If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 1067 Decision
Xiaoyu pondered for a moment and said, "I have already expressed my true feelings to you, senior."

Qin lost his deer, and the world chased it.

Personally, I have absolutely no interest in participating in it.

Even though guiding the great calamity has its benefits, I care more about the tangible benefits in front of me—seizing the time to digest the foundation of the Qin Dynasty.

There's really no need for Master Fuqiu to keep an eye on me.

I had no intention of causing trouble, and he had no ability to stop me from doing so.

Meng Qi sighed, “You are arrogant, you are remarkable, you are aloof, and you have great supernatural powers after cultivating the ‘Wind and Water Refining Spirit’, but can you fight against a hundred people by yourself? Master Fuqiu is not alone.”

When the Qin Dynasty falls and the feudal lords vie for supremacy, these 'quasi-Daluo' cultivators will most likely engage in a battle of magic.

But before the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, they were certainly united against external forces.

Since you truly have no intention of causing trouble, why not make a promise and establish a good relationship with Master Fuqiu and his group?
You have helped them in this great calamity.

To repay the karmic debt, if you ever need help in the future, they, who have already become Great Immortals, will surely help you without hesitation.

You need to learn to integrate into their group to improve!

Xiaoyu said, "It's no use making a promise! Only by knowing what the predetermined number of days is can I avoid interfering."

How would I know what the number of days is, what I should do, and what I shouldn't do?

Besides, I am currently in the midst of a calamity, and my actions are themselves 'fate'.

How can we avoid ruining Fuqiu Gong's plans?

Meng Qi said, "You stay in Guanzhong and don't worry about things outside."

Once the heroes enter Guanzhong, immediately lead the Ying clan westward. In this way, you will be in accordance with the will of Heaven.”

"Isn't this too domineering? I am, after all, the Grand Tutor of Qin, and there are some things I must do. For example, to sort out the land veins of the Central Plains and ensure that the dragon veins are not destroyed by those with ulterior motives."

"For example, if you encounter a troublesome underworld deity in the land of Shenzhou, you can easily deal with it," Xiaoyu said.

Meng Qi said, "That's right, you are the Grand Tutor of Qin, and you are already in the midst of a great calamity."

Let alone sorting out the land's veins, it would be perfectly reasonable for you to lead the Qin army to quell the rebellion.

But this isn't about whether you have a reason to do something.

Rather, it was about how to avoid defying fate and thus clashing with Fuqiu Gong and his followers.

Just like Grand Tutor Wen during the Investiture of the Gods period, what's wrong with Grand Tutor Wen being loyal to the emperor and serving the country?
There's absolutely no problem with being loyal to the emperor and serving the country.

Unfortunately, he stood on the opposite side of 'destiny' and clashed with the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect who guarded destiny, ultimately dying and disappearing from the Dao.

The great immortals like Fuqiu Gong of today are representatives of the Mandate of Heaven.

And don't even mention being domineering.

Once the great calamity is over, your disobedience or even provocation of Master Fuqiu will only be a personal grudge between you and him.

Now, Master Fuqiu doesn't care about personal grudges. If you scold him, he probably won't pay any attention to you, but you can't go against the destiny he upholds.

By defying the will of Heaven, you have become 'Grand Tutor Wen'.

The killing of Grand Tutor Wen by the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect was not a personal grudge, but purely a struggle for destiny.

Since you have no intention of contending with fate, you might as well take Fuqiu Gong as a role model. You should stay far away from those he protects, which will be more beneficial to you!

Avoiding 'benchmarks' can help you avoid getting involved in murder.

Xiaoyu thought about it and felt that what Old Meng said made some sense.

She indeed had no intention of changing the fate of the Qin Dynasty.

Fuqiu Gong and his companions attained the Great Luo realm through this great calamity, and she felt neither envy nor jealousy, nor any intention to curry favor.
The success of Fuqiu Gongzheng Dao was even of great benefit to her.

Her father, the Great Destroyer, was finally able to deduce the "Great Luo Golden Immortal Annihilation Method" and break the "Supreme Immortal Path" of the Pangu World—the Great Luo Path.

Being able to leisurely enjoy the show and reap great benefits is exactly what she wanted!

In that case, wouldn't it be a good thing to have a "benchmark" to help her grasp the proper measure?

"I really don't want to get involved in this great calamity, but I don't know what destiny is!"

Could you secretly give me a heads-up when you're making the plan?

"If you let me know, I'll stay away. If you don't know, there's no way I can avoid it even if I want to," Xiaoyu said.

"I'll tell him later."

Meng Qi felt that hope was slim.

Fuqiu Gong was more proud and confident than Yu Fengxian, which made him compromise—he would inform Yu Fengxian first whenever he had a plan.

I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult.

Let alone informing Yu Fengxian.

Even his longtime friend had no idea what they were thinking or what they were going to do.

During this great calamity, his personal wish was both humble and great: to protect China and to protect himself.

