Chapter 79 : The Waters of the Dynasty Are Too Deep, You Can't Grasp It
The old man forced a smile and spoke pleasantries, "Little friend's aspirations are lofty, this old man is full of admiration."
Ming Chen retorted, "Then may I ask the National Preceptor, why did you enter the world?"
Xu Yingsu's whole body trembled.
For what?
Naturally, it was for wealth and glory, for power and fame!

If a person cultivates not to show off in front of others, not to enjoy wealth and glory, then for what?
Even though his body had fallen to this state, he did not regret his original choice one bit.

He only regretted that he had come down the mountain too late, and had enjoyed twenty fewer years.
He only hated that his teacher had taught him too little, leaving him now trapped in a predicament with no known solution.
The old man narrowed his eyes, picked up his teacup, and took a sip. "This old man is the same as little friend."
Putting other things aside, just the jade teacup in his hand was something few families in the capital could afford, a symbol of nobility and wealth.

When he was young, he cultivated arduously in a thatched hut in the mountains. How could he have ever seen this? He wouldn't even dare to imagine it.
The two of them, each with their own thoughts, probed each other for a few more sentences. Ming Chen wanted to know about the situation with magic and cultivators, while Xu Yingsu wanted to know Ming Chen's background and purpose.
However, neither of them got what they wanted.
Ming Chen said, "National Preceptor, let's just get straight to the point. Why did you invite me here?"

Chatting with the old man and drinking with the dazed older sister were two completely different dimensions of things.
Ming Chen was unwilling to beat around the bush with this person any longer.

Since they were talking about official business, there was no need to bring up useless things. He had accepted this old man's invitation to come here to see if he could hear anything interesting from the other's mouth.
As for later...
But now it seemed that the other party was just so-so.
Are the cultivators in this world really without any formed system?
Xu Yingsu twitched the corner of his mouth.
Young people can't hold their temper.

But the situation was stronger than the man, and he couldn't put on any airs.
He had originally wanted to kill this person with a Nail Head Seal and be done with it.
But he had failed, and had been discovered.
The fact that the other party could deliver a letter into his hands without him knowing meant that the other party held the absolute advantage. He had no way to put the other to death.
The old man hadn't slept all night and had sent someone to invite Ming Chen at dawn.
Xu Yingsu coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, little friend, this old man is advising you. Cultivators should practice non-action, seek the Dao of heaven and earth, and not interfere in the affairs of the court."

"It concerns the rise and fall of the dynasty, the great matter of the nation's fate. The karmic force of the world is not something you and I can bear."
The old man pointed to his own face and said, "If you don't believe me, look at this old man. This old man's face is an example."

"Oh?"
Ming Chen raised an eyebrow and looked at the ugly old man with great interest.
This old fellow is truly something else.
If Xiu Die saw this person, she probably wouldn't be so self-conscious.

But unfortunately, he was not considered a cultivator.
Seeing that Ming Chen seemed to be moved, Xu Yingsu leaned closer to him, with an expression of looking out for Ming Chen's good. "You are so young, with outstanding talent. This old man advises you, it is better to turn back in time."
"To cultivate as a carefree immortal outside the world, watching the changes of the years and the succession of dynasties, wouldn't that be delightful?"
The waters of the dynasty are too deep, young man, you can't grasp it. Let this old man handle it.

Ming Chen's eyes flickered, no one knew what he was thinking. He just responded, "Is that so~"
He pondered for a moment, then changed the subject and asked Xu Yingsu, "But yesterday, the National Preceptor deceived my waiter and did something mysterious. Why was that?"
Е̄ǹu m̃ă
Ming Chen looked at the old man, his eyes carrying a hint of playfulness.
"This..."
The old man's face stiffened.
Why? To kill you, of course! What was done, you know, I know, everyone knows. To bring it out into the open, wouldn't that be tearing off all pretense of civility?
"..."
Xu Yingsu was silent for a moment, and finally let out a bitter laugh. "Little friend, this old man... this old man was also forced into this!"

"This was also His Majesty's intention. This is His Majesty's test for you. He is forcing us to fight each other, to leave a stronger one."
This was indeed Xiao Yu's intention.
It was not difficult to guess.
Xiao Yu would not completely trust Ming Chen, nor would he trust Xu Yingsu. But his trust in Xu Yingsu was indeed a little more.
Although Ming Chen had passed the life-or-death test, this meant that Xiao Yu would not directly test him in the open anymore.
But the test was not over.
Е̇n̆_u m а .іd̈
This was Xu Yingsu's last glimmer of light, and also the reason why Xiao Yu had said those words to Xu Yingsu in the Hall of Mental Cultivation after Ming Chen had left.
He was putting pressure on Xu Yingsu.

Xu Yingsu and Ming Chen, one old, one new. He only wanted one.
If Xu Yingsu wanted to protect everything he now possessed, he needed to make a move against Ming Chen and prove his strength to Xiao Yu.
Let the two of them fight it out, see who could survive, and reveal their true colors to Xiao Yu.
If Ming Chen couldn't even deal with the aging Xu Yingsu, then the probability of him bluffing was greater. It wouldn't hurt if he died, and Xu Yingsu could continue to sit in his position as National Preceptor.

If Ming Chen squeezed Xu Yingsu out, that would be even better, as it would further prove Ming Chen's worth. In any case, Xu Yingsu's performance in recent years had been poor, and Xiao Yu had long been disappointed in him. It was good for him to retire.
The struggle between the two would not involve Xiao Yu. He would remain clean, always the one pulling the strings from behind.
So Xu Yingsu made his move.
But unfortunately, he failed. And that led to today's invitation.

He hoped to persuade Ming Chen to retreat, or for the two of them to reach a cooperation.
"This old man had no choice, that's why I resorted to this~"

"Please rest assured, little friend. This old man was just trying to scare you, I didn't really want to harm you."
"Is that so..."
Ming Chen had actually more or less guessed it.
Although people in the same trade are rivals.
But if there was no pressure, this not-so-strong old man wouldn't have needed to take the risk of making an enemy of him.
Xu Yingsu couldn't be sure what this perverse young man was thinking. Seeing that he didn't seem angry, he also felt a little relieved in his heart.

Ming Chen seemed to remember something and asked again, "May I ask the National Preceptor, was the curse on His Highness the Crown Prince cast by you?"
Xu Yingsu trembled, his face stiffened for a moment, then he still shook his head and said, "No, it wasn't."
This old man's intelligence isn't very high. Shouldn't you be surprised that the Crown Prince has a curse on him?
Ming Chen shook his head, then his expression suddenly changed. He widened his eyes in horror, pointed behind Xu Yingsu, and asked, "National Preceptor, that... what is that?"
"What?"
The old man, who was already somewhat absent-minded, was suddenly startled by Ming Chen. His heart jumped, and he subconsciously turned his head to look.

The scene before him was as usual, nothing had changed.
In the next instant, reason returned, and Xu Yingsu's mind was shaken.

An unprecedented feeling of terror rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. His hair stood on end, and cold sweat streamed down his face.
He wanted to turn back abruptly, but...
"Baby, grow long~"
"Swoosh~"

Accompanied by a playful whisper, a flash of emerald green light shot past.
