[2] Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Ch 1231 - 1235

C1231 Use And Be Used

"You have never thought of stopping using other people for your goal, have you?" Emperor Yang Zhou asked calmly.

"Everyone will use other people be it knowingly or not, willingly or unwillingly. It's impossible for you to interact with other people without using them even if it was only to give you company during some time." Long Qian Xing was calm.

People call him despicable, dual faces, ruthless, and many others. But Long Qian Xing himself knew that these words were true and had no intention to refute it. During interaction, everyone used each other.

The difference was the scale.

Some people who were treated as friends would definitely willingly help because they felt that the other party was a person who was worthy of it. Or those who were treated as families, they traded emotional bonds with each other.

And there were also business relationship and many others.

Relationships were very complicated and Long Qian Xing was simply a person who would like to make use what was available to him to the fullest. It was to the point that people would call him cold blooded for even scheming against other people to the point that they would not be able to do anything.

In this world, it was indeed very ruthless.

Because many people here much kinder than him and would not try to calculate other people so much.

But Long Qian Xing knew that it was impossible for him to change.

In his previous life, this was his method of survival. Masking his real intentions, using words and gestures to use other people, and eventually became a person who couldn't be read by others. That was his way to protect himself and Long Qian Xing had no intention to change it.

Because he knew that as he was getting to higher position, there will be more people who wanted to take advantage of him.

In order not to let them do that, he always had to prepare his way out.

"Indeed." Emperor Yang Zhou had to agree with Long Qian Xing.

He himself was not any better.

Living in the Imperial Palace, the scheming between people were even clearer and it taught him how to use other people to his advantage. Relying on many things that could pull people to their side, he himself had already done many despicable deeds.

No one's hands were clean.

Their hands had long been stained with blood.

"I'm sure that you have already seen that other people also have some other intentions, Your Majesty. They're the same as me as they also want to use other people in other to achieve their goal."

"Yes, but they're not as good as you in hiding their intention." Emperor Yang Zhou could still guess a bit when it was other people, but when it came to Long Qian Xing, he felt that it was really hard. Long Qian Xing was very good at concealing his real desire and took the steps very carefully.

It was so careful that people would wonder what was inside their mind.

"That's because I'm used to it." Long Qian Xing smiled.

His past built the present him.

Even though the young Long Qian Xing in this world had different experience, he had also seen the darkness many times. After all, being the successor of Long Family, how could there be no one who wanted to use him?

Some people who showed kindness to him only wanted the benefit they could obtain because of his position.

Some people who tried to curry favor with him was trying their best to get the benefit.
