544 Miss Mei, Have I Offended You in the Past? (1/2)
”Ancestral teachings…? It was considered as the golden principle hundreds and thousands of years ago when they were written. However, they've become obsolete and clichéd with the passage of time. Do you think they can curb the vanity and avaricious desires that exist in people's hearts? They can't! Only a handful of people who follow these ancestral teachings can be considered great and wise. However, the remaining people who follow such long-standing words of wisdom are merely mediocre! And, people who possess great wisdom and intelligence are wise and farsighted in their own merit. Therefore, they rarely mess with these ancestral teachings. And, the average people aren't capable of changing anything. Therefore, they have no choice but to submit…
”However, things change when a generation sees the rise of many ambitious youngsters. After all, these people are smart, and talented. These talented people are aware that these golden rules of wisdom are very important. However, they still regard them as words of nonsense. Therefore, they don't follow them. And, that's because nobody wants to renounce the glories and pleasures of this world because of this nonsense! Therefore, we can say that a smart and talented man might not possess great wisdom!” Jun Mo Xie spoke in a grim tone.
Mei Xue Yan feebly hung her head. The faith she had persisted-in since her birth had suddenly collapsed. Therefore, she gathered her strength and retorted in a powerless manner, ”No! That's impossible! This is merely your conjecture. There's no evidence to support whatever you've said!”
”Their attempt to besiege and kill you was also my conjecture? Is that not evidence?
”The Three Holy Lands were openly fighting in the auction. Is that also my guesswork? Is that not evidence?
”Ning Wu Qing is convinced that you are somehow associated to me. Is this also a guess of mine? Isn't this evidence enough for you?
”The Elusive Land of Immortals and Great Golden City remained indifferent when they saw that the Illusory Ocean of Blood wouldn't be getting any additional pills. They said nothing when we insulted their counterparts. In fact, they even took pleasures in other's misfortunes. You were present on the scene. You witnessed it with your eyes. You even dealt with them. Is this also a story that I made up? Do, you still need more evidence?
”And, don't forget that time at Tian Fa. The words spoken by Rainstorm and Hurricane Masters had agitated you as well. Or was that a conjecture as well? Do, you still need more evidence?”
These five arguments exploded in Mei Xue Yan's heart like five nuclear bombs. She suddenly become deathly pale as her body shook twice!
”Big Sister, Young Master Jun has a point; you should take this into consideration. Otherwise, the Xuan Beasts of our Tian Fa would find it difficult to escape regardless of what the outcome is for the humans. We'll certainly drown in this calamity!” the Snake King's voice was heard from the side at this time. She had absorbed the miraculous pill's efficacy by now.
Big Bear and Earth Cracker stood on the side looks of resentment on their faces. They had obviously heard Jun Mo Xie's words…
Mei Xue Yan moved her lips; it seemed that she wanted to say something. But, she didn't say it in the end. Instead, she only sighed deeply.
”The Three Holy Lands have many experts. There's no doubt it that. But, I can say for sure that only a few deserve to be compared to you! In fact, I certain that ten above Great Master Level experts can't prevent you from escaping; they can only injure you at best. However, how many of those ten experts were allowed to return unharmed?”
Jun Mo Xie exclaimed, ”You could've easily killed several of them with the kind of strength you possess. And, you could've easily injured the rest of them while running away. Moreover, let's not forget the amazing techniques you've mastered. I even reckon that you could've managed to kill all of them in case you had gone all-out without bothering about the consequences. And, you still would've had enough strength to retreat…
”But, you didn't. Instead, you ran away, and left those ten people alive!” Jun Mo Xie breathed a deep sigh, ”They aren't plotting a trap for you because you can't defend yourself. Instead, it is because they're aware that you won't kill them even if they come to assassinate you! This is the reason they're being so bold… You've allow them to be conniving! You weren't able to achieve anything apart from this!”
”But… each successive generation of the Xuan Beast Kings have been entrusting the Battle for Seizing the Heavens to their successor. How can I pay no heed to this fact? You humans may not take your ancestral teaching seriously. But, we Xuan Beasts can't do the same,” Mei Xue Yan took a deep breath as she slowly wrinkled her eyebrows.
”That's why I said that the purity of you Xuan Beasts' nature is your biggest strength as well as your biggest weakness. You need to understand one thing very clearly — I'm only telling you this because I want you to care about saving your own life first. And then, you ought to think about saving the entire Tian Fa Forest! But, this doesn't mean that you have to withdraw from the Battle for Seizing the Heavens!”
Jun Mo Xie deeply stared at her, ”You must participate in the battle! You must participate in it even if I tell you not to. But, you shouldn't exercise blind tolerance in the face of such threats and provocation. You must kill those who wish to kill you. You must cut those who wish to cut you. And, this doesn't mean that we'll fail in the Battle for Seizing the Heavens for sure! However, you'll only fulfill their cherished dream of destroying you and all the Xuan Beasts in the Tian Fa Forest in case you allow them to kill you like this. Moreover, they might still not be able to win the Battle for Seizing the Heavens after doing this. How can this be considered the fulfillment of the duty of a Beast Lord from Tian Fa? You need to understand this point clearly! One mistake on your part can lead to the destruction of all the Xuan Beasts in the Tian Fa Forest! Will you be able to face your previous Beast Lord in the netherworld if this happens?”
Mei Xue Yan pondered. Then, two seemingly congealed awns of vitality exploded in her eyes as she slowly said, ”You're right. I realize it now. I've suffered humiliation in silence this entire time. I've been patient and accommodating. But, I guess I've made a mistake in doing so! I was gravely mistaken!”
”I hope you've understood this well this time,” Jun Mo Xie smiled, ”I guess you ought to keep watch while these two guys digest these Vitality Linkage Pills now.”
Mei Xue Yan smiled and nodded.
She was one of the wisest individuals of her generation. However, she was obsessed with winning the Battle for Seizing the Heavens. And, this had made her usually firm nature somewhat indecisive and irresolute. However, her issues had been laid out bare at this time. Therefore, she had quickly reverted to the usual decisive and murderous temperament of a Beast Lord from Tian Fa.
She then gave two divine pills to Big Bear and Earth Cracker. And, the two of them sat down to circulate their vitality.
