C212 Refuse?
The cigarette started to burn and wisps of smoke rose up, spreading throughout the entire room.
Currently, there were only three people left in the room. One was Jian Ao without a doubt, and the other was Lang Xie. As for the last person, it was naturally that stiff Little Six.
The two of them sat side by side. There was a table in the middle, and a tea table was placed on top of the table. They were drinking tea.
"Prince Lang Xie, this tea tastes good. It's authentic. I like it. " Jian Ao took a sip of the tea casually.
"Brother, if you like it, I can ask someone to bring you a few catties so that you can enjoy it slowly. " Prince Lang Xie said with a smile.
"No need. " Jian Ao shook his head and said, "No merit, no reward! I understand this principle. "
Yes, if he took Prince Lang Xie's tea leaves, it meant that he had a connection with him. To be on good terms with him. . . Although it was true now, at least in some people's eyes, they were not sure if the two of them were on the same side.
Prince Lang Xie could naturally understand the meaning of Jian Ao's words. He smiled and pretended not to understand.
Jian Ao didn't speak, and neither did Jian Ao. The two of them drank tea quietly, as if they didn't want to ruin the quiet atmosphere.
Lang Xie felt bitter in his heart when he saw how calm Jian Ao was. He thought that Jian Ao would ask him why he stayed here to drink tea with him. Once he asked, he would have an excuse to say what he wanted to say. However, Jian Ao didn't care. If he spoke first, he would be at a disadvantage, and he would be forced to take the initiative. Obviously, the other party also knew, which was why he remained silent.
Prince Lang Xie smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, why do you have to do this? I have also put in a lot of effort!"
"Everyone has their own aspirations, and everyone has their own aspirations. Some people are passionate about power. They like to hold the power of others' lives and kill, and they can do whatever they want. Some people like to live a life of leisure, not troubled by the mortal world. Some people liked martial arts, not wanting to be tied down by the secular world. And I'm obviously the third type of person. I only like pursuing that supreme path of martial arts. "
Jian Ao's words were very clear, very clear. He was only passionate about martial arts, pursuing that ethereal and supreme Deity Realm. He didn't want to have anything to do with everything in the secular world, and didn't want to be involved in the competition between your princes.
Go back and forth where you came from!
This was Jian Ao's most direct meaning.
Although Prince Lang Xie understood, he still didn't want to give up. He said, "It's true that you pursue the supreme martial arts, but martial arts have not become gods. He's still a human. Since he's a human, he must survive in the secular world. Where there are people, there will be the Jianghu, and the Jianghu is dangerous. Even if you were powerful, But can you guarantee that your family is strong and can protect themselves?
No. The strength of a person doesn't mean that their family is strong as well. It's impossible to avoid worldly disputes. At this time, you need the help of friends or allies. Allies can protect your family and your hometown when you go out. "
Prince Lang Xie's words were very direct. He wanted to become Jian Ao's ally. When he went out, he could protect and protect his family so that they wouldn't be harmed in the slightest.
To be honest, Jian Ao understood. As the saying goes, When a person obtains the Dao, even the chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven. But was that really the case? It was not the case. When you attain the Dao, Perhaps your family has already been slaughtered. It is said that the strong are ruthless. However, how many people could truly be heartless? They were people, and there was meat in their hands. They are definitely not heartless people. After they had attained the Dao, they discovered that their loved ones had all died. What was the point of obtaining the Dao?
The reason why he cultivated so desperately was not for himself, but more for his family to live a good life. He did not have to worry and be on tenterhooks all day long.
Jian Ao was silent. Lang Xie was right. However, he didn't have the strength or power to do so. What could he do to help him? He was the only one who could do so. How could the power of a single person surpass the power of a thousand people!? It would be fine if he won, but what if he lost? - - - Not only would he die, even his family would be implicated as well.
He had no confidence! This was what Jian Ao was worried about.
He smiled and said, "But to choose an ally, you must also choose someone with strength. If a Sword Lord doesn't pull him, and instead, robs a swordsman, doesn't it feel like the loss outweighs the gain?"
