Chapter 1784: Emotion Hinders Success

“The problem now is that there are two tigers on one mountain. If these men have to choose one side over the other, what will you do? How will those people choose? It must be difficult for them!” Xuan Bing said.

Ye Xiao stayed silent.

“In my opinion, the seven clans sent their people, even their heirs to us because they couldn’t see hope from Ye Yunduan. The Monarch’s Hall is a backup plan.

“Compared to Ye Yunduan, you are more likely going to rise. To rise to the top of the world on your side seems to be a better choice.

“However, the fake Young Master Yunduan was falling… Things are different. If the real Young Master Yunduan is a good leader, and if the Great Ye Clan sends more men to support him, he will win. A newly built organization can never compare a great clan that has just returned from the one-hundred-year acc.u.mulation. When the Great Ye Clan rises again, will the men of the Seven Lotus Clans regret it? Will the chiefs of the seven clans give the order to make their people leave us?

“We won’t be able to stop them…”

Xuan Bing looked at Ye Xiao and said, shaking her head, “Master, it was a great plan to unite the seven clans and get their support. However, it is going to be a threat to you!”

Ye Xiao shook his head and sighed. “I know. That’s why I am having a headache. What can I do?”

Xuan Bing thought for a while and then gently said, “Things were in good paces now. After all, the seven clans and the Heaven’s Leaf both owe you a big favor. You saved the seven old masters and the real Young Master Yunduan. For a long time, n.o.body will rise against you. At least, before they become certainly powerful, they won’t be your enemies. It is all about balancing though… It is all about interests…”

Xuan Bing said in a low voice, “When it comes to the question about who is going to rule the City of Chaos, the Limitless Ocean, and even the entire Human Realm Upon Heavens…”

Ye Xiao was shocked, and he looked at Xuan Bing, who was in his arms.

He obviously was surprised that Xuan Bing had seen so far.

Xuan Bing softly smiled and said, “Master, I am your Bing’er, but I am also Xuan Bing. I am not good at schemes and tactics, but I at least know what they are. If I don’t even know what my man has in mind, what kind of a female demon am I?

“I know that you are not after power and influence. I know you only want absolute power in the path of cultivation. You knew you were too weak after you came to this world, so you did a lot of things to keep yourself safe and to protect your people.

“After this organization was built, you turned out to have more burdens on your shoulders. There are more people that need your protection. To stand in a world where the biggest fist rules, you have to do your best to become more influential. However, in the end, the problem is still you. You are not strong enough.

“Master, your biggest advantage and worst shortage were the same thing… Your responsibility!

“Your women, family, friends, subordinates… They are all your responsibilities. You can’t let go. You won’t. You want to create a peaceful life for everybody, a bright future.

“Don’t deny it. The Monarch’s Hall is the proof. You don’t want to be the monarch. You want everybody to be a monarch in the martial world. It is too big. It seems to be impossible!

“In the Human Realm Upon Heavens, you have to fight with blood and lives to become more influential.

“Master, because of your responsibility, you have started to run on the path of the fight for dominion!

“When you built the Monarch’s Hall, you might not want to rule the world. However, you have attended the compet.i.tion now. It is too late to stop.

“You are an honorable man. It is good. However, the responsibility in your heart has abducted you!” Xuan Bing raised up her head and looked at Ye Xiao. “Whoever succeeded in history were great heroes! Master, you don’t want to be a hero like that!

“A hero like that would do anything it takes for power. You can’t do it. You keep telling people that n.o.body can cross your bottom line. You think you can do anything it takes for your goal. However, there are many things that exhaust you. Your pride, your esteem, your family, your women, your brothers, your subordinates… These are your bottom lines!

“You have started it, and you can’t go back now.” Xuan Bing’s eyes were glittering. She said, “There are sayings from ancient times. Mercy can’t rule an army. Emotion can’t reach success. Honor can’t earn money. Kindness can’t govern people. Why? There are things a great leader must do.

“Master, you can’t abandon any of the four things!” Xuan Bing took a long sigh.

“You always say you are a heroic and honorable man.” Xuan Bing said, “Your enemies would love to hear it, and they would laugh about it. However, I know you are telling the truth.

“You are kind. You can’t bear watching innocent men suffer.” Xuan Bing looked at Ye Xiao. “It is a virtue… However, you are in a compet.i.tion for the highest position in the world…

“Your virtues will become the barrier on your way up.

“When you are fighting the final battle, you have to abandon anything else to hold the victory. Perhaps, you will still care for those men who have followed you for a long time, but they may not treat you as nicely as it was.”
