Incredibly Encountering a Stranger

The next morning, when everyone was still asleep, Instructor Wu came in and said, "Get up, get up, get ready to start training." Everyone was really not used to the rules here, but since people were under someone else's roof, there was no way.
So everyone rushed to the drill ground, and saw that many teams had started to train for a day.
"You don't have a name here, only the numbers on your bodies.
We are all personal guards of the assistant minister, so we only obey the emperor's orders.
You don't have to pay attention to the other people, even if it's the emperor's order.
You have to understand this.
Do you understand?" Instructor Wu said loudly.
"Yes, Instructor Wu." Everyone answered in unison.
This seemed to be a common sense question.
Everyone in the school had already been accustomed to it.
In order to let Instructor Wu repeat it, they hurriedly answered loudly.
"Okay!
Let's start training now.
The main purpose here is to improve your fighting ability.
You were all picked up by the Prime Minister personally, so I think it won't be bad.
I don't have anything to teach you.
I just want to strengthen your daily training.
You should know that the more effort you make, the more chance you will have to survive in the battle.
So I don't want you to make fun of your lives.
I hope you can practice hard, understand?" Instructor Wu said with a poker face.
"Got it, instructor," everyone replied hurriedly.
Thus, everyone started doing pair exercises.
"Reporting to Instructor, how can a magus like you practice with me?" Ying Xue's opponent pointed at Ying Xue.
"What's wrong with you, Instructor?
It's no big deal.
I've also studied the War Binding Department before.
I can do pair excercises with you, please don't worry, Instructor," Ying Xue replied loudly.
"Okay, let's start the pair exercise." "Bastard, if you dare to point at my water, I'll beat you up.
Open up the shield of effort, take out the black sword, use the large flame, open the shield of power, and rush towards the opponent.
Then the opponent will be unable to cope with it, and the face will be covered with dust.
However, the Heavenly Cloud Beast is miserable.
It is completely dark by the Fire Bird of the opponent, and there is not a single strand of snow-white hair on its body left.
Because it can't use magic attack or fly, it's impossible to bite the Fire Cloud Bird.
It's so anxious that it spins around on the ground, but it's not badly hurt, just its appearance is a little weird, like a piece of charcoal.
Ying Xue's opponent is like a Heavenly Cloud Beast, because Ying Xue is both a demon and a martial arts practitioner, and has learned a lot.
There are several kinds of magic attacks, wind, fire, water, electric, plus the battle system, so his opponent is terrible, burnt to the point that there is not a single hair left of his eyebrows.
For some reason, there weren't any Mages in the training camp.
However, because Ying Xue was so terrifying, no one was willing to train with him for the next three months, Ying Xue had no choice but to train with a machine.
As no one was willing to practice with Ying Xue, he had to practice with the Cloud Beast and the combat machine.
In the past three months, this man and the beast were able to sense the opponent's mind.
Although the Cloud Beast couldn't use magic, his attack power couldn't be underestimated.
Moreover, after these three months of training, they felt obvious progress, but it was hard to tell how much progress they had made.
In the Xiang Estate, the other things were treated quite well, and there was nothing else to do.
There was nothing to do all day long.
It was just that the favor was thin, and no one had anything to talk to him.
This was because one of the rules here was not to allow the guards to gossip.
However, whenever Ying Xue thought about the mission that Ling had given her and how she had found the Star God and closed the door to energy transfer, she would have nothing to worry about and could not help but feel a little worried about.
This was indeed an annoying matter.
However, there was no other choice for Ying Xue, so she could only take one step at a time.
After Tian Ying Xue finished her training, she strolled to the garden.
There was only an old man watering flowers and plants.
It seemed that he was a servant, so Ying Xue walked over.
"Old man, how do you do?
Are all the plants here taken care of by you?
Let me help you.
Anyway, I have some free time," Ying Xue said to the old man.
"Oh, young man, you are quite enthusiastic.
Come on, I just happen to be short of hands?" The old man did not refuse.
So Ying Xue chatted with the old man, "Sir, how long have you been here?" "I've been here since I was very young.
What about you?
How long have you been in here?" The old man asked.
"I've been here for roughly three months.
I've been recruited by the Lord Assistant to the Institute of Magic.
Everything here is fine, but the favor is too cold.
