Human Nature, People's Hearts

Coming to this world, to this family, was already extremely unpleasant, and on top of that, he had encountered a group of annoying people. But at this moment, Ren Jie looked at Tong Qiang and the others, then at the Family Head Ring on his hand, thinking about the Jade Emperor Art, the Spirit Jade, and the Amnesty Jade Token. Although he hadn't met Ren Tianxing yet, Ren Jie couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.

It was clear that although the Guard Squad standing here wasn't large in number, they were definitely chosen by Ren Tianxing after careful selection. Loyalty and devotion were absolutely not an issue, and that was enough.

Because as Ren Jie looked at them, his heart was also excited. Tong Qiang should be in the Divine Power Realm; Ren Jie still couldn't quite see through him. But besides Tong Qiang, there were three others at the ninth level of the True Qi Realm, fifteen who had reached the True Qi Realm, and the remaining hundred-plus were all at the ninth level of the Body Refining Realm. With Ren Jie's current realm, seeing them was like seeing long-accumulated treasures, just waiting to be unearthed.

Ren Jie suddenly remembered that these people hadn't fought for nearly six or seven years, right? Oh, Ren Jie immediately understood what was going on.

"If you regret it now, it's still not too late." Ren Jie looked at them and said without politeness, "Because next, this Family Head is going to start cursing. Because you are even more good-for-nothing than this Family Head, you deserve to be cursed more than I do, you have disgraced my father, Ren Tianxing."

Ren Jie could say anything else, even directly curse them, and they wouldn't care. After taking off their armor, they were all relaxed and joking with each other. But as soon as they heard Ren Jie's last sentence, everyone's expression instantly changed.

Boom! Everyone's aura reached its peak, especially Tong Qiang at the very front. The power of the third level of the Divine Power Realm surged out. If he hadn't forcefully controlled it, it would have almost pressed down on Ren Jie.

They could be called anything, but hearing Ren Jie say such words, they were truly enraged.

Ren Tianxing was a god-like existence in their hearts. Ren Jie's words were equivalent to directly breaking their bottom line.

"What, you think I'm wrong, do you? Look at your current cultivation. How much have you improved since my father left? The comfortable life has made you lose your motivation. How many of you have crossed major realms in these years? Think about these past few years compared to before. You eat better, live better, enjoy yourselves more, and have more resources and medicinal materials, but what has been the result? You've all become fat and strong, but how much of your strength is left?"

"With you like this, how can you protect me? No wonder outsiders and people within the family don't care about you, because they know they have raised you from hungry wolves into fat pigs, and you can be slaughtered soon. Tell me yourselves, did I say you disgraced my father, Ren Tianxing, was I wrong?"

"Those who think I'm wrong can step forward now. As long as you can give a reason that convinces yourself, this Family Head will immediately give you a big apology." Ren Jie finished speaking and coldly scanned these people. However, his heart was extremely excited. These people had fought for their lives and improved rapidly in the past, which quickly increased their strength but also drained their limited potential. But these past few years of recuperation had nourished their bodies and increased their potential.

These people who survived countless battles and were chosen by Ren Tianxing must have something extraordinary about them. Although they weren't super geniuses, they were all unusual. At this moment, Ren Jie looked at them as if looking at artificially created treasures, waiting to be unearthed. Ren Jie was certain that this was something Ren Tianxing had intentionally done. In the early stage, they were fiercely killed, fought, and their potential was unearthed between life and death, and then they were slowly recuperated and nourished. In this way, when they erupted next time, it would be very terrifying, and then a terrifying Guard Squad could truly be built.

This was no longer a Guard Squad in the general sense. No wonder only these hundred-plus people were left, because if this team was rebuilt, its role would not be as simple as an ordinary team fighting on the battlefield. Each of them would reach a terrifying height.

