After leaving the Happiness Village, Cheng Yu brought Han Yaowu to the other villages to take a look. All of them were like the villagers of the Happiness Village. Everyone was overjoyed at their arrival and warmly welcomed them.
Seeing that they were now able to live a stable life, he felt relieved.
After all, the war had started because of him. Even if he couldn't help all the people who had been displaced by the war, at least seeing so many people living a stable life again made him feel much better.
Everyone had their own fate. There were so many refugees in the world. Even if all the refugees knew that Cheng Yu was benevolent and all of them came here, it was impossible for him to settle so many people.
Therefore, it was not only fate that these people were able to come to the Cheng family, but also their own fate.
It was destined that they should accept Cheng Yu's help.
Patriarch, I heard that the war is getting closer and closer to us. I wonder if they will come to our place? On the way back, Han Yaowu said worriedly.
Now that the world was in chaos, even if they weren't affected by the war, they knew that the outside world was already in chaos.
Moreover, there were so many people coming and going from the Cheng family every day, especially those who were doing missions. They could always bring back some news from outside.
Therefore, not to mention a high-ranking Cheng family elder like him, even the citizens of the various cities of the Cheng family could more or less hear some of the news.
If they really do come, what do you think we should do? Cheng Yu asked indifferently.
Compared to Han Yaowu and the others, Cheng Yu's understanding of the world's current situation was completely different.
Regardless of whether it was the first-hand information obtained from the Outer Kings who had participated in the war, the news from Bai Li and the other Immortal Bone Warriors, or the mysterious team of spies that he had sent out.
The information he had obtained was definitely the most original and accurate.
Therefore, although he had always been in the Cheng family, he knew the world's situation like the back of his hand.
Of course it's to protect the Cheng family and chase away or kill these people who want to harm our Cheng family's interests. Han Yaowu said as a matter of course.
But if these enemies are very strong, if we want to chase them away, our Cheng family will have to pay a heavy price, and even sacrifice many Cheng family disciples? Cheng Yu continued to ask.
"No matter how powerful the enemy is, even if we have to sacrifice ourselves for the safety of the Cheng Clan, I believe that the disciples of the Cheng Clan will not cower or fear," Han Yaowu said without hesitation.
"What if you are the one who needs to be sacrificed?" Cheng Yu looked at Han Yaowu and asked.
"This … If the Cheng Family really needs me to sacrifice myself, I will definitely not back down!" Han Yaowu clearly did not expect the family head to ask such a question. He paused for a moment before replying.
Cheng Yu smiled and didn't ask anything else.
Looking at the Family Head's back view, Han Yaowu was somewhat baffled. He didn't understand what the Family Head's expression meant. Could it be that the Family Head didn't believe him?
Immediately, he became a little anxious. He chased after the family head and said, "Family head, you can really sacrifice yourself for the Cheng family!"
"Some things don't have an answer, and you don't have to explain or prove anything to me. Perhaps what you're saying is true, and I believe that you have such determination.
But sometimes, people would make different choices in different situations. Therefore, if there is such a day, no matter what choice you make, I can understand you, "Cheng Yu said as he walked.
His words weren't just to brush Han Yaowu off, because he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
What he had experienced was absolutely beyond anyone's imagination.
As for betrayal, he had seen it very clearly.
If it wasn't because of betrayal, he wouldn't even be able to come to this world.
Therefore, he was even more clear that no matter how close a person was to you, there might be a day when they would betray you.
Therefore, with so many disciples in the Cheng Family, if the Cheng Family really faced a life and death situation, would they sacrifice themselves for the Cheng Family without any hesitation?
He wouldn't believe it.
Never underestimate human nature.
However, he didn't deny that there were some absolutely loyal existences among the Cheng Family disciples who were willing to live and die with the Cheng Family.
No matter if it was loyalty or betrayal, he could understand it.
Because he had done this kind of thing quite a few times. For example, he had so many enemies back then, but he used all kinds of methods to make them betray their master.
Not to mention others, just the 20 plus outer dynasties that had already been annexed by his Cheng Family.
Even if some of the outer dynasties were originally loyal to the dynasty, in the end, they still had no choice but to betray the dynasty.
So, were there really people who were absolutely loyal in this world?
Of course there were, but there were very few of them.
At the very least, he had captured so many people, and those who died because of their loyalty were still very few. Most of them still chose to betray him in the end.
Therefore, even though these people had temporarily become his Cheng Family members, would they still betray the Cheng Family and join the enemy?
No one could be sure.
