Facing this giant Taoist palm.

Xu Qing stood there motionless.

Everyone thought, even if you are a great master of internal training, with strong Qi and blood, in the cold winter, facing this Taoist full-strength attack that is almost at the peak of manifestation, how can you be safe?

But Xu Qing was indeed as still as a mountain.

Just when the giant icy palm fell.

A faint golden glow appeared on the body surface.

"A magical body-protecting skill!" Gu Wuji and others had sharp eyesight and recognized that this was an extremely powerful body-protecting magical skill.

Red-haired Yankong was secretly surprised.

He could see that Xu Qing's Golden Light Spell was now more powerful than the day when they fought in the Golden Light Temple.

He used the Xiantian Finger and injured his own vital energy, but he was able to improve again in a short time.

This talent shocked the red-haired Yan Kong.

He naturally didn't know that after the battle with the red-haired Yankong, Xu Qing was defeated and then stood up again. He had a vague understanding of the thunder method of the Golden Light Curse, and even transformed the Five Tigers Breaking Door Sword to create the Five Thunders Infinite Sword Technique which was connected with the thunder method.

In this way, even the Golden Light Mantra can benefit from it.

Xu Qing's golden light spell brought about thunder sounds, with a hint of thunder magic.

With the surging energy and blood, he took on the spiritual power of the giant icy palm.

Part of the spiritual power was dispersed, and most of it entered Xu Qing's sea of ​​consciousness.

However, within Xu Qing's sea of ​​consciousness, the Vajra Bell shook, vibrating this spiritual power.

The three great demon gods headed by King Kong appeared and dissolved this part of the spiritual power. How could the remaining spiritual power shake the natal Ziwei star and the lit parts of the Azure Dragon Seven Stars in Xu Qing's sea of ​​consciousness?

This is the power of practicing both magic and martial arts.

If Xu Qing had not used the Golden Light Curse to withstand the initial impact of this magic and used his qi and blood to dissolve some of the spiritual power contained therein, Xu Qing would never have been able to take this blow.

The Five Elders of Zhongshan had no idea that their full-strength Taoist magic could be broken by Xu Qing.

Moreover, they could vaguely sense the signs of thunder magic from that layer of golden light, which had a great restraining effect on their Taoist magic.

Otherwise, when this giant palm slapped down, it could not only press down Xu Qing's body, but also condense the surrounding water vapor into ice, freezing Xu Qing alive.

The five elders of Zhongshan failed in their attack, and then each of them had a small black flag in their hands. The flags fluttered around them, and thick black mist rose up. There was a faint roar of evil spirits, but they did not use them to attack, but only to protect themselves.

The eldest of the Five Elders of Zhongshan said loudly: "Xu Jieyuan, you are an outstanding martial artist and a powerful Taoist. We admit defeat."

He was straightforward. Knowing that his own Taoist magic could not suppress Xu Qing, he just admitted defeat.

After all, he was worried that if the fight continued, even if Xu Qing could be injured, his soul would be hurt by the other party, and the loss would outweigh the gain.

After all, an expert in internal medicine can heal internal injuries, but injuries to the soul are definitely a serious problem for the five elders who are still at the peak of their abilities in driving away creatures.

In fact, let alone being an expert in driving away objects, even if one is an expert in making the objects appear visible, it would still be difficult to cure injuries to the soul if one does not have the means or elixirs to heal the soul.

At best, one can slowly heal the injuries to the soul through long-term meditation, calming the mind and spirit. Not only will it take a very long time, it may not necessarily lead to a complete recovery.

The Ice Dao inherited by the Five Elders of Zhongshan is too sinister and not upright enough, so naturally there is no way to heal the injuries to the soul.

Xu Qing was also aware of the fear of the Five Elders of Zhongshan, and knew that the small flags in their hands were quite powerful magical instruments inherited from the Ice Dao, so he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue them.

However, this fight was enough to make Xu Qing have higher expectations for the thunder magic of the Golden Light Curse.

But the palm thunder that is the basis of the Golden Light Mantra is naturally the most authentic one from the Tianshi Dao. He plans to think of a way after taking out the Xuantian treasure house.

Or maybe, there is something he wants in the Xuantian Treasury, which would naturally be the best.

He smiled calmly, nodded gently to the five elders of Zhongshan, and said to Gu Wuji: "Master Gu, please come in."

