What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility!

“Gu He, since Old Jia has already spoken, we can only put aside your matter for now,” Feng Li said to Gu He in this way, with a hint of apology in his eyes. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay, I understand.”

Gu He pushed his glasses and then sighed softly.

At this point, he couldn’t care less about his own affairs.

“Then we’ll go first.”

Feng Li nodded and then beckoned Yan Shi to enter the territory of the Snake-People together.

Watching the figures of Feng Li and Yan Shi going away, and then looking at the four Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level) entangled in the air, Gu He couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

What kind of trouble is this…

I just wanted to get a Heavenly Flame, how could I get involved in such troublesome matters?

With these thoughts in mind, Gu He’s gaze shifted to Yun Yun and the Xiao Yan in front of her.

Gu He’s brows slightly furrowed, and a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes behind the lenses.

Is it him?

At this moment, Yun Yun showed no trace of the calm and cold demeanor of the previous Yun Lan Sect Master. Her face was full of anxiety and panic as she explained something to Xiao Yan in front of her.

“Xiao Yan, I— I really didn’t mean to hide anything from you, and about those things in the Yun Lan Sect, I really didn’t know— I’m not trying to shift blame, and I will definitely solve these issues after this incident—”

Watching Yun Yun, who was explaining to him with difficulty and unease, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but smile slightly.

A hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes as he softly said, “Yun Zhi, long time no see.”

The calm words made Yun Yun’s heart tremble, as she stared closely at Xiao Yan’s gentle smile.

After a while, Yun Yun slowly said, “You— you’re not going to pursue it?”

“What’s there to pursue? I actually don’t know what exactly the Yun Lan Sect did.” Xiao Yan lightly scratched his face and then said firmly, “But Yun Zhi— no, now it’s Yun Yun, you definitely wouldn’t do those things.”

“I believe in you.”

The resolute four words made Yun Yun’s eyes moisten slightly.

She knew, she was very clear, that Xiao Yan truly believed in her.

But it was Yun Yun herself who was afraid. She was afraid that Xiao Yan would think those things were done by her. Every time she thought about this, Yun Yun felt fearful and uneasy.

She really didn’t want to, for any reason, not be able to lift her head in front of Xiao Yan.

“Phew—”

Yun Yun breathed a deep sigh of relief, and her nervous heart finally relaxed.

In the end, she was just being too sensitive.

After all, from beginning to end, she was the one who had been overly sensitive.

“Xiao Yan, let’s talk about it after this matter. I’ll go solve the situation in the territory of the Snake-People first.”

Yun Yun finally smiled at Xiao Yan and said.

Then, carrying her long sword, she suddenly flew towards the territory of the Snake-People.

Watching Yun Yun’s figure go away, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

I didn’t expect Yun Yun to be the Sect Master of the Yun Lan Sect— Indeed, there is a huge gap in status between me and her.

At this time, Gu He came to Xiao Yan’s side, silently staring at him. Xiao Yan also looked at this unfamiliar man with confusion.

“Um, may I ask who you are?”

Gu He didn’t respond immediately. After a while, he uttered a sentence without any meaning.

“It’s you…”

“Huh?”

Xiao Yan was full of question marks, not understanding what Gu He was talking about.

Then Gu He sighed deeply, turned around, facing the territory of the Snake-People.

“Forget it, I’ll ask you about you and her later. Let’s solve the current situation first.”

With that said, Gu He also followed Yun Yun towards the territory of the Snake-People, leaving Xiao Yan standing there with a bewildered expression.

What is he talking about?

As Xiao Yan thought about this, Yao Chen’s voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

(Xiao Yan, that girl Yun Yun…)

Yao Chen stopped halfway through her sentence, which puzzled Xiao Yan, furrowing his brows.

(Senior Yao, what’s wrong with Yun Yun?)

(…I’ll  talk about it later, let’s solve everything first.)

(Okay!)

Xiao Yan responded heavily in his heart and then turned to look at Xiao Ding.

“Sister, you and Xiao Yixian stay here, I’ll go find Eldest S—”

“I’m going with you!”

Before Xiao Yan finished speaking, Xiao Ding rudely interrupted him, staring at him tightly, afraid that Xiao Yan would run away from her.

This made Xiao Yan hesitate.

“Sister, I—”

Bang!

Xiao Ding’s fist hit Xiao Yan’s head directly, causing him to suddenly cover his head. Then Xiao Ding grabbed Xiao Yan’s collar, staring at him intently, raising her eyebrows.

“What? Do you want to challenge your big sister?”

Xiao Ding hadn’t fully enjoyed the joy of getting Xiao Yan back yet, but when she heard that Xiao Yan wanted to enter the territory of the Snake-People again, it suddenly made her anxious.

What’s the situation inside now? Don’t you know? As a Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level), why are you going in?

If possible, Xiao Ding really wanted to tie Xiao Yan up tightly and keep him outside the Sacred Land, not meddling in what was happening inside!

But Xiao Ding couldn’t do that.

