"Haha, little guy, what are you saying?"

"If it weren't for you back then, I probably wouldn't be here today, and I wouldn't be able to walk out of the Tagh Desert."

The senior was grateful to Luo Xing.

Without Luo Xing's Fire Lotus, he would be unable to break the seal and would probably still be waiting to die in the Tagor Desert.

He had been trapped in the Tager Desert for countless years, unable to break the Scorpion King's seal. If it weren't for the Scorpion King's flames, he would likely be dead by now. His lifespan is also limited, as the seal's absence greatly shortens its lifespan.

Moreover, he has to endure the pain of the Scorpion King's flame seal every day, and even he can't last much longer. At most, it'll be a year or two, and then it'll probably be over.

Seeing that the old man was grateful, Luo Xing couldn't help but feel happy. If the other party were truly a vicious and wicked person, even if he had helped him, the other party wouldn't remember his kindness and would only think about how to plunder the treasures in his possession.

In this world of cultivation, who wouldn't do such a thing? Murder and robbery are practically daily occurrences. The heroic grandeur of righteous individuals only exists in books.

At this moment, the Zhao family members in the courtyard were all dumbfounded by what they saw. Who would have thought that their ancestor would actually know this young man in front of him? Judging from what the ancestor said, it seemed that he had even received a favor from him.

Of course, many people were seeing their ancestors for the first time.

After all, their ancestors were completely unfamiliar to them; these were figures who hadn't appeared for decades, making their existence seem like an unbelievable concept to them.

However, they had all heard of their ancestor's name to some extent; it was said that he was a ruthless killer in Black Soil City decades ago. It was precisely because of this ancestor that their Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce became the number one chamber of commerce back then.

However, it was precisely because of the disappearance of their ancestor decades ago that their Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce declined for a time.

But unexpectedly, the ancestor's return was not to support them, but to help the other side.

Zhao Qingtian slowly got up, spitting out mouthfuls of blood onto the ground, but he dared not utter a single complaint. He slowly walked to the ancestor.

"Grand Ancestor, please calm down, please calm down!"

"It happened just now; I was overcome by lust and greed for a moment."

"Pah! What lust and greed? I was just being foolish and ignorant. Ancestor, please spare my life."

"I promise it won't happen again."

"Please, ancestor, spare my life! Please forgive me for all the years I've served the Zhao family's business guild faithfully."

Others may not know the temperament of their ancestor, but Zhao Qingtian does.

Back then, he was just a little kid following his ancestors around.

He had clearly witnessed firsthand how ruthless the old tycoon was. Back then, his ancestor would kill without batting an eye. With just a single move, he could instantly kill numerous powerful individuals.

He had no doubt that if he offended the ancestor now and became unhappy, he would be personally eliminated by the ancestor in the next second.

Indeed, he was right; the old man had genuinely harbored murderous intent for a moment just now, even though he had been ruthless his entire life.

But he only killed those who deserved to die; he never killed innocent people indiscriminately, and he was a chivalrous and righteous man his entire life. He was called a villain by some, but this Zhao Qingtian has broken the rules of the Zhao family.

Therefore, even if he killed Zhao Qingtian, he would not feel any psychological burden. Moreover, others would say it was a way of purging his disciples.

But thinking about all the years he was away, if it weren't for Zhao Qingtian helping to manage the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce, who knows what it would be like now.

Although he was not satisfied with the boy's behavior, the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce had probably fallen from a first-rate to a second-rate organization.

In the end, the reluctant senior still chose to save Liu Zhaoqingtian's life, but he would still have to give him a warning from time to time in the future.

The older man turned to look at Luo Xing.

"Young man, give me some face and let this matter drop today, okay?"

"I apologize to you on behalf of this kid, for the sake of how I saved your little girl back then."

"Old man, I assure you, this will never happen again. Please rest assured, young man."

But the next second, Luo Xing suddenly clutched his stomach. He seemed to be in great pain, and sat down on the ground, his face contorted in agony, as if he were seriously injured.

Poker Star was calculating in his mind. "You think I'll just let him off so easily? No way! He was about to beat me to death with his own hands. If you hadn't arrived quickly, I'd probably be dead by now. Besides, Little Thunder Dragon hasn't shown up yet. If it weren't for you, I'd probably be dead already. Now, how can I show mercy to someone who tried to kill me?"

That's impossible, absolutely impossible. If I don't show some appreciation today, humph, not a chance!

"Senior, the strength of Patriarch Zhao was truly too great. I didn't expect to be seriously injured by him in such a short time."

"But it's nothing serious. I don't think he did it on purpose. I should let him rest for a year or two, and that should be enough."

Zhao Qingtian was also somewhat stunned by Luo Xing's shameless words.

Clearly, this kid is trying to take advantage of the situation! He hadn't even made a move yet, and his strength hadn't even touched the other party, so how could the other party be seriously injured?

This kid is clearly extorting money, yes, extorting money, it's just too much.

Zhao Qingtian couldn't help but feel a murderous glint in his eyes. If it weren't for his ancestor being there, he would have loved to tear this brat apart and kill him on the spot!

"Kid, don't go too far. I didn't hurt you at all. You're just trying to extort me."

"Kid, do you have any conscience at all? Do you have any conscience at all? I didn't even touch you."

Zhao Qingtian's exasperated appearance was indeed pitiful, but Luo Xing seemed even more aggrieved.

Princess Lily, the primal god standing to the side, was also on the verge of losing her composure. She hadn't expected their primal god to be so wicked.

There's no way around it. You can't leave empty-handed after coming all this way. It's impossible not to leave something behind.
