Chapter 854: Just That Little Hobby
Wang Lei's face showed a trace of deep fatigue, shaking his head, he said, "You understand me. If that day truly comes, I actually don't want to help anyone. I just want to live the carefree life I desire."
Yang Fei nodded.
He understood Wang Lei, knowing that this person's character was actually somewhat similar to Qin Yanyang's, willing to throw caution to the wind for the sake of justice in his heart.
Without waiting for Yang Fei to speak, Wang Lei continued, "To say something from the heart that I'm not afraid for you to know, if that day really comes, I'd rather hope you wholeheartedly assist Qin Yanyang."
Yang Fei laughed heartily, "What I'm doing now is to be able to help her one day in the future. But her way of doing things is too risky, without a strong force backing her, she could easily lose control."
Wang Lei nodded, "That's right, although she is selfless, righteous, wholeheartedly for this country and nation, many won't understand, even consider her to be autocratic and arrogant, and as long as someone secretly seduces and incites, there will be no shortage of opposition and betrayal against her."
Yang Fei shook his head, "No, the possibility of those people betraying her is only one, it's not because she's selfless, nor because she's autocratic and arrogant, but because she views the interests of the country and nation above all else, and this causes many people to lose their interests."
Wang Lei pondered for a while, nodded, "Exactly, similar to those Gate Valve Clans that appeared in the secular dynasties of the Divine Continent."
"Right, it's a special era now. If you want everyone to support you, having high prestige and a good reputation won't do, what truly matters is the distribution of benefits. You must let them gain enough benefits, only then will they play the game with you," Yang Fei laughed.
Wang Lei gave a bitter smile, "So, in essence, in any era, it's the group who has absolute power that sets the game rules. They're the ones playing this big game."
Yang Fei and Tong Yunshu nodded in silence.
That's the true nature of the human world.
The young dragon slayer would become the new dragon. Perhaps not necessarily evil, but a dragon is still a dragon, standing at the top of the food chain, prioritizing the possession and enjoyment of more resources.
Those who genuinely care for the ordinary masses are called idealists; even if they come to power, they can't stay long.
That's the reality.
The current global situation is once again facing a redistribution of resources.
However, it's no longer just the secular major powers redistributing resources, but also includes powerful forces like the Hidden Sect, Heaven, and the Penglai Realm.
This chapter was made possible by the community at MV|LEM|PYR.
Earth's resources are limited, but the partitioners have increased.
Therefore, the future will only become more difficult for the ordinary people.
The more he thought, the heavier his mood became, so Wang Lei simply stopped thinking, shaking his head, he said to Yang Fei, "My wife is pregnant, I'm about to be a father."
Yang Fei was stunned for a moment, then rejoiced, "Really? That's great. Congratulations, Brother Lei."
Tong Yunshu also sincerely offered her congratulations.
Wang Lei displayed a happy smile, "Thank you."
Yang Fei laughed, "So for your wife, and for the sake of your future child living a stable and affluent life, you can't stop moving forward, you must make a choice, right?"
Wang Lei shook his head helplessly, then nodded heavily, sighing, "I finally truly understand the phrase: 'In the Martial Arts World, one is not entirely free to do as they wish.'
Yang Fei nodded, "True, where there are people, there is the Martial Arts World. Everyone can choose their own way of life, but once you blend in with the crowd, there are too many things beyond your control. If you don't consider yourself, you must consider those around you. If it were just me, I would be more than happy to live freely with Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu, but there are too many things Qin Yanyang can't let go off, and I worry about her, so I can only do some things beyond my control."
Wang Lei nodded heavily, "Since there's no choice, let's work together and strive to do our best."
Yang Fei burst out laughing, "With us brothers teaming up, there's nothing we can't accomplish."
Wang Lei left, leaving behind a reassuring promise for Yang Fei.
Only Tong Yunshu and Yang Fei were left in the room. Tong Yunshu gazed at Yang Fei with sparkling eyes, "This is the first time I see ambition in you. Ambitious men are really charming, really handsome."
Yang Fei tapped her nose, laughed, "By that logic, I wasn't charming or handsome to you before?"
Tong Yunshu laughed, "You were handsome and charming before too, but not as much as now."
Yang Fei laughed, "But I'm half a cripple now."
Tong Yunshu immediately shook her head, "From now on, you're not allowed to speak of yourself that way. I believe you'll definitely get better."
"What if I never get better?"
"If you don't get better, then you don't get better. I wouldn't despise you," Tong Yunshu said.
Yang Fei drew her into his arms, whispering, "I know my ambition now is the kind you've always wanted to see in me. You want me to be stronger than Qin Yanyang, so I can suppress her, but actually, I've never cared about that. If she's strong, I'll be happy, if she's weak, I'll go protect her. So what I'm doing now is also for a better future to protect her."
Tong Yunshu turned her head and gently bit Yang Fei's shoulder, nodding, "I know, I'm not a fool."
"Could you stop competing and bickering with her?" Yang Fei said.
Tong Yunshu pouted, "She always sees me as the third party, looks down on me, targets me."
Yang Fei's mouth twitched.
It really was like that.
To Qin Yanyang, Tong Yunshu was just the other woman, the vixen seducing her husband into having an affair.
"But you're a bit older than her and got me first, so why don't you let her have a little more?"
"Are you saying I'm old?" Tong Yunshu asked pitifully, her expression extremely aggrieved.
Yang Fei was startled and quickly explained, "No, I definitely didn't mean that."
"You do think I'm old."
"Heaven and earth as witnesses, I can swear, I absolutely never meant you're old, and I actually like someone older than me. They're more caring, gentle, and don't throw tantrums, in that aspect, you are much better than her."
"Hmph, with you saying that, I can't even get angry now." Tong Yunshu rolled her eyes at Yang Fei, poked his forehead with her finger, "As if I don't know, you just want to embrace both worlds and enjoy the blessing of having both."
Yang Fei's intentions were laid bare, and he awkwardly chuckled but didn't hide it from Tong Yunshu, grunting, "That's right, that's exactly what I'm thinking."
I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table.
I'm grabbing both ends, leaving none behind.
I don't care about power or status, I just have this one hobby, and when it comes to women, I absolutely can't compromise.
Wait, why is Immortal Yan, you demoness, popping into my head as well?
And Sister Xuanyu, Monica.
I... damn!
Could it be that I, Yang Fei, am inherently a scumbag, why do all these messy thoughts suddenly pop into my mind?
No, I absolutely can't let Yanyang's wife find out, or the sky will fall.
While he was lost in these thoughts, Hu Lizhong's voice came from outside, "Brother Yang, Li Xuanyu and Monica from the Li Family's Financial Group and the Cavendish family have arrived outside the valley, requesting to see you."
