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

Li Changyi was at a loss for how to answer Yuchi’s question, and even more so about how Yuchi could speak so familiarly about such things, given that she had spent so much time in the Great Tang Prison without ever considering them. How did he see through it!

Moreover, he seemed somewhat shrouded in darkness now, half of his face unseen, akin to a predator lurking in the shadows, while she felt like prey.

Why could he speak such terrifying words so easily?

How could he think of such things?

”To save a person, you need to understand the predicament they are in. To solve an issue, you need to know the trouble spots. To help this world, you need to comprehend how dark it is.”

”Step aside, I’m about to start showing off,” Yuchi said, lightly laughing as Li Changyi was clearly somewhat perplexed.

”Only by seeing darkness can one learn how to solve it. To merely possess a hopeful mind is self-deception; for this world, it brings only harm, no little benefit, perhaps leading the world to a state of ignorant joy akin to singing serenely as doom approaches.”

”Like me, I can only see you, Li Changyi, because you told me these things. Only then can I understand just how dark it truly is and know how to deal with the matters of the Great Tang Prison. Otherwise, if I stubbornly believed the prison was pure as a lotus, how could I possibly contend with it?”

Li Changyi seemingly understood Yuchi’s meaning and nodded: ”But why do you dare to speculate like that? Have you ever had such dark thoughts?”

”Indeed.” Yuchi did not conceal.

Li Changyi: ”So sure!”

Of course! When Yuchi was in college, he shared study materials with classmates to help everyone learn cultured elegance.

Right on point!

With a cheerful smile, Yuchi handed over his teacup: ”So let’s set this aside for now; I’m definitely on your side since you shared these words with me. Now the question is simple: There should be situations like that in the Great Tang Prison, right? Where people suddenly leave, then get promoted and rich, never to be seen again?”

Li Changyi’s psychological defenses were shattered by Yuchi; she could only nod dumbly upon hearing his question: ”There are a few spots every year, and people fight over them. The winners can leave Great Tang Prison for better places.”

Wow, indeed it’s like they scramble to die, Yuchi sighed: ”Are there still 118 women waiting for them?”

Li Changyi: ”...”

She dared not speak such words.

”Haha, then your fate is predictable. The Great Tang Prison will likely send people to kill you, but not simply; otherwise, if you die outside without my knowing, what can I do, Yuchi? Just a mere common man.”

”But if I dined with you and someone provoked me, then you acted and got killed, the blame would fall entirely on me, especially without today’s conversation; I’d be thoroughly implicated.”

”Then, under Great Tang Prison’s various threats, I’d probably end up as their dog.”

He chuckled.

Yuchi waved his hand, speaking to Li Changyi, who was clearly fearful: ”Don’t be afraid; I’m just joking. We have no proof, and I’m only considering the worst-case scenario where you die and unintentionally trap me, becoming the prison’s dog. But the worst doesn’t always happen.”

”Like when you go out for breakfast, the worst is getting struck by lightning. Could that happen? Of course, though it’s the worst; having an understanding helps.”

Yuchi’s example was considerate towards Li Changyi’s thoughts; the reality should be going out for breakfast, and the worst would be the shop coincidentally closed.

Compared to being struck by lightning, the shop closure is more logical and easily occurs, allowing for acceptance of what one least wants. Yuchi inwardly deemed Li Changyi’s fate sealed.

”So while it’s fresh...”

”Bah!”

”While you’re still alive, can you share your current stance? Are you really prepared to fight Tang Prison head-on, or just want to survive?” Yuchi asked with a smile.

How can you still laugh when I’m like this… Li Changyi was truly disturbed by Yuchi, sitting stiffly on the stool clutching her knees; she might be killed by Tang Prison, and yet Yuchi can still laugh?
