Chapter 192: Plucking Feathers

Chapter 192: Plucking Feathers

Seizing the Starlight?

Guan Xuan had been plagued by hardship, frustration, and despair these days.

She couldn't see a future ahead.

Du Ge's words were like sunshine piercing through the clouds, gradually dispelling the fog in her heart and making her eyes sparkle with hope.

Indeed!

The Big Dipper Technique was all about seizing the starlight from the heavens for oneself; the Seven Stars Sect's founding martial arts clearly instructed them to fight and compete...

The third senior brother was right; they must seize and snatch!

Guan Xuan's admiration for Du Ge grew, but then she thought of a practical problem: "Sect Leader, what if we can't outcompete others?"

After setting the path of robbery for the Seven Stars Sect, Du Ge's attributes surged again. Delighted, he looked at Guan Xuan and tirelessly advised: "Open robbery, stealthy theft, or justifiable plunder, as long as our minds don't slip, there are always more ways than difficulties. It's not easy to be a good person, but is it not easy to be a bad one?"

Guan Xuan paused: "Sect Leader, are we going to become bad people?"

"No, it's just a metaphor," Du Ge chuckled. "The means can be ruthless, but the heart must be kind. If you rob the poor, you're indeed a bad person, but what about robbing the rich who are unkind? That's called enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven."

Although he wasn't aiming for nobility anymore, Du Ge still left a margin for it.

Blocking the road completely would make it hard to turn back later.

After all, he could take the second keyword skill with him...

If necessary, he could use plundering to boost his strength and wealth, and then turn back to pursue nobility.

Hasn't Buddhism said, 'Lay down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot'?

Enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven?

Guan Xuan learned a new term, her eyes lighting up as she looked at Du Ge: "Third senior brother... Sect Leader, I feel like you've changed."

"Change is good," Du Ge looked up at the sky and sighed, "I've been pondering these days, why has the Seven Stars Sect become like this? We did nothing wrong, is it just because Tianlan Valley took a fancy to our sect?

After much thought, I couldn't understand it; I saw no way out. So, I decided to leave with the seventh junior brother to find a new direction. But when I saw you in front of our master's memorial tablet, holding the Yellow Dragon Pill, ready to embrace death...

My heart was touched at that moment. I realized the essence of where to settle and stand in life; I guess this is what enlightenment is!"

Bang!

Guan Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

Was the third senior brother taking pity on me?

She stared blankly at Du Ge.

At that moment.

It seemed as if a halo enveloped him.

Du Ge didn't turn his head, continuing to question the servants in front of him: "So, this is your reason for taking the sect's things?"

"We've already left the things behind!" a servant muttered.

Rob them?

Du Ge looked at the few silent servants and suddenly lost interest, waving them off, unwilling to bother with them anymore!

After all.

The servants didn't even know martial arts; forcing them to stay wouldn't make them work well. Guan Xuan was right; it was better to let them go and find new servants later, easier and less troublesome.

Robbing them would bring no sense of achievement.

The servants breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and looked back longingly at the possessions they had abandoned before heading out of the sect.

The servant who had been holding the chicken picked it up from the ground and walked out with it.

Du Ge, watching the servant, asked subconsciously, "Wait, what's with the chicken?"

The servant defended, "Third Young Master, the pheasant was caught in my own field when I went up the mountain the day before yesterday; it's my own..."

Uh!

Du Ge choked, waving his hand at him again.

The servant sneered, turning away and muttering, "Really gone mad with poverty, even wanting to rob a chicken..."

Rob?

A flash of inspiration crossed Du Ge's mind.

Seeing you pitiful, I didn't have the heart to rob you, and you took advantage of it, really thinking I'm easy to bully!

Even a mosquito leg is still meat...

He suddenly dashed forward, snatched the chicken from the servant's arms, plucked the two most beautiful feathers from the chicken's tail, and then threw the chicken back: "Letting you go is a kindness from me, not a reason for you to think the Seven Stars Sect is easy to bully. The chicken has been raised on the sect's land for a few days, plucking its two tail feathers as compensation to the sect, as a punishment. Go, and hope you don't regret today's decision."

Crazy!

Watching Du Ge rob the pheasant but only pluck two feathers, the servant was dumbfounded, holding his own chicken and hurrying away, feeling even more that there was no future in Seven Stars Mountain.

Du Ge rushed to rob the chicken and pluck the feathers, and Guan Xuan was equally stunned by the scene, looking at Du Ge helplessly: "Sect Leader, why pluck those two feathers from the chicken? So childish!"

"Didn't I say? Rob the heavens, rob the earth, rob the air," Du Ge looked at the flickering personal interface, casually explaining, "Of course, we must start with the small things; we need to gradually develop the habit so that robbery becomes second nature, and you should learn too..."

Then.

His voice stopped abruptly.

Because he saw a new advanced skill appear on the interface:

Plucking Feathers: Anything that passes through your hands will inevitably have something taken by you.
