In this day and age, one had to know how to compromise and lower one's head if one wanted to live a carefree life.
If Chen Pingan's attitude was firm enough, he could have sworn to protect Xiao Yang with his life. Whoever dared to harm Xiao Yang would be going against him, and he would fight back with his life.
But he didn't.
This was equivalent to giving the three factions some leeway and not completely killing them.
This way, the three factions still had a way out.
Therefore, Dongfang Zhong, Nanfang Hou, and Li Jujing, the leaders of the three factions, didn't need to fall out with Chen Pingan. This was equivalent to giving both sides some leeway, and there was still the possibility of cooperation.
There was no loss to the three factions.
It didn't matter that they couldn't act in Chen Pingan's courtyard. Central City was so big, and they didn't believe that Xiao Yang would stay in his courtyard every day. Xiao Yang would come out one day, and then they would have the chance to act.
This was something Chen Pingan had tacitly agreed to.
Therefore, even if they killed Xiao Yang, Chen Pingan couldn't make things difficult for them.
"Then, Chen Shaoye, we'll take our leave."
Dongfang Zhong, Nangong Yu, and Li Jujing said their farewells.
They already knew Chen Pingan's attitude and bottom line, so there was no need to stay.
"Steward, send them off for me."
Chen Pingan called out.
Steward Chen responded and hurried out with a smile, "Esteemed guests, I'll send you off."
"Sorry to trouble you."
Dongfang Zhong, Nangong Yu, and Li Jujing said some polite words and walked out of Chen Pingan's courtyard.
Soon.
Steward Chen returned.
He returned to Chen Pingan's side, and said, "Young Master, the three great forces will definitely not let Alchemist Xiao off so easily. Do you think we should keep Alchemist Xiao in the mansion for this period of time? According to Alchemist Xiao's personality, it seems that he could leave at any time."
After all, they hadn't signed a master and servant agreement with Xiao Yang. It was just an ordinary employer-employee relationship, so other than refining pills, Xiao Yang was still very relaxed.
Chen Pingan thought for a moment and said, "For Alchemist Xiao's sake, try to keep him here."
"Alright, I'll talk to him personally about this."
Chen Pingan thought for a moment, then walked out of the living room and headed towards the alchemy room.
When he reached the Alchemy Room, he saw Xiao Yang.
"Alchemist Xiao."
He called out to Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang turned around and saw that it was Chen Pingan.
A smile appeared on his face as he said, "Young Master Chen is here? I don't know if my matter has caused you trouble. Actually, I can handle this matter myself. "
Xiao Yang was indeed capable of this.
Back when he had killed Dongfang Bai and Nangong Cang, he had already anticipated today's outcome.
But looking at Chen Pingan's words, it seemed like he had blocked it for him.
This made Xiao Yang have a whole new level of respect for Chen Pingan, and he paid more attention to him.
Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment before he said, "Alchemist Xiao, I'm very sorry that I wasn't able to protect you. The three great powers will definitely not let you off. So, you should obediently stay here during this period of time. At the very least, you'll be safe like this. Although I wasn't able to protect you, they won't dare to barge into this courtyard. This is the bottom line between me and them. "
When Xiao Yang heard this, he immediately understood.
In the end, Chen Pingan was still biased towards Xiao Yang.
This made Xiao Yang not know whether to laugh or cry.
Actually, Chen Pingan didn't have to do this.
However, he couldn't be blamed. After all, he didn't understand Xiao Yang's strength, and Xiao Yang had never displayed his strength in front of him.
Chen Pingan said, "I know that you can handle it yourself, but there's no need to take the risk. Don't you think so? Alright, listen to me and stay here for a while. After I return victorious, I'll bring you back to planet Suzaku. I believe that the three great powers won't be able to do anything to you."
"Do you agree?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Yang and asked for Xiao Yang's opinion.
It seemed like he would only be at ease if Xiao Yang personally agreed.
Xiao Yang let out a helpless laugh and said, "Young Master Chen, actually, I know that you have good intentions. You want to protect me. In fact, the three great powers really can't do anything to me, and I can take care of them."
He didn't really want to agree.
Because Chen Pingan was doing him a favor, and he didn't want to accept it.
Moreover, the Ironteeth Gang had been bored to death recently. Ever since they swallowed the Divine Fist Sect, they had been living a lot more comfortably, and he could find something for them to do.
Dongfang Zhong, Nangong Yu, and Li Jujing wanted to cause trouble for Xiao Yang, so they couldn't blame Xiao Yang for making the first move.
After hearing Xiao Yang's words, Chen Pingan became silent.
He knew that Xiao Yang wouldn't agree so easily, but he still wanted to protect Xiao Yang and hoped that Xiao Yang wouldn't go out and take risks.
The problem was that he didn't have the authority to keep Xiao Yang here.
Seeing the situation, Steward Chen couldn't help but complain, "Alchemist Xiao, our young master has already gone to this extent, and it's already very difficult. Don't add more pressure on him."
It was fine in this courtyard, but if it was outside, how could he protect Xiao Yang?
Once Xiao Yang suffered any losses, it would be a heavy blow to Chen Pingan's reputation.
Xiao Yang rubbed his nose and said with an embarrassed smile, "Don't interfere in this matter, lest you get into trouble. If I can't handle this matter, I'll ask for your help."
Chen Pingan remained silent.
Steward Chen couldn't help but say, "Alchemist Xiao, when you say you can handle it, you mean to kill them all, right? This kind of method won't work. If you kill the younger ones, there will be older ones. If you kill the older ones, there will be even older ones. The three factions together have tens of thousands of people, you can't possibly kill all of them. Listen to our young master's advice, it's for your own good, and for the young master's good. "
As a butler, there was no one else who could be so loyal to the Young Master and work so hard for him.
Chen Pingan thought for a moment and said, "Alchemist Xiao, it's your freedom to come and go. I also believe that you have your own thoughts and decisions. Since that's the case, I won't say anything more."
"Young master."
Steward Chen's expression changed slightly as he called out.
From Chen Pingan's words, it seemed that he wanted to give up on Xiao Yang. This was very inappropriate.
After all, he had done so much for Xiao Yang. If he gave up halfway, all his previous efforts would be wasted.
Chen Pingan raised his hand and stopped Steward Chen's advice. He said indifferently, "Alchemist Xiao, my battle team is almost done with training. We'll set off in two days, so I'll have to trouble you during this period of time."
Thus, he took out a jade slip and various pill refining materials from his storage ring and handed them to Xiao Yang, saying, "Alchemist Xiao, this jade slip records the required pills and quantities. Please hurry up and refine them. I'll have to trouble you."
