The Liu family head was truly desperate at this moment. His gaze shifted to Lin Xiaotian, a plea gradually appearing in his eyes: "Since your strength is so immense, Lin Xiaotian, why do you humiliate me like this?"
"The enmity between our entire Liu family and you was merely being used from the start."
"My daughter was used by Ye Lingfeng, which is why she caused trouble for you. This matter originally had little to do with our entire Liu family. It was only later, as the conflict deepened, that some changes occurred."
"Now, I have realized my mistake. You are an invincible, great figure."
"And our Liu family in your hands can only be considered an ant that can be crushed at any moment. We admit our mistakes and surrender to you."
"Please, leave us an opportunity. From now on, I will be your dog. Whatever you command, I will support you without reservation. Even if you ask us to die, I will execute it without hesitation."
He was afraid, and he was also yielding.
Lin Xiaotian's smile became exceptionally bright.
"Everyone has heard his words. He said that even if I ordered him to die, he would do so without hesitation."
As he spoke, a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes.
"Since you are so enthusiastically requesting it, it would make me seem petty if I refused."
"Then I will give you one outcome: you can go and die."
"You said you would execute whatever I do without reservation. Then I will hand you over to everyone present. They want what you have, and you must give it to them."
"If you cannot produce the two pills, you will be at their mercy."
Upon hearing this, the people present showed extremely eager expressions, especially True Person Bai Mei.
He had just felt how terrifying Lin Xiaotian's power was, and he felt it more clearly than others. His own strength was on the verge of a breakthrough, yet a barrier stood in his way, preventing him from crossing it.
This did not mean his strength was lacking; rather, his senses were even sharper.
He could perceive things that others could not. If Lin Xiaotian were to make a move, none of them present would survive.
This was why he had not sought trouble with Lin Xiaotian from the beginning. He had not even dared to demand such pills from Lin Xiaotian.
Because the price he could offer was too limited.
Lin Xiaotian's smiling gaze turned to him: "I am a bit curious why they all call you True Person Bai Mei. Your eyebrows look quite black, and only your hair is a bit white!"
True Person Bai Mei bowed respectfully to Lin Xiaotian and then said nervously, "This humble Taoist's Taoist name is Bai Mei."
"I have always cultivated in a Taoist temple around this city."
"I almost never concern myself with worldly affairs. I am also a successor of the Wudang sect."
"I have a few disciples and grand-disciples who have developed quite well, though they are not in this city. If Young Master needs anything in the future, feel free to call upon me."
"As long as I can help, I will do so without hesitation. And as long as it doesn't involve me jumping into a fiery pit or doing anything wicked, I am willing to go through fire and water."
His words were very cautious.
Lin Xiaotian's face indeed showed a bright smile: "You are quite honest. Now, I will ask you one question: do you believe me?"
True Person Bai Mei felt a sense of helplessness in his heart. Could he dare to say he didn't believe?
He could only nod with a wry smile.
Lin Xiaotian chuckled. He might not be able to see what True Person Bai Mei was thinking, but he didn't care. He directly said, "If you believe me, then do as I say now. Go directly to his study and search."
"With your strength, getting the safe in his study is not difficult."
"You can then have him figure out how to open it. The pills are in that safe."
"I can already smell their scent. As for where the other pill bottle is, I cannot smell it. It might be hidden deeper."
Upon hearing this, the Liu family head's face instantly turned extremely unsightly: "How, how could you know where I hid the pills? Did someone in our Liu family betray us and tell you everything?"
He had been pondering this question: why was Lin Xiaotian so omniscient?
He did not believe that a young man could achieve such a level.
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "That's right. There has long been a traitor in your family, and that person is your son."
"He has told me all the information. His goal is only one: to save his own life."
"Are you feeling surprised now?"
Hearing this, bloodshot veins spread across the Liu family head's eyes, filled with immense fury. He instinctively looked at his son.
At this point, Lin Xiaotian had no reason to lie to him anymore. If it were possible, the one who betrayed him would definitely be his son, because his son knew far more than anyone else.
Liu Shaoxuan felt terrible upon hearing this.
"Dad, believe me, I didn't say anything. He's deliberately smearing me. He just wants you to kill me."
As soon as his voice fell, many people around him began to sneer.
"You expect this gentleman to make a move against you?"
"What's the point of scheming against you?"
"Take a look at yourself in a puddle of urine, what kind of character are you? You scoundrel, do you think the master would bother scheming against you?"
"If he wanted to kill you, it would be as simple as a clap of his hand. Why would he need to scheme?"
Liu Shaoxuan said tremblingly, "Dad, I..."
Before he could utter two words, the Liu family head sighed, "Even if you did these things, I will never blame you."
"After all, you did it to survive. If you live, the roots of our Liu family will not be severed."
"As long as you live, it means our Liu family can continue. Even if you betrayed all of us, it doesn't matter. I believe that one day in the future, our Liu family will rise again."
"Always remember this hatred. We don't believe Lin Xiaotian can last forever. Every family has a day of decline."
"That will be the day for us to seek revenge. Remember my words."
The Liu family head's final words were very soft, audible only to his son.
However, Liu Shaoxuan was anxious to say something.
At this moment, the Liu family head, without any warning, suddenly pulled out a knife and plunged it directly into his own chest.
He would rather die than continue to endure torment.
The torment had not even begun; it was merely Lin Xiaotian's amusement.
