"Celestial Master?!"
Zhao Fangxu thought that there was something wrong with Liu Xiaojiang's ridiculous words. And now, he realized that the elderly man beside him wasn't surprised at all, as though he had already expected this unbelievable situation. Zhao Fangxu couldn't help but ask nervously.
"Celestial Master, what exactly … are you two hiding?!"
However …
After the old Celestial Master opened his mouth to ask, he found that the two of them were silently looking at each other. Neither of them answered his question, and neither of them understood the inexplicable fear in his heart due to the unknown.
After all, considering the current situation, Liu Xiaojiang's personal feelings, and Celestial Master's attitude toward this matter, there was no doubt that Liu Xiaojiang wasn't lying!
Liu Xiaojiang isn't a human …
After Zhao Fangxu understood the nature of Liu Xiaojiang's existence, apart from the fear that the world might change because of this, he quickly figured out the mystery of Liu Xiaojiang's existence.
The Beheaded Zombie incident at Lianmen Port …
The Sun Group's rare uncooperative behavior …
Sun Lan Lan's silent attention to Liu Xiaojiang from a private perspective after the Sun Family's ambush incident ended …
…
And now …
Liu Xiaojiang wasn't a so-called saint, but he took the initiative to propose a risky plan. He wanted to help the company and the higher-ups by eliminating the potential threat to social order from the root …
It turned out that!
All of this was because he wasn't an ordinary human, but he desperately hoped to gain the trust of the company and the higher-ups. So that … he could live a peaceful life in this world like a normal person?!
In the end …
Liu Xiaojiang was the biggest and most dangerous unstable factor. He clearly had a great chance to live a peaceful life, but he was actively pushed to the opposite side by the company and the higher-ups. As a result, he completely lost his patience with the company and the higher-ups … and even humans!
Oh no!
This outcome couldn't be any worse!
"Senior Brother …" Tian's thoughts weren't as complicated as Zhao Fangxu's. As long as Liu Xiaojiang didn't violate the law, he would have 100% trust in his only disciple.
However, after hearing Liu Xiaojiang's words, although the old man chose to believe him without hesitation, he couldn't help but turn to his Senior Brother.
"Xiao Jiang only said this now. Could it be that you already knew about it …"
Upon hearing his words …
Although the old celestial master had been watching Liu Xiaojiang, he still couldn't treat the junior fellow apprentice who was also present as an outsider like Zhao Fangxu.
He gazed calmly at Tian and nodded under Liu Xiaojiang's gaze.
"Tian, do you remember when we were on the mountain, Xiao Jiang had a problem with his cultivation and was unconscious for several days …"
"You asked me to personally check on Xiao Jiang's situation. It was then that I … confirmed that this kid was actually not an ordinary person."
"In that case …" Tian naturally wouldn't forget anything about Liu Xiaojiang. Moreover, when Liu Xiaojiang was still cultivating on Mount Longhu, it could be considered an unforgettable memory for the old man in recent years.
But it was also because of this.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" Tian was obviously accusing Celestial Master of hiding this matter.
"… Tian, calm down. Things haven't reached the point of no return yet, right?" Celestial Master certainly understood his Junior Brother Tian Jinzhong. He also knew why Tian Jinzhong would accuse him of hiding this matter.
"So what if I told you back then? At most, I would have kept him on the mountain for a few more years. After all, he has his own things to do … Sooner or later, he will choose to leave the mountain. I don't want him to be unhappy with you and me when he chooses to leave the mountain in the future."
"Xiao Jiang's existence is an anomaly in everyone's eyes. Therefore, we have to guard against the situation of 'those who are not of our race must have a different heart'. As for his constitution … the fewer people who know about it, the better."
"Besides, Tian, you've had a hard time these years. I don't want to tell you the secret of Xiao Jiang's body …"
"… You know that the secular world will never accept an anomaly. Why did you let Xiao Jiang choose to leave the mountain?" Tian couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. He seemed to be regretting that he was useless and didn't discover the secret hidden in Liu Xiaojiang's body earlier.
"…" Celestial Master didn't answer Tian's question again. Instead, he turned to look at Liu Xiaojiang, who had been silent all this time.
"Little Jiang, since things have developed to this point, and you've even revealed the secrets that you've been hiding, have the reins that once tied you down and forced you to move forward with great difficulty … Has it been broken?"
