I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1664: Chapter 1664: Xu Yeming: Do You Think I’m the Head of the Courtyard? (1/3)

Xu Yeming never imagined that the Cangxuan Guardian Beast, renowned throughout the Chaos Realm, would choose him to inherit its mantle.

Dean Cangxuan, after a brief moment of astonishment, had a sad expression on his face.

Ye Qiubai glanced at Xu Yeming, then looked towards the Cangxuan Guardian Beast, sensing the surrounding death energy and guessing the guardian beast’s intention.

However, after a moment of shock, hesitation appeared in Xu Yeming’s eyes.

Noticing the hesitation, the heavy eyelids of the Xuan Master twitched slightly, and a weak voice asked, ”Unwilling?”

Dean Cangxuan also couldn’t help but turn his gaze towards Xu Yeming.

Hesitating to accept the inheritance of the Cangxuan Guardian Beast?

That was an existence standing at the pinnacle of the Chaos Realm.

Yet, Xu Yeming nodded.

The Xuan Master chuckled lightly, not minding it, ”Speak, what are you hesitating about?”

Xu Yeming voiced his thoughts, looking straight into the Xuan Master’s great eyes, which seemed to have witnessed eons and could see through everything, softly saying, ”Senior is the Guardian of the Chaos Realm, so if I accept your inheritance, that means I also shoulder the responsibility of guarding the Chaos Realm, right?”

The Xuan Master nodded, saying indifferently, ”Correct.”

”But I still have my own things I want to do,” Xu Yeming said with a bitter smile. ”But after I’ve completed them, I will have lost my objectives. Although I’ve lost my objectives, I know I am not a person of great benevolence, not thinking of guarding the Chaos Realm.”

From Xu Yeming’s perspective,

Avenging his parents and repaying his master’s kindness are the things Xu Yeming wants to do.

As for others, what do they have to do with him?

Moreover, the Chaos Realm itself is a place of deceit and ruthlessness, a place where no methods are spared for personal gain.

What value is there in guarding such a place?

Seemingly understanding what Xu Yeming was thinking, the Xuan Master’s dragon-head moved slightly, saying, ”It’s normal for you to think this way, but think about it, the people you care about are in this Chaos Realm, right? Protecting the Chaos Realm means protecting them, doesn’t it?”

Xu Yeming directly said, ”I can take them away from the Chaos Realm.”

Dean Cangxuan: ”...”

Ye Qiubai: ”...”

The Xuan Master also fell into silence for a moment, then continued, ”If you receive my inheritance, wouldn’t you be able to protect them better?”

Xu Yeming said, ”So, senior, are you trying to brainwash me?”

Dean Cangxuan looked at Ye Qiubai, somewhat dazed, saying, ”Is your junior brother always so fond of making snarky remarks?”

Especially facing the Cangxuan Guardian Beast...

Ye Qiubai covered his face, full of helplessness.

The Xuan Master suddenly laughed, ”If it were anyone else, they would immediately agree to receive my mantle when I offer it—much like how many forces, hearing that my life force is fading and I am approaching the end, are frantically searching for my whereabouts.”

”It is out of my expectations for you, but the more you are so, the more it indicates that you will not do anything irrational or harmful after accepting my inheritance.”

This time,

Xu Yeming did not immediately interrupt the Xuan Master, but his expression was one of hesitation... and somewhat strained.

Seeing this, Ye Qiubai’s expression changed slightly; he seemed to know what Xu Yeming was about to say and wanted to speak out to stop him, but the Xuan Master interrupted.

The Xuan Master noticed, then generously said, ”Speak your mind.”

Xu Yeming raised his head and asked cautiously, ”Should I really speak?”

”Really.”

”Senior won’t be angry?”

The Xuan Master smiled, ”Having lived for so long, there’s nothing I haven’t seen. Naturally, I won’t get angry over just a few words.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yeming breathed a sigh of relief, then smilingly said: ”Senior, aren’t you being a bit masochistic? You refuse to give your inheritance to those who want it, yet you think of giving it to someone who has rejected you.”

Ye Qiubai slapped himself on the face.

Indeed...

Dean Cangxuan’s mouth hung open, his face full of disbelief.

What kind of statement is this? Are these words you should be saying?

The Xuan Master’s eyelids twitched repeatedly, and he didn’t speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Xu Yeming said, ”Senior, these are your own words. You won’t be angry, right?”

The Xuan Master took a deep breath, feeling that his aura of death grew even thicker, then he burst out cursing: ”Don’t you know, the more one wants to obtain something, it means that person has more ambition? And your lack of fighting and scrambling shows you have no such ambition in your heart.”

”How can one with ambition become a Guardian?”

Hearing this, Xu Yeming sneered: ”If without ambition I received the senior’s inherited power and became what’s called a Guardian, wouldn’t that just mean I’m naively chaining myself up? Isn’t that a huge injustice?”

The Xuan Master was startled.

Although he felt what Xu Yeming said was incorrect, he couldn’t find a point to refute!

What he said actually kind of made sense, damn it!

At the same time, he felt a bit helpless and irritated inside.

It was the first time he met someone like Xu Yeming who even despised taking his inheritance?!

You know, if he found anyone else and said this, they would definitely be eager to kneel and kowtow immediately!

But there was nothing he could do.

Who made it so that only someone with a constitution like Xu Yeming could withstand his inheritance?

Thinking of this.

The Xuan Master decided to indulge Xu Yeming a bit longer, and then continued: ”But look, although accepting my inheritance entails the responsibilities of a Guardian, in all these years there hasn’t even been a need for a Guardian to intervene, and even the number of times I’ve had to act is minimal.”

Xu Yeming said: ”But aren’t you now completely drained of your vitality?”

”It’s because my lifespan has reached its end!”

”So you see, just by carrying the title of a Guardian, the senior couldn’t focus on cultivating and couldn’t venture out to other places. That’s why you couldn’t break through to higher realms or extend your lifespan.”

You son of a...

The Xuan Master finally couldn’t hold back and cursed loudly: ”Where do you get all these crooked arguments?”

”Don’t you think what I said makes sense, senior?”

The Xuan Master faltered in his speech, unable to refute and could only look to Dean Cangxuan.

Dean Cangxuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but just gave a bitter smile and said, ”It indeed makes sense.”

The Xuan Master, being able to stand at the apex of the Chaos Realm, had already proven his talent.

If it weren’t for having to guard the Chaos Realm, he indeed would have ventured out long ago.

”See?” Xu Yeming spread his hands and looked towards the Cangxuan Guardian Beast, saying, ”Besides, I think the cultivation teachings of my master are no worse than the senior’s inheritance.”

Ye Qiubai nodded in agreement.

He felt the same way.

However, the Xuan Master caught the word ”master” in Xu Yeming’s speech and couldn’t help asking, ”Oh? It seems your master is very strong, even capable of surpassing my inheritance?”

Xu Yeming countered, ”Since senior knows about my constitution, do you also know how my constitution should be cultivated?”

”That...”

This constitution has never appeared from ancient times until now; how could he possibly know how to cultivate it?

”My master knows,” Xu Yeming smiled. ”And I also know that perhaps my master could solve your issue of depleted vitality.”