It was precisely because Cheng Yu understood this point that he didn't care whether his subordinates were absolutely loyal or not.
Regardless of whether they were absolutely loyal or not, he had long since left a mark on them.
If these people didn't betray him, then he would continue to treat them well. If they betrayed him one day, then they would be enemies. There was nothing to say.
Han Yaowu was definitely his number one trusted aide in the Cheng Family, and he treated Han Yaowu very well. He believed that he was very clear about this.
Was he loyal?
Naturally, he was loyal, at least for now. Therefore, Cheng Yu wouldn't think too much about it and would always treat him like this.
But would he betray him one day?
Cheng Yu didn't know, and even Han Yaowu himself didn't know.
Because everything right now was just an assumption, and he hadn't really reached that step yet.
On the other hand, if Han Yaowu was caught by the enemy, or if his family was captured by the enemy, or if his life was threatened, or even if he was tempted by huge benefits.
If such a situation really happened to him, perhaps he would not remember what he said today.
It was precisely because of this that although he would repeatedly instill the idea of loyalty in the Cheng Family, he would never force everyone to be loyal to the Cheng Family. That was meaningless.
Because the reason why they didn't betray him was because they didn't get everything the Cheng Family had given them.
However, Cheng Yu would never be soft-hearted towards those who needed to do so.
Just like those spies back then, because they understood the Cheng Family's very important secret, he had to make those people swear a Heavenly Blood Oath.
Although the Heavenly Blood Oath didn't mean that it was 100% safe, he knew that there were basically no people in this world who could undo the Heavenly Blood Oath. Even if there were, it would definitely be an extremely small number.
Therefore, making a Heavenly Blood Oath was the best way for Cheng Yu to feel at ease.
Patriarch, I swear to the heavens that I am absolutely loyal to the Cheng Family and the Patriarch. Even if there really comes a day when I have to choose between death and betrayal, I will definitely choose death and will never betray the Patriarch and the Cheng Family But after hearing Cheng Yu's words, Han Yaowu felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
Because he felt that the Patriarch still didn't believe him, he immediately pointed to the sky and swore.
You're wrong. No matter what, a person should follow their own heart. If you feel that you have a clear conscience, no matter what choice you make, it will be right Cheng Yu shook his head and said.
Patriarch, I don't quite understand! Han Yaowu was stunned, his face full of doubt.
Perhaps only when you truly experience that moment will you understand this principle. As for the current situation in the world, we just need to let nature take its course.
If they really want to attack our Cheng Family, it won't be that simple. All these years of preparation weren't for nothing Cheng Yu did not explain any more to him, because there were some things that were useless no matter how much he said. Only after experiencing it for himself would he be able to understand.
I knew that the Patriarch must have already had a plan. I also believe that as long as the Patriarch is here, how can our Cheng Family reach that day Hearing the Patriarch's words, Han Yaowu immediately felt a lot more at ease.
Regardless of whether or not the Patriarch really believed that he would sacrifice himself for the Cheng Family, he was very clear about his own heart.
Everything he had today was given to him by the Patriarch.
He would definitely not let the Patriarch down.
However, he firmly believed that with the Patriarch around, how could the Cheng Family ever have that day?
As an elder of the Cheng Family, he was very clear that the reason why the Cheng Family was able to have everything they had today was actually because of the existence of the Patriarch.
If it wasn't for the Patriarch creating such good conditions for the Cheng Family, it would have been impossible for the Cheng Family to have its current status and achievements if it was anyone else.
It wasn't just the ability to manage the family, it was even more so in terms of cultivation strength.
The Patriarch alone could fight against thousands of troops and horses. After so many years, they had built the Cheng Family like an iron bucket.
Not to mention whether or not the army outside would attack the Cheng Family, even if they did, he believed that those people wouldn't have the ability to break through the Cheng Family's defenses.
If the Patriarch were to make a move, what kind of army in the world would be able to stop them
Looking at the Patriarch's confidence, he was even more confident.
This was because the Patriarch was the backbone of the Cheng Family, the pillar of the Cheng Family. As long as the Patriarch was here, no matter how terrifying the enemy was, they wouldn't be afraid at all.
In this current world, the Cheng Family's sphere of influence was like a paradise.
No matter how chaotic the outside world was, it wouldn't affect the people here.
In fact, it wasn't just him. Everyone in the Cheng Family's territory was thinking the same thing. They all knew that the world wasn't peaceful right now. There were wars everywhere and refugees were everywhere.
However, they still believed that Cheng Yu could protect them.
