Chapter 1541: Chapter 112: Hearing Thunder in the Silence [Two-in-One]

Feng Yun said this, looked at the Starlight Leader, and said: "That is how it is."

The Starlight Leader knew it was his turn to speak, pondered, and said: "Indeed so."

Feng Yun was very satisfied with this just-right degree of contemplation from the Starlight Leader. He sighed a little and said: "What our Wei Wo Zheng Sect currently lacks is precisely someone like the Dongfang Strategist. The Sect Leader indeed shakes the Xing He with his Martial Arts, pressing down the heroes of the world so they cannot raise their heads. But you must understand, the Sect Leader’s achievements may not be unmatched forever; in the future, there may be others who reach them. Yet this way of suppressing the world that the Dongfang Strategist employs—no one else can do it as he does. Therefore, the Wei Wo Zheng Sect needs someone like the Dongfang Strategist to appear. If in the future such a person can emerge..."

Feng Yun gently let out a breath and said: "If it is possible in the future, the social structure and Shi Family management of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect must also be made to resemble the Guardians’ side as it is now."

The Starlight Leader tactfully did not speak.

From this sentence, he heard many things—along with Feng Yun’s hints and the powerful confidence of his ambition.

But right now he could only remain silent.

And Feng Yun clearly very much liked his present silence.

"The limitation of Martial Arts gives people a goal, the road ahead endless, thereby restraining the ambition for power. Extremely good!"

"Although among those of Martial Arts there are some who develop ambitions for power, the vast majority do not. It is precisely because once a Martial Artist enters that kind of exhilaration and sense of achievement in elevating cultivation, he looks down on other forms of power, disdaining them."

"This point, you understand."

Feng Yun smiled faintly.

The Starlight Leader said: "Yes, this point I have thought about as well, but not as thoroughly as Young Master Yun."

Feng Yun asked with interest: "How do you see it?"

The Starlight Leader took a deep breath.

This was an exam question.

From the moment they met, Feng Yun had displayed his breadth of mind; on the surface, it sounded as though he expressed understanding and sympathy for his choice, seemingly with no intent to force him.

Yet in truth, all the conversation was both display and pressure.

It was to make him realize the difference between Feng Yun and Feng Xing.

In essence, it was laying out arrangements for the future.

And every question Feng Yun posed to him would influence Feng Yun’s internal arrangements and planning for him in time to come.

Whether he would be valued or not—this was extremely important.

Right now he had already successfully planted a seed in both Feng Yun’s and Feng Xing’s hearts.

But if he had no real abilities, then that seed would never sprout; even if it sprouted, it would not grow strong.

This conversation was almost the most exhausting one he had had in a very long time.

"To hear thunder in a place of silence"—that was the Starlight Leader’s true feeling about this talk.

If he were to describe the conversation between himself and Feng Yun, it would be: "The wind rises from the edge of the green duckweed; the waves form between the slightest ripples."

"At the start I only sensed it as a problem of the civil and the martial paths."

The Starlight Leader spoke very respectfully: "To study the civil arts can broaden one’s horizon, can grant a mind that contains hills and valleys, to shepherd and guard a region, to bring benefit to one Fang; that can be done... cough, or you might say, when it comes to contention, one has the measure in one’s heart."

"Whereas the Martial Arts require talent... Those who lack Martial Arts Talent, even if the family background is somewhat poor, can still study the civil arts... so the quality among them is inevitably mixed, and that is already set."

"Martial Artists are not without those winding, scheming thoughts; in fact, anyone capable of learning Martial Arts is even more capable of learning the civil arts. It is merely that within the transcendent social group of Martial Arts... they have made their own choice, that is all."

"I am not saying all Martial Artists are good people, but according to observation, the scum among the scholars is indeed more numerous than within the Martial Artist group."

The Starlight Leader skirted the edge and avoided the core of Feng Yun’s question, speaking only from the margins; yet this was enough to let Feng Yun feel that in truth he had understood everything, only that because of his status he could not, like Feng Yun, stand at a lofty vantage to make concrete judgments.

This was a sense of proportion.

Strategic analysis must always be left to the higher-ups and superiors.

Feng Yun smiled faintly, looked at the Starlight Leader, and said: "What you said is not wrong; this is where the Dongfang Strategist was far-sighted."

The Starlight Leader fell silent again.

Feng Yun said softly: "In the way you work now, you are still a bit too cautious; you can loosen up your hands and feet a little more."

"Young Master Yun’s meaning is?" the Starlight Leader asked.

"In your view, this Worldwide Escort Agency you run here—do the Guardian high-levels know of it, or not?"

Feng Yun asked with deep implication.