There's no one who can talk to me." Ying Xue complained.
"This son of a b*tch is getting worse and worse.
He actually recruited so many private magic guards.
I wonder what he is going to do.
Sigh, his family is truly unfortunate." The old man said softly to himself.
"What are you talking about?
Old man." Ying Xue didn't hear clearly for a moment.
"It's nothing.
I'm right.
The people here are too cold.
No one is willing to talk, and no one dares to talk.
Young man, what's your name?" The old man became interested in Ying Xue.
"My name is Ai Qi Ying Xue.
You can call me Ying Xue.
How should I address you, old man?" Ying Xue asked.
"I am an old farmer who grows flowers.
Except for planting flowers, I have nothing to do.
I only have to read books to relieve boredom, and I don't even have a person to talk to.
They are bored because I am an old person and I don't have a name.
You can call me grandpa." The old man said with a lonely expression.
"Oh, to read books.
There are no books here.
I like reading.
I read all the books in the school library, but others said that I was a fool.
Maybe now, few people like reading books." Ying Xue saw that the old man was lonely, so she quickly changed the topic.
"Is that so?
There is a Book Collection Pavilion over there." The old man pointed at a building in the depths of the courtyard and said.
"That's where the prime minister lives.
Low-level guards like us are not allowed to enter.
What a pity." Ying Xue sighed in disappointment.
"It doesn't matter.
I'm just in charge of the cleaning work in that room.
I have the key.
You just need to go.
Don't be afraid." The old man invited him enthusiastically.
"But..." Ying Xue hesitated.
"Don't say 'but'.
It's rare for young people like you to be enthusiastic and studious.
I like you very much.
Just go.
Let's go.
I'll bring you in right now." The old man didn't know what was going on, but he also had some feelings for Ying Xue.
He interrupted Ying Xue and pulled him towards the Compendium Pavilion.
Ying Xue followed the old man into the Compendium Pavilion.
The bodyguards did not stop him, but only looked at him with strange eyes.
"Wow, you really live up to the title of Assistant Prime Minister's Book Collection Pavilion.
There are so many books inside!" Ying Xue walked into the Book Collection Pavilion and was shocked by the books inside.
"The books here include almost all the history, economy, culture, the various categories of the Magus Department and the War System, as well as the types and offensive characteristics of spirit beasts, etc.
The books here are all obtained through the search of several generations.
These books are the processing process of human history, and can be traced back to the past and verified.
However, right now, everyone's hearts are filled with the desire for power and money.
Right now, no one is coming to look at these books anymore.
They're just like trash.
What a pity for the predecessors!" The old man complained.
"Everything has its value.
Now that I'm here, isn't it going to come in handy?" Ying Xue comforted the old man.
"Ying Xue, you're so funny.
Alright, you can read any book you like.
I won't disturb you anymore.
I'll give this key to you.
When you finish reading, you have to lock the door.
You have to pick the key points.
Otherwise, you'll have to read so many books for at least a few years before you can finish reading them." With these words, the old man passed the key to Ying Xue and went out.
"Thank you, grandpa.
You're such a good person." Ying Xue said gratefully.
Outside the door, the old man was explaining to the guards that no one was allowed to interfere with Ying Xue, allowing Ying Xue to come in and out at any time, and not allowing Ying Xue to chat with him.
Looking at the respectful mannerisms of the guards, the old man's background was not small.
Therefore, in addition to practicing magic and martial arts, Ying Xue came here to read books every day.
There was also a strange old man who came to visit Ying Xue to explain some difficult questions to him.
No one here was willing to talk to Ying Xue, so apart from occasionally feeling a little lonely, the other feelings were not bad.
There were no sixty years left in the mountains.
Ying Xue, who was immersed in the sea of books, did not notice that three months had passed.
In the past few months, he had basically learned about the rise and fall of the Empty Sky Spirit Realm.
In the latter era of high technology, the Sky Extraterrestrial Spirit Realm underwent five great destructions due to human beings' unrestricted destructions.
However, some signs showed that it survived.
At the fourth great destruction, they finally realized that the human race would only rely on high technology devices and that their own life forms were too fragile.
Thus, after repeated difficulties and research, they finally managed to plant the non-living bodies— machines and organic life forms—re over and over again.
Thus, after a long period of evolution, the spiritual beasts of today were produced.
