Chapter 965 Fame and Strength

Thank you very much for the donations from Big Flying Pig (100), Fanyu 645098 (100), and star66 Protoss (100)!

Xu Ziyan smiled faintly at Xu Haoqun this time, and said softly: "Uncle Haoqun, please get up."

"Thank you king!"

Xu Haoqun's voice was extremely resonant, not at all like a person who had lost his cultivation. When he stood up, his mental strength was in a state of excitement. There is only one voice in his heart at this moment: "The Xu family is about to regain its glory!"

Seeing the gray-haired Xu Haoqun sitting on a chair with a respectful attitude towards himself, Xu Ziyan thought about it in his heart. Although Xu Haoqun in front of him has been overly cautious all his life, after all, he should have his own unique ideas for supporting the Xu family in the Central Plains until now. He looked at Xu Haoqun and said with a smile: "Uncle Haoqun, although the Xu family has gained some fame in the vast continent, the reputation of the ancient Xu family has once again appeared in this world. However, after all, I have brought these Xu family disciples together. We haven't been together for a long time, you have been in charge of family affairs for a long time, you can be said to have rich knowledge and experience, can you do something for the family?"

Xu Haoqun raised his white eyebrows, and a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes. When Xu Ziyan said these words, he had accepted him in his heart. And just now Xu Ziyan has said that the position of king of the Xu family will be passed on to Xu Xingfan after all. He has also reflected on himself these days, and his attitude towards Xu Xingfan before was really inappropriate. On the one hand, Xu Xingfan was cultivated into a flower in the greenhouse, on the other hand, it also deprived him of his dignity as a king, which made Xu Xingfan how to lead the family to glory.

However, now that Xu Ziyan has cultivated Xu Xingfan, with Xu Ziyan's character, we can see what Xu Ziyan has done since his debut. I know that Xu Ziyan will definitely not keep Xu Xingfan at home, and will definitely let Xu Xingfan experience wind and rain. Such Xu Xingfan will definitely grow up quickly.

She was able to bring the Xu family together in such a short period of time. There is no shortage of every lineage, and the training direction for Xing Fan has been established, such a mature and sophisticated king. But ask me for advice. Are you really asking for advice, or are you testing yourself?

I need some unique insights. Only in this way can Xu Ziyan value himself. To value himself means to value the more than 800 disciples he brought, and even more so to Xu Xingfan. Think here. Xu Haoqun is like a thousand years ago. When I was still young, facing my elders, I raised my spirits, straightened my spine, and asked attentively: "What aspect does the king want to ask?"

Xu Ziyan said: "As the so-called authorities are obsessed, bystanders are clear. <>-/ -<>-Advertisement In the full text, you can talk about the current situation and future development of the Xu family from the perspective of a bystander."

Xu Haoqun frowned deeply. Glancing at Xu Ziyan quietly, I was a little tangled in my heart: "Am I saying it according to my original intention? Or flattering her?"

Seeing Xu Haoqun with his head slightly down, Xu Ziyan didn't speak for a while.

He frowned slightly, feeling a little impatient. Seeing it, Xu Xingfan coughed lightly, waking up Xu Haoqun who was thinking. Then I also saw Xu Ziyan's impatience, and I turned my heart. No matter how you look at it, Xu Ziyan seems to be wholeheartedly for the family. I'd better tell the truth. So, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "I don't have any skills, otherwise the Xu family in the Central Plains would not be almost extinct. But they lived longer, but they have always had some ideas, and I will tell the king today for reference. If there is something inappropriate, I also ask the king to forgive me."

Xu Ziyan cheered up and said: "Ziyan is sincerely asking Uncle Haoqun for advice, and I also ask Uncle Haoqun to speak up."

Xu Haoqun settled down, and after pondering for a while, he said slowly: "From my point of view, although the Xu family appears to be thriving on the outside, it is actually full of crises."

Xu Ziyan frowned slightly, then stretched it out again in an instant, and asked softly, "Why did uncle say that?"

Xu Haoqun said with a smile: "The biggest crisis of the Xu family is that their reputation does not match their strength. On the vast continent, the Xu family has already gained a great reputation. I think after this alchemy competition, the Xu family's reputation will be even stronger. Loud. But, does the Xu family have the strength to match this reputation?

If one side wants to last long, no matter it is a family or a sect, it must have the strength commensurate with its reputation. In other words, as much strength as you have, you can fight for as much fame as you want. Even with 100% strength, but only fighting for 80% reputation, or even 60% reputation. Only in this way can one be able to secretly accumulate background information without being well-known, otherwise, the rafters in the early years will be rotten first, and will be regarded as a thorn in the eyes by the surrounding forces.

We can go back to the various forces on the vast continent, whether it is Da Luotian, Xiao Luotian, or Lihuozong and Tianyu City, all of them are here in their initial stage. Even now, the strength they have shown outside is only 60% to 70% of their real strength, I believe. This is the background of a super sect and the steps of their development. "

When Xu Ziyan heard it, he understood it in his heart, and a wry smile flashed across his mouth: "Uncle, what do you mean is that the Xu family's reputation does not match its strength?"

