Chapter 1735 - 47: Yan Nan’s Wager [2-in-1]_3

Chapter 1735: Chapter 47: Yan Nan’s Wager [2-in-1]_3

Yan Nan’s face darkened again.

Yan Nan could not afford to lose face like this.

"Is it over? If it’s over, all of you get lost!"

Yan Nan waved his hand, ignoring everyone else, and with a swish, expanded his domain and took Yan Beihan away.

Bi Yunyan and the others: "???"

But losing and regaining a flower is essentially no loss.

They felt relieved.

Bi Yunyan cautiously said to Bi Changhong: "Ancestor, let me treat your injury for you..."

Bi Changhong rolled his eyes, ready to scold, but on second thought, this was the most beloved junior, and what they did earlier made him appreciate them more, so he said kindly: "Alright, Yunyan is sensible, unlike some pitiful people... who don’t even have anyone around them, hehe..."

Bai Jing’s face turned dark, and he disappeared.

Duan Xiyang and Kuangren Halberd couldn’t stand Bi Changhong being comfortable, so they rolled their eyes and left too.

Feng Xue and Chen Xue breathed a sigh of relief and finally sat down, feeling their hearts pounding.

In Yan Nan’s domain.

"Little Han... how did you get this Qiongxiao Flower?" Yan Nan asked, "Although your cultivation isn’t bad, it’s not like you could defeat the Purple Lightning Bird to get the Qiongxiao Flower, right?"

Yan Beihan coughed: "Grandpa, you mean..."

"Tell Grandpa about it, maybe grandpa can think of a way to get you another one." Yan Nan said, "Speaking of which, it’s only right to make it up to you."

Yan Beihan laughed: "Grandpa truly has eyes like a torch; I couldn’t get it on my own, but I met some help inside."

"Who?"

"Yemo." Yan Beihan smiled, "When I saw the Purple Lightning Bird, I happened to see Yemo plotting; so we cooperated, and Yemo went invisible to... "

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Nan narrowed his eyes: "Yemo can go invisible? How does he go invisible?"

"His body turns into a mist-like state and disappears, Grandpa, you can do it too."

Yan Beihan pouted: "But I can’t do it yet."

Yan Nan said, "Our cultivation technique isn’t suitable for you. It’s best if you focus on your Aunt Bing, didn’t you already give her the Qiongxiao Flower? With your cleverness, you wouldn’t have given it without asking for something, right?"

"I did." Yan Beihan laughed, "She promised to help me three times during the Outer World Mountain Sect action."

"Then you’ll have time." Yan Nan smiled, "As expected, you little rascal."

Yan Beihan chuckled and helped massage Yan Nan’s shoulders, saying: "Is there anything else Grandpa wants to instruct me on?"

Yan Nan closed his eyes and said: "When Ji Changyan wakes up, you need to soothe him."

"I understand."

Yan Beihan said: "Grandpa Bi’s temper was indeed a bit excessive. He doesn’t take the bigger picture into account."

Yan Nan said: "That’s a matter of position. It’s not his problem."

"Position issue?"

"Yes, if your Grandpa Bi were in my position, then even if he had ten kinds of tempers, he’d have to suppress them! He must consider the entire sect! This is inevitable."

Yan Nan said leisurely: "Although he may not do as well as I do, he can still consider things comprehensively. In other words, if grandpa were in your Grandpa Bi’s position, I would also act recklessly and freely... So, the position issue is here."

Yan Beihan appeared contemplative, frowning in thought.

After a while, he said: "But even if Grandpa were in that position, you wouldn’t be so reckless."

Yan Nan said with satisfaction: "That’s why I’m in charge of the sect’s affairs, and not your Grandpa Bi. Your eldest uncle’s insight into people is right here."

Yan Beihan nodded.

Yan Nan said: "So, regarding your Grandpa Bi’s reprimanding of Ji Changyan, you need to see where your own direction is and understand how to handle things. If you want to control the entire situation, the first thing you must do is... regardless of your current position, you must consider every issue from a global perspective."

"Then you’ll discover one thing... managing your team from a narrow perspective and managing your team from a broad perspective are essentially... the same management style."

"However, the effect is vastly different!... Do you understand?"

Yan Nan asked.

Yan Beihan genuinely did not understand this time: "Grandpa, how is that possible?"

