Chapter 238: The Real Enemy
What Kan Long is doing now seems to be beautiful and very smart on the surface, but in fact, he is just making his death more miserable.
And although Zhongli Hate has always been steady, talking to Kan Long with a kind smile, but for the kind of expression that seems to be on his face, Zhong Lihate has always hidden a sense of uneasiness in his heart. But is there a choice for him now? Apparently not.
Even if he had given up his cultivation and was content to stay at this stage, he was still the cultivation of the Three Burial Heavens.
The moment he met Kan Long, he already understood that if Kan Long wanted to kill him, he would not have any ability to resist at all.
And now, although Kan Long has not expressed his position - Zhong Lihate knows that Kan Long is a very smart person, and he has ignored his many hints, it is not that he did not find out, but deliberately did not express his position.
However, even if there is uneasiness in his heart, now he tries his best to have a good impression in Kan Long's heart, and conveying his sincerity to the other party is the only thing he can do.
Whether he is good or Kan Long, when they meet again in a few years, they have both graduated and are no longer students in the academy, they are already adults.
If there is a fight in the academy, then it is the bullying of the strong against the weak, and it will not go to the extreme, after all, there will be such a middle existence and then stop it. But now?
After becoming an adult, Zhongli hated living in the world of the Undertaker, and there were already too many things for him that he couldn't abandon, he was a person, but his life was no longer completely his own.
His actions, his life and death are related to the fate of the entire family, which is a complex network of relationships, and it is a unique "product" of the undertaker world.
And at this time, Kan Long's appearance was like a thunderstorm on the ground, he didn't have the slightest defense, Kan Long appeared in front of him on a certain day that should have been as ordinary as yesterday.
At this time, he can no longer clash with Kan Long head-on like in the past, it is not a matter of strength or weakness, more importantly, for Zhong Li, this conflict has no limit, in the adult world, there is only success and failure, unlike when in the academy, there will always be a neutral existence to stop more extreme situations from happening.
He has no security, and Kan Long has no security. At this time, the difference between strength and weakness made him feel the confusion and pain when he was in a weak position.
He felt afraid, for Kan Long, who could only be bullied by himself, he didn't dare to resist from the front, and even didn't dare to speak out about the past, for fear that it would stimulate Kan Long and directly set off a storm.
After Kan Long appeared, Zhong Lihate talked to him about the past, and gradually recalled the cruelty of the funeral world.
If the person who came up today is a mortal, he is a mortal, and Kan Long is also a mortal, then there may be room for maneuver in the matter.
After all, although he did excessive things back then, he didn't sin to death, and in the world of funeral masters, the most important thing is not grievances and hatreds, but interests. That's all that matters.
So, if he and Kan Long were both mortals, he could trade directly with Kan Long, a trade that would be beneficial to both parties.
Kan Long's revenge capital can be transformed into another form, conflict with himself, and try his best to kill himself can only produce and resolve the hatred between the two, but if you choose to trade and weigh the pros and cons, you and your family can avoid casualties, and Kan Long will definitely be able to get more things.
It's a pity that he and Kan Long are both funeral masters. Zhong Li hated himself and knew that strictly speaking, he was no longer a real burial master, after all, he had given up cultivation and was content with the status quo. And Kan Long is also a funeral master, and his strength is much higher than himself.
In such a situation, there is no transaction between them at all.
Zhong Li was accustomed to the personnel disputes in the funeral world, as well as the exchange of interests, although he was a funeral master, but many times there would be situations where he needed to bow his head to mortals.
Therefore, he has become more or less accustomed to bowing his head to others, because this is not only a show of weakness, but more importantly, the exchange of interests contained in it, and in the end, he can get more through this behavior.
But now, this relationship with Kan Long, although he doesn't want to admit it, is actually a kind of pity. What he wants in exchange for nothing is any benefit, and he can't give Kan Long any benefits, the most he can pray for is mercy and sympathy from Kan Long.
For this reason, Zhongli hated himself and didn't know what he had to do more. Because although he didn't put down his posture on the surface, he was receiving Kan Long like a friend.
After all, he still has his own family and clansmen now, and he also has to think about his own face.
However, in fact, he has given Kan Long many hints, and Kan Long will definitely understand what he means, because it is not the fox friend who mixed with him in Yunxi School back then, but Kan Long, who has been bullied by himself.
With such a sudden encounter, Kan Long understood that it was definitely not a good thing, and there was a high probability that Kan Long was here to find trouble for himself, and even ...... Kill yourself.
What Zhongli is doing now is to minimize the risks he will encounter as much as possible, and if Kan Long is willing to compromise with himself and is willing to make demands on himself, he will definitely do his best to meet Kan Long's demands.
