Inside Xuanfu's main palace hall, Xiang Chun and Xu Ying were currently speaking with a young scholar in his thirties. However, the atmosphere in the hall was rather solemn.
The young scholar solemnly said, "I believe the two mystic teachers are also aware that the Army of God lost quite a few people during the Scholar Conference this time. Therefore, they are using training as an excuse to withdraw all their manpower. This is to embarrass the Commissar. However, since the Army of God has been relinquished, then Xuanfu must think of a way to protect them. We cannot allow them to have another excuse to take them back."
Xu Ying said, "Yamen Guo, recently, our Xuanfu has sent out nearly all the manpower we can use. However, the Army of God has left quite a large gap, so we can't take care of everything for the time being."
Yamen Guo looked at him, then at Xiang Chun, and said solemnly, "The two mystic teachers are doing this to protect the interests of the protectorate's citizens. This is undoubtedly correct, but we cannot account for it to the Commissar. Forgive this Guo for saying too much, but what Xuanfu needs to do right now is not to take care of everything. Instead, we need to focus on the main points and achieve an outstanding achievement. This is more useful than doing a hundred things at once. "
When Xu Ying heard this, he sneered and said, "Does our Xuanfu do things for the sake of achievements? Right now, the lives of the protectorate's citizens are under threat. Don't tell me that we should care about the opinions of some people in the Commissar instead of protecting them? What a joke! "
Yamen Guo solemnly said, "I know this matter is making things difficult for Xuanfu, but the situation dictates that this is not sixty years ago. Xuanfu must have something that can be explained to the Commissar. Only then can the Commissar believe that the mystic teachers are doing a better job than the Army of God and can better safeguard the protectorate's stability. If the Commissar no longer trusts you, then I don't need to say who they will favor in the next Scholar Conference. Both of you should know without me saying who they will favor in the next Scholar Conference."
Xu Ying was not convinced. He wanted to say something, but Xiang Chun reached out and held him down, shaking his head at him.
Guo Yajun looked up at the two of them and said sincerely, "Mystic Masters, this Guo also knows that my status is not enough to order the Xuanfu around. However, although the Army of God has been arrogant and domineering in the past, they have also stopped many strange gods and monsters. These achievements cannot be faked, so the entire Protectorate General tolerates them."
At this time, Xiang Chun said slowly, "But they want too many things, and there are more and more places to reach."
Guo Yajun glanced at him and nodded his head. It was obvious that Xiang Chun understood what he meant. He knew that there was no need for him to continue speaking, so he stood up and said, "The two of you, this is a rare opportunity. I hope that the Profound Palace will be able to grasp it. This way, the people who have been supporting the Profound Palace for a long time will have even more confidence." He cupped his hands and said, "I've disturbed the two of you today.
Xiang Chun said, "Junior Brother Xu, please send Yamen Guo off for me."
"There's no need. Please wait a moment. "
Guo Yajun politely thanked the two of them for sending him off and walked out of the main hall. His servant had been waiting at the bottom of the stone steps. When he saw his figure, he came up to him and said, "Yajun, did everything go well?"
Guo Yajun looked at the magnificent hall in front of him and said, "Let's wait and see."
The servant did not ask anything else and said, "Yamen, I heard that Gentleman Zhang is in Xuanfu right now. Do you want to meet him?"
Guo Yajun thought for a while and said, "There's no need. Xuanfu has many things to do now. There's no need to trouble them. There will be opportunities in the future."
In the Hall of Affairs, Xu Ying angrily paced back and forth. He saw Xiang Chun sitting there thinking and said, "Senior Brother, what are you thinking about? Are you going to do as Guo Shang said?"
Xiang Chun said, "Junior Brother, don't be impatient. I feel that Guo Yanjun's words are somewhat reasonable. In the current situation, this is not a bad choice."
Xu Ying looked at him in disbelief and said, "Senior Brother, if Xuanfu is controlled by the Protectorate, is it still Xuanfu?" He said angrily, "If that's the case, will we have to obey any orders from the Protectorate in the future?"
Xiang Chun waved his hand at him and said, "Don't be anxious. The matter is not as serious as you think. I know what the Protectorate is thinking. We just misjudged the situation before. I didn't expect the Army of God to retreat so completely this time..."