Humans also benefitted from each other.
Through strengthening and reorganization, they discovered a way to open the door to space using the skills of 'space relative flow'.
After international development and update, the Sky Extraterrestrial Spirit Realm of today was formed.
Ying Xue was taught by the old man to learn the essence but not the quantity.
Ying Xue realized that she had always been a greedy person.
Under the old man's guidance, Ying Xue re-examined her skills and focused on studying the wind and fire elements of the magic element.
The defensive martial arts of the combat element—the Shield of Force—had a huge impact on her future.
"At best, you can only be a hero and a libertine for people during their leisure time.
However, if you can command an army of thousands of horses and soldiers, you can save the whole world and tens of thousands of people.
The history of the Empty Spirit Realm is a war and conquest.
Do you want to be a hero?
Or do you want to be a savior?" The old man's words did not allow Ying Xue to think deeply.
Not only did he teach Ying Xue the strategy, but he also explained the advantages and disadvantages of various spiritual beasts' attack strategies and Griffins to Ying Xue.
He also comprehensiveized the rules of every country in the Empty Spirit Realm, which benefited Ying Xue a lot and had a profound impact on his future life.
Unfortunately, the old man taught him some profound theories.
Ying Xue was not a person from the Empty Spirit Realm, so he did not know some basic knowledge of the basic knowledge.
Ying Xue did not dare to tell him, so she had to explore the books by herself in hopes that she could understand it.
It had been half a year since he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Ying Xue practiced martial arts and read books every day, as if she had been forgotten.
Ying Xue was looking forward to doing something to test how strong she was.
This might be the common problem of every young person.
They were eager to have a try and couldn't stand the loneliness.
They always wanted to make something out of the fame and were full of curiosity and expectation for the future.
The opportunity finally came.
The Prime Minister had a conflict with the Prime Minister in the court.
The first step was to gain the upper hand.
After discussing with his subordinates, the Prime Minister decided to make a move against the Prime Minister.
First was to take care of the Assistant's personal guard team.
There were roughly a thousand people stationed at Black Dragon Mountain not far from the capital.
This was the Prime Minister's private hunting ground.
Receiving the order, Ying Xue and the others were a little excited because it was their first mission.
After half a year, they could finally go out and have some fun.
"This operation isn't a trifling matter.
You're only allowed to succeed and not fail.
What you have to do is to kill your enemies.
This isn't training.
It's a life-and-death battle.
It's either you die or I die.
You have to remember, and also, you have to listen to commands for everything in this operation.
Otherwise, no matter who you kill, do you understand?" The Head of the Xiang Mansion's Head was giving his orders before the battle.
"Understood," everyone replied in unison.
The veterans remained silent, but Ying Xue and the other recruits were extremely excited.
Perhaps they didn't know what the battlefield was, and the veterans didn't reveal it either.
They just shook their heads subconsciously and sighed to themselves.
It was a dark and windy night.
When killing people and setting fire, it was already late at night.
More than a thousand people were split into five groups and sneaked out of the city, heading straight for Qinglong Mountain.
As they were all battle groups or novices, Ying Xue's group was in charge of attacking while the other four groups were in charge of flanking attacks.
Everyone went up Qinglong Mountain.
Since this was the private area of the Major General, no one dared to come.
Their leaders were not in the barracks.
The ordinary soldiers were sleeping.
Ying Xue and the others caught them off guard.
Some of them were still sleeping in their dreams and had already been killed.
After all, they were well-trained.
Other people immediately got up and fought back.
The battle officially began.
Without saying anything else, Ying Xue and the others suffered the greatest resistance because they were the main attacking team.
At first, they couldn't do anything about it, but when they saw their opponent's sword stabbing towards them, they couldn't help but think about other things.
This was the time when their blood was boiling.
They didn't think about anything else.
All they wanted was to knock their opponent down to the ground and save their own lives.
Seeing his opponent fall in front of him bloody, his comrades fell beside him one by one, some of them not dead but with broken hands and feet howling, only to feel a surge of Qi in their stomach.
However, the opponent's saber and sword did not allow him any feelings and stabbed mercilessly at him.
Ying Xue only felt a scarlet red in front of her eyes and that she was also numb.
He had already entered a crazy state of fighting.
He opened his shield of strength, took out his black sword, and fully activated wind and fire magic to attack his opponent.
