Yu ManLou fell silent. The things that Ling Tian had pointed out had struck him at his weakest points. Ling Tian’s words were undeniably extremely nasty to his ears and Yu ManLou almost passed out from anger after hearing them. He was angered to the point his body trembled and steam could be seen coming out from his head. However, he didn’t have any words to retort what Ling Tian had just said!
Yu ManLou had always placed all of his efforts into fighting for hegemony in the world. However, he had never thought about the problem of how many years he would be able to rule over the world after gaining hegemony of it.
If you only want to become an Emperor, that isn’t impossible at the moment.
Ling Tian said slowly and in a heartless manner. He then lifted up his finger and pointed at Yu ManLou before pointing at himself.
Both of us can definitely do so right now! We can ascend to the throne anytime we wish and become the ruler of an Empire. Even at this moment, we are no different from being the rulers of our respective empires! However, is being the ruler of a small Empire sufficient to satisfy our appetites?
What we want and what we are chasing after is to rule over the whole world!
Ling Tian said with resolution,
At the very least, we must rule over the Heavenly Star Continent!
Thus, I wanted to wait for you here today to have a conversation with you.
Ling Tian gave an amiable smile that looked extremely crafty but yet adorable.
I shall accept this conversation of yours.
Yu ManLou said slowly with a tinge of fatigue,
Can you finally say what you truly want?
After his initial anger, Yu ManLou had begun considering what Ling Tian had said with deep contemplation. While Ling Tian’s words were extremely nasty, Yu ManLou had no choice but to admit that Ling Tian’s words made a great deal of sense. Thus, Yu ManLou suppressed the anger in his heart so that he could also learn something from Ling Tian’s words. So far, the things that he had heard were not something that he was interested in.
However, the more this was the case, the more Yu ManLou was wary towards Ling Tian. Currently, Yu ManLou couldn’t help but feel a tinge of fear towards this teen in front of him! That’s right, fear! Such a feeling made Yu ManLou extremely frustrated in his heart! Apart from that one person from many years ago, he had never felt fear towards anyone else!
Before we begin talking, let me give you a piece of advice.
Ling Tian said with a cunning smile. From the start until now, his negotiation with Yu ManLou had been pretty successful. Now, it was the time for him to give Yu ManLou a condition that he wouldn’t be able to resist. Ling Tian was certain that there wasn’t a reason for Yu ManLou to reject his condition. Since his goal had already been reached, Ling Tian was no longer anxious.
What advice? Do you think any advice would be able to move me?
Yu ManLou looked extremely fatigued but his eyes were filled with malevolence and his tone had also turned soft. At this moment, Yu ManLou looked no different from a fatigued old man.
I recommend that you quickly find a few more wives and have them give birth to a son for you.
Ling Tian said with seriousness,
I heard that your eldest son had passed on already and as for your two remaining sons, I have previously met both of them. In all honesty, they are truly bad cement that can’t hold up a wall and dog meat that can’t be served at a banquet. I think that every time you think about how the world that you will reign over in future will be ruined by them, you will lose all of your motivation. Furthermore, if you don’t make any plans now, in just a few years it will be too late to do so. At that time, even if you have the heart to do so, you will no longer have the ability to do so.
Ling Tian chuckled after saying in a straightforward manner. In this world, he was probably the only person who would dare to talk to Yu ManLou as such without fearing Yu ManLou’s anger. Thus, Ling Tian couldn’t help but be filled with delight as he looked at Yu ManLou with a look of satisfaction, looking forward to the exasperated look on Yu ManLou’s face.
Asking the Family Head of the number one Family to take in a concubine! Only Ling Tian would have the guts to say such crazy words! However, Ling Tian only had the chance to let out two laughs before being unable to continue laughing.
Not only did Yu ManLou in front of him not have any anger, instead he looked as though he was seriously considering the matter with a look of temptation! At the same time, he even revealed a slight smile…
Fk! I was only making a casual remark… you can’t be truly tempted right?
Ling Tian pointed at Yu ManLou with a look of incredulity,
You are actually not angry?? I was asking you to…
Weren’t your words the truth? Why is there a need for me to be angry?
Yu ManLou suddenly raised his head,
Could it be that if I were to blow my top at this moment, both of my sons will be enlightened? Would they be able to become like you?
Yu ManLou said calmly,
As for your advice, it is truly a good one and I will consider the matter. After all, I have to consider the matter while I am still able.
Yu ManLou nodded his head,
Truly.
What the…
Ling Tian was completely speechless,
An old cow like you is really going to go and eat young grass? Are you not afraid of the world poking fun at your backbone? Are you not afraid… my goodness!
Ling Tian was completely speechless.
Yu ManLou said calmly,
Not only do I accept your advice, I have to thank you for it! This advice of yours is truly great. Even if I have the world in my hand, I can’t stop a degenerate son from losing it in a single night in a bet! I have been thinking about this matter for a very long time already, and after last night’s affair, even you have witnessed how my sons aren’t worthy of inheriting my accomplishments!
