My cultivation is too warm

Chapter 312 The Relationship Between the Two Sect Masters: Harmony and Sorrow (4000 words)

Whether they were persuaded or for some other reason, the Tianxuan Sect Master and the others did not reject the name proposed by Xu Mo.

In short, the "Ancient World United as One Family Alliance" was thus established.

More than half a year later, Xu Mo, who was studying in the Sutra Repository, was summoned out by the Sect Master of Tianxuan Sect.

When Xu Mo met the Tianxuan Sect Master, he was accompanied by a tall and imposing old man dressed in black robes.

The two men, one in black and one in white, one imposing and domineering, the other with an ethereal and otherworldly air, stood together, back to back.

Then, the Tianxuan Sect Master, dressed in white, greeted Xu Mo, saying, "Come, come, you've come at the right time. Let me introduce you. This is Venerable Haoran, the Sect Master of Haoran Sect."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo quickly raised his hand in greeting: "Greetings, senior."

Venerable Haoran nodded slightly and smiled at him, "No need for formalities."

He spoke in a deep, resonant voice, very imposing, just like his tall and imposing physique; his very words could intimidate others.

Then the Sect Master of Tianxuan continued, "At the same time, he is also my mortal enemy, the kind who will fight to the death. However, today, we have decided to let bygones be bygones and become sworn brothers, setting a good example for all parties in Canggu and uniting against external enemies."

"We promise that once we are on the battlefield, we will entrust our backs to the enemy without reservation and will never let the enemy die before us. Whoever dies first is a dog, and we will take care of the enemy's family and descendants wholeheartedly and without complaint."

Then he patted Xu Mo on the shoulder and said, "Actually, we had already discussed it a few months ago. It's just that when we saw the other party's face, we couldn't control our Dao heart and wanted to kill him. That was completely unconvincing."

"After several months of practice and adaptation, we've gotten used to each other's faces and can control our killing intent. The reason I called you here is to show you how close we brothers are, even closer than blood brothers."

"If you think there are no problems, then let's announce this message together and get more people involved."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo immediately showed an interested expression, looked at them expectantly, and nodded, saying, "No problem, seniors, please begin."

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of Tianxuan Sect and Venerable Haoran nodded silently, then slowly turned around and stood facing each other.

Upon seeing each other's faces, the two men's expressions turned fierce, their eyes looking as if they wished they could tear each other to pieces, crush them, and devour them.

Then, carefully controlling their expressions, they spoke angrily: "Brother Ran!" "Brother Xuan!"

After shouting, they quickly turned their heads away, as if afraid of being offended by looking at each other again.

The voice, filled with gritted teeth and murderous intent, left Xu Mo speechless.

Then the two tilted their heads and looked at him expectantly, asking, "How is it? How is it? Don't we look very harmonious and loving, like the kind of brothers who would go through thick and thin together?"

Xu Mo's lips twitched, and he vigorously wiped his forehead. "Seriously?"
He was speechless. You two are old people who have lived for countless years. You should be very knowledgeable, so why don't you have any sense at all?
You call this loving each other to the point of life and death? Isn't this just wishing you could skin the other person alive and eat them up?

He then shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything too harsh, afraid of discouraging them. He simply commented, "Completely not."

The two men were slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then they said with puzzled expressions, "How could that be? Our disciples all said it was fine before."

"Huh?" Xu Mo was speechless for a moment, then said, "Which of your disciples said that? Let him come in and take a look. Isn't this just blatant lying? It's completely irresponsible."

Upon seeing this, the two immediately used telepathy to call out to their respective disciples.

Immediately afterwards, two groups of figures flew in from the sky, and at a glance, there were hundreds of people.

What puzzled Xu Mo was that their flying posture was a bit strange; their bodies were forward, but their heads were turned to the side, staring at the person opposite them.

