With that said, Qiu Baihong pushed open the door and left. Eighth Qiu stood in his spot as his lips trembled. He wished to say something, but he was at a loss for words.
Fangzheng sighed when he saw this. Eighth Qiu's emotional intelligence was ultimately too low. If Qiu Baihong really didn't care about this family, she could have gotten married directly. Why would she come to inform him? Since she was here, she still wished to obtain something from home, such as blessings.
Unfortunately, Eighth Qiu didn't say anything. Fangzheng could even imagine the moment Qiu Baihong turned around. Her hopeful eyes would turn cold as her footsteps gradually faded away. Finally, it would turn into boundless rage! Eighth Qiu had ultimately missed the last chance to close the relationship between father and daughter.
Qiu Baihong had gotten married, but she had rejected Eighth Qiu's arrival. Without Eighth Qiu, the wedding was destined to be a strange one. The only guests present were the groom's family and some villagers. However, no one knew what they should say during the awkward wedding. Blessings? Blessings were useless in a wedding without parents! Furthermore, the wedding was clearly a farce, a farce of a daughter infuriating her father! Yet, this farce had become real …
Qiu Baihong didn't know that Eighth Qiu had come to the wedding. He had put on makeup and borrowed a set of clothes to hide in a corner, not daring to raise his head. When the emcee shouted for the parents to kneel, Eighth Qiu finally looked up. He yearned to walk up and accept the bow, but unfortunately …
After the wedding, Qiu Baihong left the Qiu family, but Eighth Qiu couldn't let her go. He knew his daughter best. Her personality easily caused trouble outside. Therefore, he often found reasons to visit Qiu Baihong. For example, he would give her some money or chickens … This was the only way he could think of to not be chased out by Qiu Baihong while still being able to see her.
Upon seeing this, Fangzheng finally understood the reason for Eighth Qiu's abnormal actions. It was also out of love, but it wasn't because he was biased. Instead, it was purely to see if the other party's life was good or not!
However, there was a problem with this gift. Qiu Baihong seemed to treat Eighth Qiu's actions as atonement for her sins. And with one person rushing to atone for her sins while the other was filled with resentment, this atonement became a silent transaction that was destined to have no outcome. One side was a silent coward, and the other side was a silent acceptance. The moment they accepted, they were even, drawing a clear line between them.
"Master, this … their relationship is very strange," Red Boy said.
Fangzheng ruffled Red Boy's head and sighed. "There's a saying that there's no pain that time can't heal. If Eighth Qiu hadn't done anything back then and had even revealed the truth, perhaps the outcome would have been better. However, he chose to hide it. His so-called care and gifts became an endless cycle of opening scars and rubbing salt in the wound. He doesn't know the consequences of his actions … "
Red Boy smacked his lips and said, "So complicated …"
Fangzheng nodded. "My master once said that the reason why the world of mortals is called the world of mortals isn't because it's a world of debauchery and debauchery, but because it blinds everyone's eyes. They can't see the world clearly, nor can they see each other clearly, much less themselves! If they couldn't see clearly, there would be misunderstandings, and when there were too many misunderstandings, it would become conflicts and even hatred. From then on, the cycle repeated itself … the people's grievances, the people's blood dyed this surging red world of mortals! Therefore, the world of mortals is hell. It's best not to enter it if possible! It's better to stay out of the world deep in the mountains and polish your eyes. You can use a third party's perspective to look back at the world as a bystander. In fact, many conflicts can be resolved with a single sentence. At the instant the conflict begins, as long as you explain it clearly and thoroughly, everything will be fine. "
Red Boy scratched his head. "That's not what my father said."
"Oh? What did he say? " Fangzheng subconsciously asked, but he regretted it the moment he asked. As a great demon king, what good could Bull Demon King teach? If he could teach something good, Red Boy wouldn't have to be such a brat! Even Guan Yin Bodhisattva had kicked him to Fangzheng to teach him …
"My father said that it doesn't matter what kind of nonsense it is. As long as you have strength, you can smack anything that makes you unhappy to death with a single slap! A true man should walk forward with his head held high. Don't look back. What's done is done. There's nothing to regret! Just move forward bravely! "Red Boy said.
Fangzheng knew that this would be the outcome. What he said sounded right. In fact, if a person could really go that far, they would truly be carefree and carefree their entire life. However, this carefree and carefree life required powerful strength to support it. Otherwise, the outcome would be …
Fangzheng stroked Red Boy's head. "How's your father doing now?"
Red Boy was taken aback. "Uh, he became a Buddhist. He's the same as me. Although he has a Buddhist Throne, he's no different from a nobody."
Fangzheng said indifferently, "The outcome of your father's theory has already been decided. Do you still think it's right?"
Red Boy was left speechless.
Fangzheng continued. "Your father said it in a magnanimous manner, but he long knew that he had stepped onto a path of no return. Otherwise, why would he not want a child? Why would he throw her to a remote mountainous area? Why would he fool around with a vixen when he had a wife? Your father used such a method to protect everything he cared about. Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. Your family ultimately failed to escape his schemes. "
Upon hearing that, Red Boy fell silent. He whispered, "Master, what will happen to my parents?"
Fangzheng shook his head. "What can they do? In the future, be at ease and be an idle king. It's impossible for you to occupy a mountain and make yourself king, capturing a bunch of women to be your child brides. "
Fangzheng didn't pity Bull Demon King at all. Just from Red Boy's occasional words, Fangzheng knew that Bull Demon King wasn't a good person. If he were to continue wandering around outside, he would definitely bring harm to countless people! Taking him in would definitely be a meritorious deed.
With the two changing the topic, the world around them began to collapse. Fangzheng knew that Eighth Qiu was about to wake up! Therefore, Fangzheng dispelled his divine powers and retreated.
Indeed, the moment Fangzheng came out, Eighth Qiu slowly opened his eyes. The moment he opened his mouth, he said, "I went out on my own. It had nothing to do with the child …"
Upon hearing that, Fangzheng felt his heart wince. Although Qiu Baihong wasn't Eighth Qiu's biological daughter, she was still someone he had painstakingly raised. She was no different from his biological daughter. As a father, he might not be up to standard when it came to education, but he definitely scored full marks when it came to love! This cry left Fangzheng feeling sore as his eyes turned red.
"Master, what do we do next?" Red Boy was somewhat dumbfounded. The situation was far more complicated than he had imagined.
