Chapter 1766: I Want to Follow Along

This guy's strength is beyond imagination, and to enter the Dao through martial arts in over seventy years is something ordinary people cannot do; his strength is even stronger than an average Spirit Rhinoceros Realm Dharma Cultivator. If a character like this really starts a fight, I fear it will turn the world upside down, and Chen Yu won't have time to look after Zhao Ping then.

"I know, I will just watch from afar, I absolutely won't cause you any trouble. Mr. Chen, I beg you, if you take me with you, when I go back to visit my great-grandfather's grave, I can tell him that the wicked Songyi Family of those years was slaughtered, and I witnessed it with my own eyes. Just think, what an exciting thing that would be."

"Alright then, so this was your plan all along?" Chen Yu was somewhat between laughter and tears; this kid Zhao Ping is truly not bad.

Most of the public still do not know about the affairs of the Songyi Family, but the high-level officials of Fusang are already running around telling each other; those in the same faction are trying their best to protect them, while the hostile forces are very happy to see such a thing happen.

Xingzi's father, Beiwu Xiong, is a retired Councilor, and he is also an old politician; although he has stepped down now, his influence remains.

Right now, Xingzi is playing a game of Go with Beiwu Xiong, and at the same time, she is telling Beiwu Xiong about the Songyi Family's affairs and analyzing the pros and cons within it.

"That is how things are, Father," Xingzi said. "Songyi Chi angered Mr. Chen and spoke of those sensitive issues right in front of Mr. Chen, so now... the destruction of their family is a certainty; there is no way for us to save it."

"Is it already beyond saving?" Beiwu Xiong put down the white piece in his hand and pondered, "How is the situation on all sides?"

"A portion of people are begging to protect them, a portion who are hostile to the Songyi Family are supporting it, and we, along with some others, are remaining neutral because this matter is very thorny, so we cannot casually express our own opinions," Xingzi said.

"Does a Chen Yu really have such great energy that he can actually make our official authorities have no way to deal with him?" Beiwu Xiong asked.

"Yes..." Xingzi nodded. "Because if it weren't for him, we would still be in dire straits, and the strength he displayed made me feel terrified, so I think we should remain neutral regarding Chen Yu's affairs—not opposing, but not supporting either."

"Heh, your evaluation of him is very high," Beiwu Xiong smiled slightly. "Xingzi, you are very smart; since you were young, you have displayed political means far exceeding ordinary people, which is why I exhausted all my efforts to help you rise to the top. Our Beiwu Family can only stand tall with you here."

"Facts have proven that I was right, because every action you have taken since rising to the top has been helpful to the development of our Beiwu Family, and since you can have such a high evaluation of Chen Yu, I believe this person must have something extraordinary about him."

"Yes, he is indeed extraordinary," Xingzi nodded slightly. "Now the Speaker is asking for my opinion, and I don't know how to answer, which is why I came to ask for your advice."

"The Speaker is standing on the side of the Songyi Family, so this answer is very troublesome. If you agree, you are supporting Chen Yu; if you do not agree, you are going against your superior. So no matter what, you won't come out well," Beiwu Xiong said leisurely.

"Yes, that is why I don't know how to choose this gift... Father, give me a hint," Xingzi sighed slightly; regarding this matter, she truly did not know what to do.

"What is your opinion?" Beiwu Xiong asked.

"My opinion is... to not provide support," Xingzi looked directly at her father. "Because I feel that Mr. Chen is very helpful to our future; he is very young, and his achievements will not stop here."

"Moreover, in Huaxia, he has the support of two major top-tier families, and he can also have a say in Shengjing, so I feel we cannot lose him."

"Do you think Chen Yu is an ally of ours now?" Beiwu Xiong asked again.

"He is not. Chen Yu is someone who does things entirely based on his own preferences, and because his strength is great, no matter what he does, he has always been willful," Xingzi shook her head slowly. "But even if we are not allies with him, we absolutely must not become enemies, because once he is angered, what awaits us will be a catastrophic disaster."

"Is he... that terrifying?" Beiwu Xiong muttered. "But in the Songyi Family, there is an old monster who has been dormant for over seventy years! If it weren't for a Huaxia Dharma Cultivator stopping him back then, the Huaxia Martial Dao world would have almost no one left now."

"Are you talking about Yagyu Heiichi?" Xingzi asked.

"That's right, it is Yagyu Heiichi," Beiwu Xiong nodded slightly. "Yagyu Heiichi... he is a monster. He has cultivated for another seventy years, and the Songyi Family of those years did him a favor, so he cannot sit idly by regarding this matter."

"I know that, but... he is old," Xingzi sighed.

"He is someone who has comprehended the Heavenly Dao, how could he be old?" Beiwu Xiong was slightly stunned; he did not quite agree with this statement.

"Yes, it is true that he has comprehended the Heavenly Dao, but all these years he has been groping in the Heavenly Dao relying on his superhuman talent, and how could his insight into the Heavenly Dao compare to a true Huaxia Dharma Cultivator? You must know that the reason he comprehended the Heavenly Dao was because that Huaxia Dharma Cultivator who defeated him gave him the realization."

Xingzi said, "Our Fusang Martial Dao has no one who can break through the Heavenly Dao at all, so it is not like the Huaxia side, which has its own system. Even if... he has comprehended the Heavenly Dao, he is not immortal or indestructible, so in this duel between him and Chen Yu, I do not favor him."

Beiwu Xiong was dumbfounded. Truth be told, what his daughter said was something he had never considered before. He was stunned for a moment before muttering, "You are right. Even if Yagyu Heiichi's talent is not that high, he was merely groping in the dark."

"He is not an immortal or indestructible body. He is a myth here, but in Huaxia, perhaps he is just someone with a little bit of talent."

"Yes, Father, that is why I am worried," Xingzi said with some concern. "I do not favor him; at least in this battle between him and Chen Yu, he does not have any advantage."

"I am old after all," Beiwu Xiong nodded slightly. "I am not considering things thoroughly; these are things I have never considered."

"No, Father, you are not old; you just haven't paid attention to these matters for a long time," Xingzi said quickly. "Then Father, how should I reply to my superior?"
