C957 Qin Dongtian's Advice
"Elder Qin..."
"Xue Chen, you have lost your sense of propriety." Qin Hantian said neither lightly nor heavily. "Otherwise, you would never have asked such a question."
"But it's human nature to ask such a question. After all, when something like this happens, everyone will panic and lose their sense of propriety."
"Comparatively speaking, this is already considered good enough!"
"Since the other party dares to take action, then it means that the other party is hiding very deeply. No matter who it is, no one knows who this person is. You can't find any information at all."
Hearing Qin Hantian's words, Xue Chen's face turned slightly red. Only now did he realize that he was being rude.
"Thank you for your advice, Elder Qin."
"I didn't do anything." Qin Hantian said calmly, "It's just that those who are watching can't see clearly. Besides, you don't need to care too much about it. I don't think they will attack again."
"Why do you say that, Elder Qin?"
"Why did he destroy the Bai Family?" Qin Hantian asked.
"Let me take the blame!"
"Think about it carefully!" Qin Hantian said with a calm expression.
Xue Chen thought for a moment. I have a grudge against the Bai Family. When I was bombing the Bai Family, I said Bai Guiqi, I will slaughter your entire family!"
"Now that the Bai Family is destroyed, the enemy wants to create a panic and use this panic to destroy everyone's psychological defense."
"Yes, psychological tactics!" Qin Hantian looked at Xue Chen and said, "What about destroying the Zhang Family?"
"The Zhang Family saved Bai Guiqi and stopped me from killing Bai Guiqi. The enemy used human nature to destroy the Bai Family. It made everyone think that I, Xue Chen, have started to use the Dragon Slaying Saber to take revenge. Whoever dares to block my way, I will let them die."
"This will cause greater panic and make everyone panic even more."
"If the Bai Family is just a pot of warm water, although it is a little hot, it is not enough to scare everyone. After all, everyone knows about the grudges between me and the Bai Family, but the destruction of the Zhang Family has completely boiled the pot of water!"
"The analogy is very appropriate!" Qin Hantian said softly, "That should be what the other party means."
"Now that the Bai Family is gone, there are some reactions, but they are not too serious and can still be controlled. But now that the Zhang Family is gone, everyone will start to feel threatened and get together."
"Two families have been destroyed in a row. There's no reason for him to destroy the other families. It's fine as long as he can stop it. If he does too much, it won't be of any use to him." Qin Hantian said unhurriedly, "Of course, if he does, it will only speed up the gathering of everyone."
"That's why I think that either he won't attack again, or he will move again." Qin Hantian said seriously, "Their actions are completely dependent on your actions."
Xue Chen's eyes flashed. "Elder Qin means..."
"They will help you kill whoever you touch." Qin Hantian said simply, "It will create a chain reaction."
"Thank you for your advice, Elder Qin. I think I know what I should do next." Xue Chen said gratefully.
"I'm just trying to atone for my sins. Of course, I don't want to see the Qin Family being destroyed by someone." Qin Hantian said softly, "But Xue Chen... There's one more thing I need to remind you of!
"Please speak, Elder Qin."
"No matter if you attack or not, these people will work together. The mastermind has achieved his goal. It is just a matter of time."
"Continue attacking and speed up their cooperation. If you don't attack, your speed will become slightly slower, but the result will be the same."
"I know that."
Xue Chen was very clear about what Qin Hantian said.
No matter what Xue Chen did now, the outcome would be the same. The other party's conspiracy had been completely pushed forward. He had no way to stop it. Or rather, he could not find any way to stop it.
Everything had already been decided. What Xue Chen could do now was to use force to stop the situation. At the same time, he would give up on attacking and slow down the pace of these people.
He did not need anything now. All he needed was time!
"Then what do you plan to do?"
"Right now, it seems like I'm being led by the enemy's nose. What I want to do doesn't count!"
Qin Hantian smiled bitterly. "Yes. You were led by the nose by someone else, but don't you have any plans?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. I have to think about it slowly. The other party is too dark. I can't take this beating. I need to think properly and calm down." Xue Chen said seriously.
"It's good to think about it carefully." Qin Hantian said quietly, "If you need my help, just let me know. I won't be stingy if you can help me. If you can't, I will try my best to help you."
"But if there is really nothing I can do..."
"Elder Qin's words are enough!" Xue Chen said with a satisfied expression.
After that, Xue Chen chatted with Qin Hantian for a while and left the Qin Family.
One had to admit that he was very experienced. After chatting with Qin Hantian, Xue Chen felt that other than the person behind the scenes who could not be found, many things had become clear.
Therefore, Xue Chen's trip to the Qin Family was not in vain.