Lang Xie smiled. That's right, you don't have the strength right now, but you have the potential! Although potential isn't equal to strength, The former is the foundation of the latter. Without potential, how can one have powerful strength?
When he realized Jian Ao's difference, he had already been understood by others. His martial arts did not disappoint those who were determined. Every bit of Jian Ao was dug out.
He had used his strength to suppress all the experts in the Wind Cloud Country, killing them one by one. He had even crossed realms and killed the Second Rank Demonic Beast and Rhinoceros Beast. After that, he didn't fear the king of the Lin Family at all. After that, he had broken the record in the recruitment competition of the Heavenly Sword Sect and achieved the best result of the Heavenly Sword Sect, shocking everyone.
In the eyes of everyone, he was a miracle and a legend.
Regarding such a legendary figure, any major power would want to win him over.
Prince Lang Xie said, "I can slowly improve my strength, but without potential, I can only reach a limited height. With unlimited potential, one's strength is limitless. A person's potential is usually able to determine a person's future. "
" But even geniuses have the possibility of premature deaths! " Jian Ao chuckled.
Indeed, from ancient times until now, there were too many geniuses. There were countless of them, but how many of them actually grew up? Those geniuses died prematurely, some died in cultivation, and most of them were killed by some major powers or powerful people.
Jian Ao did not want to be the latter. Therefore, the reason why he should refuse was because he wanted to refuse.
Prince Lang Xie's face was full of regret. The other party had already said it to this extent. Whatever he said, even if he praised himself to the sky, it would be useless.
He also knew that Jian Ao's decision would never be changed. Unless there was an external force that forced him to do nothing, he would be extremely furious.
He stood up and said to Jian Ao. "Since brother said so, then it's useless no matter what I say. "
Jian Ao shrugged and said, "Maybe!"
"Then I will take my leave. " Prince Lang Xie looked at Little Six and said lightly.
Seeing Prince Lang Xie and Little Six leave, Jian Ao smiled helplessly.
To tell the truth, he was tempted, even if it was just a tiny bit. He was in another country. He didn't know how his family in Wind Cloud Country was doing, nor did he know. But one thing was certain, the Yang family had already thought of unifying Yun Feng. They would definitely attack the Jian family, but it was fine if they didn't. If they attacked, it would be earth-shattering, and they would have the ability to destroy all of Yun Feng's major powers.
If he could form an alliance with the Wind Mist Country, his family would be the first to deal with it, and Feng Lan would be the one to deal with it from the back. With Feng Lan working together from the inside, he would definitely be able to catch the Yang family off guard. However, the prerequisite was that Prince Lang Xie could rule the Wind Mist Country and become the overlord of a region. Otherwise, everything would be nonsense.
How could Jian Ao not know that Lang Xie wanted to rope him in? However, it was just as he had expected. If he didn't succeed, not only would he die, even his own family might be destroyed. At that time, it wasn't the Jian family and Feng Lan who had joined hands, but the Yang family who had joined hands with Feng Lan. Instead, it would speed up the Jian family's path of destruction.
Although he hadn't been in this world for a long time, Jian Ao had already integrated himself into the Jian family. As a Jian family, he naturally had to consider his own home. This was something that a Jian family should do, and it was something that he had to do.
Therefore, Jian Ao had repeatedly delayed and rejected Lang Xie because of this. The latter's power didn't allow him to see even the slightest bit of hope. Even the person standing behind him was from another power, and he was being watched by others.
Only a fool would cooperate with such a person and become his ally. Jian Ao wasn't a fool, so he naturally wouldn't do that. Unless. . . Prince Lang Xie could bring out a strength that was acknowledged by everyone.
He wiped away the tea and muttered to himself, "I hope you don't disappoint me. " In his heart, he still hoped that the latter could bring out the capital he could use to fight for supremacy!
He did not have it now, so he could only reject it.
This was not only for his own sake, but also for his own family's sake.
