635: Chapter 10: On a Whim 635: Chapter 10: On a Whim Ah, this…
When Lie Que True Lord made this comnt, everyone present, including Principal He and Chairman Chen, looked at each other in disbelief, thinking that they had heard a sarcastic remark.
An Xuan’s design is outlandish?
That much is true.
Without touching on how incredibly unbelievable things like the Great Void Altar with a direct connection to Xuanye City and the Formation Core Self-Destruction Device are, just in terms of technology and imagination alone, they represent the work of a super genius far beyond the normal level.
Simply put, if there is one person capable of having such ideas and also intending to implent them in a thousand years, then Xuanye City will have received a millennium’s worth of blessings.
But to say his answers and analysis are compelling and thorough?
Really?
For a mont, even the directors present, whose reverence had sunk deep into their bones, couldn’t help but harbor irreverent thoughts in their hearts, suspecting whether Lie Que True Lord was getting senile with age and losing his ntal faculties?
They thought the old man should stay at ho, drinking tea or broth, or at worst so herbal tea—suddenly coming out to make a statent could truly scare everyone to death!
This was the initial thought.
A mont later, everyone dismissed all these irreverent thoughts and began to wholeheartedly agree with Lie Que True Lord’s appraisal.
—Indeed, as he said, An Xuan truly is a genius for he discovered errors they had not noticed and found solutions to problems they had not identified!
—Although they do not yet know where they went wrong, in any case, they were wrong!
A True Monarch?
A True Monarch indeed!
How could he possibly be wrong?
It must be they, his subordinates, who failed to comprehend the True Monarch and An Xuan’s spirit!
Even if the old man wanted to see them perform breakdance on the spot, surely it would be fraught with profound aning, and the directors present would dance without hesitation.
Of course, Lie Que True Lord’s tastes aren’t that bad, and he knows his words will bring great doubt to the directors, even giving rise to criticism in their hearts, but he does not care, nor is he truly suffering from senility.
If one were to ask why, it’s because of the information provided by Floating Yang True Person.
An Jing, when he was registering for residency at the Sky Surveillance Bureau a while ago, t Floating Yang True Person, who had co to deal with so affairs.
Afterwards, Floating Yang True Person left Xuanye City on other business and only recently returned.
In reporting to Lie Que True Lord, he ntioned An Jing in passing—a Purple Mansion Treasure, unable to turn the world upside down, but still an elent worthy of attention.
This should not have been a major event, but for so reason, Lie Que True Lord took great interest in it.
—First, a Loose Cultivator or so strange entity from the Wilderness was transcending tribulation outside, and then, afterwards at Sky Surveillance Bureau, a wilderness youngster carrying a Purple Mansion Treasure arrives?
This connection has no logic, no order, and shouldn’t raise any associations, but it was for this reason that Lie Que True Lord took interest in ‘An Xuan,’ wanting to find out what was the deal with this young man from the Wilderness carrying a Purple Mansion Treasure.
At their level, they do not need to adhere to logic or evidence; validating one’s whim is more important than fact.
Upon arriving at the scene, with a slight sensing, Lie Que True Lord could detect that indeed, there was a breath of Purple Mansion within An Jing.
Although not as Floating Yang said, “at the peak of the Purple Mansion,” it was indeed a genuine Purple Mansion Treasure, with an aura that was quite lively, likely freshly forged, and with the aning of a sword.
“Floating Yang (Floating Yang True Person’s na) shouldn’t be deceiving .”
Lie Que True Lord pondered in his heart: “Could it be then, the forces behind this lad originally used a powerful old Artifact to protect him, and after deciding to co to Xuanye City, they refined a new set of Purple Mansion Treasure for him?”
“A Sword Intent genius with a Sword Intent Magical Treasure…
This family business is significant, and behind it…
could it be a Golden Core Sword Cultivator?”
Bearing this thought in mind while considering all the decisions and judgnts ‘An Xuan’ made later, everything becos quite logical.
Having the guidance of a Golden Core True Monarch, it’s normal for An Xuan’s cultivation and skills to be impressive.
One must know that not all descendants in the Cave Heaven are True Monarchs, and there are not many direct descendants who can be personally taught by True Monarchs.
The master-disciple lineage is a tight fit, with each turnip having its own hole; desiring to teach more is also not so easy due to limited resources.
