Reputation

And Xu Shu is different from Xu Bailong in this regard. 

In all of his life, he lost more than he won. 

But each lost teaches him something and because of that he knows the people of the world, he knows the world and not forget the people, he sees the forest, but he also sees the leaves, he sees the horizon but did not forget the ground he is standing in

He is stable, and Xu Bailong is flamboyant. 

He is cautious and prudent, Xu Bailong take risk. 

"That is why I blame you" Xu Shu thought to himself, close his eyes and sigh for a moment

"Xu Bailong is truly an outstanding talent. Whoever gets him would get the world. But for someone to get the world, the world first has to be in chaos." 

Xu Shu knows the current affairs of men and he studied the History of Xun and Rise of Yan, the Rise and Fall of Empire and many other books

But books is not alive.
