Although Li Yi acquired eighty thousand gold, he was not happy. He knew he was starting to have enemies in Beihuai City, and this was not good news, as it meant he might no longer be able to live and cultivate here quietly as before. However, even if he killed the Merchant Master and eliminated the Divine Blood Warrior, there would still be other troubles. So he decided to take the money, thinking that even if he had to leave Beihuai City, he could survive well elsewhere in the world. "It is our servants’ fault for disturbing the guest. Please don’t blame my master. I am willing to use my life to calm the guest’s anger." After the matter temporarily calmed down, the old servant suddenly knelt before Li Yi. Before Li Yi could say anything, the old servant picked up a short dagger he carried with him and, without hesitation, stabbed it into his own heart. His life, already like a flickering candle, quickly extinguished. In an instant, he was lifeless. Li Yi was stunned; he never blamed this old servant. After all, the old servant had been taking care of him, bringing him good wine and meat throughout this period. He never thought the old servant would use suicide to prevent Li Yi from blaming Xiu Xiang. Suddenly, a guest laughed: "How can an old servant’s life appease the guest’s dissatisfaction? As a guest myself, not standing up during the master family’s difficult time, unable to combat the Divine Blood Warrior and protect the guest’s safety, is my failure. Let me give my life back to the master." The guest, who also appeared to be a warrior of considerable power, though weaker compared to the Divine Blood Warrior. Seeing the danger had passed, he felt ashamed and wielded his weapon against his neck, chopping off his own head in the presence of everyone. Hot blood splattered out as the head rolled on the ground, and the headless body collapsed powerlessly. Li Yi fell silent once again. He didn’t even know whether he should stop this foolish act of suicide, or if he should refrain. It seemed the world itself was meant to be this way, and he should follow its rules. "As a guard, failing to protect the house, let me use my life to make up for my incompetence." Suddenly, a guard said. Without hesitation, he too wielded his weapon and chopped off his own head, offering his life. But this guard’s death was not the end, as other guests and guards displayed shameful anger and intended to end their own lives. Seeing this, Li Yi couldn’t help but speak: "Enough people have died today, don’t kill yourselves. If you truly want to be loyal to your master, first repair the house and then apologize to the Merchant Lord Xiu Xiang. If many more die, then many matters will remain undone, and the Merchant Master won’t even know what happened here when he returns." "Thus, you should preserve your life, which is not an act of cowardice but a proof of courage, for surviving means you will bear greater pain, while dying means you won’t need to." The shameful guards and guests calmed down a bit, and the surge of suicides was barely stopped. "Guest, since the master’s servants are dead, please direct us to do something to amend our mistakes." A guest walked over and said, his face flushed with urgent pleading. "Please direct us, honored guest." Others also came over, speaking to Li Yi. Because here, Li Yi held the most respectable status. He was neither a guest of Xiu Xiang, nor a guard, nor a servant, he was a guest. Only his words could make everyone comply; others were not qualified to direct anyone. Seeing this scene, Li Yi did not refuse and immediately said: "Firstly, gather everyone from the house, including the deceased, the corpses must be put together so that no one goes missing. There must be someone patrolling near the house, for though it is now a ruin, the Merchant Master’s estate still holds considerable wealth, and it must be safeguarded against outsiders." "Understood." The guards and guests promptly replied. They promised Li Yi that they would definitely accomplish these tasks. The guests rounded up those nearby, including servants, beauties, and hidden slaves, while the guards patrolled around the house, warning those who came at night to watch not to come closer. This was the home of Merchant Lord Xiu Xiang; even if it had become a ruin, it still had the right to forbid others from entering unless they intended to rob, in which case the guards would not hesitate to act. Perhaps because Li Yi was still present. A powerful Divine Blood Warrior in the area deterred many from daring to enter this territory, ceasing some thoughts of looting. Moreover, the corpses of the dead servants and guests were all gathered, besides many injured servants and beauties affected by the battle, though not dead, they had lost the ability to move. The guests settled the injured in one place as well. In a matter of moments, order had been restored. Afterwards, the remaining people searched the ruins for the house’s wealth. Someone found a chest of gold, others found many bamboo scrolls, and some found the treasures stored by Xiu Xiang. All this wealth was placed beside Li Yi because only he had the power to protect these fortunes here, and only he could stay with Xiu Xiang’s wealth; others didn’t have this qualification. Working through these trivial tasks for several hours, they finally ended. "That’s about it." Li Yi looked at the now-ruined house and decided to start restoring everything. He activated his mana and flipped his hand. The ground shook, the earth churned, and in mere seconds, the ruins were all buried underground, and all the buildings disappeared, replaced by flat ground. This scene left the guests, guards, and servants somewhat stunned, unclear what this Da Yi was doing. But it looked like a good deed. Was the honored guest leveling the ground and clearing the ruins to ease the rebuilding of the house? Li Yi wasn’t clearing the ruins out of boredom; he activated his mana and pointed, casting Tao Skill, House Building Skill. Back in the End of Dharma Cultivation World, he specially cultivated this spell, and with precise control of mana, he could build a city in mere moments, though made of stone, but under the mana’s enhancement, it was very firm and durable, capable of standing firm for hundreds of years. Building a house was even easier. The ground wriggled as stone-made buildings sprang up. In less than ten seconds, Xiu Xiang’s damaged house was restored completely, though this time all the decoration was gone, and all materials turned to stone, which didn’t look much appealing. "Is this Divine Arts?" The guests, guards, and servants were all shocked upon seeing this scene. They were strong enough to destroy a house but couldn’t build one in such a short time. Li Yi’s method exceeded their understanding, making them associate it with the rumored Divine Arts. Divine Arts, as the name suggests, are means that only the Divine can possess. It is said that some direct-line Divine Blood Warriors also possess Divine Arts, but these are beyond the knowledge of fighters like them at the bottom. Only because Merchant Lord Xiu Xiang had seen much of the world and often chatted with the former Nanshan Bo, mentioning matters of Divine Arts. "This will have to do; all arrangements are as before, everyone should resume their residency here as before." Li Yi calmly spoke. Everyone looked at Li Yi with increasingly reverent eyes. It should be said, no wonder the master waited a year to greet this honored guest; with such power and means, indeed worthy of waiting. After half a beat, everyone quickly promised Li Yi. They immediately performed their previous duties, managing the house, continuing to guard the gate, while some guests took a hundred gold from Xiu Xiang’s left fortunes, claiming to buy meat to entertain Da Yi. Meanwhile, several uninjured beauties came to Da Yi, expressing willingness to serve him. Everyone tried their best to take good care of this honored guest.
