The Godhood gives the status of a God, and possessor have to perform some celestial duties. In other words, the Heavenly Dao Religion's God was obligated to complete tasks, but Jiang Xiu ate him. This was fine. Though Jiang Xiu didn't know what this Divine Halo was, he used the Supreme Divinity Art to make it his own.
This was equivalent to Jiang Xiu taking over the Godhood of the Heavenly Dao Religion's God.
This was a bit troublesome.
As they say, God overlooks a domain and ensures the peace in it. Jiang Xiu didn't know what the Heavenly Dao Religion's God wanted to do and what duties he held. If something goes wrong, it will result in a massive disaster.
Jiang Xiu was even more convinced that the origin of the Heavenly Dao Religion's God's Godhood was related to the Heavenly Dao Religion which had appeared several hundred years ago. He speculated that this must've been a reward for saving many people during that time.
In Sister Xiang's home, Chu Qiancheng and the others bragged about Jiang Xiu to her. Each one of them was excited, even the usually quiet and gentle Chen Xue couldn't suppress her excitation.
Sister Xiang was stupefied after listening to their tales, "You're talking about Little Xiu, right?"
"Yes, about Jiang Xiu!"
All of them smiled after seeing Sister Xiang's stunned face.
Even they couldn't believe all that had happened.
"Little Xiu became the Dao Soldier?"
"Yep!"
"How is that possible? You imps are just playing with me, right?"
However, the following event left her with no choice but to believe it. Bao Lingyun and Pei Shuai came to find Chu Qiancheng to apologize. They both used to talk with her in a foul manner, but their behavior was filled with extreme respect this time. They even bowed towards Chu Qiancheng and the others.
"Da Nian, what should be done?"
Da Nian muttered to himself for a moment. He and Chu Qiancheng were people who dabbled in the underworld, so they didn't make a hard decision. They had to consider the laws. "Since we've grown up together, let it be."
"That's fine."
"Anyways, after today, their days won't be any good."
Little Min and Chen Xue didn't object to this too.
"Get lost and don't come to Dongzhou ever again."
Bao Lingyun and Pei Shuai nodded helplessly. Jiang Xiu controlled the entire underworld of Jiang City now. Since everyone knew they had offended Jiang Xiu, no one would employ them. They wouldn't be able to do anything even if they stayed.
"T-Thank you…"
They thanked with great difficulty. At least, Chu Qiancheng and the rest hadn't humiliated them and didn't break their limbs.
"Boss Zhong, where's Mr. Jiang?"
"Mr. Jiang has already returned to Jiang City to attend to an important matter."
Sister Xiang nodded.
She thought that Jiang Xiu must have returned to Jiang City to calm his mind down. In truth, he was afraid she would ask for an explanation and thus escaped. During those three millenniums, it was always his disciples listening to him. He wasn't used to someone teaching him or controlling him. Just like how the old adage goes - 'Even a Hero is afraid of seeing his old neighbor again.'
"Sister Xiang, Mr. Jiang has already made arrangements. In the future, no matter what happens, please come find me. I will settle it."
Sister Xiang nodded. Jiang Xiu had grown up under her care. He had now matured and even has excellent future prospects. She wasn't accustomed to all this courtesy and neither did she have anything she'd need to ask Boss Zhong's help for.
If there were anything, that'd be her son, and Jiang Xiu would never mistreat Chu Qiancheng.
As expected, Boss Zhong continued, "Chu Qiancheng, Da Nian, are you willing to follow me? I have a few businesses which need someone to manage them. You'll definitely be satisfied with the income."
Bao Lingyun and Pei Shuai had gotten rich by doing the same. Moreover, there was also the relation between Jiang Xiu and Chu Qiancheng.
"However, Mr. Jiang has already instructed that you're only allowed to do white-collar work."
"We're willing!"
Jiang City, Tang Family, Ancestral Hall.
Tang Zhenshan wore a troubled expression on his face. After hearing that Jiang Xiu had killed Lin Zhenbei with a single attack and awed all the others present there, his face filled with ecstasy. With Jiang Xiu at the top, his Tang family's supremacy strengthened even more. This was because Jiang Xiu didn't possess his own force, neither had he come from an influential family and relied on the Tang family mainly.
Another important thing was that Tang Zhenshan became convinced that Jiang Xiu's limit wasn't Jiang City, so he'd naturally need someone to manage the affairs of Jiang City. Who else would be a better a choice other than the Tang family which has accompanied him from the beginning?