Yan Nan smiled wryly, knowing that his granddaughter couldn’t understand this yet, so he broke it down and explained slowly: "I’ll give you an example. I’m the Vice Sect Master, and I have a trusted team under me. So, whether on the Vice Sect Master’s position or as their separate leader, I must strive to gain more benefits for my trusted team, let them eat more, occupy more, and try to enhance their strength as much as possible."

"Does this make sense to you now?"

"But I’m just a simple small squad leader, and when I take more, it’s merely taking more! I won’t consider other factors. However, as Vice Sect Master, if I want my team to take more, I must first balance various forces, and only then can I achieve taking more without any backlash... Do you understand?"

"So, for one’s faction, regardless of the leader’s height, the mission of the team is singular: to be strong, increasingly strong!"

"This is not using power for personal gain, you need to understand."

Yan Nan said profoundly: "Throughout the ages, the power of the royal family must always be the strongest. Once the royalty isn’t the strongest, it leads to dynastic change! Do you understand?"

"The same applies to Wei Wo Zheng Sect."

"You must learn to view issues with a broader perspective. For example, not only the overall situation of Wei Wo Zheng Sect, but even... the entire Continent’s situation! Then you will recognize that even giving your subordinate a single Spirit Pill holds an irreplaceable function!"

Yan Nan said: "This is the true controller of the situation."

"He who does not plan for eternity cannot plan for the hour; he who does not plan for the entirety cannot plan for a corner!"

Yan Nan let out a light sigh: "Even someone with little knowledge would, almost instinctively, understand; but I did not anticipate that my granddaughter, Yan Beihan, who is reputed among the younger generation as world-wise and brilliant, would need examples broken down to comprehend fully."

Yan Beihan trembled all over and said: "Grandpa’s teachings are etched in my heart."

"Do you understand anything?"

"Including Grandpa’s final sigh, I also understand."

Yan Beihan said respectfully: "Words are just words; principles are just principles; recognizing characters doesn’t mean understanding the way, and understanding truths doesn’t mean grasping them thoroughly."

Yan Nan laughed heartily: "Indeed, indeed. Merely knowing this character or remembering this saying, what difficulty is there? But if ignorant of its application, even if one is learned across ancient and modern times, they are but illiterate fools!"

Yan Beihan laughed: "Grandpa sets such high standards, if according to your criteria, how many under the heavens wouldn’t be illiterate fools?"

"This, you shouldn’t phrase as a question."

Yan Nan said blandly: "It should be affirmative!"

...

Outside the plains on the mountain, Yan Beihan and Bi Yunyan strolled on the summit.

The four women were sent away.

Yan Nan ordered the four to be on this small mountain, each having to come to an understanding of a principle before returning.

"Why is this, Little Han?"

The three women were thoroughly baffled: "Understand what principle?"

Yan Beihan sighed: "It’s just an excuse to throw us out... Probably a few old folks have matters to discuss, and we were always lingering in the tent, not leaving, which annoyed them."

"Tsk... Just chase us away directly, but they want to make an excuse..."

The three women simultaneously rolled their eyes.

Over there.

Yin Shen Palace concluded its cultivation, the gift from Bi Changhong finally settled down. As for a complete integration, Yin Shen Palace felt it would take at least six months to a year and might not be achievable.

However, the rapid advance in strength made Yin Sect Leader’s mood uplifted to the utmost.

The mood was also exceptionally good.

But immediately was frightened; almost scared to the point of soul scatter!

Because...

After Yin Shen Palace finished cultivation, Wu Xiang and other ’superiors of Yin Shen Palace’, who were kneeling before him, finally stood up.

Each of them looked at Yin Shen Palace with eyes filled with resentment, almost ready to swallow him whole!

This scoundrel Yin Shen Palace, actually practiced here for a full three hours!

We effectively ended up kneeling for three extra hours because of this scoundrel!

The knees of fourteen people are about to be shattered, especially Ji Changyan, who nearly went astray from kneeling.

"Yin Shen Palace!" Wu Xiang gritted his teeth: "Yin Shen Palace really knows how to endure! Your practice is truly diligent!"

Yin Shen Palace’s face turned pale: "I beg for your forgiveness, I genuinely was unaware, under those circumstances..."

Everyone naturally knew Yin Shen Palace was unaware, but... is their anger not to be directed at Yin Shen Palace, directed at Bi Changhong instead?

"Alright, alright... Yin Shen Palace, you’ve been remembered! We’ll see whose turn it is in Jianghu!"

"Yin Sect Leader, you’re impressive, we’ll meet again in Jianghu!"

"You, Yin, wait for me!"
