Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

Chapter 539: Chapter 229: Take 1 elixir! Accept disciples for 10,000 silver!

Half an hour later, the private room.

”What’s the matter? Looking at me with such eyes, it seems like I’m invisible.” Yuchi asked with a smile.

Nothing.

With both hands holding Yuchi’s right hand, fiddling with it in her palm, Song Yinghan thought for a moment and asked, ”There’s a question I’ve never really understood.”

”What question?” Yuchi asked with a smile.

”It’s like this.”

Song Yinghan carefully thought, cautious in her demeanor, seriously said, ”Why do you keep such a low profile? I mean, you’re already a cultivator, but it seems you don’t care about your cultivation level, and you are the Sect Leader of Ascension Gate.”

”Normally, men would want everyone to know their greatness now, to be well-known and renowned.”

”But in others’ eyes, you don’t appear to be very powerful, and there seem to be many flaws easily caught.”

Song Yinghan spoke truthfully, never knowing how Yuchi thought of this matter. If she were Yuchi, she could never appear so composed; this identity, status, wealth, power, isn’t it what people dream of?

Then why so calm? Is it intentional, or unintentional.

Yuchi understood Song Yinghan’s question, having nothing to hide from his woman, he said with a smile, ”Let friends underestimate your strengths, and enemies overestimate your weaknesses; this is the basic way to survive.”

The Godfather thinks it’s excellent.

Song Yinghan nodded slowly, mulling over Yuchi’s words. Friends underestimate strengths, enemies overestimate weaknesses, is this the basic way to survive?

”Yes, things are actually easy to see. Friends... in deep trouble, true friends only emerge in times of crisis. When one day you escape hardship, living well, can those earlier friends truly maintain a stable mindset?”

”So, with friends, keep a low profile, report woes not joys, flaunting a bit will lead to jealousy, even curses, which is unnecessary.”

Yuchi leaned his forehead against Song Yinghan’s, his expression calm as he continued, ”As for enemies... never show too strong a front. Either appear weak and retreat, or when the time comes, strike decisively.”

”An enemy who lets down their guard is easier to deal with than one fully alert, it’s a very basic principle.”

It’s such a basic principle, not hard to understand, but knowing and doing are two different things. Yuchi honestly has lived once, his memories full of various tragic recollections.

Former friends turned away, some partners parted ways. At its core, things are just that simple, nothing profound.

As Yuchi recalled these things, does he regret?

Of course he regrets, regretting his impulsive youth, why trust someone without blood ties, believing they’re more important than silver... But if there’s no regret in this world, life is dull.

”I understand now, and because of your feigned weakness, my father is so arrogant and proud, not realizing who he’d encountered.”

Song Yinghan, with a dazed look, stared at the palm lines in Yuchi’s hand, her fingertips sliding over them, trying to slowly understand.

”Haha, I’ve been merciful enough, I already warned him to watch out, I told him I’d tear down his star observatory in three years, if he were my true enemy, would I reveal my intentions?”

”I wouldn’t.”

”By the time he realizes, I’ve already brought my disciples to dismantle it.”

Yuchi said with a chuckle.

Previously telling Song Qingshan those things was mainly for Song Yinghan’s sake, otherwise, with Song Qingshan openly against the chamber, if he really acted, the star observatory wouldn’t survive a decisive assault.

Why did prolonged battling occur, unable to decide winner? Ultimately, it’s because pre-battle assessments were poorly done. True battles must decisively cut through complexities; battles aren’t like aged wine, not the longer it drags, the better.

”Analyze enemy strength, assess own power, seize chance for surprise, swiftly resolve; this is best for your side.”

”Can’t just rely on ’it’s okay’, then rush like a fool. Winning once or twice is luck, losing once means instant death.”

”All previous efforts will be wasted, would anyone call this heroic?”

Understood... Song Yinghan looked at Yuchi’s terrifying destiny line on his palm, sweating profusely: ”How many wives will you have, if I knew you’d have so many, I wouldn’t be so naïve...”

”Haha, that’s because you didn’t assess the battle beforehand, seeing now, even regret can’t be fixed.”