Xu Haoqun nodded without hesitation and said: "It's not that they don't match, but that they are very different. The Xu family's current strength, even if there are monks in the distraction stage as the king said, all the six hundred disciples in the battle hall will soon become Nascent Soul stage Cultivator, but compared with the strength of the four major sects. No! Even compared with the three major sects, the overall strength is much worse.

But what about the reputation of our Xu family? It is almost as famous as the Four Vehicles. "

Speaking of this, he glanced at Xu Ziyan and said: "Our Xu family's reputation today is almost all won by the king alone. To put it bluntly, if the Xu family does not have a king, I am afraid that even the third-rate forces in the Central Plains will not be able to catch up. With such strength The huge difference between fame and reputation will become the bane of the Xu family."

The voice suddenly stopped, Xu Haoqun looked a little embarrassed, and said to Xu Ziyan: "the king, uncle has absolutely no intention of committing crimes. These days, uncle has also had a deep review of the king's experience. Now the king has gained such a great The reputation of the king was not taken on his own initiative, but was forced to come all the way to today. However, it is precisely because of this that it further proves that the king did not gain fame in a planned way, but was forced to act helplessly. . This makes the situation of the Xu family even more dangerous."

Xu Ziyan was stunned, yes! The reputation he has gained now sounds like he won it majestically by overcoming obstacles all the way, but in reality? Every increase in my reputation is forced, not my original intention. Just like my original thoughts on Da Luotian, I didn't want to fight Da Luotian. After all, the ancient grievances were too far away from me, but in the end I was forced to the opposite of Da Luotian. With the Xu family's current strength, can they really compete with Da Luotian? Is Da Luotian the only enemy of the Xu family on the vast continent?

He let out a long breath, looked at Xu Haoqun, and asked sincerely: "Uncle, this difference in reputation and strength is just a crisis for the Xu family. Are there any omissions in the details?"

Seeing Xu Ziyan's sincere question, Xu Haoqun let go of his hanging heart. It seems that the king is not dazzled by the fame in front of him, but he is really a wise master. Xu Haoqun's heart also became excited, and he once again pulled himself together to express his thoughts one by one.

Xu Ziyan has come step by step since the secular world, but in the decomposition of Xu Haoqun, with the growth of cultivation base, the crisis he is facing is constantly magnifying. The higher the cultivation base, the stronger the power, the more severe the crisis, and the stronger the enemy. Xu Ziyan also doesn't understand that it seems that other people's cultivation of immortality is not as difficult as his own, so why is he so fateful.

However, with Xu Haoqun's analysis, Xu Ziyan gradually understood. There are two important reasons for the current situation. One is that he doesn't have the slightest background. If he also has a background like a powerful sect, it will naturally save a lot of trouble. The second is that I grew up too fast, and I didn't have time to build up a power that matched my own. In this way, I will definitely become an alternative in the eyes of others. When a person is incompatible with the surrounding environment, her fate will naturally become difficult.

Xu Ziyan couldn't help laughing bitterly, and remembered a sentence in a trance, a person who transcends the times is a sinner in this era!

Is it mediocrity not to be envied?

After chatting with Xu Haoqun for a while, he told Xu Xingfan and Xu Haoqun that after Xiaobai and Hope came back, they would be sent back to Lianhua Peak immediately. Afterwards, in front of them, he took out the communication jade slip and communicated with Xu Dingyang, informing Xu Xingfan and others of the return of the Central Plains Xu family, and explained his arrangements and some ideas for the Central Plains Xu family. Xu Dingyang over there naturally did everything. After putting down the communication jade slip, Xu Ziyan frowned slightly, because Xu Dingyang told him the news that Huo Wu left Lianhua Peak. The specific whereabouts, Huo Wu did not say.

"Brother, where did you go?"

Xu Ziyan shook his head and put the matter aside temporarily. He chatted with Xu Xingfan and Xu Haoqun for a while, sent the two of them out, and told them not to come to me for the time being, to hide their identities. Waiting and hoping for their return, she would send for them.

Cheng Yaoge was still refining alchemy there, and when Xu Ziyan walked in, he had just finished refining a batch of alchemy. After opening the lid of the alchemy furnace, his face collapsed. Xu Ziyan stretched out his head and glanced into the alchemy furnace, then straightened up and patted Cheng Yaoge's shoulder and said: "It doesn't matter, practice slowly, there is still time before the Qipindan Competition!"

Sitting on a chair, raising his hand to support his chin, looking at Cheng Yaoge, but thinking about something on his mind.

When the door was dark, Yan Shanhun walked in, waved and threw a storage bag to Xu Ziyan. Xu Ziyan hurriedly reached out to catch it, and when he swept in with his consciousness, he saw a pile of jade slips, but it was Yanshan soul who had worked hard all day to record all his refining skills.

He happily put away the storage bag, and saluted Yanshan Soul: "Thank you for the generous gift!"

Ask for a pink ticket!
