If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to gain the full trust of the company and the higher-ups, Liu Xiaojiang would have felt that he was being a busybody after learning about the problems with the Tang Sect.
Even the legendary Tang Sect's Pill Devour, which was said to never fail and would definitely die upon seeing it, was not a threat to Liu Xiaojiang at all.
Even if he considered the worst case scenario from a personal point of view, he only felt that something like the Tang Sect's Pill Devour might threaten the people around him.
Moreover, combined with the current philosophy and thoughts of the Tang Sect, the possibility of this happening in the end was not high.
Liu Xiaojiang even thought that even if the Tang Sect continued to pass down the Pill Devour, it would be very difficult for any Tang Sect member who successfully inherited it to use it in the current world, unless the Tang Sect picked up the rice bowl again.
However, in this era of social stability, as long as the people of the Tang Sect were not crazy, how could they kill people like in the past?
However.
In this kind of world where most mutants had to behave themselves, what could the people of the Tang Sect do even if they learned the Pill Devour?
Punishing evil?
Using the Pill Devour to deal with mutants who were like all-rounders?
Not to mention that the Tang Sect did not have the intention to do such a thing, the higher-ups would not admit that the mutants had such 'law enforcement' rights, even if their attitude towards the mutants was still to let them wear each other out.
Letting them wear each other out by following the rules of the martial arts world and letting the circle of mutants develop into a true 'confrontation between good and evil' were two completely different things.
If the Tang Sect chose to use this method in an attempt to rebuild Dan Shi's reputation in the current world, it was likely that it would attract the attention of other players who disliked all aspects of the game. In the circle, there would be a drama of the righteous factions teaming up to destroy the villains.
To this.
The attitude of the company and the higher-ups had always been very clear. They could admit that there were 'good' and 'evil' in the circle of mutants, but they did not want 'good' to work together to completely eliminate 'evil'.
Considering the complete disappearance of Evil and the hidden problems of Righteousness, it would only be a matter of time before Righteousness splits into a new batch of Evil, and it would only be the kind of Evil that was more disciplined and troublesome than the previous Evil.
Since the company and the higher-ups had already decided on the basis of humanitarianism, they would not choose to eliminate the 'inhumans' who were the cause of the problem. Naturally, the way they insisted on became to prioritize social stability and development.
Therefore, under this matter of principle that must be adhered to,
Even if you were an all-rounder in the Inhuman circle, as long as you didn't affect the society of ordinary people, as long as you didn't damage the stability of the social order, the company and the higher-ups would deal with the problem objectively and fairly. They wouldn't treat you differently from other Inhumans just because you were an all-rounder.
On the other hand …
Even if one wasn't a relatively lawless villain, as long as one affected the society of ordinary people and damaged the stability of social order, no matter who one was … the best outcome waiting for one might be 'life imprisonment'!
In today's world, the existence of Inhumans was a mistake, but the higher-ups wouldn't go too far. At the very least, they would leave some space for Inhumans to know their place.
But under such circumstances, if there were still Inhumans who wanted to restore the prosperity of sects, or even show signs of instability in the Inhuman society, the company and the higher-ups would naturally no longer care about who they were and what righteous deeds they had tried to promote.
Right now …
There was no problem with the Tang Sect. The problem was only a portion of the Tang Sect members, their thoughts, and Dan Shi, who could promote their thoughts …
Therefore …
Liu Xiaojiang wanted to gain the full trust of the company and the higher-ups. Since he had the opportunity to help the company and the higher-ups secretly solve the Tang Sect's Dan Shi problem with an identity that had nothing to do with the company and the higher-ups, he naturally had to use the identity of a 'shit-stirrer' to meddle in other people's business.
This time, on the surface, he was meddling in other people's business. But since he had the identity of the Sect Leader, it was reasonable for him to be a shit-stirrer.
After all, wasn't Quan Xing like this? He had always done whatever he wanted and never considered the feelings of others. This group of people had meddled in other people's business in the past … Wasn't it enough?
But …
This time, Liu Xiaojiang didn't expect that the situation where he took the initiative to help the company and the higher-ups solve a big problem in order to gain their full trust in the future would suddenly become an important task that the higher-ups took the initiative to ask him to complete.
Moreover, this matter was troublesome because there was a dispute between the higher-ups and the company.
Without touching Xu Xin and the Tang Sect, he had to make the Tang Sect give up on Dan Shi's legacy …
Although this was very similar to Zhao Fangxu's style of doing things and was also a test that the company and the higher-ups tried their best to fight for, but … Were the higher-ups really willing to see this matter succeed?
Since they had changed their previous gentle attitude and intended to deal with Inhuman affairs in a more radical way, this sudden change in attitude … Did it really happen 'suddenly'?
This time, even if the company passed the test and he, Wang Zhenqiu, Zhang Chulan, and the others completed the task and successfully made the Tang Sect give up on Dan Shi's legacy without touching Xu Xin and the Tang Sect, would the higher-ups give up on the idea because the company had the ability to do so?
