Xie Hui no longer concealed anything and said, "Newly promoted Starry Sky Inspectors can borrow three million points in the points mall, interest-free for ten years."
Ten years later, the monthly interest rate is one percent.
So here's the question.
First, you need to secure a three million loan to buy gifts for the marriage alliance. In front of Wu Wei, you should squander your points in a fit of pique to form a marriage alliance with one of our four great families, using money to demonstrate your courage and domineering spirit.
Wu Wei is just a young girl; we can't control the forces behind her. They will inevitably take action against us and set us up.
Secondly, we will attempt a marriage alliance, but we will not actually go through with it or get married.
Because that would be a desperate, do-or-die scheme, it would inevitably provoke the other party's anger and cause them to wreak havoc, which would be detrimental to your development of branch bases. Therefore, we should turn the tables and cause your marriage partner to have an affair and become pregnant, leaving you with no choice but to accept the bitter consequences.
That creates a rift between us, which is equivalent to us treating you like a puppet, giving the other party the opportunity to exploit any loopholes. How you operate is up to you.
That is, the Infernal Affairs you mentioned.
However, what we need is for you to be absent, but our noble family's eldest daughter must conceive your child; that's the prerequisite.
The decision to make those decisions is up to you; we can't help you with that.
Third, we have to go all the way with the act. After we put on this self-inflicted injury, we'll grow to dislike each other, and conflicts will keep arising. During this time, you might have to suffer some physical pain and tears.
They will also seize any opportunity to arrange a marriage with you.
Our requirement is that marriage alliances are acceptable, but they absolutely cannot be allowed to have offspring.
This is the bottom line, the prerequisite for our win-win cooperation.
In summary, if you feel you cannot meet these three requirements, we can explore another cooperation model where you can be a hands-off manager and not concern yourself with anything.
Success or failure is a contest between us and the other side. As long as you maintain a neutral stance, we won't ask you to do anything. But the conflict still needs to be acted out, do you understand?
"Father-in-law, I like to live off women." Zheng Ya complied, though against his will.
Xie Hui smiled: "You're very smart; you made the right choice."
Because you understand that neutrality requires strength to defend, and without strength one is merely a puppet, manipulated by others, so you're really that clever?"
"Father-in-law, you jest. I just don't get along with Wu Wei. We're just natural enemies." Zheng Ya stated a fact, unable to tolerate Wu Wei's bad temper.
Moreover, even if someone who harms others and resorts to any means to achieve their own ends is affected by the exchange of good and evil souls, it is still a manifestation of Wu Wei's own good and evil, and an objective fact.
Objectively speaking, it's not wrong to strive for your dreams.
It's not wrong to try your best to break free from the control of aristocratic families.
However, given their differing ideologies and moral values, Zheng Ya found it difficult to accept Wu Wei's existence.
Love between people with superpowers has long transcended the love between ordinary people, emphasizing a resonance of souls.
While ideological alignment is possible, spiritual resonance is impossible.
Even if they are soulmates, they will betray you at some point.
Such a Daoist partner is better off not having.
Zheng Ya was defeated by reality and had no choice but to face it. Xie Hui said noncommittally, "We only look at the result, not the process."
What you need to understand is that the entry of two opposing powerful families into your Starry Sky Inspector's Starry Sky territory is unstoppable.
This means you only have the power to supervise, not the power to manage.
Your existence is a benefit of the points mall, which can help a group of noble families achieve longevity, prosper their clans, pass on their ancestral lineage, build a pyramid, and consolidate their eternal power.
So, will you choose to be a puppet or one of the strongest at the top of the pyramid? That depends on your performance next!
"Thank you for your advice, father-in-law," Zheng Ya replied with a smile, though his heart was already churning with turmoil, unable to calm down!
This is basically roasting it over a fire!
Xie Hui replied with a smile, "You're welcome, goodbye!"
After saying that, he hung up the time-traveling phone call, ending the world invitation call.
Neither side was at peace; both were weighing the gains and losses.
Zheng Ya was extremely distressed, realizing that he had no one to discuss this matter with.
