Qiu Yuan's Story
City Lord Qiu personally brewed a pot of fragrant tea and poured a cup for the white-robed man.
"Please enjoy."
"Sorry to trouble you, City Lord Qiu."
The white-robed man accepted the cup with a smile. The city lord's mansion was in a mess. As far as the eye could see, traces of fighting could be seen everywhere.
"Looks like it was a very intense fight."
"What's so intense about it? It was just a one-sided beating." Qiu Yuan took a piece of tea from the table and put it in his mouth. "Those bastards actually crushed my most beloved remote control plane. They even found a lot of helpers in the middle, but I knocked them all down. "
Qiu Yuan's expression gradually became excited as he spoke. He pointed at the old locust tree in the courtyard.
"See that old locust tree? It was knocked down by those bastards from the Demon Realm. To be honest, I don't understand why we had to run. They didn't seem strong, so we should have just fought them! "
Slap.
City Lord Qiu, who was beside him, smacked his head. Qiu Yuan asked in confusion.
"Why did you hit me again? Wasn't what I said the truth? Just now, did I put down a group of devils by myself? "
"You still have the cheek to say that?"
The old city lord trembled in anger.
"If it wasn't for your trash, we would have gone to Mister's dimensional space long ago. You're lucky we didn't ruin Mister's plan. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to redeem yourself even if you died a hundred times. "
"What trash? Those are my treasures."
Qiu Yuan wasn't too happy to say that those treasures were trash.
"City Lord Qiu, please don't blame Qiu Yuan." The white-robed man pursed his lips and smiled. Then, he looked at Qiu Yuan and said, "Perhaps to you, the Demon Realm's soldiers are very weak. However, to the commoners in your city or the villages outside your city, they are existences that they must look up to. Letting the people inside and outside the city evacuate is to protect them. What's more, Qiu Yuan, ask yourself honestly. If it wasn't for them crushing your treasure, would you even care about them? I don't think so. "
The white-robed man's tone was very calm. Qiu Yuan hesitated for a while, but didn't say anything to defend himself.
Indeed, after experiencing Senior Duan's wisdom imbuement. His strength had undergone a qualitative leap, and he could even look down upon the entire Three Realms.
However, his nature was not aggressive. For example, when the people of the Devil Realm entered the city …
His keen senses had detected them the moment they stepped through the city gate, but he had no desire to fight them.
He just wanted to keep the treasure and run away with his father.
His enmity towards the Devil World was not because he had lofty sentiments and wanted to protect his country. It was just that they had broken his treasure.
This kind of anger came and went quickly.
Perhaps, after a few more hours, he would no longer want to pay attention to the people of the Devil World.
The white-robed man had long since grasped his temperament very well. Ye Zichen gave Ye Zichen a meaningful glance, causing him to stand up from his chair.
"Let's go out and talk."
With that, Ye Zichen walked towards the door. Qiu Yuan hesitated for a moment, before following behind him.
"Sir, do you think Sect Master Ye can succeed?"
City Lord Qiu had lived for a long time, and he was very experienced. There was no way he wouldn't know what Ye Zichen wanted to do by calling Qiu Yuan out.
Not only did he not object to Qiu Yuan's participation in the battle, he actually approved of it wholeheartedly.
From City Lord Qiu's point of view, protecting the country was his duty. Since Qiu Yuan had the strength to change the situation, then he naturally had to help.
"Old City Lord Qiu, don't tell me you don't know your son?"
The white-robed man smiled at Ye Zichen and Qiu Yuan.
"Yes, I will. I will convince him."
…
"I haven't had the chance to congratulate you for inheriting Senior Duan's inheritance and breaking through to the Immortal King level," Ye Zichen pursed his lips with a smile.
Qiu Yuan smiled as well, then smiled wryly, "What's there to congratulate me about?
"What's there to congratulate? Strength represents responsibility. I'd rather be like before, with a weak spiritual body cultivation. That way, no matter what happens, I can always be the person who enjoys the shade. If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. But now … I've become the taller one. "
With a faint sigh, Qiu Yuan took a few steps forward and sat on a piece of rock. He looked up at the full moon in the sky.
"I know why Brother Ye asked me to come out. You want me to help, right?"
Ye Zichen nodded noncommittally.
"I do want you to contribute, but it's not absolute. I can't use righteous reasons to force you to participate in this. To be honest, I'm quite close to the white-robed man. Although he always appears to be very relaxed, I've secretly noticed that he often sighs. It's obvious that the Devil Realm's actions this time have made him quite distressed. "
"That's only natural. The Demon World has millions of soldiers bearing down on us. The ones that came are all elites. Even if the Three Realms work together to deal with it, they might not end up well. "
Qiu Yuan let out a soft sigh.
"Although I'm an Immortal King, I'm still only at the first stage. On the surface, the Devil Realm only has one Immortal King level Black Dragon. But since they were able to live under the noses of the Three Realms for so long, is there really only one Immortal King? "
"Qiu Yuan, you're making me look at you in a different light," Ye Zichen shook his head with a smile.
Ye Zichen shook his head with a smile. He had originally thought that Qiu Yuan was just a little spoiled brat, but his words had changed his mind.
"Ha, do you know why my father has such high hopes for me? Back when my older brother was still around, I always looked up to him as a role model. I've memorized the art of war and formations since I was young. I trained my body at the age of four, then spiritual guidance at the age of six. It could be said that my talent back then was comparable to Ruan Qingtian's. "
"Then …"
"Back then, there was a war, and my older brother was fighting outside. I wanted to quickly succeed in my cultivation, then follow my older brother out and share his burden, until one day … Only my father returned. I asked him where my older brother was, and he said that my older brother would be back after a while. I worked even harder so that my older brother could see how amazing I was when he returned. However, I heard the servants talking about how my older brother died in battle. "
With that, Qiu Yuan's eyes started to tear up, while his tone gradually turned solemn.
"I didn't ask my father about it after I heard it. However, from that day onwards, I started to hate war. I started to hate everything that could cause war. The art of war, formations, and cultivation. I hate them all. "
"I don't want to be like my older brother, who died on the battlefield and never got his corpse back. My father did not shed a single tear, and the soldiers gradually forgot about him. However, they all forgot that it was my older brother who used his life to bring them back from the battlefield alive. Marry a wife, have children, and get promoted! "
