. Only after reaching outside did he realize his back was soaked in cold sweat.
He shouldn’t have tried to advise. The master had truly intended to kill him just now. He merely offered a few words of caution, and already the newly deployed person was being recalled instantly, which indeed wasn’t good.
Oh well, why bother thinking so much? Just follow the master’s orders; it can’t go wrong.
With this in mind, he took a deep breath and walked out to find Chief Xiao, to bring him back, and hand over the chaotic matters outside to Chief Xiao.
This way, everyone could breathe a sigh of relief.
