A Gentleman Sees Some Things and Not Others!

Hua Xichen used to think he was like Chu Xinghe...

Now Hua Xichen understands that it's not like that. Chu Xinghe is someone you can't really hate, even if you're his enemy.

Back then, Chu Xinghe killed many geniuses of the Spirit Beast Continent in a fit of rage for Ji Moran, and even Hua Xichen, who had mastered the Great Prophecy Art at the time, almost lost his life.

However, Hua Xichen later learned from various sources that the Cloud Firmament Sect and the Vast Heaven Sect at the time did not have a good relationship, and the Cloud Firmament Sect had even engaged in many self-destructive acts.

Even under these circumstances, Chu Xinghe still stood up for Ji Moran.

If I could treat others with the same benevolence and righteousness as Chu Xinghe, would I become the Chu Xinghe of the Hua Clan?

Hua Xichen knew... it was impossible...

Chu Xinghe's success today is not solely due to his unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, but also to countless other factors. Therefore, everything Chu Xinghe has achieved in the Vast Heaven Holy Land is unique and cannot be replicated.

If I were to truly treat the Hua Clan with kindness and righteousness, there would be only one outcome: I would be eaten alive, leaving not even bones behind.

"I have often heard of Brother Xinghe's unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, and today I have witnessed it Xichen. With Brother Xinghe's help this time, regardless of success or failure, Xichen, thank you!"

Hua Xichen clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chu Xinghe.

Hua Xichen didn't say anything more. "You treat me with sincerity, and I will repay you with sincerity in return!"

In the following days, Hua Xichen and Chu Xinghe agreed on a departure time, which was to be set for half a month later.

Hua Xichen did not expect Chu Xinghe to actually help him when he came to Vast Heaven Holy Land; he only came with the idea of giving it a try.

Now that he has received Chu Xinghe's affirmative answer, Hua Xichen must first rush back to the Hua Clan to arrange everything for his mother. Half a month later, Hua Xichen will meet Chu Xinghe in the Bewildered Heart City, which is next to the Land of Bewildered Spirits in the Spirit Beast Continent.

After Hua Xichen left Vast Heaven Holy Land quietly, Shen Chun immediately informed the Grand Elder of everything that had happened to Hua Xichen.

Upon hearing the news brought by Shen Chun, the First Elder's eyes were filled with relief.

The Grand Elder asked Xinghe Shen Chun to tell Xinghe to consider it himself. In fact, the main purpose of this consideration was to remind Xinghe if he felt it was troublesome, he could refrain from taking action; if he felt it was worthwhile, he should remember to seek sufficient benefits.

After all, once Hua Xichen regains his Great Prophecy Art, he will still be the sole leader of the Hua Clan in the Future. To a certain extent, Hua Xichen's promise is no different from the promise of the Hua clan Clan Head Hua.

The Grand Elder even considered that if Xinghe was unable to speak, it wouldn't be impossible to arrange for Ma Liang to go and talk to Hua Xichen.

Given Ma Liang's methods, Ma Liang would never give up until he had completely extracted all of Hua Xichen's urine.

But the Grand Elder never dreamed that... Xinghe didn't make any demands... or rather, Xinghe didn't make any requests regarding benefits.

Xinghe's only requirement for Hua Xichen is that he become a comrade-in-arms whom he can entrust his back to in the Future, and that he fight for the common people and risk his life for them!

Even the Grand Elder fell silent when he heard Shen Chun say these words.

It's too small... it's too narrow-minded!

This time, the Grand Elder said that he was truly old... not only was he old, but his perspective was also becoming smaller and smaller.

He was only thinking about how to gain various benefits from Hua Xichen, but now his family was the Vast Heaven Holy Land, not the Vast Heaven Sect...

To be honest, given the current strength of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, does it really lack those benefits?

If we were to actually offer Hua Xichen various benefits, even something as seemingly insignificant as getting Ma Liang to offer the most drastic deal, would it truly be of substantial help to the Vast Heaven Holy Land?

And once that happens, it all becomes a complete transaction.

Even when Hua Xichen came, he was prepared for this to be a transaction. The Grand Elder and everyone else thought it should be a transaction.

However, Xinghe took this originally planned transaction to a level it shouldn't have reached!

Xinghe's actions this time, seemingly without offering any conditions favorable to him, actually yielded him a comrade-in- Xinghe he could entrust his back to, and Hua Xichen, who would fight to the death for him.

Sincerity is the most powerful weapon in the world. Xinghe moved Hua Xichen with his sincerity. Although Xinghe did not win any resources for the sect this time, he won Hua Xichen's heartfelt respect.

In the Future, no matter what difficulties or dangers Xinghe or Vast Heaven Holy Land encounter, as long as Xinghe speaks up, Hua Xichen will definitely come to help from thousands of miles away, and it will be the kind of help that one can entrust with their life!

Xinghe's move was tantamount to Future bringing the entire Hua Clan under his control.

Everyone says that Xinghe's open schemes are adept at manipulating people's hearts, but in the eyes of the Grand Elder, Xinghe has never intended to manipulate anyone. Xinghe simply chose to show sincerity that others are unwilling to easily offer in this treacherous world!

Chu Xinghe didn't know what sincerity was...

But Chu Xinghe knew... if helping Lucky General Hua really succeeded, then the ten million Blood Spirit Stones would definitely be lost!

