This is true even for those above the ninth rank.
At this moment, Chen Pingping finally understood why Lu Xiao had been so confident in denying his decision.
He knew clearly that the moment Lu Xiao displayed his Grandmaster strength, the situation was completely out of his control.
At this moment, Lu Xiao gently raised his arm and placed it on Shadow's shoulder, with a playful smile on his face.
"Instructor, although your strength is a little lacking, your eyesight is still good."
Shadow's body was tense at this moment.
Lu Xiao continued to laugh, "Don't be so nervous. After all, you've been very kind to me, Instructor. It was just a joke. I won't kill you."
Then he turned around and looked at the silent Chen Pingping and said.
"Dean, now you have the right to say you disagree, right?"
Although he knew that Lu Xiao was a Grandmaster, Chen Pingping still showed no fear at all.
Not everyone in this world is afraid of death.
There are always some people who are not afraid of death.
This is the case with Chen Pingping.
Of course, this doesn't mean that he can ignore the Grandmaster.
Not being afraid doesn't mean being stupid.
At this moment, no one knew what was going on in the deep-minded Chen Pingping's mind.
There was almost no emotion in his eyes, but it seemed as if he had just made some important decision in an instant.
After a moment, he replied calmly, "Indeed, I have. You don't agree with Fan Xian inheriting the Inspection Office. Is it because you want the Inspection Office yourself?"
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "Yes and no."
Chen Pingping asked, "Why?"
Lu Xiao slowly walked back, sat back in his wheelchair, and spoke to the others present.
"You guys go down, there are some things I want to discuss with the dean in private."
After hearing this, Yingzi and the other organizers simultaneously turned their attention to Chen Pingping.
These people are completely loyal to Chen Pingping.
Even though Lu Xiao had already demonstrated his Grandmaster skills, they still acted like this.
At this time, Chen Pingping said with a smile, "Everyone, go down. If the Grandmaster wants to kill me, your presence or absence won't matter much."
Only then did the other hosts stand up, bow to the two, and leave the courtyard.
By the way, he also carried away Senior Brother Leng who was lying on the ground.
After seeing this, Fan Xian also planned to leave.
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "Don't leave. This matter concerns you."
Fan Xian was slightly stunned, then he retracted his steps.
Lu Xiao looked at Chen Pingping again.
"I do want the Inspection Office, but I don't agree with Fan Xian taking over simply because he's not suitable. I have no selfish motives in this regard."
"I've known Fan Xian for some time now. I've seen his character. He's kindhearted, righteous, a bit clever, and a bit scheming. He's not a bad person; on the contrary, he's quite likable. But his personality just doesn't make him suitable for inheriting the Inspection Office."
Chen Pingping said, "People can be cultivated. Fan Xian is still young and has plenty of time to grow. I'm not planning on retiring right now."
Lu Xiao said, "Indeed, people can be trained, but for some people, there are certain things, certain methods, that they will never be able to learn in their lifetime, no matter how hard you try to train them."
"What's the matter?" Chen Pingping asked.
Lu Xiao opened his mouth, but only uttered one word.
"ruthless!"
After hearing this word, Chen Pingping fell into silence.
At this time, Lu Xiao continued, "He wasn't ruthless enough, because this violates his principles and bottom line. Fan Xian, let me ask you, could you bring yourself to kill a child? Even if the child's parents and relatives were heinous and guilty, with countless blood debts on their hands, and could not escape death..."
Fan Xian shook his head without hesitation and said, "How is that possible? Even if his parents committed a heinous crime, it has nothing to do with the child."
This answer was not at all unexpected by Lu Xiao.
Deep down, Fan Xian still believes in the theory that everyone is equal in modern society.
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "But similar things happen to us at the Inspection Office almost every day. You've only seen the positive side of Gao Guangwei, but most of the time, the Inspection Office's style of doing things is much dirtier than you imagine. Whether it's me or anyone else, our hands are stained with similar blood. Dean, do you think I'm right?"
Although Chen Pingping didn't want to admit it, he didn't want to lie to Lu Xiao at this moment.
So he finally nodded.
"That's true, but since people can change, the Inspection Office can naturally change as well. I chose you as my successor. Although I have selfish motives, I also hope that when you have the ability in the future, you can change the Inspection Office and turn it into what it should be."
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "Dean, if you can't do it, how can you think he can? I'm not underestimating him, but you're too confident in him. And it seems you never even consulted him about this decision. Aren't you afraid of his child throwing a tantrum?"
child?
When Fan Xian heard these two words, he became anxious and said immediately, "Who is the child? Don't talk nonsense! I'll sue you for defamation, believe it or not."
Only he could remain calm after knowing that Lu Xiao was a Grandmaster.
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "Alright, you're not a child. So let me ask you, what kind of person do you want to be? To inherit the Inspection Office, wielding immense power, second only to the emperor and above everyone else? Or to inherit the Imperial Treasury, controlling the financial power of the entire nation? Or perhaps both, becoming someone even the emperor would fear?"