He fought against Ren Tianyou, Yan Fu, and the five elders of Zhongshan, but he was still full of energy and did not show any signs of fatigue. Even when he took elixirs in the middle, he still showed that he had long-lasting strength.

Gu Wuji said: "No need, I have seen Xu Jieyuan's martial arts and Taoism, and I can't think of a way to break it. Gu is willing to admit defeat."

He thought very clearly that winning would only mean eating the pie in the sky set by the Duke of Wei.

He had seen Ren Tianyou's methods before, and he also had the red-haired Yan Kong to help him. Under normal circumstances, he was no match for Yan Kong, let alone this evil monk.

Gu Wuji weighed the pros and cons.

Since I lost, I could at least get a glimpse of the Xiantian Finger's skills, so why bother fighting so hard?

He just took out his own Tiangang Wuji Heart Sutra for Xu Qing to see.

The key point is that Xu Qing's martial arts and Taoist inheritance is even higher than his Tiangang Wuji Gong, so it doesn't make much difference whether he gives his mental method to Xu Qing or not. It can even distract Xu Qing's energy and make his practice more complicated.

Moreover, the path of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts is the most difficult. If Xu Qing embarks on this path, his hope of advancing to a martial arts master in the future will be much slimmer.

"Young people, you always have high aspirations and want everything. This will end up hurting yourself." A thought flashed through Gu Wuji's mind.

He even has some regrets about talent.

If Xu Qing concentrates on martial arts, at his age, he has a chance of becoming a martial arts saint, let alone a martial arts master.

Now that I have embarked on the most difficult path of cultivating both magic and martial arts, I really think that I am the reincarnation of "Master Chongyang" of Quanzhen Taoism.

Even though Gu Wuji valued talent, he did not remind him and was even secretly happy.

On the other hand, he gave in so quickly that Yan Fu was caught off guard.

He is still used to the arrogant and unruly look of Gu Wuji when he first came to the south. Please help him recover.

But Yan Fu didn't know what to say. He and the Five Elders of Zhongshan had failed to defeat Xu Qing, and hadn't even inflicted much damage on the other party. It would be a bit unreasonable to ask Gu Wuji to do the same.

As for Ren Tianyou, he was secretly looking forward to it. Yan Fu, you should be more alert and don't lose face for Duke Wei. Let Gu Wuji go first.

Unfortunately, Ren Tianyou was very disappointed.

Yan Fu pretended to be dead.

The eldest of the Five Elders of Zhongshan, Zhong Lao, also regretted secretly that he should not have taken action just now and lost his dignity all of a sudden. He wondered whether the offerings from Duke Wei would be reduced.

When they practice Taoism, they consume more resources than warriors of the same level.

Not only do I have to raise disciples and concubines... oh no, I have to raise a cauldron...

There are also festivals and sacrifices to ancestors and gods...

Well, in short, there are many rules and much consumption. If the offerings are less, it will not be enough to cover the expenses.

This world is difficult.

He even regretted that when the five brothers had successfully cultivated their spirits, they should have taken the imperial examination. With a strong spirit, even if they did not cheat and could endure hardships, they could make some achievements in eight-part essays and become an official.

But he had achieved spiritual success, practiced Taoism, was surrounded by people flattering him, and was a guest of honor in the Duke of Wei's mansion. How could he concentrate on studying?

Even in these years, there has been no improvement in the cultivation of his soul.

It is not necessary for practitioners to endure hardships, but if they indulge in enjoyment, their future achievements will surely be like trying to catch the moon in the water or drawing water with a bamboo basket.

Everyone knows the truth, but the environment is what it is.

When it comes to spiritual practice, enduring hardships may not necessarily lead to success; however, if you enjoy it, then you will truly enjoy it!
Everyone present had different thoughts.

However, the outcome was already determined.

King Lin looked confused. Who am I? Where am I?
Is this considered a win without any effort?

Fortunately, Xu Qing took the initiative to whisper in a secret message to comfort him: "Brother, thanks to you being by my side to intimidate them, otherwise what we are doing today would not be possible."

King Lin was comforted!

I almost couldn't help but say "thank you"!
Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with what Xu Qing said.

We are two brothers in the same life, why should we make such clear distinctions?

