Yang Tiansheng cast a glance at his own father and said with a serious tone, "Father, your son wants to say a few words, and you mustn’t get angry or hit your son..."

"Sometimes, I simply can’t stand those foolish and evil rebels in our sect, shouting slogans that shake the heavens, claiming to support and save the world, to rescue the common people from desperation... But what actual deeds have they accomplished?"

"Whenever there is a meeting, it is all about the greater good, pros and cons, advantages and disadvantages!"

"When it’s time to actually do something, they either make endless excuses or they pull everyone back."

"Then look at Yang Ge, does he not understand what the greater good is, what matters more or less, what are the advantages and disadvantages?"

"All you know is that the man is fierce and rash, but your son tells you, that man’s mind works better than most people I have ever met... At least, he’s smarter than those in our sect who keep spouting about the greater good, pros and cons, and yet none of them can measure up to Yang Ge!"

"He understands everything, sees everything clearly and distinctly!"

"Yet he still does what he thinks is right, in defiance of their notions of the greater good, pros and cons, and advantages and disadvantages!"

"That’s why the common folk of Jiangzhe remember him, they get a bigger flatbread when they mention his name!"

"Believe it or not, if he went to Jiangzhe and shouted to rebel, most of the common people there would rise up and follow him!"

"If you or I, or those fools in our sect who have been trying to rebel for generations went there to try, see how many common people would recognize the Ming Sect’s name?"

"Our Ming Sect has been a reputable name for hundreds of years!"

"Yet it still can’t compare to Yang Ge’s three months in Jiangzhe!"

"Don’t you understand why?"

Yang Yinghao looked at his foolish son, and the words "damned fool" on the tip of his tongue slowly turned into "awesome."

Is this still my foolish son?

How did he come to understand all these things?

I haven’t even figured it out!

Confronting his father’s piercing gaze, Yang Tiansheng strategically leaned back, feeling guilty, and whispered, "Well, well, let’s agree first, no slapping the face, no hitting the head..."

Yang Yinghao raised his hand, and as Yang Tiansheng closed one eye in anticipation of the blow, he gently patted his arm and said warmly, "You’ve made a good point, you see things more clearly than your father... But what’s the benefit?"

He tapped the table lightly, speaking at an even pace, "This is not a small matter; facing the secret obstruction of Chu and the Prince’s residence, standing up to those Dongying ronin causing trouble, we would need to mobilize at least four to five thousand troops."

"If we succeed, the Emperor will strike at us, Chu and the Prince’s residence will strike at us, and for a long time afterward, we’ll have to lie low and avoid the limelight."

"If we fail, not only will we suffer heavy losses, but our Ming Sect’s reputation will be utterly tarnished, and we’ll never be able to hold our heads up in the sect again."

"Taking such a big risk and putting in so much effort, all for the common people of Jiangzhe to remember us Ming Sect favorably."

"Is it worth it?"

Yang Tiansheng shook his head, "Father, you can’t say that, whether we succeed or not, it’s all about the attitude, the attitude of our Ming Sect wanting to do everything possible to make this world a better place!"

"As long as we try to do this, who on the rivers and lakes will be able to point their finger at us and curse us as a demon cult afterward?"

"We’ll still be called a demon cult even if we fight the Japanese invaders, so should these so-called righteous people not step up to subdue the barbarians?"

"Furthermore, after this, whether we in the Ming Sect rebel again or not, we will have laid the foundation for a rebellion!"

"If the Zhao Family can truly secure this realm, then we’ll live our days peacefully."

"If the Zhao Family can’t hold on to this realm, then we’ll surge forth and overturn Wei!"

"It’s better than continuing to bear a bad name and being disrespected by everyone, right?"

"If you really worry, we don’t have to use sect forces; I’ll just take my men to the coast, and we’ll do as much as we can..."

Yang Yinghao picked up the teapot refilled with water, slowly pouring two cups of hot tea, pushed one cup towards Yang Tiansheng, and sipped from his own cup while pondering for a long while before finally making up his mind, "If my son is willing to make progress, as a father, I shall support him wholeheartedly!"
