#1361 - The strong and the weak
Like a seventh-rank official before the Prime Minister's gate, they were the three most trusted individuals under Qin BuYi in the Little Azure Star Territory, and also held the highest positions besides Qin BuYi.
The fact that they were waiting outside the Star Territory Teleportation Array for these medium-sized Star Territory Lords was enough to demonstrate Qin BuYi's amiable attitude.
This also put the hearts of some medium-sized Star Territory Lords at ease.
After all, judging from the intelligence about Qin BuYi's rise, he was clearly not a kind person.
Even though they were accepted for a visit this time, everyone was wondering what his attitude would be before they arrived.
A dozen or so medium-sized Star Territory Lords communicated with each other through voice transmission:
"Judging from the welcoming scene, Emperor Qin's attitude is much better than I expected!"
"Thinking about it carefully, this is also normal. A strong person like Emperor Qin, although decisive in killing, is also a magnanimous person."
"Anyway, I think communicating with such a strong person is much better than dealing with those who are arrogant and condescending!"
"An arrogant attitude is indeed a shortcoming of many strong people."
As they spoke, the group arrived at Star Blue Academy.
As soon as they entered the gate of Star Blue Academy, countless Heavenly Court First Army soldiers stood on both sides and shouted in unison: "Welcome to everyone's arrival!"
The eyelids of these dozen or so medium-sized Star Territory Lords twitched when they saw this scene.
Everywhere they looked were all Late Stage Mysterious Immortal Realm experts!
"There are indeed many strong people following Emperor Qin in the Little Azure Star Territory!"
"Where did Emperor Qin gather these strong people from? Mysterious Immortals are not cabbages! If their cultivation is raised by another major realm, there would be no problem for them to be the lord of a small star territory."
"This is probably a show of strength, a friendly gesture followed by a display of power... Sure enough, this is very Emperor Qin!"
"If I had so many strong people following me, I would also choose to flex my muscles!"
Just as these dozen or so medium-sized Star Territory Lords thought, Qin BuYi wanted to start with a friendly gesture followed by a display of power, to give them a warning.
The friendly gesture was to show his amiable attitude, and now the display of power was to remind these people not to become reckless because of his amiable attitude, otherwise the consequences would definitely be very unpleasant!
When Lan WenHao, Ying Zhi, and Su He saw these Star Territory Lords who were usually in high positions, their faces showed shocked expressions, and a hint of a smile appeared on the corners of their mouths.
Lan WenHao quietly said to the two of them: "Brother Qin's move is clever, look at how these people's expressions have changed instantly."
Ying Zhi said: "Hehe, a friendly gesture followed by a display of power, it's very normal."
Su He said: "This is also for their own good, so they don't think Brother Qin is a parent who spoils their children. If they say something they shouldn't say or do something they shouldn't do."
"With Brother Qin's temper, he will definitely send these people to ascend to heaven on the spot!"
Lan WenHao said: "Brother Su He is right, this is for their own good."
After a group of people entered the Star Blue Academy's reception hall, special maids served everyone to sit down.
Each of these maids was carefully selected, and their appearance and figure were beyond doubt.
This is called prestige!
The Little Azure Star Territory is now getting stronger and stronger, and this kind of prestige is essential.
Of course, this kind of prestige has nothing to do with Qin BuYi.
It was entirely arranged by Lan WenHao, Ying Zhi, and Su He.
Qin BuYi sat in the first seat and looked at the medium-sized Star Territory Lords and said: "Welcome everyone to my Little Azure Star Territory..."
After a series of pre-prepared opening remarks, he immediately received responses from the medium-sized Star Territory Lords.
"Emperor Qin is too polite! We are the ones who are disturbing you, please forgive us."
"Being received by Emperor Qin with such high standards, we already feel flattered!"
"Coming to the Little Azure Star Territory this time has really opened my eyes. Compared to it, my star territory is like garbage."
Qin BuYi looked at these flattering medium-sized Star Territory Lords with a smile.
No matter what cultivation realm or status one reaches.
When facing a strong person, especially a strong person who can decide your life and death, any living being will become humble and polite!
Although these medium-sized Star Territory Lords were guests, they placed themselves in a very low position in their words.
After some pleasantries, one of these medium-sized Star Territory Lords stood up and said: "Emperor Qin, I am the Lord of the Dreamlike Star Territory, and I have something I don't know whether I should say or not."
Qin BuYi thought to himself: "Is it finally time to get to the point."
Generally, when someone says there is something they don't know whether they should say or not, that thing is definitely not going to be good.
However, thinking that this group of people might be here for this purpose, Qin BuYi couldn't refuse them.
"Lord of the Dreamlike Star Territory, please speak," Qin BuYi said.
The Lord of the Dreamlike Star Territory said: "Emperor Qin's Little Azure Star Territory is developing more and more strongly. I'm saying if, if one day in the future you need our current star territories as the foundation for development, can you please inform us in advance."
"This way, we can also cooperate with Emperor Qin to develop the Little Azure Star Territory better and better..."
These words were quite euphemistic, and at the same time, they expressed all the meaning they wanted to express. It can be regarded as the art of language in terms of human relationships.
Qin BuYi felt very comfortable listening to such an euphemistic request and such euphemistic words.
"Okay, if my Little Azure Star Territory needs your star territories as a foundation in the future, I will definitely notify you in advance, and I will also give you many benefits..."
"But there is one thing, if anyone is unwilling to cooperate with my Little Azure Star Territory at that time, there may be some unpleasantness."
Qin BuYi's answer not only answered the other party's question, putting their minds at ease, but also gave them some warnings.
It's just that the latter part of the speech was not so euphemistic...
Perhaps this is also the privilege of being a strong person, who does not need to consider so many factors like a weak person.
In other words, when a weak person says something, they need to consider the emotions, psychology, and reactions of the strong person.
Because if they don't consider these things, they are likely to be in great trouble.
And when a strong person says something, there are not so many concerns.
In the world of cultivators, everyone is someone else's strong person, and at the same time, everyone is playing the role of a weak person.
The cycle of heaven, all this is balanced.
Thinking back to the beginning, before Qin BuYi had completely grown up, his actions also needed to be cautious and careful.
Now that he has grown up, he doesn't need to be cautious about anything.
The caution of the strong will instead give the weak the illusion of taking advantage of their kindness.
After Qin BuYi finished speaking, the medium-sized Star Territory Lords present all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
They came here this time for this purpose, and were waiting for these words from Qin BuYi.
Now this promise that is not a promise has been obtained.
As for Qin BuYi's words that were obviously meant as a warning... no one took it to heart.
Isn't it normal to face the threat of a strong person?
