"Why?" After a long silence, Chen Xuan asked this question almost tremblingly.

Li Xia took a deep breath and said softly: "Because, there is someone more suitable than me."

"who?"

"Jiang Xiyan."

Hearing this name, Chen Xuan was slightly startled, "Jiang Xiyan is indeed very good, but with her strength, she is still far from a super-level demon-slayer."

"Now in the entire Linghai City, the person who has the most hope of becoming a super demon slayer is you."

"Jiang Xiyan, you don't have this potential."

"It doesn't matter whether she has potential or not." Li Xia took over the words: "What matters is that the world believes that she has potential."

"What's the meaning?"

"Has Mr. Chen heard about what happened at the West City Gate last night?" Li Xia suddenly said.

Chen Xuan nodded and said, "Well, I heard that Jiang Xiyan performed well yesterday and turned the tide."

"But Qiu Yue told me that the strength Jiang Xiyan showed yesterday was not at her normal level."

As he spoke, Chen Xuan seemed to realize something and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Li Xia.

"It's you?"

Li Xia didn't respond, so he acquiesced.

"But, why?" Chen Xuan asked next.

Li Xia sighed lightly and murmured: "Because of my identity, I am not suitable to be exposed to others."

"You mean, about the secret building?"

Li Xia was stunned and said in surprise: "How come you even know this?!"

Chen Xuan chuckled and said, "I already knew it when you came back from Changming Mountain."

"The dagger you carry with you is Yang Fei's sword."

"That is not an ordinary dagger, it is the symbol of the leader of the dark building."

"Although the Dark Tower is independent, in the final analysis, it is also part of the Demon Slayer Tower."

"As the owner of the Demon-Slaying Building, I know these things and it's natural for me to do so."

Li Xia was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said: "Forget about this..."

"Actually, if it weren't for that sword, I wouldn't pay so much attention to you."

"After all, you are the successor chosen by Lao Yang. I just want to see what kind of person you are."

"Then did you see it?" Li Xia asked curiously.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly and said: "It turns out that Lao Yang's eyes have always been vicious."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Li Xia said modestly.

After finishing speaking, he changed the subject and continued: "Actually, this is just one of the reasons."

Chen Xuan frowned slightly and said, "Do you have other identities besides the leader of the dark building?"

Li Xia thought for a moment and murmured: "Another identity..."

"Does it count as an ordinary person?"

When Chen Xuan heard this, his expression was complicated.

A person who has the potential to become a super demon slayer actually regards himself as an ordinary person.

At this moment, the expectation in Chen Xuan's eyes disappeared.

Instead, there was helplessness and sadness.

"So, this is your reason?" After a long silence, Chen Xuan suddenly spoke.

"If I guess correctly, you were the one who killed Gu Zhenyu in Changming Mountain, right?"

Seeing that Li Xia didn't respond, Chen Xuan continued: "It was you who helped Jiang Xiyan slay the monster last night."

"Because you just want to be an ordinary person, you refuse all honors."

"Including the mask on your face, it's also to hide your identity, right?"

Li Xia nodded, "I know it's hard for you to understand, but..."

"I understand." Before Li Xia could finish speaking, Chen Xuan took over and said, "Why don't I want to be an ordinary person?"

"Working an ordinary job, living an ordinary life, just like everyone else outside this building."

"You don't have to worry about when the monsters will invade, you don't have to worry about how to deploy your tactics, you don't have to worry about the safety of the city and stay up all night..."

As he spoke, a longing smile appeared on Chen Xuan's face unconsciously.

But soon, the smile turned into worry.

"But, if people like you and me choose to live an ordinary life."

"Then who will protect this city?"

"Who will protect those ordinary people you talk about?"

After a pause, Chen Xuan continued: "Do you still remember what I said to you by the lake that day?"

"I remember, but..."

"Since you remember it, don't you have any feelings?" Chen Xuan interrupted the conversation again.

"Yes, so..."

"So you still decide to be an ordinary person?!"

Chen Xuan became angrier as he spoke, and there was already a hint of punishment in his tone.

"do you know…"

"Mr. Chen, please listen to me first."

Li Xia couldn't hold it in any longer and interrupted Chen Xuan's anger, explaining: "I didn't mean that!"

"Then what do you mean?!"

"What I mean by that is that because of my identity, the Dinghai Divine Needle in Linghai City cannot be me!" Li Xia said categorically: "But I can do my best to protect Linghai City!"

When Chen Xuan heard the words, he didn't respond for a long time. He moved his hands up and down, trying to figure out the meaning of Li Xia's words.

Finally, after several attempts, he had a clue!

"I see."

"What you mean is that you will take action, but the world cannot know that it was you who took action."

"And Linghai City now needs someone who can stand on the stage to stabilize people's hearts."

"And this person is Jiang Xiyan!"

"Is that what you mean?"

Li Xia let out a long sigh of relief and nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Chen Xuan said angrily.

Li Xia was speechless.

Did you give me a chance to say it?!

After understanding Li Xia's intentions, Chen Xuan's mood obviously improved a lot.

"That's right! Let me tell you, you must be a responsible and responsible person!"

"Don't worry, I will cooperate with you!"

Li Xia sighed lightly, but the expression on his face remained solemn, "I will take action, but now, even if I try my best, I will never be Liu Qingfeng's opponent."

"That's not necessarily the case." Chen Xuan said confidently: "Don't forget, you have understood the Lingxu!"

"As far as I know, Liu Qingfeng did not understand Lingxu back then."

Speaking of Lingxu, Li Xia suddenly remembered something important and hesitated: "Well, my Lingxu seems to be unable to unfold..."

"What?!"

Hearing these words, Chen Xuan's eyes went straight as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Why?!"

Li Xia shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know either."

"I tried to expand the spirit ruins when I was in the black market, but it didn't work."

"It shouldn't be..." Chen Xuan murmured, "When you unfolded the spirit ruins, did your body change anything?"

"No." Li Xia shook his head and said, "It's just that mark in my mind, which is always dim."

"Mark?!" Chen Xuan looked confused, "What mark?"

Li Xia was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly raised his hand and gestured back and forth in the air, trying to outline the shape of the mark.

"Stop making random gestures!" Chen Xuan said anxiously: "Draw it down!"

After that, he got some pen and paper for Li Xia.

Li Xia took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. The pattern of the imprint in his mind gradually became clearer.

Then, pick up the pen and sketch on the paper.

As the pattern became more and more complete, Chen Xuan's expression became more and more solemn.

Finally, after Li Xia finished the last stroke, Chen Xuan suddenly slapped himself on the forehead.
Chapter completed!
