"You've already killed the person who revealed your whereabouts," Yu Zhenghai denied immediately.
"Eternal life?"
Lu Zhou guessed it was Liu Ge as well.
In this battle with Liu Ge, Liu Ge had revealed quite a bit of information before his death.
He was certain that Ji Tiandao had attempted to reach the Nine-leaf stage before he died. He even had hopes of reaching the Nine-leaf stage. Liu Ge had said that if he could persuade Ji Tiandao once, he could persuade him a second time. If he could not persuade Ji Tiandao, he would kill him.
Yu Zhenghai continued.
"I admit … I had selfish motives, but I won't quibble over it."
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, "Do you want to conquer this empire that badly?"
"Yes!"
"What happens after I get it?" Lu Zhou asked.
Hearing this question.
Yu Zhenghai was silent for a moment.
Night fell, and the sky was gradually dotted with stars.
The surroundings fell into silence.
"I didn't think too much …" Yu Zhenghai said, "We'll talk about it after we get it."
Lu Zhou turned around slowly to face Yu Zhenghai.
He said sincerely, "I remember that when you joined the sect, you were still a teenager. But you're different from others. You've experienced countless trials and tribulations, you understand the suffering of the world, and you can endure what others can't … I remember when you stepped into the Profound Understanding realm, you were ecstatic and arrogant, and you swore to stand at the highest point. "
Upon hearing this, something stirred in Yu Zhenghai.
There were many things that even he could not remember clearly. He did not expect his master to remember.
Perhaps it was because he had experienced too many trials and tribulations, many things were like a pool of stagnant water in his mind, without a single ripple.
"It's my fault for not teaching you properly …" Lu Zhou said.
Yu Zhenghai was taken aback when he heard this.
What kind of person was Master? How could he be the kind of person who would easily admit his mistake?
He fell to one knee and planted his fist on the ground as he said, "I dare not!"
"You call yourself my disciple, but I don't dare to call you master …" Lu Zhou said with a sigh.
"Ding! Disciplined Yu Zhenghai, reward: 200 merit points."
Yu Zhenghai lowered his head, not daring to speak.
Lu Zhou placed his hands on his back and said,
"Perhaps, after some time, you'll be the ruler of Great Yan. At that time, I'll have to kneel and kowtow to you."
Yu Zhenghai shuddered. He fell to his knees as well.
"Why do you say that, Master?!"
"Isn't it?"
Lu Zhou stared at Yu Zhenghai as he raised his voice.
"I have an informant named Jiang Aijian, the Third Prince of Great Yan's Imperial family. With his abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to inherit the throne. Do you know why he stayed away from the royal court and the palace? "
Yu Zhenghao shook his head.
Lu Zhou continued to speak.
"Because he had personally witnessed thousands of people in Jing He Palace die in the sea of fire, including his own mother."
After saying that, he paused for a moment before continuing.
"He could have become the Emperor and held the power of life and death in his hands. He could have avenged the lives of thousands of people in Jinghe Palace. But he … did not do so. He chose a smarter method. "
There was no need to say anything else.
He believed Yu Zhenghai had learned about Jiang Aijian from Si Wuya.
He also believed that the incident at the Obedient Villa had reached his ears.
Yu Zhenghai's voice trembled slightly. "I'm different from him. Master, may I be so bold as to ask you a few questions? "
"Speak."
Yu Zhenghai looked up and met Lu Zhou's gaze. He remembered everything that happened when he was sold to Lou Lan. He remembered how he tried to snatch a steamed bun from the crowd but failed.
"Do you know how it feels to eat nothing but dirt for a month?"
This was a bold question.
When he asked the question, his palms were already sweating, and chills ran down his spine.
However, when he remembered Mingshi Yin's words, he braced himself and continued, "Do you know how it feels to be stepped on and unable to move?"
Since the question had been posed, he would deal with it in one go.
He inhaled and continued to say, "Do you know how it feels to have a knife stabbed in the heart by the person you trust the most?
Lu Zhou could tolerate the first few questions.
The last question was akin to tearing at his master's scars.
As soon as Yu Zhenghai finished speaking …
Lu Zhou snorted and waved his hand.
"Bastard!"
Smack!
A slap landed on Yu Zhenghai's face.
"Ding! Punished Yu Zhenghai. Reward: 200 merit points."
Yu Zhenghai did not dodge the slap. He took it head-on.
But he persisted.
"Master … You're high and mighty. You're the master of the Evil Sky Pavilion … You're the greatest Eight-leaf cultivator in the world. Who would dare say anything bad about you? But I'm not … I'm not … "
His voice trembled and became low and powerful. "I'm a piece of trash, a real piece of trash. Anyone can step on me and spit on me … The lives of the nobles are important, but the lives of the Wuqians are not?"
"Pigs and dogs are tied to the chopping board. The butcher's white knife goes in and out. The pigs and dogs still know how to scream and struggle. Don't tell me … I'm worse than a pig or a dog? I … don't even have the right to struggle? "
"I just want to climb up … step by step … climb to the highest place …"
He suddenly turned around and pointed at the mountains and forests. "Only when you stand at the highest place will people look up to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a reprimand.
"Shut up!"
Yu Zhenghai was stunned.
Looking at the stern and slightly angry expression of his master, he felt even more flustered.
Lu Zhou said resentfully, "That's right.
You're possessed … Do you think you're the only one who suffered the most under the heavens?
Do you think no one despised me when I was young? I reached the Eight-leaf stage 300 years ago. I've suffered for the remaining 700 years. How is that any lesser than yours?
Do you really think … I obtained my Eight-leaf cultivation base just like that?
"I've suffered so much. Could it be that I'm going to be like you, nagging and complaining endlessly? How much effort did I put in to nurture you to become an Eight-leaf cultivator?
There's no fairness in this world! "
"Shallow and ignorant. Why would I have a disciple like you?!"
Yu Zhenghai's mind was blank. For a time, he was at a loss for words.
"Ma-master?" Yu Zhenghai suddenly realized he had been too egotistical.
Yes, which Eight-leaf cultivator in this world had it easy? Which Eight-leaf cultivator did not go through untold hardships?
Lu Zhou said with a straight face.
"Don't call me master …"
Yu Zhenghai bowed. Bam! His forehead hit the ground!
For a time, the air seemed to freeze.
The surroundings were silent.
Lu Zhou turned around with his hands on his back. He no longer said anything.
The two of them were in a stalemate.
One was kneeling while the other was standing.
Lu Zhou remained silent. Yu Zhenghai remained silent as well.
This went on for an hour. When the moon was high in the sky and the stars filled the night sky, Lu Zhou suddenly sighed.
The sigh broke the silence.
Yu Zhenghai shuddered when he heard the sigh.
"I've said so much … to tell you that you can seek revenge, but you can't be blinded by hatred. You can conquer the Divine Capital, but you can't be blinded by power. "
Realization dawned on Yu Zhenghai.
He did not know what to feel.
Lu Zhou turned around.
Yu Zhenghai kowtowed again. Bam!