He is a strong man with absolute strength, although looking at Kan Long now, he can't believe that Kan Long's strength will actually increase so much.
As long as Kan Long makes a request, then the current relationship between the two people will change, no longer one-sided prayer and mercy, but the risk will be greatly reduced, and it is also the relationship he looks forward to and is best at - the exchange of interests.
By satisfying Kan Long's requirements and giving him what he wanted, Kan Long gained benefits, and he was able to pick up a life. Even, although it is very unlikely, the relationship between the two people may be improved.
Zhong Li felt that this kind of thing was completely possible, because as long as Kan Long was willing to make a request, then it meant that there was still room for things to turn around, and the exchange of interests also showed that it made sense between two people.
He hoped to see such a scene, which would also bring benefits to himself - a person who was truly at the peak of the Three Burial Heavens, and in his own opinion, it was entirely possible to become a strong person to enter the Four Burial Heavens, and if there was such a partner, his family business would be able to expand further.
Although Kan Long has never given a clear answer, and he has chosen to ignore all of his tireless overtures, which makes him very uneasy, but at least Kan Long did not make a move, and he has no intention of leaving, which shows that he still has some hope to reconcile with him.
Rather than thinking about the worst possible situation, Zhong Li was more willing to think of the current situation as if it were true, and Kan Long was still thinking about what he could get from him, and what kind of requirements he made to get the most out of him.
So when it was time for the dinner, under Zhong Li's instructions, the entire Zhong family fell into a sea of excitement. The Zhong family also has a lot of people, and the area of the family's compound is also very vast.
The Zhong family itself belongs to a famous family in the local area, and now that such a lively banquet is held, many people from other families are curious to come to watch, and this development also makes Zhong Lihe think of a clever plan.
He ordered the housekeeper to send invitations to all the well-connected families and let them come to the banquet together.
Kan Long's idea is that the grander this banquet is, the more it can reflect his sincerity, and he can also show his ability in front of Kan Long.
That is, he secretly told Kan Long that as long as he is willing to reconcile with him, or even cooperate, being a soil emperor in this place and letting him live a life like a god is not a fool's dream at all.
This matter also expanded quickly, and after those families knew that the Zhong family had a distinguished guest with terrifying strength, they all came one after another, wanting to get acquainted with each other.
And those families who have a general relationship with the Zhong family are as lifeless as if they have encountered a funeral.
They all knew very well what a powerhouse at the peak of the Three Burial Heavens meant in their small city - as long as the Zhong family and this noble guest joined forces, it might not be impossible to devour all the families.
Some of the children of the Zhong family lived far away, and when they woke up lazily at noon, they saw that the whole family was very lively and began to prepare for the banquet, and immediately went to the main courtyard with other partners.
Children's favorite is lively eating and drinking, the Zhong family's family is very thick, if you really want to prepare like this, the delicacies of the mountains and seas are naturally indispensable.
Even, even the dust women of the two largest local Qinglou were directly wrapped up by the Zhong family, when this kind of famous family held a banquet, these wind and dust women can often make a lot of money, after all, they are famous families, and they are very generous one by one.
And they had already heard the news, this time there was a great distinguished guest who had even been friends with the patriarch of the Zhong family.
Although Zhong Li's own strength is not great in the Funeral Master Realm, it is already very remarkable in the town of the Funeral Master Realm. The strength of the distinguished guests who can make Zhong Li hate such hospitality must also be extraordinary.
For a while, the women of Yingying Yanyan gathered their sisters as quickly as possible, and quickly got into the carriage sent by the Zhong family and rushed to the Zhong family.
There are a large number of people at this party, and these women are beautiful and graceful, needless to say, those with mediocre looks can also earn a lot of silver.
For no other reason, in such a grand gathering, drinks must be indispensable, they know a lot about men, once they go crazy, it is enough to hold a warm nephrite in their arms, and they don't particularly care about that appearance.
In this kind of grand and lively gathering, what you want is an atmosphere, and holding a well-behaved and obedient woman in your arms can already bring enough face to a man.
Things are getting bigger and bigger, Kan Long just listened to Zhong Li's words, let him arrange it, and didn't stop it, but his attitude was always the same as at the beginning, without any expression, watching Zhong Li hate talk and laugh with those people from other families who came to celebrate the banquet, and still looked at him with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
The grand banquet went on as scheduled, and suddenly the entire Zhong family's singing and dancing life was filled with men and women in the gorgeous hall, and the lively appearance seemed to have encountered some great good thing.
Even the industrious Zhong family hung a lot of golden, red and gorgeous ornaments in the careful yard, and one by one the round and dexterous lanterns were hung on the door railing, and when the night darkened, they exuded a shining light, very warm.
Zhongli hated being the head of the family, although he was busy and a little anxious, but his attention was still on Kan Long.
