"That's natural, because your purposes are different, and the answers you get are naturally different!" Cheng Yu said with a smile.
Anyway, he didn't think Tianxue and Tianxing would come to them for such a thing. It had nothing to do with them.
Whether it is made public or not, they are just disciples participating in the competition.
But for a leader, what they have to consider is definitely different. They will care about the purpose of the Cheng family's actions.
Now that Tianxue and Tianxing came here to ask about their purpose, it was obviously more likely that Yu Lingzi wanted to know.
Moreover, even if Yu Lingzi really didn't want to know, he could still test the two people.
However, judging from the subtle expressions of the two people just now, he was basically certain that it was indeed Yu Lingzi who asked them to inquire.
"What purpose can we have? We just want to know why you do this!" Tianxue said.
"Since that is what you are asking, the answer I will give you is that our Cheng family has disclosed its strength to the outside world for so many years. Everyone has a general understanding of the strength of our Cheng family, and the necessary deterrence has almost worked. .
And our Cheng family will only become stronger and stronger in the future. I don’t want too many people to know how strong the Cheng family is.
This is to protect the Cheng family and all your sects from letting outsiders know all the details of our Cheng family. "Cheng Yu said.
"Senior brother, is it that simple?" Tianxing asked.
He could completely understand this answer.
In the past, when there was no chaos in the world of cultivation, their own sects would hold small competitions every year, and even the top ten sects would hold a big competition every ten years.
Like the competition between the ten sects, it is absolutely open to the public, because the purpose of holding such a competition is to show the strength of the sect to outsiders.
But for example, their own sect's competitions are basically not open to the public. Sometimes the leader may invite some friends to watch the game, but in general, the sect's competitions are not open to the public.
Because basically all the disciples of the sect will come on stage to show their strength, so if it is made public, all the strength of the entire sect will be exposed.
But a competition like the Ten Sects only involves selecting the best disciples from each sect to show up.
These disciples represent the general level of a sect, but they do not represent all the strength of the entire sect.
Furthermore, by selecting these outstanding disciples for competition, not only would outsiders not be able to see how strong a sect's overall strength was, but these outstanding disciples would also prove to outsiders how powerful their sect was.
Therefore, every sect is happy to participate in this kind of thing that kills two birds with one stone. After all, there is only such an opportunity in ten years.
But in recent years, the Cheng family has held a competition every two years.
Moreover, the Cheng family competition did not select a few outstanding disciples for the competition, but all disciples from the Cheng family's forces signed up for the competition on their own, such as the lower sects of the Tianshan sect.
The disciples who signed up from all forces first competed individually to select the outstanding disciples of their own sect, and then these outstanding disciples competed with the disciples of other sects.
If such a large-scale competition is kept open to the public, the strength of not only the Cheng family, but also the various subordinate sects of the Cheng family will be exposed.
It's okay to show off once in a while, but if it is made public like this for many years, I believe everyone will know the strength of each force clearly. This is very dangerous for a force.
Therefore, Cheng Yu gave them such an answer, which was indeed reasonable and completely understandable, because he was indeed protecting the Cheng family and all forces.
"Then what if our master uncle came to ask you?" Tianxue asked.
Although she was not dissatisfied with the Cheng family's answer, according to Cheng Yu's previous meaning, it was obvious that there was another answer to this question.
And she did come to ask Cheng Yu on behalf of the head master, so she naturally wanted another answer.
"Since it's your master uncle who wants to know, then naturally he has to ask it himself." Cheng Yu shook his head and said.
"Cheng Yu, how are you? Can't you tell me?" Tianxue said angrily.
She felt that Cheng Yu clearly did it on purpose.
He clearly knew that he was asking for the master's uncle, but he still did it. This was obviously to embarrass her on purpose.
"I'm not joking with you. As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you will not seek to govern. This matter has nothing to do with you. Since he wants to know, then you let him ask himself.
He, the leader, didn't dare to ask, but he let you two ask. Didn't he just think that the relationship between us is good, so he asked you to come here to talk to me?
Some things are not as simple as you think. Since this matter has nothing to do with you, you'd better not get involved.
I say this because I treat you two as my brothers and sisters. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even tell them the first answer.
So you yourselves must understand that there are some things that are not your business, and don’t interfere casually, because this is not just as simple as asking a question, do you understand? Cheng Yu looked at Tianxue and said seriously.
