Chapter 1146: Learning from the Pain
"Yes! Yes!"
Ding Ao's analysis made Dong Xiaoer suddenly realize what was going on. At the same time, she began to feel proud of Lu Tingxiang's humble attitude and teased him, "He is smart. He knows how to show his sincerity to the owner of the dock."
"No!" Jin Fuyu, who had been silent all this time, spoke softly, immediately quieting down Song Yu and the others who were expressing their opinions. "Lu Tingxiang is not smart, but cunning. Ding Ao just said that the reason why Zuo Hongxuan and Miao An did not express their opinions was because they were still hesitating? In fact, it is not the case. If Lu Tingxiang can see the situation clearly, how can Zuo Zongmen and Miao An nun not see it clearly? The reason why they did not rush to show their goodwill to me is because they know how to advance and retreat, and know honor and disgrace. To put it bluntly, it is because their skin... is not as thick as Lu Tingxiang. As for Lu Tingxiang... he chose to show his goodwill to me, not because he yearned for it in his heart, but because Liu Xunyi refused to accept him. If he was like Qin Ku, regarded as a brother by Liu Xunyi, and was like a fish in water in Danfeng Garden, would we see this tearful self-recommendation letter today?"
"This..." Jin Fu Yu's words hit the nail on the head, leaving Song Yu and the other three with mixed feelings, not knowing what to say.
"What a bastard!" Leng Yiyi became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it, and shouted angrily, "How can he surrender? He is clearly seeking refuge! He calls himself the 'first gentleman in the martial arts world', but I think he is the 'first shameless villain in the martial arts world'!"
"That's right!" Seeing that the situation was not going well, Dong Xiao'er quickly put away her smile and echoed, "It's no wonder that the owner of the dock is dissatisfied with him. It's really Lu Tingxiang who is too shameless! He came to us because he failed to curry favor with Liu Xunyi. What does he think of Jinjianwu? A substitute or a reserve? In my opinion, the owner of the dock doesn't need to pay attention to him. He deserves to be left to fend for himself..."
"Cough cough!"
Before Dong Xiaoer finished speaking, Ding Ao, seeing that the situation was not good, coughed twice and cast a mysterious look at her.
"What did I say wrong..."
Seeing Song Yu and Leng Yiyi looking at her with contempt, and Ding Ao blaming her, Dong Xiaoer couldn't help but be startled and muttered in a low voice in anger.
"Confused!"
Seeing Jin Fuyu's face getting uglier, Song Yu and Leng Yiyi both watched coldly. Ding Ao, who was from the same family as Dong Xiaoer, couldn't bear to see her make a fool of herself, so he bravely came to her rescue. "If we ignore Lu Tingxiang's kindness, won't it force him to go back to Liu Xunyi?"
"But you just said that Xie Xuan refused to accept him..."
"How cunning is Xie Xuan? He refuses to accept it now because he doesn't trust Lu Tingxiang. But once the relationship between the owner and Lu Tingxiang breaks down, Xie Xuan will definitely put on another face and try his best to win over Lu Tingxiang." Ding Ao was both angry and helpless at Dong Xiaoer's stupidity.
"Is Dong Xiao'er really confused? Or is he pretending to be confused?" Leng Yiyi asked with a hint of meaning, "Such a clumsy strategy of retreating before advancing, could it be that you have accepted some favor from Lu Tingxiang?"
"Benefits? Lu Tingxiang and I just met by chance, what benefits can I get from him?" Leng Yiyi's sarcasm made Dong Xiaoer quite dissatisfied.
"I've heard that you were nicknamed 'Charming' when you were in the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace. Although Lu Tingxiang's character is not worth mentioning, it is undeniable that he was born with a good appearance. As everyone knows, there is a Sushui Pavilion in Quanzhou that is specially for men to have romantic affairs. The owner behind the scenes is Lu Tingxiang, which shows that he also has similar hobbies..."
