Has this matter been settled? Ye Tiancheng returned to the village. For him, there was nothing to worry about now that he had conquered those he needed to. However, what happened next made Ye Tiancheng realize that things were not as good as he had imagined.
At the very least, he had now fallen into a very troublesome situation because he had offended someone with considerable influence. There was no need to think about what kind of difficulties this person would cause him in the future.
Not everything might be perfect, but under certain circumstances, some things become like one's destiny. Ye Tiancheng's heart was filled with complex thoughts about those things.
“Do I really have to become that kind of person?” Ye Tiancheng kept smiling bitterly in his heart.
Perhaps, at this moment, he heard someone standing beside the hostage. It was Dao Ba.
“When did you appear before me, kid? I didn’t ask you to appear!” Ye Tiancheng looked at Dao Ba unhappily, feeling that his appearance made him very displeased.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng’s gaze towards him was filled with a killing aura.
“This kid!” Seeing him, Ye Tiancheng delivered a kick.
“Master, I want to tell you that this kid is not a good person.” Before Dao Ba could tell Ye Tiancheng this, Ye Tiancheng already knew that Huang Dehua was not a good person. However, he had to make this not-so-good person angry, because Ye Tiancheng was a very formidable person. As someone with a golden finger, he could step on others and gain the upper hand.
Therefore, in Ye Tiancheng's view, this guy had to be crushed underfoot.
“So what about Huang Dehua? As long as I’m unhappy, I can kill him!” A fierce killing intent appeared on Ye Tiancheng’s face.
In this killing intent, Dao Ba suddenly felt an unprecedented murderous aura.
“The industries here have reached the next stage. How should we build new industries?” Dao Ba asked.
Ye Tiancheng shook his head and said, “I don’t know. We’ll talk about future matters in the future.”
Ye Tiancheng’s answer was very clear and domineering. Despite Dao Ba’s dissatisfaction with these clear and domineering words, he had no choice but to obey Ye Tiancheng’s decision because he had no way to refute it and could only follow Ye Tiancheng’s wishes.
“Just watch carefully. You are not allowed to have any opinions!” Ye Tiancheng’s words were telling him that these matters were not his concern; he should just take care of himself.
This guy was very angry at this moment. When this anger was conveyed, it was no longer a thought of absolute obedience. Although he hated Ye Tiancheng, he dared not show it in front of Ye Tiancheng.
At this moment, Hou Xiaozhu arrived. She walked gracefully, wearing a beautiful chiffon dress. “A woman adorns herself for the one who pleases her.” This saying was indeed true.
However, Ye Tiancheng seemed uninterested in women at the moment. He turned and left. Seeing Ye Tiancheng disappear in a flash, Hou Xiaozhu felt very dejected and unhappy. Despite her unhappiness and dejection, there was nothing she could do. After all, many things were no longer as beautiful as she had imagined. All of this had begun to make people feel a little uncomfortable. Time began to change with everything, and everything began to become clearer.
“This kind of guy… is truly not good!” Hou Xiaozhu saw Ye Tiancheng disappear in a flash, and her heart was almost broken. But there was nothing she could do. After all, he did whatever he wanted. For her, she could not leave any deep impression on this man’s heart.
No matter what, the matter had come to an end. So, he should be able to calmly do what he wanted, right?
Just as Ye Tiancheng ran to the back mountain, the Divine Stone laughed inside Ye Tiancheng’s body, “Why are you afraid of women? In my impression, you are not this kind of person!”
“It’s not that, whether it is or not, it doesn’t matter. What matters is how much can be persisted in afterward?” A bitter expression appeared on his face. Perhaps, after a certain point, many things made it impossible to understand, let alone recall how complex his inner world was.
“Is it because you were scared by that woman Hou Mingzhu? So you seem very timid when it comes to women?”
“Yes.” Ye Tiancheng couldn’t help but feel amused and exasperated. Honestly, it was better to take some things lightly. As for marriage, he never thought about it. The shadow of one woman had already formed a pressure within his heart. This pressure would affect his entire life.
Perhaps it was because he was worried that everything would soften after some time, but what he expected did not happen. Instead, it formed an indelible obstacle in his heart.
“Of course, it’s not right.” He heard that guy say to Ye Tiancheng with a sinister smile.
Facing such mockery, Ye Tiancheng had only one thought: to go forward and kick him.
“I didn’t expect you to be so evil!”
“I think it’s a matter of mutual understanding, isn’t it?” Ye Tiancheng smiled at the Divine Stone. “Sometimes I wonder, what is the point of living?”
“Of course, it is for what you want to achieve. Whether this matter is right or wrong, it is not a good thing for you, is it?”
