Lu Yang didn’t know what to do with Suohuan now that he’d rescued him. So he decided to just drop the whole mess. He stopped thinking about it entirely, dumped the mortal world’s Suohuan right onto the Suohuan inside the Righteous Enlightenment Banner, and washed his hands of it, playing the part of the hands-off boss.
“I was just bored. I saved him on a whim.”
“Patriarch, Master, Daoist friends, don’t misunderstand. This was just me being willful. Next time something similar happens, I won’t lift a finger.”
“Stop looking at me with those smiling eyes, it’s disgusting.”
“Go away, go away!”
Lu Yang practically fled the Righteous Enlightenment Banner. He couldn’t help it; the way the Listening Nether Patriarch and Daoist Master Demon-Slaying were looking at him gave him goosebumps. They were acting like he was a good person.
Back in his cave residence, Lu Yang closed his eyes and regulated his breath. A long while later, he took a deep breath, his heart slowly calming. When he opened his eyes again, his usual demeanor had returned.
