Chapter 931 - 842: Changing Strategy (2)
Hearing Duan Gujin's words, Zhan Huantai gasped."Duan Gujin, isn't this too risky?"
Zhan Huantai said.
Duan Gujin asked, "If you were Zhan Changsheng, and your enemy's strength was formidable, and they were about to enter the Divine World, you would know that once they truly entered the Divine World, it would be extremely unfavorable for you. What would you do in that situation?"
"I think I would do everything possible to eliminate the opponent before they grew strong! It's a matter of life and death anyway, so it's better to destroy them before they mature!"
Zhan Huantai pondered for a moment and replied sincerely and firmly.
"Right, what you can think of, Zhan Changsheng can surely think of too!"
Duan Gujin said.
He was silent for a moment, then continued, "Zhan Changsheng knows that I'm a martial artist from another continent, here only for exploration. But you're different. He will certainly try to trouble you since he knows your connection to him. If he finds out about your relationship, who knows how he'll deal with you. My advice is to reveal your relationship with him; after all, you're his illegitimate son. Even a tigress won't eat her cub!"
"His wife was the daughter of the previous Sect Leader of the Taihuang Immortal Sect. His senior sister fancied him and forced him to marry her; he married his senior sister to become the Sect Leader of the Taihuang Immortal Sect! My mother was abandoned, and after she gave birth to me, she passed away from sorrow!"
Recalling his mother, Zhan Huantai couldn't help but feel emotional.
Duan Gujin frowned slightly; previously, he heard some inconsequential details, but now he believed what Zhan Huantai was saying was true.
He carefully connected some past events of Zhan Huantai's previous life, realizing what Zhan Huantai said now should be true.
But in reality, whether the truth Zhan Huantai revealed was true or false, he didn't care.
In the previous life, the Taihuang Immortal Sect committed many wrongdoings, and he had no goodwill towards them.
Now that the Taihuang Immortal Sect has a new master, he thinks it's indeed a positive development for the martial artists of Yuanzhen Continent.
"I want to meet Zhan Changsheng! You should come with me!"
Duan Gujin pondered for a moment and said.
Zhan Huantai was bewildered and asked, "Why?"
"For you!"
Duan Gujin sighed and replied.
Zhan Huantai's mouth opened wide, utterly stunned, unable to understand why Duan Gujin said it was for him.
Duan Gujin's eyes sparkled, and he asked, "Zhan Huantai, guess why I said it's for you. You must put yourself in my shoes and consider this."
Listening to Duan Gujin's words, Zhan Huantai gasped and his eyes flickered. His mind was racing, pondering why Duan Gujin said this was for him.
"Could it be that Mr. Duan is worried that once you leave, Zhan Changsheng will harm me?"
After a while, he asked doubtfully.
"Yes! You're right!"
Duan Gujin nodded emphatically.
"I'm telling you, it's me who Zhan Changsheng is concerned about, not you! If he finds out I've risen to a high position in the Divine World, he'll surely fear me and dread my revenge. I think he might use some means to eliminate me, though I doubt he has the ability to threaten me. Since he can't threaten me, he'll target those around me, maybe even you! I need to establish a good relationship with him, to say that we should let go of past grievances. I know you hate Zhan Changsheng deeply because your mother died because of him, but what he did was certainly his senior sister's orders! If you want to confront him directly, that's possible, but I think it's best to change your strategy, let him see your value, and then he won't harm you. Even if I don't return to assist you later, you'll have ways to deal with him! If you shift from hating him to maneuvering him, I think you might gain a lot of time, just wait until your power advances to the Shattering Void Realm; then you can find a way to handle him! How to deal with him in the future will be up to you!"
Duan Gujin said with a serious expression.
"Change strategies, you mean you want me to recognize him as my father?"
Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, Zhan Huantai immediately understood that Duan Gujin wanted him to acknowledge the father-son relationship with Zhan Changsheng.
"Yes! If you change strategies, not opposing Zhan Changsheng now, securing yourself a family standing is also a good choice. I can't always be with you, soon I need to enter the Ascension Academy, and later you'll have to stay on Yuanzhen Continent and coexist with Zhan Changsheng. If he intentionally controls your cultivation resources, it will become very difficult for you to quickly improve your cultivation in the future!"
Duan Gujin said.
"Right, what you said makes a lot of sense!"
Zhan Huantai agreed fully with Duan Gujin's logic, knowing Duan Gujin couldn't always stay on Yuanzhen Continent.
If he isn't around, it's possible Zhan Changsheng would aim to deal with him.
Although battling Zhan Changsheng is inevitable, if he can buy more time for himself, Zhan Huantai is very willing to seize more time.
"Tomorrow I'll take you to the Taihuang Immortal Sect, we're visiting Zhan Changsheng, not fighting him! At that time, you need to cooperate with my actions, I will reveal your identity. I understand you care deeply, but you need to know, the fact you're his illegitimate son should better be known to him!" Duan Gujin said.
