章 53: 53. Xie Yue's Needs

Xie Yue knows that in the original work, Ning Fengzhi didn't subdue the four single-attribute clans.

It's not that Ning Fengzhi didn't try or anything like that; he must have used many means with his character.

But maybe they were all long-term plans, like what Xie Yue suggested at last. So, before those plans succeeded, Tang San must have interfered and got everything for himself. Or maybe Ning Fengzhi's plans completely failed because of the unity of the four single clans.

There is also the possibility that Ning Fengzhi didn't try hard to subdue them so as not to offend the Clear Sky Sect. After all, the Clear Sky Sect may still have planned to take the four single-attribute clans back after they come out of the mountain in the future. In that case, the Clear Sky Sect people should have hinted to Ning Fengzhi not to interfere with their matters.

"But all of these are only my speculations; I am not sure why Ning Fengzhi didn't subdue them in the original work. If there are some hidden reasons for this, like I guessed, it is good. After all, I don't want Ning Fengzhi to subdue them either," Xie Yue thought to himself.

Xie Yue has his reasons for not wanting the STGT sect to subdue them.

Once they were annexed into the STGT sect, the four single-attribute clans would belong to Ning Fengzhi's lineage. It has nothing to do with Xie Yue.

Even though currently Ning is teaching Xie Yue political skills and showing kindness, it has its limits.

Ning Fengzhi won't allow Xie Yue to become the sect master or let him rule over their sect just because he adopted him. Even if Xie Yue's talent is excellent, there is still no chance for him to gain power in this sect.

Though Xie Yue's value in Ning Fengzhi's heart has increased from the initial loyal adopted dog to a good adopted son, it has never changed fundamentally.

At first, Ning Fengzhi adopted Xie Yue and Hu Liena only to raise them as their sect-guarding dogs.

Ning Fengzhi wanted to brainwash them little by little and instill a loyalty code in them. But after some unexpected events, like his wife's death, Ning Fengzhi changed himself for his deceased wife and gave Xie Yue and Hu liena the fatherly love they needed, considering them as his closest people and deciding to raise them as sect guardians.

But still, there is no fundamental change; Xie Yue only became a Sect Guardian from a Sect Guarding Dog. It has never changed even now; there is no chance for Xie Yue to rule the STGT sect.

Although Xie Yue can still enjoy a similar status and power as the two Sword and Bone Douluos in the future, there is no need for that at that time.

Once he reaches Title Douluo level, does he need to stay in this sect for this little power?! Since this sect won't truly belong to him, he didn't want to lose the four single-attribute clans to them. He has his plans for the four single-attribute clans; there is also a reason why Xie Yue told his ideas to Ning Fengzhi openly... It was to get close to the single-attribute clans easily!

Even though Xie Yue didn't want Ning Fengzhi to get them completely, he needed Ning Fengzhi to get closer to them so that he could interact with the four clans easily, increasing his chances of subduing them in the future.

And Xie Yue was not like Ning Fengzhi, who doesn't know about the future. Xie Yue knows that since he appeared in this world, Tang San can never easily gain acknowledgment from the four single-attribute clan leaders and become their master.

If Xie Yue steals Tang San's chances, Tang San's growth speed will dwindle, and he may not be able to become their master in even 20 years. There may be some unexpected situations, like Tang San revealing his Clear Sky Hammer to Tai Tan. But once Xie Yue takes care of these little encounters, everything will become easy.

'At the end of the day, I still need to create my own force. In that way, I can gain more freedom and safety. Unlike here... Although I have almost everything I wanted coming to my lap on their own because of Ning Fengzhi and others' care, I still didn't gain the freedom I needed,' Xie Yue knows what to prioritize.

Now that he already has a safe environment to grow, his next need is to create a safe environment outside the sect that can help him do things and protect him when going outside.

But he knows it's not going to happen in the near future. He needs strength for that matter too.

'But that can only be fulfilled when I get a powerful subordinate...'Xie Yue stopped his thoughts as he was interrupted by the discussion between Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.

"Fengzhi, what Moon said was a good idea indeed. We shall go with this plan. It's better if we can help them without anyone knowing..." Chen Xin said his opinion.

"Yes, Uncle Sword, I'll take care of that. It's good if we can let them relocate around our sect. But I have to plan it carefully so as not to arouse others' suspicions," Ning Fengzhi concluded.

Afterwards, they talked about Xie Yue's and Hu Liena's cultivation and many other things.

"Father, tomorrow I will leave the sect to visit Teacher Tang Yuehua. I also plan to stay in Heaven Dou City for a few more days for sightseeing... Is that okay with you?" Xie Yue asked Ning Fengzhi for permission to leave the sect.

"Haha, why are you asking me about this little thing? You can play around the city for a few more days. Bring Lihua and Rongrong with you this time. But be careful about what to reveal and return within ten days." Ning Fengzhi gave Xie Yue permission without any concern. Xie Yue and Hu Liena had already grown up, and they were smart children, so Ning Fengzhi was assured about letting them play around.

Hearing they were going to play out together, Ning Rongrong cheered. Hu Liena was also very happy as she smiled beautifully.

"Thank you, Father. Don't worry, I will be careful," Xie Yue thanked Ning Fengzhi.
