What are you talking about?
Chen Qing's voice was still as gentle as ever, but this time, in the darkness of the night, it sent a chill down their spines.
Shen Qi was a smart man, a very smart man. Almost instantly he understood what Wei Gongcheng was afraid of, and at that moment, he felt the same way as Wei Gongcheng.
Everyone can see Chen Qing's contributions to the people of Jiangnan, and they can also see everything he has done, risking his life for.
But what if it's all a facade?
In fact, he suddenly realized a problem.
Perhaps we have never truly tried to understand Chen Qing.
There were many things they hadn't dared to think about from the beginning: Why did Chen Qing possess such a miraculous ability to bestow titles? How did he know so much information?
Why do I always give the impression that we're from a different world?
Why isn't anyone saying anything?
Chen Qing walked over and sat down between the two. They glanced at their teacups in silence, and the atmosphere became frighteningly cold. Shen Qi knew he had to say something; the awkward silence couldn't continue.
Just as he was about to speak, Wei Gongcheng spoke first, "We were discussing, my lord, what is your relationship with those new spirits?"
Shen Qi: "."
He stayed in Liuzhou for two years and had developed a very good relationship with Wei Gongcheng. Through their interactions, he learned that Wei Gongcheng was a seemingly rigid person who was actually very insightful and talented.
Why are you being so straightforward today?
"Oh, no wonder the atmosphere was so strange." Chen Qing poured herself a cup of tea, then looked at them casually. "So, what conclusions did you reach? What is my relationship with those new spirits?"
Shen Qi swallowed hard, while Wei Gongcheng looked directly at Chen Qing: "We believe that those people, and you, my lord, are the same kind of people, right?"
"What are you talking about?" Shen Qi glared at Wei Gongcheng.
"Yes!"
Shen Qi: "."
I'm afraid I'm going to die a second time today.
Wei Gongcheng was also taken aback; he hadn't expected Chen Qing to reply so bluntly!
The reason he asked so bluntly was that he hadn't considered the possibility of Chen Qing silencing him. Chen Qing had shown him great kindness, and if things really came to a head, he was willing to give his life. But he needed to know the truth. However, he genuinely hadn't expected the other party to be so direct.
"My lord," Wei Gongcheng didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Your suspicions are correct," Chen Qing nodded directly, "Strictly speaking, I and those newcomers are the same kind of people."
"Who exactly are you people?" Shen Qi couldn't help but ask.
"We come from a very special place," Chen Qing said directly. "That place isn't very suitable for survival, so we started trying to find a place that was suitable."
Chen Qing tried her best to ask the question in the language that was understandable in this area.
"This is the new place we've found, so we've started planning to bring more of our compatriots here!"
Wei Gongcheng and Shen Qi exchanged a glance, and the same answer simultaneously came to mind: an invasion by Outer Demon!!
The master I serve is actually an Outer Demon?!
The two who received the answer felt a chill run down their spines!
Chen Qing silently observed their expressions, patiently waiting for them to calm down.
He knew this day would come sooner or later; some things would have to be laid bare eventually!
The Divine Path Style relies on power. Only when the power operates well can the Divine Path Lord have a continuous source of Power of Faith. And to operate well, one needs capable subordinates. Wei Gongcheng was the first capable person I recruited. As my first master of the Underworld, he has never let me down. Even when faced with the Ziyue rebellion, he handled it well enough.
Even though he didn't manage to capture Ziyue later, he still managed to defend Liuzhou and effectively control A Li.
As the de facto head of the Shen Family family, Seventh Master Shen plays a significant role, especially his techniques, which have high strategic value and will be able to better serve his purpose when he reaches the Transcendent.
He didn't want to lose either of them, so Chen Qing was willing to patiently try once, but if it didn't work out...
Chen Qing closed his eyes slightly. Sometimes, there are things that simply have to be done!
The three remained silent for a long time before Wei Gongcheng finally spoke first, "How does Your Majesty plan to continue to treat your people in Jiangnan?"
"What is now will be what will be in the future," Chen Qing said earnestly.
"Is that possible?" Wei Gongcheng looked at the other person. "Your compatriots will keep coming here. Won't you favor them? As their numbers increase, won't they gradually replace the people here? Through Samsara!!"
This question was quite cutting. Chen Qing looked into the other person's eyes and felt somewhat relieved. All the years of kindness he had shown to Wei Gongcheng had not been in vain. Even though the other person had such doubts about him, he did not hide them but took the initiative to say them, which clearly showed that he was determined to die!
"Possibly," Chen Qing nodded. "This world is bigger than we imagine, and there aren't as many of us as you think. We can definitely integrate here and become one of us."
"Completely become the same kind of people?" Wei Gongcheng sneered, "Can the lord make that decision? Can you control them? Will they get along with us as peacefully as you expect? What if they cause trouble?"
"Kill!" Chen Qing's voice turned cold. "Whether they cause chaos or you cause chaos, my attitude is the same: those who break the system must die!"
Shen Qi's heart skipped a beat, while Wei Gongcheng was taken aback. He stared at Chen Qing for a long time before slowly standing up. "You would harm your own people for our sake?"
"It's not for you." Chen Qing looked up at the other person earnestly. "It's for the ideal world in my heart. What I want to do is create a world without fear or war. Anyone who stands in my way, I will take action, no matter who they are!"
As he spoke, Chen Qing slowly stood up and looked earnestly at Wei Gongcheng: "So, are you still willing to serve me?"
"If I don't want to, will you kill me?"
"Yes!" Chen Qing nodded. "You carry the power of the Underworld, and the karmic force of the entire Liuzhou Underworld rests on your body. If you leave rashly, the consequences will be enormous and extremely dangerous. Therefore, if you are unwilling, I will kill you!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Gongcheng smiled, crossed his right arm over his left chest, and gave a habitual military salute. "If our lord's resolve remains unchanged, I, Wei Gongcheng, will serve you for life!"
"Okay!" Chen Qing immediately smiled, then looked at Shen Qi.
Wei Gongcheng also looked at Shen Qi, which left Shen Qi speechless. He could sense a hint of murderous intent in Wei Gongcheng's eyes, and if he answered inappropriately, Wei Gongcheng would attack him immediately.
That ungrateful wretch! I bring him good wine Heavenly Capital!
Besides, you bastard, you're the one who dragged me into this mess!
He didn't immediately pledge allegiance. He knew Chen Qing was serious, and he had to be serious too. He looked at Chen Qing: "My lord, you make it sound so simple. Even if you want those Samsara people to integrate here, will they be willing to integrate? They must all be very powerful, right? Will they treat the people here as human beings, like you do, my lord?"
"If you can't integrate, then die," Chen Qing said bluntly. "If they come to disrupt the world I created, then they deserve to die."
"Alright, even if the Lord can be fair and impartial, treating everyone equally!" Shen Qi took a breath and said, "What about the conflicts among the common people? They came with memories, right? Reincarnated into other people's families, they will surely behave abnormally, right? One or two, perhaps we can hide it, but if there are thousands, tens of thousands, or even more, how can we hide it?"
"When everyone knows that Your Majesty has allowed a group of Outer Demon to become their children, how can the people not be in turmoil? How can they tolerate it? Everyone will think that you have taken away their true children, and that will be true chaos!"
"What will the lord do then? Continue the brutal crackdown? Kill anyone who objects?"
"Can you kill them all?"
