Chapter 1116: How to Know People (Part )

"As long as you acknowledge your blood relationship with the Xianwang Mansion, Jueqing Valley, and the Xiangxi Teng Clan, everything else will remain the same as before. You are still you, and Liu Xunyi is still Liu Xunyi. There is no difference..."

"The feeling you give me... is not like that." Liu Xunyi stared at Xie Xuan who was speaking confidently, and asked meaningfully, "If I want to be the Liu Xunyi who had no desires, was unrestrained, did not fight or compete, and was neither humble nor arrogant, could Second Master Xie agree to that?"

"This……"

"If I want to roam the world and be a free and easy person, and don't want to be the head of a family? I also don't want to be responsible for the rise and fall of a sect. Can Mr. Xie agree to this?"

"This……"

"If I don't want to have anything to do with Jin Fuyu, and don't want to compete with him for the Central Plains, can Second Master Xie agree?"

"Xun Yi, you..."

"I don't think Second Master Xie will agree to what I just said." Liu Xunyi smiled calmly, waved his hand to interrupt Xie Xuan who was confused, and pretended to have expected it, and answered his question for him calmly, "Not only Second Master Xie will not agree, Xunzhen, Valley Master Xiao, and Clan Leader Teng will probably not agree either."

"Xunyi, you should be more mature and stable now. You can't be as naive as a child, and you can't be as willful as a child." Seeing Liu Xunyi take the initiative to make her feelings clear, Xie Xuan suddenly felt relieved, so he stopped hiding it. "I'm sure you've heard this truth so many times that your ears are almost callused. I won't say more, so you don't think I'm nagging. You just need to remember that you are Luo Tianjin's son, the legitimate 'Young Sage Prince', and you should and must take on the responsibility of revitalizing the Sage Prince's Mansion. As for other things... they are all born from this, decided for this, and done for this."

Undoubtedly, Xie Xuan's words were full of selfish motives, intending to tie Liu Xunyi's future to the fate of Prince Xian's Mansion. His implication was to isolate Xiao Zhirou, Teng Sanshi, Xunzhen and others, at least outside Prince Xian's Mansion.

"Mr. Xie has said so many things today, but what he just said... is the truth." Liu Xunyi looked at the passionate and generous Xie Xuan with a half-smile. The forced smile was a little understanding, a little self-deprecating, and a little disappointed. "I should have expected that there is no such thing as a free lunch. It is impossible that the young prince of Qin sent Xunzhen to save me at the risk of his life for no profit. Similarly, you have gone through so much trouble to help me clear my name... it is impossible that you do not seek rewards."

"Xunyi, you can despise others, but you cannot ridicule the Xianwang Mansion. Because this is the kingdom that your father worked hard for more than 20 years to build, and the purpose is to hand it over to you. If letting you revive the Xianwang Mansion is also a deal, who in the world would not have selfish motives?" Xie Xuan was very dissatisfied with Liu Xunyi's negative attitude, and said angrily, "I still say that inheriting your father's legacy and shouldering the responsibility of the Xianwang Mansion is your destined fact, not a burden imposed on you by us. No matter how you feel, at least I, Xie Xuan, dare to swear to heaven that I have done my best for the Xianwang Mansion and for you and your son... and I have a clear conscience!"

Seeing Xie Xuan's red eyes and spit flying, Liu Xunyi knew that he had misunderstood her intention. She was shocked and bowed her hands to apologize: "Thank you, Master, for your forgiveness. I just said something wrong..."

"stand up!"

Before Liu Xunyi could bend down, Xie Xuan had already held his arms tightly and taught him: "Remember! From now on, you are the master of Xianwang Mansion. Your words, deeds, and actions represent the dignity, honor and disgrace of Xianwang Mansion. No matter when and where, no matter who and what happens, you must hold your head high and be proud, and have the courage and spirit to remain calm even when a mountain collapses in front of you. You can no longer apologize to anyone, and you can no longer be servile to anyone. In this world, except for your parents, no one is worthy of you being humble, even the old emperor... is not worthy of you bowing your head."

"But I did say the wrong thing just now..."

"As a leader, you can know your mistakes and correct them, but you cannot admit them." Xie Xuan said seriously, "Think about your father when he was alive. Apart from occasionally reflecting on himself, when did he ever humbly admit his mistakes to others?"

"This……"

"The ways of the world are complicated and it is impossible for anyone to be perfect overnight. You don't have to be impatient, you can learn slowly in the future."

"Second Master Xie is the lord of the Xianwang Mansion. How dare I overstep my authority..." "I am only the temporary lord. I am just a puppet promoted by Qingfeng and his daughter to deceive people. I am not worth a sneer." Xie Xuan waved his hand nonchalantly, and then he became energetic and said righteously, "I have wanted to say this to you for a long time. Xie knows his own limitations. It may be useful to retreat to the second line and make suggestions. But for me to stand at the forefront and control the overall situation... it is like walking on thin ice, shaky and unable to be comprehensive. What's more, I am old, and this world is no longer our world. There are endless rising stars, such as Wu Shuang, Su He, Lu Tingxiang, Qin Ku, Tang Afu... Which one is not brave and resourceful? Which one is not high-spirited? Which one is not ambitious? Which one is not promising? Xunyi, Xianwang Mansion will sooner or later decline if I take the helm. Only by handing it over to you can it flourish."

