Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 634 - 244: Minor Interlude! Major Dialogue!_6
But why could a child so easily join the Great Tang Prison to study? Was it because everyone Li Changyi encountered on her journey were good people who strictly followed rules to help her? 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
It couldn't be a case of "dogs throwing dogs fetching," right?
"The situation was quite complicated at the time. Although I only mentioned it briefly, I went through a lot of trouble before finally joining the Great Tang Prison." Li Changyi was afraid Yuchi wouldn't believe her, she was on the verge of tears. This was what happened back then, she couldn't possibly remember it wrongly.
"Calm down, the tea's almost cold, why don't you taste it?"
Yuchi smiled, indicating that Li Changyi should relax, and he said directly, "Let's consider the matter from two perspectives."
"For example, if I, Yuchi try to fish, facing all sorts of hardships along the way, and eventually catch a fish, isn't it understandable? You wouldn't find anything peculiar about it."
"But if I, Yuchi, try my best and work hard, and suddenly change from a man to a woman, would you still find it normal?"
Observing Li Changyi's slightly flushed face, the logic in considering the reality was actually quite simple.
Judging whether there is a connection between cause and effect.
If there is a connection, that's when a process exists.
If I genuinely work hard and eventually become a cross-dressing master, that's acceptable. If I genuinely work hard and take the crown in an esports competition, there's no problem. If I genuinely work hard, eventually have a child, it's understandable.
But if I genuinely work hard and directly stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun? Is that reasonable? If I genuinely work hard and turn into a keyboard, is that reasonable? If I genuinely work hard and directly step on the sky? That's not reasonable.
Yes.
First ascertain the cause and effect, then see whether a process exists, which is a very simple way to discern truth. Applied to Li Changyi's situation, because she wanted revenge in the Great Tang Prison, she struggles hard to join there for revenge, does this make sense?
Is the Great Tang Prison so deceptive? Yuchi didn't think so. From the Great Tang Prison Xufu Town branch, clues could be seen. Everyone strictly adhered to their posts, their dedication was ensured, they followed rules and patrolled despite seeming lazy, they were genuinely working.
So would such an impermeable Great Tang Prison just let in a little girl seeking revenge? Not to mention the Great Tang Prison, even his Ascension Gate would need to investigate a person's background before accepting them, wouldn't just take in someone whose origins are unknown.
So if the Ascension Gate does this, wouldn't the Great Tang Prison do the same? Wouldn't they investigate everything about Li Changyi? Could they not truly know who she is?
Is this possible?
If this possibility really existed, then Yuchi wouldn't be wracking his brain trying to get money from the Great Tang Prison now, he'd have long fled with lots of gold and silver.
"So... so what do you mean?" Li Changyi gradually understood Yuchi's meaning, and fear began to emerge in her eyes.
This is what I mean, Yuchi calmly said:
"If you are not lying, I can basically conclude that the Great Tang Prison knows your identity, but they're just keeping you around, letting you work as a free labor force for them, while the things you see and hear are likely just smoke and mirrors released by them, merely there to confuse you."
Li Changyi: "..."
Her skin suddenly crawled! Even on a hot summer day, she felt a chill from head to toe, completely overwhelmed by an indescribable dread! Could it be that all these years she's been pretending, the people at the Great Tang Prison have been watching her this whole time? Despite her efforts to disguise, they already know her inside out!
This is all to exploit her remaining value!
This is human nature? Is it really so terrifying?!
Yuchi sensed Li Changyi's panic, he began to reassess the situation:
"Of course, things might have subtle differences, but we can use this as a basis and make simple deductions, to understand what the worst scenario might roughly be. This way, we can be mentally prepared."
"Thus, if I were the prison director of the Great Tang Prison, and knew that you Li Changyi had hidden ill intentions, I would certainly cultivate you while making you run around and work hard, and then abandon and kill you when the time was right."
"Looking back, when I spoke with the prison director, I felt something was off, although I didn't immediately pinpoint it, now it seems the director was too accommodating, they agreed to give me a Core Formation Stage you without asking for any bridal gift, simply asking me to protect you, otherwise, they wouldn't have asked."
"So if you were assassinated one day, would I, Yuchi, not fall into many passive situations? Then they could threaten me using you, saying I didn't protect you well, then I might be coerced into becoming their dog, helping them make money."
"Moreover, considering the Great Tang Prison itself, once an ugly event happens, it's definitely not a singular incident. Back when the Great Tang Prison could kill your family, they could treat others the same way, so it's not ruled out they consider you as commodities."
"It's not ruled out there are many like you in the Great Tang Prison, all wanting revenge, working diligently, striving to showcase themselves, trying to get close to the prison director to destroy him. The director knows their thoughts well, directing them, and when the time is right, these people 'disappear' mysteriously."
"Hmm..."
Yuchi gazed at the stunned Li Changyi: "Has the Great Tang Prison ever had disappearances? For instance, someone goes out to work and never returns, or someone gets promoted and paid?"