The Tianyun Beast seemed to have also felt the mentality of Ying Xue, so it attacked him frantically.
At this time, he no longer needed any martial arts and movements.
He just needed to knock down his opponent and reduce the fear in his heart by constantly killing people.
If he had any other ideas, he would kill!
Kill!
Kill!
After an unknown amount of time, Ying Xue slowly stopped and looked around.
The battle was almost over.
The Tianyun Beast was covered in blood and lying on the ground.
However, Ying Xue could feel that it was not seriously injured.
It was just a little weak.
Other than one or two living people, the rest of its back was all corpses.
Broken limbs were unbearable.
It turned out that the war was so cruel.
Ying Xue couldn't help but kneel on the ground and throw up loudly.
"Get up.
The battle is over.
Get ready to go back!" Someone reminded Ying Xue.
When Ying Xue stood up, she saw that everyone else's magic bags were filled to the brim.
They must have been spoils of war that the enemy had plundered from the end of the battle.
Seeing this scene, Ying Xue did not feel excited and eager to come.
Instead, she felt very heavy.
The war was not as he expected.
He felt that war was a very terrible thing, and his heart was depressed.
"What a fool.
You don't even know how to rob the loot.
Who are you?" Some people saw that Ying Xue was just standing on the side and in a daze.
She didn't rob the loot and called him a fool.
"It's almost dawn.
Everyone pack up, take all of our brothers' bodies, and set fire to this place.
Don't leave any clues.
Go back to camp immediately!" The chief sent a message that he wanted everyone to go back to the Prime Minister's Manor immediately so as not to reveal their traces.
When they came, there were more than a thousand people, but when they went back, there were less than 800 people.
However, they had achieved a complete victory.
The enemy's thousand-strong people had all been eliminated.
Because he was in a bad mood and had too much energy during the fight, Ying Xue only felt very tired.
So when he returned to the dormitory, he went to sleep with his head covered until someone woke him up in the evening.
"Ai Qi-Ennea Ying Xue, wake up quickly.
I have something to discuss with you.
Hurry up." Ying Qi opened his eyes in sleep.
It was Leader Wu who was calling him.
"What's the matter, Instructor Wu?" Ying Xue immediately stood up.
"The prime minister passed it to you.
You need to wash up and go there right away.
Hurry up, I'll wait for you outside." Leader Wu urged him in a hurry.
"Oh, I see." Ying Xue casually sorted it out, walked out of the door, and said to Chief Wu, "Report, I'm ready, Instructor Wu." "Then let's go." Ying Xue followed Leader Wu into the study.
"Wait here for a while.
Later, someone will tell you to go to the prime minister's place.
I have to go now." After finishing his words, Chief Wu went out.
Leaving behind the uneasy and uneasy Ying Xue in the study, what exactly was going on?
Ying Xue was thinking about all sorts of things, and she was a little flustered.
Fortunately, not long after, a person with the appearance of a servant walked in and said to Ying Xue, "You must be Ai Qiyan, right?
Prime Minister is calling for you.
Come with me." Ying Xue followed him into the corridor of the cabinet.
After walking for about two hundred meters, they arrived at the door of one of the rooms.
She turned around and said to Ying Xue, "The Assistant Assistant is waiting for you inside.
Let's go in." Thus, she left without looking back.
Ying Xue knocked on the door with an uneasy mood.
A voice came from inside, "Come in." Ying Xue pushed the door open and entered.
She had truly been in the Prime Minister's Manor for so long.
Although she had seen the Prime Minister's portrait in the painting, it was the first time she had seen the Prime Minister's face.
Hence, she carefully sized up the Prime Minister.
His hair was tied up, his face was square, and his beard was white.
He was dressed in an official's robe and had a kind look.
He had a righteous face.
Ying Xue felt that this person should be an upright person.
"Come, come, come, it's Ying Xue, right?
Sit down quickly, sit down." The Lord Assistant Assistant greeted Ying Xue warmly the moment he saw her.
"Thank you, prime minister!" Ying Xue felt more and more uncertain.
"There's no need to be nervous.
I'm also a human.
I won't eat you up," the Assistant Assistant to the Assistant said humorously when he saw that Ying Xue was very nervous.
"I remember you.
You were picked out from a magus school.
