Chapter 24 Sitting on the sidelines
At a banquet, everyone had their own thoughts, but Han Wu, the Marquis of Xuanbo, was secretly observing the expressions of these heirs.

Han Jia is about to embark on the path of cultivation with a bright smile on his face.

after all……

Still young at heart!
Even though Marquis Xuanbo has cultivated him meticulously over the years, without the sedimentation of time, Han Jia, with his current shrewdness, is still unable to hide his emotions!
Han Yi, on the other hand, had a blank expression on his face, as if he was traveling outside of the world, and appeared indifferent to everything happening around him.

As for Han Bing...

After all, he was still not steady enough. Before I even opened my mouth, his thoughts were already obvious to me!

In response, Han Wu couldn't help but shook his head.

Although he had never thought of letting Han Bing inherit the title from the beginning, he still couldn't help but feel disappointed with Han Bing's performance.

Difficult to become a master!

This is Han Wu's evaluation of Han Bing after some observation!
As for Han Ding, Han Wu, Han Gui and others, they had already shifted their gaze to Han Bing, with envy, jealousy and resentment on their faces...

Of course, on the surface, they still pretended to be friendly and respectful to each other.

only……

How could their little tricks be hidden from Han Wu, this old fox?

Han Bing was full of anticipation, waiting for Han Wu to speak so as to confirm his status as the heir to the title, but... Han Wu seemed to have deliberately forgotten him and went straight into talking about other topics.

This made everyone else have some thoughts in their minds!
Could it be...

Father is not satisfied with my third brother?

Doesn't that mean that I also have a chance to inherit this title?
After all, rules are dead, but people are alive. Although the king's consent is required to change the successor to the title, the opinion of Han Wu, the contemporary Marquis Xuanbo, cannot be ignored.

There was silence at the dinner table. The family dinner had become very restrained because of the topic of title.

After a long while, Han Wu finally changed the subject and said, "I will explain the situation of the successor to the king when we pay tribute next year!"

His eyes fell on Han Bing.

Afterwards, he scanned Han Ding, Han Wu, Han Ji, Han Xin, Han Gui and others in turn.

It seemed as if these words were not spoken to Han Bing alone, but... to everyone present except Han Jia and Han Yi!

After saying this, Han Wu left his seat, leaving everyone with different thoughts!

……

Everyone left one by one.

Finally, only Han Jia and Han Yi were left at the banquet!

Looking at Han Jia who was so excited, Han Yi couldn't help but say, "I haven't congratulated you yet, big brother, for joining the Chan Sect. I hope that one day, you and I can meet again on the immortal road!"

If nothing unexpected happens, the two of them will definitely meet again.

But then...

I'm afraid things have changed a lot!

Although his eldest brother has joined the Chan Sect, his aptitude is average and his future destiny is just to add a god position to the List of Gods!
Therefore, Han Yi did not regard him as an enemy!
of course……

Never considered him as a brother!
He just wanted to see how their fates would intersect and what trajectories would be created in the future if he lived his life again!
"Haha!" Han Jia laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "Then I'll take your advice, second brother!"

At the beginning, when he saw Han Yi embarking on the path of cultivation, although he didn't say it, he still felt a little jealous in his heart.

But now, as a disciple of Daoxing Tianzun, he believed that his future achievements in the way of immortality would definitely not be lower than those of his half-brother.

Therefore, I am quite enthusiastic about it.

after all……

From now on, immortals and mortals will become strangers, and those former good friends will no longer be creatures of the same level!
It is estimated that only Han Yi in front of him and Xue Li, who became a disciple of Daoxing Tianzun together with him, will have the possibility to communicate and discuss Taoism together in the future.

"By the way, brother, who do you think father will choose to be the heir?" Han Yi changed the subject and looked at Han Jia and said, "I think father seems a little dissatisfied with my third brother!" Han Wu's attitude at the banquet just now has already explained everything.

He believed that with Han Jia's wisdom, he would not fail to see that Han Wu did not want Han Bing to inherit the title.

"That's something father should consider!" Han Jia said with a smile, "Since you and I, brothers, are both destined to be immortals, why should we care about these mundane matters? No matter whether father likes the third brother or not, and who he chooses as the heir in the end, as long as that person is a descendant of my Han family's bloodline... that's enough!"

