298: Unwilling to be inferior to others! Yang Yucheng holds the handle

“Send her back to the Steward Hall. Let her 'good' elder handle this trouble herself. Our Dragon Lair Treasure Land is not a place for collecting trash. Handle your own affairs!”

Yang Yucheng walked forward again, not even going to that pavilion, but instead found himself a secluded courtyard.

Watching Yang Yucheng's retreating figure, He Zimu soon arrived in front of Bai Shengjie and quickly relayed Yang Yucheng's words.

Gradually, his previously softened expression became increasingly cold.

“I've repaid the favor I owed you! Now, will you leave on your own, or shall I send you away? This dignity was not easily obtained.”

He Zimu saw that Miss Bai was hesitating and conflicted, so he continued to persuade her.

“It's clear that Young Master is in a good mood today, which is why he showed such great mercy and let you off. Otherwise, you would be dead by now!”

“Of course!” He Zimu added.

“This also includes the identity of your Purple-Robed Steward elder from the Steward Hall. Currently, Young Master and the Steward Hall are cooperating closely, and it's absolutely impossible for that to be ruined because of you, not even a little bit.”

He Zimu's words grew colder, unfeeling, and beyond doubt.

Bai Shengjie let out a bitter laugh!

Her exquisite face, along with her body that hadn't eaten for over half a month and had been circulating Cultivation Technique to absorb spiritual Qi, was so weak that she could barely stand.

Her body went soft, and her upper body, along with her lower body and already swollen knees from kneeling, collapsed onto the nearby ground.

She looked utterly pathetic!

And all He Zimu did was stand still, looking down at Bai Shengjie from above.

Seeing that Bai Shengjie remained silent, He Zimu, with a heart of stone and an expressionless face, spoke again:

“Someone, send Miss Bai back to the Steward Hall.”

Since the other party wouldn't yield an inch, He Zimu could only act according to Yang Yucheng's instructions!

He had already repaid the favor. Otherwise, following Yang Yucheng, he wouldn't want to cause trouble for himself. How could he possibly displease Yang Yucheng for a girl he didn't even know?

Seeing He Zimu prepare to leave, Bai Shengjie finally couldn't help but speak, saying:

“Are you really not going to give me even one chance? Why? Why on earth?”

“Do you think opportunities are plentiful?”

If Bai Shengjie hadn't spoken, He Zimu would have left, and that would have been the end of it.

But since she said that, He Zimu's cold, mocking voice, laced with unwillingness and resentment, descended directly from the heavens, like the final catastrophe, engulfing all vitality!

“Such is the world! Such is fate! You must always strive, constantly fighting forward!

In a lifetime, perhaps only two or three opportunities will mercifully descend before you from the heavens.

Among these sole two or three opportunities, some are big and some are small. You seized this biggest opportunity, but you cleverly chose to give it up again!

Who is to blame? Who is to blame? You can only blame yourself, it is you!”

He Zimu roared loudly.

He quickly went to Bai Shengjie's side, looking at her pitiful, seemingly humbled-to-the-dust appearance. He Zimu constantly warned himself in his heart!

No matter when or where, he must never do such a self-righteous and utterly foolish thing.

Otherwise, Bai Shengjie's fate would be his future!

And he absolutely refused!

After the Inner Sect Disciple helped Bai Shengjie up and prepared to take flight to send her back to the Steward Hall, He Zimu delivered another heavy blow!

“And also!”

“Inform Steward Jiang Tianran of everything Miss Bai said just now, so he knows how utterly foolish and asinine his Junior family member is!

After this, don't let such a person come to our Dragon Lair Treasure Land and offend Young Master's eyes!”

“Yes, Senior Brother!”

The Inner Sect Disciples all nodded in agreement, and in an instant, Bai Shengjie was gone!

She had originally thought that by feigning pity, she could beg Yang Yucheng for forgiveness in many scenarios, but Yang Yucheng couldn't even be bothered to glance at her!

In this world, there are always people who think that if they make amends, everything can return to how it was.

But have they not heard the saying that a broken mirror cannot be mended, and spilled water cannot be recovered?

After resolving the matter, He Zimu returned to Yang Yucheng and reported everything that had just happened.

“You handled this matter well!”

Yang Yucheng praised him again.

“This is thanks to Young Master's blessing. Otherwise, Disciple would never dare to openly contradict a Steward of the Steward Hall!”

As He Zimu said this, Yang Yucheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately understood the implied meaning of his words.

Disciple? Not Subordinate!

“You, young man, handled one matter in the Steward Hall, and now you're so eager for the benefits of that one matter?”

Yang Yucheng smiled!

He Zimu immediately prostrated himself on the ground, trembling.

“I wouldn't dare! Subordinate absolutely wouldn't dare! It's just that Subordinate believes that only by entering the Steward Hall can I better assist Young Master. The Steward Hall, after all, still needs our own people!”

Seeing that Yang Yucheng still hadn't spoken, He Zimu continued to explain himself:

“Miss Bai is already a lesson. How could Subordinate dare to play such tricks? At most, I'm just showing off a little cleverness in front of Young Master!

Although Young Master's previous friends are also working in the Steward Hall and have now joined our Tianhun Chamber of Commerce, they are ultimately not our own people. Please, Young Master, see clearly!”

After saying all that, He Zimu knocked his head on the ground. Although there was no thudding sound, his sincerity at that moment was evident.

Yang Yucheng's previous remarks were merely a warning or two.

He didn't want to see his only usable Subordinate become too arrogant.

“You may withdraw!”

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Yucheng's voice finally appeared. He Zimu, relieved, slowly left.

“Why are you so fierce?”

Red Maiden's voice came from beside Yang Yucheng, her floating, ethereal figure gently circling back and forth!

Puffing out her cheeks, she looked at Yang Yucheng with a puzzled expression:

“He is so loyal to you. Although he has a little ambition, that's normal.”

Red Maiden even had some complaints about Yang Yucheng. Yang Yucheng explained, “What you see is cleverness, but what I see is...”

Yang Yucheng's face showed a hint of a cold smile:

“This person has a wolf's ambition. He is not content to be beneath others and constantly tests people's bottom lines.

Within his capabilities, he obtains the largest portion he can have.

To use such a person effectively, one must constantly temper him, dulling the sharpness of his blade slightly.

Only then can I, as the Master, use him well!”