It's not that he doesn't trust anyone, but in order to make his act convincing and avoid giving himself away, he can't tell a single word to a second person.
Must one person bear all the suffering alone?
This is the first test in Infernal Affairs: a moral dilemma.
If one fails the psychological interrogation, it is easy to be exposed and give up halfway.
The key is that there is no choice. Zheng Ya felt bitter and kept shouting in his heart, "You can do it! For the sake of the successful pilgrimage of the three planets and the path to immortality, you can definitely do it!"
On the Qian Yuan Continent, in the Xie family's main hall, high-ranking officials gathered together.
The only junior member in the family, Xie Ming, looked completely bewildered: "Dad, what were you all talking about just now?"
"Get out of the way, don't delay the elders' meeting. Observe more, learn more, and talk less." Xie Hui waved his hand, and a gentle supernatural power swept Xie Ming away to the end of the hall.
The elder stroked his white beard and said, "Do you think that young Zheng Ya is any good?"
"Hmm, I think Zheng Ya is quite capable."
However, the world is bound to be united for a long time and divided for a long time. In this chaotic world where the top of the pyramid is undergoing a reshuffling of power, his abilities are really not enough! The Second Elder was skeptical, neither approving nor opposing.
This implies that fully supporting Zheng Ya's rise to power would come at a high price.
But there is also a chance of winning. They can form two opposing views, avoid doing anything that offends others, and remain conservative and objective.
The Third Elder, his temper flaring, said: "My opinion is that it's more practical to control him as a puppet. If necessary, we can frame the other side for killing Zheng Ya, which would be a foul. Ultimately, victory is in our hands. Why bother with all these complicated and annoying things?"
"Pedantic, the talk of a brute." The Fourth Elder rarely spoke out in anger, which prompted the Third Elder to slam his fist on the table and retort angrily: "Fourth Elder, if you don't give me a straight answer today, I'll tear your mouth apart, you who talk a lot of nonsense."
"Alright, the fourth brother is the strategist of the Xie family. The family has developed in a very good manner under his advice, and he has made great contributions. Let him speak?" Xie Hui affirmed.
Unfortunately, the fourth brother was too talented. His youthful arrogance attracted the persecution of enemies, which damaged his foundation in cultivating supernatural abilities, leaving him half-crippled.
The Fourth Elder, with his proud and unyielding spirit, ignored the Third Elder's provocation and said calmly, "According to the official practice of the Tower of Babel, which strong person standing at the top of the pyramid doesn't lead a group world to consolidate their power?"
Have you ever seen a powerful family appoint a puppet ruler to the throne, or a member of a powerful family take over the position?
This has happened far too many times in history, but it always ended in failure. Why is that?
"Fourth brother, stop beating around the bush and just tell us why!" The Third Elder may be impulsive, but he's not stupid. He sensed something was going on and began to reflect. Why?
Which emperor of the empire wasn't a puppet?
Which emperor didn't govern by the whims of powerful families?
But this approach doesn't work on the top-tier powerhouses at the official Tower of Babel.
The Fourth Elder extended an index finger: "The Points Mall originates from the Heavenly Dao and exists in accordance with the will of the Heavenly Dao."
The officials who died unjustly because they owned the points mall were simply losers eliminated by the Heavenly Path.
The powerful families were the real culprits behind their downfall.
This shows that the will of Heaven follows a law, and the will of Heaven cannot be defied.
Only when an official representative of the will of Heaven leads a large family or clan to maintain the normal operation of all the heavens and myriad realms can it conform to the unspoken rules of the will of Heaven.
This is the result of information I gathered through various channels. You can decide what to do with it.
"Holy crap, is it really fate, some kind of unspoken rule?" The Third Elder cursed, already believing it to some extent.
Everyone in the hall looked ashen-faced and grim. Xie Hui, in a panic, kept slapping his forehead: "Does this mean we have no other choice?"
"Clan leader, Zheng Ya is the one who has no other choice. His situation is ten thousand times more difficult than ours. Should we give it our all or give up?" The Fourth Elder's words were truly shocking!
