Chapter 560: Chapter 257 A Letter_3

"No rush, it’s fine." Qi Yuan scanned his surroundings, seemingly lost in thought, before suddenly asking, "Do you think I’m too rule-abiding?"

Today, the beggar-like Qi Practitioner died in front of Qi Yuan, prompting a myriad of feelings in him.

There were too many in this world who broke the rules.

Simply relaying a message ended in someone’s death.

This angered Qi Yuan considerably.

To deal with rule-breakers, Qi Yuan understood that he too, should break the rules.

Otherwise, he would be hindered by them.

"Before acquiring enough power, following rules is a good thing, it can help one live longer." Li Yaxian did not know why Qi Yuan asked such a question, but she voiced her thoughts anyway.

Qi Yuan pondered upon hearing this.

"You make a good point.

Rules are designed by the powerful to bind the weak.

And me... should I be considered powerful now?

So then..."

Qi Yuan suddenly realized that he was too kind, too rule-abiding.

If he didn’t follow the rules, would people dare to murder casually in front of him, disregarding laws and authority?

Clearly not.

If he set the rules, everyone would follow them.

"Looks like I haven’t killed enough people." Qi Yuan mumbled, "Nobody fears me, that’s not a good thing."

Qi Yuan thought he had enough qualifications to be a villainous overlord.

If that’s the case, why should he follow rules?

Why should he go through a step-by-step process?

Wouldn’t it be better to directly approach Emperor Wu?

At this moment, Qi Yuan’s thoughts became clear.

Just then, a mocking voice echoed.

"Elder Fu Lv is busy today, I’m afraid you won’t be able to see them."

A plump middle-aged man appeared. Though he was quite fat, his physique looked small compared to his huge head.

His eyes were full of greed, a fervent gaze caressing Li Yaxian’s petite body before landing on Qi Yuan, growing even more passionate.

The arrival of the man caused Li Yaxian’s expression to subtly change.

She had hoped not to encounter this man today and intentionally avoided him.

Yet, she still ran into him.

This plump practitioner was Yang Kang, who consistently made her life difficult.

Now that Yang Kang spoke in this way, Li Yaxian immediately understood he was causing trouble.

Anger rose within her, yet she dared not lash out.

The girl in the yellow skirt was burning with rage, glaring furiously at Yang Kang.

Qi Yuan’s eyes, on the other hand, were deep. He looked at Yang Kang, speaking softly, "Did you intentionally cause trouble, making it impossible for Fu Lv to meet us today?"

Taken aback by Qi Yuan’s statement, Yang Kang soon laughed and said, "You’re too blunt. I did not meddle in any way. Don’t wrongfully accuse a good man.

However, if you’re willing to pay a price, I might be inclined to help and make Elder Fu Lv available for you today."

As he spoke, his eyes gleamed with greed.

"Hmm, I won’t wrong you. I’ll just cut off your dog head."

Qi Yuan stated flatly.

His words were so sudden that everyone present was unable to react.

"What?" Yang Kang was taken aback, sensing a thick air of threat.

Just then, a flash of sword light swept past. Yang Kang, who had just been laughing, didn’t have any time to react and was instantly decapitated.

This scene unfolded too quickly and shockingly.

Li Yaxian couldn’t process what had occurred. She could only dumbly look at Qi Yuan, who was speaking to the corpse on the ground.

"Your head is too big for your shoulders to support it. I helped you lighten the load."

"You wanted me to pay a price, right? Is this enough?"

Unfortunately, Yang Kang had fallen, unable to answer Qi Yuan’s question.
