You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?

Chapter 405: Manipulating emotions.

"I......"

Liu Yi stood quietly where he was, his feet as if nailed down, hesitating to move forward.

He lowered his head slightly, his eyes averted and he dared not look people in the eye. His hands kept fiddling with the corners of his clothes, and he seemed a little uneasy.

The words that were difficult to say seemed to be stuck in the throat. They were clearly at the tip of my tongue, but I couldn't spit them out no matter what.

Liu Yuntian looked at Liu Yi's posture and understood what was going on.

He let out a long breath and thought to himself: It looks like Liu Yi must have encountered a difficult problem and didn't know how to deal with it, so he came back to ask me for help.

Although he is not much older than Liu Yi, in his eyes, Liu Yi will always be a child who has not experienced the world.

There are too many things in this world that we are not born with the knowledge of how to deal with. Everyone needs to go through some exploration and learning before finding the right way.

For a while, the two of them just stared at each other silently, and no one spoke first to break the silence.

The air around seemed to become solidified, and the atmosphere became increasingly solemn and depressing.

Finally, Liu Yuntian took the lead in breaking the deadlock and walked straight to the bed.

He reached out and gently lifted one of his knees, then slowly sat down.

After sitting firmly, he looked at Liu Yi with a look full of encouragement.

"Tell me, what problem have you encountered?" Liu Yuntian's voice was low and gentle, with a reassuring power.

Then, he added: "There is no need to feel ashamed or embarrassed about this. No matter who you are, you will face various confusions on the road to growth and need to continue to learn and accumulate experience. This is not something to be ashamed of."

This worked, and Liu Yi slowly recovered from his embarrassment.

"I... my subordinates are incompetent!" Liu Yi said with a bitter face and trembling lips. His face was as pale as paper and his eyes were filled with deep guilt.

"I'm afraid I can't play the role of 'leader' well!" Liu Yi lowered his head, his voice getting lower and lower, as if he didn't even believe he was capable of doing this job.

At this time, Liu Yuntian was sitting on the couch, gently stroking his chin with his right hand, but his eyes never left Liu Yi's body.

"Hmm..." Liu Yuntian frowned slightly and said slowly: "Backing off due to difficulties...is not a good habit."

Although the tone was calm, it contained a subtle hint of criticism.

Hearing this, Liu Yi trembled violently as if he was pricked by a needle, and then buried his head even lower, almost touching the ground.

"Okay, tell me what happened first."

Liu opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment, then finally mustered up the courage to take a small step to the left and came right in front of Liu Yuntian.

However, at this moment his voice was as small as the flapping of mosquito wings, making it difficult to hear clearly.

"I can't manage those independent cultivators... Each of them has their own different ideas and thoughts. It's harder than climbing to the sky to bring everyone together!"

Liu Yi stammered, feeling uneasy.

"Hahahaha!" Suddenly, Liu Yuntian burst into a hearty laughter. The laughter echoed in the room, making the windows buzz.

He stretched out his hand, patted Liu Yi's shoulder vigorously, and said loudly: "So that's why? What's the big deal?"

Liu Yi raised his head and looked at Liu Yuntian in astonishment, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Sheep are like this. If we can easily unite their hearts, then there will be no more class distinctions in the world, right?"

Liu Yuntian smiled and shook his head and continued to explain.

"But it doesn't matter. Now is the time to teach you how to become a qualified leader!"

After saying that, Liu Yuntian patted Liu Yi's shoulder again, his eyes firm and full of trust.

Liu Yi's face instantly became extremely stiff. He widened his eyes, raised his head in shock, and stared straight at Liu Yuntian in front of him.

I was thinking to myself: How to be a leader?

Isn't the position of leader destined from birth?

In Liu Yi's past cognition, the division between classes had long been deeply imprinted in the depths of his soul, like an insurmountable gap.

He always believed that those who could become leaders must have extraordinary talents and the blessing of fate since birth.

However, at this moment, Liu Yuntian actually wanted to teach him how to be a leader.

This sudden change made Liu Yi feel as if he was in a fog. He felt surprised and confused.

He could only nod mechanically like a puppet.

Liu Yuntian narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowly said: "The reason why you are so surprised is that you have been living in a cage woven by lies and deception for a long time."

"This deep-rooted class concept is like a thick fog that completely obscures your originally broad vision and way of thinking, thus limiting your understanding of the true face of the world."

Hearing this, Liu Yi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He began to re-examine the ideas and values ​​he once believed in, and an inexplicable panic and uneasiness gradually surged in his heart.

At this moment, Liu Yuntian paused for a moment and then asked another question: "So, do you know how to control other people's behavior and thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yi raised his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Is it true that as long as we put a sharp blade on the opponent's neck, we can force the opponent to obey our command?"

After saying this, his eyes revealed a hint of uncertainty and confusion.

When Liu Yuntian heard this, he couldn't help but raised his head and burst into laughter.

After laughing, he restrained his expression, looked at Liu Yi seriously and explained: "This approach can certainly be regarded as a means, but have you ever thought deeply about the real reason behind it?"

"Because they are afraid?" Liu Yi replied tentatively in a low voice, with a hint of doubt and uncertainty in his voice.

"That's right!" Liu Yuntian nodded vigorously, as if to emphasize the importance of this answer.

But then he changed the subject: "But that's not entirely true. Do you know why he is afraid?"

Hearing this, Liu was stunned for a moment and his mind went blank.

He really couldn't understand it. Being afraid was just being afraid. Why did he need any special reason?

However, although his mind was full of questions, Liu Yi did not ask questions immediately. Instead, he chose to stare at Liu Yuntian in front of him with an inquiring look, hoping to get more hints or explanations from him.

As if he had seen through Liu Yi's thoughts, Liu Yuntian no longer kept the mystery a secret and directly revealed the answer: "That's because of emotions. Whether it's a human or an animal, as long as it's a living creature with the ability to think, it will inevitably have various emotions."

"And as long as you can control their emotions, you can control their people."
