"It's not necessary, I'm not worth such a high price, and the Liao Family isn't worth such a high price either..."
Yu Ziqing spoke lightly, but he didn't believe there wouldn't be some cost.
This notion of transferring the curse, it wasn't the first time he had heard about it; there had been other curses before that could be transferred.
But without exception, after transferring the curse, the bearer would endure an even greater cost.
That was the normal situation.
Even if the transfer was real, No.4 didn't understand why.
Yu Ziqing smiled calmly, and said.
"Your way of thinking has become just like those guys.
Starting today, you should try to change it.
Life isn't defined purely by listing its value.
Even if we talk about value, I've always believed that living people have higher value.
Many times, it's not necessary to consider whether it's worth it or not.
If you can't understand, just think of it as a priceless thrill, and as for me, I'm willing.
Besides, I can bear the cost."
No.4 was silent for a long time; with his current mindset, he couldn't understand why.
Being able to bear the cost and the size of the cost are two different concepts.
His mind was shaken, feeling as if his worldview was being reshaped.
He didn't know what to say, he achieved the best result he could think of, but he didn't know what to do.
Yu Ziqing smiled, patted his shoulder.
"Stay alive, don't die.
I know they'll definitely learn about us being attacked, but I need to know exactly when they find out.
If No.1 and No.3 leave, then everyone left behind will be abandoned.
Then you act accordingly.
But whatever you do, don't die, because if you do, I won't care about your kin."
No.4 knew it was a joke, he said nothing, just solemnly nodded.
"To break the curse, the best way is to meet the old master of the Liao Family, you better arrange it. I don't want to see anyone from the Liao Family, nor do I want anyone knowing that I'm the one breaking the curse."
No.4 quietly departed, still feeling somewhat disoriented and in disbelief.
He still didn't understand why Yu Ziqing was willing to transfer the curse onto himself and endure those costs.
He could handle it, but the cost would undoubtedly be high.
Yu Ziqing didn't even want to meet anyone from the Liao Family, which meant he had no intention of controlling the Liao Family.
But he himself absolutely didn't have such value.
The deeply ingrained mindset made it impossible for him to understand.
Just like sometimes, he couldn't understand why he was willing to do these things for the Liao Family, for his daughter.
The next day, the tomb of the old master of the Liao Family was robbed.
When the Liao Family discovered it, they only found a line of words left there.
"I've taken this curse away."
The Liao Family immediately sealed off the information, and everyone who knew about it was controlled.
Through the sensing of the strong in the Liao Family, they detected the person who took away the copper coffin had the same curse aura as theirs, they knew who took the coffin.
Their curse hadn't intensified again, proving that the curse hadn't changed.
After a discussion, they agreed to pretend the incident hadn't occurred.
On that day, the copper coffin appeared in Yu Ziqing's hands, along with the method to open it.
Yu Ziqing wasn't in a hurry to break the curse; he had to wait a few days.
Wait until No.4 is left behind as a discarded pawn, then he can try.
This time, take the opportunity to initiate a large-scale brewery operation, every timing aspect is crucial.
The White Water Eggs won't voluntarily abandon those people, where would Yu Ziqing's chance come?
When people are well-fed, well-drunk, and brainwashed, what reason does Yu Ziqing have to turn them against in a few words?
He's been waiting for this chance for quite some days.
New River God enters the Mother River.
The Daqian army mobilizes to seal off the Mother River.
Several river gods of the Mother River's tributaries are also covertly monitored immediately.
Within the Langya Institute, someone leads a team out of the institute.
Within the Dali Territory, the Shadow Department has long been prepared, and other forces are also waiting, definitely not allowing those Faceless Men to flee into Dali.
Inside the White Water Eggs organization.
No.1 is already delegating authority to No.4, assigning tasks.
"I've watched your performance over the years, and now I'm about to go out for a while; you'll handle everything in the base for now."
