“If I ever had a choice, I wouldn’t take that risk, would I? I don’t want to be a sworn enemy to those two powerful clans.
“If I had another choice, I wouldn’t have… I wouldn’t want to be an enemy to the two clans, would I? I just… I thought maybe I could seize the good luck. If I got through the barrier in my cultivation, I could solve things out… Well, if I failed, I died…”
Chihuo sighed. It seemed he became much older now.
Ye Xiao was surprised. “Why is it all just you? The Seven Colored Lords are seven men. You share the same honor. You should be close to each other, and they should help you get the essence of dragons and phoenixes. It should be possible. If the seven of them went to the Purple Dragon King and the Golden Phoenix King for a favor, they might offer you something. I don’t think you have to take the essence of their royal blood. You could try some ordinary essence as well. Why did you do it in such an extreme way?”
“You are right, kid. However…” Chihuo’s face looked even worse. He made a bitter smile, and he sounded powerless and piteous.
“You are young, but you know so much about history. You must be better than most of the people at your age. Well, but you don’t know everything. The Seven Colored Lords aren’t like the Seven Golden Lotuses. We are not sworn brothers. We are just a group of people who decided to be a team. Our martial arts give us different colors… People always talk about us together, so we decided to be the Seven Colored Lords.
“Not all the other six men are close to me. Only two or three of them are my friends.”
“Day after day, the other six are all much more powerful than me. I am just as weak as the old days…” Chihuo laughed and said, “I guess I have lost them now…
“They are beyond the clouds. Why would they help me?”
Ye Xiao didn’t know what to say.
“Friends look after friends…” Chihuo shook his head and sighed. “Well, you must be roughly at the same level to stay friends. You can’t be too much worse… Otherwise, there won’t be equality in the relationship.
“Friendship between cultivators is especially so. If two cultivators want to make friends, they must be in the same league. If one party is too weaker than the other, it won’t work out. One is high upon the clouds, while the other is low in the dirt like an ant. How is that going to be possible? It is absurd…” Chihuo said, “The weak helps the strong, and people call it kissing asses! The strong helps the weak, well, and people call it pity.”
“Kid, you must not have a different opinion with me on this matter. Ask yourself. If an ant keeps fawning on you, what do you think? Just think about it. I don’t see why they should help me with this…” Chihuo looked at Ye Xiao and sighed. “Kid, if you want to survive in the martial world, remember this. You can only have friends that are equal to you… If one of you is much stronger than the other, you are not friends.”
Ye Xiao was solemn. He blandly said, “Maybe you are right…”
Ye Xiao couldn’t deny it. Chihuo was telling the truth. It had been proven in many cases.
It was in the nature of people.
“However, there is always true love in the world.” Ye Xiao said, “If you are truly brothers, you don’t care about the difference.”
Chihuo coldly smiled and said, “I am not going to argue with that. At least, I have never seen anything like that in my life.”
“Sure. You haven’t seen any, so you won’t believe it. However, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t real brotherhood. It doesn’t mean we can deny it.” Ye Xiao blandly smiled and said, “I have brothers. Good brothers. Some of them got wasted and now have been working really hard to catch up. Some are much weaker than the others. Some aren’t even cultivators. However, we never changed. We are brothers. My father has brothers. They trust each other with their lives!”
What Ye Xiao talked about was definitely the relationship between Ye Nantian and Song Jue. These two were truly close to each other. Trust was not enough to describe their relationship. They would die together!
Chihuo smiled and said, “Really? Is there truly such a pure relationship between two people? I hope you and your brothers can go on and become better brothers than your father and his brother!”
Ye Xiao said, “I don’t know if we are better than them, but I am sure my brothers and I will support each other to the end of the world!”
Chihuo said, “Ah… You have that special charm out of your personality. Maybe you are good enough to attract a bunch of trustworthy brothers. The Great Master Ye did it too. The Seven Golden Lotuses followed him with loyalty. A hundred thousand years have passed, the story of them is still famous in the world! However, a great leader is the key!
“A great leader must always be selfless. He must lead the others forward… Only with a leader like that will the brothers be able always support each other.
“I think you can be a great leader as well.
“However, it is a shame that the Seven Colored Lords don’t have such a leader. We fight for our own purpose in the martial world. We are not brothers, and we are more like opponents to each other. Everyone wants to take the title as the leader of the Seven Colored Lords.”
Chihuo frankly said, “It is also the truth.”
Ye Xiao stayed silent for a while and said, “There must be a selfish leader. It is true. Master Chihuo, everything needs good management. Business and friendship are not so different.
“As long as you treat your friends with honesty and a pure heart, the team will follow you. They will be willing to support each other.
“To build a strong brotherhood with a pure heart, it would be even stronger than brothers who simply share the same bloodline. I think you wouldn’t deny this.”
When Ye Xiao said these words, he was pretty serious.
“No, I won’t.” Chihuo said, “Devotion is needed. The true heart brings purity.”
He made a deep sigh. He could see Ye Xiao’s confidence and pride.
