From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 255 A Pee Will Shatter Your Protagonist Halo
I set the world ablaze, only to find that a pee can't extinguish it!
This is awkward!
Xu Fengnian looked at him with a complicated expression. To be honest, he didn't know whether he should believe him or not.

The guy in front of me claims to be a new sage of Confucianism, but he clearly doesn't have the demeanor of a sage, and he's not even very well-mannered.

The future of Confucianism is worrying!
"You pioneered Confucianism, and now it has spread throughout the world. Whether or not it is under your control, I believe that as long as you speak, there will be countless people responding. Is there anything I can do to cooperate with you?"

"You have 300,000 iron cavalry!" Zhao Xun laughed. "The military strength of Beiliang ranks among the top in the world. Although Confucianism is popular and many scholars have gained power they didn't have before, so what? Don't say you can't organize them. Even if you could, you couldn't withstand the onslaught of 300,000 iron cavalry. Just like back then, your sword immortal mother, even though she had reached the realm of a terrestrial immortal, wasn't she still severely injured by the siege of just a few experts?"

Upon hearing Xu Fengnian's most painful past, Xu Fengnian's heart trembled, and a sinister look appeared in his eyes. "I will remember this matter. I don't need you to remind me."

Although Zhao Xun spoke ill of Xu Xiao, it is undeniable that he and his father were not without temper. Xu Fengnian initially concealed his talents and disguised himself as a playboy in order to deceive his enemies. He would take revenge once he had grown strong enough.

Revenge is one of Xu Fengnian's greatest pursuits in life.

And coincidentally, his enemies were all people from unorthodox sects.

Oh, you mean Yuan Benxi? Wasn't he a Confucian?

How can a petty person who claims to be the national teacher and imperial tutor but can't even reach the sixth rank be worthy of being called a Confucian scholar?

Moreover, Xu Fengnian's protagonist luck is now surging, and his protagonist halo power has greatly increased, which is also a huge help to him.

"Back then, the White Robe Case in the capital was due to the old emperor's concerns about Beiliang. The plan was devised by Yuan Benxi. The one who lured your mother was the empress, and the one who obstructed your father's rescue was Yang Taisui. The ones who took action were Han Diaosi, Liu Haosong, and other experts..." Zhao Xun looked at him and said, "And the mastermind was the Imperial Observatory. Brother Fengnian, am I right?"

Xu Fengnian stared at Zhao Xun, his fists clenched tightly. "Of course I know. You want to cooperate with me so you can use me to get rid of these people?"

“You’re wrong. Why do you want to get rid of these people?” Zhao Xun shook his head and said, “Look at you, a prince of Beiliang, you don’t even know how to take revenge, all you know is killing. Killing your enemies is certainly the most direct and complicated way, but besides killing your enemies, there are ways to make them suffer even more than death. Let them watch their ideals, dreams, the goals they fought for their whole lives, and the beliefs they held onto crumble before their eyes, watch them fall into endless despair, watch them struggle in pain, beg you to kill them, and even try to commit suicide but fail. This is the right way to take revenge, and only then can you have a clear conscience!”

"What exactly do you want?" Zhao Xun's words sent a chill down Xu Fengnian's spine, a silent fear gripping his heart. "Sigh, young man, let me teach you a lesson. Look at Zhao Dun and Zhao Zhi, one an emperor, the other an empress. Why are they doing this? Isn't it because they're afraid your Northern Liang will threaten their royal family? Aren't they just like our fathers, wanting the throne to be passed down peacefully? If you let them live to see their sons unable to ascend the throne, how much pain would they suffer? And Yuan Benxi, this guy calls himself the Imperial Tutor, thinking himself so great. He also has his favorite princes, wanting his chosen one to sit on the throne, and then serve as the Imperial Tutor for one or even two reigns, second only to the emperor. Shatter his dream, and make him..." Wouldn't it be satisfying to have a villain, a treacherous minister, despised by all, remembered for his infamy for eternity? Yang Taisui, the Sick Tiger, a Buddhist monk, is also adept at the power struggles of Taoism and Confucianism. He's clearly a recluse, yet he insists on meddling in worldly affairs, always believing he's acting in the greater good, for the sake of all humanity. Wouldn't it be great to destroy his Buddhist sect and turn him into a demon? As for the experts who attacked, like Han Diaosi, defeat them, humiliate them, kill them. Finally, there's the Imperial Observatory. These people value their lineage most; for them, destroying their sect and eradicating their traditions is the most satisfying thing to do. Tell me, if you accomplished all this, wouldn't you feel incredibly satisfied, like your life was worthwhile?

"you……"

After hearing what Zhao Xun said, Xu Fengnian was already drenched in cold sweat. The Zhao Xun in front of him seemed to be no longer a person, nor a Confucian sage, but a venomous snake hiding in the shadows, flicking its scarlet tongue and flashing its snow-white fangs, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.

Of course, as a son, Zhao Xun's words did indeed open his mind. He actually felt that Zhao Xun's method was really good. If he could really do what he said, that would be an incredibly pleasant thing!

Seeing Xu Fengnian's rapid breathing, Zhao Xun continued, "Xu Xiao came to the capital this time to exchange his position as Shangzhuguo for a hereditary iron certificate for you, but he will not succeed."

"Hmm?" Zhao Xun's words pulled Xu Fengnian back from his reverie. "It won't succeed. Why?"

"Times have changed, and the world has changed. The court today is not the same as it was four years ago. Zhao Dun is willing to keep your father's position as Grand General in order to win him over, but he can no longer control the court. The ministers, led by Zhang Julu, will not agree to this, and may even deliberately provoke a conflict with your father and kill him. So, you'd better write to your father and tell him to be careful."

"What did you say?" Zhao Xun's words shocked Xu Fengnian, who stared at Zhao Xun in astonishment. "You, you want to kill my father?"

“It’s not me, it’s the ministers in the court,” Zhao Xun said. “They’ve long disapproved of your father’s actions, but they didn’t have enough power before. Now, times have changed. Your father’s biggest mistake this time is that he’s still using the same old perspective from four years ago to view the court and those ministers. That’s why I’m hiding here and not going out easily. Confucianism has reached the third rank, and one’s will is unwavering. If they believe something is right, they will push it forward with all their might, just like Wang Yangming back then. If I don’t have absolute certainty and go out so easily, and they criticize me, where will I put the face of the Confucian sage?!”

Xu Fengnian seemed to understand, but he understood one thing: Tai'an City was now a den of dragons and tigers for Xu Xiao. He dared not talk nonsense with Zhao Xun here anymore. He immediately clasped his hands in apology and shot off towards the outside of the island like lightning.

Zhao Xun did not stop him, but simply released the fog and let Xu Fengnian leave, his gaze gradually becoming deep and unfathomable.

"Go, go, burn as brightly as you want! How can I make arrangements calmly if you don't burn away your protagonist aura quickly?"
