Old Patriarch Ye looked at Yeh Lin and said calmly, "What do you think? Tell Grandpa."
Yeh Lin nodded and said, "Grandpa, although I have a good relationship with Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai came to the Void Realm from another realm. If he develops in the Void Realm, what will happen to the people of the Void Realm in the future? So Grandpa, I want to control the Four Righteous Gang's source of income through the puppet business and the wine business. As long as we control the Four Righteous Gang to a certain extent, we can control them forever and make them work for our Ye Family. "
Old Patriarch Ye looked at Yeh Lin for a while before letting out a long breath and said, "Lin 'er, you are the grandson I value the most. Do you know why I value you?"
Yeh Lin was stunned, then he shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Old Patriarch Ye said in a deep voice, "The Cultivation World is ruthless, but it also has feelings. As the Patriarch of a family, you have to have feelings. You have to have feelings for the family, for your relatives, and for your friends. But at the same time, you have to be ruthless. Everyone who affects the development of the family is your enemy. You have to do everything you can to kill them."
Yeh Lin looked at Old Patriarch Ye with some confusion. He understood these principles, but he didn't understand why Old Patriarch Ye told him this.
The Ye Patriarch looked at Yelin and said in a deep voice, "Grandfather values you the most because you are affectionate and righteous. Your relationship with Zhao Hai is very good, and he can be your friend. You didn't look down on him because of his status. He wanted to pull him into the Ye Clan, but then he said that he wanted to do business with you, so you put him on an equal footing. You have always treated him as a friend, which you have done very well. Grandfather likes you the most, because no one can live without friends. If you want to monopolize the world, then the world is your enemy. If you treat others as friends, then they will treat you as a friend. Even if some people don't treat you as a friend, but if you make ten friends, then as long as five or even three of them are your true friends, then you will have profited. But your approach today has disappointed me."
Yeh Lin was stunned, then he looked at the old patriarch with an ashamed expression and said, "Grandpa, I …"
Old Patriarch Ye waved his hand and said to Yeh Lin in a deep voice, "You previously treated Zhao Hai as a friend. When can you see a friend? It's only when you're in trouble. Eating and drinking together on normal days, can that be considered a friend? You want to control Zhao Hai? Were there people who wanted to control their friends? Lin 'er, when Zhao Hai first cooperated with our Ye Clan in the puppet business, he was already on equal footing with us. Yes, he relied on our Ye Clan to help him sell his things, but did he have to worry about selling his things? Even if you stop working with him, do you think others won't work with him? The Ye Family has shares in the Life and Death Arena, but remember, those are only shares. Can you really control the Life and Death Arena? Not to mention you, even if it was the Ye Clan, could they really control the Life and Death Arena? If the Ye Clan wants to control the Life and Death Arena, then it would be an enemy of everyone. The Ye Clan would be digging its own grave. As long as Zhao Hai passes the Life and Death Arena, he would be able to find people to cooperate with him. Would he be afraid of us? "
Yeh Lin was sweating profusely. Old Master Ye looked at Yeh Lin and said in a deep voice, "Do you really think that we, the forces of the Void Realm, want to chase out everyone who isn't from the Void Realm? You're wrong, no one would think that way. The reason why the Void Realm is where it is today is because we can allow people from all realms to come here to do business and communicate. If we don't allow those people to come, then there would be other realms that would let them go. In the end, what's the difference between the Void Realm and the other realms? The reason why the local forces act as if they don't welcome people from other realms is that they want to fight for more benefits for themselves. They want to use this method to make the local forces the biggest force in the Void Realm. This way, the local forces will naturally be able to get a bigger share of the benefits. "
Yeh Lin's expression completely changed. He had always thought that the forces in the Void Realm didn't welcome people from other realms. Now that he heard Old Patriarch Ye's words, he knew that it wasn't the case at all.
