With a flurry of actions and a hint of intimidation, Sang Qingxiao drove the five individuals away. Jin Shitong left with them, but before departing, Sang Qingxiao gifted him the Demon Artifact made by the Jin Family for Zhen Si.
Watching their retreating figures, Li Cu felt puzzled. Were they really just let go? You mentioned before that they were nothing special. Qi Hao had summoned them with ulterior motives; he had planned for me to win. If I couldn't withstand their provocations and ended up killing them, it would only create enmity with the five families.
More importantly, no matter how insignificant they seemed, they were still part of the Demon Catching Sect, while I remained an outsider. If I acted too harshly, I would surely face unanimous rejection from the Demon Catching Realm.
Let them carry a message for now; it's better to show courtesy before resorting to violence. If anyone dares to provoke again, I wouldn't mind being a bit harsher.
But why send a gift along with letting them go? I can't afford to make enemies of all the Demon Catching Families; I still need to win over a few that are worth allying with. Sang Qingxiao explained that while the Jin Family may not be the strongest, they possess uniqueness as the only family capable of creating Demon Artifacts, which might prove useful in the future.
Demon Catchers are already few in number, and those who can craft and capture Demon Artifacts are even rarer. The Jin Family has no significant flaws in character, so I extend goodwill first and see if they recognize the situation.
Moreover, that Demon Artifact is already useless; I have no interest in repairing it. Keeping it serves little value for me, but for the Jin Family, it represents a continuation of their heritage and techniques—it's precious to them.
Exchanging something useless for their attitude is worth it! If they don't appreciate this gesture, I won't suffer any loss.
Li Cu nodded and then asked about Zhen Si. Did you really obtain Zhen Si's legacy?
It's not exactly a legacy; it's just a bluff, Sang Qingxiao replied vaguely. Old Vine collected some of Zhen Si's Cultivation Methods—it's not complete. If you want to learn, just like Misha did, ask Old Vine for it. Once you have the basics down, I'll teach you the rest.
With matters settled on Sang Qingxiao's end, Qi Xiaomian approached, supporting the weak Huo Qi. Huo Qi looked as if he could collapse onto Qi Xiaomian at any moment; he was clearly putting on an act. As they walked, he winked at Sang Qingxiao playfully.
Sang Qingxiao smiled at Qi Xiaomian, noticing his knowing expression filled with helplessness and exasperation. Just as she was about to tease him further, Zhang Jingxue came closer.
In a hushed tone, she asked, "Miss Sang, is he really okay like this?"
Sang Qingxiao understood who she was referring to. "You just need to know that his presence won't compete with you for any benefits nor will he harm you in any way. As for everything else, just play dumb; it's rare to be blissfully ignorant."
However, Zhang Jingxue felt that this person before her was even more intimidating than the previous Qi Hao. Through her trembling body, Sang Qingxiao sensed her unspoken fears: "Isn't he powerful? With him protecting you, no one will dare bully you."
"If you are afraid, then treat him as someone you can use. Of course, this kind of use is mutual; leveraging benefits is always simpler than exchanging feelings."
Zhang Jingxue murmured to herself, "Using him?"
Sang Qingxiao noticed her dazed expression and, not wanting to dwell on such matters any longer, shifted her attention. "Look at your eldest son; it seems he has been hurt."