However, this kind of thing should have been done at least fifteen or sixteen years ago. These people followed Ren Tianxing in battles and campaigns for nearly ten years when they were teenagers, and then were supported in the family for six or seven years. Seeing them, Ren Jie understood why even Ren Qiancheng was so angry and unhappy when he saw Tong Qiang and the others. To raise them like this, the cost was definitely not small.

No wonder the Second Elder and the others felt like they were getting rid of a big burden. Even for a large family like the Ren Family, treating a group of Guard Squad members, the resources spent on each person for six or seven years were like those of direct descendants. It was quite good that they had endured until now.

At this moment, Tong Qiang and the others were stunned, because recalling the past six years, their lives seemed too comfortable. They were all radiant, and although they occasionally complained about being bored, they had also gotten used to that kind of life. On the other hand, their strength hadn't improved much. The more they thought about it at this moment, the more they felt terrified...

Originally, they were very angry, extremely angry, at being spoken to like this by Ren Jie. Which one of them here hadn't experienced dozens, even hundreds, of battles on the battlefield and survived?

Which one of them hadn't killed dozens of people? Becoming Ren Tianxing's Guard Squad was the greatest pride of their lives, but now they were being spoken to like this by Ren Jie.

But after the anger, listening to Ren Jie say this again, they all felt a chill down their spines and cold sweat dripping.

"Nothing to say, right? If you have nothing to say, then from now on, start training at three times the standard you used to train at in the army. Until this Family Head customizes a new training plan for each of you, it will continue like this. If three times isn't enough, it will be five times, if five times isn't enough, it will be ten times. Start immediately." Except for Tong Qiang, whom Ren Jie couldn't see through, with Ren Jie's current realm, he could see through the physical condition of the others at a glance. As long as he understood their cultivation and observed them, Ren Jie was confident he could propose some targeted cultivation plans.

Moreover, because he saw the huge accumulation of potential in them, with the nourishment of these six or seven years, Ren Jie could train and squeeze them with confidence, boldness, and even madness.

"I'll say it again, leaving this Family Head before tonight is still valid. If you don't leave, then get moving. Do you know why my father raised you? Because you are too weak, how can you protect him? You say you protect this Family Head now, but if in a few days you are weaker than me, this Hedonistic Young Master, this Family Head whom others look down upon, what's the point of you being alive? Improve, cultivate, cultivate like crazy for me, let me see that you are still valuable alive, let me see that you haven't disgraced Ren Tianxing."

"Yes." Tong Qiang's bald head was covered in bulging veins from being cursed by Ren Jie, and his face was flushed. After hearing Ren Jie finish, he roared, and everyone immediately began training like crazy. It had been six or seven years, and they had once again started the training they did when they fought with Ren Tianxing. Not to mention them, even Tie Ta, who was standing beside them, was so stirred up that he also joined in the training.

"This is my token in the Ren Family. Take this and go to the Ren Family's Alchemy Room, under the guise of learning Medicine Preparation. Don't be polite with them, find a way to get more potions, especially potions for healing external injuries and nourishing the body. If anyone dares to stop you, it's a good opportunity for them to practice." Ren Jie finished speaking, turned around, took out the Family Head Token, and threw it to Gao Ren. Finally, he smiled and winked at Gao Ren.

"The task is arduous, but Meal Ticket Boss, don't worry, I'm best at this." Gao Ren immediately understood.

Slap! In the unique and strange Primeval Forest of the Ren Family, Ren Tianzong looked at Ren Jie in a water mirror and the Guard Squad who were training like crazy after being stimulated by Ren Jie. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh and gently tapped the water mirror, which immediately turned into steam and dissipated into the world.

The reason Ren Jie dared to be a little more open in his residence was that he knew his residence was a formation and Restriction personally set up by Ren Tianxing. However, he didn't expect that Ren Tianzong could control the formation and Restriction there and see everything inside his residence.

