Chapter 393 – The Seam

“There are a hundred forms of living beings, grasses and trees, and a hundred different beasts, resulting in the Nature Sect branching out extremely widely, with each person having a different path.” Xuan Zhe sipped his wine and said out of concentration, “A long time ago, the Nature Sect was the most tolerant sect in the world, corroborating each other and referencing each other, and each branch helped each other, and was incredibly strong.”

Xue Mu said, “Marquis Xuan’s intention, now the Nature Sect is also extreme?”

Xuan Zhe shook his head, “The idea of each family is different, there has always been, but in the early years, although there are differences, but the road is similar, seek common ground and put aside the differences. But slowly, I don’t know when, some people will denounce other branches as heresy, years and years of infighting, pandemonium. As early as hundreds of years ago, there was a branch that studied toxins in living beings that was denounced as a devil’s path, slaughtered and expelled, and it was the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, which is now a very weakened sect in the Devil’s Sect.”

“Uh…… “Xue Mu had heard of this non-existent Poison Sect, and at first there were people who suspected that the Heron State Plague was caused by them, but later it was confirmed that it had nothing to do with them at all. I didn’t realize that this Devil Sect actually came from the Nature Sect branch. That being said, it was understandable that those who studied poison within the righteous path would not be able to tolerate it.

“Think it’s understandable?” Xuan Zhe smiled, “At one time, I also took it for granted, but then I realized that some things cannot have a beginning. Today you feel that the study of poisons is not right to be expelled, tomorrow I feel that the snakes and rats can’t stand up to the stage should I also be expelled? The day after tomorrow, should there be a fight between plants and animals? At the end of the day, is it really a Taoist dispute, or is it pulling for a reason for a power dispute?”

Xue Mu mused, “The one who started it all, is there no queen?”

“Not bad.” Xuan Zhe praised, “General Manager Xue is truly penetrating.”

“So Marquis Xuan was ostracized by someone looking for an excuse back then?”

Xuan Zhe laughed, “Not really, back then, I was also with Meng Ao’s gang looking at each other and attacking each other, while I thought I was just a Taoist dispute. Now that I would say this, it is also a reflection on some of the things I did back then. If I were to do it all over again, more than likely I would hold back.”

Xue Mu wondered, “According to reason, Marquis Xuan back then, even if he didn’t have Cave Void, your clan was still much stronger than Meng Ao, right, so how come it was you guys who came out of the house instead?”

Xuan Zhe sipped his wine and sighed, “The reason is complicated. My clan talks about wind, tiger, cloud and dragon, all the beasts are rampant, and the hall is majestic, it sounds like it’s very righteous, but in the clan’s view, our philosophy is much closer to the imperial court, and that’s what’s killing us. In the beginning, there were disciples who often cooperated with Department Six, and there were even people who took the cards, and I harbored them, the sect can’t tolerate it.”

Xue Mu and Yue Xiaochan glanced at each other, it’s true that there is no right or wrong Dao, it’s still a matter of stance, what’s the use of a Dao that sounds even better, Dao disputes will eventually evolve into something else. So the people who rejected Xuan Zhe’s team were by no means just Meng Ao, who was nothing more than a vanguard pawn among them.

Xuanzhe added: “And I am also on the clan many acts more and more can not see. Meng Ao’s team is just talking about sneak attacks, how come even other people have started to learn sneak attacks, and also said that the thorns are hidden under the flowers and leaves.”

Xue Mu almost sprayed wine, suddenly remembered when Leng Qingshi and him against the time, is also used sneak attack, Leng Zhu seems to have such a bit of flavor …… At that time he felt that this natural door how to always play sneak attack Road, so it seems to have its own reasons, no wonder Xuan Zhe look at the wrong.

“At that time, the dispute the more flourishing, the natural door once paralyzed, into endless infighting, now looking back, I Xuan Zhe is also considered a sinner.” Xuan Zhe smiled slightly bitterly and sighed, “Originally, I always felt that I was just a Dao dispute, after all, it was the same sect, and I also controlled that it was just a mouthful and not a fight. But it came to the point that one day my closest senior brother was assassinated in his room, but the clan was harboring Meng Ao, biting that the person was not killed by him, I was furious, so I led the crowd to throw themselves to the court. At that time, the Chief Constable wasn’t Xia Hou.”

Xue Mu asked, “The patriarch at that time was Leng Zhu?”

“No. Leng Zhu was sort of dedicated to making peace during the incident. After the incident, the old Patriarch recognized that he had been there and felt that Leng Zhu was better able to coordinate the various branches, so he abdicated to him.”

Xue Mu was silent.

Yue Xiaochan asked, “Doesn’t it feel weird?”

