The Human Emperor (1-200)

C13: Yao Guang Yi's Doubt

“Incompetent fellow!”

Seeing Yao Feng’s expression, Yao Guang Yi couldn’t help but criticize him. This child had outstanding talent but in terms of scheming and worldly wisdom, he was still far from the level required to become the head of the Yao Clan.

Putting aside that old man above him, Yao Feng probably didn’t even inherit 10% of his own skills. This was also the reason why he was hesitant to hand over the authority over the clan to him.

“Have you ever heard of a saying called ‘trying to conceal a truth, only to expose it more’?”

“Ah!”

Kneeling on the floor, Yao Feng suddenly came to a realization. His body shuddered in excitement.

Only then did Yao Guang Yi nod his head in satisfaction.

“Even though many people had seen me standing head to head with Wang Yan, it was also possible for it to be intentional doing on our part. After pulling so many of King Song’s allies to our side, King Song is already suspicious of everyone around him. As long as we continue on with our previous plan and fan the flames of doubt in his heart, eventually he will truly believe in Wang Yan’s betrayal, especially after we strike the fatal blow by the border.”

“Betrayal is still acceptable. After all, it is human nature to go along with the flow. However, if a person like King Song were to realize that he had been duped and made a fool of, how do you think he will react?”

A sinister aura crept around Yao Guang Yi. At the end of his words, Yao Feng trembled involuntarily.

‘A plan to attack minds is far superior to a plan to attack a fortress’. In terms of understanding human personality and scheming, he was far from his father’s capabilities. On this aspect, Yao Feng could only kneel on the floor and listen to his words.

“Wang Yan has a straightforward and inflexible personality. This time, King Song had summoned him over and as long as he answered wrongly, perhaps the matter would be settled without even requiring me to make a move.”

Yao Guang Yi’s gaze into the distance, as though looking through the Yao Residence to peer into the distance. However, he soon regained his senses and helped Yao Feng up.

“Stand up, you don’t have to worry about this! ——Father has something more important for you to attend to.”

“What is it?”

Yao Feng was astonished. What else could be more important than King Song, King Qi and his father’s plans?

“Somehow, I feel that something is amiss with that sibling pair from Wang Clan. If the incident today was just a coincidence, it was nothing much. However, I fear that it wasn’t so.”

Yao Guang Yi’s eyebrows were tightly knitted together and he seemed to be in a dilemma.

“Them?”

Yao Feng couldn’t help but exclaim. He would have never thought that the important matter referred to this:

“Those siblings are only mere kids in their teens, does father think that they were able to see through your plans?”

Yao Feng was in a state of disbelief. He never thought that his father, despite his wisdom and means, would fear two small kids.

“Even though they are only in their teens, didn’t they knock you unconscious in the Vast Crane Pavilion?”

Yao Guang Yi said with a dark face.

“But that is an entirely different matter!”

Yao Feng admitted that the little girl from the Wang Clan had fearsome strength, but he would never believe that those two children were so incredible as to pit against his father’s wisdom, seeing through the ploy which even their father, Wang Yan, failed to see through.
