As soon as the cold words came out, no one dared to speak.

There was a moment of silence in the meeting hall.

Lou Jingyu sat in the main seat, his eyes slightly narrowed, and glanced at the person sent by the Ji family to deliver the message without even a spare glance.

Tan Qing was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. According to what the leader said, he really had to sever all ties with the Ji family.

If that's the case, then what about his and the Ji family's plan!

It was all Ji Wan and Ji Feng's fault. How on earth did Lou Jingyu see through it? Stupid!

Do I have to be inferior to others all my life?

Back then, I had to obey the old leader's orders conscientiously, and now I have to obey his son's orders!

He was unwilling to accept this. They were all from the Ji family. The old leader was an unpopular bastard in the Ji family. What was the difference between him and a servant like him except that he had Ji family blood.

Just as lowly and humble.

How come he can defy fate and become so famous in the martial arts world, while I have always been following behind him!

He is not satisfied.

Therefore, he mediated the cooperation with the Ji family over the years. Although he knew clearly about the Ji family's ambitions towards the Chiyang Sect, he not only did not remind them but instead joined the Ji family's plan.

Now Lou Jingyu realized that according to his personality, he would do things without leaving any room for others, which would inevitably make him irreconcilable with the Ji family. Then he...

If he thought he could get away with it when he took the Ji family up the mountain, now he felt a chill all over his body after seeing Lou Jingyu's attitude with his own eyes.

His eyes accidentally met Lou Jingyu's, and he felt even more guilty.

Lou Jingyu took in his frightened expression and felt that he was stupid in his previous life. He had been in a high position for so long that he couldn't even see the disloyalty of his subordinates.

"What does this mean, Master? Why are you so heartless..." The Ji family members smiled flatteringly and pretended to be confused.

Lou Jingyu looked at him with a cold tone. He didn't want to show them any mercy, nor did he want to waste any more words.

"I have explained it clearly to your boss. I know exactly what you are thinking. Since you dare to have such thoughts, why bother to hide them? I will accompany you well."

"Jiang Yan, throw all these people out. From now on, no member of the Ji family is allowed to set foot in the Chiyang Sect!"

"I obey your command!" Jiang Yan skillfully led Ying Yi and Ying Er to tie up the people from Ji's family and take them out.

The hall suddenly became much emptier.

"Master, what about this box of gold, silver and jewelry?" Uncle Jiang asked, waiting for Lou Jingyu to make a decision.

"Since they have given it to me, I will naturally accept it. They were all taken from my Chiyang Sect anyway."

Although money is something outside of one's body, there is no need to be hard on it. Just as Lou Jingyu said, the money was originally taken from the Chiyang Sect, and there is nothing wrong with returning it to its original owner.

"Uncle Jiang, you don't have to put these things in the warehouse. Use them directly to repair the Shadow Guards' residences. The side halls of the Dark Pavilion are too simple. If they are not enough, you can take money from the warehouse and improve the residences of the Shadow Guards in the back mountain as well."

Uncle Jiang replied yes, but he was surprised.

When will the leader pay attention to where his servants live?

However, the place where the shadow guard lives is indeed simple and small.

Although the shadow guards have a considerable monthly salary and are fairly well-off, this group of people don't really care about the quality of life and are content with having decent food, clothing, housing and transportation.

They are often on missions and are not often in the church, so no one has ever mentioned it.

Now that the leader thought it was a good thing to improve their living conditions, Uncle Jiang naturally agreed.

"Thank you, Master!"

Ying Shiyi walked from behind Lou Jingyu and saluted him, with the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, showing his happiness.

Although the shadow guard doesn't care about these things, it's always a good thing to live better. Who doesn't want to lie on a spacious bed when they are injured or sick? Now the side hall of the secret room can't even accommodate a larger bed, it's a bit cramped.

"Thank you, master!" Shadow Three and Shadow Four also bowed and expressed their gratitude.

Jiang Yan thanked him again after he came back after finishing his work.

Lou Jingyu waved his hand, pulled Ying Shiyi in front of him, and pinched his fingertips lovingly.

"Are you so happy?"

Ying Shiyi nodded honestly, "I am happy for the Shadow Guards and for my master. They will definitely remember my master's kindness and will continue to complete the tasks my master has ordered in the future!"

Lou Jingyu was amused by him. This kid always thought of himself in everything.

Tan Qing, who was standing by, was puzzled by how intimate Lou Jingyu was towards Ying Shiyi.

He had only been away for a month, but the leader was so fond of a shadow guard and even broke with the Ji family.

Could it be that the variable lies in this little shadow guard?

Thinking of this, he looked at Ying Shiyi with disdain mixed with anger.

Who would have thought that such a cold and hard blade in the secret chamber would seduce the master!

And Lou Jingyu was totally indifferent. The men and women offered by the Ji family just now were all top-notch, but he didn't want them. Instead, he was very gentle to such a tough man.

In his opinion, the reason why Lou Jingyu fell in love with this little shadow guard was because he was inexperienced and didn't know the bliss of such things, so he treated this Shadow Eleven as a treasure.

He is indeed young.

He saw that although Lou Jingyu had driven away the Ji family, he did not say anything harsh to him, perhaps because he considered him to be his elder.

In this way, you will feel fearless.

He thought that he could just stay in the Chiyang Sect for a while, and then go to the Ji family to make new plans after Lou Jingyu relaxed.

"Tan Qing, take your eyes off me!"

Lou Jingyu stood up and put Ying Shiyi behind him, blocking Tan Qing's sight.

Tan Qing frowned his sparse eyebrows, wrinkled his mean face, and pointed at Ying Shiyi.

"Master, I have watched you grow up since you were a child, how come you are still inferior to a lowly shadow guard?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the shadow guards present changed subtly.

The Dark Chamber Shadow Guards obey Yu Lou Jingyu's orders directly, and sometimes they don't even need Jiang Yan to pass on the messages. Naturally, they are nothing in front of their master, but now that others say so, it's not a big deal.

Jiang Yan simply rolled his eyes.

Lou Jingyu's eyes were deep, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. He just looked at Tan Qing quietly, and couldn't say anything else.

However, Tan Qing thought that Lou Jingyu also agreed, so he spoke even more excitedly.

"This shadow guard is very unruly. He doesn't even greet me when he sees me. And the clothes he wears are not suitable for a secret guard to wear. Is the master spoiling him so much that he is almost unruly? He should be disciplined."

Ying Shiyi looked down at his clothes.

The black robe embroidered with golden lotus pattern was a little too big for him. This was the clothes Lou Jingyu often wore. The golden lotus was also Lou Jingyu's unique pattern in the Chiyang Sect.

His own secret guard uniforms had long been put into the closet by his master and he was not allowed to wear them anymore, but the tailor had just come to measure his size a few days ago, and the new clothes could not be made so quickly.

The master let him wear his clothes, and this happened every day.

As for the ceremony...

His master didn't allow him to kneel casually anymore. Although he would still half-kneel to salute when he saw his master, he was often hugged before he could kneel down. He hadn't kneeled down once in such a long time.

He is not an ungrateful person. Since his master has made it clear again and again, he will just kneel down to his master, but he will never kneel down to anyone else, as that would be a waste of his master's kindness.

Now when he sees Jiang Yan, he always greets him with a bow and no longer kneels on one knee.

What's more, Tan Qing is a person who has two minds towards his master.

Tan Qing continued, "He's just a shadow guard. Being a pet is an honor for him. The leader should not be blinded by him. This kind of person——"

Everyone saw that before he could finish his words, his whole body flew far away, fell heavily to the ground with a bang, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Lou Jingyu took action.
