Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Lin Yue raised his eyebrows and began to understand the purpose of this guy's visit.

Are you here to find out something?

“When I talked to Senior Lin before, Senior Lin told me that not all forces outside the Heavens are ambitious and want to conquer or even enslave the Chinese ancient martial arts world.”

Xiao Chen looked at Lin Yue.

"For example, Xingxiu Island, where Senior Lin is, has a friendly attitude towards the Chinese ancient martial arts world, and what Senior Lin did in the Chinese ancient martial arts world also proves this point... Otherwise, it would be difficult for you and I to sit down and drink tea now."

"Um."

Lin Yue nodded.

"In the end, we just want to return to this world and seek great opportunities! No matter how big the world outside the heaven is, it is a small world, and its own rules are incomplete..."

"Haha, the Chinese ancient martial arts community welcomes forces like Xingxiu Island. We can coexist peacefully."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"Just like Senior Lin, we didn't know each other until we fought, but we eventually established a deep friendship."

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Shang Xinglu, who just brought the tea, almost spilled the tea.

A deep friendship?

How thick-skinned do you have to be to say this?

It's obviously just a plastic relationship, okay?

"Haha, that's true. I also hope that we can develop more cooperation based on our deep friendship."

Lin Yue looked at Xiao Chen and said.

"no problem."

Xiao Chen nodded.

“Senior Lin, when things here are settled, we can have a good chat… In the past, I might have been a little resistant, but after this incident of the extermination of my family, I think I should make more friends in Tianwai Tian.”

"It would be best if Sect Master Xiao could think this way."

Lin Yue was delighted. He had wanted to cooperate with Xiao Chen before, but was always rejected.

If they could really establish cooperation with Xiao Chen, then their plan would be much simpler.

"Senior Lin, are there more forces in Tianwaitian that want to enslave the Chinese ancient martial arts world, or more friendly forces like Xingxiu Island?"

Xiao Chen took a sip of tea and asked.

“…”

After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Lin Yue fell silent.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen sighed inwardly. This reaction was already very obvious.

In Tianwai Tian, there are more forces that want to conquer and enslave China's ancient martial arts world!

"Master Xiao, there is no need to worry too much. There are some forces that are somewhere in between."

Seeing that Xiao Chen was silent, Lin Yue hurriedly said.

“If Patriarch Xiao can win their support, the situation in the Outer Heaven might change.”

"Somewhere in between?"

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows.

"Have they not figured out how to deal with the Chinese ancient martial arts world? Or what?"

"All of them. Some forces are not ready yet."

Lin Yue explained.

"And some forces don't care. They don't care whether to enslave the Chinese ancient martial arts world or get along with them in a friendly manner. They only care about their goals, such as obtaining great opportunities."

Listening to Lin Yue's words, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed. Doesn't the attitude of this force show that they don't take the Chinese ancient martial arts world seriously?

In their eyes, the Chinese ancient martial arts world is just an ant.

How can a strong person care about an ant?

If the ants don't bother them, they won't bother with them.

If the ants bother them, they will just crush them.

"Master Xiao, their attitude towards the Chinese ancient martial arts world depends on the performance of the Chinese ancient martial arts world."

Lin Yue said this meaningfully, picked up the teacup and started drinking.

"It depends on the performance of the Chinese ancient martial arts world..."

Xiao Chen looked at Lin Yue and nodded.

This kind of performance may be due to the fact that the strength of China's ancient martial arts world is getting stronger and stronger, which makes them a little fearful.

Ants are also different from each other.

Although the powerful ants will not kill them, they can still injure them.

In this situation, in order to avoid losses, they will also give the ants some face.

At least as long as it does not affect their interests, they will not pay the price to crush ants.

In addition, in addition to strength, it may also be to see whether the Chinese ancient martial arts world is sensible... If they are sensible, then they don't need to do much. If they are happy, they can leave a way for the ants to survive.

If they don't understand, killing a group of ants is nothing to them.

"Senior Lin just said that we should win their support... Then, how should I win their support?"

Xiao Chen thought about it and asked again.

"Master Xiao, we have a deep friendship, and it feels like we are close friends regardless of age..."

Lin Yue put down his teacup, looking like he was in a confidant mood.

"That's right. Senior Lin and I hit it off right away. We are close friends regardless of age difference, so if Senior Lin has anything to say, just say it."

Xiao Chen bowed.

“…”

Listening to what the two said, Shang Xinglu next to them had a slightly strange look on his face. Aren’t these two people too hypocritical?

It would be fine if it was my own uncle-master, after all, he is an old hand in the world and is good at dealing with people, otherwise he would not have come to the world of ancient martial arts.

Xiao Chen is about the same age as him, or even younger than him, so how did he cultivate to such a hypocritical level!

It seems that the gap between him and Xiao Chen is not only in ancient martial arts skills, but also in hypocrisy!

"Haha, since Patriarch Xiao said so, I will have a good chat with you today, and some things will be said openly."

Lin Yue smiled.

