Chapter 2393

Thank you, Young Master, for bestowing the Dharma; from now on, Kui Xing wishes to serve you as your horse and carriage, and will not refuse.

Kui Xing spoke expressionlessly; merely hearing these words, Ye Zhangqing's expression turned strange—when had I ever bestowed the Dharma?

This Severing Love Dao, even Ye Zhangqing himself doesn't know it—how could he bestow it?

Young Master, Kui Xing has now entered the Severing Love Dao; in the future he will certainly be of use to you.

Ye Zhangqing felt strange inside, and Tao Qian beside him also chimed in.

Kui Xing had a sudden epiphany; although he had not yet successfully entered the door, it could be said he had set foot on the Severing Love Dao.

Tao Qian thought highly of him; this person will certainly be useful to the Young Master in the future, so Tao Qian strongly recommended Kui Xing.

But to take in Kui Xing, we naturally need to say hello to the Heavenly Family side; the previous matter is not yet over.

However, given Ye Zhangqing's relationship with the Heavenly Family, wanting to protect a person is not difficult.

Moreover, the Heavenly Family's face can be completely recovered from those two black-clothed men; there's no need to insist on putting Kui Xing to death.

Tao Qian spoke up to recommend; Kui Xing also voluntarily expressed his loyalty; Ye Zhangqing pondered briefly and then agreed.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing nod, Kui Xing couldn't help but feel delighted; seeing his pleased expression, Tao Qian beside him immediately spoke up to rebuke.

Kui Xing, though you feel joy, your Severing Love Dao Xiūliàn is still insufficient, far from enough; Severing Love, Severing Love—your heart must be devoid of any emotion, only loyalty to the Young Master.

Yes, thank you, Brother Tao, for your guidance.

Diligently cultivate Xiūliàn, quickly cut off all emotion in your heart, lest you disappoint the Young Master.

Yes, I will surely not let the Young Master down.

Huh???

Hearing their conversation, Ye Zhangqing was momentarily dazed—are you two serious?

The two who cultivate the Severing Love Dao obviously cannot be judged by common sense.

For a moment, Ye Zhangqing didn't know how to respond, so he waved his hand, signaling them to retreat.

As for Kui Xing's lodging, Tao Qian will naturally arrange it; no need for me to worry.

Moreover, both are those who have cultivated the Severing Love Dao; together they can discuss and see how to become even more severing of love.

The two bowed and retreated; Ye Zhangqing helplessly shook his head—again taking in a cultivator of the Severing Love Dao who is emotionless, thinking about it always feels a bit strange.

But since the person has already been taken in, there are some things that ought to be done; Ye Zhangqing naturally must do them.

That very day he personally sought out the head of the Heavenly Family and explained Kui Xing's situation.

Inside a hall of the Heavenly Family, upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's purpose, the head of the Heavenly Family nodded heartily.

Since Young Master Ye has spoken, if I refuse it would seem unperceptive; since Young Master Ye likes that person, I will take him in—the previous matter, my Heavenly Family will not pursue.

Thank you, senior.

A mere Kui Xing is nothing to the Heavenly Family; killing him is fine, letting him go is also fine.

It mainly depends on whether someone speaks up, and whether their weight is sufficient.

Coincidentally, Ye Zhangqing is fully sufficient in both aspects, so the Heavenly Family has no reason not to release him.

After thanking the head of the Heavenly Family, he then shifted the conversation to the recent situation in the Immortal Realm.

Recently the outside world has become increasingly chaotic.

In my humble opinion, although the outside world is temporarily chaotic, it cannot shake the foundation of the Immortal Realm.

This is not empty talk; the pattern of the Immortal Realm today has been formed bit by bit over hundreds of thousands of years.

Immortal sects and immortal clans reign supreme, controlling the Immortal Realm's discourse, and externally there is the Heavenly Palace.

Such a situation cannot be shaken by a mere gathering of loose cultivators.

Just like before, those immortal sects and clans that perished due to turmoil were basically insignificant.

Truly deep-rooted immortal sects and clans actually suffered no major loss because of this.

It's merely that some external industries were plundered; this loss, frankly, is far from enough to shake the foundations of the major powers.

Compared to actual losses, face is perhaps what they value more.

But the head of the Heavenly Family bringing this up himself shows it's not just idle talk.

So, upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, the head of the Heavenly Family nodded slightly, indicating agreement, yet still spoke.

Although that is so, if this situation continues to be chaotic, it is of no benefit to the Immortal Realm as a whole; therefore my Heavenly Family has decided to step forward, take the lead, join forces with the major powers, and together put an end to this farce as soon as possible.

Now it's not even a performance; previously they said it was turmoil, but now, coming straight from the head of the Heavenly Family's mouth, it's directly become a farce.

Those loose cultivators who risk their lives, hanging their heads on their waistbands, in the eyes of the Heavenly Family head, become a farce.

Also, those loose cultivators who gamble their lives trying to defy heaven and change fate, in the eyes of those great figures of the Heavenly Family, are no different from a farce.

Even if you risk your lives and crack your skulls, what could you possibly change in the end?

The treasures you looted, in the eyes of the major powers, are utterly ordinary, commonplace things.

From the outbreak of chaos until now, the only loss that truly pains the major powers is just this one.

It is the canteen being looted, losing tens of thousands of rations this time.

Besides this time, other losses have not been taken to heart by the major powers.

As for the consequence of this incident, everyone saw it; the major powers took less than a day to uncover the identity of Tianxing Lao Ren.

Afterward came relentless pursuit; they swore not to rest until their goal was met.

This is completely different from other incidents.

And under the seriousness of the major powers, the fate of these loose cultivators was actually already decided.

In preparation to thoroughly quell the chaos, this matter naturally does not require Ye Zhangqing to act; the head of the Heavenly Family merely, out of consideration, gave Ye Zhangqing a heads‑in advance, so he need do nothing.

But upon leaving the Heavenly Family head, Ye Zhangqing suddenly realized that, since the chaos is about to subside, he could certainly take the opportunity to open the canteen and expand once more.

Amid the chaos, the shopfronts in the various cities naturally need to be reshuffled.

The major powers do not fear this little wind and wave, but the shops in the various cities are quite another matter.

After all, these shops, even if they have background and backing, are not strong in themselves.

So in this turmoil, if we talk about who suffered the most, there's no doubt it's these shops.

They are also the primary target of many wandering cultivators.

The treasuries of the major powers, these wandering cultivators lack the ability to rob them; they can't even get close.

In comparison, the shops in the city are much simpler: rush in, loot them clean, no difficulty.

And the people of these shops also find it hard to stop these wandering cultivators; their success rate is absurdly high.

And now, the major powers are preparing to act, to quell the turmoil; Ye Zhangqing can also take advantage to open up the canteen, develop it further—this is absolutely a rare good opportunity.

Moreover, it requires hardly any effort.
