On the way, Fox San tirelessly lectured Lu Bei on the art of holding office. In his opinion, given Lu Bei's cultivation talent, he would sooner or later secure a position in Wu Zhou.
Not necessarily an elder in the Heavenly Sword Sect, nor a senior elder-level position in the Imperial Sect, but something like the Imperial Teacher or Fox Er.
However, before that, Lu Bei had been bustling with too much cheer. Sometimes, Fox San was genuinely terrified from watching him.
Like when he captured Zhan Yue Xian and mortifying the Heavenly Sword Sect once again, giving the Imperial Sect a chance to jack up the price.
No sane person would ever do something like that.
The Imperial Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect were incompatible, and a decisive battle would sooner or later. The Xuanyin Department simply has to stand by and laugh, getting involved would only bring discomfort to themselves.
