Qian Renxue looked at Nan Feng and asked confidently, "Didn't you often teach me before that 'having no choice is the best choice for the enemy'?"
"As long as Heaven Dou Imperial Family dies and only me, the eldest prince, is left, then no matter how unwilling that old guy Xue Ye is, he can only pinch his nose and make me the prince!"
"Why bet on his imaginary 'think about it'?"
After hearing this stubborn answer, Nan Feng looked at Qian Renxue steadily for two seconds.
There was no anger or disappointment in his eyes, only a sense of calmness and boredom as if he had already seen through the ending.
"Okay."
Nan Feng did not continue to argue with her on this issue. He shrugged casually. "I am just giving you a suggestion with lower risks and greater benefits. Since you feel that assassination is more to your liking, and you have already decided, I won't say more."
"You choose the path yourself. Whether Heaven Dou Empire will be turned into an empty shell by you in the end is your own business."
After saying that, Nan Feng turned around without hesitation, strode towards the outside of the study with his little hands behind his back.
Looking at Nan Feng's decisive and somewhat indifferent back, Qian Renxue suddenly panicked for no reason. She subconsciously took a step forward and called out to him urgently:
"Teacher, please wait a moment!"
Nan Feng stopped and turned his head slightly, but did not turn around. "Is there anything else?"
Qian Renxue bit his lower lip, his eyes full of confusion and confusion. "Teacher, I don't understand... why did you suddenly come to me tonight to tell me this?"
In Qian Renxue's inherent impression, her "teacher" has always been extremely arrogant, and can even be described as violent and radical!
The blitzkrieg that shook the continent launched by the Spirit Hall against the Clear Sky Sect was his hand.
And later, in order to help that woman completely regain control of the Pope Palace and Elder Hall, he even chose an extremely cruel and drastic method to plunge her biological father, her superior predecessor Pope Qian Xunji, into the quagmire together with his last dignity!
In Qian Renxue's perception, Nan Feng is a cold-blooded hero who will do anything to achieve his goals and regards the world as nothing.
"A person like you..." Qian Renxue stared at him closely, "And now you suddenly come to me and talk about 'political games' and 'stabilizing the government', and even persuade me to give up the most direct and effective assassination and follow a protracted and variable strategic path?"
"This is not like your behavior at all!"
Hearing these words that were almost questioning, Nan Feng turned around, his eyes of different colors flickering under the flickering candlelight.
"My actions are indeed radical, and my methods are sometimes very unscrupulous. But this does not mean that I will be like a barbarian who can only wield a mallet and regard violence as the only way to solve problems!"
"In my eyes, violence, bloodshed, assassination... those things are just tools used to achieve their goals! Tools, understand? They are scissors used to trim excess branches and vines, not a hammer used to smash the entire flower pot!"
"Tools are meant to be used on the edge, not to show off or abuse."
"Let me ask you." Nan Feng took a step forward and looked into Qian Renxue's eyes, "In the war between the Spirit Hall and Clear Sky Sect, if it had been directed by you or your father Qian Xunji, how would you have fought?"
Without waiting for Qian Renxue to answer, Nan Feng gave her the answer:
"Will you give Clear Sky Sect a chance to breathe and negotiate when you have the absolute upper hand? Will you still leave a way for Tang Xiao and those affiliated sects to survive, or even incorporate them for your own use, even though you are clearly capable of completely annihilating the other party?"
"No! You will only kill everyone for the so-called Angel glory and absolute authority. Even if Spirit Hall himself is severely injured and suffers countless casualties, you will not hesitate!"
"But what is the purpose of war? Is it to kill people?"
"What I seek is never pure destruction! I use the minimum cost to satisfy my own strategic needs while also trying to leave a chance for others to meet their needs! This is called order! This is called united front!"
"But what about you? Or... where is your good father, Qian Xunji?"
When Qian Xunji was mentioned, Qian Renxue's face instantly turned a little pale.
"You Qian Family family has a disgusting arrogance from the very core!"
Nan Feng said lightly, "In your eyes, as long as you live a good life, as long as Spirit Hall's glory can shine on the mainland, it doesn't matter how floods and devastation others are outside?!"
"Force is the only language you understand, and it is also your only reliance! It can even be said that you, the so-called descendants of gods, will simply not be able to survive in this world once you are separated from the deterrence of violence!"