"Stimulating them with the Old Family Head is fine, but he himself wants to train the Guard Squad and even personally formulate plans for the Guard Squad. Isn't that a bit whimsical?" Wan Hong was also standing beside Sixth Master at this moment, and he saw all of this. He felt that some of Ren Jie's words were too unreliable. After all, Ren Jie was only in the Body Refining Realm, while the most ordinary members of the Guard Squad were at the ninth level of the Body Refining Realm, and there were more than a dozen in the True Qi Realm, as well as three at the eighth level of the True Qi Realm. Tong Qiang was even a strong expert who had stepped into the Divine Power Realm. The fact that he said he wanted to formulate cultivation plans for them was simply laughable.

"Is that all you see?" Sixth Master suddenly turned to look at him, the surprise and joy on his face had not yet faded. Obviously, the scene just now had greatly shocked him.

Uh! Wan Hong was stunned. The Sixth Master asking that question definitely meant there was something wrong with his observation. But he did feel that what Ren Jie said was completely nonsensical, just meant to motivate and stimulate those people. He even said later that they should make their own plans. In Wan Hong's opinion, this was already a joke.

It was complete nonsense, just messing around.

"Yes." Seeing the Sixth Master looking at him, Wan Hong didn't dare to hide anything and nodded.

"People are easily prejudiced, which can easily affect your judgment. Think about that scene again. Every word this kid said was very targeted, almost seeing through human nature and people's hearts, and specifically aimed at Tong Qiang and the others. A few words could reignite the flames of war that had been extinguished for years, making them give up their comfortable lives. Even if the country was invaded and war was raging, and you were giving a pre-war mobilization speech, do you think anyone could achieve this level with just a few words?"

"If he had said a complete, impassioned, and orderly speech, then perhaps someone helped him. But he achieved this with scattered words amidst changes, which clearly shows his grasp of human nature has reached a certain level. Even if I went myself, I absolutely couldn't do it to this extent."

What? Wan Hong listened, almost unable to believe his ears. The Sixth Master actually said that even he couldn't do it to this extent. How was that possible?

This was absolutely impossible. What kind of person was the Sixth Master? If it weren't for...

"Think carefully about every detail just now. Human nature and people's hearts are the hardest to control and grasp. It seems simple but is actually the most difficult..." Saying this, the Sixth Master, Ren Tianzong, sighed with emotion, "I didn't expect this kid to have this skill. As expected of Big Brother's bloodline. I even misjudged him before. He clearly saw through the situation with Tong Qiang and the others. Even I only understood Big Brother's intentions in recent years, yet he could see through it."

The Sixth Master, Ren Tianzong, felt more and more amazed the more he thought about it. The surprised expression on his face never faded. He savored it for a while until the time came, then he quickly hurried towards the wooden house, not forgetting to remind Wan Hong.

"Think about it carefully. Also, after the Family Head is busy these few days and has time, go to the Family Head and say that it's inconvenient for me to leave. If the Family Head is free at any time, please ask the Family Head to come over. Also, have the people outside increase the propaganda about the conflict between the Family Head and the Council of Elders, and the conflict between the Ren Family and the Gao Family. No news about the Family Head's residence is to be leaked. Any suspicious servants who originally served at the Family Head's residence are to be dealt with. No hidden dangers can be left."

"Oh... Yes!" Wan Hong was stunned for a moment before quickly agreeing, still not having fully processed the Sixth Master Ren Tianzong's words.

The Sixth Master actually asked him to invite the Family Head. One must know that the Sixth Master was not only a member of the Council of Elders, but he was also not like those elders who previously had no real power. Such an attitude could only indicate one thing: he was truly treating Ren Jie as the Family Head, even though Ren Jie was his junior, a Family Head who was not yet an adult and was suppressed by the Council of Elders.

Wan Hong was not stupid. With the Sixth Master's guidance, and thinking back to the scenes he saw in Ren Jie's courtyard through the water mirror, the deeper he thought, the more terrifying it became.

How could he know that Ren Jie's realm was so high, and that Ren Jie had transmigrated from Earth? Because he had heard the Sage Dao Discussion, everything he had heard, seen, and learned in his previous life, things he himself had forgotten before, were now clearly available for his use.