Once they flew closer, Xu Mo saw the expressions on their faces. Each of them had fierce eyes and murderous intent, as if they wished they could chop the other person to pieces.

Seeing this scene, Xu Mo's lips twitched slightly. Seeing them like this, an image flashed in his mind: a group of mad dogs barking and howling before a fight.

However, to Xu Mo's surprise, after seeing the scene of their disciples getting along, the Sect Master of Tianxuan Sect and Venerable Haoran said with a look of satisfaction, "It seems that everyone is getting along very well. They look quite friendly and harmonious."

"Indeed, it seems they have taken our words to heart. Good, seeing them like this, I am very pleased."

Xu Mo was dumbfounded by these words. "No way, are you two blind? You call this harmony?"
Just as he was complaining, he heard Venerable Haoran say with a proud look, "It seems that I have taught them well, and our disciples are quite restrained."

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of Tianxuan Sect immediately retorted, "Nonsense, it's obvious that it's our disciples who are more restrained."

But as soon as they finished speaking, they seemed to remember something, and quickly put on disgusted expressions and flattered, "Ah no no no, I misspoke just now. When it comes to teaching disciples, you are naturally more capable, Brother Xuan. I admire you greatly and it seems I have a lot to learn from you."

"No, no, no, Brother Ran, you're not wrong. I misspoke. The disciples of your Haoran Sect are all upright and have the world in their hearts. They are all truly upright people. I still have a lot to learn from you in this regard."

The two men's stiff and exaggerated flattery gave Xu Mo goosebumps.

He was genuinely curious how these two could utter such "friendly" words while wearing such disgusting expressions.

The two then asked their respective disciples, "Didn't you say we got along very well, like real brothers? How come this young friend says we're completely incompatible? Are you lying to us?"

Upon hearing this, many disciples immediately protested, "We're not lying to you! The sect leaders look exactly like the closest of brothers right now."

"That's right, how could we possibly lie to you, Sect Master?"

"Of course it's harmonious, this is all thanks to our sect leader."

"Nonsense, it is clearly our sect leader's achievement."

After a moment, "Ah, no, it's your sect leader's achievement. Our sect leader is still a little lacking."

"No, no, no, it must be your sect leader's doing."

"Ah, this..." Hearing their words, Xu Mo slapped his forehead and shook his head speechlessly.

Goodness, they even talk the same way! It's true what they say, like attracts like!
He then couldn't help but complain, "Wait, how do you guys know they look like brothers?"

Upon hearing his words, the group of people replied matter-of-factly, "No, young friend, are you alright? Don't the two sect leaders look like brothers?"

"That's right. The fact that the two sect leaders can stand together harmoniously without tearing each other apart is obviously because they are brothers. I really can't think of any other reason." "Exactly, that's what I think too. It's really strange that they can restrain themselves from attacking each other. I think that all the talk about uniting against a common enemy is fake. In fact, the two sect leaders suddenly realized that they are long-lost brothers, and the previous hatred was all a misunderstanding. That's why they came up with this excuse."

"Hey, hey, that's right, that's exactly it. Actually, that's what I think too. Otherwise, it's really hard to explain the changes between them."

"There is no doubt about that; the two sect leaders are definitely brothers."

"Ah, this..." Xu Mo was speechless after hearing their words.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that what they said actually made a lot of sense.

If I was only evaluating them from an objective, bystander's perspective, then their performance was definitely substandard.

But if it were someone else who knew their story and the hatred between them, seeing the two of them standing quietly together without attacking each other, they would definitely be shocked and exclaim, "Holy crap, what a miracle! Could these two be brothers?"

Thinking of this, Xu Mo nodded thoughtfully, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to everyone and said, "I misjudged before. Now that I think about it carefully, the two seniors' performance was quite good. They really are like brothers, just as everyone said."

He then said to the Heavenly Profound Sect Master and Venerable Haoran, “Seniors, that’s enough. You can go out like this and then call on more people to join the ‘Ancient World United as One Family Alliance’.”

