IN THE CHAT GROUP:
Liu Xing: "It's a little inappropriate to say that infighting is a human instinct!"
Lucas: "Why is it not suitable? I think it's very fitting. As long as there are people, there will be competition for limited resources. And resources are limited—it's absolutely impossible to give everyone enough."
Lucas: "Just look at humans and demons in this world—they're competing for land resources. If we look at this world as a whole, aren't humans and demons engaged in infighting?"
Liu Xing was speechless. How could you explain it like that?
Lucas: "Even among Taoist priests who fight demons together, they compete for all kinds of materials, status, power, and reputation. There is only one leader of the Yiqi Taoist League, but there are two strongest families in the human Taoist sect."
Dongfang Yuechu: "Before I died, I was the leader of the Yiqi Dao League. From the perspective of power and profit, the Wangquan family certainly had reason to oppose me."
Senju Tobirama: "Calm down, this is nothing! Compared with the experience of our Senju family, your Dongfang family's situation isn't so bad."
Pirate King Roger: "I sense that there's a large group of people outside Divine Fire Manor, and they seem to be monitoring it."
Lucas: "No doubt it's Wangquan Tianxia among them. Let's go meet this transmigrator."
OUTSIDE DIVINE FIRE MANOR:
Wangquan Tianxia sat on the branch of a large tree, leaning casually against the trunk, looking at Divine Fire Manor from a distance.
"Still not making your move? Jin Renfeng is very patient!"
Wangquan Tianxia sneered, speaking of Jin Renfeng with undisguised disdain and contempt on his face.
"Pure Yang Flame?"
"If you were a member of the Dongfang family and had Dongfang Spirit Blood in your body, your Pure Yang Flame would be so powerful that I would have to retreat."
Recalling what Jin Renfeng had said earlier, Wangquan Tianxia admitted there were substantial loopholes in that statement.
It was a pity that Jin Renfeng had been severely humiliated by him at that time, and in his anger, was no longer rational.
According to the psychology of rebellion, the more Wangquan Tianxia emphasized that Jin Renfeng couldn't change his bloodline, the more Jin Renfeng wanted to prove that he could.
A subordinate of Wangquan Tianxia came over and asked with puzzlement, "Young Master Tianxia, are we still not taking action? Dongfang Yuechu of Divine Fire Manor has died, and the remaining people are not our opponents."
Wangquan Tianxia asked, "Has my unfortunate brother not returned yet?"
The subordinate shook his head and said, "There's no news since they went beyond the barrier, but it's certain they haven't come back."
Wangquan Tianxia smiled and said, "Then don't rush! When Jin Renfeng has devastated Divine Fire Manor, it won't be too late for us to take action. Only by letting Jin Renfeng drive the two young ladies of the Dongfang family to a desperate situation can my heroic rescue have the proper effect."
Many Taoist priests from Wangquan Villa looked at each other in dismay after hearing these words, feeling that their young master was being rather shameless.
Seeing this, Wangquan Tianxia said with a sympathetic expression, "The demons are powerful, and they compete with humans for land. We humans should unite to fight against the demons. How can we fight among ourselves? The root of human struggle is that the Taoist sect lacks unified leadership."
"Wangquan Villa and Divine Fire Manor take turns leading the Yiqi Dao Sect, creating two commanders of the Human Dao Sect. This arrangement is not good—it's detrimental to humanity. For the benefit of the entire human race, this problem must be solved."
"When I have both daughters of the Dongfang family, Divine Fire Manor can be merged into our Wangquan Villa. Although I'm not very familiar with the two Dongfang daughters, I am willing to sacrifice my personal happiness for the sake of the entire human race!"
"At that time, you will all be heroes of humanity. When I take charge of Wangquan Villa, I will definitely reward you greatly. If Divine Fire Manor comes under my control, do you think Wangquan Villa will fall into anyone else's hands? For the sake of the human race, the position of villa master will definitely be mine."
When the Taoist priests of Wangquan Villa heard this, they suddenly became excited.
What the young master said made sense—glory and wealth were within reach!
In an instant, the morale of Wangquan Tianxia's subordinates soared.
IN THE CHAT GROUP:
Dongfang Yuechu: "I have met Wangquan Tianxia before. How did I not see this kid was so shameless?"
Lucas: "Didn't I tell you? You don't know people! Not only that, but your management ability is also abysmal."
Regarding Lucas's statement, Dongfang Yuechu expressed dissatisfaction: "I managed Divine Fire Manor and the Yiqi Dao League for so long, and there were no major incidents."
Lucas: "That's just because you were strong enough that others didn't dare to cause trouble due to your power. Once you lost your strength, Jin Renfeng's actions provide the best explanation."
Dongfang Yuechu was speechless for a moment, then said: "That makes sense! If my strength hadn't declined due to old age, how would Jin Renfeng have dared to attack me?"
Whitebeard: "I've found more and more similarities between Jin Renfeng and Teach. Group Leader, are Jin Renfeng and Blackbeard Teach the same kind of people?"
Lucas: "Jin Renfeng similar to Blackbeard Teach? Indeed, they are the same type. They both joined organizations with hidden agendas, behaved exemplarily when the organization leader was powerful, and secretly coveted the leader's power."
Lucas: "When the leader of the organization became too old or ill to fight at full strength, they both made ruthless, decisive moves and seized their boss's power. After taking that power, they both reached new heights in their lives, and both shared the flaw of becoming reckless and conceited after gaining power."
Whitebeard: "Gurarararara! Brother Dongfang, it seems we truly are kindred spirits! Don't be too sad—the Group Leader will help you get revenge. My traitor has already been executed by the Group Leader."
