Peace Order-Chapter 104 - 70: Changes in the World_2

The old man scolded him and said,

"The Emperor reciting your verses. The civil servants and sons of the military merit holders in the Capital City have already taken a disliking to you. It’s just that you were in Guan Yi City, and the Xue Family of Guan Yi City has significant influence, so they couldn’t easily leave the capital. Once you arrive in the Capital City, they might come looking for trouble."

"However, you need not worry, as for martial arts, you are certainly stronger than them."

"As for reputation, hmph, Mr. Wang Tong and Mr. Wen Yuan will be back soon. If you wish, you could study under them for a while, and be protected by the prestige of great scholars. In this era, martial arts can protect oneself, but having a renowned name across the world can make all forces respect and value you."

"They do so to recruit great talents from across the world."

"Only in times of chaos does a literary name have such an effect. Mr. Wang Tong and Mr. Wen Yuan are currently highly sought after, their fame immense. The noble families and those clad in official robes in the Court must bow their heads slightly. With such a literary reputation, even if the sons of noble families despise you bitterly, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly."

"At least they would not resort to any despicable means."

Li Guanyi nodded his head.

He knew this.

In times of chaos, apart from martial arts, one also needed reputation for self-preservation. Although he had some martial arts skills, he lacked fame. Li Guanyi thought about the situation in Jiangzhou City, and felt that having a literary name would be better than none. Many disciples of Master Wang Tong were sons of noble families from Ying Country.

By becoming a disciple, one could claim a title.

Someday when he went to Ying Country, at the very least, he could rely on the reputation of his fellow disciples to scrape by.

And if there were major changes, this would also serve as a source of power and support.

To advance or retreat, it was indeed a perfect step.

Isn’t this what that saying means?

"When I grow strong, change will follow?"

Wait,... why am I thinking of these things?

Li Guanyi paused, dispersing the sudden thoughts that had emerged in his mind. He had originally only thought of living a peaceful life with his aunt, but now his thoughts seemed to have shifted somehow.

Perhaps he had been influenced.

Li Guanyi rubbed his forehead. People do influence each other, and he suppressed these miscellaneous thoughts.

He poured a glass of wine for the old man and said,

"Then I shall stay here, preparing to welcome the two elders."

The old man burst into laughter: "Prepare what bedding?"

"The two of them have been wanting to meet you, and there’s also a guy from the Mo School who might come looking for you. If they weren’t in a rush to enter the Capital City and had to playact with the dignitaries at the Court, they would have come to you long ago."

"Why would it be my turn, the old man?"

"But, you’re definitely fine, hahaha, after all, you are the White Tiger Sect found by the East Continent Star Observation School." The old man teased, picking up his wine glass, just as he was about to drink, Li Guanyi said, "I’m afraid I’m not really the White Tiger Sect."

The old man sprayed out his drink in one go.

He coughed violently, wiping his mouth with his sleeve, and said,

"What, how do you know? I mean, what are you talking about?"

The old man’s reaction confirmed Li Guanyi’s point.

He said, "It seems through the light of the White Tiger Seven Stars, I saw the real White Tiger Sect."

"Will there be a conflict between him and me, old man?"

The old man hesitated briefly but did not obscure his words in regard to such a question, plainly saying, "There will definitely be, after all, no matter what, you too are endowed with the starlight of the White Tiger, and the starlight of the White Tiger Seven Stars will also bring enhancement in strength, which is something heroes vying for the world can never have too much of."

He gave an example, "Just like the imperial throne, even brothers and fathers and sons can kill each other with poison."

"Ordinary families can estrange to death over inheritance."

"And the position of the White Tiger Sect, it represents too much, power, fame, status, in times of chaos, perhaps even more important than a throne, a daughter can turn brothers against each other, do you think this position and fate grid wouldn’t lead to a fight between you?"

Li Guanyi laughed, "Definitely."

The old man wanted to comfort the young man.

In his eyes, Li Guanyi sometimes seemed like a thistle or a dandelion, with an air of being far from his native land, filled with vigilance and unease; but when he saw Li Guanyi lift his wine glass, the young man pondered and said, "Then let us fight."

The old man paused.

Li Guanyi had thought it through, he said, "I also need the power of the White Tiger Seven Stars."

"Having this power allows one to live better in chaotic times, besides, even if I wanted to share the power with him, he wouldn’t feel secure without killing me, so there’s no choice, no need to choose anymore."

"Let us fight then."

"To death, if necessary."

The old man saw Li Guanyi unconsciously revealing his yearning and desire.

This child, who at their first meeting had talent and flair, his first reaction was to draw a weapon to protect himself, now like a lion bearing its fangs for the first time at his destined enemy, was roaring, he had changed, perhaps meeting someone had influenced him.

The old man suddenly burst out laughing:

"Hahaha, good, this is how it should be."

Finally, a bit of the hero’s demeanor.

The old man, Siming, thought to himself but instead of saying it out loud, he just kept drinking his wine, then suddenly remembered something, laughed, and said, "Speaking of which, I’ve come back to do one more thing, you’ve entered the realm, it’s time I taught you the magic skills of the Yin Yang Family."