“Exactly!” Ye Tiancheng sighed deeply. “Facing such a situation, I really don’t know how to face it…”
“Then don’t face it. Just let it develop.”
“Just let it develop?” Ye Tiancheng’s face was filled with bewilderment. He didn’t know what these things meant to him. In fact, he was overthinking. These things were not scary to him at all. As a man who had been overshadowed in terms of emotions, wouldn’t this cut off his worldly ties?
Before, he had told himself that he must do what he wanted to do well.
Marriage, children, wealth, and honor.
This goal was not a bad thing for Ye Tiancheng.
But after experiencing many things, he would gradually see the impermanence of the world and the brevity of life.
There was only one way to live forever – to cultivate and become an immortal.
The saying about immortals was ethereal and illusory, making them seem non-existent.
Such thoughts were undoubtedly futile, but once they formed in Ye Tiancheng’s heart, and he had grasped his own destiny, nothing else mattered. The most important thing was what role he should play in such an environment and how he should transcend these limits…
“So what will you do next?” asked the Nuwa Stone.
Ye Tiancheng shook his head and said, “Just watch the scenery in the back mountain.”
Actually, he didn’t know what to do either. He felt very empty.
In such an environment, his mood became very bad. It was inevitable that he would be controlled by some emotion… After all, his current situation had seriously diverged from those guys.
At this moment, the darkness he possessed within his heart was more than anything else.
A person could be dark, but not too dark.
When one thing develops, another thing will immediately disappear. No matter how powerfully you try to hold onto it, it will say goodbye to you.
“Perhaps only by cultivating to become an immortal can the passage of life be solved…” Ye Tiancheng suddenly became somewhat lost. Facing Ye Tiancheng’s bewilderment, the Nuwa Stone chuckled, “As your Divine Stone, I naturally have to help you fulfill your wish. Only when you ascend to the heavenly realm can I ascend to the heavenly realm.”
“Your words are really making me feel a bit unbearable!”
“Although these words are very unbearable, you still need to accept them as the correct choice, because you have no other choice…” the Nuwa Stone said to Ye Tiancheng.
After hearing these words, Ye Tiancheng suddenly seemed to have an epiphany.
With no other option, he could only accept reality. He now understood what permanent life meant to him, so he eagerly wished to become a very powerful person. At times, his mood would become complicated with these things.
If he didn’t have these troubles, Ye Tiancheng would at least become very smooth and happy. But as it was now, his mood was indeed filled with garbage.
He needed to find a place to calm himself down.
Ye Tiancheng liked the back mountain the most because there were two bodies he had thrown down the cliff.
These two people were still at the bottom of the cliff, being gnawed by snakes, rats, insects, and ants, and exposed to the sun and moon. Just thinking about the miserable state of those guys, some inhuman thoughts actually arose in his heart. This might be a thought that only a great pervert like Ye Tiancheng would have.
If it were anyone else, they would have been scared out of their wits.
Even Empress Wu Zetian, after killing Consort Xiao and Empress Wang, would be startled every night.
Why was this?
It was because of a guilty conscience.
But Ye Tiancheng no longer cared. He was used to the unaccustomed habits and had understood the incomprehensible. Everything in front of him now belonged to the part that could be discarded.
“Is a person who has shed their human nature a free person? Don’t you think so, Nuwa Stone?”
“Please call me Divine Stone. How many times have I told you this? You must respect me.” After Ye Tiancheng said this, the Nuwa Stone’s mood became unpleasant. Honestly, he should abide by the relationship between them.
But this guy didn’t feel anything important. He just felt like a big idiot.
“I think you should reflect on yourself. This place is full of past events that are hard to look back on. Why do you like this place so much?”
“Because I killed them, and I get a sense of accomplishment here.” Ye Tiancheng looked at the cliff below, and a sense of accomplishment arose in his heart.
The Nuwa Stone felt that Ye Tiancheng’s normal reaction should be to turn pale, trembling all over. But all the laws of the human world seemed to have no effect on him.
A person like him was already completely dark inside.
Perhaps by giving up the bonds of being human, one becomes infinitely free.
He meditated here for an hour. The next day, the sun rose from the east… This bright sunlight elevated people’s hearts. After gaining some feelings, Ye Tiancheng completely changed. He changed to the point that even the Nuwa Stone didn’t know what kind of changes were happening in his heart.
“Bright sunshine! Today is destined to be a good harvest.” Just then, Ye Tiancheng received a call. It was from Huang Dehua. He didn’t know, but seeing a very unfamiliar number, he felt very strange. After answering, the person on the other end spoke. https:/
“The base station construction is complete. Do you have any instructions, sir?” At this time, Ye Tiancheng realized that the voice on the phone was Huang Dehua’s.