A cold light glowed in Yu ManLou’s eyes,
This is their nature and it is impossible to change them. Thus, I can accept this advice of yours, and I have a good twenty years to groom an outstanding successor! Am I right?
Ling Tian slapped his forehead and was completely speechless. He even had the urge to slap his own lips for their ridiculous words!
The negotiation between the both of them was already going his way and he wanted to have some fun by teasing Yu ManLou. However, he never imagined that he would dig a hole for himself, and a casual word of advice actually gave Yu ManLou a huge hint!
The matter that happened last night had undoubtedly given Yu ManLou an extremely huge blow. Especially when he compared Ling Tian’s excellence to his sons’ worthlessness, Yu ManLou couldn’t help but be filled with a strong sense of defeat. It wouldn’t matter if they were profligates in the past. However, they had actually attempted to kill each other and resorted to unscrupulous means! This was something that Yu ManLou was unable to accept. When he had first heard Ling Tian’s advice, Yu ManLou almost erupted with rage. However, as Ling Tian’s words grew nastier, Yu ManLou also felt that they made more and more sense.
I have yet to turn fifty and I still have the heart and strength to fight for hegemony and groom a new successor!
Looking at Ling Tian, Yu ManLou smiled,
To ensure that the thousand-year-old heritage of the Yu Family can shine in this old man’s hands and be handed down to the future generations, so what if I become the laughingstock of the world?! Could it be that the world would curse me less if I don’t do this matter? Furthermore, as long as a man has the heart and the strength, why can’t I find a wife and have some children?!
Ling Tian rolled his eyes and said weakly,
Giving birth to a son isn’t the main point. The main point is that you will have to groom him properly! If you end up grooming another profligate son, it would be better for you to not give birth to anyone.
This conversation with you today is truly a wonderful affair. I have truly gained some wonderful advice.
Yu ManLou agreed with a bright smile,
This old man agrees that the greatest mistake in my life was to not discipline those few brats properly. If I have more children in the future, I will definitely not make the same mistake.
He then looked at Ling Tian with a smile,
You don’t have to worry about that, I will definitely take care of the matter properly.
What am I worried about? Fk! Ling Tian couldn’t help but grow depressed and had the urge to bang his head on the wall. What did I just say? Did I give him good advice?! Is he the fool or am I the fool?!
Although he was thinking that in his heart, Ling Tian also couldn’t help but feel admiration towards Yu ManLou! In the world, how many of the leading figures would be able to listen to someone else’s advice with such humility? Even though he was obviously trying to play Yu ManLou as a fool, Yu ManLou was still able to recognize his flaw and admit it! Furthermore, he was admitting his flaws to his biggest enemy!
Yu ManLou’s breadth of mind made Ling Tian’s heart turn chilly. In Ling Tian’s heart, Yu ManLou’s position was also being constantly altered.
Yu ManLou looked at Ling Tian with a cold gaze,
What else do you want to say? Why not let the cat out of the bag? I don’t believe that you only have this single advice right?
Ling Tian revealed a smile of admiration and also adjusted his emotions before saying,
The battle between the Yu and Shui Family is starting in less than two and a half years right?
Yu ManLou smiled,
This is something that the whole world knows. Is there anything special about that?
Ling Tian said in a low voice,
My deal with Justice only lasts for half a year and the deal is almost half done. If I die unluckily in the hands of Justice, then you can just ignore all of my words. But if I am lucky enough to be alive, I hope to have a deal with Family Head Yu.
What deal?
Yu ManLou could already guess what Ling Tian was about to say and revealed a trace of interest.
Ling Tian smiled,
I believe that Family Head Yu wouldn’t be willing to spend years or even decades to fight wars over the continent right? This advice of mine would be to reduce the time it takes for us to capture the continent to ten years or less!
Ling Tian threw out his bait.
He wasn’t afraid that Yu ManLou wouldn’t take the bait! He was less than twenty and had plenty of time to wait and waste. However, Yu ManLou didn’t have that time.
What’s your plan?
Yu ManLou’s gaze turned sharp.
Ling Tian raised five fingers and waved them around,
Five years! For the next five years, I will not find trouble with you and you are not to seek trouble with me either. Both of us, one north and one south or one east and one west, will split the continent into two. Half of it will go to me, and the other half will go to you. At that time, both of our families will face each other in an all-out war and the continent will belong to the victor. As for who should be in charge of which half, you can be the one to decide that.
Ling Tian chuckled, and rivers of blood could be seen in his eyes.
However, if any party isn’t able to complete their end of the deal, they will have to admit defeat and submit to the victor!
Ling Tian’s words were as though they were two kids having a little bet. If you win, this glass ball will belong to you. If you lose, this glass ball will belong to me. It was that simple.