"Too!"

Han Yi didn't say much, just smiled and said: "I think too much!"

but!

Although he said this, a hint of disdain flashed across his mind.

Because he knew that Han Jia, like Han Wu, was inclined to let Han Gui inherit the title.

In his previous life, before leaving with Daoxing Tianzun, he handed over all his property and a private army to Han Gui.

From the very beginning, they chose Han Gui!
However, in order to make Han Gui's succession to the throne more legitimate, Han Wu used hints to let his other sons plot against each other.

Brothers are at odds!

No matter in which era, it will be criticized and regarded as immoral!

All the mouths of gold, accumulating and destroying bones.

In this era, reputation is taken extremely seriously. Once brothers and sisters kill each other, they will be burdened with endless infamy!
And there is no way the Human King would agree to let such a person inherit the title!

After Han Bing, Han Ding and others lost their moral integrity due to their brothers' schemes against each other, Han Wu, as the Marquis Xuanbo, could legitimately push Han Gui to the position of Marquis Xuanbo's successor.

Fishing law enforcement!

Stand by and watch!

According to this plan, Han Wu only needs to let it go for a while. Han Bing, Han Ding and others will commit fratricide for the title of Marquis Xuanbo, and then he... can stand up and restore order!
In the previous life, Han Yi, as the second son, was pushed to the forefront after Han Jia left with Daoxing Tianzun.

Han Bing and others all regard him as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh!

Why!
We are all bastards, so why can you, Han Yi, inherit the title of Marquis Xuanbo!
Why!
Once human desires break through the cage, they will only grow bigger like a snowball.

The so-called family affection is so fragile in the face of interests!
People are always worried not by scarcity but by inequality, not by poverty but by insecurity. They can share adversity but not wealth; they can eat coarse food together but not glory!
Originally, we were all bastards and had no chance of inheriting the title.

But, if you, Han Yi, suddenly come to power, you will naturally be envied by other brothers!
Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them!
Han Yi looked at Han Bing's seat with a deep gaze, thinking, "In the last life, I was the target! In this life, since I took the initiative to withdraw, it was the third brother who took over! I just don't know if the third brother... can withstand... the care and concern of the other brothers!"

Distant memories churned in his mind, which made Han Yi involuntarily think more.

From the beginning to the end, Han Wu, as the Marquis Xuanbo, never treated these illegitimate sons as his own sons. What he wanted... was just an heir... who could bring him the greatest benefit!
The same is true for the elder brother Han Jia. After becoming Daoxing Tianzun's disciple, he didn't even bother to look at his brothers who grew up with him!
He clearly knew Han Wu's plan, but he acted like an outsider and watched Han Bing and others kill each other.

"It's boring!"

Han Yi said goodbye to Han Jia and returned to his own courtyard, but he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

At this moment, the moon is high in the sky, the stars are shining, and the silvery-white light fills the courtyard.

However, in the mansion of Marquis Xuanbo, undercurrents are surging, and everyone has their own little thoughts!
"I'm afraid no one will be able to sleep tonight!" Han Yi shook his head, and cleared his mind of all the petty affairs in the Marquis' Mansion. He thought to himself, "The life span of ordinary people is no more than a hundred years. Even if they have countless wealth and power, what good is it? After a hundred years, they can only turn into a pile of yellow earth! Dirty things are ultimately inferior and cannot be put on the table! How can... they compare to the magnificent and long-lasting life of the immortals?"

Thinking of this, his heart was filled with heroic spirit. Looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky and the mighty wind, he immediately shook his sleeves and flew up into the air, saying loudly: "The unicorn in the sky is already a species, why should it compete with the sparrows for the sky? When the thunder of the sea and the sky roars, I will transform into Kunpeng and step into the ninth heaven!"

This heroic voice echoed in the night sky and resounded throughout the nine heavens, like a sudden thunderclap, directly dispersing all the depression in his heart!
"I am the one who is obsessed!"

At this moment, he felt that his heart of Tao was extremely clear, as if the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining.

Things that I couldn't understand in the past now become clear.

Since you have the heart of a swan and the ambition of a roc, why should you... compete with sparrows for the low sky?
That will only lower your level!
