Uncle Nine: Starting with double pupils, he turned his master into a zombie.

"Bad luck?"

Upon hearing this word, Master Ren was taken aback at first, and then he thought of the many misfortunes he had experienced recently.

He nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, I've been incredibly unlucky lately; nothing I do goes smoothly!"

"Even this official road, which had been traveled hundreds of times without incident, was robbed by bandits."

"Could it be... Master, that you have a way to ward off bad luck?"

At this point, Master Ren's eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Yu with great expectation.

"If it's bad luck that's inherent in your destiny, there's nothing I can do about it. But this bad luck you're carrying was imposed upon you by someone else!"

"If you wish to remove it, you can break it with a wave of your hand!"

Upon hearing this, Master Ren was overjoyed, but then he was stunned.

"Wh...what? Someone forced this on me?"

"So, my recent bad luck is man-made?!"

Without any hesitation, Master Ren knelt down with a thud.

"Master! Please save me, Master!"

"Take whatever the Ren family has; and if the Ren family doesn't have it, I will do everything in my power to get it for you!"

After witnessing Li Yu's massacre of the bandits.

Master Ren was utterly terrified of cultivators!

Bad luck? Does this mean a cultivator is trying to harm me?!

How could an ordinary landlord like myself possibly stop them?

Seeing Ren Fa's flustered and listless appearance, Li Yu chuckled and helped him up.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ren. This person just wants to bring you bad luck. Even if I don't intervene, the bad luck will disappear on its own in ten days or half a month. That person has no intention of harming you!"

"But even if I can get rid of bad luck, what happens after that?"

"Don't you want to find the person who harmed you? What if they harm you again later?"

Li Yu deeply hated the cultivator who had plotted against Ren Fa!

What good can come from attacking ordinary people?!

Li Yu is determined to strike hard against such evil practices, uphold justice, and restore peace to the world!

Hmm... It's definitely not for the power of sublimation, absolutely not!

Having understood Li Yu's meaning, Master Ren suppressed his panic and began to think.

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand which cultivator he had offended!

He'd never seen such an important person before!

If we encountered them, we would have already started fawning over them, just like we would with Li Yu. How could we possibly offend them!

As for whether he might be disguised as an ordinary person?

That's impossible!

Having traveled extensively throughout the country, Mr. Ren was well aware of the consequences of arrogance, especially in this world.

He already had several wealthy business friends who, because of their oppression of the lower classes, were killed by those same people in a fit of rage.

Therefore, Ren Fa is extremely low-key and never causes trouble outside of his business.

They were also quite kind to the people, often distributing porridge and grain.

Not to mention in Renjia Town, it has a good reputation even in the provincial capital!

He couldn't understand how he, who never made enemies, could have offended a cultivator!

Seeing Master Ren's confusion, Li Yu smiled and reminded him.

"It doesn't necessarily mean that you directly offended a cultivator."

"Think carefully, does the Ren family have any rivals, especially business enemies?"

Upon hearing this, a name immediately popped into Ren Fa's mind.

Wang Yongfu!

That's it... it must be this bastard!

It was after I had a business conflict with this bastard that my luck started to get worse and worse!

I never thought about it this way before, but now that I see it, they're really not even going to act anymore!

The Wang family is a newly emerging wealthy family in recent years.

Originally just a grain merchant, he expanded his business in just a few years, rivaling even established landlords and gentry like the Ren family!

After expressing his speculation, Ren Fa nervously spoke again.

"So... the Wang family has cultivators backing them?!"

Seeing the somewhat uneasy look on Master Ren's face, Li Yu gently comforted him.

"Don't panic, I'll find out when I go and check."

Looking into Li Yu's imposing double pupils, Master Ren felt an overwhelming sense of security. Thinking of a family heirloom, he made up his mind!

................

Two days later, the Ren family's convoy arrived in Nandu.

As was customary, Ren Fa ordered the distribution of porridge to provide relief, which drew cheers and praise from the people.

From the shadows, a large, stout man with a fierce look in his eyes spoke menacingly.

"Ren Fa, you're getting more and more senile as you get older. What's the use of giving alms to these lowly people?"

"The Ren family is in your hands; they're doomed! You might as well grant my request!"

"Just wait, I'll devour your Ren family in no time!"

After saying that, the man looked at the butler behind him and asked.

"Is everything ready?"

"Ready, sir."

"Hmph, send them all over tonight. I need to ask the master for help!"

"......."

Unbeknownst to the two, a pair of eyes were quietly watching him leave.

When Master Ren finished distributing porridge and returned to his carriage...

Li Yu lightly tapped his finger in mid-air.

In an instant, two human figures formed from magical power appeared.

Without Li Yu needing to ask, Master Ren exclaimed indignation and shock.

"Wang Yongfu! This damned grassland!"

"And his butler!"

"Master, are they the murderers who harmed me?!"

Faced with Master Ren's question, Li Yu dispersed his magical human form and calmly spoke.

"It's pretty much true. I'll go check it out tonight."

Upon hearing this, Master Ren's face immediately lit up with joy.

He couldn't wait to get rid of that bastard Wang Yongfu.

You know, that bit of bad luck he hadn't dissipated yet!

After a moment's hesitation, Ren Fa spoke again.

"Master, what are your plans regarding Wang Chuanfu and his family?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yu asked in return with great interest.

"How do you want to resolve this?"

Knowing that the Li Yu before him was not the righteous cultivator in those stories who was compassionate to mortals, did not harm them, and did not participate in cause and effect.

Ren Fa spoke directly without any hesitation.

"kill!"

"I want Wang Yongfu dead! His entire family wiped out!"

A murderous glint appeared on Ren Fa's shrewd face.

Having traveled extensively throughout the country for many years, he never made enemies and often showed kindness to the people.

But this doesn't mean that Ren Fa is some kind-hearted, good-natured person!

In this world, good people can't survive, let alone live like Ren Fa!

To put it bluntly, he had seen more dead people than the bandits he had seen two days ago!

Suddenly realizing that his words seemed to have a problem, as if he were treating Li Yu as a henchman, Ren Fa quickly spoke up again.

"Master, please don't misunderstand, I have no intention of driving you in the slightest."

"You saved my life twice, I will always remember that!"

"As long as that cultivator is gone, I can take care of Wang Yongfu and his entire family myself!"

"Don't worry! I will definitely not let you do this for nothing!"

"........."

Seeing Master Ren speaking cautiously with a fawning expression on his face, Li Yu's lips curled into a smile.

This Ren Fa is quite a remarkable person.

"No need, it's just a small favor for Wang Yongfu and his entire family!"

"As for members who are not at home or are away, I don't care about them."

Upon hearing this, Ren Fa was overjoyed.

"We can never repay the master's kindness!"

"From this day forward, the Ren family will be your most loyal dogs; we'll bite wherever you point!"

"Don't put it so harshly. How could someone as talented as Master Ren be a dog? Now I'm a little curious about the gift you've prepared for me."

"Rest assured, you will be absolutely satisfied!"
