The White-Bearded Old Man sat quietly to the side, watching Diwu Qingrou lost in thought.
Outside the room, his supreme divine thought completely blocked any information from reaching this place.
Diwu Qingrou was deep in contemplation.
He first thought of Chu Yang, but after some consideration, he felt it was impossible.
This matter could only be pushed along after knowing one’s strategy; however, right now, Chu Yang should not be aware that the Ye Family was the source of the messages.
Moreover, he had not heard of any conflicts between the Ye Family and Chu Yang, right?
Besides, with Chu Yang’s current strength, he couldn't possibly confront the Ye Family or leverage the Ling Clan's power…
"Three Ancestors, are you sure about the people around Chu Yang?" Diwu Qingrou asked again.
"He only has two women, one big and one small; what’s there to be uncertain about?" The White-Bearded Old Man frowned and replied.
"I still feel something is off." Diwu Qingrou rubbed his brow. "This person usually acts after planning and will not take action without certainty. Furthermore, he has traveled thousands of miles alone to Heaven's Secret City; how could he be without support? Relying on Han Xiaoran… obviously wouldn’t work. So, what gives him such confidence?"
The White-Bearded Old Man began to feel puzzled. "That kid, although a genius, is still just an insignificant figure. I don't understand why you pay no attention to the supreme beings of the Ye Family, Ling Family, and Lan Family but are so concerned about this kid?"
Diwu Qingrou took a deep breath and said, "Three Ancestors, you may not know this, but while the supreme is powerful, when carrying out a task, someone is still needed to direct them. Pointing out the target allows them to forge ahead and complete the task. Without someone to give them a target, a supreme being is merely a powerful warrior."
He smiled faintly. "After all, in this world, there are very few supreme beings who can direct themselves and see clearly!"
He leisurely looked out the window. "Among the nine great clans and the enforcers, only a handful stand at the pinnacle of supreme within the Nine Heavens; when people mention them, they are always those… But it cannot be denied that in this vast world, there exist countless supreme beings! It’s just the level is different."
"And among these countless supreme beings, there isn’t a single one who can definitively say… they can direct themselves!"
Diwu Qingrou shook his head lightly. "They are always being restrained by others, so such supreme beings are not terrifying. What’s terrifying is the hand that points the direction behind the supreme. The owner of that hand, even if they are incapable of harming a chicken, is a far more fearsome existence than the supreme!"
"This is wisdom! Strategy and intelligence! Schemes! Tactics!"
Diwu Qingrou's voice was calm.
The White-Bearded Old Man behind him was also a high-level supreme; moreover, he was under Diwu Qingrou’s restraint and, by seniority, was Diwu Qingrou's Ancestral Patriarch. Logically, Diwu Qingrou should speak cautiously, but he spoke candidly.
The White-Bearded Old Man listened earnestly, showing no sign of dissatisfaction.
"No matter how vast Nine Heavens is, or how powerful the supreme, even if they can completely change Nine Heavens or fold the nine heavens, it still requires immense wisdom! It’s not something that can be achieved by brute force alone. Therefore, the hand that controls everything is the most terrifying."
"Chu Yang is that hand!" Diwu Qingrou smiled. "Even if he has no martial power, as long as he dares to go somewhere, he must have some sort of assurance! Moreover, he must have a clear purpose!"
"Such a person is the most dangerous. As for the supreme beings of the Ye Family and Ling Family… if I were to make a small move, eliminating them one by one wouldn’t be difficult at all." Diwu Qingrou smiled lightly and raised his gaze. "In fact, we might not even need our own people to act…"