Old Patriarch Ye looked at Yeh Lin and said, "You're a businessman, so you should know that all businessmen must understand a principle, that flowing water never rots. You have to make the Jade Essence in your hands move. Only when the Jade Essence moves will it bring more Jade Essence. The reason why people from other realms come to the Void Realm is because the Void Realm is a place where countless realms gather. It can be said that the Void Realm is a place where the Jade Essence is the sea, and the people from other realms are small rivers. They have all seen the vastness of the sea and the fact that the water here will never rot. If they don't come one day, then the Void Realm will become a place where there are no rivers. Is it still a sea without rivers? It's just a pond. No matter how big the pond is, without new water sources, it will dry up sooner or later. "
At this point, Old Patriarch Ye let out a long breath and said, "The Void Realm is the sea, and the other realms are the rivers. The people who come to the Void Realm and the various forces here are the fish in the sea. But the people from other realms are the fish that flowed from the river to the sea. If they can't adapt to the sea, they can return to the river. But we are the fish that were born in the sea. If one day we can't survive in the sea, can we swim to the river? We can't. If we do, we will still die. Therefore, we can't block the river. We just need to be the biggest fish in the sea. "
The Patriarch looked at Yelin and said, "You want the other forces to join forces to deal with Zhao Hai? That's impossible. What is Zhao Hai? Zhao Hai is a fish swimming in the sea. He's very small, but he can help other fish find food. If you don't want to eat the food he finds, then the other fish will eat it. If you don't let the other fish eat, then the other fish will unite and eat you." The Patriarch looked at Yelin and said, "Zhao Hai is a fish that swam into the sea.
Old Patriarch Ye said, "Do you really think that Zhao Hai cooperated with our Ye Family because he had no other way? He just doesn't want the other forces to target him. Our Ye Family is big enough. He just wants to make money together with the Ye Family. Others will only pay attention to our Ye Family and not him. However, he did a good job and gave us a lot of benefits. Our Ye Family can earn a lot of money. Compared to the money we earn, what's the point of being his scapegoat? "
Speaking up to here, Old Patriarch Ye let out a long breath and said, "Even if we pay the price and make everyone not cooperate with Zhao Hai, have you thought about it? Do you think that he opened those cheap pharmacies for nothing? Those cheap pharmacies don't make a lot of money, but they can support a lot of Rogue Cultivators and make those ordinary Rogue Cultivators feel grateful to them. Even if Zhao Hai doesn't cooperate with us, he can still sell those wines to the cheap pharmacies. However, that would attract other people's attention. He doesn't want to get into trouble. Although he's not afraid of trouble, he doesn't want to get into trouble. Therefore, he cooperated with us. He would rather give us a part of the benefits than get into trouble. This is where he's smart. "
Old Patriarch Ye looked at Yeh Lin and said, "Control him? From the moment he cooperated with you, he was on equal footing with you. How can you control him? Lin 'er, you have to remember that there are some people who only accept equal treatment. Anyone who wants to control them will become their enemy. They will do everything in their power to kill their enemies. You can't offend such people. You can be friends with them because only by being friends with them can you get benefits. Endless benefits. Do you understand? "
Yeh Lin was trembling with fear as he said, "Yes, Grandfather. I understand. Emotions and ruthlessness, I understand."
Old Patriarch Ye looked at Yeh Lin and said, "It's good that you understand. If a person is worthy of you treating them as a friend, then don't think about making them your subordinate. This is because you might turn your friend into an enemy. Even if they really become your subordinate, they will still be your enemy. If they stab you in the back, then they will be more terrifying than your real enemy. Therefore, put away your thoughts and don't think about controlling other people, especially those who can become your friends."
Yeh Lin said in a deep voice, "Yes, Grandfather. I understand. I will definitely remember what you said."
Old Patriarch Ye nodded his head and said, "Alright, I'll only tell you this once. How much you comprehend will depend on yourself. If there's a next time, don't even think about the position of Patriarch."
Yeh Lin's body trembled as he nodded. Old Patriarch Ye waved his hand, then Yeh Lin withdrew. Old Patriarch Ye looked at Yeh Lin's appearance and sighed, "I hope you can remember my words. This Zhao Hai isn't simple."