Lucas: "Blackbeard Teach is like Jin Renfeng, and Whitebeard is very similar to Dongfang Yuechu. Both of your organizations were maintained by your personal strength, so neither of you discovered that your subordinates harbored treacherous intentions. And like your traitors, you share the same flaws—recklessness and conceit."
Dongfang Yuechu: "Before Jin Renfeng attacked me, he always performed very well. Otherwise, I wouldn't have felt comfortable handing over the management of Divine Fire Manor to him."
Lucas: "When Whitebeard was strong, Blackbeard was also a good and well-behaved son. You can't assume someone is good just because they're behaving well."
Doflamingo: "Fufufufu~ The reason many people behave well is because they lack the courage and strength to show their true nature. Mr. Dongfang, are you taking people too simply?"
Fire Fist Ace: "Teach was a good guy with no ambitions before he discovered the Dark-Dark Fruit! If the opportunity to get that fruit had never appeared, Teach might have remained a good guy his entire life. So I agree with Doflamingo—being a villain requires the right circumstances!"
Uchiha Madara: "Are we getting off topic? I was saying that Dongfang Yuechu has no management skills. He's like that incompetent Senju Tobirama—an idiot when it comes to identifying and employing people!"
Senju Tobirama: "Uchiha Madara..."
Just as he was about to refute Uchiha Madara, Senju Tobirama suddenly realized that Madara was right. In terms of identifying and employing people, he really had nothing to say. He had appointed Sarutobi Hiruzen and others to high positions.
Senju Hashirama: "We've already discussed the problem of knowing and employing people, and the Group Leader mentioned management skills. In my opinion, Tobirama's management skills are quite good. Group Leader, why do you say Dongfang Yuechu lacks management skills?"
Silently thanking his brother, Senju Tobirama quickly directed the topic back to Dongfang Yuechu.
Lucas: "After Jin Renfeng became Dongfang Yuechu's disciple, he once proposed to marry Dongfang's eldest daughter, but Yuechu refused. After refusing, he took no measures to protect himself from Jin Renfeng."
Howard Stark: "Seriously? You refused his request, and you weren't afraid he would get angry and retaliate against you? Especially after you no longer had enough strength?"
Dongfang Yuechu: "Judging from his performance at the time, I didn't think he was that kind of person."
Lucas: "That's why I said you have no management skills—you don't even have the concept of defending against potential opponents. The women of the Dongfang clan can pass on spiritual power to the next generation. This kind of important information is related to the survival of the Dongfang clan. How did Jin Renfeng know about it? It's because your precautions weren't sufficient."
Dongfang Yuechu: "..."
Sebastian Shaw: "How could important information related to one's own survival be leaked? If any of my subordinates knew information that could affect my survival, they would have no choice but to die!"
Doflamingo: "Fufufufu~ After hearing so much from the Group Leader, I seem to suddenly understand why Jin Renfeng killed Dongfang Yuechu in the original future. In short, he asked for it!"
Dongfang Yuechu: "What did you say?"
Doflamingo: "Don't get upset, just listen to me! From the information revealed by the Group Leader, we know that Jin Renfeng held the power to manage Divine Fire Manor and also knew many secrets of the Dongfang family, right?"
Dongfang Yuechu: "So what?"
Doflamingo: "Jin Renfeng asked to marry your daughter, but you refused, correct?"
Dongfang Yuechu: "That's right!"
Doflamingo: "Then let's make a bold assumption. If Jin Renfeng continued to serve you faithfully, what would happen? After your death, the person who married your eldest daughter would become the owner of Divine Fire Manor. Is that right?"
Dongfang Yuechu: "That's right! But it's a bit inappropriate to say it's a 'marriage.' To be precise, it should be a marital alliance. Even Jin Renfeng's original request was for a marital alliance."
Doflamingo: "Then I'd like to ask, after the appearance of the new owner of Divine Fire Manor, what would happen to Jin Renfeng? He would definitely have to give up his power to manage the manor, right? Those who have tasted power find it hard to give up."
Doflamingo: "Even if Jin Renfeng were willing to give up his power over Divine Fire Manor, with the prestige he built managing the manor for many years, he would still be a threat to the new owner. He would likely be expelled or even killed outright."
Doflamingo: "He also knows many secrets of the Dongfang family, so it wouldn't be easy for him to leave. It's very likely he would be eliminated as a threat, isn't it? Everyone in the chat group, if you became the new owner of Divine Fire Manor, what would you do with Jin Renfeng?"
Doflamingo: "By the way, don't forget! Jin Renfeng once proposed to marry the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family. And that same daughter is now set to marry someone else!"
Everyone: "..."
Put that way, Jin Renfeng really was in a dead end!
Doflamingo: "The only way for Jin Renfeng to survive was to become the new owner of Divine Fire Manor. However, Mr. Dongfang rejected him. He had three choices—one was to remain loyal and wait for death; another was to escape and wait to be hunted down; and the last was to strike first."
Lucas: "Without a doubt, in the original future, Jin Renfeng chose the last path. Dongfang Yuechu, do you see why I said you have no management skills?"
Dongfang Yuechu: "..."
Dongfang Yuechu was stunned, suddenly at a loss for words.
After being speechless for a while, Dongfang Yuechu said, "So it's my fault that he dared to rebel?"
Lucas: "Not necessarily! Maybe Jin Renfeng was so ambitious that he would have done it regardless? This is just a theory proposed by Doflamingo."
Dongfang Yuechu: "Then I can rest assured!"
Lucas: "But his theory highlights an important point—even if Jin Renfeng wasn't inherently evil, the possibility of him killing you was still significant!"
Dongfang Yuechu: "..."
He'd rather Jin Renfeng just be a bad person!
