Mythical Three Kingdoms

More importantly, from the perspective of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei’s first impression of Ji Xiang was that she could shake the very foundations of the nation, making her a high-risk individual.

"So what do you all think should be done?" After hearing everything, Liu Bei furrowed his brows but didn’t directly voice his feelings, because from Li Youu’s words, he could clearly understand both Li Youu’s meaning and that of Chen Xi and Lub Su.

"Zichuan, if you want to protect her, give a reason that can convince Wen Ru." Seeing no one speaking, Liu Bei made a quick decision. While Li Youu was left speechless by Ji Xiang, Li Youu would still kill her if necessary, though now he’d need to consider whether killing her would put an end to future troubles.

Liu Bei didn’t ask Lub Su, for Lub Su would protect Ji Xiang under almost any circumstance. In ancient times, continuity of descent was greatly valued, so Lub Su would definitely protect Ji Xiang.

As for Mann Chong, Ji Xiang’s actions are not illegal at the moment. If Mann Chong were to speak, he’d likely side with Li Youu. In legal matters, Mann Chong’s personal discontent would never shake his resolve to uphold the law.

In one sentence, Liu Bei basically clarified his stance: he wanted to kill Ji Xiang because she was dangerous. The reason for letting Chen Xi speak was not to create unnecessary conflict over this issue.

"Let Ji Xiang speak for herself. She probably already has a prepared reason, and she might have guessed this outcome as well," Chen Xi said after a moment of silence.

Ji Xiang showed no obvious expression of fear, just glanced at Li Youu, "Minister Li, you probably never thought about how I got the forbidden book. With Cai Zhaoji’s management style there, if I didn’t have the qualification or hadn’t passed, even if I got the book, I couldn’t have left with it."

Li Youu furrowed his brows and nodded after a while. This was true; right outside Cai Yan’s home is the city management team. If Ji Xiang couldn’t pass the review, she wouldn’t have gotten that book.

"But those few books, from what I’ve seen, should primarily be used to prevent and counteract such methods, yet I unexpectedly deduced other parts, even completed them further. When I asked for five thousand materials in Chang’an, you already guessed what I was going to do, didn’t you, Marquis Chen?" Ji Xiang turned to Chen Xi and asked.

Chen Xi nodded. To prevent and counteract such means, one must first understand the method of attack. When Ji Xiang asked for five thousand experimental materials, Chen Xi had already guessed her progress, just shy of the final step of experimental verification.

Li Youu and others looked gravely at Chen Xi, who shook his head and signaled for them to continue listening.

"That’s why when I was about to start my own school, you said what you said. I suppose if my response was inadequate, you would have immediately taken action. In fact, among the people attending lectures and managing them, weren’t there one or two people you placed there, Marquis Chen, to prevent me from disseminating information?" Ji Xiang turned to look at Chen Xi with a hint of sarcasm.

Ji Xiang then calmed her expression, "Saying this was surveillance isn’t accurate. Perhaps part of it was to prevent Minister Li from taking impulsive action without understanding the situation, and likely also to assess my qualifications."

"Yes, I placed eleven people," Chen Xi said calmly, "I thought you could find them all. It seems you haven’t fully mastered it."

Upon hearing this, Li Youu’s brows tightened, and others looked at Chen Xi with surprise. Obviously, Chen Xi knew more than they did, but he only supervised and didn’t take action. If Ji Xiang hadn’t revealed the situation herself, nobody would know about this.

"It’s not that I haven’t mastered it; I simply didn’t pay attention to the people you arranged. I only focused on the students," Ji Xiang turned her gaze back to Li Youu, "Before you arrest me, you should ask Marquis Chen why he only supervised and didn’t prohibit."

However, before Li Youu could speak, Chen Xi waved his hand, saying, "That book was written by me, and it’s the only unfinished forbidden book in there. The reason is simple; because midway through writing, I realized..."

"There are countermeasures, right?" Ji Xiang said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia turned and left. The moment Chen Xi spoke, Guo Jia realized what Chen Xi’s countermeasures were.

"It’s still too dangerous." Li Youu said after a pause, also realizing what the countermeasures were. "You are one person, while she represents a discipline."

"Li Wenru, it seems you’re still somewhat behind compared to him," Ji Xiang said coldly. "Although Chen Zichuan didn’t finish the book, I’m afraid he hoped it would eventually be completed. A complete product that has been controlled from the start, with countermeasures prepared even before the book was finished..."

Although Ji Xiang didn’t finish her sentence, Li Youu understood.

When the ultimate means were being written by predecessors, a master of psychology capable of creating countermeasures had no choice but to cooperate when the countermeasures were firmly in others’ hands, which was likely Chen Xi’s purpose.

"Though not entirely accurate, you are not far off," Chen Xi said slowly after a long pause.

"I can counteract it. To be precise, besides myself, there are two other people in the world who can easily counteract it, but we are unique individuals, whereas your discipline is one that will inevitably emerge and one destined to flourish out of wrongdoing," Chen Xi said with some guilt.

From the start, Chen Xi’s intention was to counteract psychology. After all, in later generations, psychology was rarely used for righteous purposes. Many writings on psychology read like fraud studies. So the purpose of writing this was for counteraction.

However, midway through writing, Chen Xi realized that he already possessed the ability to counteract. His spiritual talent could connect with and arouse the will of soldiers and the people, which itself was a pseudo legion talent created by his spiritual capacity.

Thus, Chen Xi changed the name of the book, giving it to Cai Yan as a forbidden book, waiting for someone to touch it. And as the guardian of forbidden books, Cai Yan, just as Zhou Yu could easily connect the emotions and will of soldiers with the zither’s sound, Cai Yan could do the same, so she was the custodian.

It was only after Ji Xiang got her hands on this book that she truly caught Chen Xi’s attention. Before that, although Ji Xiang was among the top three in the medical field, Chen Xi was not particularly concerned about her. It was only after Ji Xiang obtained the book that Chen Xi started to truly notice her. Before this, Chen Xi and Ji Xiang were merely acquaintances.

How to counteract psychology, how to counteract brainwashing, how to counteract illegal multi-level marketing? If Chen Xi were to write a book, it might be effective, but the extent of its effectiveness would remain uncertain.

Since this is a discipline, the most effective countermeasures would have been highlighted at the emergence of the discipline itself, the so-called discipline against discipline.

Psychology as a discipline can be entirely negated if another complete discipline counteracting psychology is established.

This was the main reason Chen Xi nurtured Ji Xiang. Ji Xiang, who reached the peak in the second century and embraced modern psychology, surpassing her time from the start, in full cooperation could help establish another discipline.

This was Chen Xi’s goal. Since the birth of psychology was unavoidable, he might as well let it take root and sprout in his hands.

At least in his generation, with him around, any parts of psychology related to brainwashing can be resolved. During his lifetime, if a psychology master standing at the peak cooperates, and it still fails to leave behind a discipline counteracting psychology, then it would be considered a failure.

"At first, I didn’t understand, but later I understood. Apart from my talent, the reason I was chosen was because I lack a sense of good and evil, lacking normal human concepts, so I wouldn’t feel any pressure doing such things, right?" Ji Xiang tilted her head and looked at Chen Xi, who was somewhat at a loss.

"Unfortunately, after spending three years here, I’m no longer the Xuanyuan High Priestess who was indifferent to good and evil, walking the natural path," Ji Xiang said with a cold smile as she looked at Chen Xi before turning to leave.