I also watched your duel with the Spirit Resentment King.
Your abilities weren't bad.
Actually, there wasn't anything else I wanted to discuss with you today.
I heard from my subordinates that you were very brave and fierce in battle.
Your team was in charge of attacking, right?
Did you know that your team only had a dozen or so people left, and you were the only one who wasn't injured?
In the end, I didn't misjudge you.
You're indeed very good!" The Lord Assistant to the Xiangfu Clan praised.
So that's how it was.
However, when she heard that there were only ten or so people left in the group, Ying Xue's heart felt sour.
However, he immediately said to the Prime Minister,"Thank you for your praise, Prime Minister.
This is because the Prime Minister has the right command of Fang He and the Head Sect Leader.
If you want to say that the contribution is everyone's work, then it can't be counted as mine." Ying Xue was also surprised by her own reaction.
Since when did she learn how to flatter others?
Perhaps she had come from school and accidentally blurted out her thanks.
Thus, she blushed for no reason.
"En, it's rare to see someone who's not arrogant or impatient.
No wonder you said that you're a talent.
Looks like you're indeed a talent.
I have to put you in an important position." After listening to Ying Xue's words, Lord Assistant felt very pleased and continuously nodded his head in agreement.
"How about this.
You can be the deputy commander-in-chief in the Prime Minister's Manor first.
When the time is ripe, I will find a good position for you in the court." The Prime Minister said slowly after thinking for a while.
"Thank you for your education, my lord.
I will definitely do my best to serve you, my lord." Ying Xue immediately expressed her gratitude in a loud voice.
"Well, you go back and pack up first.
The butler will arrange a house for you.
You can go out first." Assistant Prime Minister waved his hand to let Ying Xue go out first.
"Yes, prime minister." Ying Xue cupped her hands together, closed the door, turned around, and walked out.
When Ying Xue returned to her dorm, she saw that there were more than twenty beds in the past.
It was silent now.
Although she did not communicate with these people when she was alive, she could still see people moving around.
Now that there was no one in the building, and she could not even see anyone, what did I come here for?
Thinking about it, Ying Xue felt her heart tighten and decided to leave.
Unknowingly, he had walked into the garden.
The strange old man was still fiddling with his flowers and plants, but Ying Xue did not know that he was still moving forward.
"Ying Xue, Ying Xue." The old man did not receive Ying Xue's response, so he went forward to give her a pat.
"Ying Xue, why are you in such a daze?
Usually, you aren't like this.
Did something happen to you?" The old man kindly asked.
"Oh, grandpa, why are you here?
Hey, why did I come to the garden?" When Ying Xue came to herself, she found that she had already come to the garden unconsciously.
"What happened, child?
Why are you so unhappy?
Tell me, maybe I can help you!" The old man could tell that Ying Xue was in trouble.
"Ai, grandpa, I don't even know how to tell you." Ying Xue explained the battle that night in detail to the old man.
In the assistant minister's room, the assistant and his son were also fiercely arguing.
"Father, why have you promoted Ai Qiyan?
Who does he think he is?
He's just a low-class person.
Just give him some money and rewards.
Why do you want him to be promoted to be a deputy commander?
I don't know how many people are competing for this position.
When did it become such a low-class person's turn to take up the position?" The assistant's son was somewhat dissatisfied with his father's decision.
"How many times have I told you that you should have your own opinions in doing things?
No one likes you.
I know that your men Zhang Wu has been the head of the headquarters for a long time, but all these people just cater to you.
They have their own purpose to work with you.
If you are not the son of the assistant minister, can he be with you?
Can he lead the troops to fight in the war?
Can he fight on the battlefield?
We need the talents who can help us do great things.
For a country boy like Ai Qiying Xue, if he is given an official position, will he be afraid that he will work himself to death for us?
Can your Zhang Wu do this?
People like him can only ask him to eat and drink and play with others, and ask him to do something.
He can only do things badly, but he can't do anything.
Even if he can't do anything bad, you still stay with them every day.
What can he do?!" Li Fengtian shouted out loud.
He was really a headache to his only son.
Although he was already an adult, he always hang out with those thugs.
"Father, I am also selecting talents so that I can work for our family!" The assistant's son said somewhat unwillingly.
However, when he saw that his father had lost his temper, his voice became softer and softer.
