Chapter 379 I’m afraid they won’t watch the fun.
Half an hour later, the Liu Mansion seemed exceptionally quiet under the cover of night.
In the central hall of the mansion, Liu Yuntian was sitting quietly. The surroundings were as dark as ink, and not even a candle was lit.
This kind of environment may feel depressing and frightening to ordinary people, but for Liu Yuntian, it is a thinking space that he has long been accustomed to.
In this endless darkness, it seemed as if all external interference was isolated, leaving only his sharp mind running rapidly.
At this moment, in front of the gate of Liu Mansion, four tall giants were standing upright. They were the four brothers of the Mo family.
Since the war subsided, the four brothers have shouldered the responsibility of being door gods, guarding the Liu Mansion day and night.
Suddenly, two respectful calls came from the door: "Old Master!" "Old Master!"
This sound broke the silence of the night and made Liu Yuntian, who had originally closed his eyes and immersed in thought, slowly open his eyes.
I saw Liu Ziqing standing at the door with a hint of hesitation on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he finally stepped into the hall.
"It's so late, why don't you rest yet, father?"
Liu Ziqing asked in return, "Do I still need to rely on sleep to restore my energy like those mortals?"
At this point, Liu Ziqing was immediately furious, pointing at the pitch-black surroundings and shouting, "How shameful it is to be in such a dark place! Could it be that our Liu family is so poor that they can't even afford to buy a few candles?!"
Faced with his father's reprimand, Liu Yuntian couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.
He smiled bitterly in his heart and thought: As expected, no matter which world we are in, parents with deep-rooted feudal ideas always like to use this kind of rhetoric to teach their children.
Even though I have traveled to another world, similar words still appear in my ears.
"I just like it..."
However, before Liu Yuntian could finish his words, Liu Ziqing interrupted him without hesitation and got straight to the point: "If you act like this... will he really believe it?"
Hearing this, Liu Yuntian showed a calm expression on his face, shook his head slightly and said, "It doesn't matter."
"It doesn't matter?" Liu Ziqing couldn't help but frowned and raised his voice to ask again.
He was obviously surprised and dissatisfied with this answer.
Liu Yuntian nodded firmly, indicating that he agreed with what he said.
In fact, Liu Yuntian knew very well what his father was referring to.
It is nothing more than the three-way confrontation in the current court.
With Liu Ziqing's many years of experience and shrewd mind, how could he not see the intention behind his son's plan?
However, he was not only worried about whether this matter would succeed, but he was also afraid that the Heavenly Dao would see through the mystery.
It was for this reason that he could not suppress his inner worries at this moment and came to have a long talk with Liu Yuntian.
"What he cares about is never these power struggles. What he really wants is just a balance between the various forces..." Liu Yuntian spoke slowly, his tone calm.
"If he wants balance, the child will be given to him."
Liu Ziqing nodded slightly, but then raised a new question, "Will he easily believe the superficial balance you created?"
Faced with his father's questioning, Liu Yuntian did not respond immediately.
He raised one hand and gently stroked his chin, his eyes slightly closed, lost in thought.
After a long while, he opened his eyes and said thoughtfully: "I wonder if my father has noticed this situation..."
Having said that, Liu Yuntian paused for a moment and kept the question in suspense.
Seeing that his father was waiting attentively for the next words, Liu Yuntian continued to speak slowly: "From my observation, he seems to lack sufficient understanding of the complexity of human nature."
Hearing this, Liu Ziqing was stunned at first, then nodded as if he suddenly realized something.
It was indeed as his son said. If the other party understood what human nature was, then Liu Yuntian's move would probably become a huge laughing stock.
Liu Yuntian stood up and walked to his father's side, looking at the sky through the eaves, "He is not yet a great man. If he becomes like Daozu Hongjun one day, then there will be no hope."
"And now he is... like an artificial intelligence, only able to operate according to the original program."
"I discovered this when I was jumping back and forth between the six holy places as a traitor."
Liu Ziqing quickly turned around and looked at his son in confusion.
He was already used to his son's love of creating new words, but this time even he had trouble understanding the new words.
"Artificial intelligence? Traitor? What does that mean?"
Liu Yuntian smiled slightly and shook his head. He didn't intend to explain. If he did, there would be a lot to talk about.
"Anyway, I just need to coax him and slowly boil him with warm water. By the time he reacts, I'm afraid my knife will have chopped off his head."
"Haha, if it's that simple, then we would have broken free from his restraints long ago!"
"It's easy to fool him, but do you think your knife is hard enough?"
Liu Ziqing stroked his beard and reminded in a deep voice, "If you want to kill him, you need to gather the strength of everyone in the world, and once you gather the strength, he will instantly balance it and disperse the strength."
"You only have one chance to draw your sword!"
After saying that, he walked to the armchair and sat down on it. "Let's not talk about whether you can condense this knife..."
"First of all, it is very difficult for you to gather the hearts of the people in this world."
"Do you think everyone is like you? They just like to stand by and watch the fun. They long for heroes to appear, and they long for heroes to fall even more!"
"If I remember correctly...you said these words to Wuji."
Liu Yuntian turned to look at his father in surprise, "How did you know?"
At the same time, he began to recall the scene at that time. He remembered that these words were the great truths he told Wuji in front of Lin Ying's grave.
My father wasn't there...
Thinking of this, Liu Yuntian smiled helplessly, "Why did you place spies around me?"
Liu Ziqing's face turned red, and he said unhappily, "As a father, I should know what my son is busy with, right?"
"You didn't tell me and just let me stay at home alone, so I can only figure out a solution on my own."
Liu Yuntian smiled bitterly. He understood that his father just wanted him to rely on him more so that he could have a sense of accomplishment.
"It's good to watch the fun... I'm just afraid they won't watch!"
"As long as the fire is set on them...then they will naturally not be able to bear it anymore."