Xue Chen had just walked out of the Qin Family. He did not go far when he met an old acquaintance - Feng Yuan of the Dragon Gate.
Feng Yuan was still the same as before. She gave off a proud and aloof feeling. She wore a tight suit that accentuated her heroic and heroic demeanor.
"Sect Master will see you!" Feng Yuan looked at Xue Chen and said straightforwardly.
Xue Chen was not surprised at all. Feng Yuan had appeared in front of him several times. Basically, every time it was related to the dragon gate. It was Zuo Cheng'ao who gave her the task.
So now that Feng Yuan said that Zuo Cheng'ao wanted to see him, Xue Chen was not surprised at all.
But why did Zuo Cheng'ao want to see him?
For the Bai Family or the Zhang Family?
Xue Chen didn't have a good impression of Zuo Cheng'ao now. After all, he knew that Zuo Cheng'ao was just a hypocritical hypocrite.
"Lead the way!"
Feng Yuan did not say much along the way. Xue Chen naturally did not say anything.
Although the atmosphere in the carriage was somewhat gloomy, it was still considered harmonious.
This time, Zuo Cheng'ao did not want to see him in the clubhouse, but in the courtyard in the old alley in Jing City.
The alleys in the capital originated from the Yuan Dynasty. There were more than six thousand famous streets in the capital city. People used to take all the streets and alleys into alleys.
The ancient people used to describe this place as "famous alleys 360, nameless alleys like cow's hair"!
The alleys here had been through hundreds of years. Like an old man, they witnessed the rise and fall of the capital.
Xue Chen followed Feng Yuan into a courtyard that did not occupy a large area. However, it was quite old.
Due to the arrival of winter, a date tree in the courtyard had already become a withered branch.
Zuo Cheng'ao sat under the date tree. Beside him was a stove. On top of it was a wine pot that had been completely blackened by the fire.
He was burning the wine!
Burning the wine was not a rare thing. Many old people would boil the wine during winter.
But Zuo Cheng'ao percolating the wine was a little rare.
After seeing Xue Chen come in, Zuo Cheng'ao immediately called for Xue Chen to sit by the side. Feng Yuan, on the other hand, tactfully left the place.
"You came at the right time. It was just hot. Come and have a drink!"
As he spoke, Zuo Cheng'ao poured Xue Chen a cup.
It could be seen that Zuo Cheng'ao had prepared everything beforehand.
What puzzled Xue Chen was why there were four wine cups placed in front of him. Could it be that someone else was coming?
Xue Chen did not know, but he did not refuse.
"Do you like hot wine?"
"I used to like it, but I don't like it now." Zuo Cheng'ao said calmly.
"Why?"
"The person who can drink with me is no longer here. What's the point of drinking alone?" Zuo Cheng'ao asked quietly.
As he spoke, Zuo Cheng'ao poured wine into two wine cups beside him.
Xue Chen really wanted to ask Zuo Cheng'ao what he was doing, but when the words reached the tip of his tongue, he still did not say it in the end.
"Come, have a drink!"
Zuo Cheng'ao raised the small wine cup in his hand and looked at Xue Chen with a smile.
Xue Chen did not refuse. He picked up the wine cup and gently touched Zuo Cheng'ao's, then drank it all.
"How is it?"
"It tastes good, and the heat is just right." Xue Chen smiled. "It's perfect for this weather."
Zuo Cheng'ao smiled and poured Xue Chen another cup.
"Nowadays, very few young people have the time to boil wine and drink." Zuo Cheng'ao sighed and said, "Many things left behind by the ancestor are about to be forgotten."
"Yes!" Xue Chen could not help but agree.
Let's just talk about tea!
Tea was passed down in Huaxia, right? But now, when it came to drinking tea, the first thing people thought of was Fusung and not Huaxia.
Many good things in Huaxia were not widely spread in their own countries. Instead, they were regarded as treasures by people from other countries. However, these people in their own countries regarded the things that other countries thought were trash as treasures.
One had to say, this was a kind of irony!
At this moment, Zuo Cheng'ao picked up the two wine cups in front of him and poured them on the ground.
After seeing this scene, Xue Chen frowned slightly.
He poured the wine on the ground, either to worship the heavens and the earth, or to commemorate someone who had passed away.
Clearly, Zuo Cheng'ao was not worshipping the heavens and the earth, but to commemorate some people.
After that, Zuo Cheng'ao filled all four wine cups, then looked at Xue Chen and said, "Is it very suspicious?"
Xue Chen nodded. "A little."
"I used to like hot wine, especially during this season. Hot wine is a pleasure for me, but now it is a torture!"
Zuo Cheng'ao's face showed an unprecedented bitterness as he spoke. "But I can't control myself from burning wine. I don't miss them!"