Upon hearing this, the two were overjoyed. "Really?"

Xu Mo nodded, replying with unusual firmness, "Really!"

The two men burst into laughter, then turned slightly to look at each other. When their faces came into view, their smiles froze, followed by a flash of murderous intent in their eyes. They gritted their teeth, suppressing their rage, and spoke in a fierce tone:

"Ran-ge, it seems we really are like brothers. I wish you a long and healthy life!"

"Haha, thank you, Brother Xuan. I'm very happy. I also wish you a long and healthy life."

Hearing their words, Xu Mo felt a little embarrassed and thought to himself with a touch of helplessness, "You two are ancient elders who have lived for tens of thousands of years, and you're quite humorous."

However, he didn't want to get involved anymore. He figured they would get used to each other over time and naturally let go of their hatred, or at least hide it.

Next, Xu Mo continued to study in the Tianxuan Sect's Scripture Pavilion, while the sect leader, Venerable Haoran, and the others went to establish their "Ancient World United as One Family Alliance" with great enthusiasm.

Several months later, Xu Mo emerged from the Sutra Pavilion and was immediately startled by the scene before him.

Throughout the entire Tianxuan Sect, small groups of people could be seen in every corner.

Their eyes were fierce, their faces filled with murderous intent, as if they wanted to devour the person in front of them, yet they uttered incredibly sweet, intimate, and cloying words:

"Sister Ling'er, you look so beautiful today, especially that dress. It suits you so well, you look like a fairy."

"Oh, thank you for the compliment, Miao'er. I've been wearing this dress for hundreds of years and have never changed it. Are you trying to say that I look as beautiful as a fairy every day?"

"Yes, Miao'er just wanted to say that Sister Ling'er is as beautiful as a fairy every day." As she spoke, she turned her head away and muttered under her breath, "Dressed so provocatively, she's trying to seduce men, ptooey, slut."

"Huh? What did you say, Miao'er? I didn't hear you clearly."

"It's nothing, Miao'er just wanted to say that her older sister is beautiful."

"Hehehe, little Miao'er is very pretty too. I like you very much."

……

"Brother Wang, did you enjoy your meal today?"

"Hmm, very good. Brother Zhang, how about you? Have you eaten?"

"Have you eaten? Brother Wang, have you had any wine today?"

"No."

"Would you like something to drink?"

"Drink some."

Then the two of them each held a jug of wine, glaring fiercely at each other, as if they were treating the wine in their hands as if it were the other person. After taking a swig, they would chew it a few times.

Such scenes were everywhere, extremely awkward and inexplicable, leaving Xu Mo completely bewildered, thinking he was under an illusion.

He later learned, upon questioning, that it was actually a strategy employed by the Heavenly Profound Sect Master and Venerable Haoran.

They each sent half of their disciples to the other sect, asking everyone to get used to each other's company and treat each other as a real family.

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo initially felt quite awkward and amused, but he still treated it as a source of amusement and enthusiastically watched their performances every day.

But as time went by and he saw more, he felt a strange sadness in his heart.

He sees everyone's clumsy performances every day, so exaggerated and fake that anyone with eyes can tell they're acting.

What harmony? They're clearly enemies.

Even so, they still tried their best to put on a show, even though their enemy was right in front of them and they wished they could kill him with their own hands.

But they suppressed their murderous intent and tried their best to appear harmonious and friendly.

Even though her performances were clumsy and awkward every day, because the hatred couldn't fade and even deepened, she still tried her best to restrain herself.

It's not for any other reason than to set a good example, to show others, especially to the ignorant newcomers and those who have just been born and do not yet know what hatred is.

We'll fabricate a lie for them, telling them there's no hatred in the world, that everything is beautiful, so that the new generation can forget hatred and experience the beauty of the world in their fabricated dream.

This will establish a completely new, harmonious, and loving world.
