Outside the old campus dormitory:
"Mr. Ying, I'm done with my questions. You... you two can continue. I won't disturb you any longer."
Liu Xiaojiang saw Zhang Chulan walking back into the dormitory with a forced smile. He then turned to look at the skinny old man, who was still standing in the same spot, only to find that the old man was sizing him up again.
Then, he looked in the direction Zhang Chulan had left, and the dormitory door was shut again. Then, he slowly walked up to Xu Xin.
"Xu Xin... No, I should call you Tang Xin now, Sect Leader Tang. Just now, when I destroyed the listening device on you, I was reminding Lord Zhang of the Tang Sect, or anyone else in the Tang Sect, not to disturb my secret conversation with you."
"Also..."
"If they didn't realize that, then during the few minutes you were talking to Zhang Chulan, those who should or shouldn't have come should have had enough time to come here."
"Now it seems..." Liu Xiaojiang looked around and said, "Whether it was someone who asked for instructions, or the person behind the listening device, they were worried about your Lord Zhang. In short... they should have understood what I meant."
"Sect Leader Tang, no one else will know about our conversation today except for you and me. So, no matter what you want to say, you can say it boldly. No one will care if your words are worthy of the Tang Sect's kindness in the past."
"You are Tang Xin, the Sect Leader of the Tang Sect. I am Yinggou, the Sect Leader of the All-Encompassing Sect. Our current identities and positions... are just that."
"Haha... Fine, just that." After listening to Liu Xiaojiang's words, Xu Xin suddenly opened his squinted eyes and said with a smile with a wrinkled face,
"What else could you be here for? Isn't it because of my Tang Sect's Dan Hou? Didn't you come here to... kill me?"
"Things shouldn't have developed to this point." Liu Xiaojiang didn't deny Xu Xin's point of view, but slowly said,
Instead, he said slowly, "If Sect Leader Miao Xing didn't insist on inheriting the Tang Sect's Dan Hou and didn't ask you to take over his position, the situation wouldn't be as serious as it is now. At least, the possibility of resolving the conflict peacefully... would be greater."
"Then why haven't you made your move yet?" Xu Xin looked at Liu Xiaojiang, who didn't deny that he wanted to kill him, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled by his complaint.
"There's no rush." Liu Xiaojiang looked up at the position of the moon, then sat cross-legged on the ground. He rested his elbows on his thighs, then bent over and supported his chin with his hand. He looked up at Xu Xin and said, "Xu Xin.
"Although it's somewhat disrespectful to say this, you don't look like someone who can't accept the truth."
"If I wanted to solve the problem by killing right from the start, I could have done this seemingly difficult thing at any time. Even if I didn't have the chance to meet you alone, even if you had the protection of other Tang Sect disciples, the final result … wouldn't have changed much."
"After all, apart from the Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, no one can make me feel threatened …"
Hearing this,
Although Xu Xin subconsciously thought that Liu Xiaojiang was boasting, when he considered the other party's superb skills that could even break the Devour Pill, he gradually believed these words that sounded like nonsense.
Then, he looked at Liu Xiaojiang, who was sitting on the ground and didn't intend to make a move. He also slowly sat cross-legged on the ground, not caring that it was dirty at all.
"Boy, other than the rootless beings, you're the first person who makes me feel so strange. No … If we're talking about strangeness, you look much stranger than the rootless beings."
"But what's even more surprising is that you're clearly the leader of an all-rounded sect, and you even have enough power to make people fear you, but you've embarked on a path that's completely different from most people …"
After saying that, the old man raised his head and looked at Liu Xiaojiang, who was still wearing a mask, with an extremely strong sense of doubt and curiosity in his eyes.
"I can't understand the path of the rootless beings either, but at least I can see that when he's on the path, at least he won't feel confused or hesitant about anything, even if it's to help the evildoers … This should be the result of the choice he has made long ago."
"But now I can see that you're completely different from him. Even if the path you've chosen can be recognized and respected by everyone, it looks so 'normal and absolute' that it wraps you up like a saint …"
"The feeling you give me now is that you still don't know what to do. You want to protect the righteousness and stability of the world, but you also want to protect those who have done wrong … Do you really think you're a saint? Aren't you tired? "
"The righteousness and stability of the world are the prerequisites for people's survival …" Liu Xiaojiang replied calmly.
"If it's someone who has done something irreparable, there will naturally be a set of reasonable rules to restrain and punish them. In the eyes of ordinary people, there's no need to argue about these two things at all."
"But the problem lies in the fact that although the Inhumans think the same as ordinary people, they will always think highly of themselves because of their power, and look down on ordinary people who don't even have the strength to truss a chicken."
"At this time, considering the attitude of the higher-ups, as well as the fact that they want the Inhumans to wear each other out and relax the control, the gap between the Inhumans and ordinary people will gradually widen …"
"I don't want to judge the actions of the leader of the Wonderful Prosperity Sect anymore, but for a Inhuman like him who values his own sect more than anything else, it really doesn't conform to the way of the world that's dominated by ordinary people … This is also a fact."
"As for me …"
Liu Xiaojiang raised his head and looked directly at Xu Xin opposite him, saying, "I've already said many times that I've never thought of myself as a saint …"
"Everything I've done, including the idea of wanting to kill you because of the Devouring Pill, is just to satisfy a certain need of mine …"
"This need can be material or purely psychological. It's precisely because it's beneficial to me that I'll do it no matter what …"
"I … can probably be considered a good, selfish person."
"… A good, selfish person." Xu Xin couldn't help but repeat this extremely nonsensical sentence, and then he couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha … You're really something! You're the best! "
"So, the main reason is because of personal reasons, plus the righteousness of the world, the problem of the Devouring Pill must be solved …" Liu Xiaojiang said.
"Apart from that, I will also eliminate all the techniques of the schools that are similar to the Dan Devouring Technique, or even the Eight Unique Techniques of Jia Shen, one by one …"
"And …"
"Master Tang, I was very serious when I spoke just now. Please don't laugh anymore …"
"Hahahahaha …"
"…"
