Ren Ruofeng thought hard as he calculated several times. He had thought of something crucial – the Land of Sanguinity that was just recently taken over by the Venerable Dragon God.
The place allegedly had a spatial Natural Trait that allowed it to open different passages to various planets.
It was said that the light gate to Mars had been opened.
Besides that, a material exchange center was currently under construction.
Most of all, the person who was preparing everything was one of the Venerable Dragon God’s female followers.
The question now was where on earth did the arcane realm come from?
If everything had been arranged by the Upper Realm’s gods, would they have so easily allowed someone they had no control over to take over such an important place?
Were they not worried about accidents that may occur?
Ren Ruofeng stood up in his office, turned around and pulled open the french window before walking out.
Ever since Vigilante A smashed his window the last time, he found out that it was indeed more convenient to go out through the window when going out. After all, his office was upstairs and he could fly.
Then, he chose a direction and flew straight ahead.
There were many restricted airspaces near the area where the Truth Department was located at, but he still had access.
Not long after, he arrived at Dragon God’s place, a villa by the farms.
In fact, he could have just sent out a message, but in order to show respect, he decided to drop by personally.
Butler Zheng quickly ushered the visitor in.
For some reason, Zheng Dao had already vaguely sensed the storm coming among the busy crowd.
He had a psychological ability that allowed him to perceive people’s emotional changes, and to detect many small details.
In the past, lots of people had tried to butter up the hero, but they were never allowed in.
However, nowadays, many people had subconsciously stayed away.
As for this period when changes occurred, it all started when Vitality began shrinking and the emergence of the Vitality nodes.
The modern people were indeed modern. They were well-informed and would seize every opportunity to poke into every nook and corner.
The Truth Department declared that this was merely the Heavenly Axiom changing, but those who were well-informed were able to find out that it was all part of the Upper Realm’s immortals’ tricks.
After all, two months have passed, and it was impossible for the public to be fooled by all the things Old Master Ma had done. Everything had naturally fallen into the eyes of those who cared.
Not to mention, the mystical era, where there were also methods of calculating that did not require science.
In modern civilization, the speed of communication was no longer comparable to ancient times.
In the current world of cultivation, a consensus had been formed where the people of the Upper Realm was interfering more and more with Earth, and Vigilante A, one who cultivated the Path of Heavenly Punishment, was tied to Earth’s Heavenly Axiom. In the end, all would perish together.
After all, the various behaviors of Vigilante A were completely different from those of the Upper Realm’s gods.
He was clear with his views, which was the refurbished version of modern civilization, but just a little more harsh with the practice. However, modern civilization was quite incompatible with what the Upper Realm’s gods were practicing.
The human history of blood and sanguinity had long proven how much the common customs and the divine rights would clash.
However, the gap between both sides’ powers was too great. Most of the cultivators had already been secretly preparing for the gods to descend to the Lower Realm, then they would choose which to follow and become a slave for the next hundreds of years before making the next move.
After all, compared to the commoners, they still had a choice. As long as they went with the flow, their lives and wealth would be ensured. There would always be hope for them.
Zheng Dao, however, was simply unswayed. One as faithful and loyal as he was extremely scarce in modern times.
The biggest difference between people of the modern age and ancient times was that people today were more independent. Loyalty did not exist anymore, only one’s faith towards the interests and beliefs of oneself.
In Zheng Dao’s opinion, the believed that in this new era where danger lurked in four corners, only a true hero could successfully maintain one’s purity.
In the past, it was necessary to rely on an organization to achieve stability in the world, but today, one’s individual strength and powers determined the ruler, and so only one promising powerhouse would be able to maintain stability.
Zheng Dao prepared some tea for Ren Ruofeng, and then accompanied him to chat.
The other party did not rush the Venerable One to come back but waited patiently. It seemed that it was not an emergency, though still something major that concerned the entire situation.
“Butler Zheng, I can see that you still have no children yet. Look at your age, don’t you know that you’re not getting any younger? Have you ever thought of settling down and starting your own family?” Ren Ruofeng asked with concern.
“Thank you for your concern, but with the current political situation so unstable, I don’t have the time or heart to care about these things,” Zheng Dao said as he shook his head.
“Oh, that won’t do. Carrying on the family line and extending the family bloodline had always been a traditional virtue of us Chinese. Don’t get brainwashed by those European tacky lifestyles where one only strives for personal enjoyment or a marriage without kids. That’s destined to be eliminated by history sooner or later,” Ren Ruofeng advised.
Zheng Dao fidgeted as he felt awfully awkward.
Although Ren Ruofeng looked young, he was already more than 70 years old, so he was definitely old enough to be Zheng Dao’s father.
Naturally, he understood that the other person was qualified to speak of him like this.
“Yes, I guess you’re right.” He could faintly feel that Ren Ruofeng did not make that shot at him aimlessly, but had meant a deeper message.
“Well, if that’s the case, please allow me to secure your relationship. I heard that you’ve been with our Ding Xiang from the Special Investigations Unit for some time already and things seem to be serious. Don’t drag this on anymore and just choose a nice date to tie a knot. I’ll help you settle this with the Venerable One,” Ren Ruofeng said boldly.
“Uh…” Three crows flew across Zheng Dao’s mind as he was utterly speechless. What was this old fellow trying to play ay?
“Seems like you have no means to reject this. Alright, so that’s that,” Ren Ruofeng continued quickly, ending the contemplation in an instant.
That was what? Where was I? What was happening?
Zheng Dao was feeling dizzy, but his heart seemed to have let out a breath of relief.
Perhaps, this was not a bad idea.
Sometimes without someone giving a push, especially in relationships related situations, the right time would slip through easily.
However, he was still not an ordinary person after all. Within seconds, he had already thought of a possibility.
Was Oldman Ren using the whole unification by marriage method that had been present since ancient times to imply that the Truth Department would never be like the others, to never abandon the Venerable One even under the pressure of the Upper Realm’s gods?
The only issue was that where did he get the confidence that he could resist the pressure of those gods?
Or perhaps that was the difference between an intellectual and an ordinary mortal?
Of course, he was still moved by the gesture. Even though marriage as such was considered old-fashioned and of poor taste, but in reality, there were many as such. Just that the modern people would pay more attention to the individual’s thoughts and feelings, but marriages based on mutual interests were still very common.
“Sir, please drink some tea.” Zheng Dao no longer declined as this matter was no longer merely his personal affairs, but a formal marriage between two powerful forces.
It seemed to be a trivial matter but turned out to be an important issue.
For the opposite party to make such a move at a time like this was not easy at all.
“Isn’t this just nice. At least Ding Xiang won’t become an old lonely lady anymore. This is where the difference between human and god lies – love. Whatever benefits or powers, at the end of the day, aren’t everyone doing it for themselves?” Ren Ruofeng exclaimed with a pleased tone.
His had had his ups and downs in his love life, so he especially hoped that the young ones would be able to come together as one. With that, he felt somewhat comforted.
This was also one of the criteria to distinguish a person’s character.
A kind person would always hope for the best for others so that everyone could live comfortably. The wicked, however, would find happiness from the misfortunes of others.