"I can't move anymore …" Liu Xiaojiang glanced at Zhao Fangxu, who had a complicated expression on his face. Then, he calmly shook his head at Celestial Master and said, "So …"
"Your disciple intends to break the reins behind me and give up the path that seems gentle but will only bring harm to myself. The other path may seem more dangerous … but it may not be impossible for your disciple to stand at the end of the path."
"What is the end that you're pursuing?" Celestial Master thought for a while and asked again.
"You know …" Liu Xiaojiang didn't answer directly. Instead, he smiled at the two old men of Mount Longhu and said,
"Master, Senior Uncle … No matter which path I choose in the future, no matter how the outside world describes me as an anomaly, it won't change the fact that I was once the successor of the Righteous Celestial Sect."
"Master's kindness is vast …"
"Since I've promised the two of you, at least I won't become a person full of evil in everyone's eyes, then the end of my path … naturally won't be easily changed."
"Xiao Jiang, listen to Master's advice …" Tian looked at Liu Xiaojiang, who was smiling in the room, and then thought of the recent actions of the company and the higher-ups. He couldn't help but say,
"You should go back with us, kid …"
"No matter what the company and the higher-ups did, and how they failed to live up to your expectations, at least on Mount Longhu … you can still live freely."
At this point …
Tian couldn't help but look at Zhao Fangxu in the room. Then, he said in a threatening tone:
"If that Su Cheng from the company is still unwilling to let go of Xiao Jiang, I don't dare to say anything about the others in the Righteous Celestial Sect, but at least I, this useless old man, will definitely not make things difficult for you, this disciple who only wants a stable life …"
"…" Zhao Fangxu.
"Tian, don't make things difficult for Chairman Zhao. You should understand that Chairman Zhao is already in a difficult position." Celestial Master saw this and spoke to smooth things over.
"Everything that's happened recently seems to be Su Cheng's idea. It's just that he just happened to take over Chairman Zhao's position. He's the one with the most power. He alone … can't represent everyone in the world."
At this point …
The old man looked at Zhao Fangxu with a smile. "Chairman Zhao, don't you think so?"
"… Of, of course." Zhao Fangxu could only force a smile on his face. He nodded along with Celestial Master's words and said:
"Su Cheng definitely can't represent everyone. He can't even represent the people in the company. Everything is just the personal will of a guy like him …"
At this moment, facing Liu Xiaojiang, who was about to break off relations with the company and the higher-ups, even if he didn't consider the thoughts of the Righteous Celestial Sect towards Liu Xiaojiang as a disciple, just considering the powerful personal strength that Liu Xiaojiang had displayed so far, he didn't want to see a situation where the fish died and the net broke.
After all, Liu Xiaojiang was able to solve the mutant forces of Japan and America in a short period of time by himself. He was even able to fundamentally attack the mutant forces of other countries. The power that Liu Xiaojiang possessed was simply beyond Zhao Fangxu's imagination …
How could this kind of guy be dealt with quietly?
The only old man in the mutant circle who seemed to have the strength to deal with the troublesome Liu Xiaojiang might be a top expert, but now, he could be considered as one of Liu Xiaojiang's own people …
It wasn't that the people of Tenshi Province didn't know the cause of everything, and it wasn't that they didn't understand the decision of the company and the higher-ups. They even witnessed the company and the higher-ups burning the bridge after crossing the river. In this case, based on the fact that Liu Xiaojiang wasn't a human, it was already good enough that they didn't cause trouble for the company!
How could he convince Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei to put justice before family just based on the fact that Liu Xiaojiang wasn't a human when the company and the higher-ups were in the wrong?!
Besides …
Even if he could really convince Zhang Zhiwei to deal with Liu Xiaojiang on the basis of righteousness, it would definitely be under the condition that Liu Xiaojiang was indeed a disaster to the world!
Right now …
Liu Xiaojiang only wanted to break off relations with the company and the higher-ups. He only wanted to kill Su Cheng, the person in charge of the company, just to take revenge for the injustice he suffered. This kind of thing … could it be considered as a disaster to the world?
Su Cheng and Qu Tong's lives …
Wasn't everything today caused by the two of them?
Wasn't Liu Xiaojiang taking the initiative to eliminate the scourge of the world?!
