"Stinky boy, who do you say is an antique?" A sharp voice came from the phone.

I hurriedly patted my ass, "Ah, isn't this Elder A, I haven't seen you for many years, you are still so tough, this voice sounds like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man." The last time I saw Elder C, although he is younger than you, his voice sounds much older than yours, and I guess you must be younger, handsome, handsome and dashing than him......"

"Don't pour me ecstasy soup less. "Elder A knows that I am a sycophant, but from the tone of his voice, he doesn't seem to be as angry as he was just now. It seems that my sycophant is very effective.

"What I say is the truth, and the truth can't be more sincere, don't believe it. Those people around you are afraid of you and don't dare to say it, but I don't, you know me, I can't hold back my words, I usually say whatever I want, you say that I want to hold it in my stomach, or say something against my will, then I can't get through it on my conscience. "I continued to slap my horse.

I know this old man too well, and the anger comes and goes quickly, it's up to you to use the right method.

The old man loves to eat this set, and he says no, but in fact, he doesn't think so in his heart. If I give him what he wants, and coax him to be happy, then things will be much easier.

After a few sycophantic shots, this old man was really praised by me, "Your mouth is really eloquent, and the dead can be said to be alive by you." ”

"Everything, I'm telling the truth, look at you, why don't you believe it. "Will I admit it, of course not, although this is something that everyone knows, but it must be killed and can't admit it, once I admit it, all the efforts made before will be in vain.

Old man A smiled "hehe", suddenly felt that he seemed to be out of shape, and quickly restrained his smile again, "That...... I have come to you to warn you, and do not instigate the master of our house in the future. You're an old fritter, our master is still a little girl who hasn't been in the world, you are so embarrassed to instigate her. ”

I hurriedly called myself wronged, "How can this be called instigation, I'm helping you." Think about it, the Phantom Gang is now all over the world, looking for cultivators everywhere, you Tianyin have so many masters, can they let you go? Definitely not, then you say, if they besiege you at that time, what will you do? Resist? How many members do you Tianyin have in total, do you know how many members the Phantom Gang has now? Compared with others, you are hitting stones with eggs, do you know?"

"Do you still think that I am instigating you to harm you, I am helping you, my good intentions, why don't you understand? Hey, if it weren't for the fact that Han Yanxue is my godsister, I wouldn't be too lazy to tell you these words, I can't be busy with my own affairs, how can I have the leisure to take care of other people's affairs......"

I said a lot of things, all around the topic of the disparity in strength between the Tianyin and the Phantom Gang, I just want them to know, to let them recognize the reality, even if you don't go to make trouble for others, it doesn't mean that people won't make trouble for you.

There was silence on the phone, and I knew that the old man was moved by what I said, and was now in a state of vacillation.

It's a good time to strike while the iron is hot, and it's hard to find another opportunity if you miss this shop.

"I said, what are you hesitating about, are you waiting for someone to come to the door and you will find a way to fight back, I tell you, when it really comes to that time, it will be late, and the daylily will be cold. ”

The old man retorted to me, "Then how can you guarantee that after cooperating with you, we Tianyin will be able to get along." ”

I have to make it clear, "First of all, if you don't cooperate with us, you will definitely be able to get along, but it will give you more strength and more guarantees." After all, I am pulling you to partner, not for you to come to me, I will definitely be able to protect you, these are two concepts. Secondly, there doesn't seem to be anyone else or gang organizing their own rebellion against the Phantoms right now, do you have a better choice?"

There was silence on the other end of the line, and I knew that the old man must be pondering my words.

I struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Even if you Tianyin don't want to join, there are sects and gangs that want to join, and I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible, this matter is without further ado." In addition, I would like to tell you that I decided to take the initiative and strike first. Because we don't know who the Phantoms will attack first, we might as well resist rather than sit back and wait, you say?"

"The stakes are high, but it's useless for me to decide alone, I need to consult with the other elders. What this means is that there is a play, at least, there is a 50 percent chance of a play.

That's more than half the battle, and I said, "Then I'll stare at you." ”

I don't rush or force them to make a decision as soon as possible, I just need to instill this kind of thinking in their minds and make them aware of the dangers lurking and realize that it is only possible to overcome unknown dangers by uniting together, and that's enough.

