After hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Tianlin was slightly stunned. He originally thought that Ning Fengzhi would definitely think of some way to restrain Qian Renxue, but he didn't expect that he would just let it go. Could it be that he, like himself, also had a genuine teacher-student relationship with Xue Qinghe?
Ning Fengzhi slightly raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Very surprised? Don't misunderstand, I'm not the same as you. The teacher-student relationship between me and Xue Qinghe is just a superficial phenomenon. In my heart, he can't even compare to a strand of your and Rongrong's hair. However, such a large-scale operation by Spirit Hall cannot be a temporary idea. They won't only have Plan A, they must also have Plan B, or even three, four, or more."
"Since we already know their Plan A, why should we expose Xue Qinghe and force them to come up with Plan B, which we don't know? Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to winning every battle. Moreover, with preparation, this may not be our sect's crisis, but rather a good opportunity to counter Spirit Hall."
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Tianlin knew that he had been overthinking again. Ning Fengzhi always thought further ahead than he did.
In fact, more importantly, Ning Fengzhi had already roughly guessed the identity of the fake Xue Qinghe, which was related to that person in Spirit Hall whom they absolutely could not afford to offend. Even Chen Xin's father, Chen Jianjun, was easily killed by him. If he harmed Xue Qinghe, it would bring disaster to the sect.
"Uncle Ning, do you plan to continue cooperating with the Heaven Dou Empire?" Tianlin suddenly asked.
"What's wrong with that? We can develop better by relying on the empire." Ning Fengzhi was puzzled. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been doing this for generations, and it had indeed achieved very good results.
"When I was out training with Master, I killed countless evildoers. Among them, mountain bandits and local tyrants were actually a minority. More often, they were degenerate nobles and evil Soul Masters. The laws of the two great empires regarding nobles and Soul Masters are too lenient. I naturally understand that in a world where strength is respected, it is impossible for everyone to be equal. And as the privileged class, they should enjoy more, but since they enjoy more, they should give more. If they don't protect one side, why should they have privileges?"
"I am also a noble now, but while enjoying resources, I have also saved countless people. I take these resources with peace of mind. In recent years, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has also protected countless villages and helped the people. But can the other nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire say the word 'peace of mind' as firmly as we can?"
Tianlin questioned Ning Fengzhi for the first time. His ideas had a considerable impact on Ning Fengzhi. Soul Masters and nobles were the privileged class, and the common people only needed to serve them, while they did not need to take any responsibility for the common people. This was a law that had existed for thousands of years.
But when he thought about it, if you want to get more, you have to give more, which didn't seem wrong.
"Uncle Ning, Heaven Dou is corrupt, Star Luo is tyrannical, and Spirit Hall is mixed. With the three largest forces on the continent like this, how do you think the continent can develop better?" Tianlin said in a deep voice, "The continent needs change, and it is best to achieve unification. This first requires someone who can truly speak for the people, and such a person is not me, not you. Among the people I have seen, only one can do it."
"Xue Qinghe!" Ning Fengzhi's eyes widened. Among the people around Tianlin, he could only think of this person. Although he now knew that he was fake, he had indeed made the Heaven Dou court clear and the lives of the people gradually improved during his years as the crown prince. Even Ning Fengzhi had received widespread praise, after all, Xue Qinghe was his disciple, and everyone thought that the crown prince was so excellent because he was taught by him.
"Xiao Tian, you actually want to cooperate with Spirit Hall!"
Tianlin no longer denied it at this moment, "That's right, but it's not me who is going to cooperate with them, but I want to force them to cooperate with us. Spirit Hall's plan to destroy the sect is a very good opportunity. I want to severely damage all the dregs in them first."
With Ning Fengzhi's intelligence, he had completely understood Tianlin's thoughts, "You have decided to strike Spirit Hall without destroying it, until Xue Qinghe herself realizes that as long as she is against us, she cannot unify the continent, right? But there are two problems with that. First, if she never realizes it, and the hatred between the two sides deepens, what if she insists on destroying my sect? Second, once the continent is completely unified into a large empire, no matter how deep the previous cooperation was, it will be useless. How can you guarantee that Xue Qinghe will not kill the donkey after grinding the mill and slaughter my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect again?"
