Chapter 1119: Arranging All Matters (IV)
Li Xuanxuan glanced at the Daoist Master silently sipping his tea beside him and asked, "Ming'er, where do you think the Zhouxing generation falls short?"
The Daoist Master in embroidered white robes drew back the heavenly light between his brows, took a sip of tea, and said, "Too kind... and thus vulnerable to deception."
Li Xuanxuan praised, "Indeed."
Li Ximing said quietly, "Father told me since I was a child that Moongaze Lake is a treacherous land. One who governs a family must be most skilled in mischief, cunning, and deception in order to subdue such people and thus bring stability to the common folk. Zhouluo and Xinghan are not lacking in ability, but their noble birth has given them lives of ease. They are fine in cultivation and spell duels, but if they encounter people like Wenhu or Chen Yang, they will likely be deceived."
In truth, Li Ximing was putting it mildly. Li Zhouluo was not foolish, but if he faced someone like Wenhu, there was a high chance he would be manipulated with ease.
That was precisely what worried Li Xuanxuan, who said, "Who can say? People grow with age. Chenghui was once just a quiet and taciturn boy of the Chengming generation, and no one thought he would amount to much. Let us wait and see."
The matter of An Siwei had crossed his mind several times, yet Li Xuanxuan ultimately did not bring it up. He simply rose and said, "I have stayed on this peak for too long, so it is inevitable that I speak of family matters. Do not think me long-winded."
"Grandfather's guidance brings endless benefit to the family." Li Ximing escorted him down the mountain. At the foot, Li Jiangqian and Li Quewan were waiting nearby, while a broad-faced man stood behind them.
Li Ximing, not inclined to climb back up, sat down in the pavilion at the mountain's base and asked, "How is the matter of Mifan progressing?"
Li Jiangqian spoke respectfully, "The Wang Family has arrived. This is Wang Quwan. He is from a different branch than Wang He, yet he too is of the Jiangbei Wang Family's direct lineage."
