Chapter 42: Choice
"Don't listen to him, he's taking the opportunity to blackmail you!" Lu Xiaoling's words seemed to be still in her ears, but Sun Yang had no way to scoff at Dai Baichuan's words like her.
If he is also alone all his life, then he will not have any pressure and concerns, but he still has parents, a lot of relatives and friends, and even has to consider Li Wei and her family, which makes him unable to be as detached as Lu Xiaoling.
In Lu Xiaoling's view, even joining the Special Cases Administration is unlikely to change the terrible prospect described by Dai Baichuan.
First of all, they didn't know what kind of medicine Dai Baichuan was selling in his bones. Even though they had known each other for almost two years and had a few collaborations that were not pleasant but not bad, they still couldn't understand why Dai Baichuan wanted to absorb Sun Yang into the Special Case Administration so much.
"Your ancestors don't have royal blood, do they?" Lu Xiaoling once asked jokingly.
But the Great Xia Empire has only been founded for more than sixty years, and Sun Yang knows very well that his family's bloodline will never have anything to do with that great man, not even with any of the founding fathers. And he also checked very carefully, the old man in the family has never saved the life of any big person, and it is impossible for Dai Baichuan to look down on him because of this.
"Because I'm a genius!" This self-deprecating answer made Lu Xiaoling glare at him angrily, but they didn't know that although this was not complete, it was actually infinitely close to the real answer.
But no matter what the real reason is, with Sun Yang's ability and qualifications at the moment, it is impossible for Dai Baichuan to invest too many resources in him. In other words, even if he could arrange for people to protect Sun Yang's family for many years as an adult, those people could not be very capable.
There can't be a gain in this world without paying, and they really can't think of anything that Sun Yang can take out and exchange with the Special Case Administration for a long time, or with Dai Baichuan.
But after all, the Special Cases Administration Bureau is a powerful agency with a transcendent status, even if it does not directly send strong resources to protect Sun Yang's family, with such a relationship, those people should have more consideration than facing a little Heavenly Master who is like a wandering ghost.
"You only see one side, but you don't think that they offend more people." Lu Xiaoling said. "Maybe they can help you avoid some minor troubles, but who would have any concerns about the Special Cases Administration brand as a truly powerful cultivator? They have been in desperate need of strength abroad all these years, and when they fight back, they may die faster if they stand with the Special Cases Administration. ”
Her words made Sun Yang think of the monk of the Soul Sect, Dai Baichuan inadvertently mentioned this name in front of her, but fortunately, she didn't realize what had happened here.
But as she said, the monk had no qualms about facing the Special Crimes Bureau, on the contrary, he was not merciless in killing the people of the Special Cases Administration. If it weren't for Long Qingting and Juehui, two people who couldn't see the depth of Sun Yang at all, he could turn Yuanshan City upside down.
But what worries Sun Yang even more is the role that Dai Baichuan played in what happened today.
Did Fu Manjiang ever murder his parents, and did he try to break into the safe house of the Special Crime Administration Bureau to attack them?
Now Sun Yang tended not to, and the surprise and anger he showed before he died convinced Sun Yang that he didn't know anything about what was happening.
But Sun Yang also didn't believe that Dai Baichuan did so many things for the sake of an insignificant pawn like him, and he vaguely guessed that this might be related to some decisions or struggles within the high-level of the Special Case Administration, maybe Dai Baichuan was just looking for a reason to kill Fu Manjiang, maybe Fu Manjiang happened to have some kind of reason to die, and then ...... Sun Yang's incident happened to be an extremely reluctant excuse, and Dai Baichuan also pushed the boat to woo and intimidate him after completing his true purpose.
This kind of speculation made Sun Yang angry, because if this was true, then Dai Baichuan's approach was not fundamentally different from Fu Manjiang's, they were also using the people Sun Yang cared about to force or induce him to do something, although Dai Baichuan was more subtle and softer, but this did not change the essence of his approach.
Will there be more of this in the future?
Sun Yang couldn't help but think so.
If Dai Baichuan thinks this is an effective method, will he once again involve Sun Yang's family, intentionally or unintentionally, in these dangerous things, until he joins the Special Cases Administration or simply exposes them?
He suddenly felt a headache that he had never felt before, and for the first time he began to regret it.
"It's a pity that you don't come to be a Heavenly Master."
"How? Do you want to try it? ”
"Hey, how much money do you get for a month here? In fact, being a celestial master is not often encountered such a thing, most of the time it is just to help people look at feng shui, drive away evil spirits, and easily earn a million a year, you really don't want to try it? ”
The words that Master Lu had said when he first saw him and persuaded him to become a Heavenly Master suddenly came to mind at this time, if he had known at that time that he would expose his parents, relatives and friends to such dangers, would he still have embarked on this path?
Sun Yang smiled bitterly.
In fact, he never had a real choice.
In the dark, it was as if there was an invisible hand that had been pushing him and making him stumble forward.
As a Heavenly Master, I naturally believe in numerology, but whether my fate was decided at birth, when the old Taoist priest took him away to change his life, or when he met Master Lu and reopened the Eye of Heaven?
Or, in fact, the future has not yet been decided?
He couldn't help but take out the phone and dialed Cao Daoping's phone.
"Sun Yang?"
"Master Cao......" Sun Yang was silent for a long time, and finally asked the thought that suddenly appeared in his mind, and then there was no way to drive it out. Do you know how Lu Xiaoling's parents died? Did they really die in a car accident? ”
Cao Daoping was silent over there for a long time, perhaps he knew very well that what Sun Yang wanted to know was not the answer that Lu Xiaoling knew.
"Why do you ask this?" He finally asked rhetorically.
Sun Yang shook his head desperately: "I don't know, I'm just wondering, is it true that being a Heavenly Master will really have five disadvantages and three shortcomings." ”
"It's not like that, you see, I'm not ...... now," Cao said.
"During your cultivation for so long, has anyone ever threatened you with Sister Cao Fang? Have you ever been forced to make such a choice? ”
Cao Daoping was silent again, and then he asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong with you guys? ”
