"Why should I help?"
Li Qingqiu asked in return, his gaze settling on Xiao Wudi with great satisfaction.
Among the three brothers, Xiao Wuqing had the best talent and comprehension. Both were excellent, like Li Yang and Ji Ya. But Xiao Wudi possessed the Fate of Innate Body Cultivator, and when it came to practicing the body-cultivation method created by Zhao Zhen, he left the others far behind. As a result, his strength was clearly greater than Xiao Wuqing's and Xiao Wuming's.
Zhang Yuchun asked in surprise, "Senior Brother, if we're not helping either side, what did you mean earlier when you spoke of Imperial Power Granted by Immortals?"
Had he misunderstood?
Li Qingqiu replied, "It means what you think it means. We'll decide who rules, but how do we decide? Naturally, we'll see who can bring peace to the world and is devoted to the Qingxiao Sect."
Zhang Yuchun considered this. "You mean we should let them fight for a while first, so we can see who would make a wise ruler?"
"Many people will die in troubled times. But if we choose a tyrant or an incompetent ruler, even more will die—and those who survive will wish they were dead."
Li Qingqiu answered, his voice utterly calm as he spoke, even somewhat cold.
Zhang Yuchun thought that made sense. During Zhao Zhi's reign, people had lived in constant fear. For many, those days had truly been worse than death.
"Whenever it concerns a struggle for control of the realm, turn down anyone who approaches the Qingxiao Sect. And don't let the Training Hall issue missions involving the battlefield," Li Qingqiu instructed.
Although Li Sifeng had the heart of an emperor, Li Qingqiu would not blindly support him.
If he lacked the ability, he should give up sooner rather