Tsk …
Liu Xiaojiang thought about it and felt that something was wrong. If the higher-ups didn't 'suddenly' change in attitude, naturally, they wouldn't give up on their long-held idea just because of one or two failures.
If the higher-ups really changed their attitude 'suddenly' and gave up on the radical idea because the company proved its ability, then … What was the reason for the higher-ups to suddenly do this?
Could it be that someone reached out to …
…
At this thought, Liu Xiaojiang considered that he had waited for another two days, but there was still no call from Zhao Fangxu. He couldn't help but walk from the window to the bed in the room and sit down. He took out the phone that was tucked in the lining of his robe.
A moment later.
"… Xiao Jiang?" After the call went through, Zhao Fangxu's voice sounded a little tired.
"Chairman Zhao, I'm currently at the Tang Sect." Liu Xiaojiang thought that Zhao Fangxu might not know that he was at the Tang Sect, so he directly told him where he was.
As expected.
After hearing this sentence, Zhao Fangxu was obviously surprised. He was silent for a moment, and then said:
"You were also involved in the matter of Quan Xing trespassing into the Tang Sect?"
"You can say that." Liu Xiaojiang didn't deny it. He then briefly explained why he came to the Tang Sect, and emphasized the problem of Dan Shi and Tang Miaoxing's idea.
"… That's what happened. I originally planned to use a slightly more radical method to completely solve the Tang Sect's idea of Dan Shi. In the end, that bastard from the Southwest took the initiative to find me and said that he wanted to cooperate with me to complete the company's test."
After that, he explained the attitude he showed in Tangzhong. He believed that Wang Zhenqiu might have found out that his purpose was the same as the company's, so he had to find him due to the complexity and difficulty of the mission. Then he said,
Then he said: "Chairman Zhao, if you don't touch Xu Xin or the Tang Sect, and you want the Tang Sect to voluntarily give up the inheritance of Dan Shi, if it's just that bastard and Chu Lan … can this be considered a test?"
Zhao Fangxu obviously didn't know that he was at the Tang Sect. This meant that when the company was asked to prove their ability, they didn't think that Quan Xing's people would be able to help the company. More importantly … those people also didn't know that he was at the Tang Sect.
Under such circumstances, it was obviously unrealistic for the company to reorganize people to help Wang Zhenqiu, Zhang Chulan, and the others, or even to ask more people to peacefully solve the problem of Dan Shi.
This undoubtedly showed that when the company was asked to pass the test, they didn't have the intention to let the company pass this test.
"… That kid is kind-hearted." After Zhao Fangxu learned the truth, he obviously didn't care that Wang Zhenqiu was colluding with Quan Xing.
"But I didn't expect you to be here too. Wang Zhenqiu's plan … can be considered a special method under special circumstances."
"Apart from that …"
"Kid, do you have any other way to let the company pass this test that can't be considered a test?"
"The choice has always been in the hands of the Tang Sect. But considering that Tang Miaoxing just died, and the attitude he showed in front of the other Tang Sect disciples before his death …" Liu Xiaojiang thought for a while and said:
"If we don't use any means to make the Tang Sect give up Dan Shi, it'll be difficult … almost impossible."
"…" Zhao Fangxu was silent for a moment again. Finally, he said in a tired voice: "How feasible … is Wang Zhenqiu's plan?"
"It can be done." Liu Xiaojiang couldn't help but frown, but he still answered truthfully:
"Whether this matter is overboard or not is another matter, but if the company really does it this time … it'll be unfair to the Tang Sect."
"Chairman Zhao, don't forget that even though everyone paid a hefty price back then, the Tang Sect … paid an even heftier price."
"To be honest …"
"Now, I even wonder if the Tang Sect would have ended up in this state today if they had adopted the attitude of 'the less trouble the better' back then …"
"In terms of the so-called righteousness, I can attack the Tang Sect without hesitation, but in terms of conscience … it's hard to justify it."
At this point, he got up again and walked to the window in the room. He looked at the Tang Sect disciples who were cultivating with Tu Junfang and Ding Chang 'an outside and said:
"Killing Xu Xin and destroying Dan Shi, I can take responsibility for these crimes …"
"Xu Xin was a person who should have died long ago. If I came to destroy the legacy of Dan Shi, the Tang Sect wouldn't suffer too much of a blow. After all, no one in the Tang Sect has used Dan Shi all these years, so they can still survive in this world …"
"But in order to achieve your goal, you secretly played tricks and even controlled the thoughts of others, making them your subordinates' tools, especially the current sect leader of the Tang Sect … I'm afraid this will indirectly destroy the future of the Tang Sect."
"Chairman Zhao, how can I lie to myself with a clear conscience? You're pushing me into the dark abyss. You … Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to come back up?"
"My conscience can't be at ease …"