Having said this, Xie Xuan put his hand on Liu Xunyi's shoulder and said earnestly: "These are not only your father's wishes, but also Xie's lifelong wishes. Now, you should know why I am on guard against Jin Fuyu? You and him may not have personal grudges, but there are irreconcilable conflicts of interest. He has waited so long for the Xianwang Mansion to fall into decline, how could he watch us die and come back to life? His existence is undoubtedly a hindrance to your revival of the Xianwang Mansion. Your rise is also an obstacle to his ambition. To him, your Identity is a deadly threat. Whether you want to be his enemy or not, as long as you are alive, he will not feel at ease. Therefore, even if the Xianwang Mansion is peaceful, he will not let us go. This section is not Xie's alarmist talk. I predict that Master Xiao, Chief Teng and Miss Xunzhen are also well aware of the future situation and have already predicted the outcome of the inevitable battle between us and Jin Fuyu. We are cautious about Jin Fuyu, not to judge others by our own standards, but to prepare for the rainy day to avoid being caught off guard when a disaster strikes. "

"Second Master Xie just said that Jin Fuyu has been expanding his power over the years. On the other hand, when the Xianwang Mansion was alive, it could only compete with Jin Jianwu. Now that its vitality has been severely damaged, how can it..."

"Of course, we can't just rely on the power of the Xianwang Mansion to deal with Jin Fuyu."

As soon as he said this, Xie Xuan suddenly found that Liu Xunyi looked at him with a strange look in his eyes. He was stunned at first, and then he understood. But he saw that his eyes were erratic and his expression was tangled, as if he was hesitant about something.

"Thank you, Master. You are..."

"Xunyi, if you don't ask me something, I don't know how to start. I was planning to find a chance to talk about it in detail after you recover, but since we are already frank today, I might as well tell you what's in my heart."

"Juniors are all ears."

"This morning, Xianwang Mansion and Jueqing Valley have resolved their conflicts with your help. I am very pleased about this." Xie Xuan said in an orderly manner while sorting out his thoughts, "You said that from now on we are a family that shares life and death and weal and woe. I agree with this. In fact, not only Xianwang Mansion, Jueqing Valley and Xiangxi Teng Clan are a family, but also those who have tried their best to help us in this 'Eradication of Traitors Conference' can be regarded as 'a family'."

"Mr. Xie is talking about..."

"Shaolin, Kunlun, Kongtong, these famous sects have always been very self-righteous. The Tang Sect in Shuzhong is a sect of its own, and its relationship with us is ambiguous, so let's not talk about them for now. Xianwang Mansion, Jueqing Valley, and Xiangxi Teng Clan are your direct relatives, so there is no need to say more about their relationship. In addition, the Sanyi Gang, Hexi Qin Clan, Xilu Wuzong... I originally included Longxiang Mountain in it, but what happened today..." At this point, Xie Xuan sighed again, and then his expression changed, and he continued, "Xue Huzi, Ma Rufeng, and Yin Sandao of the Sanyi Gang are sworn brothers with your father, and I have known them for many years. This time at the 'Anti-Traitor Conference', when I asked them After revealing your true identity, they didn't even blink an eyelid and immediately decided to turn against Shui Qingfeng and Ling Xiaoxiao. If such dedicated uncles are not our family, then who are our family? Besides, Qin Ku and you were a pair of brothers in distress in your early years. When I was a thief and had a hard time, he helped you through the difficulties time and time again. With his heroic spirit of "sticking a knife in your brother's ribs", it is not an exaggeration to treat him as your own family. As for Xilu Wuzong, regardless of who owes whom between you and Xunzhen, just look at them for going through fire and water to save you, I believe you will not easily let them down."

"Thank you, Master. Your words are heart-piercing and make me ashamed." Liu Xunyi could not deny it. "You are right. These friends who have shared hardships with me can indeed be called 'family'."

"You can't just say it, and you can't just think about it. Don't you want to give them a decent reputation? Get some tangible benefits for them?"

"What do you mean?" Liu Xunyi was stunned, as if he didn't understand what Xie Xuan meant. "What is an upright status? What are the tangible benefits?"

"Xun Yi, you must now make up your mind to do something that everyone in the world wants to do, but only you can truly accomplish. If you succeed in this, you will be able to bring honor to your family and repay your relatives and friends who have been kind to you. At the same time, you will not be afraid of the remnants of Wudang, Jin Fu Yu, or even the world."

"This..." Liu Xunyi could strongly feel Xie Xuan's excitement and excitement, so his heart trembled and his curiosity grew. "What is this...?"

"With your power, break down the barriers between the sects and families I just mentioned. Break them down and then rebuild them, merge them into one, and realize the great ambition that your father has never been able to realize in his entire life, and create the largest force in the Central Plains martial arts world that has never existed before."