The more Zhao Fangxu thought about it, the more he felt that he was completely unreasonable. There was no reason to convince Zhang Zhiwei to deal with Liu Xiaojiang, so he once again pinned his hopes on Liu Xiaojiang.
"Xiao Jiang, no matter what you are, as long as you look at it from a normal and objective point of view, it wouldn't be hard to understand even if you killed Su Cheng. But after all, you are a temporary member of the company, and Su Cheng is currently the person in charge of the company …"
"From today onwards, not anymore." Liu Xiaojiang still didn't give Zhao Fangxu any face and directly interrupted him.
"The temporary member of the company's Northeast Region is Liu Xiaojiang, and I am the leader of the terrorist organization, Ying Gou. There is no meaningful connection between the two of us. This is a decision made by Su Cheng and all of you …"
"Are you going to lead the entire company against the company?!" Zhao Fangxu couldn't help but remind him.
"Xiao Jiang, no matter what Su Cheng did, it can't really erase the facts that everyone knows. You are the temporary member of the company's Northeast Region, Liu Xiaojiang himself. Ying Gou … is just a name born in our plan."
"I don't know what you promised Celestial Master and Tian, and I don't know what the end goal you are pursuing is, but thinking about everything you have done for the company in the past, completely drawing a line with everyone … will only force yourself into a desperate situation!"
"Is that all you want to say?" Liu Xiaojiang looked at Zhao Fangxu calmly.
"Was I the only one who chose the other path? Su Cheng's death may be a manifestation of my personal anger, but was it really Su Cheng who was the only one who made things difficult for me to completely break off relations with the company and the higher-ups?"
"I've already said it just now. Even if there is no Su Cheng, there is still Zhao Cheng, Qian Cheng, Sun Cheng …"
"The difference between us determines that you won't trust me. It has nothing to do with what I've done and what risks I've taken on for you …"
"Su Cheng is just an opportunity …"
After saying that..,
Liu Xiaojiang slowly got up from the sofa and stood in front of the three old men in the room.
"Master, Uncle-Master …"
"This disciple is unfilial. It seems that it will be very difficult for me to call myself a disciple of Tenshi Province in the future. However, if I have the chance to walk to the end of this path, Mount Longhu … will naturally still be where my master is."
"After all, if I don't have the chance to walk to the end of this path, even if I miss my master, I will only be smearing Mount Longhu's reputation. I might even bring a negative impact to everyone on the mountain …"
"After today …"
"Xiao Jiang can't guarantee his future, nor can he guarantee that he won't implicate Mount Longhu, but at least he will remember what he promised. At least he will work hard to adhere to everything he pursues … with a clear conscience."
"If one day in the future, for the sake of the so-called righteous cause in Tenshi Province … Xiao Jiang will naturally take into account his past relationship with his master and show mercy to some disciples who don't go too far."
"And the other situation …"
As he said that..,
He looked at the Celestial Master sitting on the sofa, who was neither sad nor happy. In the end, he did not say anything. He only shook his head with a complicated expression and sighed,
"Let's leave it to fate …"
Then..,
He finally looked at the angry old man sitting in the wheelchair beside the sofa. He tried his best to squeeze out a smile on his face,
"Master, this disciple has let you down …"
As soon as he finished speaking..,
Liu Xiaojiang turned around and walked towards the entrance of the room. He did not dare to look at the expression on Tian's face. He only wanted to leave this place immediately to prevent the weakness in his heart from gradually fermenting.
"Xiao Jiang! Xiao Jiang! Liu Xiaojiang! Come back here! Go back to the mountain! Let's go back to the mountain together! The secular world is not willing to accept you! Master accepts you! Mount Longhu accepts you! The orthodox sect accepts you! You … cough cough cough!!! "
Hearing the violent coughing behind him,
Liu Xiaojiang stood at the entrance and stopped in his tracks. Although he had no intention of turning around, he still suppressed the trembling in his voice and pretended to be calm as he said,
"Chairman Zhao, you were the one who brought my master here. If anything happens to my master because of this, I will blame this on the company and not that so-called 'Su Cheng alone' …"
"As for whether you're going to tell the company and the higher-ups everything after today, I won't have any complaints no matter what you choose to do, considering the care and support you've given me in the past …" "Well, I'm not going to tell you anything.
"Take Care."