If China suffers fewer calamities, and he can save his own life, that's enough!
Fuqiu Gong and his group wanted to attain the Great Luo, so they were no longer in the same circle as him.

Meng Qi thought for a moment and then said, "I have a suggestion for you: try not to provoke Qianlong."

"Don't you merge with the land every time you arrive in a prefecture, thus knowing all the dragon veins within the prefecture and the hidden dragons corresponding to them?"

At this point, a mixture of doubt and expectation appeared on his face. "You're not exaggerating, are you? There's an aura of an emperor in the southeast. You've been in the southeast for several months, have you found any of that 'aura of an emperor'?"

"If I can find even such small 'dragon eggs,' let alone real dragons."

Xiaoyu pinched the tip of her right index finger and gestured to indicate the size of the "dragon seed".

"What is 'dragon seed'?" Meng Qi asked, puzzled.

“The dragon vein of the Grass King. He may be king today, but he could lose his head tomorrow. He has a dragon vein, but it is extremely small. I call it a ‘dragon seed’,” Xiaoyu said.

"The dragon vein of the Grass King is hidden very shallowly, isn't it?" Meng Qi asked.

"It's not shallow, but the key is that it's very small and cluttered, making it very well hidden," Xiaoyu said.

"If even dragon seeds can be found, where is the real dragon?" Meng Qi asked curiously.

Xiaoyu hesitated, "The identity of the True Dragon concerns destiny; it must be kept a secret!"

Meng Qi said unhappily, "You are still the Grand Tutor of Qin, how could you know that?"

"How could I, an old man, who wishes to support the imperial court and cleanse myself of my sins, possibly harm the true dragon?"

"You have to promise not to tell anyone," Xiaoyu said seriously.

"I swear!" Meng Qi said solemnly.

"Jing Ju, the prodigy of the Jing family in Dang County, has the bearing of an emperor!" Xiao Yu said mysteriously.

"It really is him!" Meng Qi first realized, then hesitated and said, "I have discovered Jingju's dragon vein."

It is indeed a large dragon.

However, Jingju's character doesn't seem to possess the qualities of a king.

He lacked wisdom, martial arts skills, and magnanimity.

"Sigh, if he were as dazzling as a star, would he have survived until now? The trivialities of life cannot test a true king."

"Only on a grand stage where heroes vie for supremacy can the spirit of a true king be ignited," Xiaoyu said.

That's true, but it doesn't apply to Jingju.

"That makes some sense. I'll keep an eye on Jingju!"

Meng Qi sighed and walked back to the hall first.

"Master Fuqiu, let's speak in private."

Fuqiu Gong followed him away from the City God's domain and flew to the heavens, avoiding Xiaoyu's "Earth Mother's Authority".

In the realm of immortal magic, Meng Qi carefully explained Xiao Yu's wishes.

"Fellow Daoist, you are also aware of Yu Fengxian's deeds. She possesses a kind of righteous yet unorthodox aura. She likes to intervene and meddle when she encounters injustice."

He may not be worthy of the title 'benevolent', but he certainly deserves the title 'knight-errant'.

For example, she encountered a demonic disturbance two years ago, which had nothing to do with her. She risked her life to protect Western Shu.

For example, when she encountered the Hu people marching south, she drew her sword to help them.

For example, this time, while she was sorting out the earth's veins in Sishui County, she happened to encounter the Earth Goddess bullying a mortal woman named Li. She stood up for Li and wanted to support her.

Compared to the calamities caused by demons and barbarians that plagued millions, Li's grievances were of course insignificant.

But Yu Fengxian already possessed a true and genuine state of mind, and she followed her heart in everything, big or small.

If she encounters something that doesn't align with her principles, she will not hesitate to lend a helping hand.

They didn't care about trivial matters that wasted her time and energy; nor did they care about a catastrophic disaster that might cost her her life.

At this point, admiration and appreciation appeared on Meng Qi's face. "Acting as one pleases, unrestrained and free, is almost like the 'non-action state of mind' of my Xuanmen."

You must understand that this is a time of great calamity for heaven and earth.

She is also one of the main characters in the great calamity.

But she wasn't blinded by the evil spirits; she remained true to herself, which is even more remarkable than most people.

Fuqiu Gong was silent for a while, then said, "I don't dislike her personality."

But I don't like her because she has no reverence for God.

Meng Qi's smile faded, and he sighed, "If you don't like her, then you don't like her! What I mean is, she deserves your attention."

If you have any plans that might involve her, send her a message beforehand so that she can stay far away from you.

You've avoided the disruption of destiny, she's escaped a calamity, and everyone's happy.

Fuqiu Gongdao said, "I value her very much. But I can't give her this promise."

All I know is that this place is facing a great calamity, and that the power of the Human Emperor will be diminished, with the 'Son of Heaven' replacing the 'Human Emperor'.

I must experience the specific process of this great calamity myself.

Many times, when I had to make a decision, I even clashed with some of my fellow practitioners.

