Chapter 567: Chapter 515 Why Force It
Upon hearing Bai Xiaosheng’s words, Pei Xuanjing’s calm gaze was as still as an ancient well. He had taken his own desired actions, yet others saw this as leniency – a notion which he found quite commonplace.
The world indeed followed such rules, and despite the grand aspirations of many predecessors, the divide of classes was ultimately ingrained and hard to break, even for someone like Pei Xuanjing.
Before he could respond, he heard Bai Xiaosheng continue, “Why did you choose to establish the Taoist Academy on your own, Brother Pei? Could it be because you didn’t want to suppress others with your power? Otherwise, with your status and influence, if you had decided to enforce this within the Taoist School, who could have stopped you? Yet, you chose to give up this path.”
Indeed, with Pei Xuanjing’s strength and influence, who in the Taoist School could have stopped him from collectively enforcing the establishment of the Taoist Academy?
No one! Neither Daoist Qingxu, nor the Old Heavenly Master, Daoist Chunyang, Daoist Xuanming, or even oneself, could directly refuse Pei Xuanjing. He could have easily pulled along the entire Taoist School with him.
But Pei Xuanjing gave up that approach, undeniably demonstrating his integrity. This was why Bai Xiaosheng was willing to sincerely cooperate with him. Pei Xuanjing was without a doubt, a reliable ally.
“We came together for a common goal. Now that the original objective is achieved and we are unable to reach consensus on new goals, why should I force the issue?” Pei Xuanjing responded lightly to Bai Xiaosheng’s question.
His perspective on matters was open; the original purpose of union among Taoist practitioners was to break the Heaven and Earth seal, promote the ascension of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, and then obtain the Divine Position and the Qi Luck.
Now that all objectives were accomplished, their alliance’s initial purpose was complete.