Yeh Lin walked out of Elder Ye's room in a daze. His entire body was drenched in sweat. He didn't expect that his grandfather, who had always been overbearing, would have such a side to him. Therefore, being a good patriarch wasn't just about being heartless.
Yeh Lin had seen how his grandfather governed the Ye Family since he was a child. In his opinion, Ye Tian was too iron-fisted towards the Ye Family. He had reached the realm of being cold-blooded and ruthless. It was precisely because of this that Yeh Lin wanted to learn from Old Ye. He wanted to become more ruthless, and he wanted to control Zhao Hai as well as the Four Righteous Gang.
However, Old Patriarch Ye's words made Yeh Lin break out in cold sweat. If he really wanted to use this method to control Zhao Hai, then Zhao Hai would sooner or later become his enemy. What made Yeh Lin even more afraid was that Zhao Hai would use all kinds of methods to make other people his enemy. When that time comes, not only him, but the entire Ye Family would be in trouble. If the Ye Family really got into trouble because of him, then with his understanding of the Ye Family, he would definitely be executed.
The more he thought about it, the more fearful he felt. A layer of sweat couldn't help but appear on his forehead. After returning to his study room, Yeh Lin sat there quietly. He recalled the scene after meeting Zhao Hai. After a while, he let out a long breath and muttered, "I really drank lard and was blinded by it. Brother Zhao, this is the last time I'll let you down."
After he finished speaking, he let out a long breath. With a flip of his hand, he took out the four jars of wine. He carefully looked at the four jars of wine and muttered, "Brother Zhao, I will definitely make up for my mistakes. Although you don't know about this matter." After he said that, Yeh Lin put all of his attention on the four jugs of wine. He was thinking about how to open up the market for these four jugs of wine.
But what Yeh Lin didn't know was that everything he did was being observed by Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai had already left a trace of liquid silver dust on Yeh Lin's body, so he was naturally aware of Yeh Lin's every move. At this time, Zhao Hai was watching Yeh Lin from the Space. After Yeh Lin finished speaking, Zhao Hai let out a long breath. Then he smiled faintly and said to Laura, "Sure enough, the older the ginger, the spicier it is. Yeh Lin is too far behind. Patriarch Ye is very clear that treating me as a friend is a thousand times better than treating me as an enemy."
Laura snorted and said, "If they really dared to scheme against you, I wouldn't mind tidying them up. But now, I can't deal with them. They're lucky."
At this time, Zhao Hai suddenly smiled faintly. But people who knew him knew that when he smiled, it meant that he was about to kill someone. Just as Zhao Hai smiled, two people suddenly appeared in front of him. They were two dead people. But when they entered the Space, they immediately recovered. The two people stood in front of Zhao Hai and gave a salute to Zhao Hai, "We have seen the Young Master."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Tell me, what's going on? Do you know the people who attacked you? " Zhao Hai knew these two people. In fact, these two were undead from the Space. After they were resurrected, they were sent to the Four Righteous Gang by Zhao Hai. Now, they were working as clerks in the gang's pharmacies. However, the two weren't in Bitter Bar Star, they were in a small town called Heavy Stone Star. They were sent by the Four Righteous Gang and were relatively far away.
The reason why Zhao Hai didn't have any business was because the shop opened by these two people was robbed. If these two didn't turn themselves into undead, then the robbers would have thought that they were dead. Zhao Hai was afraid that these two people would really be a threat.
One shouldn't think that they couldn't die after being resurrected. In fact, they were only resurrected on the surface. If one really wanted to count, then they should still be considered as undead. Their life wasn't determined by their breathing or heartbeat, but by their soul. If their soul was destroyed, then they would still die.
When these two people discovered that their shop was being attacked by cultivators, there were even Teleportation Realm cultivators among them. They knew that if they didn't think of a good way, then they would die. Because of this, they retreated and fought with those people. Then they looked for a suitable opportunity to let the other party hit them. This way, they could play dead openly.
