Surveying the room, Xin Yun first turned his gaze to Yi Luo and said in a deep voice, "After taking charge of the Taiji Diagram, you'll be the brain of the gang. All problems will be brought to you for arrangement and execution, similarly... the issues from below will also be reported to you for overall planning."

"Ah!" Yi Luo Xiang exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Xin Yun's words and shook her head vigorously, "No, no, no... How can this be? I'm still young, I don't understand anything, I can't do this..."

Seeing the panic-stricken Yi Luo Xiang, Xin Yun said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. Nobody is born suited for all things. I have confidence in you. You are definitely the best candidate for this position!"

Listening to Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang still looked lost. All this time... she had been following Xin Yun or quietly attending classes in the academy. She had barely faced the outside world's challenges and now suddenly being asked to take on such an important role, it was natural for her to feel incredibly uncertain.

Gently pressing on Yi Luo Xiang's shoulders, Xin Yun said earnestly, "Don't be afraid. Let's give it a try, shall we? Whether it works or not can only be known after we've tried, right?"

"But..." Yi Luo Xiang looked at Xin Yun nervously and said hesitantly, "What if I don't handle it well? That could lead to a great loss."

Glancing at Yi Luo Xiang, Xin Yun said with a wry smile, "If it doesn't work out, then it doesn't work out. Who's going to blame you? Me? Yan Qingying? Or Ming Xuan?"

Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang quickly realized that whatever the future of the gang might be, one thing was certain - the four people present were the core of the gang. No matter how big the Axe Gang became, these four were the core.

Seeing Yi Luo Xiang as if she had an epiphany, Xin Yun said with a smile, "There's no right or wrong in this. We're just gathered together, trying to make our way, to see if we can carve out a place for ourselves. There's nothing right or wrong in that. Whatever we stand firm on is right, and whatever we oppose is wrong. So what are you still worried about?"

Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, Yan Qingying spoke, "Yeah, even if you're wrong, who here is going to blame you? We just want to achieve something together, rejoice in success, and not despair in failure. If we don't try, how will we ever know if we're suited for this or what the future might hold?"

"Hmm..." Locking eyes with everyone, Ming Xuan joined the conversation, "If we talk about failure, don't mention you guys; even if I searched the whole world, there probably aren't many who have failed more than me. So... I have the most say when it comes to failure."

Yi Luo Xiang's expression gradually calmed down. Yeah... What's there to fear if she's wrong? Who can guarantee they'll never make a mistake in life? As long as one is willing to learn from it, to draw lessons from failure, success will eventually come. Ming Xuan is the best example, isn't he?

Thinking it over, Yi Luo Xiang bit her lip and said firmly, "Alright, I'll take on this task. But... what exactly should I do? How should I do it!"

"This..." Scratching his head in hesitation, Xin Yun said with a bitter smile, "For now, you can start by recording everyone's contributions. Things are quite quiet at the moment and there's not much going on in the gang. Once there is, you'll know what to do." Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

As he said this, Xin Yun paused briefly, then looked at Yi Luo Xiang earnestly and said, "Listen to me, in the future, the gang's resources will be concentrated in your hands. No one can tell you how to do it, only you will tell others how to do it, understand what I mean?"

"Ah!" Yi Luo Xiang was momentarily startled by Xin Yun's words, but she quickly grasped the idea. Xin Yun was showing complete trust in her, consolidating all the power in her hands. No one could tell her how to do things; they could only tell her what to do. Her task was to integrate the gang's resources and complete the tasks assigned to her.

A strategist, perhaps? Or rather, the brain of the faction, the center for problem-solving might be more fitting. While the power is substantial, the burden is also extremely heavy, leaving no room for the slightest negligence.

Moreover, this position not only requires an absolutely trusted person to take on but, more importantly, that person must possess profound wisdom; otherwise, the faction would surely descend into chaos!

Faced with challenges, Yi Luo Xiang would not shrink back. Her earlier refusal was solely out of concern that she might handle things poorly and hinder Xin Yun's affairs. But now, Yi Luo Xiang realized that among the four people in the room, only they could assume this role.

Xin Yun was not suitable; he was the leader, and could not be entangled in trivial matters every day. The development of the faction was his focus, and as the leader, he could not afford to fall behind in his cultivation either.

Yan Qingying was also unsuitable. Although her wisdom was high, she excelled in small-scale strategies. If this were compared to a game of chess, Yi Luo Xiang's specialty was overall strategy, while Yan Qingying was an expert in local tactics.

Using Chinese Chess as an example, Yi Luo Xiang was proficient in laying out strategies from the onset, interlocking moves leading to the final checkmate. From beginning to end, grand strategy was her forte.

Yan Qingying, on the other hand, was not adept at grand strategy. If she were to play from the start, she would certainly not be a match for Yi Luo Xiang. However, in an endgame scenario, the story was different. Qingying, a master of local tactical calculations, would undoubtedly be a formidable endgame player, capable of confounding any opponent with her astonishing and unthinkable variations!

In military terms, if Yi Luo Xiang was suited for the role of commander, then Yan Qingying was fit for the role of a field general. Therefore... Yan Qingying was not the right fit for this position, and it would be pointless to force her into it.

As for Ming Xuan, that was even less likely. Accustomed to solitude, he embodied the spirit of a lone hero—free and unrestrained. He bore a strong resemblance to Zhao Zilong of the Changshan region. Commanding an army might not be his forte, but fighting alone, he could surge in and out of an army of hundred thousand!

If the three were to be placed within the context of the Three Kingdoms, Yi Luo Xiang would be Zhuge Liang, Yan Qingying would be Gao Shun, and Ming Xuan would be Zhao Yun. Although Zhao Yun was also highly intelligent, swapping places with Zhuge Liang, he would likely accomplish nothing. Only as a lone warrior could he unleash all his might!

Trust was not an issue among the four, so loyalty did not need to be questioned. Therefore... the deciding factor for their respective roles was their strengths. After a moment's thought, it was clear that Yi Luo Xiang was irreplaceable as the strategist. Even if she didn't do well, she was the only choice, as the other three were unsuitable, and this position of great power could not be entrusted to an outsider.

With this in mind, Yi Luo Xiang took a deep breath and resolutely said, "Alright, if that's the case, then I will take on the role. I don't know if I can do well, but I will definitely try my best to do so."

Smiling and nodding, Xin Yun breathed a sigh of relief. He then turned his gaze towards Yan Qingying. Facing Xin Yun's gaze, Qingying immediately straightened up, feeling a sudden surge of tension as she quietly speculated what role Xin Yun would assign her.

By now, none could be considered children anymore. Having endured so much hardship, they were far more mature than their peers. Although they were only fifteen, seventeen, and nineteen years old, their mental ages were all around twenty-four or twenty-five, perhaps even older. Therefore... each held ideals or dreams within their hearts!

Striving in the martial world, achieving great deeds—this was a desire shared by all, with hardly anyone wishing for a life of mediocrity. If one couldn't make their life extraordinary, wouldn't it be a wasted existence!(To be continued—For the continuation of this story, please visit .
