#507 - We have our own business

After Xiao Mo Chi heard Xu Ming's last sentence, he couldn't help but fall into silence.

His originally refined eyes instantly became sharp.

However, this sharpness was not directed at Xu Ming.

Xiao Mo Chi took a sip of tea indifferently.

Silence fell in the study.

Xiao Mo Chi didn't expect that Xiao Liu would actually say these things to Xu Ming.

"That fellow Xiao Liu was already causing trouble back in White Deer Academy, often stealing the dean's chickens and ducks, and then blaming it on me. Now, he's even telling you, a junior, all sorts of nonsense," Xiao Mo Chi shook his head.

Xu Ming remained silent.

Xiao Mo Chi put down his teacup and slowly said:

"Xu Ming, some things are better known than unknown, and this matter is not related to you juniors. What you have to do is to judge based on the future situation of the world.

Just as Xiao Liu said, no matter what happens next, you don't need to take action, just watch from the sidelines.

This matter is beyond the reach of you younger generation."

Xu Ming shook his head: "Since the student already knows, then I cannot truly stand idly by. As long as it is something the student can do, I will naturally do it.

Moreover, Mr. Xiao, who in this world can truly stand idly by?

The student has always heard people say that a great calamity is about to befall the world.

Under this great calamity, can anyone truly escape unscathed?"

Xiao Mo Chi stood up, with his hands behind his back, opened the window, and looked outside.

Xu Ming waited for Xiao Mo Chi's answer.

But in the end, Xiao Mo Chi just shook his head: "Xu Ming, what do you think is the relationship between cultivators and mortals now?"

Xu Ming was taken aback, not expecting Mr. Xiao to suddenly ask such a question.

Xu Ming thought for a moment and replied seriously: "Now cultivators are high above, regarding mortals as nothing."

This was indeed the answer Xu Ming had obtained.

Xu Ming had traveled outside for a long time and had encountered many cultivators. Xu Ming just felt that those cultivators did not treat people as "people".

"Indeed, that's how it is."

Xiao Mo Chi nodded.

"Most cultivators have a sense of superiority, even those who are righteous. Don't think that they appear approachable in front of mortals. In reality, these people treat ordinary mortals as they would treat ordinary animals.

It's just that these animals look similar to them and also have spirituality.

Not to mention in other countries, even in our Wu Kingdom, haven't you seen the evil deeds done by those cultivators in the mountains?"

Xu Ming chewed on the words Xiao Mo Chi had just said, raised his head, and asked: "Mr. Xiao, what do you mean?"

Xiao Mo Chi turned around and looked at Xu Ming with a smile: "Don't try to guess, you can't guess what we are going to do, and there is no way to answer your question.

I said, these things are not actually your business, Xu Ming.

Each generation has its own responsibilities. It can only be said that this is the last thing we can do for you.

The future belongs to you young people.

And what we can do is to try our best to create better conditions for you, but the world ahead will depend on you."

Xu Ming: "."

Xiao Mo Chi smiled and said: "I still have some official duties to deal with, and I have to go to the palace later, I'm afraid I can't keep you company any longer."

Xu Ming knew that Mr. Xiao was issuing an order to leave.

Xu Ming stood up and bowed to Xiao Mo Chi: "Then I won't disturb Mr. Xiao any longer. Please continue with your work, Mr. Xiao, but... Mr. Xiao, I also have a word to say about what you just said."

Xiao Mo Chi made a "please" gesture: "Xu Ming, you may speak freely."

"I heard that when Mr. Xiao was ten years old, he filed a lawsuit for a woman, seeking only fairness. At that time, did Mr. Xiao think that this was just an adult's affair?"

Xu Ming bowed.

"This student will take his leave first."

Xu Ming walked out of the study and, led by a maid, walked towards the outside of the Prime Minister's residence.

And in Xiao Mo Chi's mind, Xu Ming's words just now echoed.

In the end, Xiao Mo Chi just smiled.

After returning to the Princess's mansion, Xu Ming told Wu Yanhan about his conversation with Xiao Mo Chi.

Wu Yanhan could also guess what her father and Mr. Xiao wanted to do.

However, Wu Yanhan had always heard that her father and Mr. Xiao's relationship had not been so good recently.

It seemed that because Mr. Xiao was in a high position of power, the Emperor had always been wary of Mr. Xiao.

But looking at the current situation, their relationship seemed to be very good again, after all, they were plotting great things together.

Perhaps, in today's world, the only person who knows what they want to do is that Prime Minister Fang.

But how could that Prime Minister Fang possibly say it?

Days passed by day by day.

The time for the Ten Thousand Dharma Assembly was getting closer and closer. More and more sects were sending cultivators to Wudu to participate in this grand event.

In fact, many sects felt very confused about this Ten Thousand Dharma Assembly.

In the past, although the Ten Thousand Dharma Assembly also required the sect leader to come, in reality, how could they really send the sect leader?

Basically, it was enough to send a Great Elder or other high-level sect member, and the Wu Kingdom would usually turn a blind eye.

After all, in the eyes of these sects, our coming is already giving you enough face, you have to give us some face no matter what, right?

But this time it was different. This time, Emperor Wu clearly stipulated and emphasized that the sect leader must come.

If the sect leader was temporarily unable to come and could not get away.

Then the number two person in the sect must come with the sect's token.

Many sects were already guessing what Emperor Wu wanted to do this time, and even felt that it would be detrimental to them.

But these sects were just thinking about it.

After all, the people who came to participate in the Ten Thousand Dharma Assembly were all cultivators from the mountains, and their realms were not low, with Jade Purity Realm, and even a few Immortal Realm cultivators.

What? Could it be that Emperor Wu still wants to tear up the face with us and wipe us all out?

Does he have the guts?

Let alone whether he has the guts.

Does he really have the strength?

Therefore, although most sect leaders did not know what the Wu Kingdom wanted to do, they were still very calm in their hearts.

This time's Ten Thousand Dharma Assembly will definitely have Emperor Wu announce something, and it will be a big deal, but it will definitely not be about them.

Finally, the day of the Ten Thousand Dharma Assembly finally arrived.

The weather on this day did not seem to be very good. Dark clouds floated in the sky, making people feel a bit depressed.