Ren Tianyou was naturally very accepting of the idea of ​​allocating a route to Lingnan to Xu Qing and Lin Tianwang to resolve the dispute.

What good would it be for him to capture King Lin and offend Xu Qing?

It just consumed the power of the Giant Whale Gang in his hands, giving Duke Wei the opportunity to seize power.

As for Yan Fu, there is nothing he can do if he refuses to accept it.

Ever since the appearance of Red-haired Yan Kong, the power in his hands was no longer enough to suppress Ren Tianyou. What's more, Ren Tianyou was not fooled and did not fight with Xu Qing and Lin Tianwang.

It would be just as difficult if the Duke came instead.

This is also the inherent weakness and compromise of the powerful and gentry class. If they can have absolute advantage and overwhelm the other side, they will naturally regard the other side as an ant.

Once you meet a tough guy, the first thing you think of is compromise, then wait for the other party to show weakness and flaws, and then pounce on him with your fangs and claws.

If not, and the other party has taken over the world, then it's very simple, just join and be done with it.

If you can beat them, fight to the death; if you can’t beat them, join them.

Aristocratic families never expect to be the highest mountain, they just hope to be the longest river.

If you encounter a mountain, avoid it; if you encounter a big river, join it!
Yan Fu himself is an extension of the will of Duke Wei, and his way of thinking is naturally in line with that of Duke Wei. When he has the idea of ​​compromise, the world will naturally be extraordinarily broad for him.

The Duke of Wei's Mansion is wealthy and powerful. Not to mention providing Xu Qing with a route, even if the Giant Whale Gang, a minion, is gone, it will not prevent the descendants of the Duke of Wei's Mansion's chief steward from living a life of luxury.

It was freezing cold, but he came out to help the Duke, and he really deserves the Duke's special treatment!
For a moment, the atmosphere on the field became particularly harmonious and everyone was happy.

It makes the red hair look out of place.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he quietly slipped back to the village.

He couldn't understand why Xu Qing was even more evil than him, like a devil.

I can’t stand it. I really can’t stand it at all.

After returning, the red-haired Yan Kong carefully analyzed every move Xu Qing had made, trying to understand the intentions behind it and the subtle mysteries of its operation.

Nowadays, even evil cults have to keep up with the times in order to deceive people.

...

...

After getting what he wanted, Xu Qing did not go into the village with Ren Tianyou and the others to eat, drink, or socialize.

I really went in, but I still didn’t know what was going on.

When I am at the mercy of others, they can regret whatever they want.

The interests you want are always gained through struggle.

Even though Xu Qing saw the internal discord between them this time and took the opportunity to disintegrate the other side, without the military deterrence of him and King Lin, he would not be able to take advantage of the situation again.

Even the diplomatic means at the level of butchering an ox are useless!
Even a chef needs a knife to butcher an ox. If you ask him to perform the trick of cutting into a gap with no thickness using his bare hands, it won't work.

The two brothers then returned to the ship brought by Xu Qing.

King Lin was generally happy.

Feng Wu came forward and checked Xu Qing's robe, and found that it was intact, but a little dirty.

In fact, with Xu Qing's ability, it is easy to use the power of transformation to remove the dust on his body. But in this way, it is impossible to form a strong contrast with the clean and tidy Lin Tianwang.

King Lin naturally wouldn't be so shameless as to get himself dirty to show how much effort he has put in.

Feng Wu also discovered that King Lin was indeed too clean, and his eyes couldn't help but look strange.

King Lin couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to talk about what Xu Qing had just done.

After hearing this, everyone found it incredible.

Even though Xu Qing has done many incredible things, this peace talk is somewhat unbelievable.

"It was said in books before that the great strategists of the Warring States period could make all the princes afraid when they were angry, and could bring peace to the world when they were at peace. I have seen this in my husband," Feng Wu praised.

King Lin also uttered a cultured sentence, "Gongming saved me this time, just like Lord Xinling saved Zhao, he was very manipulative and high-spirited."

Feng Wu rolled his eyes at King Lin and said, "Brother Lin, I don't like what you said. Xinling Jun was eventually suspected by the king and died in depression."

King Lin coughed and said, "If the old emperor had just treated Gongming unfairly, I would have rebelled against him."

Feng Wu pouted: "Brother Lin, you are almost like a traitor now."

