Chapter 255 Unfair Matters

"A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions; we are now ordered to guard Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, safe and sound, and do not need to worry about fighting to the death."

"Naturally, we will not do anything to betray the sect."

"If the building is truly about to collapse, our actions would naturally be justifiable."

"But for now, we should still continue to guard this Heavenly Pivot Immortal City as the main priority."

"As long as we are still in this Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, who can say that we are not thinking for the sect?"

Stating his understanding of the difference between self-taught and orthodox backgrounds, He Song looked at the two people beside him, wanting to see what their reactions were.

The different treatment between self-taught and orthodox backgrounds was something He Song had been mentally prepared for early on.

This kind of thing was not new.

Who could truly trust someone who was not nurtured from childhood?

Even if one successfully broke through to Foundation Establishment within one's own sphere of influence, and it proved that this person had indeed been cultivating within one's own sphere of influence all along.

But so what?

If they were not direct descendants nurtured from childhood, how could they truly be entrusted with important tasks?

If he were He Song, He Song would definitely do the same.

At the same time, the three of them were now in Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, safe and sound.

Naturally, they did not need to think about risking their lives.

Although in his heart he felt that it was not worth risking their lives for the annual stipend of three thousand spirit stones.

But since they did not need to think about risking their lives, the three of them could naturally just continue to muddle along in Heavenly Pivot Immortal City like this.

As for betraying the sect.

That was also impossible to do.

Heavenly Pivot Immortal City was so safe now, just stationing here was enough.

What they thought in their hearts, did not matter.

As long as they did not actually put it into action, that was enough.

A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions; if even thinking in one's heart was not allowed, then perhaps there would be no good people in the whole world.

He Song also had some guesses about Meng Guan and Wei Fan's thoughts.

These two people, should have received a lot of stimulation after being transferred to Heavenly Pivot Immortal City.

Otherwise.

They, who used to have a lot of goodwill towards Earth Sect, would not have said these words.

Sect elites and wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment, although both were in Earth Sect, the difference between the two was still relatively large.

Whether it was the degree of trust from the sect's higher-ups.

Or battle prowess, knowledge, etc.

As for what Wei Fan had said before.

That those who could fight to the death in times of sect crisis were only sect elites.

He Song felt that it was quite normal.

The relationship between wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment and Earth Sect was originally one of mutual benefit.

Earth Sect provided Foundation Establishment cultivation methods, plus an annual stipend, to ensure the cultivation and battle prowess of Foundation Establishment True Persons.

And after wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment joined Earth Sect, they would naturally also make contributions to Earth Sect, such as guarding Immortal Markets and Immortal Cities, and doing some other things.

Neither side could be said to owe the other anything.

If Earth Sect did not provide Foundation Establishment cultivation methods, and did not provide annual stipends.

Could a wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment starve to death? Other sects would only wish that their own sect had more Foundation Establishment True Persons.

Of course, if a wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment resolutely refused to join Earth Sect, Earth Sect would not suffer too much loss either.

It was just that the sect would have one less Foundation Establishment battle prowess.

And it was precisely because the relationship between the two sides was only one of mutual benefit.

Wanting to use an annual stipend of three thousand spirit stones to tie down a Foundation Establishment True Person, and make a Foundation Establishment True Person risk their life for this, was quite impossible.

If this place does not keep me, there is always a place to keep me.

As a Foundation Establishment True Person, they would be treated with courtesy wherever they went.

Why bother to hang oneself on a single tree.

And this.

Was also the thoughts in the hearts of most wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment True Persons.

When war really came, wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment definitely could not be relied on.

The sect's higher-ups probably also knew this point.

Fighting a winning battle was okay, with more people, at least they could boost their momentum.

But if it was a losing battle.

They would definitely run faster than anyone else, and might even cause a rout on the entire battlefield.

That would be a big joke.

Those who truly went to the battlefield.

The vast majority were sect elites, and some wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment who had just joined the sect, and did not yet fully recognize their identity.

Such as Meng Guan and Wei Fan before.

They were transferred to Linked Mountain Immortal City back then, and had many battles with Seven Stars Sect's Foundation Establishment True Persons in Linked Mountain Immortal City.

At that time, they had just joined the sect, and did not know the difference between sect elites and wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment.

They were sent up in such a muddle-headed manner.

Fortunately, they had good lives, and both survived.

It was not until later, after the war ended, Meng Guan and Wei Fan's cultivation levels broke through, and they were transferred to Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, and had contact with true sect elites, that they finally realized one thing.

They, in the eyes of the sect's higher-ups, were just wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment.

Completely different from true sect elites.

Perhaps it was also because they came to Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, and fully felt this difference, and accumulated over time, that the two of them's impression of Earth Sect declined again and again.

Until now.

Wei Fan had already opened his mouth to He Song about their views on Earth Sect.

What favor had already been repaid.

What it was good to enjoy the shade under a big tree.

What people were ultimately different from each other.

