Chapter 686

Su Xuan whispered to himself.

In the State Preceptor's Mansion, Su Xuan practiced alchemy and medicine with peace of mind, cultivating silently, until Yan Lingji, who acted as a maid and usually stayed in the State Preceptor's Mansion, came.

"State Preceptor, Gai Nie requests an audience!"

Yan Lingji came outside the quiet room where Su Xuan was cultivating, her voice soft; when mentioning the title "State Preceptor," it carried a strange color; Su Xuan just pretended not to hear the strange tone contained in her words.

Compared to the title at this time, she liked the title "State Preceptor" that Yan Lingji called when they were combining and dual-cultivating at night.

He slowly opened his eyes, and his voice came out of the room.

"Let him in!"

Yan Lingji responded and then left.

After a while, another dull sound of footsteps came to the front of the quiet room where Su Xuan was cultivating; Su Xuan waved his sleeve, and the door was opened immediately.

A figure in white clothes walked in holding a sword.

After stepping into this room, he looked at Su Xuan and bowed: "I have seen the State Preceptor!"

"Mr. Gai, no need for formalities; find a place to sit as you like." Su Xuan said lightly.

Gai Nie came to Su Xuan, found a futon, sat cross-legged, and then looked at Su Xuan's quiet room; the layout in the quiet room was quite simple—the alchemy furnace whose fire had not yet gone out, and some shelves for storing medicinal materials; this was where Su Xuan cultivated; it is hard to imagine that Su Xuan, this noble State Preceptor of Great Qin, still maintained such a simple style and habit after being in a high position, always cultivating with peace of mind as before.

It seems that power and wealth did not cause any ripples in Su Xuan's Dao heart.

"Mr. Gai, is there anything you want to find me for?" Su Xuan asked Gai Nie.

A bitter smile appeared on Gai Nie's face: "The State Preceptor has truly given me a huge problem."

"Oh? What problem?"

Gai Nie spoke frankly and said two words: "The Luo Wang!"

With Qin unifying the world, because he did not contribute much in this process, Gai Nie once fell into a state of confusion; he did not know where to go; later, after seeing Su Xuan, he took the initiative to speak of the confusion in his heart, and finally learned some of Ying Zheng's ambitions from Su Xuan, so the confusion in his heart gradually dissipated; he was waiting for the time when Qin marched outside the Central Plains, waiting for an opportunity to show his skills.

As a result, he never expected that before he waited for that time, Ying Zheng would send a hot potato into Gai Nie's hands; after he understood the ins and outs of the matter, he realized that the true source of this hot potato was Su Xuan.

It was because Su Xuan recommended him to Ying Zheng that Ying Zheng would hand over the Luo Wang organization to him.

These past few days, he had learned a little about the Luo Wang's affairs and tried to take over the Luo Wang; the more he understood the Luo Wang, the more he realized the problems of the Luo Wang, which made him feel very tricky.

Therefore, feeling depressed, he came to Su Xuan.

"Does the Luo Wang have any problems? One must know that for some people, the Luo Wang is something that cannot be discarded; possessing the Luo Wang is equivalent to indirectly possessing everything; it can be called the master of the entire dark world, and can even be called the 'Night Son of Heaven'!"

"Son of Heaven" is another title for the Emperor.

Su Xuan spoke frankly, saying here that the master of the Luo Wang is equivalent to the "Night Son of Heaven"; he is not generally brave, and he is not afraid of being punished by Ying Zheng for his words.

Upon hearing this title from Su Xuan, Gai Nie raised his eyebrows.

He did not care about Su Xuan's overstepping and continued: "For some people, the Luo Wang is indeed extraordinary in meaning, but for me, the Luo Wang is a huge trouble."

In front of Su Xuan, he stated the problem he encountered.

"Within the Luo Wang, filth is hidden; from the time when the seven states were parallel to the unification of the world today, I don't know how many foreign assassins, bandits, and fugitives have been gathered into it; it can be said that every one of them is a person whose death would not be a pity, and only the Luo Wang can accommodate them."

"Just because the Luo Wang never cares about the past of these people, only needing them to execute tasks; Luo Wang assassins also view tasks as more important than life; in order to complete tasks, they can use any means, and at the same time, for them, as long as it is an order issued by a superior, they can complete it at all costs."

"Is there any problem with this?" Su Xuan looked at Gai Nie curiously: "Is this style of viewing tasks as everything not good? Not asking about right or wrong, not asking about the reason, as long as you issue an order, they will do it; this is a group of extremely high-quality workers!"

Gai Nie fell silent; he did not understand whether Su Xuan was teasing or really praising the Luo Wang.

However, he still said the following words: "In terms of executing tasks, the internal organizational structure of the Luo Wang is extremely rigorous, which makes their efficiency in completing tasks extremely high; this is of course a good thing. But now, His Majesty is prepared to change the pattern of the Luo Wang; His Majesty believes that the Luo Wang only knows the orders of superiors and does not obey the imperial decree, which poses a huge threat; if one day, the master of the Luo Wang harbors different intentions, he can directly order the entire Luo Wang to turn against him."

"So, you encountered difficulties in the process of changing the pattern of the Luo Wang?" Su Xuan gradually understood the problem Gai Nie encountered.

Gai Nie nodded.

I don't know how Zhao Gao managed the Luo Wang all these years, or if the Luo Wang was like this before.

After he became the master of the Luo Wang, he could command the upper-level assassins of Heaven, Earth, Ghost, and Spirit, but to command the lowest-level assassins of the four levels of Ghost and Spirit, his influence as the new master of the Luo Wang was a bit insufficient; he wanted to command these people, but he actually needed to leverage the help of the four levels of assassins of Heaven, Earth, Ghost, and Spirit, which is simply outrageous.

He is like this, let alone Ying Zheng.

In the hearts of the bottom-level Luo Wang assassins, there is no existence of Ying Zheng, the Emperor, at all.

"Perhaps, you can change your way of thinking!"

After knowing the problem Gai Nie encountered, Su Xuan said lightly.