After hearing this question, Fan Xian smiled bitterly.
"Total power and wealth are indeed very tempting, but if I say that I don't want any of them, I just want a peaceful life, a little money, a little leisure time, to travel with Wan'er when I'm free, have a few children in the future, and live a stable life, do you believe me?"
He had actually said similar things to many people.
But few people believe.
However, Lu Xiao nodded and said, "I believe it."
He didn't doubt what Fan Xian had just said.
Because at this moment, Fan Xian was just so "useless"...
Chapter 229 Ambition
After hearing Lu Xiao's words, a rare hint of joy appeared on Fan Xian's face.
This was the first time he had heard these two words from someone else without a doubt.
"Thank you."
Fan Xian looked at Lu Xiao gratefully.
At this time, Lu Xiao turned his gaze back to Chen Pingping.
Chen Pingping was very angry at Fan Xian, his teammate who had been so nagging him, but at the moment he was helpless.
Finally, he could only helplessly say to Lu Xiao: "But, the Inspection Institute should have been his, because..."
He held back the rest of the words.
Didn't say it.
But Lu Xiao added on for him.
"Because the Inspection Institute was founded by his mother? Dean, are you trying to say that?"
This time, a hint of surprise finally appeared in Chen Pingping's eyes.
Then he said, "It seems you know much more than I thought."
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "It's just a few hundred million. Don't worry about the details."
This time, Chen Pingping nodded and said, "Yes, the Inspection Institute was founded by his mother. I am merely guarding it on her behalf. So, in my opinion, it is only natural for him to inherit the Inspection Institute."
Lu Xiao said, "This is just your personal opinion, Dean. But I feel that from the moment Ye Qingmei founded the Inspection Institute, she never considered it her own private property. The stone tablet at the entrance says it all. However, since Ye Qingmei's death, fewer and fewer people have noticed the content on the stone tablet. I'm afraid even you don't remember what it said by now, right?"
Chen Pingping was furious when he heard this. He finally became excited: "How could I not remember? I remember every word and every stroke clearly!"
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "Really? Then I'd like to ask you, Dean, do you remember the words above, or do you remember the ideas they describe?"
At this moment, Chen Pingping was speechless.
He suddenly realized that he couldn't answer this question.
idea?
What is Ye Qingmei's philosophy?
What was her original intention in establishing the Inspection Institute?
She wants everyone in the world to be like a dragon.
She wanted to put a shackle on the supreme imperial power.
That's why she founded the Inspection Institute.
But since Ye Qingmei's death.
What has the Inspection Institute done in his hands over the years?
He was completely reduced to a tool for Emperor Qing to check and balance the court officials and monitor the world.
He had never wanted the Inspection Institute to become what it should be.
But he couldn't do it. In terms of intelligence and strategy, Emperor Qing was no less than him. In terms of status, Emperor Qing was the ruler and he was the minister.
In the confrontation between the two, he was inherently at an absolute disadvantage.
And he's a useless person.
More importantly, there are things he wants to do more than just let the Inspection Office return to its original state.
He wants revenge.
He wanted to avenge Ye Qingmei.
So he could only endure, lie dormant quietly, and wait for the opportunity.
However, even with these excuses.
At this moment he still couldn't utter a word.
Because just as Lu Xiao said, few people in the Inspection Office remember the contents of the stone tablet anymore.
Not a word.
It's a concept.
This was a fact he could not refute.
Chen Pingping clenched his fists tightly. After a long moment, he seemed to lose all strength and finally released his fists.
Then he looked at Lu Xiao and asked seriously.
"So can you? Can you turn the Inspector General into what he was supposed to be?"
Lu Xiao smiled and shook his head, saying, "Dean, you think too highly of me. I may be a Grandmaster now, but I'm still human. As long as we're human, we have selfish desires, and I'm no different. There's no such thing as true equality for all. In my opinion, Ye Qingmei's ideals were nothing but wishful thinking from the very beginning, so her death was inevitable."
"But, although I cannot make everyone equal, I can make sure that everyone below me is a straw dog. Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs. Even the master is unkind and treats mortals as straw dogs. In my eyes, whether it's the emperor on the dragon throne or the ordinary people in the folk, even the dung pickers and beggars, we are all the same."
When he said this, Lu Xiao did not hide his ambition at all, and his aura continued to rise with his words.
Finally, the overwhelming momentum rushed out of the Inspection Institute and into the sky.
The sky above the Inspection Institute suddenly began to change.
Countless dark clouds gathered together, emitting bursts of thunder.
After seeing this scene, Chen Pingping and Fan Xian couldn't help but open their mouths wide.
Disturbing the heavens with breath.
Is this really a human?
Is this really a method that a Grand Master can master?
Chen Pingping couldn't help but become suspicious.
He had never heard of any great master in the world who had such miraculous means.
Fortunately, after Lu Xiao finished speaking, he withdrew his aura.