King Lin said helplessly: "Sister-in-law, please don't target me, let's go back and celebrate."

Feng Wu looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing nodded slightly: "Let's go back."

"Okay." King Lin responded.

After seeing how Xu Qing had maneuvered and resolved the crisis on East Island in a casual and relaxed manner, King Lin subconsciously became a little more obedient to Xu Qing's words.

Unlike before, the tone was completely that of a partner.

Xu Qing felt slightly relieved about this.

Lin Tianwang and he were naturally of the same mind, and they could be said to be close friends, but it was better for a force to have a clear leader so as not to fall into premature internal friction. Fortunately, he had good luck, and with his own aura, he accomplished a feat like the one just now on Giant Whale Island.

God helps those who help themselves.

Xu Qing did not completely relax because of this.

He must continue to make himself stronger so that he can firmly grasp his destiny in his own hands.

In fact, it was a short-lived sense of crisis that had been forcing him to keep moving forward and become stronger.

Otherwise, his career at this stage is a far cry from his previous life. Normally, he could have enjoyed himself.

However, he still couldn't slack off.

Xu Qing was also wondering what would happen if he had a great career in the future and did not face the crisis of short life?
He thought of the current emperor and those emperors in the past who were good at political schemes...

By then, he probably won't be able to trust anyone around him.

Even Feng Wu.

Perhaps, only Mr. and Mrs. Li Gongyi can get some true comfort.

Because the wife will have unfavorable thoughts about her husband for the sake of her son, and the son will also want his father to return home early in order to inherit the business as soon as possible.

For the sake of her husband's family and her own interests, a daughter will choose to cooperate with brothers who will be beneficial to her future.

Alas, if it really comes to this, Mr. and Mrs. Li Gongqi will not be spared.

Xu Qing actually felt a little uncomfortable.

He studied literature and history in his previous life, and he knew that this kind of thing was bound to happen. It wasn't just the royal family, as long as the family was big and the business was big, this kind of thing would happen.

The more he understood, the more he couldn't help but think deeply about it.

This was actually because Xu Qing had just fought a great battle, his mind and spirit were excited and active, and he was comprehending the profound principles of heaven and earth, so it was natural for him to have these associations.

"When you are alone, you will inevitably become ruthless and have few desires. This is indeed a good way to protect yourself." Xu Qing understood more and more the saying "It's lonely at the top."

"I shouldn't think so much. Whether I can live to see that day is still unknown. There is always a way out. This is the beauty of life. There are always difficulties to overcome and mountains to climb..."

Xu Qingfu became excited again.

If there are no obstacles ahead and the road is smooth, even if you feel refreshed for a while, there will be endless emptiness afterwards.

He had read a sentence in his previous life that the biggest enemies in life are loneliness and boredom, not difficulties.

Since life exists, we must always strive for progress!
Xu Qing quickly regained his inner peace, as if his soul had been tempered and became more solid.

The next step, apart from going back to celebrate, was to start looking for Liubo Mountain.

...

...

The news of the Battle of Giant Whale Island quickly spread among the pirates in the East China Sea.

Ren Tianyou did not deliberately conceal this matter, and he should not have concealed it. The more he highlighted Xu Qing, the more correct his decision in this matter seemed.

This is also an explanation to the subordinates and to the Duke of Wei.

The only bad thing is that it will damage Ren Tianyou's prestige.

But compared to the illusory prestige, temporarily eliminating the claws of Duke Wei reaching out to seize power is a more profitable deal.

What's more, there is no need to fight to the death with Xu Qing and Lin Tianwang.

The details of this battle were also spread in the East China Sea through the Giant Whale Gang, King Lin and Xu Qing's people, and even entered the underworld in the southeast.

Although it is a detail, it will naturally become distorted as it is passed on.

But there is no doubt that Xu Jieyuan's military prowess was recognized by the East China Sea pirates.

They were fighters on the sea, and they knew that if Xu Qing's knife was not so powerful, a big East China Sea gang like the Giant Whale Gang would never give in.

There were also storytellers on the sea who seemed to have witnessed the battle with their own eyes.

Many warriors gathered on an island within the Dongming Gang's sphere of influence.

These warriors are basically Japanese pirates from Fuso, and they are the real Japanese.