"All right, all right, all right.
Don't make trouble for me.
Don't talk about anything.
Don't associate with this kind of scum in the future.
What we need to do is something big.
You have to grow up, you know?
And you, Ai Qiyan Xue, I think highly of him.
Don't make trouble for me." Mo Dipamkara's father knew that if he didn't warn him in advance, his disobedient son would definitely find trouble with Ying Xue.
"What?
How could grandfather think so highly of a country bumpkin like him?
Could it be that he's gone senile with age?
He didn't choose so many people from the Prime Minister's Mansion, yet he chose a country bumpkin." Hearing that Ying Xue was chosen by his grandfather, Li Xun was shocked.
In the past few years, his grandfather had rarely taken charge of matters.
"That's enough.
There are only a dozen people left in the attacking team of more than 200 people, and he is the only one who is not injured.
Can you and your men do that?
Don't talk nonsense to me.
Go out first." Li Fengtian was a little disappointed with his son's inexperience.
"Yes, Lord Father, I take my leave." Li Xun did not say anything else as he walked out.
After saying these two sentences, Ying Xue told the old man what had happened in the past few days in detail.
"There is no need to worry.
Child, you only have some psychological problems, nothing major." The elder consoled him.
"What psychological problems do I have?
Why don't I know?" Ying Xue felt a little confused.
"You're confused.
For young people, they tend to think too beautifully about things.
When things are different from what they've imagined, they'll feel lost.
It's also human nature.
We have all been young before.
Don't worry, I was not like that when we were young.
Firstly, when you first killed, you felt uneasy and guilty, which is also human nature.
Secondly, since you've killed so many people for the first time, you're afraid of war.
You're afraid of going to war, which shows that you're a kind-hearted person.
Thirdly, you'll realize your weakness in battles.
That's killing.
When you're completely focused on fighting, the only thing you can do is killing.
Killing and being killed is the cruelty of war.
In order to make you forget your fear of fighting, you've gone mad.
However, you're also very regretful afterwards.
These are all psychological problems.
As long as you can overcome them, you'll be fine after a while," the old man analyzed the problem that Ying Xue faced.
"But I still feel uneasy.
So many people fell in front of me.
There are comrades and enemies.
It's too terrifying." When Ying Xue thought about this war, the bloody scene would reappear in front of her.
"Child, you don't have to think that much.
There are some things that don't have to be so complicated.
In reality, things are quite simple themselves.
It is just that you have a lot of different ideas, which is why things have become so complicated." The elder consoled Ying Xue once again.
"But I still can't untie this knot in my heart." Ying Xue still felt very confused.
"Well, let me ask you two questions.
What's your sword for?
What's the use of your money?" The old man asked Ying Xue.
"This question, of course, the sword is used to kill people.
Of course, the money is used to buy things." Ying Xue was puzzled by the old man's two simple questions.
"Heh, heh, heh." The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile to Ying Xue,"You're just saying that you've seen the fundamentals of an item, but you haven't seen the true nature of it yet." "Is that so?
What else does the old grandpa have in mind?" Ying Xue asked.
"Right, when you see things, you only use your eyes, not your heart.
The more profound the philosophy is, the more it contains the most things you normally come into contact with.
It's just that you didn't pay attention to it or think deeply into it." The old man said slowly.
"Grandfather, please instruct me," Ying Xue earnestly asked.
"Good, you're worth teaching.
Sword, if you don't put it aside, then it's useless.
If it's in the hands of bad people, it's called a lethal weapon.
But in the hands of good people, it's turned into a kind of justice weapon, an ancient weapon that is either right or evil.
It's just a name given by people.
How could there be any difference between good or evil?
Money is just a kind of media.
If it's not rich, it's expensive because it's made of gold.
It's just a kind of ore.
If you don't exchange it for a media, it's just a kind of metal material at most.
But since people gave it to him as a tool to exchange for things, it has become an indispensable treasure and everyone wants to get it.
Therefore, the world has become chaotic.
Of course, if you didn't exchange gold and silver as a media, you would exchange other items for a media.
Gold and silver can help it achieve great things, and they will help the evil people to get its effect.
However, who knows if it's good or bad?" The old man said slowly.
He had realized this truth, and it was almost the age of no doubt, but Ying Xue was much luckier than him.