Because Xiao Li was still inside.

Although now Jia Xing Tian and others, as well as the Snake-People, were on one side, in such a situation, how many people would care about Xiao Li’s life?

The only ones who truly cared about Xiao Li were Xiao Ding and Xiao Yan.

If neither of them went in, then who could they rely on?

If something really happened to Xiao Li, it would be too late to regret afterward, just like Xiao Yan’s fake death before, which was so desperate and helpless.

At this moment, Xiao Yixian also spoke up.

“I’m going with you.”

Xiao Yixian’s words were calm but determined, leaving no room for Xiao Yan to refute.

Seeing Xiao Ding and Xiao Yixian’s unquestionable attitude, Xiao Yan remained silent for a long time, finally sighing deeply and then showing a helpless smile.

He knew naturally that the two of them were extremely worried about him because of his fake death before, afraid that he would really die.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt extremely guilty in his heart.

He would never do such a thing again in the future.

Xiao Yan deeply realized that there were many people who cared about his life.

“Then let’s go in together—- Oh, right!”

Just as he was speaking, Xiao Yan suddenly remembered something, his face turned extremely ugly, and he rushed towards a sandy area.

And there, a person was lying quietly in the sand, almost buried by it.

Yun Ying!

Xiao Yan anxiously knelt beside Yun Ying, carefully helping her up and holding her in his arms.

“Brother Yun! Brother Yun!”

Looking at Yun Ying’s tightly closed eyes, Xiao Yan kept calling her name and gently shaking her body.

After a long time, Yun Ying slowly opened her eyes, looking at Xiao Yan in confusion as she showed a joyful expression.

“Eh? Master Xiao? Aren’t you already…”

Yun Ying spoke, then seemed to understand something, “Ah… I see, so we also came down.”

Yun Ying’s words made Xiao Yan feel both amused and annoyed, while Yao Chen’s beautiful face in the ring couldn’t help but twitch.

This girl is quite the actor, huh?

…

In the palace chamber of the Snake-People’s Sacred Land.

Xiao Li was holding Qing Lin in her arms, softly telling her a story, while Yao Ye was boredly sitting opposite her, listening quietly.

Suddenly, the three of them heard the roar of Kuixing.

[The leader at the front line is retreating! Multiple Dou Wang (Battle King, 6th Level) are attacking our tribe in the Sacred Land!!!!]

“Huh?!”

Yao Ye’s face suddenly changed, immediately standing up from her seat.

Multiple Dou Wang (Battle King, 6th Level)? Is it from the Jia Ma Empire?!

Wait— Why would the Jia Ma Empire suddenly attack the Snake-People?

“It shouldn’t be the Jia Ma Empire.”

As if understanding what Yao Ye was thinking, Xiao Li frowned and said in a low voice.

“Unless the Snake-People formally declare independence from the Jia Ma Empire, there’s no benefit for the Jia Ma Empire to attack the Snake-People.”

“But if it’s not the Jia Ma Empire, then who could it be?”

Xiao Li didn’t answer, her face solemn, his finger tapping lightly on the table.

After a while, a look of realization appeared in Xiao Li’s eyes.

“Ah— It’s them…” A hint of hostility flashed in Xiao Li’s eyes. “The Chu Yun Empire, or the Luo Yan Empire, or maybe both.”

“The Chu Yun and Luo Yan? Why would they attack the Snake-People Tribe?”

Yao Ye looked puzzled, and Xiao Li looked at her, saying, “Where is the location of the Snake-People Tribe?”

“The border of the Jia Ma Empire, in the Tager Desert.”

Hearing Xiao Li’s question, Yao Ye answered truthfully, and Xiao Li continued to ask.

“And what about the Chu Yun Empire and the Luo Yan Empire?”

“They are at the other edge of the Tager Desert— Huh?!”

Suddenly, Yao Ye realized.

The Chu Yun Empire and the Luo Yan Empire are adjacent to the Tager Desert!

“I had predicted before that the forces obstructing my actions wouldn’t just be from within the Jia Ma Empire. The Chu Yun Empire and the Luo Yan Empire would definitely send people to intervene.” Xiao Li gently stroked Qing Lin’s head to comfort her, saying slowly, “After all, in terms of national strength, the Jia Ma, Chu Yun, and Luo Yan Empires are actually similar, but this is without taking the Snake-People into account.”

“Once the Snake-People completely return to the Jia Ma Empire, it’s not good news for the Chu Yun and Luo Yan Empires.”

“But I really didn’t expect them to wait until now to make a move.”

Xiao Li stood up, handing Qing Lin to the bewildered Yao Ye, then took out a crescent moon blade from her ring, and walked slowly to the door of the room.

“Captain Xiao Li, what are you doing?”

Yao Ye held Qing Lin in a daze, watching Xiao Li’s back, not understanding what she was doing.

Xiao Li replied softly.

“Among the targets that the Chu Yun and Luo Yan Empires must kill within the Snake-People’s Sacred Land, there are two.”

