Chapter 639

Although Li Yi got eighty thousand gold, he was not happy. He knew that he had started to have enemies in North Waste City, which was not good news, because it meant that he might not be able to continue living and cultivating here as quietly as before.

However, even if he killed this merchant and got rid of this God-Blood Warrior, there would still be other troubles.

So he simply took the money and talked about it later. Even if he left North Waste City in the future and went to other places in this world, he would be able to survive well.

"Letting the guest be disturbed is the fault of us servants. Please don't implicate my master. I am willing to use my own life to calm the anger in the guest's heart." After this matter temporarily subsided, the old servant from before suddenly knelt down toward Li Yi.

Before Li Yi could say anything more, the old servant picked up a short knife he was carrying and then pierced his heart without hesitation.

His life, which was originally like a candle in the wind, was extinguished rapidly at this moment.

In the blink of an eye, he had no breath.

Li Yi was stunned. He didn't blame this old servant at all. After all, this old servant had been responsible for taking care of him during this period, sending him fine wine and good meat. He didn't expect that this old servant would use suicide to make him not blame Xiu Xiang.

"Haha, it's really funny."

Suddenly, a retainer laughed: "How can the life of an old servant calm the dissatisfaction in the guest's heart? And as a retainer, I couldn't stand up when the master's house was in difficulty, and I couldn't fight the God-Blood Warrior for the master to protect the guest's safety. This is my dereliction of duty. Let me return my life to the master."

That retainer also looked like a warrior, and his strength was not weak, but compared to a God-Blood Warrior, he was still much worse.

At this moment, seeing that the danger had ended, he felt ashamed, picked up the weapon in his hand, waved it at his neck, and actually cut off his own head in public.

Hot blood splashed out, the large head rolled on the ground, and a headless corpse fell powerlessly to the ground at this moment.

Seeing this, Li Yi was silent again.

He didn't even know whether he should stop their stupid suicidal behavior or not.

It seems that the world itself should be like this, and he should follow the rules of this world.

"The retainers couldn't do their best, and as a guard, I couldn't protect the safety of the house. Let me use my own life to make up for my incompetence." A guard suddenly said at this moment.

He also cut off his head with the weapon in his hand without hesitation and offered his life.

And the death of this guard was not an end, because there were other retainers and guards who were ashamed and angry, intending to take this opportunity to end their lives.

Seeing this, Li Yi couldn't help but say: "Enough people have died today. Don't commit suicide anymore. If you really want to be loyal to the master, you should first repair the house and then plead guilty to the merchant Xiu Xiang. If you keep dying, then many things will have no one to do. When the merchant returns, he won't even know what happened here."

"Therefore, you should preserve your lives first. This is not a manifestation of cowardice, but a proof of courage, because those of you who survive will have to endure greater pain, while those who die don't need to."

Once these words were spoken.

Those guards and retainers who were ashamed and angry calmed down a little, and the phenomenon of suicide was barely stopped.

"Distinguished guest, now that the master's servants are dead, please direct us to do something for the master to make up for our mistakes." A retainer walked over and said, his face flushed red, with an urgent plea.

"Please direct us, distinguished guest." Others also walked over one after another and said to Li Yi.

Because here, Li Yi's status is the most noble. He is not Xiu Xiang's retainer, nor a guard, and even less a servant; he is a guest.

Only when he speaks can everyone follow; others are not qualified to direct others.

Seeing this scene, Li Yi didn't shirk either. He immediately said: "You first gather everyone in the house together. If they are dead, then put the bodies together. Don't let anyone get lost. Also, someone must guard and patrol near the house. Although this place is already a ruin, there are still quite a few treasures left in the merchant's house. You need to guard them for the merchant and cannot let outsiders take them away."

"Understood." These guards and retainers immediately responded.

They promised Li Yi that they would definitely do these things well.

Soon.

There were retainers gathering people scattered nearby, including slaves, concubines, and slaves who were hiding, while the guards kept patrolling around the house, warning those who were watching the fun at night not to approach.

This is the home of the merchant Xiu Xiang. Even if it has become a ruin, it has the right to forbid others from breaking in, unless they want to plunder, then the guards will also make a move without hesitation.

Perhaps it was because Li Yi was still there.

A powerful God-Blood Warrior was present, which made many people nearby not dare to step into this territory, putting away some thoughts of looting.

And the bodies of the dead servants and retainers were all carried over and placed together. Besides that, quite a few servants and concubines were injured. They were all affected by the battle. Although they didn't die, they also lost the ability to move.

The retainers also placed the injured people together.

In less than a moment, order was restored.

Afterward, the remaining people searched for the household's treasures in the ruins.

Someone found a box of gold, someone found quite a few bamboo slips, and someone found the exotic treasures stored by Xiu Xiang.

These treasures were all placed beside Li Yi, because here, only Li Yi had the strength to protect these treasures, and only Li Yi could stay with Xiu Xiang's treasures; others did not have this qualification.

After being busy for a few hours, these trivial matters were considered finished.

"That's about it." Li Yi looked at the house that had become a ruin. At this moment, he decided to make a move to restore everything here.

"Turn the river."

He circulated his magic power and raised his hand to turn it over.

The ground shook, the earth churned, and in just a few seconds, the ruins before him were all buried underground. All the buildings disappeared, replaced by a flat ground.

Such a scene made the other retainers, guards, and servants feel a bit bewildered. They didn't quite understand what this Lord Dayi was doing.

But it looked like it should be a good thing.

The distinguished guest is leveling the land and clearing the ruins, is it to facilitate the subsequent reconstruction of the house?

Li Yi was not bored to clear the ruins. He circulated his magic power again and pointed his finger, performing the Dao technique, House Building Technique.

Back when he was in the Dharma-Ending cultivation world, he had specifically practiced this magic. As long as the magic power was controlled exquisitely, he could build a city in just a short moment. Although they were all made of stone, under the blessing of magic power, they were also very sturdy and durable, at least they could stand for a hundred years without damage.

Building a house now was even more effortless.

Soon.

The ground wriggled, and buildings made of stone rose from the ground.

In less than ten seconds, Xiu Xiang's damaged house was restored to its original state, but this time all the decorations were gone, and all the materials had become stone, which didn't look very beautiful.

"Is this divine art?"

Retainers, guards, and servants saw this scene and widened their eyes, appearing very shocked.

They had powerful strength and could destroy a house, but they had no way to build a house in such a short time. Li Yi's means exceeded their cognition, making them subconsciously associate it with the legendary divine art.

Divine art, as the name suggests, is a means that only gods can master.

It is said that some direct descendants of God-Blood Warriors also possess divine art, but these are not things that warriors of their bottom level can know.

It was just because the merchant Xiu Xiang was knowledgeable and often chatted with Sage Nanshan Bo before, and among them, there was mention of divine art.

"That's all I can do. All the arrangements are the same as before. Everyone, please move in as before." Li Yi said slowly at this moment.

Others looked at Li Yi with more and more awe.

It should be said that he is worthy of being the distinguished guest that the master waited a year for. With such strength and means, he is indeed worthy of the master's waiting.

"Understood."

After a long while, everyone hurriedly promised Li Yi.

They immediately fulfilled their previous duties. Those who should manage the house managed it, those who should guard the gate continued to guard it, and at the same time, there were retainers who directly took away one hundred gold from the money left by Xiu Xiang, saying that they were going to buy meat to entertain Lord Dayi.

At the same time, several concubines who were not injured came to Lord Dayi's side, expressing their willingness to serve.

Everyone did their best to take good care of this distinguished guest.
