Chapter 100 The helplessness of the family and the teachings of “father” (more updates)

Before opening the door, Zhu Zhuqing thought that the person knocking on the door might be Su Cheng who had just left, or it might be a servant who came to deliver a message.

Maybe even Zhu Zhuyun, the eldest sister who regarded her as a thorn in her side, came home from the academy.

But he never thought that he would be his father.

The father who had been so indifferent to him just now.

"Dad, why are you here?"

"Won't you let me in?" Zhu Hongtao's voice was calm and thick, but it also contained a hint of concern and closeness to his biological daughter, which was different from what he had just said in the hall.

"A mysterious boy came into my daughter's room. Can I just ignore him?"

A blush flashed across Zhu Zhuqing's cold cheeks, but what was even more obvious was her unexpected feeling that was almost beyond words.

This is not the same as the father in my impression.

As she stepped aside, Zhu Hongtao walked into the main hall, poured himself a glass of water, and sat on a chair on the side of the coffee table.

Looking at his daughter's strange expression, he fell silent for a moment.

"Xiao Qing, many things are not as simple as you think. Don't blame dad." He sighed.

"Our Zhu family seems to be prosperous. It is said that we are married to the royal White Tiger family, but in fact we are just their vassals. Brothers killing each other is the tradition of his Dai family, not our Zhu family."

Speaking of this, his expression showed a little pain and resentment towards the "Dai family" in his mouth.

“In this world, strength will ultimately speak for itself, and the weak have no choice.

"The so-called empire is just a collection of large and small interest groups. The Dai family is indeed very strong, but it is not strong enough to overwhelm all other families. The reason why we have reached this point is because of the strength of our Dai and Zhu families. Martial soul fusion skills.

"The Dai family maintains their bloody tradition, and the ultimate goal is to maintain their royal status. Our Xingluo Empire is different from the Tiandou Empire. The strong come first. If you are not strong enough, you will naturally be replaced by others."

Zhu Hongtao's voice became deeper and deeper.

"But unlike the Dai family, even if they don't have the Nether White Tiger, they still have the powerful white tiger spirit, but our Nether Civet Clan is much weaker.

"If it cannot be integrated with the White Tiger Martial Spirit, the Zhu family will no longer be able to maintain its current transcendent status."

Zhu Zhuqing's expression was a little confused.

He said softly: "Does it have to be like this? Gain status at the expense of your clan members."

"Xiao Qing, stop being so naive." Zhu Hongtao looked at her with a serious expression.

"Although we are actually vassals of the Dai family now, at least on the surface it is still a cooperative relationship. If you have different intentions and are unwilling to follow the Dai family's wishes, then I am afraid that even this so-called cooperative relationship will not be possible. It exists again. Maybe it will just be a tool for them to use to perform martial soul fusion skills in the future."

"tool……"

Zhu Zhuqing opened his mouth, his pupils dilated slightly, and silently chewed on this somewhat heavy word in his heart.

"That's right. Only the strong have the right to choose. If you really want to change everything, make yourself stronger. If you are not strong enough, then what you want to think about is how to maintain the current situation. An equal relationship.”

"Is it strong enough..."

"Yes, strong enough." Zhu Hongtao took a deep look at her, "Not just strong in strength, but strong in all aspects. No matter how strong you are alone, you can't compete with a big force. Even if you are banned Douluo, there are times when your strength is limited."

Having said this, he turned to ask: "Xiao Qing, how do you think our Star Luo Empire compares to Tiandou?"

"Of course it is far stronger than the Tiandou Empire." Zhu Zhuqing replied without thinking.

In terms of national power and military strength, the Xingluo Empire is far above the Tiandou Empire, and its power is concentrated. Unlike Tiandou, the imperial power is dispersed and there are a large number of kingdoms within the territory.

The only advantage of the Tiandou Empire is that the top three sects within the territory are located, but the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and the Haotian Sect have never participated in these political struggles.

"Then why didn't the Star Luo Empire invade the Tiandou Empire's territory? Is it because they didn't want to?"

Of course it’s impossible because I don’t want to.

Although Zhu Zhuqing is still young, he has grown up in this kind of family environment and knows many things well.

Nowadays, the resources of the empire seem to be abundant. After the major families divide it, there is not much left. It is impossible to fill everyone's stomach.

"Because of Wuhun Palace." She said softly.

"That's right. The Wuhun Palace lies between the two empires. There is no way for the Star Luo Empire to bypass it and attack the Tiandou Empire directly." Zhu Hongtao nodded and continued to ask: "Then what do you think of the Wuhun Palace? ?”

"It's very strong. The number of soul masters controlled by Wuhun Palace far exceeds the total number of soul masters under the orders of the two empires."

"Then why Wuhundian failed to become the master of the continent? Is it because he didn't want to?"

Zhu Zhuqing was speechless.

Zhu Hongtao picked up the water glass and took a sip, and said calmly: "I actually know all the things you encountered in the academy."

"..." Zhu Zhuqing raised his head in shock and looked at his father.

"To be honest, I'm very disappointed." Zhu Hongtao lowered his eyes slightly and looked at her.

"You only know how to use brute force, but you don't know how to use your brain to think carefully. You can't even dream of pulling your family out of the quagmire and freeing you sisters from the fate of killing each other.

"Have you ever thought about how that boy from the Su family can respond to everything in the academy?

"Is he stronger than you? How many times have you seen him take action? Or is his family more powerful than our Zhu family, making other students intimidated and making the college teachers also fear him?

"Or maybe he spent money and efforts to win over other people, so that the noble children gathered around him because of their interests?

"Actually, none.

"Have you ever thought about the reason?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Zhu Hongtao blankly, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Yes, this year, she has been living in the shadow of the small group headed by Su Cheng.

But he never thought about why those people were willing to follow his instructions and target him in various ways.

What good does this do to those people?

Zhu Hongtao stood up and walked slowly in the room.

"This can be achieved by relying on a 'power'. Weak people seek refuge, ambitious people want to gain some prestige, and those who have interests first are attracted by a leader who can bring them longer-term benefits. .”

"leader……"

"Yes, he is the leader. What does Su Cheng do and what kind of person he is? I don't think anyone can feel it more deeply than you, right? Is he really as gentle, elegant and approachable as he appears? His In your heart, do you really regard those people as brothers and sisters?"

Zhu Zhuqing's mind was in turmoil.

Su Cheng's demonic threats and whispers echoed in his ears, as well as his domineering and indifferent nature that was rarely shown in front of others.

"Conspiracies, calculations, and people's hearts, these are all issues you should consider, not just blind cultivation, just thinking about improving your own strength and cultivation.

"Unless you are a god!"

Zhu Hongtao said lightly.

"If you have the power to fight one against a hundred, then you don't need to worry about these trivial matters. Your strength alone is enough to crush everything, but can you do it?

"Even if Tang Chen, the ancestor of the Haotian Sect, defeated all the invincible opponents in the world with his own strength, could he still act according to his own will?"

"..." After a long silence, Zhu Zhuqing nodded, "I understand. Dad, what should I do?"

Hearing this, Zhu Hongtao smiled happily.

"I'll just remind you that no one can't be exploited. No one has no desires, and no one is fearless. You just need to find what he wants most, and then use benefits to lure him, use threats, and use affection. If you move it, you can naturally use it for your own use.

"But remember. Those who come together for profit will also part for profit. No one deserves your full trust, including me."