But unfortunately, all the good news was ruined by the report that Tang Tao had offended Jiang Xiu and got lessoned in turn.
"Old Father, please give me another chance."
"One more chance."
Tang Tao knelt on the ground.
All the young and old members of the Tang family were present here.
"You don't understand the benevolence Mr. Jiang has showed my Tang family. Your action of offending him is equivalent to bringing ruin to the family."
"If the rest of the members treated the friends of the family like you, where would the Tang family even stand now?"
Tang Zhenshan berated.
"Serve the family punishment."
No one knew how frightening the punishment of the Tang family was, but everyone knew one thing, which was that Tang Tao's dead body was taken out through the backyard, cremated and then the ashes poured into the river in front of the Tang family's ancestral house.
This was their answer given to Jiang Xiu.
This was equivalent to cutting off the rotten branch to save the tree!
On the next day, Jiang Xiu went to class as usual. However, Deity Xiu had once again arrived late and not just a little. He had entered the classroom during the third period.
Jiang Xiu had spent the previous night researching the Godhood Halo but still wasn't able to figure anything out.
He had hardly sat down in his seat when Ye Bing had sent a little paper slip to him, which had reached him after passing through 2 boys and 3 girls.
Jiang Xiu opened it: Jiang Xiu, you scoundrel. You've dragged the class behind again.
She had taken such a tremendous effort to deliver these words.
Jiang Xiu stood up all of a sudden, "Teacher, someone is passing a paper slip."
The literature teacher stopped teaching and came over towards him in rage, "Show it!"
At this moment, Student Ye Bing's face scrunched up.
Bastard. You actually reported it to the teacher. Come fight this Lady if you have the guts. Was there a need to take such a devious action?
What am I supposed do now?
"What's written on it?"
The teacher took a look and felt like laughing but then felt that wouldn't appear appropriate.
"Student Jiang Xiu, who wrote this to you?"
Jiang Xiu pointed towards Ye Bing.
Ye Bing's face flushed up.
The entire class made a commotion.
Ye Bing was the campus beauty queen. The boys would feel happy for an entire week if she even just spoke a sentence to them, and she had actually written a paper slip to Jiang Xiu. The students all felt curious. "Teacher, what's written on the paper slip?"
"Stop making trouble!"
"Student Ye Bing, come to the Teacher's Office after class ends."
In the next period, everyone didn't have the mind to listen to the teacher when such an exciting thing was going on. All kinds of rumors were being spread around.
"Maybe Ye Bing wrote a love letter to Jiang Xiu."
Ye Bing looked towards Jiang Xiu with resentment, her heart was about to collapse. Although chided by her mother from her childhood till now, this was the first time she was being called to the Teacher's Office.
"Jiang Xiu, just wait. This Lady will settle this matter with you."
After the class, all the boys in the class gathered around Jiang Xiu like a swarm of bees.
"Jiang Xiu, what did Queen Ye write to you?"
"Was it a love letter?"
Jiang Xiu wore a calm expression. This Deity wouldn't even take a look at a love letter from a person whose qualifications to become this Deity's maid was cancelled. Jiang Xiu felt quite delighted as he saw Ye Bing follow behind the Literature teacher gloomily. Hmph! You dare scold this Deity? You've overestimated yourself.
Deity Xiu always took revenge decisively.
One wave hadn't subsided yet another rose again.
After the classes ended, Jiang Xiu received a call. He didn't want to pick it up after looking at the caller ID but still answered the call as this was something he had to confront, "Hey, need anything from this Deity?"
The news of the Campus Queen Ye Bing writing a love letter to a boy was really explosive. The matter had disseminated quite far and naturally reached Cheng Lingsu. "Do you remember what day it is this coming Saturday?"
Three millenniums had passed so there's no way Jiang Xiu remembered it.
"What day?"
Cheng Lingsu felt fury overcome her but then felt relieved. Since they were to never get together, there was no need for her to bother about whether he remembered things about her. "It's my birthday."
"I'm planning to arrange a birthday party to relax and alleviate the pressure of studying for the college entrance exam. I'm going to invite some of my friends to it. My mother said that I should also invite you…"
Jiang Xiu's gaze flickered. Cheng Lingsu's birthday… which means she'll come back too. Three millenniums… I haven't seen you for a full three millenniums. Are you living well?
"Alright. This Deity will attend."