"Old grandpa, I still don't quite understand." Ying Xue felt a little perplexed.
"Heh, heh, you'll understand slowly." The old man stroked his beard and laughed.
"Yes, I know you wouldn't be able to understand it.
Just like the war you participated in, can you tell whether it's good or bad?
It's simply without a purpose.
If you want to say what it is for, it's just a tool for the assistant and assistant minister to fight for power and profit.
Ai, you've done so many things for your own selfish ends!
You've actually disregarded the country and even managed to implicate so many people.
What a sin!" The old man sighed emotionally.
"I understand, old grandpa.
Weapons are good for the heart.
One thing, one thing, it doesn't matter what you use it for.
As long as you can correct your mind and feel guilty, it's fine.
It's just like war.
As long as there is selfish desires and selfish desires, war cannot be avoided.
Isn't this right, old grandpa?" Ying Xue asked the old man.
"Weapons are good for the heart.
Yes, you understand it quite quickly, but how many things in the world can be changed by your own will?
Everything has to be seen from the essence.
If you want to go further, you can't move with the interests in front of you.
This is easy to fall into the conventional way." The old man sighed.
"Thank you for your advice, Grandpa." Ying Xue suddenly felt enlightened.
"I didn't help you with anything.
You were the one who walked out of your predicament.
In this world, there is no one other than yourself that can help you.
Only when you break through will you be able to reach another realm.
This is the so-called Transcendence," the old man said happily as he walked out of his predicament for Ying Xue.
"Ai, I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse.
Let's do our part.
Let's listen to heaven's will!" There was still a lingering shadow in Ying Xue's heart.
"You don't have to think too much about everything.
I believe you can cure yourself." The old man cheered Ying Xue up.
"Thank you for your advice, Grandpa.
I think I will.
I have already disturbed you for a long time.
It's time for me to leave," Ying Xue said.
"Alright, you can go." The elder said.
"Goodbye, grandpa." Ying Xue was a completely different person from when she had just walked over.
"Well, I don't know if it's right or wrong to do this.
He's a kind and simple child, but now he's like this.
God makes the decision." Looking at Ying Xue's distant figure, the old man nodded while shaking his head and saying to himself.
Ever since Ying Xue became the deputy general manager, she had nothing to do all day long.
Her living environment did not change much, but everyone saw that Ying Xue was jealous, envious, and disapproving of it.
After all, there were birds in the big woods.
Since Ying Xue became the deputy general manager, she had put many things aside and got used to them.
She didn't care about these things.
Every day, she either practiced martial arts or read books.
Sometimes, she would go to the old man's place to help her flowers and plants.
But there was a good thing for her to become the deputy general manager, that was, she could go out for a walk.
Ying Xue was quite happy because she had a quite leisurely life.
However, Ying Xue had a leisure time, and his assistant, Li Fengtian, was like walking on thin ice.
Because the number of guards of the first assistant, Yang Zhilong, had disappeared in an unclear way.
The first suspect was naturally to support Li Fengtian.
Because in the border country, even the king showed some respect to him.
The only one who dared to challenge him was Li Fengtian.
But it was hard not to have evidence.
Therefore, Yang Zhihualong also couldn't do anything to Li Fengtian at the moment.
But both of them knew each other well in their hearts.
Their relationship was at the ready to break out at any moment.
On this day, after Li Fengtian finished dealing with the affairs of the court, it was already dark when he came back because there were too many things to deal with.
He walked to about 500 meters away from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Suddenly, a group of men in black fell from the sky and slammed into the sedan chair, which was supported by the three spells of water, fire, and wind.
Fortunately, the bodyguard chosen by the prime minister was calm.
He immediately set up a barrier to protect Li Fengtian and entangled the black-clothed man to fight with him.
It just so happened that Ying Xue had stayed outside for too long on that day.
Seeing that it was already late, she was preparing to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When she saw that the Prime Minister was being surrounded by the men in black, she was in a very dire state.
Ying Xue no longer hesitated and immediately rushed forward.
She used her full strength shield and joined the battle.
Because she did not bring any weapons when she came out, she did not even bring a Skycloud Beast with her.
Ying Xue only had her bare hands in battle.
However, it was the same for the other party.
They were all carrying short weapons.
They might have launched a sudden attack and wanted to end the battle quickly.