There are two forces on Fuso Island today, one is the native Fuso Wa people, and the other is the Dongyi people.

The Dongyi people were a rebel force when the previous dynasty collapsed. After being defeated by Emperor Taizu of Dayu, they crossed the sea to Fuso Island and multiplied and formed a powerful force.

They have a blood feud with the Dayu Dynasty.

In order to demonstrate its legitimacy, the Dayu Dynasty uniformly called the descendants of this rebel army the Dongyi people.

Because the Dongyi people are now the most powerful people on Fuso Island, the officials of the Dayu Dynasty wishfully believe that the Japanese pirates fleeing from Fuso Island are all Dongyi people.

In fact, there were not many Dongyi people among the Japanese pirates. Most of the Japanese pirates were Fuso Japanese who were driven away by the Dongyi people from Fuso Island.

But the Dongyi people were misunderstood by the Dayu Dynasty and were too lazy to explain.

They are not strong enough now, otherwise they would counterattack the Dayu Dynasty and return to their homeland.

They would be happy to see the defeated Japanese people of Fuso harass the Dayu Dynasty and weaken its power, and even secretly provide funding.

These Japanese people, who have drifted overseas, are now located in the southern part of the East China Sea. Their influence is constantly extending southward, and they are cooperating with the powerful families along the coast to form a loose alliance, the Dongming Gang.

The leader of the Dongming Gang is Princess Dongming, who is said to have the blood of Emperor Fuso.

She has a group of powerful warriors under her command, and she herself is also unfathomable, so she has a lot of say in the Dongming Gang.

This island is a major stronghold within the Dongming Gang’s sphere of influence, and its name is Dongming Island.

The island is now densely populated and has taken on the look of a civilian town, with markets, restaurants, etc.

Now an old storyteller brought his granddaughter to the restaurant to tell the story of the battle between the Giant Whale Gang.

Mainly because he is the protagonist of this battle, he also has a special identity.

He is a scholar.

He was not only a scholar, but also the top scholar in Nanzhili and the top scholar in the provincial examination.

Many warriors did not understand what Jieyuan meant, but when they heard that the scholar ranked first, they felt a little awe in their hearts.

Because although the Japanese people in Fuso burned, killed and looted along the coast of the Dayu Dynasty, they also admired the culture of the Celestial Empire.

Scholars are the ones who control the lifeline of culture.

As the top scholar in Nanzhili Province, he naturally has a sacred halo in their eyes.

"Ren Tianyou, nicknamed 'Eye of the East China Sea', has great magical powers and outstanding swordsmanship. How could such a man be defeated by Xu Jieyuan?" A warrior interrupted and asked. Even if Xu Qing had another halo, he still couldn't believe it.

The old storyteller smiled and said, "Dear reader, please listen to my detailed explanation."

He spoke in a leisurely manner as if he had witnessed the battle that day with his own eyes, and he mentioned all the details fluently.

Not only that, but then came Yan Fu and the Five Elders of Zhongshan.

Wonderful swordsmanship, bizarre knife skills, terrifying Taoist magic...

All the warriors were fascinated by what they heard.

The thought that these famous figures in Nanzhili and Donghai could not defeat Xu Qing in a round-robin battle made him even more amazed.

In the end, the great master from the north, the leader of the Zhengang Sect, actually surrendered without a fight. Everyone despised him and was also quite shocked.

A powerful master always thinks that he is the protagonist of the story and has a very high spirit. If he really feels that he cannot win, how can he admit defeat directly?

Being able to make a famous man surrender without a fight, Xu Qing's power is self-evident, and it also planted the seeds of mystery in the hearts of the warriors.

The Japanese people in Japan have the habit of superstitiously believing that strong people are gods. Under the influence of the storytellers' exaggeration, they naturally and subconsciously regard Xu Qing as the reincarnation of a god.

It was a brilliant battle, which was performed to the extreme by the storyteller.

After it was over, the storyteller took the little girl away, but the warriors were still savoring the aftertaste.

...

...

After the storyteller left, he took the little girl to a small courtyard on the island.

He told the little girl to play outside, and he sneaked in, opened the mechanism, and entered the underground secret room.

Soon, a pine oil lamp was lit.

"Greetings, Lord Baihu."

The person the old storyteller met turned out to be a centurion of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"Old man Sun, your identity is secret and you have a little girl with you. Aren't you afraid that you will be implicated one day?"