With Hua Xichen's Great Prophecy Art activated, all those phantoms of Chu Xinghe, all those Power of the Heavenly Dao... the Great Prophecy Art has arrived... get out of the way!

Our Vast Heaven Holy Land simply doesn't have that many ten million Blood Spirit Stones... In order to keep our promise, I, Chu Xinghe, will directly compensate Hua Xichen with the entire Blood Spirit Ore.

That's Blood Spirit Stone mine... If I lose this round, forget about reaching the Ninth Rank... even Martial God couldn't stop me!

This Lucky General Hua is flawless!

While excited, Chu Xinghe also became more cautious.

Look at that bastard Ma Liang... I used to think you, Ma Liang, were my Lucky General Ma, but it turns out you're just a fake lucky charm. My real lucky charm is only Lucky General Hua Chu Xinghe!

Aside from Lucky General Hua, all you other fake Fujiangs are just thinking about how to betray me all day long!

So, Lucky General Hua, we'll depart in fifteen days. During these fifteen days, not only Lucky General Hua go back to make proper arrangements, but I, Chu Xinghe, also need to make all the necessary arrangements in advance.

Otherwise, I'd be out there conquering cities and Lucky General Hua, slaughtering everything in sight, only to come back and... holy crap... my home's gone...

What should we do?

Therefore, in these fifteen days, I must nip any potential backstabbing in the bud and absolutely not give these bastards any chance to sneak into my territory.

First, regarding Spirit Crane Palace... Mu Bai isn't in much trouble... Right now, Mu Bai's biggest job is training Mu Xiaoqi every day... I heard that Mu Xiaoqi has even started researching how to develop Civil Engineering Department elemental talents and join the ranks of the Civil Engineering Department disciples.

After all, no matter how miserable the students of the Civil Engineering Department are, they can't be as miserable as Mu Xiaoqi is now.

I heard that these past few days, many of my junior classmates from the Civil Engineering Department have found their greatest pleasure outside of work to come and visit Mu Xiaoqi.

While your own job may be tough, seeing others work even harder can still bring you some joy!

Chu Xinghe also made a special trip to the Artifact Refining Palace. Good heavens, Ouyang Ming is really something... In just a few days? This guy has already invented a pill that tastes like steamed lamb chops?

Ouyang Ming immediately assured Senior Brother Xinghe that he would give his junior brothers and sisters a few more days to enjoy the elixir with the flavor of roasted lamb chops!

Chu Xinghe replied, "Ouyang Ming, you misheard me... Last time I was talking about a pill flavored like roasted camel... What the hell are you doing researching roasted lamb chops?"

Ouyang Ming: "???"

Ouyang Ming was completely bewildered... Had he misheard last time?

However, Ouyang Ming said that regardless of whether he had misheard or not, since Senior Brother Xinghe wanted to roast camel-flavored pills, he could still develop in that direction, even if it would take a little longer!

Seeing Ouyang Ming continuing his research on pills flavored like roasted camel, Chu Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Ouyang Ming didn't get involved in forging, he could even research pills flavored like stinky tofu without any problem!

Chu Xinghe also made a trip to the Thunder Palace... I heard that Elder He recently went to study the Great Freedom Visualization Art with the Great Sage?

Upon hearing this, Chu Xinghe immediately said, "In that case, I'll give the Thunder Palace disciples some pointers on how to cultivate the Thunder War Dance..."

Not just these senior and junior brothers... I'll also give some pointers to the senior and junior sisters!

Then Chu Xinghe entered the Thunder Palace's War Dance Hall for the first time... and witnessed the Thunder Palace's senior and junior sisters performing the Thunder War Dance!

But before Chu Xinghe even get excited... he realized that the scene was somewhat different from what he had seen before.

What happened to the Thunder War Dance being supposed to be shirtless? Can anyone tell me why all the senior and junior sisters of the Thunder Palace are completely clothed?

Is this a proper Thunder War Dance? What's the meaning of you being dressed so conservatively?

I know my senior and junior sisters are usually wary of backstabbers, but do you even guard against a gentleman like me Chu Xinghe?

Soon... Chu Xinghe finally learned from Wan Lin, who was looking at him with a sorrowful expression, why the senior and junior sisters of the Thunder Palace could dance the Thunder War Dance while fully clothed.

"Senior Brother Xinghe... In the past, the senior and junior sisters of the Thunder Palace couldn't wear clothes, but ever since you developed the Ninth Set of Body Refining Secret Arts, they've improved the Thunder War Dance... Now, the improved Thunder War Dance is not only more effective... but you don't have to go shirtless anymore!"

Wan Lin's face was full of resentment...

Chu Xinghe: "..."

What a terrible thing!

Chu Xinghe remained calm... but a question arose... if Thunder War Dance no longer requires members to be shirtless, why are the fellow disciples outside still shirtless?

What the heck? You're telling me they're used to it?

Do they have any shame? Tell them to all put their clothes on! What do you mean, "They've gotten used to it!"

As a gentleman, I, Chu Xinghe, cannot stand the sight of them shirtless!

A gentleman has things he can and cannot see. Whether or not I can see my senior and junior sisters' Thunder War Dance is one thing, but I, Chu Xinghe, a gentleman of the Thunder Palace, certainly cannot see my other fellow disciples!