After all, in the past 60 years, Xuanfu's authority had been invaded by the Army of God. Before this meeting, they could only maintain the stability around Auspicious Light City. Now that the Army of God had retreated, they needed to contribute everywhere. So they could not cope.
After a pause, he said, "But this is also a good thing. If our Xuanfu can't fill it, then we can take a step back and let the other families fill the hole together. Once the new structure is formed," he smiled, "it won't be so easy for the Army of God to come back."
Xu Ying was particularly emotional. He said, "I will definitely not retreat..." He suddenly paused and looked at Xiang Chun. "Senior Brother, you mean..."
Xiang Chun glanced at him and said, "You're willing to listen to me?"
Xu Ying took a deep breath and sat down. "Senior Brother, I'm listening."
Xiang Chun stroked his beard and said, "I've thought about it. In fact, some local matters can be handled by the Criminal and Justice Department because they can deal with the ordinary monsters and heretics. As for the islands on the sea, the Security Patrol is also enough to deal with them. We just need to provide some support when necessary. This way, we can gather our originally scattered manpower, reducing the casualties and making it easier to control them. It's best if we can kill one or two native EsGods that are causing trouble. This way, not only will we be able to stabilize the hearts of the people, but the threat that our Tianxia citizens have to face will also be greatly reduced. "
Xu Ying looked at him and said, "Senior Brother, did you already have this plan long ago?"
Xiang Chun said, "I've discussed it with Senior Brother Fan and Junior Brother Wang before, but it hasn't been decided yet."
Xu Ying said, "That's good too." His expression changed. "That's right, we can use this opportunity to push Bai Qingqing and Zhang Yu to the front."
Xiang Chun said, "We can give them a chance, but they don't have much fighting ability now. If there's a safer target, we can find someone reliable to lead them and let them get used to it. Only then will they be able to contribute to Xuanfu in the future."
Xu Ying stood up and said, "I'll arrange this matter. Senior Brother, you don't have to worry about it."
Solemnly, Xiang Chun reminded him, "You have to be careful, especially Zhang Yu. He might be able to help us find that thing, but we can't let him get hurt yet."
Xu Ying said, "Senior Brother, don't worry. Before Martial Nephew Ji succeeds, I'm more concerned about these two people than you are."
At this moment, Zhang Yu had already walked out of the side hall. On his way back, he saw a group of Xuanxiu dressed in Daoist robes hurrying out of Xuanfu. He couldn't help but think of Fan Lan's words. It was very likely that Xuanfu would send him out to deal with all kinds of trouble and enemies at some point in the future.
Although Xuanfu had said that if a disciple was unwilling to do something, then they wouldn't force them to do anything, he also understood that if you refused, then you naturally wouldn't be able to receive Xuanfu's teachings in the future.
From the looks of it, this matter was unavoidable. He thought of the Army of God outside, who was eyeing him covetously. Although it was unlikely that Xuanfu would send him to his death, and there would definitely be someone to protect him, relying on others to protect him was always better than relying on his own strength.
He thought, "It seems that in the next period of time, I'll have to work harder on my fighting ability. If I can find the Seal of the Light of the Heart, that would be best."
He looked at a wooden box on the stage. These were the three seals that Fan Lan had once again given them in the hall.
After thinking for a moment, he reached out and opened the wooden box. He called out the Great Way in his mind, and then stuck the jade slip between his eyebrows, allowing that thought to enter.
This time, the three new seals that appeared were derived from the "Eye, Nose, Ear" seals. Together with the previous four seals, they formed a ring outside of the Six Righteous Seals.
Unfortunately, these three seals also needed to be read according to a certain method, and he didn't have enough Divine Essence right now.
At this moment, he couldn't help but start to ponder. What exactly did these seals have to do with the Light of the Heart?
Xuanfu didn't give an explanation. Actually, when he thought about it carefully, this was very normal. The new method abandoned the old method of comprehending and comprehending the method. All of the principles were in the Great Way and each seal of the Great Way.
Therefore, Xuanfu didn't need to tell you the specifics. As long as you grasped the seals, then you would naturally understand.
However, in this way, when a cultivator wanted to take the initiative to search for a certain seal or principle, they would be at a loss.
He thought for a moment. The new method was ultimately not the old method. After all, he had only been in contact with the Great Way for a short period of time, and there were many hidden secrets that he still didn't know. Presumably, he would only be able to see them as he read deeper.
Right now, trying to find more Divine Essence was the direction he should work towards.
