Chen Pingping had not killed Xiao En because Xiao En had grasped a secret regarding the Temple. Chen Pingping hoped to go to Northern Qi through Fan Xian to understand this secret. In addition, Xiao En was related to Ye Qingmei, so Chen Pingping hoped to learn more about Ye Qingmei through Fan Xian. In short, Chen Pingping did not kill Xiao En because he wanted to obtain the secrets he knew about the Temple and Ye Qingmei.
Chen Pingping and Xiao En were two characters in Joy of Life. Chen Pingping was the Director of the Overwatch Council of Qing Kingdom, and Xiao En was the head of the Wei Special Forces, equivalent to the Director of the Overwatch Council of Qing Kingdom. The relationship between them could be said to be complicated and eye-catching. From the very beginning, Chen Pingping had made Fan Xian a part of his plan. He had plotted for more than 20 years to make Fan Xian the person in charge of escorting Xiao En back to Northern Qi and make Xiao En misunderstand that Fan Xian was his grandson. Chen Pingping knew that Xiao En was smart. He would not tell him the truth directly. Instead, he would only reveal a little bit of information at a time and let Xiao En guess his grandson's location. Xiao En had been imprisoned by Chen Pingping for 20 years, but Chen Pingping did not kill him. Instead, he asked him the same question every day, hoping to get an answer to a secret from him. Xiao En's son and daughter-in-law had both died in the battle. He no longer had any descendants, so the Qing Emperor and Chen Pingping seized on this point and spread the news that Xiao En's son had befriended a woman from a brothel and was pregnant with his child. Xiao En had been able to survive in the prison of the Inspection Court all because of his longing for his grandson and the little bit of information that Chen Pingping passed to him every day about his so-called grandson. All in all, Chen Pingping and Xiao En had a complicated relationship.
Chen Pingping's reason for capturing Xiao En at all costs was not clearly explained in the search results provided.
The hatred between Xiao En and Chen Pingping stemmed from Xiao En's arrest and imprisonment. Chen Pingping was the Director of the Qing Overwatch Council. He personally led the Black Knights into enemy territory and paid the price of his legs to capture Xiao En alive. He imprisoned him under the Overwatch Council for 20 years. Xiao En was filled with hatred for Chen Pingping and the other related people. He had once said that he wanted Chen Pingping to stay alive until he came out. In addition, the Qing Emperor and Chen Pingping spread the news that Xiao En's son had a relationship with a woman from a brothel and was pregnant with his child. This was to stimulate Xiao En's thoughts and expectations for his grandson. Thus, Xiao En had a deep hatred for Chen Pingping and the Qing Emperor.
Chen Pingping did not really want to kill Fan Xian. Chen Pingping's goal was to protect Fan Xian and help him raise his reputation to help his official career prosper. The reason Chen Pingping had withdrawn from the Black Knights was to prepare for his revenge plan in the future. He wanted to assassinate the Qing Emperor to avenge Ye Qingmei. Chen Pingping knew that the Qing Emperor was the murderer of Ye Qingmei. In order to ensure that Fan Xian would not be harmed, he deliberately distanced himself from Fan Xian. Thus, Chen Pingping did not really want to kill Fan Xian. He was thinking about Fan Xian's future and revenge plan.

Ku He and Xiao En led a group of people to search for the legendary temple under the Emperor's orders. Along the way, countless people died of cold and hunger, and countless people fell to their deaths. In the end, only these two people were left, Ku He and Xiao En. They survived by swallowing the corpses of their own kind. This was Ku He's dark history, and it might affect his glorious image. But more importantly, Ku He had obtained a book from the temple, and his strength had soared to become a great grandmaster. Once Xiao En revealed the location of the Temple, all the powerful people in the world would search for the Temple without stopping.
