Invincible cultivation strengthens: my son is a troublemaker Chapter 152: The Fusion of 2 Lies

Qin Chuan looked at Lin Yi and knew that this boy already believed in his identity.

His performance just now, although awkward in the eyes of outsiders, sothing that could make one cringe internally.

But from the perspective of the involved party, there were no issues, quite the contrary, it felt extrely real.

Those involved are often confused!!

He had a theoretical basis:

If you want to get close to soone, you can’t directly try to please them, you should first anger them!!

For instance, insult soone they care about, belittle sothing they value, this way, although it might be uncomfortable temporarily, it gives them a sense that—you want nothing from them!

No unsolicited kindness, if not deceitful, then you’re a thief.

When you try to please soone, they think you have ulterior motives, but when you are rude, they let their guard down.

Between strangers, if you don’t break down that invisible wall of caution, the relationship is hard to get close — they may smile politely at you, but internally they still guard against you, not treating you as one of their own.

So.

Qin Chuan’s first move was to directly insult Lin Yi’s father, as a "rival in love," degrading Lin Yi’s father entirely!

Then, he gently reversed the situation to bring them closer.

This way, Lin Yi would feel:

"This person insulted my father to my face, unafraid of my anger, suggesting he doesn’t care how I see him, nor has any designs on ."

"And since he saved , it’s mostly out of respect for my mother."

"This indicates he’s indeed an old acquaintance of my mother."

"He loves my mother, but my mother loves my father, which is why he dislikes my father and feels my father is unworthy of my mother, hence his degrading remarks about my father."

"But he truly loves my mother, so, upon witnessing my filial devotion, he’s gratified for my mother, thus treating kindly."

"Overall, he has feelings for my mother, and by extension, will take care of , so... I can regard him as an elder."

This is Qin Chuan’s reasoning.

And the actual effect was not far from what he imagined.

Of course, it doesn’t an this trick works on everyone, it relates to Lin Yi’s character as well.

The hero’s character has a trait—clear-cut gratitude and grudges, sees the bigger picture, and has filial piety.

Because of this, when Qin Chuan insulted his father, he didn’t imdiately lash out at Qin Chuan, after all, Qin Chuan saved him.

And because he sees the bigger picture, he could step outside his personal emotions to consider why Qin Chuan would insult his father this way—oh, it’s due to jealousy, turns out he likes my mother!

And because of filial piety, he could empathize with his mother, Qin Chuan loves his mother, so he felt a sense of intimacy towards Qin Chuan.

Love is the most beautiful thing in the world.

Those who’ve loved , even if there’s no outco, even if I don’t know who you are, thank you for liking nonetheless...

Humans are emotional creatures.

And once a person’s emotions are stirred, logic and intelligence take a back seat.

Lin Yi was emotionally stirred by Qin Chuan, and thus subconsciously led astray, not questioning much.

Moreover...

In fact, he also hoped Qin Chuan knew his mother because he wanted to know more about her!!

People always want to believe things beneficial to them.

Lin Yi hoped everything Qin Chuan said was true, so subconsciously he wouldn’t seek flaws, but would constantly convince himself "this is true, this is true" and continually find reasons to rationalize it.

Thus, leading to the current situation.

"Uncle Qin, can you tell , what is my mother’s true identity, and where is she now?"

Lin Yi asked seriously.

Hearing this, Qin Chuan fell silent.

He slowly turned around, hands behind his back, gazing out the window at the sky.

"Uncle Qin, you know, right!"

Seeing this, Lin Yi beca even more convinced, growing anxious, with heavy breathing.

However, Qin Chuan did not answer.

"Uncle Qin, please tell !"

Lin Yi’s voice carried a mix of determination and pleading.

"Sigh..."

Finally, Qin Chuan sighed and softly said, "With your current strength, even if you knew, what then?"

"I know I’m weak now, but I can beco stronger, endlessly stronger!" Lin Yi gritted his teeth and said.

"Hehe, just how strong can you get? Realm Emperor Peak or Peak of Martial Emperor?"

Qin Chuan shook his head with a disdainful smile.

"I..."

Lin Yi was at a loss for words. He, a re youth of the Transcendent Realm, though with ambitions higher than the sky, speaking of becoming an emperor sounded sowhat boastful.

So things can be done and even could have succeeded before.

At this point, Qin Chuan continued, "But let tell you, even if you beco a Martial Emperor, in your mother’s family’s eyes...you’re still an ant!"

"That’s impossible!"

Lin Yi exclaid like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "I don’t believe it! The Martial Emperor is the pinnacle of cultivation, exalted and invincible in the world, how can they be an ant?!"

It wasn’t disbelief, but an unwillingness to believe.

If the enemy was truly that terrifying, would he still have hope? Could he save his mother in this lifeti?

He didn’t want to accept such reality!!

"I know you don’t believe it, but this is the truth..."

Qin Chuan didn’t turn back, saying in a distant tone, "If it weren’t so, I would have rescued your mother long ago..."

"Senior, you!!"

Lin Yi’s body trembled violently, looking at Qin Chuan in shock, his voice trembling, "Are you... could it be you are already a Martial..."

Incredulity.

Absolute incredulity.

Like a story out of a legend!!

"Hehe, I once was, now... I am nothing." Qin Chuan turned around, gave a self-deprecating smile.

That smile carried a trace of loneliness...

"Is it because of my mother too?!"

Lin Yi’s mind instantly pictured a scene—a man of towering stature, striving to save the one dear to his heart, facing a vast sky filled with thunder and lightning, then a battle occurred in the sky, after a flash of lightning and thunder, the man’s battered body fell powerless...

"No, it’s for another reason."

Qin Chuan shook his head, knowing that if you always follow others’ words, you easily fall into traps.

Because the intent becos too apparent.

Moreover, you must consider the factors of other people; the words you say to one person should not differ too much from what you say to another, otherwise, when those two et, you’ll be exposed.

Qin Chuan gave a self-mocking smile and said, "Actually, my cultivation was sealed by another woman."

Lin Yi was suddenly shocked.

Yet, for so reason, a wave of relief washed over his heart.

Qin Chuan continued, "In those days, I ventured alone to that world, infiltrating that family, intending to take your mother away."

"But they were too strong, so strong that it brought despair, such terrifying heritage easily crushes all fantasies..."

"However, they didn’t kill but persuaded to leave, and I realized, from their standpoint, imprisoning your mother wasn’t wrong, it’s rely a matter of position."

"I wanted to save your mother because I didn’t want to see her suffer, and they imprisoned your mother for the family’s benefit and reputation."

"Thus, everyone was without fault."

"Since everyone was without fault, it naturally cos down to who’s stronger, so I had no ground to argue."

"At the ti, your mother also persuaded to leave through the prison bars, telling to let go of her, implying I would et another lady...Hehe, letting go, how can it be easy? So people, once entered into your heart, no matter how you try to forget, still reside in a corner of your heart..."

"However, I think I should indeed move on, a person is destined to have many regrets in life, but still must move forward."

"Then...later I traveled in that world, t Qin Zi’s mother, and brought her back to this world."

Qin Chuan’s face held even more self-deprecation now.

He gave a bitter smile, "Hehe, fate toys with people, later I discovered...the identity of Qin Zi’s mother and your mother were so similar...it seems I’m destined in this life to never escape this ordeal."

"You an, Qin Zi’s mother is also..."

Lin Yi’s eyes widened, inhaling sharply.

Qin Chuan didn’t answer, he stood with his hands behind his back, silently gazing out the window, his silhouette revealing a lonely and desolate look.
