Du Youqian was a little disappointed. He much preferred Elder He Gui's defiant attitude from before.
'I really wish Elder He could go back to how he was.'
However...
Since Elder He Gui had extended an olive branch and was willing to talk things over, Du Youqian was happy to accept.
As the old saying went, the Jianghu wasn't about fighting and killing—it was about navigating the world of men.
'Even though I really do have the power to annihilate the Binyin Sect...'
'After all, I still have a Tier Four Treasure capable of blocking a fatal blow that I haven't even revealed yet.'
'Killing He Gui, marching on the Binyin Sect, and slaughtering every last one of them... for me, that isn't just a fantasy. It's something I can actually do.'
'But the only consequence would be drawing out the Binyin Sect's backer.'
'There's no need. Really, no need at all.'
'Best to quit while I'm ahead.'
'This was a sufficient tribute for the three Kun Cultivators who died as Blood Food.'
