Chapter 616: Chapter 121 Determination_2

"What do you think I should do? You say productivity decides everything, and social development spirals upward; I listened. That’s why I’ve changed time and time again, but now you say I’m hesitating and looking forward and backward?"

Her voice was slightly cold, tinged with a bit of grievance and anger.

Originally, Li Yunshang wasn’t angry, but once the words were spoken, the nature of the matter changed.

"The first three times were to promote social development, and the current Venerables also support you. But the last two times weren’t, so you killed many."

Gu Wen’s words gradually showed their sharp edge, like a blade’s cold gleam.

"Make this time the last time, declaring to the strong of the world, if it fails, venture into the Void."

Once these words were spoken, the originally tense and serious atmosphere instantly deflated like a punctured balloon.

Li Yunshang couldn’t help but laugh with some frustration, reaching out and twisting Gu Wen’s ear, playfully scolding: "You’re scheming right on your master’s face, isn’t roaming freely with Yu Hua and Chi Yu Zi enough for you? You even want to take your master along?"

"Master, your words have ambiguity. As your disciple, naturally, I hope you can nourish the years, and maybe announce a grandchild in the future."

Gu Wen felt a bit of pain from the tug, and he bent slightly, quickly explaining: "Just as you have said, even if failed, everyone couldn’t kill you. So, showing determination with only this method."

"Either succeed, or leave. This is a vow to the world, and also a spur to oneself."

Li Yunshang fell into contemplation, sometimes pursing her lips, sometimes frowning.

After a long time, she sighed, rubbing her brow, saying: "Let me think again."

"This disciple won’t disturb the master."

Gu Wen stopped when he saw things were favorable and did not further compel Li Yunshang.

He bowed to salute, leaving with Chi Yu Zi. The young girl grabbed Gu Wen and flew away as if escaping as soon as they exited the door.

Faintly, complaints could still be heard.

"You really have monstrous courage! Can’t you talk properly with Qingcang senior? The last one who spoke like this was Fool Xiao and got beaten almost half dead."

"Qingcang senior also isn’t having it easy, carrying the whole world on her shoulders."

The noise gradually faded away, leaving the house silent.

Li Miao tidied up the tea utensils, without making any comments on the previous conversation.

"Miaomiao..."

Li Yunshang just opened her mouth but was immediately interrupted: "You definitely won’t like to hear my opinion. Surely, I want you to leave with Gu Wen. His little world is anything but simple; he himself is a Saint, crossing into the Void isn’t living a hard life."

"If you go, at that time I will also follow, enjoying carefree days. Died once thousands of years ago, and busy back and forth for eight hundred years now, won’t you tire?"

Li Yunshang shook her head, saying: "I’m immortal, not fearing cold, how could absorbing the wind and drinking dew tire me? The commoners are more exhausted and more pained than I am."

"Who are the commoners? I don’t know them, nor do I care."

Li Miao said casually: "Now I’ve become an Immortal, able to live with you, unaffected by the mundane desires of the world. Someday when you can’t do it, I might also leave."

"Can’t you just agree with what I say?"

Li Yunshang was a bit dissatisfied at being confronted, her face soon filling with entanglement.

Until the sun set, as the last rays of the sunset bathed her face, the entanglement dissipated with the twilight.

Broken Sword Mountain.

Xiao Yunyi practiced at Sword Pond as usual, the only difference being he could go out freely, to inspect the cultivation status of disciples within the sect.

He often acted as a mysterious elder, guiding some Sword Cultivators who were despondent.

In his view, practicing swordsmanship is the best thing in the world, as it strengthens the body and clarifies one’s mind.

Sword Cultivators often have few who are extremely treacherous or wicked.

This belief, although repeatedly critiqued by the Jade Palace, holds true that the security situation in Sword State under Xiao Yunyi’s jurisdiction is indeed one of the best in the land.

Because there are many Sword Cultivators, and those who wield power are also numerous, the deviant paths can stir no major waves.

Similarly, because of this, actually, the number of deaths due to competitions annually is not less than those who die from demons in other states.

The only difference is that they died for a purpose.

The Jade Palace is quite dissatisfied with this, even the most lenient Heavenly Venerate Yunmiao doesn’t like the lawless Sword State.

Death is a major issue, regardless of whether it’s from competition. It involves a very serious question: How to ensure that sword dueling isn’t a legitimate reason for killing?

If someone dies, through certain connections, it’s easy to establish death by sword dueling.

The Jade Palace has repeatedly ordered Broken Sword Mountain to regulate, but the results have been unsatisfactory.

"Master, something big has happened!"

The disciple’s flustered Divine Thought transmitted.

Xiao Yunyi walked leisurely along the mountain path, asking: "What’s wrong?"

"Universal Unity, it’s Universal Unity. Jade Palace just sent out a decree, to equalize wealth, flatten life, and make everyone in the world like a dragon..."

Before the words were finished, Xiao Yunyi teleported, the Miracle Method was activated, causing the surroundings to transform completely.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at Sword State Governance Pavilion, the administrative core of Sword State, the highest authority in a state.

As the Daoist Sect changes the world, it is also transforming these ancient sects. In terms of administrative efficiency, the sect is much stronger and more standardized compared to eight hundred years ago.

For good things, the sect has always been non-repellent.

Xie Yunnan and a group of Governance elders were discussing tensely, the scene extremely noisy, everyone showing a shade of fear.

When Xiao Yunyi suddenly appeared, like a calming anchor, everyone quickly quieted down, finding a mainstay, their expressions no longer so panicked.

He said little, directly walking to the master seat, picking up the jade scroll on the table.

One by one golden characters appeared.

[When the Great Tao prevails, the world becomes public, selecting the virtuous and capable, upholding trust and harmony, so people do not solely care for their relatives, nor solely for their children, allowing the elderly to end well, the strong to be used, the young to grow, and widows, orphans, lonely, and disabled ones to be supported...]