"What do you mean? Do you suspect that I am secretly connected with Lu Tingxiang? Leng Yiyi, I already know that you don't like me, but please don't slander me!"
Faced with Leng Yiyi's rather blatant ridicule, Dong Xiaoer's face turned red with anger, and she wished she could immediately draw out her red whip and fight with her.
Fortunately, Song Yu and Ding Ao knew how to judge the situation and stopped Leng Yiyi and Dong Xiaoer from confronting each other, thus preventing the situation from getting worse.
"The owner is here, how can I allow you to be so presumptuous? This is too unruly!"
"Boom!"
"Ugh!"
As if annoyed by the noise, the usually gentle Jin Fuyu threw the teacup in his hand directly on the table, then sighed, and under the terrified gaze of Song Yu and the other three, he asked without raising his head: "What? The external threat has not yet been resolved, and you are so impatient to start an internal conflict?" "Master, calm down, we know we are wrong!"
Under the pressure of Jin Fuyu's intimidating aura, Leng Yiyi and Dong Xiaoer couldn't help but break out in cold sweats and quickly knelt on the ground.
"How hateful! In the past, there was Luo Tianjin, and now there is Liu Xunyi. For more than 20 years, there have always been people standing in front of me and making things difficult for me. I have repeatedly failed and have not been able to enjoy myself. How sad! The people that Jin Jianwu has made friends with... are all opportunists like Lu Tingxiang, who flatter and curry favor with others." Jin Fuyu turned a blind eye to the apologies of the two and sighed to himself, "It's even more ridiculous! You are all my confidants, but you are loyal and loyal, but you are always one step behind. At present, not only do you not know how to unite, but you have created gaps between each other, which is simply ridiculous. Now I am nearly half a century old, and I don't have much future, but I can't even control a small Central Plains martial arts world, so how can I talk about raising an army to restore the country? The so-called grand ambitions... may become a foolish dream, an empty talk."
"Master, please don't underestimate yourself!"
Jin Fu Yu's words were filled with displeasure and sadness, which not only made Leng Yiyi and Dong Xiao'er feel ashamed, but also made Song Yu and Ding Ao extremely guilty. The four of them knelt on both sides of Jin Fu Yu, all of them secretly filled with grief and indignation.
"Liu Xunyi is different from Luo Tianjin and Qingfeng, and he is also different from you, and even different from everyone in the Central Plains martial arts world. His background, his experience, his thoughts, his methods... there are few people like him in the martial arts world. Therefore, you can no longer treat him like other people, you can no longer regard him as an ordinary martial arts hero, and you can no longer regard him as a villain, otherwise you will never be able to defeat him in your life."
Jin Fuyu did not mention the conflict between Dong Xiaoer and Leng Yiyi, nor did he judge whether they were right or wrong. He even ignored Lu Tingxiang, the "trigger" of this storm. It seemed that neither the gap between Dong Xiaoer and Leng Yiyi nor Lu Tingxiang's surrender was important to Jin Fuyu. What really made him obsessed was the ambition to restore the country that he had cultivated for many years, and Liu Xunyi, who suddenly appeared and was becoming more and more powerful.
"What the owner said is very true! Liu Xunyi's life experience and experience have led to the complicated forces behind him..."
"Song Yu, you can still say this today, which shows that you haven't made any progress in the past two years!"
"This……"
Jin Fu Yu rarely criticized someone so bluntly, and even the usually calm Song Yu couldn't help but feel his face getting hot.