“Were you slacking off last night? You could have finished if you had worked a little overtime, but you insisted on delaying it until today! What a bunch of useless trash!”
Huang Dehua felt unbalanced after hearing this.
After all, these words should not have come from Ye Tiancheng’s mouth. In a sense, Ye Tiancheng should have said, “Thank you for your hard work!”
But he didn’t say that, which was one of the reasons why that guy couldn’t let go.
He said subserviently to Ye Tiancheng, “I was wrong. I’ll urge them!”
“You scoundrel, you were wrong in the first place, and this is undeniable. Now you’re telling me so much, aren’t you looking for death?”
Ye Tiancheng’s eyes revealed a strong desire to kill this guy, so his tone became very unfriendly when he spoke.
This was mainly because he really wanted to kill this guy. That was why the other party felt Ye Tiancheng’s immense pressure and killing intent.
Before, no one had ever dared to say such things to Huang Dehua, unless he wanted to die.
Even Dao Ba had been subdued by Ye Tiancheng. What was he? He was nothing.
Therefore, this directly caused his mental breakdown.
In the face of overwhelming power, the weak could only obey.
Although these things were caused by helplessness, there was nothing that could be done. After all, many things were already like that, so what else could be done to do this matter well?
When there was no other way, many things could only be completed at once.
Perhaps, it was precisely because Ye Tiancheng was unreasonable that the complexity of the problem became increasingly more baffling, making people think he had a screw loose.
At this moment, Hou Xiaozhu arrived.
How did she know Ye Tiancheng was on the cliff? The stone inside Ye Tiancheng’s body found it incredible.
Hou Xiaozhu’s appearance made Ye Tiancheng feel surprised.
“How did you know I was here?” Ye Tiancheng looked at her in surprise and said.
“Because there were strange clouds in the sky above you here.”
“Really?” Ye Tiancheng didn’t believe such nonsense at all.
“Hmm? Have breakfast. The food here is very good.” Her eyes were full of anticipation.
Ye Tiancheng didn’t expect that her bringing him breakfast this time truly made him feel a lot of good feelings. This feeling instantly gave him a sense of happiness. Sometimes, such a life was not bad. For him, some things would gradually change his life, and because of this change, his mood had changed quite a bit recently.
“So… not all women are bad. There are too few women like He Minzhu. You’ve just gotten stuck in a rut and can’t extricate yourself.”
He naturally understood these words, but it was much easier said than done. Therefore, for him, he had become accustomed to too many things that he was not used to. Ultimately, for these things, he might have to pay a great price.
Such a price for everyone.
It was different, and it was this feeling that gave people many thoughts.
“Then let’s do this. Put those things in front of us and start eating.”
However, speaking of which, this place was indeed good, but that was for Hou Xiaozhu. Ye Tiancheng knew that bad things had happened here, so his mood became different from hers. The reason for this different thought was entirely because of what he would do later, and what he would become, which was completely unpredictable. After experiencing this matter, the reason why he became so indifferent and thoughtful was entirely because he wanted to change his future actions. Everyone should become more suitable for this society and everything that humanity possessed, the positive aspects…
“What are you thinking about?” Hou Xiaozhu saw Ye Tiancheng’s expression and wanted to know what he was thinking.
Ye Tiancheng did not speak but looked at Hou Xiaozhu calmly. After a long, long time, she said, “Nothing, I just want to eat. By the way… do you have any suggestions for the development of our village recently?”
“You are too wealthy, and everyone else still doesn’t have much money. If you are rich and unkind, many people will speak ill of you behind your back. I think what you should do is share more of your profits with the villagers so that they can truly benefit. They won’t gossip about you behind your back.”
“These guys are incapable themselves, yet they talk. If I have money, it’s mine, and it has nothing to do with anyone else.” People don’t need to think about it in their hearts, but they won’t say it out loud. After all, being rich and unkind is indeed a bad thing. Everyone wants to get something for nothing and gain the greatest benefit in these other aspects. It was the same when he didn’t have money at first. Therefore, considering human nature, it was natural to think this way.
“I will also consider your suggestions, but do you have a strategy on how to proceed?”
“No, such a major matter still requires you to make the decision. I’m just stating my opinion.” Hou Xiaozhu felt that how could she make the decision for him?
Many things had already caused him a lot of burdens and pressures. What kind of things these burdens and pressures would form, it had already become a mystery to him.
Because of this matter, what kind of burden and consequences it would bring to him, he had never thought much about.
“Then let’s eat first. I’ll think about things later.” Actually, Ye Tiancheng didn’t have any better ways to benefit these villagers now, because he was also short of money. As his career was just starting, he needed money for everything. Therefore, these villagers should be understanding, rather than thinking of taking advantage of him just because he had money.