“One is Queen Medusa, whose deterrent power is renowned throughout the North Western Region and has always been the foundation of the Snake-People’s stability. Once Queen Medusa dies, the rest of the Snake-People are no longer a concern.”

As Xiao Li spoke, the red seal on the double-opened door of the room was faintly being broken from the outside.

Then Xiao Li’s eyes gradually became cold and stern as she said the next words.

“And the other one— is me.”

Bang!!!

As the red seal shattered with a bang, a figure rushed into the room with extreme killing intent aimed at Xiao Li!

And the assailant is a Dou Wang (Battle King, 6th Level)!

“Be careful!”

“Captain Xiao Li!”

Yao Ye and Qing Lin’s faces were filled with panic.

But the next moment, what they witnessed left Yao Ye stunned.

The figure rushing towards Xiao Li split into two right in the middle and the bodies fell on both sides of Xiao Li, while Xiao Li’s clothes were stained crimson with blood.

Seeing this scene, not only Yao Ye, but also the two Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) who came with the shadow were dumbfounded.

Didn’t the intelligence say that Xiao Li was just a high-level Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)?

How could a high-level Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) chop a low-level Dou Wang (Battle King, 6th Level) in half with one blow?

What kind of joke is this?!!!

In the moment of their confusion, Xiao Li’s figure flashed past, leaving behind a crimson afterimage in the air.

By the time Xiao Li revealed herself again, the two Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) had stopped all movement.

In the next moment, their heads slowly fell from their still-standing bodies, rolling on the ground before coming to a stop.

Then, the two headless bodies collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Bang!

“Huh?!!!”

Yao Ye was abruptly awakened by the sound of the headless bodies hitting the ground, staring in horror at Xiao Li’s blood-red figure.

Qing Lin was also trembling constantly, unable to believe what had just happened before her eyes.

What just happened—?

Xiao Li, who appeared gentle, refined, and quite wise in Yao Ye’s eyes, had turned into a bloodthirsty demon who killed without hesitation at this moment!

Despite her appearance of gentleness and refinement, she didn’t hesitate at all when it came to killing!

And the most crucial issue was that the shadow that rushed in first was a Dou Wang (Battle King, 6th Level)! The two Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) were also at the same level as Xiao Li!

However, in the blink of an eye, the Dou Wang (Battle King, 6th Level) was chopped in half by Xiao Li, and the two Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) had their heads cut off by Xiao Li!

In this instant, Yao Ye suddenly remembered Xiao Yan’s extraordinary strength, and she was both terrified and astonished to the extreme.

Is it— Is this how your Xiao Clan is?

“I’m sorry, Princess Yao Ye, for startling you.”

At this moment, Xiao Li turned slightly, her face stained with a bit of blood, but with that gentle expression, she exuded a strange and eerie aura.

The combination of gentleness and blood on Xiao Li’s face didn’t feel out of place at all!

“Princess Yao Ye, Princess Yao Ye.”

“Huh? Ah! What’s wrong?”

Xiao Li’s consecutive calls snapped Yao Ye back to reality, and she responded abruptly, looking at Xiao Li in confusion.

“Please take care of Qing Lin, stay close to me, I need to go meet with Tribe Leader Yin Shi. He should be the only one in the entire Snake-People’s Sacred Land who knows where Queen Medusa is.” Xiao Li said, his brows furrowed tightly. “We must ensure Queen Medusa’s safety.”

Queen Medusa absolutely cannot die.

The reconciliation between the Snake-People and the humans is based on the two sides having similar strength.

Once Queen Medusa accidentally dies, the Snake-People will no longer pose a threat to the Jia Ma Empire.

The possibility of reconciliation will naturally collapse.

And for Xiao Li, who seeks reconciliation between humans and the Snake-People, this is absolutely something to be avoided.

Xiao Li had a clear understanding of Yao Ye’s character and temperament during this period of time.

In short, as a member of the royal family, Yao Ye is extremely unsuitable.

She thinks too idealistically and rarely considers the consequences of her actions, almost the opposite of what Xiao Li knows about Jia Xing Tian.

But compared to Jia Xing Tian, Xiao Li undoubtedly prefers Yao Ye.

If over these years, the one deciding how to handle the Snake-People’s affairs wasn’t Jia Xing Tian but Yao Ye, perhaps this matter would have been resolved long ago.

Although many of Jia Xing Tian’s concerns are valid.

It’s precisely because of this that Jia Xing Tian is tied up, afraid to do many things, afraid that if he fails, he will drag the Jia Ma Empire into the abyss.

Jia Xing Tian shoulders the fate of tens of millions of people on his shoulders, he is afraid that being an idealist and reckless would doom them all.

In contrast, although Yao Ye’s actions are often based on her own spontaneous desires, without considering the consequences that it would bring to the people that she is supposed to protect and care about, and are more likely to bring the end of the Jia Ma Empire.

But at the right time and place, without any reservations, she may also do the right thing and bring about a new life for the Jia Ma Empire!