What not.

These words, if it were in the past, Wei Fan would probably not have been able to say them.

In this way, Wei Fan and Meng Guan must have really experienced a lot in these years, and understood many things.

"Daoist friend is right, as long as we guard Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, we will naturally be safe and sound."

"According to Daoist friend's deduction, if war really breaks out, this place will welcome a Golden Core True Lord."

"With a Golden Core True Lord guarding it, our safety will naturally be worry-free."

"In this way, there is no need to think about things like going to the battlefield."

"Nor is there a need to think about whether it is worth risking one's life for three thousand spirit stones."

"Since this is the case, then let's just stay in this Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, and sit and watch the changes in the world."

"Anyway, the sect will probably not send us to the battlefield."

"With sect elites around, we, these wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment, just need to cheer from the rear."

Facing He Song's statement, Meng Guan pondered slightly for a moment, before opening his mouth to respond.

Considered to have agreed with He Song's statement.

Beside him, Wei Fan also woke up from his thoughtfulness, and also nodded, agreeing with He Song's statement.

According to He Song's statement.

The three of them, from now on, just needed to guard this place.

Anyway, this place was the hinterland of Earth Sect, even if war really broke out, it would probably not affect here.

Even if it did affect here, once war broke out, there would probably be a Golden Core True Lord guarding this place.

With a Golden Core True Lord backing them up, what was there to fear?

The three of them were just Guardian True Persons of Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, as long as they were still in Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, no one would be able to criticize them.

As for betraying the sect, it was even more nonsense.

The three of them were loyal to Earth Sect, stationing at Heavenly Pivot Immortal City at all times, so where did the thought of betrayal come from?

Wei Fan's previous words.

Were just complaining.

After all, anyone who was sent to the battlefield without knowing it, and afterwards learned that their treatment was completely different from that of sect elites, would have some complaints in their hearts.

Saying it at this time, could also just vent some pent-up frustration, so that he would not get into a dead end.

"Alas, the difference between sect elites and wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment, it seems, is really impossible to bridge."

"No matter how hard we try, we cannot truly integrate into it."

"Wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment, is ultimately just wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment."

"Compared to true sect elites, we are ultimately just outsiders."

Although he had already agreed with He Song's view in his heart, Wei Fan still let out a long sigh, a look of unwillingness seemingly on his face.

Regarding this, He Song saw it in his eyes, his expression did not change much.

But there was a trace of doubt in his heart.

He did not know what his two friends had experienced in these years.

Why did they look so resentful and dissatisfied whenever this matter was mentioned?

According to his thinking, although there was a gap between sect elites and wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment, the gap should not be too obvious.

If it was too obvious, wouldn't that be pushing people's hearts outwards? How could they talk about winning people's hearts?

Bearing doubts.

He Song thought about it, and finally chose to ask a question.

"Brother Wei, do you know of any unfair matters? Why do you have such a big complaint about the difference between sect elites and us wandering cultivator Foundation Establishment?"

Based on He Song's understanding of Wei Fan.

If he did not know of any unfair matters, and was also powerless to resist, he would not act like this.

According to his degree of goodwill towards Earth Sect, it was also impossible for him to say those words before.

If it were in the past, if Earth Sect had an order, Wei Fan, not to say he would be the first to rush forward, but he would at least be among the first batch to rush forward.

Towards Earth Sect.

Wei Fan was once extremely yearning.

After entering it, he was even more excited.

Even when he was sent to Linked Mountain Immortal City back then, Wei Fan did not have the slightest fear, even with excitement in his eyes.

But as a result.

Now, towards Earth Sect, he showed such resentment.

What exactly had happened in between, that could make Wei Fan's attitude towards Earth Sect undergo such a big change.

Even saying things like people are ultimately different from each other.

Saying things like it was good to enjoy the shade under a big tree.

Saying things like if it were him, he would also run away, etc.

Although it was just complaining, from these words, He Song could even perceive the change in his thoughts before and after.

From being very positive originally.

To now being in a state of killing time and being apathetic.

What exactly had happened in this change.

He Song felt that he should investigate it.

"Unfair matters?"

"It is not really any unfair matter."

"This matter, Old Meng and I also learned by chance, it comes out of my mouth, and enters your ears, Daoist friend must not tell others."

Facing He Song's question, Wei Fan said, He Song immediately sensed a not weak divine sense enveloping the surroundings.

The divine sense aura was Wei Fan's.

Enveloping the surroundings with divine sense could ensure that no one would be able to hear the conversation between the three.

It seemed.

Wei Fan wanted to say some secret matters.

He Song nodded, indicating for him to continue.

"Daoist friend, do you have any understanding of the Golden Core Great Dao?"

Looking at He Song, Wei Fan just opened his mouth, and He Song immediately felt a shock in his heart.

Golden Core Great Dao?

After Foundation Establishment, it was Golden Core.

But what was the Golden Core Great Dao, He Song did not know, nor had he ever learned of such news.
