Du Daming's eyes held anticipation. If his strength could be restored and he could live for several more decades, what did it matter if he was controlled by Lin Xiaotian?
Life was gone, and nothing else mattered.
He had thought it through very clearly.
Lin Xiaotian also saw the old man's thoughts, which was why he gave Du Daming a chance.
However, the other party had already stained his hands with the blood of the Lin family.
He could only become a knife in his hand.
After he whispered a few words, Du Daming received two Heaven Mending Pills.
"Remember what I said. If you don't do it, don't come looking for me when the蛊 (gu) worm in your body acts up."
Lin Xiaotian patted Du Daming on the shoulder, a bright smile on his face. "Remember, this is your only chance. I don't have many opportunities to use you, and if you can't grasp it, there won't be a second time."
Du Daming quickly nodded. "Young Master, don't worry, I definitely won't disappoint you."
"From now on, I am your most loyal old dog."
"Whoever you tell me to bite, I'll bite them immediately."
Lin Xiaotian nodded with satisfaction. "You can leave now. When I need you, I will contact you at any time."
"The most important thing now is your mission."
After Du Daming left, Lin Xiaotian walked out of the courtyard, took all the medicinal herbs with him, and then looked at Wu Chengming and the others.
"Are you wondering why I let him go?"
Everyone nodded, because they knew what kind of person Du Daming was, and if he couldn't be controlled, they might end up getting hurt.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and said, "He has the same kind of predicament that you all had before."
"If he dares to defy my will, then he will surely wish he were dead."
"I could have killed him directly, but that would have been too easy for him. I want to use him as a knife to deal with some people."
Wu Chengming and the others didn't ask any more questions. Although Lin Xiaotian had removed the蛊 (gu) worms from them, the events they had witnessed had deeply impressed them.
"Young Master, are we going back now?"
Lin Xiaotian smiled. "I've already said it, call me Boss from now on."
"It's still a bit early to go back. Your master already knows some news and will definitely come here. It won't be long before he arrives. He must be very anxious, afraid that something has happened to all of you."
"Coincidentally, I also have some things I want to discuss with your master, so let's wait for him here for now!"
There were some things he needed to think about carefully.
They waited for about half an hour when an old man suddenly pushed open the door, his face filled with uncontrollable anger.
"Du, you old dog, get out here!"
"You're no match for me, yet you want to take it out on my disciples. What kind of person are you?"
"How did I not realize you were such a heartless scoundrel before? Despicable and shameless!"
His anger was boiling, and his furious roar made the dust in the courtyard tremble slightly.
Lin Xiaotian walked out of the room with a smile. "Old man, why are you so angry? Your disciples are all safe, nothing has happened."
"I am their boss, and if anything happens to them, I will naturally take care of it."
The old man was slightly stunned. The voice sounded very familiar; he had heard it on the phone before.
"It's you?"
He looked Lin Xiaotian up and down. The young man in front of him had no cultivation and looked like an ordinary person, yet he could make his most arrogant junior disciple so convinced. His strength was definitely not ordinary.
However, now was not the time to think about these things. He directly asked, "Where is Gao Yang?"
"And where are the others here?"
"Especially that old dog Du Daming, I must teach him a lesson today. I gave him three points of respect and didn't bother with him, yet he dared to get on my nerves and even kidnapped my disciples."
He did have the strength to deal with Du Daming directly, but he didn't act because they had a good relationship in the past.
It was just that Du Daming had become increasingly excessive and extreme.
He had completely given up on repairing their relationship, and now that Du Daming had done this to his disciples, he decided not to spare the old man anymore, otherwise, he would be a venomous snake, ready to pounce and bite him at any time.
And he was well-prepared at the moment.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and said, "That old fellow has already been dealt with by me. He has now become another tool in my hands."
"As for your young disciples, they are all cultivating inside now. Most of them have made breakthroughs after taking the medicine I gave them. However, Wu Gaoyang has disappeared somewhere."
Hearing this, the old man's face darkened completely.
He pointed to his nose and said indignantly, "Young man, do you think I, Li Cangshan, am a fool?"
"You're telling me now that you've subdued Du Daming and turned him into a tool for you to use. Do you even know his strength?"
"Let alone convincing him, you probably can't even defeat one of his fingers."
"I've sensed it carefully, and you don't have the slightest trace of internal energy, proving that you are just an ordinary person. Du Daming is cunning and extremely radical. He wouldn't have been tricked by you."
"And in front of a true master, your lies would fall apart."
Lin Xiaotian's face showed a brilliant smile. "Old man, there's another possibility you haven't mentioned."
"What possibility?" Li Cangshan asked.
"If there's a difference of two or more realms, you won't be able to see through my strength. To you, I might just appear as an ordinary person." Lin Xiaotian said with a smile.
Hearing this, Li Cangshan couldn't help but burst into laughter, his eyes filled with mockery. "Are you looking down on this old man?"
"If you were trying to fool someone else, you might have succeeded, but trying to fool me, hehe!"
He took a few steps forward, and his aura suddenly erupted.
His Grandmaster-level strength was like a blazing furnace, burning fiercely.
His aura pressed down like a tidal wave.
If it were an ordinary person, under such pressure, they might lose their composure and even wet themselves.
However, he was now facing Lin Xiaotian.
Lin Xiaotian's smile remained unchanged. He even took two steps forward, reached out, and picked a blade of grass from Li Cangshan's shoulder. "You came down the mountain in such a hurry that you still have so much grass on you. Let me help you brush it off!"
