And "whip and sugar" must be used well. Its effect can make ordinary people more loyal than honest people. It can make already loyal people even more loyal, even to the point of foolish loyalty.
First of all, there are two conditions for using a whip well: one is "pain", and the second is "comfort".
"It hurts" is to tell the other party, to warn the other party not to have any evil thoughts, because "it hurts". Ye Feng did this. Ye Feng told the sword spirit with his actions that I can kill you anytime and anywhere. I want to rely on myself and Jiang Yu. Soul fusion, and let Ye Feng throw a rat weapon, Ye Feng will show you in person how ridiculous your so-called rat weapon is in Ye Feng's eyes.
"Submit" means to let the other party know that he is not a tyrant who whips you at will, but a fair and wise king. It is you who have done something wrong and you should be punished. It is very important to be fair and just. Only this can ensure that the other party is "convinced" without accumulating resentment. Otherwise, as long as it is unfair, no matter how light the whip is, it can leave great resentment. It has nothing to do with the severity of the whipping, but because those who should be whipped are not punished, and those who should not be whipped are whipped. No matter how hard the whipping is, it cannot change the fact that it is unfair. The fact that it is unfair is the source of resentment, and it has nothing to do with the strength of the whip. Otherwise, just think about where the idiom "accumulated resentment turns into hatred" comes from, and why resentment should be "accumulated". It is because the resentment is small enough and accumulated from ordinary injustices. If it is big enough, it should be "pile". And if this is not solved, he will definitely rebel one day, and there is no way to make up for this with sugar, he can only rely on the whip himself
But if you want to "whip" those who are wronged, I will give more "sugar", and those who are flattered will be given less, and "sugar" will be used to achieve reverse unfairness to achieve overall fairness. Yes, no problem, but what you lose is the prestige that a whip wielder should have. In the eyes of others, you are just a partial "peacemaker", and this has long been contrary to the original intention of "whip and candy" to build prestige. Because reward is reward, punishment is punishment, and prestige only exists between rewards and punishments.
Ye Feng also did this. I killed you because you hurt Jiang Yu. I have already repaid you for helping me before I kill you. I have never been wronged or anything like that.
In terms of sugar, Ye Feng gave him just the right amount. Now the Sword Spirit has already reached the level of True Immortal Realm and will survive forever. Those mixed souls are the Sword Spirit's biggest worry at the moment, and they are also maggots in the tarsus that the Sword Spirit cannot get rid of. . As the saying goes, "The way of heaven is ruthless." Being ruthless means being selfless and fair. You relied on these mixed soul powers to gain the strength to attack the True Immortal Tribulation. Now becoming a True Immortal is like burning a bridge in a river. It's a beautiful thought. Therefore, the sword spirit has been disturbed, infected and corroded by miscellaneous souls, and has to enter a sleeping state to reduce the rate of corrosion until a solution can be found. Naturally, there is no time to bewitch Jiang Yu.
Now Ye Feng has given Sword Spirit all the "candy" he wants most, and he paid for it in advance. Ye Feng is such an idiot! Do you think so?
Suddenly the sword spirit glared angrily, but still did not dare to move, because he knew that he could say but not move, and roared: "What did you do to my soul!"
Ye Feng just sneered, looked at Sword Spirit with the eyes of an idiot, and said: "Have you ever seen an employee who was paid a year's salary in advance before even showing up for work? Aren't you afraid that the employee will take the money and run away? Such a sweet boss? It would be fine if the employees were honest people with no bad deeds, but you have already demonstrated your betrayal in front of me on the spot."
Ye Feng paused for a moment and looked deeply at the sword spirit: "Am I the one who just wanted to devour Jiang Yu's soul and has already begun to devour it?"
This time the sword spirit was not oppressed by Ye Feng's power and still lowered his head out of shame. He knew that he should be content with being alive until now, and he was not qualified to negotiate terms.
Ye Feng continued: "I helped you solve the miscellaneous souls, so naturally I have to leave a backup plan. The mark I left in the depths of your soul is the first series of "exclusive" levels. No one can solve it except me. If you don't If you still have a rebellious heart, this mark will not only not cause any discomfort or harm to you, but will also be of great benefit to you in improving your soul power."
Suddenly Ye Feng smiled, his smile was very cold, making the sword spirit feel extremely chilled: "As for what will happen if you rebel again, I don't want to tell you now, after all, words are powerless, but I look forward to you experiencing it yourself. oh."
Ye Feng said: "As for returning to the Sword World, I have my own way. After all, in the near future, I will go to the Sword World to get something as a meeting gift to meet my old friend Qingkong who has forgotten me at this moment. Don't you believe it? ?”
Sword Spirit said: "No, I believe that you can peel off the soul that has been fused for many years in the body of Sword Spirit. This is absolutely impossible. There is probably nothing impossible for you in this world."
"You can move now, then"
Ye Feng suddenly smiled and said: "Senior Sword Spirit, what's your answer?"
Sword Spirit knelt on the ground for a long time, and finally stood up. His eyes returned to calmness. No, to be precise, he became as clear and calm as he had never seen before. After all, there were no other souls invading his mind at this moment.
"Boy Ye, do you think I still have a choice?"
Ye Feng smiled and said: "Of course, after all, you are Jian Jingyu, the younger brother of my best friend Jian Qingkong, aren't you?"
Jian Jingyu was startled, and after a moment he said: "That's right, you can have a close relationship with my eldest brother, it's impossible that you don't know my name, and it's impossible that you don't recognize my appearance. I was really confused before. But that's okay. There is no way, after all, I even forgot who I was just now."
It is also for this reason that Jian Jingyu is so impulsive that Jian Qingkong will die.
Ye Feng smiled and said: "You are indeed somewhat similar to him at this moment."
Suddenly Jian Jingyu suddenly understood and understood most of the key points: "From the beginning, your goal was the ending at this moment, right?"
Ye Feng said: "Exactly"
Jian Jingyu said: "But in that case, you must make an appointment or collude with Jiang Yu in advance. When did you two collude under my nose?"
Ye Feng smiled and said: "The tacit understanding between Jiang Yu and I is enough to achieve the Yin people's unified plan with just one look, without any prior collusion."
Jian Jingyu cursed: "You two insidious guys are really working together, especially you, Mr. Ye, you are the most insidious one."
Ye Feng smiled and said: "Senior is so complimentary."
"Go away, I'm not praising you!"
Ye Feng looked at Jiang Yu next to him with an innocent face and said, "I think I must not have cleaned up the impurities in my soul just now. He is talking nonsense again."
Jiang Yu added: "Old Ye, I think the senior is already very clear-minded. As a normal person, no one would not think that you are the most sinister."
"Fuck"
