All Hail Cousin Brother

383 Asuras Are Evil

Mr. Xian Yun did not look at the chessboard. Instead, he looked at him deeply. “Back then, Old Madam did not finish her words. You were born with evil spirits. You were born a jinx and would not have a good family. You would not die a good death. It was this jinx that ruined your momentum, forming a fate where a dragon was trapped in a shallow pool and was treated as a shrimp. It was a true dragon who was damaged and destined to die.”

Zhou Linghuai raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Mr. Xian Yun continued, “The Asura contains fire. This fire is called anger, and its anger will defeat all the world. The Asura has hands that can hold the sun and moon. Its hands can cover the light of the sun and moon and reverse Yin and Yang. The Asura has feet that stand on the sea and suppress the four seas, causing them to return to their hearts. The Asura has a body that can cross Mount Sumeru. It’s huge and determines the universe.”

Zhou Linghuai supported his forehead with one hand and saw the little girl slowly walking over with a food box. When she passed by the wall, she stepped forward happily with a smile and picked out the brightest rose, folding it in her hand.

The little girl always despised the Green House for being a little cold. She liked to pick beautiful flowers and put bottles in his house.

Mr. Xian Yun also noticed his abnormality, but he did not care. He changed the topic. “However, Asuras are evil. They don’t believe in justice and have a heart of resentment. They are determined to fight. They are blessed but not virtuous. In the end, they are not truly kind.”

“Sir, your words are incorrect.” As soon as Mr. Xian Yun finished speaking, a crisp voice entered his ears. A beautiful girl came over slowly with a beautiful rose. “In the Buddhist Sect, there is the saying of the ‘Resentment of Three Lifetimes’. Asuras cultivate good fortune in the first life, enjoy good fortune in the second life, and eliminate evil in the third life. From this, it can be seen that Asuras also cultivate five admonitions and ten good deeds. They support the principles of reincarnation.” At this point, she smiled slightly. “In the next life of Buddhism, according to you, Asuras are evil only because of their previous lives. The so-called evil is because of their previous lives and manifests in their present lives. The so-called good and evil are just the cause of the heavens.”

She had never felt that her cousin was evil.

Even though she knew that her cousin might be just as Mr. Xian Yun had said. His fire would burn the world to death. His hands would cover the sun and moon, his feet would stir the four seas, and his body would cover the mountains and rivers of the nine prefectures.

Mr. Xian Yun was famous and respected by the world. Other than meeting Yin Huaixi back then and making him lose face, wherever he went in his life, he was respected.

He did not expect to be refuted by a young lady today.

He stroked his long beard and suddenly laughed. “Haha, interesting.”

It wasn’t her words that were interesting, but her.

Yu Youyao knelt on the soft cushion and replaced the orchids in the green vase with roses. The bright red roses were inserted into the vase.

Zhou Linghuai suddenly took out the rose and sniffed it.

Mr. Xian Yun was suddenly stunned. Then, he thought of a sentence: In me the tiger sniffs the rose!

He couldn’t help but turn to look at this beautiful and bright eldest daughter of the Yu family.

She picked up a plate of Eight Treasure Cake from the food box and placed it on the small table. She tilted her head to look at her cousin. “The Eight Treasure Cake was just made using white ginseng. Cousin, it’s fine to eat more.” With that, she picked up the teapot and poured tea for her cousin. When the tea was 80% full, she stopped. “I won’t disturb you from chatting. If there’s anything, send Chang An to inform me.”

A smile appeared on Zhou Linghuai’s lips. “Okay.”

Mr. Xian Yun was speechless.

He was clearly a guest, but this little girl had only poured a cup of tea. It was too rude.

Zhou Linghuai only retracted his gaze after Yu Youyao had walked far away.

Mr. Xian Yun held the teapot himself and poured himself a cup of tea. “This cousin of yours is quite interesting. I didn’t say anything, but she bears a grudge.” At this point, he took a piece of Eight Treasure Cake and looked at the person in front of him. He glanced at her indifferently and didn’t care at all. He tasted the Eight Treasure Cake and said meaningfully, “Things that are made with effort always taste especially good.”

Zhou Linghuai said calmly, “I want 300,000 troops from Youzhou.”

He could easily obtain this army, but Mr. Xian Yun was an indispensable part of it.

As Mr. Xian Yun tasted the Eight Treasure Cake, he said, “It’s very difficult for you to control Youzhou legitimately.”

Seeing that he had taken another piece of Eight Treasures Cake, Zhou Linghuai brought the plate to him. “It’s very difficult for others, but it’s very simple for you.”

Mr. Xian Yun did not understand what he meant. Although the emperor treated him politely, he did not have the ability to make the emperor hand over the 300,000 troops of Youzhou to Yin Huaixi.

Zhou Linghuai said calmly, “When the time is right, I’ll invite myself to guard Youzhou. At that time, the emperor will summon you to the palace and ask for your opinion. You only need to know how to answer in the best interests of me.”

Mr. Xian Yun was shocked. “I’ve always ignored court affairs. This concerns the country. Why would the emperor ask me? Did you scheme again?”

Zhou Linghuai did not deny it. “You have no room to refuse. The Marquis of Changxing is a monstrous criminal, and there are no survivors in the ten races. Then, who in Youzhou can guard it? Who can guard it and who dares to guard it? Isn’t this also why you specially came to look for me? You care about the country and the world. You’re willing to play chess for me. Didn’t you want to use this as a condition to protect the stability of Youzhou?”

Mr. Xian Yun was silent for a long time. After a while, he said, “I know that you’re the only person in Youzhou who can guard it. Alright, I promise you.”

Zhou Linghuai nodded. “Mr. Xian Yun is indeed sensible.”

Mr. Xian Yun was silent for a long time before saying, “What I said just now was that your physiognomy three years ago was originally blessed but without virtue. There’s a saying that virtue is not worthy of status. As the saying goes, if you’re blessed but without virtue, in the end, you won’t be able to stop killing and will forever fall to Asura.” At this point, he changed the topic. “Do you know how your physiognomy is now?”

Zhou Linghuai was not interested and ate the Eight Treasure Cake.

However, Mr. Xian Yun was interested. “Today, from your physiognomy, the rhinoceros on your forehead has already formed. Although it’s still murderous, it’s filled with purple qi. It’s merit.”

Blessings and virtue were indispensable.

Those who were blessed but without virtue would eventually fall to Asura. They were definitely not good people.

As for those who were virtuous and unlucky, just like King You, they did not have a good ending.

On the other hand, those who were blessed with good fortune could often enjoy great wealth and fate. If this person happened to have the fate of a true dragon, he would live forever and the emperor star would descend.

However, he did not say this in the end.

Mr. Xian Yun looked at the rose that had been placed back into the bottle. It was beautiful. Such a delicate flower needed pure soil to grow. Otherwise, its beauty could not be obtained.

Yin Huaixi should have understood this since he had the flower in his hand.

He made a decision.

Otherwise, now that Ye Hanyuan had entered the capital, he would not be shouting that he had been wronged. Instead, he would be shouting that he had the Yuchang sword in his hand. He would be like a thorn that stabbed the Qin Empire, causing flames of war to rise everywhere in the world. The flames of war would reach the sky, and the country would perish. The world would suffer.

Otherwise, why would he say that Yin Huaixi had killed countless people in his life and was an Asura?