"What you need to do now is not to deal with Liu Xunyi, but to get to know him again." Jin Fuyu said lightly, "You have always believed that Liu Xunyi can achieve what he has today because of the many backers behind him? In fact, it is not just you who think so. I guess most people in the martial arts world today think so. You may not be arrogant, but you despise Liu Xunyi from the bottom of your heart. It is precisely because of your contempt that you will lose to him again and again. Among those who have dealt with Liu Xunyi, there are many old foxes who are extremely smart, and there are also real men who look down on the world. Luo Tianjin, Qingfeng, Ren Wuya, Yuwen Xiu, Qin Gang, Yan Wuji, Yun Zhuiyue, Lu Tingxiang... Of course, this also includes me. Even some dignitaries in the Mongolian court and the Song Dynasty court have suffered more or less at the hands of Liu Xunyi. However, those who have been or are enemies of Liu Xunyi either fled to death or gradually declined. On the contrary, Liu Xunyi has repeatedly escaped from death and even emerged as a butterfly. Why is all this?"
"This……"
Having just experienced the experience of Song Yu, no one among Ding Ao and the others dared to answer Jin Fu Yu's question rashly.
"I have been thinking hard for a long time and found that the word 'contempt' is the most important." Jin Fuyu continued, "He used the so-called 'conscience', 'morality', 'feelings' and other illusory things to disguise himself almost perfectly, so that no one is afraid of him, and even when they think of his 'conscience' and 'adherence to morality', they will unconsciously despise and ridicule him. Everyone thinks that they can gain a foothold in this world because they are ruthless, so they look down on Liu Xunyi's soft-heartedness. But the fact is that Liu Xunyi is more ruthless than all those who look down on him, and much more ruthless. More importantly, his ability is worthy of He is ruthless, while most people are just tough in words, and as for their real talents and knowledge... it's simply a joke. Most people dare not make enemies with heretics, but dare to make enemies with famous and upright sects. Why? Because the heretics kill without blinking an eye, and always cut the grass and root out their enemies without mercy. On the other hand, the famous and upright sects will give people a chance to reform and adhere to the so-called "repay evil with kindness". As for Liu Xunyi, has he been soft-hearted towards his enemies more than once? Qin Wei, the "Marquis of Tianji", is the best example. He tried to murder Liu Xunyi many times, but Liu Xunyi could not bear to kill him. Just imagine, if this person was in your hands, he would have died hundreds and thousands of times. "
"What the owner of the dock means is..."
"A traitor appears loyal, a false person appears true, and an evil person appears good. Liu Xunyi is indeed the son of Luo Tianjin. His methods of climbing the ladder are exactly the same as Luo Tianjin's, and he is even better than him." Jin Fuyu said in a concentrated voice, "Liu Xunyi uses the hypocrisy of being loyal and righteous to cover himself up, giving us a reason to underestimate him. He takes everyone by surprise and achieves his goal before anyone can react. In fact, the number of people who have died in his hands over the years is no less than any of you. You might as well recall that Liu Xunyi's kindness and morality are not the same for everyone, but vary from person to person. His great They were all insignificant or threatening villains. As for those opponents who could really kill him without a burial place, Liu Xunyi killed them cleanly and neatly, without sparing any of them. What's more, his killing methods were far more cruel than those of many vicious criminals. Just like... Jian Zhong, whose head he cut off alive in Tanggula Mountain, and Qingfeng, whose chest and abdomen he pierced with the hilt of his sword. Such bloody and cruel killings, how could they be done by a kind person? He killed Qingfeng, who was extremely powerful, but spared Ling Xiaoxiao, who was at the end of his rope. He solved a major problem and left a good name. Isn't that enough to explain the problem?"
"The owner's words enlightened us..."
"If you are an insignificant person, you can just point your finger at Liu Xunyi and yell at him without worrying about his revenge. But if you are a martial arts giant, even if you have not offended Liu Xunyi, you should be careful to see if he will find a high-sounding excuse to kill you."
Having said this, a terrifying light suddenly flashed in Jin Fu Yu's eyes, which made Song Yu and others, who were full of thoughts, feel a chill on their backs for no reason.
"In a nutshell, Liu Xunyi is not as weak as he looks. Quite the contrary, he is more cunning, more ruthless, and more terrifying than Luo Tianjin back then!"
