Chapter 500 - Realization

At that moment, Ye Jiushang happened to return and heard everything clearly. He did not understand what his little consort was doing. “Xin’er, why do you want so many spirit herbs? The number of spirit herbs within a hundred kilometers of Heavenly Saints City is not small. I’m afraid it will take half a lord’s estate to accommodate them.”

“To destroy the Blue Sea Villa.”

With just that one sentence, he understood everything. “You plan to use pills to destroy the Blue Sea Villa. This is a huge project. Just refining pills can tire you to death. Why must you do this? If you want to take down the Blue Sea Villa, I’ll destroy it for you.”

“No, no, no. The effects of that will be greatly reduced. It’s very easy to end up with the crime of bullying the weak and killing the innocent. Those so-called righteous people will come to suppress us. If there are fewer people, we can still deal with them. But if there are more, no matter how strong we are, it’s difficult to defeat four people with two fists, not to mention there are schemes and whatnot. It’s easy to dodge a spear in the open, but it’s hard to defend against a hidden arrow. Small fry can also do great things, so we can’t rely on our fists to resolve the problem. We have to use the most effective and correct method. Only when there’s really no other way can we consider using force.”

She did not want to become a villain condemned by the entire Tongxuan Realm, nor did she want a bad reputation.

Ye Jiushang came to a realization.

Before this, no matter what happened, the first thing he thought of was to resolve it with force. Then, he would consider using schemes. In his opinion, anything that could be resolved with force was not a problem. The method was simple and effective.

But now, he finally understood the true meaning of the most effective and correct method.

Martial strength could indeed resolve the problem, but it would leave hidden dangers. As for what kind of hidden danger, even he could not make a guess.

“Xin’er, thank you.”

“Why are you thanking me?” Xue Fanxin asked in confusion.

“Thank you for letting me know that small fry can also do great things.”

“What do you mean?”

Ye Jiushang did not explain himself. He rubbed her head and said gently, “Since you already have a way to deal with the Blue Sea Villa, I won’t interfere in this matter. I’ll let you handle it yourself.”

“No problem. Leave the Blue Sea Villa to me. How’s your matter going?”

“In progress.”

A day had already passed, but the Heavenly Saints Emperor had yet to summon the Ghost King. He had been hiding in his chamber and did not even go to the morning court assembly. It seemed like he had not made a decision.

Nevertheless, in one more day, he would resolve the matter with the Ghost King. Then, he would help Xin’er settle other things so that they could leave.

However, he did not know that the Heavenly Saints Emperor had long made a decision. He was only waiting for news now. He locked himself in his bedroom and did not see anyone, not even going to the morning court assembly.

That person had said that he could help him destroy the entire Ninth Lord’s Estate in five days, but Ye Jiushang had only given him two days…

He hoped that person could get it done before sunset tomorrow. In that case, everyone would be happy.