"Senior brother, don't be angry. Senior sister and I also saw that the head master was so sad and just wanted to help him. We had no other intentions!" Tianxing explained quickly, fearing that Cheng Yu might misunderstand.
"I'm not angry, I just said it, because I treat you as my brothers and sisters, that's why I'm telling you this.
But there are some things that you really shouldn't get involved in. If your master uncle really wants to know, then let him do it himself.
Since he doesn't dare to come himself, let him not think too much about it. As long as your Tianshan sect remains the subordinate sect of my Cheng family, then the safety of your Tianshan sect will be under the control of my Cheng family, and he doesn't need to worry so much.
If his sorrow is just because he has other plans that he shouldn't have, then you should tell him to think clearly first.
People die for money, and birds die for food. What I, Cheng Yu, hate most is betrayal. Don't do anything that I can't forgive. Not everything can be undone.
In that case, even if you two plead for mercy, it will not work. Just bring him the exact words I said, and the rest is up to him. "Cheng Yu said.
He didn't know why Yu Lingzi was worried about this. Maybe he knew something he shouldn't know.
But this is not important, what he cares about is the loyalty of their Tianshan sect as a subordinate sect.
If there was no loyalty, then even if Tianxue and Tianxing were there, he would not mind directly annexing the Tianshan Sect.
That's the kind of person he is.
Because of Tianxue and Tianxing, he can take care of the Tianshan Sect, but taking care of it does not mean letting go.
If the Tianshan Sect really thinks that Tianxue and Tianxing can use this relationship with him to make profits for the Tianshan Sect, then Yu Lingzi is wrong.
This in itself is two different things.
He has a brotherly relationship with Tianxue and Tianxing, but his relationship with the Tianshan Sect is a master-servant relationship, which is not the same thing at all.
So Yu Lingzi sent these two people to the Cheng family to inquire about the news, which was obviously a miscalculation.
"Senior brother, thank you, we will bring your senior brother's words to your uncle!" Tianxing was very grateful for Cheng Yu's sincere confession.
He knew that what Cheng Yu said was true. As disciples, they should not interfere in matters between sects because they had no decision-making power at all.
Obviously, there are many things they don't understand.
Thinking about the sad expression on the head master's uncle's face at that time, one can indeed see that things here are by no means that simple.
Just like Cheng Yu said, with their status, they really shouldn't get involved in this. After all, they don't know the cause and effect at all.
"If you have nothing else to do, go back!" Cheng Yu said.
"Okay senior brother, let's go back first!" Tian Xing took Tian Xue and prepared to return to Tianshan Sect.
Senior Brother Cheng Yu is already extremely benevolent and righteous, so they can't make things difficult for others. That would be too disrespectful.
"Cheng Yu, you just said that you treat us as brothers and sisters, don't you have any other feelings for me?" But Tianxue was pulled away a few steps, and suddenly threw away Tianxing's hand and turned to face Cheng Yu asked.
"Maybe it's best not to change some things. Just like it is now, if you like it, you are welcome to come to the Cheng family at any time.
If you want, you can even treat this place as a second home.
But once some things change, the relationship between us may not be so natural anymore. I think this is good now! Cheng Yu said with his back to the two of them.
How could he not know Tianxue's feelings for him?
Speaking of this, even if Tianxue has confessed his love, it is not an exaggeration, but now it is impossible for him to accept Tianxue.
It's not because he doesn't like Tianxue, Tianxue has liked him for so many years, and he's not hard-hearted, so how could he not be moved?
It's just that he doesn't want to owe these women anymore.
He already felt very guilty because he owed Ye Qian. He didn't want Tianxue to become the second Ye Qian.
Especially at his current level.
Several women in the family have special status. Because of the existence of the Sky Mirror, they can basically keep up with him.
But if he gets together with Tianxue, he may have to leave this world within a few years.
But he had no way to take Tianxue away. Then they would have to be separated by immortals. What else would it mean if it didn't harm Tianxue?
Therefore, he feels that it is more suitable for him to be brothers and sisters with Tianxue now, rather than being lovers.
"You mean, if the relationship between us changes, your Cheng family will no longer welcome us?" Tianxue said.
"It's not that you're not welcome. Once some pieces of paper are pierced, you can't go back to the past!" Cheng Yu shook his head helplessly.
