Early in the morning, in Ruihe Town, Lin Tongxi, in disguise, came to visit Jiang Yutao.
Jiang Yutao was the former system spirit. He had assisted He Yuanhong, the founding emperor of the Sheng Dynasty. After assisting in the founding of the country, he retired to the mountains.
However, the subsequent unrest in the Sheng Dynasty affected He Yuanhong's secluded place.
For the sake of the people of China, He Yuanhong comes out again, but due to his old age, his abilities have deteriorated.
If we want to save the people of China as soon as possible, we must help the troubled times.
Whenever a great chaos occurs, the System Committee will select a modern person from another world to assist the Son of Destiny in resolving the chaos and correct the development direction of this world.
After waiting for a long time, Jiang Yutao finally waited for his successor, and asked his friend Su Wuya to pass on the system bead to help him upgrade as soon as possible.
Although Jiang Yutao cannot use the power of the system to activate his skills, the power of the system can prolong Jiang Yutao's life.
When Lin Tongxi took away the system bead, Jiang Yutao's own system power was just exhausted.
Unable to obtain new system power from nearby, Jiang Yutao fell down.
However, the system bead seemed to have intelligence, and it took out a part of it and distributed it to Jiang Yutao.
So Jiang Yutao continued to survive and lived in seclusion in Yu Ruihe town.
It was not until Su Wuya invited him to participate in the wedding of Lin Tongxi and Su Ruoxue that he finally showed up and attended the wedding as Lin Tongxi's elder.
"Senior Jiang, it's me." Lin Tongxi knocked on the door.
The door opened, and Lin Tongxi saw the white-haired Jiang Yutao. His face was full of vicissitudes, but there was still light in his eyes.
"It's Tongxi... Come in and sit down." Jiang Yutao welcomed Lin Tongxi in and poured him a cup of tea.
"Judging from your expression, you must be worried about something. Tell me." Jiang Yutao took a sip of tea.
Lin Tongxi then told what had happened before and complained about Chen Yunxuan's ruthlessness.
"Well, I can understand that he wants to cultivate his own confidants." Lin Tongxi blew into the teacup several times and then quickly drank a cup of tea.
"But the problem is, how come he doesn't even trust me anymore and actually treats me as someone to be wary of?"
"Don't you think about who got this inheritance for him..."
Lin Tongxi vented all the resentment that had accumulated during this period. These words were too sensitive and he couldn't say them casually.
Only when he came to Jiang Yutao did he find a place where he could talk freely.
The person in front of him was the spirit of the previous system, and gave Lin Tongxi a fatherly feeling.
It’s a pity that his father is old and cannot provide him with strong protection. All he can do is share his years of wisdom.
"Tongxi, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger." Jiang Yutao made his judgment.
“No matter how good a person is, they will change after coming into contact with power.”
"Child, don't be too sad. Your friendship with Yunxuan is still there, and it is indelible."
"From my judgment... perhaps someone wants to sow discord between you two. Now that you are an important official of the Marquisate, they can only take over if they kill you."
"Plus, you haven't had much contact in recent times. Even if you have a lot of trust, it will eventually decrease little by little."
Lin Tongxi took a sip of tea and then poured tea into the two cups on the table.
"Alas, there's nothing I can do. I have to go on research and business talks with Ruoxue, so I have to go out."
"It's not like Chen Yunxuan, who can just command others with his mouth in Xiangjiang County."
"Alas, it's hard to even see him now, but I guess it's useless to see him."
Jiang Yutao responded softly: "Tongxi, sometimes there is no need to be so pessimistic."
"It's easier to talk things out when you meet in person. Without meeting, you can only live in each other's imaginary world."
"In their minds, you might be mistaken for someone like Motu, Mao Dehui, or Pang Xiang, all of whom relied on their power to threaten the monarch."
"If the crisis of trust is not resolved, then you will only be trapped in a zero-sum game, with both sides vying for power, and eventually trust will be exhausted and the two sides will come to blows."
Lin Tongxi nodded, comprehending the deep meaning in Jiang Yutao's words, and responded: "Then I will find a way to meet him. I just happened to be meeting Xingyao, so maybe I can ask her to call Chen Yunxuan to Chengtian Academy."
"Well, let's meet first." Jiang Yutao continued to sip his tea, then changed the subject and mentioned Lin Tongxi's current situation.
"How far has your system version been upgraded?" Jiang Yutao asked.
"Uh...it's still 8.0." Lin Tongxi replied.
"Huh? Where did you spend the system's power?" Jiang Yutao was shocked. After so long, the other party still hadn't reached level 9.0. This was different from when he assisted Emperor Shengwu.
"Ah... too much system power is spent on teammates. In addition, the upgraded skills also consume a lot of system power to use." Lin Tongxi explained.
Jiang Yutao shook his head, feeling a bit disappointed with himself, and responded: "Tongxi, only when you become strong yourself can you be truly strong."
"You have to understand that you are the system. No matter how powerful others are, they can't compare to you, the golden finger."
"Skills like [Gods Descend] and [Creating Something Out of Nothing] are only available to you."
"Other people are just mortals, and they also have their own things to do. They may not necessarily help you."
"For example, Chen Yunxuan is even starting to be wary of you."
"If you were a ninth-rank Martial Ordinary and Chen Yunxuan was a first-rank Martial Sect Master, do you think Chen Yunxuan would continue to respect you?"
"If he does, then what about others? Will Gao Zhao try to assassinate you?"
Lin Tongxi was stunned. His previous idea was to improve the strength of his teammates as much as possible.
