Chapter 0274 – The Game of Good and Evil – Absolute Return

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

"The reason why I didn’t kill them today is because I have more important things to do." Jian Wuji paused and continued, "I want them to watch with their own eyes how, step by step, I trampled the entire Jianghu under my feet!"

"Young Lord is wise!"

When Red Flame heard this, he suddenly came to a realization and hurriedly patted his ass.

"Hehe, less ass-kissing." Jian Wuji laughed and shook his head, saying, "Let’s go, it’s time for us to get down to business."

"Young Lord, where are we going now?"

Red Flame asked as he drove the carriage.

"To meet someone."

"What man?"

"Someone who can help us."

A secluded valley hides an ancient manor.

Deep within the manor, a middle-aged man wearing a green shirt with an elegant face was sitting in his study, holding a volume of ancient books in his hands and reading them carefully.

This person, was none other than the renowned Wisdom Star in the Jianghu, Sima Ming.

"Sir, you wanted to see me?"

A crisp voice rang out from outside the study.

When Sima Ming heard this, he put down the books in his hands and looked up, only to see a young man dressed in black, standing in the doorway.

This youth, no one else, was none other than Jian Wuji.

"Young Lord, you’re here."

Sima Ming hurriedly got up and bowed respectfully.

"There is no need to be polite, sir." Jian Wuji smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I came today because I have something to ask."

"Young Lord, please."

"I want to ask you sir to do me a favor." Jian Wuji paused and continued, "I want you to help me and dismantle the Martial Alliance!"

"Why?"

Qin Xiajun snapped his head up, his eyes burning as he stared at Jian Wuji and asked.

Instead of answering his question directly, Jian Wuji asked in return, "Young Warrior Qin, do you really know your grandfather?"

Qin Xiajun froze at the words.

He grew up admiring his grandfather and always looked up to him and tried to be like him.

But did he really know his grandfather?

It was a question he had never seriously thought about.

"What do you mean?" Qin Xiajun asked with a frown.

"My point is simple," Jian Wuji said indifferently, "Do you think that your grandfather really wants you to become the Martial Alliance Master?"

"This ……"

Qin Xiajun was at a loss for words.

He had never doubted his grandfather’s expectations of him, but Jian Wuji’s words caused a slight wavering in his heart.

"Your grandfather, was a true hero who gave his life’s work for the sake of the martial arts." Jian Wuji continued, "What he wanted, was someone who could lead the martial arts to prosperity, not an ambitious person who would only fight for power and profit!"

Qin Xiajun’s face, became increasingly ugly.

He realized that Jian Wuji’s words had poked him in the sore spot with every word.

He had always lived under his grandfather’s aura and had never really known his grandfather’s inner world.

"You …… you nonsense!" Qin Xiajun roared in annoyance.

"Whether I am talking nonsense or not, you know it in your own heart." Jian Wuji said coldly, "Think about it, do you really deserve the words ‘Martial Alliance Master’?"

After saying that, Jian Wuji no longer paid attention to Qin Xiajun and turned to leave.

Qin Xiajun stood frozen in place, the words of Jian Wuji constantly echoing in his mind.

He suddenly realized that he had been living in a kind of illusory dream all along.

He thought that if he worked hard, he could become like his grandfather.

But he was wrong!

There was an unbridgeable gap between him and his grandfather.

That gap is called "pattern"!

"Young Lord, why did you say those things to him?"

After leaving the Thousand Flowers Sect, Red Flame couldn’t help but ask.

"Because he needs a lesson." Jian Wuji said indifferently.

"But ……"

Red Flame wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Jian Wu Ji.

"I know what you want to say." Jian Wuji said, "You’re trying to say that by doing so, will you force him to the opposite side of us?"

"Subordinate wouldn’t dare." Red Flame hurriedly bowed his head and said.

"Hehe, you don’t need to be nervous, I understand what you mean." Jian Wuji smiled and said, "However, there are some things that are not as simple as you think."

"My subordinate is stupid, please ask the Young Lord for clarification." Red Flame said respectfully.

"The reason why I said those words to him today was not to force him to our opposing sides, but to make him recognize himself." Jian Wuji paused and continued, "He is a very talented young man, but his heart, is not mature enough. He needs to experience some setbacks before he can truly grow up."

"Young Lord is wise!"

When Red Flame heard this, he suddenly came to a realization and hurriedly patted his ass.

"Hehe, less ass-kissing." Jian Wuji laughed and shook his head, saying, "Let’s go, it’s time for us to get down to business."

"What do you think, sir, am I doing the right thing?"

Jian Wuji looked at Sima Ming and asked.

"Young Lord, you are doing this for his own good." Sima Ming said with a smile, "He is a very talented young man, but his heart, is not mature enough. He needs to experience some setbacks before he can truly grow up."

"I hope so." Jian Wuji sighed and said.

He understood in his heart that Qin Xiajun was a worthy opponent, but he hoped, more than anything, that Qin Xiajun would become a true hero rather than an ambitious person who would only fight for power and gain.

"Young Lord, don’t worry." Sima Ming said, "I believe that he will definitely understand your painstaking efforts."

"I hope so." Jian Wuji sighed again and said.

He understood in his heart that this battle between good and evil had just begun.

And the final outcome of this fight will determine the fate of the entire Jianghu!
