Following the coordinates, Ye Fan ran to the breakfast shop where Xie Linfuan was eating soup buns.
Xie Linfuan, who was wearing a casual denim jacket and sneakers, looked to be in good spirits.
Seeing that Ye Fan had arrived, Xie Linfuan smiled and waved his hand, then shouted, "Boss, two more steamers of soup dumplings."
Fan Xian sat on the opposite seat, picked up a pair of sterilized chopsticks, and without any hesitation, directly picked one up and took a bite.
"How is it? Does it taste okay?" Xie Linfuan asked in anticipation.
Ye Fan smiled, "Isn't it just soup dumplings? That's the taste."
"Is that so? I think it tastes pretty good." Xie Linfuan muttered, then couldn't help but smile and shake his head, "Maybe my state of mind has changed, and I feel that everything I eat tastes especially good. A few days ago, no matter what delicacies I ate, they were all tasteless."
Fan Xian narrowed his eyes and waited for the boss to bring the two baskets of steamed buns over. As he ate, he asked, "Old Xie …" "What are you thinking? Right now, it's just us two brothers. If you have anything to say, you can just say it."
Xie Linfuan picked up his teacup and took a sip of the light barley tea. He said, "Boss, this matter is actually not that complicated.
You might wonder why I didn't stop those bad practices and didn't contact you in time …
Actually, it's funny now that I think about it. At that time, I just subconsciously felt that I could handle it, that I could make them restrain themselves … I just needed some time. "
"You are too confident. A person's desire will only continue to expand. A thousand miles of embankment will collapse like an ant's nest. The later it is dealt with, the harder it will be to turn back."
Xie Linfuan smiled bitterly and said, "Yeah, I was blindly confident for once. I was clear-headed about this last night …"
After pausing for a moment, Xie Linfuan's eyes revealed a tinge of emotion as he said, "Boss, you know, I am an illegitimate child of the Xie Clan.
No matter how outstanding I was in my studies or how diligent I was in my martial arts practice, my father and the others would not even spare me a glance.
If I don't think of a way to change, I will only live in the shadow of the direct descendants of the Xie Family for the rest of my life. I will always be humiliated and unable to raise my head …
Later on, I wanted to prove myself, so I left China and went overseas to roam. I entered the old rulers and met you …
At first, I thought that since you were a disciple of the Black Emperor, your background must be very noble. However, after hearing about your childhood experiences from others, I began to admire you.
Your childhood was much more miserable than mine. The heavens gave me a bad hand, but what they gave you couldn't even be considered a good hand. There was simply no way to play.
So, to be able to grow up in that almost impossible situation and even become the number one killer of OLD-ONES … Even if you are younger than me, I am still deeply impressed by you … "
"What's there to admire about this? It's just that I'm forced by life. There will always be people who survive. It's just that I'm lucky." Ye Fan drank a mouthful of tea and said.
"Yes, it's all for the sake of survival. But you survived, and others died. This is the difference between you and others. Luck is also a part of strength …"
Xie Linfuan continued, "From then on, we slowly got to know each other and became familiar with each other. We resisted together and searched for freedom. I stood behind you and became your advisor …"
Until the end of the Holy War, when I returned to China, the military valued my experience overseas and made me the strategist of the Dragon Soul …
Boss, you might not have noticed, but ever since I made my debut in OLD-ONES, I have always played the role of an assistant, standing behind all of you. I have never been a commander-in-chief … "leaf
When Fan Xian heard this, he couldn't help but frown and say, "Are you blaming me? When I split up INFERNO and managed it, I handed over Bahamut, Baphomet, and the Sea Demon to the other brothers?
But at that time, you told me that you were planning to return to China, so I didn't … "
"No, no, boss, don't misunderstand. The blacksmith, the sloppy ghost, and the squid are indeed more suitable than me to help you manage them.
They have the temperament of a commander, and my ancient martial arts cultivation is also far inferior to theirs, so I am unable to convince the masses … "
Xie Linfuan smiled embarrassedly, "I just want to say... After forming the swordsman, this is the first time I have truly become a person with great power.
At first, I didn't realize that the impact of this power would actually make me feel like I was flying into the clouds every day … "leaf
Fan Xian saw that there was a trace of excitement in Xie Linfuan's eyes, but there was also a trace of lingering fear.
"Boss, your realm is too high, and your position is too high. To you, worldly power has long since lost its meaning."
You might not be able to understand the feeling of a relatively ordinary ancient martial artist like me suddenly becoming the commander in chief of the swordsman …
The swordsman, the spokesperson of the Sword God, the enforcer, who wouldn't be afraid? Who didn't want to curry favor and compliment him?
My every move, my every word, has been infinitely magnified. I, Old Xie, have instantly changed from a military advisor to an existence that is below one person and above ten thousand people!
Xie Linfuan let out a long breath, his eyes solemn, "Boss …" The stimulation that power can bring to a man is really much more tempting than wine, beauties, and money … "leaf
Fan Xian was silent. When he heard this, he finally understood the cause and effect of the matter …
"I've lost my way. I've started to want to have my own absolute authority, to have more people follow my orders, to have more power and status …"
So, when I sensed that some of the people below had signs of a problem with their style, I began to hesitate. Should I kill them directly? Or should I think of a way to guide them, slowly, carefully …
I'm afraid that if I dig out too many problems, I won't be able to escape the blame, or that the people below will no longer be willing to support me, because they won't have any benefits to gain …
It was laughable. Now that I thought about it, these questions were simply stupid to the extreme! But at that time, my mind was just that muddled … "
Xie Linfuan's eyes revealed an ancient expression as he smiled at Ye Fan and said, "Boss, luckily you woke me up in time. I'm really afraid. If you don't care and deal with it leniently …
Will there ever be a day when I'm really arrogant enough to do something irreversible and no longer be able to be a brother … "leaf
Fan Xian looked at Xie Linfuan with a complicated expression for a while, then grinned, "Save it, do you want to rebel?"
"Haha …" Xie Linfuan couldn't help but laugh. He let out a long sigh and said, "Human heart, human heart …"
My family's old man often said, 'Even if you're a person for a lifetime, you won't be able to learn how to be a person'.
He put down his chopsticks and asked, "What are you going to do next? Do you want me to arrange another job for you that is' below one person and above ten thousand people '?"
"Don't!" "Please don't!" Xie Linfuan chuckled and said, "I am Chu Kuangren, Feng Ge laughs at Confucius …" That kind of position is not suitable for me.
Boss, after eating these delicious soup dumplings, I realized that it's more suitable for me to be your dog-headed advisor behind the scenes and help you raise flowers and birds on Purgatory Island. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep at night and I won't be able to eat. "
"Alright, then you can go wherever you like. Speaking of which, you should find a wife and have a child." Ye Fan smiled and said.
Xie Linfuan clapped his hands, "That's a good suggestion. I've already tasted the taste of 'mountains and rivers'. It's time to taste the taste of 'beauties' …"
After chatting for a while, Xie Linfuan also planned to get up and go abroad to play.
This time, he came to Hua Hai to explain some things clearly and bid farewell to Ye Fan.
Walking to the side of the road outside the shop, before Xie Linfuan left, he said with a deep expression, "After experiencing this incident, I have a deep understanding …"
"Boss, it's lonely at the top …" "You have to take care of yourself. Remember to occasionally turn around and look at your past self …" leaf
Fan Xian's gaze froze for a moment. In his mind, the reflection he saw on the surface of the lake appeared, and he couldn't help but think …
"Boss, I'm going." Xie Linfuan patted Ye Fan's shoulder.
