Xu Xiaoshou stared deeply at Dao Qiongcang, then his gaze shifted towards Yue Gongli, pausing before he continued, "If you still have something to say, or something to tell me in advance."
Elder Sang and Water Ghost exchanged a glance, each surprised.
Xu Xiaoshou had toughened up!
He had become very assertive, very proactive.
The implied meaning was not hard to discern: If you still want to slack off, if you still want to sit back and wait for death, I can send you on your way right now, so you don't hold me back.
This statement, before his eradication of the evil god Yi, would have been scoffed at by Dao Qiongcang and Yue Gongli. But now...
It could only be said that the deterrence was tremendous!
"I have something to say!"
Dao Qiongcang had not yet spoken when Yue Gongli scurried over.
As a cunning man, he saw clearer than anyone the coldness in Lord Shou's eyes and understood his own status well: "I have important intelligence to offer first, I am very useful."
