The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 438 The Young Swordsman's Tale: Underworld Chapter 6

But then Xiao Ruofeng thought again that with Xiao Chuhe's stubborn nature, even if he told him everything in advance, the latter might not agree to the plan.

Ugh!

The die is cast, and no amount of regret will change anything.

I only hope that Chuhe can overcome this difficulty and find his own path in the future.

As his thoughts wandered, Xiao Ruofeng thought of Emperor Mingde and couldn't help but let out another heavy sigh.

He thought to himself, 'Brother, I knew you were wary of me, but I never imagined you would be so wary. Even tigers don't eat their cubs, and Chu He is your own son!'

Now that he has only spoken a few words of justice for me, how can you bear to demote him to a commoner? What is the point of this?

Can power truly make people so cold-blooded and ruthless, disregarding even the bonds of family?

Xiao Ruofeng sighed inwardly, his mind replaying how he and his brother had gradually come to this point.

Emperor Mingguan was already looking worried and was so anxious that he kept clicking his teeth. He suggested, "Why don't we think of a way to go up and give Xiao Ruojin a dream and ask him to bring Xiao Chuhe back?"

"What's the use of finding it!"

Xiao Yi shoved Emperor Mingguan aside, then pointed at Xiao Ruofeng and angrily cursed, "Xiao Chuhe has clearly been ruined by this bastard! He himself is full of dreams of the martial world, and he has instilled these unrealistic ideas in Xiao Chuhe."

Look at him now, Xiao Chuhe acts entirely on impulse, completely disregarding strategy. Where is the slightest resemblance to an emperor?

Even if Emperor Mingde eventually finds him, given Xiao Chuhe's current state, how could he possibly shoulder the heavy responsibility of governing the country? How could he possibly be a good emperor?

When Emperor Mingde entrusted his son to Xiao Ruofeng for upbringing, Xiao Yi had a vague sense of foreboding, fearing that Xiao Chuhe would be led astray by Xiao Ruofeng.

Now that his worries have become a reality, Xiao Yi is furious.

Faced with Xiao Yi's accusations, Xiao Ruofeng smiled faintly, his eyes revealing a detached tranquility: "Why is Emperor Tianwu so angry? The path of an emperor has never been one that can be steadily traversed by strategy and scheming."

Chu He's most precious qualities are his innocence and sense of justice, which are also the key to his ability to win people's hearts.

I know what you're worried about right now, but please believe that Chuhe has his own ambitions and choices. He is exploring his own path and has the ability to correct every mistake he made in the past. I believe he will definitely return to Tianqi City with his own abilities.

By then, he will be more mature and composed, earning everyone's respect and trust through his own abilities.

At that time, no one will be able to easily stop him from moving forward.

At this point, Xiao Ruofeng smiled slightly and looked at Xiao Yi, saying, "When you stormed the old capital, you cleaved the plaque of Tianqi City with a heroic sword, leaving behind the four words 'Act according to your heart' for the young men of the world, inspiring countless hearts. Now, isn't Xiao Chuhe firmly following his own heart and moving forward fearlessly?"

Xiao Yi: ...

What a boomerang move!

Xiao Yi's anger reached its peak instantly. He shouted angrily, "When I said 'act according to your heart,' I meant that I hoped the young people could stick to their beliefs and bravely pursue their dreams. Not that I wanted Xiao Chuhe to do those impulsive and reckless stupid things! His actions are clearly a misinterpretation of those four words!"

He looked at Xiao Ruofeng, who was smiling, and questioned, "Are you proud of having taught such a disciple who 'acts according to his heart'? What's so funny about that?"

"You are utterly foolish! You think you died a noble death, but you don't know that your stupidity is about to plunge the world into chaos!"

Because of your choice, Li Xinyue died to save you, and your son Xiao Lingchen was forced to leave his hometown and live a life of ignominy.

Xiao Chuhe, who was originally a strong contender to inherit the throne, was demoted to a commoner because of you, and the already settled struggle for the throne has been stirred up again.

Although your Langya Army seems peaceful now, it will surely cause trouble again in the future.

Meanwhile, the masterminds behind the scenes, such as Zhuoxin and others, remain at large, unharmed, staying in the imperial mausoleum, waiting to stir up trouble again in the future.

You thought your death would solve the problem, but little did you know, it would only make the already stable situation even more chaotic! And you—"

Xiao Yi was furious. He pointed his finger directly at Xiao Ruofeng and said sternly, "You are completely unaware of the consequences of your actions. Not only do you not feel any remorse, but you are also here arguing with your ancestors and indulging in verbal sparring!"

"Huh? I, I..." Xiao Ruofeng was stunned by Xiao Yi's sudden and stern rebuke. After he realized what it meant, he was speechless for a moment.

"How dare you talk back!" Xiao Yi waved his hand and roared, "Drag him away and beat him severely!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd, who had been terrified into silence by Xiao Yi's anger, instantly snapped out of their shock and hurriedly dragged Xiao Ruofeng away.

Xiao Yi, who never gives up, watched the departing figures of the group, let out a long breath, and thought to himself, "That was close! I almost got stumped by his questions."

In truth, Xiao Yi still admired Xiao Ruofeng.

Xiao Ruofeng is a man of great loyalty and righteousness, highly skilled in martial arts, and with a heart full of righteousness for the world. He is arguably the most outstanding among all his descendants.

But, what brought him success also brought him failure!

Xiao Ruofeng's strengths are also his most fatal weaknesses.

His strong sense of loyalty made it difficult for him to sever his brotherhood with Xiao Ruojin and his camaraderie with Baili Dongjun.

This made it impossible for him to turn a blind eye to the turmoil in the North and the suffering of the people.

He strives for perfection in everything and tries his best to satisfy everyone.

But they forgot that manpower is limited, and as a result, they did nothing well.

In the end, he had no choice but to sacrifice himself to try his best to accommodate everyone.

Such a person is a rare sight, perhaps only once every few centuries.

Once born, it will surely be praised by the world.

However, from the perspective of an emperor, Xiao Ruofeng's actions absolutely crossed the bottom line that no emperor could tolerate.

Whether it was his 800,000-strong Langya Army, his high reputation in the martial arts world and the imperial court, or even the throne he once voluntarily relinquished.

It can be said that as long as Xiao Ruofeng wants, he can change the world and reshape the universe in Beili at any time.

In fact, no one would say a bad word about him.

Because in everyone's eyes, the throne that Xiao Ruojin is sitting on now should rightfully belong to Xiao Ruofeng.

And that is the reason he had to die.

Indeed, he had no intention of rebelling.

But that power, enough to shake the world, was itself an "original sin" that emperors could not tolerate.
