Realms In The Firmament
chapter-1351

Ye Xiao said that because he had to. He didn’t want to embarrass Jun Yinglian and hurt her feelings or hurt the brotherhood he had with Li Wuliang. What he did was to change a topic to talk to Han Bingxue!

Jun Yinglian sighed and said, “You two are truly some stupid men, especially you, Xiao Xiao. Do you think I am trying to hurt your brother? You underestimate my generousness!”

Ye Xiao and Li Wuliang were both shocked by the way Jun Yinglian talked.

Her voice sounded deep, “Now, the martial world is at a critical time. The world needs your swords… You two, especially Li Wuliang, actually only see the value of the seat of the world’s most powerful cultivator. You and your narrow views! Is it a good time to compete for the position of the world’s best? Ye Xiao has defeated Wu Fa, which gave the world a message that Ye Xiao replaces Wu Fa! If he stands high and shouts to gather the people together, with the influence you two already have, isn’t it the most efficient way to form a battle line against the calamity?

“You two are actually too stupid to realize that you are surrounded by a huge and powerful group of people.

“Sky Ice Palace, Qiong-Hua Palace, Misty Cloud Palace, Cold Moon Palace, the Black Ride Alliance… the Grey Wolves Group… As long as Ye Xiao calls for support, countless individual cultivators will join us too…

“Once the war starts, you two will have to play a role in it… Either of you will have to be the leader.

“The war is between the old force and the new force of the Qing-Yun Realm. We represent the old world, and the organization represents the new. We have to win, or we will all die…

“There won’t be two suns in the sky, as there won’t be two kings in a kingdom. We will only have one leader, who commands the army. We can’t follow two kings… It is the rule of leading… You two may never bother to think about it. I know that you don’t care. However, I was once a leader of a sect. I know how important it is. We have to decide which of you will lead us all in the war.

“Ye Xiao has defeated Wu Fa, which means he has the fame of a leader… He is our leader. He is the person whom the old world will have faith in…”

Jun Yinglian looked at Ye Xiao and Li Wuliang, “Listen. No matter who becomes the leader, it only serves the purpose of winning the war. It doesn’t mean the leader is better than the other. Brotherhood lives forever in our hearts. The only thing that changes… is only the way people call you.”

Ye Xiao stayed quiet for a while and then said, “Well, I don’t think this is necessary.”

Li Wuliang nodded and said, “Yes, it is important. Look, from now on, you are my big brother… However, I still don’t think you are the most powerful… When the war is finished, we should have a good fight and figure out who is the best!”

Ye Xiao smiled and said, “Fine. I see. You just want to get beaten up so bad. I don’t think anybody can change your stubbornness.”

Li Wuliang laughed and said, “Prime Master Jun is right. I am a man born for battles. I am great at fighting, but I can’t do those scheming works.”

“Besides…” LI Wuliang suddenly turned serious, staring at Ye Xiao, “Ye Xiao fought against the three factions for me and got killed…

“He found me after returning to this world, took care of me, cured me, gave me all those dan beads. He is the only reason I can return to my prime and even get improved.

“That is the most valuable thing I ever have, our brotherhood!

“I don’t care who is going to be the leader. Ye Xiao and I are orphans. We don’t know our ages… The only thing I know is that we are brothers!

“We trust each other with our lives.”

He sentimentally spoke.

“That’s right. No matter what happens, we trust each other with our lives!”

Ye Xiao laughed loudly.

They exchanged a look by eye contact. Apparently, they both agreed with Jun Yinglian, but they also felt speechless about it. Through the eye contact, it seemed they were saying, ‘This woman is troublesome. Let’s not go against her.’

Jun Yinglian smiled.

She knew that what she said was a bit too pushing. She spoke like she only said those words to serve the good for the world, but she probably wouldn’t say those words if Li Wuliang defeated Wu Fa, not Ye Xiao!

No matter what, she only cared for Ye Xiao. As Ye Xiao’s woman, she only wanted more for Ye Xiao.

She wanted her man to become great, to become a hero, to become famous…

At this moment, Ye Xiao had all that was required to become the most significant person in the world. As his woman, she had to do everything she could to help him. She wanted Ye Xiao to go farther, fly higher.

Ye Xiao and Li Wuliang didn’t really care who was the first and who was the second. Jun Yinglian knew that. However, Li Wuliang wasn’t a better option for the seat of the leader. He was powerful and generous, but might not be able to take care of everybody.

Ye Xiao could cover all details with his thoughtfulness.

Li Wuliang might be the strongest, but might not be able to bring all the people together.

In another world, Li Wuliang was a perfect general who could fight the war, but Ye Xiao was a leader who could win a war. Ye Xiao had proved it in Land of Han-Yang.

Besides, after everything was done in Qing-Yun Realm, Ye Xiao needed to take a bunch of people to ascend Human Realm Upon Heavens to create a new era. If he didn’t take the position of the leader, things might go wrong someday!

That was why Jun Yinglian had to get it done in such a pushing and slightly unreasonable way. On one hand, she wanted Li Wuliang to focus on fighting the enemy; on the other hand, she wanted Ye Xiao to keep gathering together the people around him, no matter in the Qing-Yun Realm, or in Human Realm Upon Heavens… They must be united.

They must stay united, descend to Human Realm Upon Heavens together, shock the world up there, and rule the realm!
