Chapter 538: Master of Generosity and Wisdom
Abroad, even in Taiwan, religious groups often become the iron vote bank of certain political parties and are deeply tied to political forces.
In his home country, this kind of collusion between politics and religion is strictly prohibited.
There was once a religion that used the bait of giving out free eggs to try to attract the elderly in the community.
On the surface, the purpose of giving away eggs is to attract the elderly who are looking for bargains, but in fact, the religion has other intentions - they are targeting the grandchildren whom these elderly people help take care of and bring to church.
Through subtle influence and preaching, children whose values have not yet been formed will develop a liking for religion from an early age and naturally become believers when they grow up.
Faced with this "starting from the children" infiltration method, their country has also introduced regulations prohibiting minors from entering religious sites.
And now, considering the situation of China and his brother Ji's status, it would be easy to conquer those religious groups.
But religious fanaticism is like a double-edged sword – believers are often paranoid and extreme. Once the object of their faith fails to meet their expectations, this fanaticism may turn into a counter-force.
Just as his brother Ji worried, if the worst case scenario of "domain disappearance" really happened, the serious consequence that might be caused would be that those once devout believers would turn against him and become dangerous enemies.
They may even launch a crackdown on former objects of their faith.
He Rui chatted with Ji Changqing for a while, and suddenly remembered his big national flag.
His heart tightened and he shouted hurriedly, "Oh no, Brother Ji! Is my big national flag still there?" Don't lose it.
He tried hard to recall, but couldn't remember exactly where he put it.
He vaguely remembered forgetting it in the house he was living in when he first encountered the Evolvers. But he also vaguely remembered that his brother Ji seemed to have helped him retrieve it later. It didn't seem lost.
I don't remember clearly.
Ji Changqing nodded slightly, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Yes, I have been keeping it."
"Great!" He Rui said happily, his hands on his hips. "Then I want to hang it in our house. Do you have any objections? You can also hang a Chinese one."
Ji Changqing's eyes were as gentle as water, with a smile on his face, staring intently at the person in front of him.
"By the way, please put out those two photos of you when you were a child. They are so adorable." Just after he finished speaking, He Rui suddenly froze, realizing that he spoke too quickly and said the wrong thing.
He forgot that the bastard Ji Xinghan was in the family photo.
By showing that photo, wouldn't that just be rubbing salt into his brother Ji's wounds and making him sad?
He Rui's pupils trembled slightly in annoyance, and he secretly blamed himself for not thinking before speaking and not considering things carefully.
In order to prevent the other party from having wild thoughts, he hurriedly threw himself into Ji Changqing's arms, wrapped his legs around his waist, and hung on him like a koala. He quickly changed the subject and began to bombard him with words, "Brother Ji, how is your illusion practice going now? Can you create a specific illusion?
There hasn't been much progress in my mental attack and defense.
I'm studying so slowly, will you laugh at me for being stupid?
Actually, I’m not that smart. When I was in school, I was the type who would stay up late at night to study secretly.
When I reached high school, I discovered that there were many people who learned faster and had higher comprehension than me.
I was so obsessed with appearances that, to maintain my image as a "genius in elementary school" who skipped a grade, I would stay up late at night, studying by lamplight. During the day, I would pretend to be relaxed at school, telling all my classmates that I wasn't studying extra. I was quite pretentious when I was little..."
This trick really worked. Ji Changqing couldn't help but laugh, his shoulders shaking with laughter, "Is our elementary school genius so concerned about face?"
"Of course!" He Rui's ears felt slightly hot, and he hurriedly explained, "I was two or three years younger than my classmates at that time... When I say younger, I'm not pretending to be cute, I'm really younger..." At the end, his voice was a little shy.
He realized belatedly that when he robbed Ji Xinghan's photos in the shelter, he had promised that guy that he would give him the phone that took the two photos, but he completely forgot about it.
He Rui thought that was what he deserved.
It’s because the other person’s fate does not have these two photos.
...
He Rui hung the national flag in the living room neatly and brushed off the non-existent dust on his hands.
"It's time to continue practicing your abilities." Ji Changqing's voice came from behind.
He Rui turned around and looked at him with his head tilted: "Brother Ji, you have changed a lot."
Even during such painful training before, his brother never pushed him so hard, and even when he did, it was done gently and gradually. But now, as if he had suddenly sensed some kind of crisis, he pushed him to improve his resistance every day, and his attacks were extremely ruthless.
"What are you worried about? Did something happen?" He Rui asked.
Ji Changqing was silent for a moment, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the armrest of the sofa: "Yu Yinli and his gang are cruel and ruthless, and they have a history with us. If I lose my domain..."
He didn't continue speaking, and looked at He Rui with a gloomy look in his eyes, "You must become stronger."
Ji Changqing's plan, in addition to strengthening Ruirui himself, also included multiple safeguards. But no matter what, making Ruirui the strongest person besides him, just as they had agreed, was the most important thing.
So, even if one day...
The difficulties and injuries Ruirui encountered...came from him, so Ruirui could also fight back against him without any hesitation.
"I knew they were bad guys a long time ago." He Rui curled his lips. "Didn't you see me being bullied at that time? I was bullied by a group of people. I was like a dragon swimming in shallow waters being bullied by shrimps, a tiger in plains being bullied by dogs..."
As he was speaking, he suddenly changed the subject and asked sharply, "Wait a minute... you weren't... watching what was happening over there from a distance, were you? That's why you showed up so quickly to save me?"
Ji Changqing's body stiffened, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead: "...Yes..."
"Then why didn't you come earlier?" He Rui crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes.
"I... want you to... see the true nature of human nature." Ji Changqing's Adam's apple rolled.
"Oh~" He Rui drawled out his words, the tip of his tongue touching his back teeth, "So you deliberately said you wanted to collect the materials yourself, and then watched me get captured and bullied like a monkey?"
Ji Changqing was sweating profusely and stood there at a loss. He opened his mouth but could not form a complete defense.
"You are doing this for my own good..." He Rui touched his chin.
Ji Changqing had just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly heard He Rui's next sentence coldly say, "But I'm still a little angry."
His heart was in his throat as he waited nervously for the other party's verdict.
"Sleep in separate rooms tonight."
As these words came out lightly, Ji Changqing's eyes instantly turned red. He bit his lips and went to clean up the guest room silently.
He Rui looked at his aggrieved back and couldn't help laughing.
"Alright, alright!" He trotted after her, "We won't sleep in separate rooms anymore, no more~"
Ji Changqing, who was suddenly hugged, buried his face in his shoulder and said in a muffled voice: "Ruirui is the best..." His baby was angry for a second and then forgave him.
He Rui sighed helplessly, "When I see you feel wronged, I feel uncomfortable. I can't bear to see you feel wronged."
But he still said seriously, "But you can't do this kind of thing without my knowledge again, even if it's for my own good." He Rui poked Ji Changqing's chest and said word by word, "Did you hear?"
Ji Changqing raised his head and said "hmm" softly like a large dog admitting its mistake. He carefully observed He Rui's expression and sensed his emotional fluctuations. Seeing that Rui Rui was very calm, he breathed a sigh of relief and hooked his fingertips with He Rui's fingers in a flattering manner.
