Xue Yan often watched literary pot dramas in his spare time in his previous life, and he knew that there were many novels, TV series, etc., and they all liked to do something about the reputation of the protagonist to highlight the difference of the protagonist.

In fact, in ancient times, this "difference" was the most fearful.

In the eyes of the ancients, reputation can be had, but you must have all kinds of external factors that are convincing, otherwise it is easy to cause all kinds of disputes - this is the so-called "wood show in the forest wind will destroy it".

If he Xue Yan, who is 50 or 60 years old this year, has a reputation among the people for being kind and charitable, and if there is any rumor that he has saved many people, under normal circumstances, the impact will not be too great, and no one will jump out and shout.

But this is under the "general situation".

There is another situation, while paying attention to the individual's character, you also have to pay attention to the general environment, and think clearly about the consequences of gaining this reputation.

Because this is a feudal monarchy, a large part of the good reputation in the world is exclusive to the heavenly family - ordinary people "get" this kind of reputation, and if they are not careful, they will die.

For example, Jia Baoyu, who was born with jade.

Even the emperor himself was born without jade, and this baby actually came to this show! It is unbelievable that he can even grow up in a good way without being killed!

Xue Yan felt that this might be due to Jia Baoyu's capture of Zhou and Rouge.

- Ah, count the days, Jia Baoyu is already one year old. I don't know when Mrs. Wang's letter will arrive......

Ahem, let's get back to business.

Xue Yan's current situation is the second type, and it is even more complicated.

As mentioned above, Xue Yan deduced from various clues that the Prince Yizhong who had been defeated in the Red Mansion was still the crown prince at this time.

This shows that the change of throne is not yet over, and it is still in the "calm before the storm" stage, and any wind and grass may have a great impact.

What if at such a tense moment, let people know that there is a "savior" in Jinling?

Xue Yan can fully imagine that no matter how old he is, he will become a fragrant bait that everyone is fighting for!

――Pure target-style "fragrant dumplings"!

Even if he runs away to become a monk immediately, it will be purely a small life, and he will have to spend the rest of his life under house arrest......

Thinking of this, Xue Yan broke out in a cold sweat

-- As for the truth of the evil spirit, Xue Yan did not doubt it much.

This is another phantom call, and it is the manifestation of a dead man, and he can see the changes before and after the black stone, oh no, it is the before and after changes of the relics, and if he continues to insist on not believing it, he can only play and approach science.

And once he accepted this setting, Xue Yan felt that it was not unusual for anything strange to happen. ――

As if he didn't know that Xue Yan's heart was in all kinds of turbulent waves, Hui Yuan said to himself:

"Fortunately, the little donor Xue took action in time, Jinling was able to turn the corner from danger, and this credit is the little donor's, and no one can doubt it...... If the little donor is worried about the suspicion of others, the old man is willing to correct the name of the little donor. ”

Listening to Hui Yuan's serious words, the corners of Xue Yan's mouth almost twitched.

Master, are you joking? Or do you really think so?

Well, if he didn't understand the hidden Tao in this, and Huiyuan opened his mouth—oh, I can't say that the other party would join forces with other monks and Taoist priests present at the time—and no one would dare to refute him receiving this "credit".

But Xue Yan knew that this "credit" could not be received, so he had to "not know the hearts of good people".

Xue Yan was pondering how to open his mouth to refuse, but Hui Yuan saw that the former's reaction was not happy, so he said, "Could it be that Xue Xiao's benefactor is unwilling to take this credit?"

Xue Yan blinked, looked at Hui Yuan and smiled, and said, "The master's words are bad, the kid can only memorize one or two scriptures, how can he say that he has the credit?"

"Amitabha. Huiyuan seemed to understand what Xue Yan meant.

Because of Huiyuan's temptation here, Xue Yan, who knew that he had inexplicably become a savior, calmed down a little.

Xue Yan was not a person who sat idly by.

In the same way, he does not want to be at the mercy of others.

...... It is very unrealistic to gain the dominance, he can only try to fight for it and plan what is beneficial to him.

- This is also the reason why Xue Yan came to talk to Hui Yuan, instead of directly saying that he didn't know anything.

It's just that Xue Yan didn't expect that this situation would be so "unfavorable" to him, alas!

Obviously, Huiyuan's temptation was instigated by the person behind him - I don't know if the content of the temptation is the original words.

Xue Yan sensed that Huiyuan was saying this out of kindness, but the content was really ...... Like a fish in the throat?

Regarding the handling of the "evil", Xue Yan has noticed it to some extent, and Huiyuan and the people behind him actually don't want this matter to be exposed.

The consequences of this matter being exposed, Xue Yan said with his rich reading experience that he could estimate at least a dozen or so!

However, he thinks that the other party's biggest concern is obviously the current situation.

There will be such concerns, the person behind Huiyuan is not the prince, and he is also one of the important allies of the prince.

The battle for the throne has always been a matter of victory and not defeat, even if it is a small point difference, it can lead to a full plate.

Therefore, Xue Yan understands very well that the prince and his allies can avoid many things if they can avoid them, and if they can't avoid them, they are best controlled in their own hands.

If Xue Yan insists on fame, there is no doubt that the evil things will be exposed, and the impact on the situation will be both unpredictable and extremely enormous--in this way, Xue Yan will not benefit himself, nor will the other party;

On the contrary, if he does not want fame, the other party can let go of his hands and feet, and minimize the influence of evil, even as if it had never happened at all - it is certain that the people behind Huiyuan want to deal with it in this way.

However, the person behind Hui Yuan was able to signal Hui Yuan to come over to test it, apparently after careful analysis, he understood that he was the only variable in this matter - and from this, he got a chance to operate and profit.

Moreover, although Xue Yan thinks that the golden finger that he can chant the scriptures that he somehow obtained is strange and does not know what the use is.

But that doesn't mean everyone else thinks so!

"Mystery" is sometimes a kind of power.

According to the general belief of the public, this mysterious power cannot be used for oneself, at least not by letting go, so that the opponent is cheapened for nothing!

Even if you destroy yourself, you can't do it!

-- With this kind of speculation, combined with his own actual situation, Xue Yan had a flash of inspiration, and immediately thought of a countermeasure that could be said to be a "win-win" situation.

However, there is a way, but he must also make a decision immediately.

Thinking about it, Xue Yan sighed in his heart.

But the so-called decision, that is, he went to do it himself and prepared it mentally.

...... I never expected that this day would come so early.

Xue Yan smiled bitterly in his heart: But he can only take this path, isn't it?