"Her whole family was killed in the rebellion of Japanese pirates, leaving only her. I found her in a straw pile when I passed by. After all, she is a life, so I tried to save her if I could." The old storyteller sighed.

His actual identity is a spy for the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Among the East China Sea pirates, he works for the Embroidered Uniform Guard through the identity of a storyteller.

Now it is taken over by the centurion sent down from above.

Bai Hu did not dwell on this matter, but said directly:
"Your mission this time is very important. The higher-ups asked you to focus on promoting Xu Gongming's deeds in order to plant the seeds of fear in the hearts of these pirates. Soon, the imperial court's Jinghai Guard will arrive and work together with Xu Gongming and his men to clear out the pirates along the coast."

"Sir, is the court really serious this time?"

"Yes, I think the will of the higher-ups is very firm this time. What's more, Xu Jieyuan is a very powerful figure and he will be able to do something. We, the people below, can only count on these big guys..." The captain sighed softly.

They are at the bottom of society and can witness the miserable conditions of the people with their own eyes, but they are powerless to do anything and sometimes even have to help the evil.

But conscience still exists.

I just don’t know how to do it, and I won’t abandon my family and risk my life to do it.

He knew Xu Jieyuan well, and he knew that he was different from other wealthy and powerful people.

At least if he asked himself, over the past thousands of years, there were masters who were willing to help the imperial court to survey the land. Although there were none, they were rare.

Even if he ends up being Sima Yi in the novel, he hopes that there are more people like him in the world today.

...

...

Xu Qing naturally didn't know about the imperial court's plan among the East China Sea pirates.

After analysis by Feng Wu and Gao Gongyuan, the location of Liubo Mountain was roughly determined to be two hundred miles outside the influence of the Giant Whale Gang and within the influence of the Dongming Gang.

"Mr. Jie Yuan, this sea area is often shrouded in sea fog and powerful sea beasts. In addition, there are often ships from the Dongming Gang hunting sea beasts in it. Even if we find the place Madam mentioned, I'm afraid it will be difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of the Dongming Gang."

Although the location of Liubo Mountain is constantly changing, it will not move quickly. If we want to wait for it to leave this sea area, it may take several months.

And there is also the possibility of being discovered by the Dongming Gang.

Or maybe the Dongming Gang has discovered this mountain, but they don’t know what benefits this mountain has…

In the end, delay brings disaster, and the longer the night, the more dreams you will have.

Gao Gongyuan continued to analyze that if they encountered the main ships of the Dongming Gang and engaged in a naval battle, their chances of winning would not be great.

Because behind the Dongming Gang, there are Fang Xiandao and Heshandao supporting them.

Taoism at sea will not be suppressed by the dynasty's luck and can show its due power. This is also the reason why the imperial army found it difficult to subdue the chieftains in Lingnan.

These remote areas are not subject to the king's rule and are supported by the Heshan Dao or the witches. In addition, the terrain is complex and there are many miasma. It is very costly to conquer them and it is easy to relapse.

Since ancient times, people have only fought when they had no choice, and then tried to appease the enemy, over and over again, slowly bringing about the dominance of the king.

The Fangxian Dao prospered in the previous dynasty, but is now in decline and scattered overseas, but is showing signs of rising again.

The Dongming Gang is just one of the forces they pushed to the forefront, and there are many open and covert struggles between it and the Heshan Dao.

In short, Fang Xiandao mainly supports the fake Japanese within the Dongming Gang. Most of them are local people from the coastal areas and have close ties with local nobles.

Heshan Dao supports Zhenwo.

"Mr. Jie Yuan, I think we can't go alone. It would be best if we had the help of the imperial navy."

He didn't dare to ask the Giant Whale Gang or the Sea Sand Gang for help. After all, if they really came to help, he would be afraid, not to mention Xu Jieyuan.

Xu Qing nodded slightly. He had already received the news from his mentor Wu.

Old Wu came at the right time.

Xu Qing even judged that this matter might be planned by a big shot in the central government.

"Prime Minister?" A person flashed through Xu Qing's mind.

"Hmph, you always ask me to handle any difficult problems. One day, I will be able to handle you too." Xu Qing snorted secretly, and then his mind calmed down.

Just wait.
