The confrontation between the two men ended with Xie Jianjia's defeat.
After being caught, Xie Jianjia, who was firmly pinned down on the sofa in the room, was bargaining with Xie Daoyan with her face raised.
"Second uncle, can we discuss it? You see, I am blind now. It would be pitiful if I went back. Why don't you let me stay a little longer?"
"Although my father can sense our location, in a short period of time, I believe you can still hide it."
Xie Jianjia smiled flatteringly at Xie Dao.
Xie Daoyan only gently straightened his clothes.
"What good will this do to me?"
"There is absolutely no need for me to take the risk and hide it from your father for you."
Xie Jianjia's entire aura became decadent, like a large dog that begged its owner to go out to play but was rejected, waving its tail in despair.
"Okay, don't look pitiful. Even if you want to stay, you have to ask Mr. Lin if he is willing to take you in for a while."
Xie Daoyan may still have a trace of love for his niece, but he actually agreed to this request.
Xie Jianjia immediately looked at Lin Ming, who was watching. After the two of them went back and forth, the smiles on their faces were a little forced, and they always felt that they were a little unreliable.
"Of course you can continue to stay here."
Xie Jianjia immediately became stunned and laughed unabashedly.
"Hahahaha, I knew you were reliable. Thank you, brother."
After she finished speaking, she moved closer to Xie Daoyan and whispered to him.
But who among the people in this room does not have excellent hearing?
Lin Ming heard what they said clearly.
"Second uncle, I've pretty much checked the things you asked me to check last time."
"The frequent turmoil in the West is caused by the Holy See. They are becoming more and more restless now and actually want to break the boundaries between the world of ordinary people and warriors."
"The reason why I am like this is because I was caught by them when I was inquiring about information. If Lin Ming hadn't saved me, you would probably have to find those old guys in the Holy See to bring me back."
When Xie Jianjia was talking about business, she had a cold expression on her face, and she had an air of immortality about her.
Lin Ming was very interested in the conversation between the two people and couldn't help but listen.
Xie Daoyan glanced at Lin Ming lightly, then gently patted Xie Jianjia's head and said with a smile.
"It's not something shameful, so there's no need to say it so quietly."
"These things are closely related to Mr. Lin, so it won't be a problem for him to listen to them."
After Xie Jianjia received the instruction, she immediately didn't hide it at all and started complaining in a loud voice.
"Are those people in the Holy See crazy?!"
"They actually want to break the agreement. Aren't they afraid of being attacked by everyone?"
Xie Jianjia didn't quite understand this.
"Have they forgotten how the last person who tried to break the agreement was punished?"
The faint smile that had been hanging on Xie Daoyan's face disappeared without a trace. He squinted his eyes with cold light and slowly counted his fingers.
"Time has passed too long. How could the past agreement restrain a group of ambitious wolves?"
"Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer sources of power in the world, and ordinary people are developing better and better relying on technology. How can those who are used to living a life of privilege and luxury be willing to be left behind by the times?"
"Greed is a sin."
"The Holy See's approach gives them a fair and upright reason."
Xie Daoyan suddenly sighed slowly, as if he was looking at Lin Ming, and also seemed to be looking at the misty void.
"Mr. Lin is also deeply troubled by those people, right?"
"The resources you have in your hands will become the reason for them to constantly attack you."
Lin Ming didn't expect that Xie Daoyan could guess everything. He was shocked, licked his dry lips, and asked seriously.
"Then what does Mr. Xie think I should do?"
"Are you going to abandon the resources you have and live an ignoble existence with your wife and children?"
"No, no, no, I think you misunderstood what I meant."
Xie Daoyan waved his hand calmly.
"I'm just telling you why they are targeting you."
"You are not wrong in this matter. What is wrong are those who cannot control their desires."
"I just want to tell Mr. Lin that the Xie family will be on your side."
Lin Ming looked at Xie Daoyan suspiciously.
"Aren't you tempted? As long as you kill me, the resources in my hands will be leaderless, and you can take advantage of the opportunity to get a piece of the pie."
"Why don't you do this?"
Lin Ming's question was particularly sharp, and there was a vague tendency of tit-for-tat. Even Xie Jianjia frowned in displeasure, but Xie Daoyan, who was sitting aside, still had a casual look on his face.
"Mr. Lin, this is a good question."
"Come, Xie Jianjia, tell Mr. Lin, what is the training of our Xie family?"
Xie Jianjia was stunned for a moment, then stood up upright, with a straight posture and a clear voice.
"Without indifference, there is no clear ambition; without tranquility, there is no way to reach far."
The famous book of commandments written by Mr. Zhuge appeared next to Lin Ming in such a form, leaving him speechless.
"Although not all of us look down on fame and fortune, almost every disciple abides by the ancestral precepts."
"We are different from those forces in the West. They have been accustomed to pursuing a luxurious life, but we have followed a plain life from the beginning."
"If there are disciples in my Xie family who want to change things, we will do our own self-examination and do it ourselves without Mr. Lin's prompting."
When Xie Daoyan narrated all this, Lin Ming was shocked by the calm and indifferent temperament exuding from him.
Obviously they are not just talking about it, but they are actually practicing it from generation to generation.
No wonder Xie Jianjia knows the world but is not sophisticated. They seem to be poor, but they receive the best education from their ancestors.
Lin Ming felt ashamed, but still yearned for it.
He had read those books and seen the children of aristocratic families who were highly praised in history books, such as orchids and jade trees, and the bright moon and clear breeze.
He hopes that his children can also have such character and grace.
Lin Ming, who was unmoved by Xie Jianjia's persuasion at first, began to feel anxious in his heart.
"Does the Xie family still accept disciples?"
Lin Ming unknowingly said what was in his heart.
Xie Jianjia jumped up to him excitedly.
"What? Have you changed your mind?"
Lin Ming was right, but he didn't expect to express his inner feelings, which made him a little embarrassed.
"I think Mr. Xie is charming and charming. If there is a teacher like Mr. Xie, children will be taught very well."
Xie Daoyan smiled.
"Mr. Lin is overly praised. The Xie family also accepts disciples, but not those who are not warriors."
"The little guy lying in the room we passed by before was a pretty good seedling."
"If Mr. Lin is interested, he can discuss it with the child."
"When the time is determined, I will take the child with me when I leave."
