He pointed a finger, and the Ruthless Dao's Xiūliàn method, carried by a golden light, entered the man's brow directly.

Normally, Tao Qian would not be able to forcefully transmit the Dharma like this, given the gap in their cultivation.

But at this moment, the man was severely injured and on the verge of death; he had no will to resist, and even if he wanted to, he lacked the strength, so Tao Qian easily accomplished it.

As the Ruthless Dao's Xiūliàn method surfaced in his mind, the man was completely dazed.

His eyes widened to perfect circles, staring unblinkingly at Tao Qian, his heart filled with astonishment as he thought.

This kid's Xiūliàn is the Ruthless Dao?

Ruthless Dao is actually a collective term, meaning a Xiūliàn method that severs emotions and desires.

Such methods are actually not uncommon in the Immortal Realm, but few people Xiūliàn them.

First, such cultivation methods generally have a high Xiūliàn difficulty; this has nothing to do with talent or aptitude, but is entirely an inherent trait of the method.

Second, who would willingly sever emotions and desires, renounce their kin, unless driven to desperation? Other cultivation methods can also reach the Great Dao; there's no need to be so extreme.

No wonder I've felt this kid was a bit strange all along; that's the reason.

However, after carefully examining Tao Qian's Ruthless Dao cultivation method, the man couldn't help but glance sideways.

This cultivation method is of very high grade, at least higher than any cultivation method he has encountered.

Furthermore, although this cultivation method is an unorthodox sword path, not only is its improvement speed fast, but its upper limit is also extremely high.

If one can truly sever all emotions and desires, then one can Xiūliàn to the realm of Huang Lao and the others.

As he watched, the man unconsciously became immersed.

I don't know whether it's because of his current state of heart as dead ashes, or because his family was exterminated and he suffered his wife's betrayal.

In any case, at this moment the man's Xiūliàn of Tao Qian's Ruthless Dao method is like a fish in water.

It seems as if this cultivation method was tailor-made for him.

Seeing the man enter meditation so quickly, Tao Qian nodded almost imperceptibly.

He indeed was not mistaken; this man truly suits his own Ruthless Dao method, and they are kindred spirits.

If this man could enter the door of this cultivation method, Tao Qian considers that perhaps he could plead with Young Master Ye to save him from the Heavenly Family.

By then, this man could also be of use to Young Master Ye.

Thinking this, Tao Qian did not rush to leave, but stepped aside to guard the man's Dharma.

Not long after, a cultivator whose food had been knocked over earlier came rushing with others.

"The person is here."

"Hmph, none of these three can be allowed to escape."

"That's right, such a grave crime—how could it be lightly forgiven? We absolutely cannot let them escape."

The two black-clad men have already been subdued; now only this man remains.

But when the group arrived, they immediately saw Tao Qian guarding not far from the man.

As for Tao Qian, they were naturally not strangers; he was once a notorious philanderer of the Tao clan, played around by others, yet unaware.

He was often the subject of after-dinner gossip.

But that was in the past; now Tao Qian, who dares to say a word against him, let alone mock him?

It's not because Tao Qian himself has anything; it's entirely because Tao Qian is now a person of the canteen.

Everyone fears the canteen, so they dare not offend him.

And upon sensing someone approaching, Tao Qian slowly opened his eyes, saw the arrivals, and spoke in an indifferent tone.

"This person is useful to Young Master Ye; you cannot harm him now."

Tao Qian wanted to protect this man; hearing this, although the few people frowned and were secretly displeased, they also did not dare to act forcibly.

Who is the Young Master that Tao Qian speaks of? Everyone knows it's none other than Ye Zhangqing.

But when did this man get involved with Ye Zhangqing?

The two probably don't know each other.

They couldn't figure it out, but with Tao Qian's protection, the group ultimately chose to retreat.

"Since this is someone Young Master Ye has taken a liking to, we naturally dare not act rashly; we'll leave."

They bowed to Tao Qian, then turned and left without looking back.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Family's enforcement team nearby, which had originally wanted to step forward to seize the person, also halted for a moment.

Everyone looked toward the head Steward; upon this, the Steward fell silent for a moment, then spoke.

"Since this is someone Young Master Ye has taken a liking to, for now we need not act; we await the family's order."

As this is Ye Zhangqing's person, the Steward naturally dare not act; he can only report the matter to the family first and see what they say.

If the family says to seize the person, then it's not too late for them to act.

Otherwise, if you rashly go up and thereby anger Ye Zhangqing, it would be a loss not worth the gain.

The members of the Heavenly Family Law Enforcement Team also just want to eat, ah.

Moreover, Ye Zhangqing is also the fifth Yāoniè of the present age, a close brother of the Heavenly Family's young master.

With all these reasons combined, how could they not give Ye Zhangqing face?

Upon hearing this Steward's words, the other members of the Heavenly Family Law Enforcement Team also nodded in agreement.

For a while, no one dared to move this man; instead, they gave him ample space, allowing him to practice Xiūliàn in peace.

Of course, such protection does not come without conditions.

First, this man must, upon entering meditation this time, gain entry to that Ruthless Dao Technique.

In Tao Qian's view, if one cannot even gain entry to the technique, then they hold no value whatsoever for the young master.

A waste who cannot even enter the technique has no qualification to see the young master, and naturally there is no need to protect him.

By then, there would be no need to disturb the young master; Tao Qian himself would have someone deal with it.

Only if he successfully gains entry to the technique will Tao Qian bring him to see the young master, to see whether the young master needs this person, and give him an opportunity.

Of course, if Ye Zhangqing takes no liking to him, then this man's fate will remain unchanged.

After all, given the present circumstances, unless Ye Zhangqing steps forward to protect him, this man is doomed—no one can save him.

Just like the black-clothed man and the two of them alike.