"You are aloof and regard yourself as the absolute and only center. If you encounter any slight obstacle, your first reaction is to draw your sword and kill. To put it bluntly..."
Nan Feng sneered, "He's just a bandit leader wearing a sacred cloak!"
"Back then, Qian Xunji, for the sake of Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast, and to satisfy his own pitiful selfish desires, he did not hesitate to completely break up with the Clear Sky Sect, which was at the height of his power, causing a bloody mess and hurting both sides!"
"So, looking at you now, it's really hard for me not to wonder, what kind of person will you become in the future?"
"If one day, the peace and stability of the world and the grand ambition and hegemony that you want to achieve at all costs are placed in front of you at the same time, you can only choose one..."
Nan Feng stared hard at her evasive eyes. "What would you choose?"
"If it were Qian Xunji, I have no doubt that that selfish guy would choose the latter without hesitation. Even if half of the people on the continent die, as long as it satisfies his ambition to dominate the world, he will not blink an eye."
"So... what about you? Qian Renxue?"
There was deathly silence in the study.
Qian Renxue stared blankly at Nan Feng, who was standing in front of him and was less than his waist.
Her mind was in chaos, and she was in a daze for a moment.
She really doesn't understand.
She is the most radical, even crazy, demon teacher who always likes to use "killing whole families" and "slaughtering cities and annihilating clans" as bargaining chips...
An executioner with countless blood on his hands...
Why are you standing in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace's study at this moment, talking to her about "peace in the world" and "the loss of life" in a pitiful tone?
Seeing the undisguised confusion and astonishment in Qian Renxue's eyes, the ridicule in Nan Feng's eyes subsided a bit and replaced it with an extremely cold and magnanimous expression.
"Put away those random speculations in your mind, don't get me wrong."
Nan Feng paced slowly with his little hands behind his back, his tone calm.
"When I say this, I am not teaching you a moral lesson, nor am I advising you to put down your butcher knife and become a benevolent monarch who is full of benevolence, justice and morality."
"I don't care at all what means you will use to seize power in the future. I don't even care what choice you will make between 'peace in the world' and 'grand hegemony'."
Qian Renxue was completely stunned. "Then you..."
"I just hope that you can have at least a little bit of self-knowledge!"
Nan Feng suddenly increased his tone and his eyes were as bright as a torch.
"I want you to know clearly what you want! Know whether your unscrupulous means are for selfish desires or something else! What's more, you need to know clearly what the final consequences of all the decisions you make will be!"
There was undisguised disgust in Nan Feng's eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Look at your good father, Qian Xunji! That idiot always says one thing and does another. All he talks about is Spirit Hall's righteousness and the glory of God, but in reality?"
"The mess he pretends to be in his heart is all due to his shady selfish desires! It is obvious that what he is doing is the business of banditry and banditry, and it is obvious that he is a smelly piece of shit, but he still packs himself up to be so sacred and noble every day, and is moved there every day!"
"And that old guy Qian Daoliu!"
"Usually, I'm aloof and hide in the Douluo Hall every day, pretending to be an aloof and unconcerned old god. But what's the reality?"
"Once the matter really touches on his Qian Family's core rule and vested interests, his so-called profound righteousness will disappear in an instant! His high moral character and prestige will all become bullshit! Peel off the mask of hypocrisy, and what will be revealed is the face of a vested interest who is greedy and refuses to admit his mistakes!"
Nan Feng took a deep breath and made no secret of his disgust:
"These two pretentious guys really make me feel sicker than the other!"
He walked back to Qian Renxue, looked at the girl who was stiff because of his rebelliousness, and his voice slowed down, but was extremely sharp:
"The reason I'm telling you this today is just because you call me teacher. I don't want you to live like the kind of thing that makes me feel sick to my stomach just by looking at it. Do you understand?"
"People are people, and selfish desires are selfish desires. There is nothing shameful about this."
"Human beings will have desires. You want grand hegemony, you want supreme power, you want to trample the two empires under your feet, that's fine! If you want to pave the way with bloodshed, assassination and war, that's fine too!"
"However, if you are clearly full of selfish desires and are clearly using the most ruthless and unscrupulous methods to kill Yingye, but you still want to deceive yourself and others, insisting on building a memorial arch for yourself, pretending to be disgusting and saying, 'I am doing all this for the sake of the common people in the world,'..."
"Qian Renxue, that's really disgusting."