Xue Mu pursed his lips and nodded, then shook his head, “The details are too few to say. The crux of the matter is whether Marquis Xuan’s senior brother was killed by Meng Ao or not. Meng Ao is now being escorted to the capital, and Marquis Xuan has asked?”

Xuan Zhe said, “He admitted that he killed him.”

Xue Mu pursued, “Confirming that it wasn’t a broken can containing hateful words of anger?”

Xuan Zhe was stunned and silent.

Xue Mu knew that Xuan Zhe would come to him to tell him a story because he wasn’t as happy as he wanted to be at the court.

He was a hallowed Cave Void, stronger than the old Chief Constable back then, and he had just taken the plunge at that time, so being a deputy was still appropriate. According to theory, the old chief constable after the abdication should also be his take over, but Ji Qingyuan does not trust, but let his own daughter on the throne, just so one thing, Xuanzhe department of people should be fried.

Later, Xiahou Di work conscientiously, the public heart for the importance of the intention for the Department of six exhausting, slowly obtained Xuanzhe system of recognition. Plus Xuan Zhe self-confessed poor strategy, and reflect on the mistakes of the year’s infighting, they also feel at ease to assist Xiahou Di, did not think about anything more.

But now, the matter of the tripod once again highlights the fact that Ji Qingyuan is still defending him, which makes people feel very bad. Xue Mu thinks that he is Xuan Zhe, should also hold a stomach of anger, and even began to doubt their own choice in the end is not right, to join the court is not fundamentally wrong, more and more regret the behavior of infighting.

So there is such a conversation. Firstly, he was looking for someone to talk to, and secondly, he was also a bit confused and wanted to see if a “wise man” like Xue Mu could give him some pointers.

Without evidence, of course Xue Mu couldn’t give him any guidance, although he deeply suspected that Xuan Zhe’s senior brother really wasn’t killed by Meng Ao. Who killed him is very interesting, if it is Ji Qingyuan sent people to do, is Ji Qingyuan split the natural door of the poisonous plan, Xuanzhe stupid but also into his banner to go; if it is the natural door of other people to do, for example, Lengzhu …… then it is Lengzhu on the throne of the plan.

Or maybe, Ji Qingyuan and Lengzhu conspired to do?

Maybe Xuanzhe has similar suspicions to this day, and that’s why he’s looking for himself.

Xue Mu couldn’t say it directly, but just said tentatively, “In that case, it’s very difficult to be the Patriarch of the Nature Sect, and there are still many factional disputes to this day, right? It’s not easy for Leng Zhu to do the same.”

Xuan Zhe was silent for a while and sighed softly, “Leng Zhu …… I can’t see it. Normal time to see, he is a love of the jungle nature, bamboo staff and shoes leisurely travel under the forest of the high and pure escape. Such a person should not be involved in the fights of all parties, and should not go to the tripod, but he has done everything.”

Xue Mu instead spoke up for Leng Zhu, “As the head of a clan, being too out of the world is not good, and it’s understandable to get involved in worldly affairs for the sake of the clan’s development.”

“Maybe, that’s why he and I are still friends.” Xuan Zhe sighed, “It’s a pity that he still doesn’t believe me when I told him that the court didn’t take the Void Tripod. Now that it’s true, as Your Majesty guessed, that he’s the one who cried out to catch a thief, then there’s no point in being this friend.”

Xue Mu draws the corner of his mouth, the root cause of this is still in himself, in fact, Xue Qingqiu has already controlled the tripod, this matter was told to him through the Star Luo Formation, the whereabouts of the tripod at this time can already be without hiding. But for the sake of his own safety plan, of course, still can’t say it at this time, he can only comfort Xuan Zhe: “Xuan Hou should do also done, other people believe it or not is other people’s business, why bother to get entangled?”

Xuan Zhe smiled faintly, “The tripod’s destination is confusing, intuitively I feel more like it was Chief Xue who did it.”

Seeing that Xue Mu wanted to say something, Xuan Zhe waved his hand, “If it was Chief Executive Xue who did it, it is normal in the Star Moon position. Mister Xuan is not looking for a drink with Mr. Xue to investigate the case.”

Xue Mu didn’t say anything else, but just asked, “Then what exactly does Marquis Xuan want to hear from Mister Xue?”

Xuan Zhe twirled his wine glass and said, “Xuan Mou wants to hear General Manager Xue’s opinion on how Xuan Mou can live with himself if the Natural Sect and the imperial court completely turn against each other?”

Xue Mu realized that he couldn’t really give any guidance.

According to reasoning, if you are committed to the court, then even if the two sides turn against each other, you can cut off the relationship with Nature Sect and stand on the side of the court, there is nothing difficult to choose. The problem is, the court simply do not trust you, this day to think about is really difficult, which have any ideas to come up with?
