Translator: Rain Editor: Chrissy
“n all have ambitions. A man without ambition? Impossible. Don’t ntion those great saints to
now. Even those saints in the myth have ambitions.” Song Jue blandly spoke, “Sobody wants to be invincible. So wants to be immortal. So wants to be rich. So wants power. Even saints have ambitions. They want their nas to be written in the history, passing on their fas…
“The generals… The capable ones want to expand the territory for their kingdom and leave their nas in the annals of history. Regular ones want to get promoted, marry a pretty woman and father so sons. Soldiers just want to get the money and feed their families, or maybe luckily get on the league of generals in the future.
“Everybody is fighting for personal interest.”
Song Jue said, “I will say the sa. n in different positions have different perspectives. When a soldier becos a general, he will want much more than just feed his families. He will want to be promoted and get more money. He will want power to rule an army. However, when he becos a commander, a great general, he has a different goal to chase. He will want fa and to be rembered in the future.
“Sotis, you have to be in a certain position to make judgent on certain things! A beggar can’t even eat. If he talked about serving the kingdom and creating a better world for people… even if it has that possibility, people would tease him! What do you have to better this world when you can barely keep yourself breathing?
“Goals show different ambitions in different phases of a man. Life may be boring for regular people, but such life is a dream to beggars. The rich think nothing special about their wealthy life, but regular people long for it. Officials live in a high position in the society, and that is exactly what the rich guys and the scholars want. So influential officials in the court are living the dream of those who are eager for power… There are more like these!
“Ambition drives the world! It is the most valuable thing mankind has!
“When a man becos a small official in a place, he may get bribes. When he climbs up to a certain position, say he is only holding less power than the king himself… would he even bother thinking about making money? What he longs for changes…”
He sneered, “Now what? Will you think of
like you father does? He always said that my theories are extre.”
Ye Xiao laughed. “I will not! You have extre thoughts, but you are right. I believe my father wouldn’t say you are wrong about this.”
Song Jue laughed. He was happy. He casually swayed his sword and over a dozen soldiers of the Kingdom of Lan-Feng were knocked off the wall. He continued talking, “Martial artists like us have ambitions too. However, what we want, people in Land of Han-Yang wouldn’t understand. In fact, for the n in Human Realm Upon Heavens, what we want is just nothing.
“In their eyes, those who have reached the peak of Qing-Yun Realm, like Xue Danru, Xuan Bing and Xiao Monarch, no matter how marvelous they are in Qing-Yun Realm, they are weak. In their eyes, these figures were only a joke. Acting like they were conquerors with their lousy capability, that was arrogant overestimation for the n in Human Realm Upon Heavens.”
“Now think about it. Aren’t you just like those guys high in Human Realm Upon Heavens?” Song Jue said.
Ye Xiao was shocked. However, he didn’t seem so interested in the long speech. He said, “Xue Danru? Xuan Bing? Are they both won? Xiao Monarch? Who is that?”
Ye Xiao asked while knowing the answer.
Song Jue humphed. “Yes, won! So what? Can’t won be superior cultivators? Xue Danru and Xuan Bing, they both are the strongest figures in Qing-Yun Realm. Xiao Monarch… Hmm. His na is also Ye Xiao, the sa as you!”
Ye Xiao spoke in a low voice, “Xiao Monarch, Ye Xiao!”
Song Jue half closed his eyes. “That’s it. Xiao Monarch, Ye Xiao. Does it make you feel proud? Well. Compared to him, you are weaker than an ant! He could kill you by blowing! He can kill you with a fart!”
Ye Xiao was happy to hear it. “Really? Is he that good?”
Song Jue rolled up the eyes. He was a bit speechless now. “Of course Xiao Monarch is good! Not like you! Arrogant! Stupid! What’s in your mind!”
Ye Xiao’s face twitched and he said ‘fxck’. He couldn’t help it.
[Okay. Now what should I say?]
“Oh, there is another Ye Xiao in Qing-Yun Realm…” he murmured.
“Humph. Xiao Monarch ruled the world! He is smart, handso, brave, strong and generous. He is invincible! You are never going to be a match to him!”
Song Jue looked admiring. “That year, Xiao Monarch traveled alone with one sword in the Qing-Yun Realm. He killed the evil guys and helped the nice people. He was arbitrary and he murdered a lot of lives, but he never did anything vile. He just killed those he had to kill.
“Xiao Monarch, Ye Xiao. What a hero. He seed both righteous and evil. People praised him and also scolded him. Even his enemies never criticized his personality.”
Song Jue seed thrilled talking about Xiao Monarch. However, at the end, he sighed. “It is a pity. Such a heroic figure died without leaving a body!”
“Ah? He is dead? Pah. Xiao Monarch is dead? Wasn’t he such an invincible hero? How did he die?” Ye Xiao asked.
He knew exactly how he himself died. Song Jue shouldn’t know, nor should Ye Nantian. They both had been away from Qing-Yun Realm for so many years. Why would they know Ye Xiao’s death?
Song Jue held his breath and said, “People of Ye Clan in Qing-Yun Realm ca down and we had a conversation. They ntioned how Xiao Monarch fell into a trap and was hunted by those factions. He died. Such a heroic figure died in vile sches! What a sha!”
Ye Xiao asked, “Uncle Song, there was a famous man Ye Xiao, then why is my na Ye Xiao too? Does my father worship Xiao Monarch?”
Ye Xiao had this question in mind for a long ti. Ye Nantian was from the Qing-Yun Realm. He surely knew about Xiao Monarch, the world-shocking figure in the Qing-Yun Realm. Why would he na his own son Ye Xiao? That was strange indeed.
