# 263. Xu Xinnian: I'm Meeting a lot of Nutcases this Year

In a small courtyard, Daoist Jinlian put away the Earth Book fragment, frowning silently.

Each member of the Earth Book chat group was a person of great fortune. The loss of any one of them was something he did not wish to see.

*The conflict of Heaven and Man is a matter for the elders; there’s no need for the younger generation to fight to the death. But if no one intervenes, with Li Miaozhen’s stubbornness and Number Four's sharpness, I fear it will end with one dead and the other seriously injured.*

*Our Earth Sect cannot meddle in the Heaven and Human Sects' dispute. Number Six is not one for words, and Number One’s status makes it inconvenient for him to intervene… It seems I’ll have to push Xu Qi'an into the middle to smooth things over. Let him involve himself in the conflict of Heaven and Man, to lessen the hostility between Li Miaozhen and Number Four. This way, I can give the sect an explanation without needing them to fight to the death.*

*But his cultivation level is still too low. He’s not qualified to interfere in a fight between Li Miaozhen and Number Four unless he can quickly cultivate to Bronze Skin and Iron Bones.*

Cultivating Bronze Skin and Iron Bones in a short time was indeed a difficult task.

Daoist Jinlian furrowed his brows, pondering for a long time without coming up with a suitable plan, until he heard a sharp cat's meow from the courtyard.

… Shortly after, an orange cat left happily, tail held high.