Hearing this, Tianlin said with a smile, "Of course I have ideas. First, if she doesn't realize it, then we will rely on repeated heavy blows to destroy Spirit Hall. Otherwise, do you want me to beg someone who wants to destroy my sect? At that time, Xue Qinghe will also have to die. Although I want the continent to be unified, the most important thing in my heart is you, my family. This is a selfishness that I will never erase, especially Rongrong. If I had to choose between her and the entire continent, I would choose Rongrong without hesitation."
"Second, as long as we can survive the crisis of destroying the sect, we will usher in a long period of respite. Then I will use this time to improve my cultivation. When I break through level 70, with the help of the ultimate attribute, I will enter a period of rapid cultivation. In the future, I will be the suppressing force of Spirit Hall."
Seeing that Tianlin had already thought about the points he was worried about, Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly with satisfaction, "Very good, it seems that you didn't just come up with this idea on a whim. But Xiao Tian, I originally thought that your temperament and wisdom were already sufficient, but that was under the premise that your goal was only to become a Sect Protecting Douluo. But now, your goal is far greater than I thought. Don't blame Uncle Ning for speaking frankly, you are still far from it."
"Uncle Ning, I know that my strength is still..."
Tianlin said with his head down, but was interrupted by Ning Fengzhi sternly, "It's not just strength, you still lack a lot of things, a firm determination, sufficient confidence, enough patience, and extraordinary wisdom. Do you have these? If not, even if your cultivation is high in the future, you will only be a reckless man."
"Especially in terms of temperament, you still have a huge flaw. If you don't overcome it, your so-called ideal is just a joke."
"Temperament?" Tianlin was a little puzzled. He could understand the previous ones, but he didn't know what was wrong with his temperament. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said so, and Ning Fengzhi also said so.
"Yes, temperament, but it's best for you to discover it yourself." Ning Fengzhi didn't intend to say more.
"Yes, Tianlin will keep it in mind!" Tianlin kept Ning Fengzhi's warning in mind, and then said, "But since you have told me so much, you actually agree with my idea, right?"
"You have already acted first and reported later, is it useful for me to object?" Ning Fengzhi scolded with a smile. He realized that he had been calculated by Tianlin. Tianlin had clearly known the truth about Xue Qinghe for a long time, but he had been dragging his feet and not telling him. Until now, everyone outside was spreading that Xue Qinghe's wisdom was taught by Ning Fengzhi, and Tianlin was also Xue Qinghe's best brother. Once Xue Qinghe's incident comes to light in the future, because of these two deep relationships, how could the Heaven Dou Imperial Family still trust the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Even if they don't tear their faces openly, they will inevitably be suppressed in secret.
Unless Ning Fengzhi personally takes action to kill Qian Renxue, otherwise the two sides will inevitably stand on opposite sides. But thinking of that person in Spirit Hall, Ning Fengzhi would rather offend the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, in the future, you and Rongrong will be the people in power of the sect. How the sect will go in the future is up to you to decide, but you must remember that under the circumstances that any one of the conditions I just said has not been met, don't tell anyone else about your ideas, including Uncle Sword and Rongrong."
"Don't worry, Uncle Ning, I understand." Tianlin nodded, he knew Ning Fengzhi's concerns, because Tianlin's ideas were a betrayal not only to the Heaven Dou Empire, but to the entire noble class and Soul Master class, and must not be leaked out.
Qian Renxue's purpose of speaking for the people was to collect faith for cultivation, while Tianlin simply wanted to do so.
After following Chen Xin to roam the continent and witnessing all kinds of evil, Tianlin gradually found some goals he wanted to strive for, abandoning his original lack of ambition.
Perhaps it was the Holy Spirit Pearl that influenced him. Although the Nüwa of the Immortal Sword world is not as powerful as the Nüwa of the Primordial world, her kindness is definitely far beyond that of the Primordial Nüwa.
The descendants of Nüwa in the Immortal Sword generations have all sacrificed for the sake of the world's people. Even Zi Xuan, who had some selfish thoughts in the middle, never forgot her original intention.
To be honest, Tianlin will never reach their level, putting the world's people above his family.
Therefore, he can only try his best to bring a slightly better future to the Douluo Continent than the 'Tang Family Continent', which can be regarded as not failing the favor of this Holy Spirit Pearl.
But even the supreme good power in the Holy Spirit Pearl can only slightly affect his character, but cannot shake his original intention. He will hunt Soul Beasts for strength, and fight against everything for his family. He will never be one ten-thousandth as kind as the Nüwa clan. In his heart, Spirit Hall can be destroyed, and the continent does not have to be unified, but his family cannot suffer the slightest loss.
