Chapter 342 The Young Singer's Journey 11
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
The courage that Wuxin had finally mustered vanished after the white-haired immortal interrupted him, and his resolute determination vanished, leaving him struggling once again.
Having lived in Hanshan Temple for twelve years, he has come to regard it as his home and does not want to leave.
However, as long as he doesn't leave, people in the martial arts world will always be eyeing him covetously, and he can't possibly defeat his opponents every time.
The world is vast, and there are countless people who want to kill him. If he can stop the person in front of him once or twice, can he stop him every time?
Moreover, since the Demonic Sect's failed eastern expedition twelve years ago, the major demonic sects outside the realm have fallen apart. Uncle Mo and Uncle Yu Ji have worked hard for twelve years so that he can successfully inherit the position of the sect master of the Outer Heaven Sect. How could he let them down?
Wuxin let out a long sigh, stepped past Xiao Yu, and walked to the White-Haired Immortal and the Purple-Clad Marquis: "I've made up my mind, I want to return to Heaven..."
However, he was interrupted again.
However, last time it was the White-Haired Immortal who interrupted him, but this time it was Xiao Yu who interrupted him.
"Alright, I know your choice." Xiao Yu interrupted him impatiently, "If you don't want to leave, then stay."
"Ok?"
Upon hearing this, Wuxin froze on the spot.
He was still immersed in the sadness of leaving, but when he heard Xiao Yu's words, he thought that his previous statement was not clear enough, so he emphasized again: "I... I said that I want to go back to Tianwaitian."
Xiao Yu, however, did not seem to care about his explanation, and simply nodded casually: "Okay! I understand, you still choose to stay in Beili."
Then he turned to the white-haired immortal and the purple-robed marquis on the ground and said, "Did you hear that? He doesn't want to go back to the Outer Heavens. He wants to stay in Beili. You two can leave now."
Everyone: ...
If they heard correctly, Wuxin clearly said he wanted to go back to Tianwaitian, right?
Enraged, the Purple-Clad Marquis spat out another mouthful of blood, roaring excitedly, "Our young sect leader clearly said he wanted to return to the Outer Heavens!!!"
Xiao Yu waved his hand and said unhappily, "You are all adults, how come you can't even hear the subtle nuances and hidden meanings? If he wanted to go with you, he wouldn't have struggled for so long."
In fact, Xiao Yu's greatest hobby is giving people opportunities, but this is often a way for him to show his magnanimity after he has already made up his mind.
Just like the opportunity he gave Li Changsheng in his previous life, it was actually to force Li Changsheng to leave; the opportunity he gave Baili Luochen was also clearly to take the Pofeng Army from Baili Luochen's hands. There was absolutely no room for negotiation between the two matters.
Xiao Yu is such a person who "wants everything," both greedy and resolute.
The choice he offered was, in fact, already a fait accompli; it was merely a formality to give the other party a chance to choose in a symbolic way.
The essence of this "choice" was nothing more than an arrangement he had already planned in his mind.
His thought process is: I'm giving you a choice.
You'd better be sensible and do as I wish, then everyone will be happy; otherwise, I'll just beat you up and kill you, and that will also satisfy my desires.
So, the choice is yours: to live or to die.
Therefore, when he said he would give Wuxin a choice, he had already made arrangements for Wuxin's future.
Of course, his choice of Wuxin was not entirely due to the bond between ruler and subject from his previous life.
In his previous life, Xiao Yu watched countless children grow up. From the families of all the civil and military officials, anyone with a bit of talent was gathered together and taught, becoming the emperor's disciples.
The reason he now treats Ye Anshi differently is entirely due to Ye Anshi's outstanding abilities and the fact that, in the era when he had become a 'god' in the eyes of the world, Ye Anshi was one of his most fervent and loyal followers.
That's it.
Despite Xiao Yu's current worries about his memory, once his memory improves, he will still return to Tianqi City to become emperor and conquer the world.
Otherwise, in this other world, what would he fight for if not the world? Whack-a-mole?
Or should we go out into the martial arts world and fight those ignorant, arrogant people who rely on their martial arts skills to act recklessly?
In order to eventually become emperor, he naturally needed to gather as many capable ministers and generals as possible.
Therefore, when Xiao Yu saw Wuxin, the idea of taking him under his wing immediately took root in his mind.
As for unintentional opinions?
That's not important!
He had already tamed Ye Dingzhi in his previous life, so he could easily handle Wuxin!
As for why Xiao Yu didn't choose Lei Wujie, who was also in front of him, or anyone else?
This is because Lei Wujie had already made contact with Xiao Chuhe at this time.
In his previous life, Xiao Chuhe was the successor he had carefully groomed;
However, in this life, their positions are completely opposite; they are now political enemies.
People around your political enemies are not trustworthy.
Even if Wuxin hadn't pretended to be asleep and had actually made contact with Xiao Chuhe, Xiao Yu wouldn't have had the idea of keeping him around.
Because he couldn't guarantee just how erratic a person could be in a world where men and women could commit to each other after just one meeting, or where complete strangers could help someone steal a bride.
Who knows if they would risk their lives to help Xiao Chuhe seize the throne just because they said a few words.
Don't say that Xiao Chuhe may no longer have the desire to seize the throne and will not pose a threat to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Ruofeng was a prime example. He didn't want to be emperor, but his subordinates pressured him to do so, ultimately sacrificing himself to protect everyone.
The same applies to Xiao Chuhe.
There are too many people standing behind him. Heaven knows if those people, in order to gain favor with the emperor, will stage a scene of him being forced to wear the imperial robe.
Ultimately, the memory conflict is one thing, but it must not delay Xiao Yu's plans to ascend the throne.
If he wants to become emperor, Xiao Chuhe is an enemy he cannot avoid.
He will not let his guard down until everything is settled.
Although being an emperor in every lifetime is extremely arduous.
But what can be done?
He was a kind-hearted man who always cared about the common people and couldn't bear to see them suffer under incompetent rulers.
In Xiao Yu's heart, he was the chosen emperor, a once-in-a-millennium and unprecedented figure. No matter how many years he searched before or after, there would never be an emperor as wise and powerful as him.
Hey!
He's a good person in every way, except he's a bit too modest!
Even if you searched the entire history of this other world, you would never find an emperor like him, yet he humbly chose to only capture the middle thousand years.
That's too modest! Absolutely too modest!