"I have some understanding of Patriarch Xiao's thoughts, and I admire him very much...During this period of time, I can also see the changes and growth of Patriarch Xiao. This change and growth is not only in terms of ancient martial arts cultivation, but also in his attitude towards the Heaven Beyond Heaven."

"Well, I was too young before and thought that everyone in Tianwai Tian was an enemy. Now I feel that Tianwai Tian also has friends, just like Senior Lin and Xingxiu Island. They are my friends."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"As I said just now, the attitude of the foreign powers towards the ancient martial arts world of China can be divided into three parts. One part wants to conquer the ancient martial arts world by force, or even enslave it, making the ancient martial artists in the ancient martial arts world their servants and slaves... The method they follow is also very simple, that is, 'those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish'."

Lin Yue paused when he said this.

"For example, the Thousand Poison Sect, they are like this."

Hearing the words "Thousand Poison Sect", Xiao Chen's eyes turned cold. He didn't know what the fate of the Thousand Poison Sect was now.

Even if it's not destroyed, the situation shouldn't be very good!

"Except for the Thousand Poison Sect, many forces may not be so extreme as to exterminate entire families at will, but they will also make various arrangements and kill decisively...using iron-blooded means to suppress the forces in the ancient martial arts world."

Lin Yue continued.

"If this extermination is really related to the forces outside the Heaven, then this force is one of them."

"No matter what force this is or how powerful it is, they will pay a price for this."

Xiao Chen said slowly.

"Even if it's like an egg hitting a rock, I want to let them know that this egg... is much harder than they imagined."

Lin Yue glanced at Xiao Chen and did not respond. He continued to follow his train of thought: "The other part is friendly. For example, we on Xingxiu Island think that we should not have conflicts with the Chinese ancient martial arts world. If we cooperate, it should be a win-win result."

"It's a win-win situation."

Xiao Chen nodded, but he disagreed in his heart.

This old fox talks nicely about the so-called cooperation, but that only means they are in the dominant position and everything depends on them!

Be obedient, this is the prerequisite.

However, compared to 'those who obey me will prosper, and those who defy me will perish', it is still better, but... if you don't obey, I'm afraid it won't be much better.

"The main thing that Xiao Clan does is to make friends with these forces and cooperate as much as possible, so that both sides can win..."

Lin Yue smiled.

"Then, we need to find a way to deal with the 'neutral faction' I mentioned. Let's just give them a simple name and call them the 'neutral faction'. Most of them are not ready for the ancient martial arts world and have not figured out how to face it."

"Whether they are unprepared or indifferent, the performance of the Chinese ancient martial arts world will affect them... For example, the existence of Patriarch Xiao has affected the attitude of some forces towards the Chinese ancient martial arts world. They may think that they can cooperate with the Chinese ancient martial arts world in a friendly manner, or they may want to continue to observe and see."

"I?"

Xiao Chen was a little surprised.

"Yes, it's you, Sect Master Xiao."

Lin Yue nodded.

“Haha, now Master Xiao, you are very famous in Tianwai Tian… Whether it’s you killing Wei Zichen, or destroying the strong men of the Thousand Poison Sect, including your founding of Longmen, etc., the news has spread!”

"It's just a small matter, but I didn't expect it to be spread to other places."

Xiao Chen pretended to be modest.

"Master Xiao, there are many geniuses in the outer world who want to fight with you."

Shang Xinglu looked at Xiao Chen and interrupted.

"You've got them very interested."

"Oh? Really? Haha, wasn't Brother Shang also very interested in me before?"

Xiao Chen smiled.

“…”

Shang Xinglu's face turned dark. Can he still have a pleasant chat?

He originally wanted to say this to put some pressure on Xiao Chen, but ended up making things difficult for himself.

At the beginning, he looked down on Xiao Chen and went to Longhai to find Xiao Chen on purpose, wanting to deal with the so-called "peerless genius".

He will never forget how superior he felt at that time.

That kind of inherent sense of superiority made him always look down on Xiao Chen...

Later, Xiao Chen stepped hard on his sense of superiority and crushed it.

Now that Xiao Chen said this, doesn’t it mean that... the genius of Tianwai Tian will suffer the same fate as him?

“Ahem… I said this because I want Patriarch Xiao to know that Patriarch Xiao is no longer an unknown person in the Heaven Beyond Heaven, but is very famous.”

Lin Yue coughed dryly, trying to help his nephew who was "a little depressed". Why did he provoke Xiao Chen for no reason?

"Even, Patriarch Xiao not only represents himself, but also represents the Chinese ancient martial arts world... and Patriarch Xiao's every move also affects the attitudes of many forces towards the Chinese ancient martial arts world."

"After Senior Lin said that, I suddenly felt a lot of pressure."

Xiao Chen was half true and half false.

"It seems that I really need to be careful with my words and actions in the future... By the way, Brother Shang, let me ask you one more question. Among the geniuses you mentioned who are interested in me, are there any female geniuses?"