Moreover, they did not summon any spirit beasts.
After defeating one enemy, Ying Xue grabbed a dagger.
When she was going to look for another enemy, she looked back and found that her husband was already injured.
She was in a critical situation, so Ying Xue immediately turned to Li Fengtian and carried him on her back toward the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Seeing that the target had been rescued, the black-clad men rushed toward Ying Xue and targeted her like a hunter.
They attacked her like magic.
Ying Xue felt a burning pain in her chest, her legs were hurt and her mind was blurred.
But she clenched her teeth and continued to carry Li Fengtian to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Fortunately, the guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion also found them, so a large number of masters of the mansion rushed out to meet them.
When Ying Xue rushed to the gate with the back of Assistant to the Prime Minister, she finally collapsed.
Seeing this, some of the black-clad men, who seemed to be a leader, waved and immediately withdrew.
When Ying Xue woke up from the coma, he struggled to open his eyes.
It was already dawn, and Ying Xue still thought that he had only been in a coma for a night.
"Ai, Vice-Manager Ying Xue, you've finally woken up.
You must know that you've slept for four days and nights, so immediately send someone to report this to the Assistant Prime Minister." When the people beside Hou Ying Xue saw that Ying Xue had woken up, they immediately sent someone to report this to the Assistant Prime Minister.
"What?
I actually slept for so long!" Ying Xue asked with a face of doubt.
After a while, Assistant Prime Minister Li Fengtian hurried over.
When Ying Xue saw Assistant Prime Minister coming, she wanted to get up from the bed, but her whole body was sore and she was unable to get up.
Seeing this, Li Fengtian hurriedly stopped him.
"The wounds on your body haven't completely healed, so you don't need to get up.
You just need to lie on the bed.
Alas, you finally wake up, so I'm relieved." Li Fengtian's arm was also wounded and bandaged with bandages.
It could be seen that he was also injured, but he came to see Ying Xue, which made Ying Xue very touched.
"Lord Assistant, it's good that you're alright.
Thank you, Lord Assistant, for coming to visit me, but your hand was also injured.
How can I bear it?" Ying Xue was somewhat terrified.
"I can bear it, I can bear it!
If you didn't risk your life to save me, how could I still stand here and talk to you?
I have to thank you!" The Prime Minister said with a sigh.
"The Prime Minister has come to visit you many times.
He even let you sleep in his bed.
Quick, thank the Prime Minister," the nearby servant said.
It was only now that Ying Xue noticed that she was not living in the original house.
Instead, she was living in a magnificent house.
"Thank you, prime minister." Ying Xue was so touched that her eyes became moist.
"Ai, you don't have to do this.
My life was saved by you.
In the future, as long as it's me, I'll have you, Ai Qiyan, as well.
When you recover, I'll arrange another position for you," the Prime Minister said righteously.
"Hurry up and thank the prime minister!" The nearby servant said enviously.
"Thank you, Your Lordship.
I, Ying Xue, will definitely not forget Your Lordship's great kindness.
In the future, I will definitely do my best to serve Your Lordship." Ying Xue was touched as she spoke.
"You don't have to do this, child.
I think I'd better leave.
Otherwise, you won't be able to rest well here.
I'll leave first.
When you've recovered, I'll discuss with you.
I'll find the best healer to treat you and let you recover as soon as possible." Before he left, he instructed his servant to take good care of Ying Xue.
If anything happened, he would be severely punished.
Not long after he left, an old man with that kind of flower had once again slipped in.
Seeing him, Ying Xue asked, "Old grandpa, how did you get in?" The old man said, "Of course I came in.
How are you?
Why are you so silly?" Ying Xue replied, "My injury is not too serious.
It doesn't matter.
Don't worry, grandpa." "You're really silly.
Didn't I tell you not to judge things from the surface?
Think deeply and look farther.
Why don't you listen to me?" The old man scolded.
"In such a critical situation, how can I have the time to think about it?
If I think about it for a little longer, Lord Assistant will be in even more danger." Ying Xue did not seem to be bothered by the old man's words.
"Ai, take a good rest.
I'll go out first." Seeing that Ying Xue was still in a daze, the old man shook his head and walked out.
"Grandfather, why did you leave?
When I'm done with my injuries, I'll visit you." Ying Xue was puzzled by the old man's sudden departure.