As for the rest, I think the outcome will be as I imagined.

In the afternoon, I received a call from Mr. Xiong, who told me, "There is no problem on my side, all the major sects are already on the way to Rongcheng one after another, and the fastest will be tomorrow, and the slowest will be three or four days." ”

I asked, "How many sects are there?"

"There are more than a dozen. The old man said.

A dozen, quite a few.

What age is it now, and it is really not easy for the gang to survive.

Before they came, I couldn't be idle, and I always attached great importance to my proposal to Abin.

Every day is busy, and I feel like I am fighting with time, and I can't stop for a moment.

The progress on the martial arts hall side is not going well, mainly because it is difficult to recruit people.

Everybody's busy, everybody's rushing to make money.

They don't waste their time on these nonsense things, and if you tell them there might be danger, no one will believe them.

Because they are all people who live in a state of comfort, they have not experienced the things that have left them alone, and they have not realized what we mean by danger.

For them, martial arts is far from the reality of making money, and it is real.

Ah Bin seemed to have expected it a long time ago, very calm, very calm, and did not react much.

The others just complained slightly, because they couldn't understand why I would make such a decision, and even Lu Xiaofeng and Pei Xiaofei were not on my side.

Lu Xiaofeng has never beaten around the bush, he will say whatever he wants, he said, "Master, what are you doing, look at it, we don't practice anymore, we all come to the street to pull people, but few people are willing to come, people think that we are soliciting business, what you say, no one believes it at all." Besides, let's just take care of ourselves, why do we care about so many people, we are not saviors. ”

"Little wind. Pei Xiaofei pulled Lu Xiaofeng's arm and motioned him to stop talking, "Master, Xiaofeng doesn't mean anything else, don't take it to heart." ”

I won't take it to heart, I'm just thinking about what Lu Xiaofeng just said.

We are not saviors, we cannot save everyone.

I'm not a big hero, and I never thought I could save people, I never was.

A person who can't even protect his comrades-in-arms is worthy of being a hero, not worthy at all.

I didn't want to be a hero at all, but every time like this, there seemed to be a voice in my heart saying: You can't give up other people's lives and safety because of your selfishness and cowardice. You are not responsible, but what about your dead compatriots, will they watch those people in danger and ignore them? Don't think about it so much, because everything you do is for your dead brothers, you are helping them fulfill their wishes, you are helping them do what they did not do in the rest of their lives.

Too easy.

"Xiaofeng, come here. I patted the chair next to me and motioned for Lu Xiaofeng to sit down.

"Master, I don't mean anything else, don't scold me. "Lu Xiaofeng sat next to me and kept a certain distance from me.

I stared into the distance and said lightly, "You tell Master, what is your original intention in learning martial arts?"

"Become stronger, become very strong and strong, and fight invincible opponents all over the world. Lu Xiaofeng suddenly came to his senses, and the decibel level of his speech increased a lot.

I looked at his hopeful face and asked, "And then?"

"Then ......" Lu Xiaofeng scratched his head and fell into confusion, "No, then, when I first learned martial arts, I did think like this, and I didn't think about the rest." ”

"I still remember that when I first met you, you were like this, arrogant and didn't take anyone seriously, but I convinced you with a few tricks. You must have been very upset and uncomfortable at that time, right?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled awkwardly, "Master, why did you suddenly talk about this." Yes, I was really upset and uncomfortable, but at the same time, I realized my shortcomings. It turns out that this world is really outside the world, there are people outside the sky, there are heavens outside the sky!"

"Yes, this world has always been a world where people are outside the world, and this world is a world where the strong bully the weak. "I looked at Lu Xiaofeng and sought him with my eyes, do you think what I said is right?

Lu Xiaofeng scratched his head in embarrassment, "Master, don't look at me like that, I know it's wrong, you see how well-behaved and obedient I am, and I never cause trouble." ”

I smiled and patted him on the shoulder twice, "Yes, today, let the teacher see your progress, see your growth, be happy for you, be proud, and sincerely excited for you." ”
