The little crybaby in the group, the young master is a softie

Hua Jianli's words were quite ruthless. Anyone with a little psychological weakness would collapse after hearing his words. But Xu Junyue was obviously not that type.

"Ah Li, thank you for telling me this, even though I don't like to hear it... It's getting late for me to come out today, so I'll leave first."

Xu Junyue shook off her lonely look, waved her hand with a beautiful smile, and turned to leave.

But behind that bright smile, what kind of bitterness and sadness is hidden, I am afraid that no one can see it except herself.

Hua Jianli looked at her gradually receding back, sighed heavily, then sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"I've been eavesdropping for so long, come out and have a cup of tea."

Su Yang was hiding in the corner, still thinking about the heated conversation between Hua Jianli and Xu Junyue, secretly marveling at how powerful Hua Jianli's words were!

Hearing this voice suddenly, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, muttering quietly, "Who is he talking to? Isn't he calling me?"

Hua Jianli's voice sounded again, "I'm calling you."

Su Yang immediately put on a flattering smile, slowly poked his head out, and said flatteringly:

"Great Demon Lord, you are so amazing. You found me even though I was hiding so secretly."

Hua Jianli raised the corners of her mouth slightly, with a faint smile, and gently hooked her finger at him.

In an instant, Su Yang felt an invisible force wrapped around his body like a rope. He flew towards Hua Jianli involuntarily and landed steadily in his arms.

"What were you doing hiding there?"

Su Yang's eyes were evasive, and he stammered, "Uh... I, I saw that there were other people here, so it was inconvenient to disturb them."

Hua Jianli smiled slightly and stretched out a hand towards Su Yang, "Where are my things?"

Su Yang's heart skipped a beat, knowing that he was talking about the token, but he pretended not to know, with his eyes wide open, he said innocently:

"Things? What things? I didn't take your things."

Hua Jianli tightened his arms slightly, hugged Su Yang tighter, and spoke in a low voice with a hint of threat:

"You're playing dumb with me, right? Either you hand it over yourself, or I strip you naked and find it out. It's your choice."

Su Yang curled his lips, and reluctantly took out the token from his pocket, muttering: "Here, here you go, stingy guy, you can't even lend it to me for fun."

Hua Jianli took the token, rubbed it gently, and looked up at Su Yang: "This is not something to play with. Tell me, what are you going to do with it?"

Su Yang had already thought of an excuse when he stole the token. He straightened his chest and said confidently:

"The scenery of the Shura tribe is so beautiful, and there are many places I haven't been to. But there are demon soldiers everywhere, and I am alone, weak and helpless. I am afraid that something will happen when I go out to play, and I will be beaten black and blue by them.

So I carry this thing with me. If anyone dares to be rude to me, I will show this token and I guarantee they will immediately become as obedient as a mouse seeing a cat."

Hua Jianli couldn't help laughing when listening to his nonsense. He reached out and gently scratched his nose, saying lovingly, "You are quite smart."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Su Yang's swollen face, "But what's wrong with your face? Why is it swollen?"

Su Yang subconsciously touched his swollen face from Xu Junyue's slap, and said casually: "It's okay, I just ran too fast and fell down."

Hua Jianli raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously not believing him, and looked at him and said, "Can you leave five finger marks when you fall?"

"Hey, I said it was caused by wrestling, so don't ask so many questions."

Seeing him so flustered, Hua Jianli was suspicious, but still nodded and said gently: "Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it."

As he spoke, he slowly reached out his hand, gently stroked Su Yang's cheek, and suddenly kissed him, "Don't go anywhere during this time, just stay here obediently."

Su Yang licked his lips, looking puzzled: "Why?"

Hua Jianli looked into the distance, "Because I don't want to see you become a corpse again. I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as I'm here, I won't let you get hurt."

Su Yang stared into Hua Jianli's eyes and said anxiously:

"You must have heard the news, right? The Shura tribe is about to start a war against the Ghost tribe. Why can't everyone just live in peace?

Great Demon Lord, can you coordinate and prevent this war from happening? Please."

Hua Jianli lowered his eyes and was silent for a while, then said softly: "I'm sorry."

Su Yang was very emotional, "Although the Ghost Clan has been growing stronger, they have never thought of replacing the Shura Clan to become the overlord of the demon world.

How can you impulsively decide to go to war based on your own blind guesses? This is wrong!"

Hua Jianli raised his head, his eyes deep and cold, and slowly spoke: "There is no absolute right or wrong in this world, there is only the eternal contest between interests and power.

In the demon world, every tribe is planning for its own survival and development. The Ghost Tribe is slowly becoming stronger, which is a possible danger to the Shura Tribe.

As the Great Demon Lord, I must consider the situation from the perspective of my own tribe. If I ignore the development of the Ghost Tribe now, when you become stronger in the future, you may bring disaster to the Shura Tribe.

I can't risk the fate of the entire tribe for that little hope of peace, do you understand?"

Su Yang was stunned, staring at Hua Jianli blankly, and asked stupidly: "Then will you go to the battlefield?"

"Yes." Hua Jianli answered without hesitation, "The resources in the demon world are limited, and living space also needs to be fought for. We are just following the rules of the demon world since ancient times.

The law of the jungle is an eternal truth. Although I love you, I will never change my established strategy just because of your pleas.

Su Yang widened his eyes and retorted in disbelief:

"But this is too cruel! Just because of the so-called balance of interests and power, countless lives are plunged into war and countless families are torn apart. Is this what you are pursuing?

Is peaceful coexistence really impossible? Every life has its own meaning and should be respected, rather than being treated as a victim of ethnic games.

Once a war breaks out, it will only bring death, destruction and hatred. These negative things will spread in the demon world like a cancer, eroding all the beauty.

Can't we try to resolve conflicts through communication and cooperation? Why do we have to write the so-called laws of the demon world with blood?"

Hua Jianli looked at the excited Su Yang in his arms, knowing that he couldn't communicate with him, but he still patiently explained:

"In this demon world, warmth is just a fantasy of the weak, and mercy is a luxury that has never existed. Every tribe is fighting for supreme hegemony.

The rise of your Ghost Clan has disrupted the original balance. If we, the Shura Clan, do not suppress it, we will surely be regarded as weak and can be bullied by other clans that are eyeing us covetously in the future.

Once the wheel of war starts turning, it can only stop by crushing all obstacles. I must defend the dignity and status of the Shura clan with iron and blood, and let all clans know that challenging us will only result in destruction.

Your thoughts of peace are like fragile bubbles that burst at the slightest touch in the face of this cruel reality. Don't try to change the rules of the demon world with your childish ideas.

So, stay here peacefully and don't get involved in the war between the Shura and Ghost tribes. Before the two sides start fighting, quickly draw a clear line between them. Only in this way can you survive."

"No..." Su Yang shook his head, his expression firm and his voice hoarse, "I won't let the two tribes fight. I can definitely prevent this tragedy from happening, I can!"
