Chapter 2321 Changes in Mindset

Xu Yi said, "Elder Xi, no, Brother Xi, since I'm willing to come, I certainly don't come here just to talk. You don't have to pretend to be tough. Your current situation may not be better than your appearance. There are all the elites in the leadership. , but in the end, we still fell short. Of course, Huo Zhongxing is the team leader, and if something goes wrong, he should bear the main responsibility."

"But you must know that it was Huo Zhongxing and Bingyuan who shouldered the greatest burden when they besieged Gui Qi. Brother Xi, what was assigned to you was the lightest task. A powerful man with a divine fetus led a force that was far stronger than the opponent. The result was a disgrace. I don't know how the higher-ups will view this matter, Brother Xi."

"But if at this juncture, I hand over this wish-fulfilling bead, I believe someone above will immediately come to the conclusion: your brother Xi's mind is not on official business at all, but on private vendetta. I don't know what will happen if this matter happens. What kind of consequences, but I believe Brother Xi himself must be very aware of the consequences..."

Almost every time Xu Yi said something, Xi Mengfan's eyes darkened, his heart boiled, and he kept cursing.

He had known that Xu Yi was as cunning as a fox, but he didn't expect Xu Yi to look deep into his bones at a glance.

There was nothing bad about his current situation, it was simply too bad.

The siege was carried out hand-in-hand, resulting in a complete defeat. Not only was the elder Bing Yuan killed in the battle, but also the Spirit Spear Team, Plum Blossom Iron Guards and Secret Guards, and even the soy sauce staff officers suffered heavy losses.

Not counting these, the most important thing is that Gui Qi was not stopped, causing Gui Qi to send the news back, and the high-level inner ghost buried in the Holy See's Buddhist niche on the other side of the Pope was dug out.

Now, not only the leaders were furious, but also a big shot in the ancestral court had denounced the subordinates for their poor performance, saying that the capture of the Buddhist niche was equivalent to the loss of a hundred thousand troops.

As the leader of the team, Huo Zhongxing has been taken away by the men of the Department of Discipline Inspection. It is completely conceivable what he will encounter.

These days, Xi Mengfan is like an ant on a hot pot.

Of course he thought about pushing Xu Yi out, saying that the existence of this mole caused the originally perfect situation to have such a huge accident.

But the key point is that he has no clue that Xu Yi is the mole, and his personal enmity with Xu Yi is well known to everyone.

If the power of inspection on this matter is in Lingzhong, he can still operate it.

But this matter has alarmed Zu Ting, and even though he has great power, he cannot continue to operate.

Pushing Xu Yi out rashly will only get you into trouble.

What's more, if Xu Yi dares to come back, he is obviously not afraid of him doing this.

Suddenly, Xi Mengfan sighed deeply and waved his hand, and a tea set appeared on a table of the Eight Immortals, "You and I became rivals by mistake. The reason was that Xi Yangchun was greedy for money, blind, and did not know the true God. I I have already had a conversation with you, and it can be regarded as an explanation to him. How about Xi Mou using tea instead of wine, toasting to my brother, and letting the past clouds go?"

Xu Yicai's hand holding the tea cup suddenly froze. He really didn't expect Xi Mengfan to say these words. Suddenly, a chill surged in his heart. This old guy's ability to bend and stretch was remarkable.

He could probably imagine how much courage it took for Xi Mengfan to say these words.

"What? Brother Xu, if you feel you have suffered a loss or are dissatisfied with something, you can tell us and we can discuss it."

Elder Xi is like a master of face-changing, and the original face of the late wife has turned into a face like a spring breeze.

With this change, Elder Xi's mental journey was both simple and complicated.

The most critical change was that he completely recognized Xu Yi's face and promoted him from the ant he was before to a position where he could sit on an equal footing.

The reason why he stepped on Xu Yi was not because Xu Yi killed Xi Yangchun, but because he felt hurt for Xi Yangchun.

In fact, Xu Yi killed Xi Yangchun, and he felt ashamed. Since the ant didn't know what to do, he just trampled it to death.

But after a series of twists and turns, he discovered that what he was about to step on was not an ant at all, but a wild beast. Moreover, he was accidentally pinned under the claws of this wild beast.

Once he had corrected his position towards Xu Yi in his heart, his anger subsided. Although the so-called hatred could not be forgotten immediately, it was nothing compared to his own difficult situation.

Xu Yi said, "Elder Xi misunderstood..."

Xi Mengfan waved his hand, "We called him Brother Xi, why did we change him to Elder Xi? You and I have never known each other before. Brother Xu is a rare monastic genius. It is Xi who can make friends with Brother Xu when he has not shown up." What's the matter, Brother Xu, don't you want to recognize Xi as your friend?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly and said, "I will follow Brother Xi's words."

After saying that, the two of them exchanged tea for wine, had a glass of wine, and each drank it up.

Elder Xi wanted to make peace, so Xu Yi didn't want to make peace.

Xu Yi has a good character and is determined to retaliate, but he is also the ultimate egoist.

At present, of course he has the means to make Xi Mengfan miserable, but it is difficult to kill him with one blow.

At the same time, his current situation was not good. He wanted to continue climbing up, but he lacked a springboard.

If Xi Mengfan is willing to make peace, he will naturally be willing to step on Xi Mengfan's springboard and climb up.

He knows that in this hierarchical world, the higher the status, the more resources.

Elder Xi gave Xu Yi another cup of tea and said, "I wonder if Brother Xu can help me get through the crisis at hand. Brother Xu, don't worry. Xi is not someone looking for trouble. As long as Brother Xu helps me get through this crisis, Xi will be rewarded generously."

Xi Mengfan is a realist, and his attitude changes very quickly. In addition to placing Xu Yi on an equal footing, he also believes that Xu Yi can help him get out of this crisis.

Just because Xu Yi also has another identity, the Night Walker.

Xu Yi said, "I wonder what Brother Xi thinks of Night Walker."

Finally, Xu Yi got involved in the drama.

Xi Mengfan took a deep breath and said, "Like you and me, we are all monks and have to eat and sleep. Anyway, since we are separated from Brother Xu, I have nothing to hide. The Pope and the Zuting have been fighting for countless years, what? The justice of heaven is just to fool fools, and the fight is nothing more than resources. To put it bluntly, both families are poor people struggling to survive in the world. If it weren't for me wearing this official skin, the Night Walker would come from in front of me. As I walked by, I didn’t bother to take another look.”

Xu Yi nodded, believing Xi Mengfan's words.

Xu Yi was very clear about the mentality of ordinary officials in Zuting. They actually had no faith. If they had faith, it was the wishing beads. No one really cared about the rest.

In the eyes of Xi Mengfan and others, such things as destroying the pope and punishing thieves to uphold the law of heaven are just slogans.

That's why Xu Yi dared to set foot on Mount Duoluo knowing that his identity was leaked.

"What Brother Xi said is exactly what I think. If I couldn't help myself, I wouldn't want to wear this identity..."

Xu Yi just stood up and saw Xi Mengfan staring at him in surprise.