And how could the solutions of a genius highly valued by True Monarchs, even with a Purple Mansion Treasure by his side, be the sa as others?
The perspective from a high position is absolutely different from others, and as a Golden Core True Monarch, Lie Que True Lord can already freely do so things.
From his angle, all the answers given by An Jing are reasonable and even constructive.
Demand absolute command?
Of course.
It’s only natural.
How could a disciple of a True Monarch not have absolute command?
Even the supply logistics could incur only two parts loss out of ten, and with the support of private forces behind, it could even achieve an actual twelve parts for ten on paper!
With such a caliber of logistics, what kind of pioneering war can’t be fought well?
And the subsequent Great Void Formation, self-destructing Magic Artifacts, are also very simple.
The forr indicates that An Xuan often cos in contact with the Great Void Formation, which could also explain the elusive movents of An Xuan when he first appeared in Xuanye City.
The latter suggests that An Jing is also very familiar with the Five Elents Fusion Art of Magic and Formation, which are extrely confidential and high-level technologies even within the major forces – they are strategic technologies, not those handled by ordinary technicians!
Not to ntion, as a disciple of a Golden Core True Monarch, he can certainly use the power of his sect to solve the most difficult problems with the fastest speed, least loss, and simplest thods.
For those ‘below’, it might an missing out on many money-making opportunities, unable to balance the needs of various interests, various small groups might lose their cohesion as a result.
But, if viewed from the perspective of the [Human Clan overall] and [the grand trend of the Luofu Group], if it is to achieve [strategic-level goals], what is needed is An Xuan’s straightforward and direct thinking that goes straight to the essence.
Strategy can be broken down into tactics, and tactical execution may involve reluctant compromises; that’s an unavoidable reality, as no person can be perfect.
But the strategic mindset itself cannot be chaotic, compromised, or shifted.
If those below want benefits, and those above can give them out, then there’s no need for people below to fend for themselves.
Thus, the goals of those above are achieved, the lives of those below are maintained, and everyone is happy.
If considered from this angle, what appears to be naiveté in An Xuan’s behavior is not naiveté at all, but ‘efficiency’ in effectively utilizing one’s resources to solve problems with the fastest and simplest thods!
——Interesting, a Sword Dao Golden Core True Monarch intends to move toward Xuanye City?
It could be a great rit or a great trouble…
Lie Que True Lord narrowed his eyes, then revealed a hearty smile.
——Ha, lucky I’m about to retire, otherwise, there’d be no good drama to watch!
“I rember, I saw this kid at the Special City competition as well.”
In the end, Lie Que True Lord, full of amusent, comnted: “Your Third Middle School is impressive, aside from a Water Spirit Sword Immortal talent like Nian Quan, you’ve also managed to attract a Golden Spirit Sword Immortal who is also adept at Formation and Artifact Refining.
It seems that following Xiang Shang and Feng Ye, your Third Middle School still has further potential.”
Xiang Shang and Feng Ye were forr Principals of Jingwei Academy who had led the school to its pinnacle.
Although there was no stage set, at the utterance of these words by Lie Que True Lord, all the directors present trembled, turning their heads in disbelief toward the Water Mirror at the back and Principal He beside them.
Even Chairman Chen widened his eyes in disbelief — but he was quick to respond: “Then we shall take the True Lord’s auspicious words to heart, and we will strive even harder to cultivate a new generation for Xuanye City to our utmost!”
“Work hard.” Lie Que True Lord waved his hand dismissively and then vanished.
After his departure, the entire eting hall fell into silence.
“Cough.”
Ultimately, it was Chairman Chen, who had the authority to speak, who decided: “Though there may be slight imperfections, An Xuan has indeed showcased an unbridled imagination and an in-depth strategic analysis.
I believe his joining will greatly benefit our Third Middle School…
Yongzhi, what do you think?”
Principal He said earnestly: “I accept the True Lord’s advice and comply with all arrangents of the board of directors.”
Principal He’s attitude was spot on; at this point, even if other directors had their own little ideas, they couldn’t voice anything else.
With the True Lord himself present and showing interest in An Xuan, if he asked about An Xuan at the next competition and they had to respond, ‘Your vision is poor, we didn’t let the kid co!’ – would that be acceptable?
With the backing of a True Lord, of course, they would clap their hands in support!
Because the leadership unanimously agreed, the matter was settled.