Perhaps I will fail and ultimately perish.

Because my spiritual cultivation is inferior to others, I misunderstood the will of Heaven and stood on the opposite side of destiny.

How can I discuss this with her in advance?

Meng Qi said, "Say whatever you know. It doesn't matter if you misunderstand the will of Heaven."

The key is communication!
Through communication, misunderstandings can be eliminated and unnecessary conflicts can be reduced.

For example, regarding today's matter, you can come directly and ask her what the purpose of suppressing Chen Sheng was.

It's a minor matter; if we discuss it with each other, it'll be resolved peacefully.

Fuqiu Gong frowned and said, "Why doesn't she take the Ying clan and leave Shenzhou directly?"

“She will definitely leave once the Qin Dynasty falls,” Meng Qi said.

Fuqiu Gongdao said, "She should leave now! Go to the west to scout ahead, and when Qin is destroyed, bring over any Qin people who are willing to leave."

Meng Qi's heart sank.

In his view, Yu Fengxian's request was not excessive.

Yu Fengxian was also very honest with him, saying whatever was on her mind.

But his old friend was still not entirely satisfied.

Not very honest either.

"Yu Fengxian had no intention of defending the rule of the Great Qin. She only wanted to use the Great Qin's resources to improve her own cultivation."

Now, to get her out of Xianyang, at least the True Form Map must be released immediately.

She's currently creating her own martial arts techniques using the True Form Diagram, so why would she want to let it go?

Fuqiu Gongdao said, "She has possessed the True Form Diagram for so long and has even comprehended powerful immortal techniques from it. She should be content."

Meng Qi narrowed his eyes and asked softly, "What if she's not satisfied?"

Fuqiu Gong sighed, “Old friend, it’s not that I’m not giving you face.”

Whether she is a true villain or a true gentleman, I can accept that she stays in China.

But she was a free-spirited 'knight-errant'.

A truly despicable person can be intimidated or bribed.

A true gentleman can reason with her and coerce her with the greater good and the overall situation.

What I fear most is someone like her who doesn't respect fate, doesn't care about gains or losses, and only seeks to achieve her own happiness.

For the sake of a mere Li, she could suppress Chen Sheng and dozens of Qi cultivators, including Gu Zhenjun.

They also sent more than ten extraordinary individuals directly to Fengdu Hell.

The rest of the people were also subjected to humiliation at will; they were beaten and cursed at will.

"Would she kill the chosen one outright for the sake of a Zhang or a Song woman in the future?"

Meng Qi said, "If you really encounter Zhang or Song in the future, you can discuss it with them!"
She cares about interests and hates trouble; she's not a stubborn, impulsive person.

Fuqiu Gong glanced at him and said, "You really believe what she said? That she can come and go as she pleases in front of us, the Four Friends of Qionglin?"

Meng Qi sighed, "Why bother? No matter what, she is a leading figure of our time."

It's not that I'm doing this out of kindness, it's that she deserves a little leniency.

Fuqiu Gongdao said, "I want to give it a try. If she can really retreat from our presence with ease, I will give her face next time."

Meng Qi frowned and asked, "Are you serious?"

"I usually like to joke around?" Fuqiu Gongdao said.

Meng Qi gave him a deep look and said, "Old friend, you're playing with fire! Once you start fighting, you'll inevitably incur consequences."

We are all mentally mature adults.

Once Fuqiu Gong had made his decision, Meng Qi no longer tried to persuade him.

My advice was useless.

When he walked into the living room, he saw that "Old Mother Qiushan" had already returned to her seat.

“Fuqiu Zi will not listen to advice and insists on testing your supernatural powers. Only if you can calmly leave in front of the four of them and truly demonstrate that you are not an ant will he be willing to acknowledge your qualifications—the qualifications to bargain with him.”

If you fail to escape, although your life is not in danger, you will suffer a lot.

Moreover, from today until the end of the Great Calamity, you are not allowed to remain in Shenzhou. Meng Qi secretly transmitted his voice.

Xiao Yu smiled slightly and said, "Wait a moment while I finish handling the Li family's case."

"You still have the mind to meddle in the family affairs of an ordinary person?" Meng Qi said irritably.

“Mortals are still people, just like immortals. Her ‘family affairs’ can affect her entire future life; in her world, it’s a catastrophe,” Xiaoyu said with a faint smile.

Fuqiu Gong and his three companions returned with expressionless faces.

Xiaoyu lightly stomped her cane, and the scene changed in an instant.

The immortals and Qi cultivators in the pit remained in place without moving.

Chen Sheng, the Four Friends of Qionglin, Meng Qi, the City God, and a group of ghosts and gods were all present. Finally, Xiao Yu was added to the group. Their bodies did not move, but their positions were moved to the main hall of the government office.

Xiaoyu didn't move them, but instead moved the ground beneath them.

"Slaughter the City God! King Chen Sheng has arrived. Let's follow the procedure and complete the final step!"
