Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 868 Extraordinary Life

Genie's robes rustled under the wind and sand in Longxi.

He approached Gu Xun step by step, his steps steady and powerful.

However, Gu Xun still heard that his aura was somewhat disordered, and it was obvious that he had experienced a hard battle before.

Gu Xun leaned against the wall and chuckled, "It seems that Wei Zhuang still holds back."

Gai Nie replied in a deep voice, "Xiaozhuang knows very well that I don't want to fight him."

As a strategist, the most important thing is decision-making.

Wei Zhuang knew that Gai Nie had no intention of fighting him to the death, so he had just fought and did not insist on forcing Gai Nie to stay.

Of course, this is not because he is so considerate and understanding of his senior brother...well, he does not rule out this possibility, but generally speaking, it is because he knows that if Genie doesn't want to fight, he can't force him.

For Wei Zhuang, finding Gai Nie was never difficult, but what was difficult was that Gai Nie had to fight him to the death.

This is also the reason why he is willing to go to Longxi.

Genie betrayed the empire and came to the far western border for no apparent reason. There must be something wrong with it, and there might be an opportunity that he could take advantage of.

Hearing this, Gu Xun couldn't help but shake his head, and said with emotion, "You two senior fellow apprentices really... don't even know how to describe you."

"..." Gai Nie lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Xiao Zhuang... maybe he just wants to win against me once."

Gu Xun couldn't help but rolled his eyes and denied, "I don't think so."

"As disciples of the Strategist family, you two have absolutely the best judgment in the world, and you definitely know what the outcome of a deadly fight between the two sides will be."

"Wei Zhuang can't win against you, and it's hard for you to truly defeat Wei Zhuang with even one move or a half. The result is nothing more than losing both sides, or even worse, both dying together."

"This kind of meaningless ending is definitely not what Wei Zhuang would crave for."

"..." Gai Nie was silent again.

He knew in his heart that what Wei Zhuang wanted was not the so-called victory.

The Zonghe family only accepts two disciples in a generation, one vertical and one horizontal, but only one can survive and inherit the name of Guiguzi.

Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang are considered by their master to be the most outstanding disciples of the strategists in the past century. In theory, they will create the most exciting strategist duel.

But in fact, the two of them will never reach the level of Pang Juan and Sun Bin.

In fact, this is also the result of Guiguzi's deliberate indulgence.

The world is about to usher in a major change that has not happened in hundreds of years, or even thousands of years. The Zongheng decision has no meaning and there is no need to continue.

The vertical one unites the weak to attack one strong one; the horizontal one unites one strong one to attack the weak ones.

But now, if the vertical ones can't unite, and the horizontal ones can't attack, what else is there to oppose?

Wei Zhuang just couldn't stand some of Gai Nie's actions.

On the contrary, Gai Nie did the same to Wei Zhuang.

To put it bluntly, it's like two brothers who are at odds with each other. If they don't like each other, they want to stay away from each other.

It's just that Gai Nie has a reserved and peaceful temperament, and he has too many things on his mind, so he doesn't want to argue with Wei Zhuang. But Wei Zhuang is the opposite. He has a hot temper and a straightforward temper, and he has a lot of free time to find trouble.

To be honest, if their genders were opposite, this would simply be a show of affection, so Gu Xun was too lazy to talk to Wei Zhuang most of the time and did not provide any help for his 'brother control' behavior.

Occasionally, he would make some sarcastic remarks.

Of course, this is just a joking summary. The differences between the two will definitely not be a minor issue like young people losing their temper, but a conflict between ideals, ambitions, or... life concepts.

It’s hard to say what’s right or wrong, and it’s hard to reconcile. After Gai Nie was silent for a long time, he made the same choice as Gu Xun when he faced the snow girl before - avoid talking.

He directly bypassed the topic of Wei Zhuang and talked about Tianming.

"National Master, you have always known that Tianming is here, right?"

Gu Xun narrowed his eyes and nodded, "I found this child as soon as I came back from Wei."

"I have to say that the people of the Yin Yang family are really good at scheming. They brought people to such a remote place in the far west, which made me look for them for more than half a year."

Gai Nie frowned, "Is this all part of the Yin Yang family's plan?"

Gu Xun smacked his lips, shook his head and said in denial, "Not entirely."

"In fact, in order to ensure that Ying Zheng could not find anyone, even the Yin and Yang family did not know Tianming's subsequent whereabouts."

"At least that's what I know. As for whether I really don't know, or whether I'm just pretending to deceive me, I'm not sure."

In order to determine Tianming's location as soon as possible, he spent two or three months with Yueshen, but he couldn't get a satisfactory answer. The other party only said that the Yin and Yang family didn't know.

There was no other way, so Gu Xun had no choice but to let the white phoenixes fill the world to find the needle in the haystack.

Of course, two key areas are still designated.

One is all the towns radiating out from the center of Waning Moon Valley, and the other is the towns on the border of Longxi.

Finally, we successfully found someone in Longxi.

"Has the Imperial Master never interfered with his life in these years?" Gai Nie pondered for a moment, temporarily pressing down on the affairs of the Yin Yang family, and then asked again.

Gu Xun raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Why, do you think I shouldn't ignore him and let this child suffer for many years?"

Gai Nie shook his head, "Just asking."

Even if Jing Ke died at the hands of Gu Xun, he would not think that Gu Xun had the responsibility to take care of Tianming.

Gu Xun knew that Gai Nie had no such intention, but he continued to explain, "I think you should know by now that this child Tianming is not simple."

"He has a very special meaning, so Ying Zheng and the Yin Yang family went to war for him."

Gai Nie's eyes flashed and he interjected, "Does the Imperial Master know what's so special about Tianming?"

Gu Xun spread his hands and replied regretfully, "Unfortunately, I don't know."

"I know some of the art of stargazing and qi of the Yin Yang family. Tianming's destiny star and qi number are very special. I don't understand the specific meaning."

"But one thing is certain, once you take this child with you, neither Ying Zheng nor the Yin Yang family will let you go."

Gai Nie asked back, "Is that why the Imperial Master would just sit back and watch Tianming get involved in this matter?"

If Tianming had not been involved in this incident of fighting the Demon God, Ge Nie would still be sure to continue to hide it, but now, it would be a matter of time before it was exposed.

Gu Xun shrugged, "This child's life is destined to be extraordinary. Why forcefully shape his life according to our ideas?"

"Besides, even if this incident hadn't happened, it would still be impossible for him to remain silent forever."

"As early as when he left Xianyang Palace, everything had already begun."

"What do you mean?" Genie asked in a deep voice.

"You will find out when you have real contact with that child." Gu Xun did not answer directly, but just replied vaguely, "Well... maybe you will feel bad by then, but I think it's not a bad idea. Not a good thing."
