CHAPTER 129: Departure!
Huang Xialiu ultimately took his people and bid farewell at the Amethyst Rejuvenation Hall.
Chu Yang watched Huang Xialiu leave, unable to express his feelings. This frivolous, flashy, and ridiculous young master was finally gone.
But the words he spoke before leaving touched Chu Yang deeply.
"Thank you, boss. From today onward, I am whole." Huang Xialiu knelt down, respectfully bowing his head several times to Chu Yang.
"This bow is not for myself, but for the future generations of the Huang Family."
"I know you don’t like me, and I look down on my former self."
"Because I saw no hope. When a man cannot even do the bare minimum expected of him, hope ceases to be hope."
"Everyone looks down on me, including my mother and father. They pampered and cared for me, yet they look down on me. I am just a tool for continuing the family line; no hope is placed on me."
"But you see me as a person, boss! Although you have tormented me, you treat me as a human, not as a tool. During my time here, I have drunk bitter and foul things, but my heart is joyful. Because here with you, I am not a tool. I am a patient. And though I am a patient, I am still a person."
"Unfortunately, I wish to recover quickly. Otherwise, I really would like to stay here."
"Now I must return. My body is weak, my aptitude is lacking, so I will still not be a person when I go back. But I will do my utmost to be a good tool for continuing the family line. Although it will be uncomfortable, I know what I can do."
"Take care, boss. For as long as Huang Xialiu lives, it will be a day of gratitude!"
Huang Xialiu left.
The Amethyst Rejuvenation Hall suddenly fell silent.
When Huang Xialiu left, Chu Yang only said one sentence: "Actually... it doesn’t matter how others see you. The important thing is that you see yourself as a person."
At that moment, Huang Xialiu's eyes lit up.
After Huang Xialiu departed, Chu Yang smiled lightly and thought for a long time. Finally, he said, "Huang Xialiu is actually quite adorable." He then ruffled Chu Le'er's hair and said, "What everyone really needs... is just respect. But we... are destined not to be able to give respect to everyone."
Chu Le'er looked at him in confusion: "Big brother, what are you talking about?"
Chu Yang laughed heartily: "Not understanding is really good."
He laughed as he walked into the Amethyst Rejuvenation Hall, while Chu Le'er looked at his back in bewilderment, unable to comprehend his meaning.
"The Purple Cloud Pill is ready!" the Sword Spirit informed him telepathically.
Chu Yang was overjoyed: "How many are there?"
The Sword Spirit proudly replied: "Sixty."
"That's ten more than I estimated!" Chu Yang chuckled, suddenly feeling his whole body relax. With sixty Purple Cloud Pills, he could take twenty for himself and leave forty for the family; it would be enough for the family to cultivate twenty super experts! These twenty experts would be the safety guarantee for the Chu Family!
Going out, he wouldn't have to worry excessively.
At midnight, Chu Yang quietly entered Chu Xiaoxin's small courtyard, personally handing over the forty Purple Cloud Pills to her.
"These are the Purple Cloud Pills. Each one can elevate a lord-level expert's power by five hundred years!" Chu Yang's first sentence startled Chu Xiaoxin, making her instantly stand up!
"What?" Chu Xiaoxin looked at the Amethyst Jade Bottle in her hand, her eyes wide with astonishment.
After so many years, it was the first time Chu Xiaoxin had been so surprised!
The legendary Purple Cloud Pill, the ultimate secret for cultivating experts by the enforcers, Chu Xiaoxin certainly knew the abilities of the Purple Cloud Pill, but she never expected that Chu Yang would suddenly acquire forty of them!
"I have calculated carefully. The Chu Family currently has sixteen lord-level experts and two saint-level experts," Chu Yang said. "Therefore, each person will be equipped with two pills, meaning that each one can enhance their cultivation by a thousand years!"
Chu Xiaoxin was dumbfounded.
