No one will tell you why it became like this, nor will anyone tell you why it is like this. As time drifts by, many things take on another form.
Perhaps you always feel that this world is too cruel to you, but the cruelty you experience will always give birth to another kind of strength. They constantly seek themselves, complete themselves, and then break through themselves to reach a new height.
Ye Tiancheng did not want to tell him too much about his recent situation, so he chose silence.
In this situation, he became even more unfathomable. The more he didn't tell Su Muxian, the more Mu Xiang wanted to know, which made her mood very depressed. It must be said that she had entered another state, a state that could not be clearly described in words.
It is very likely that an insurmountable chasm will form between them. In this state, the relationship between the two is always vivid.
This relationship is likely unsustainable, and these are the signs of rupture.
Ye Tiancheng did not want to say this. Once it was said, it would cause greater harm, so he would bear it alone.
He never expected him to be this kind of person. Perhaps others could not understand it and always felt that he disliked him and suddenly wanted to distance himself. In fact, such misunderstandings are truly terrifying and lead to increasingly complex problems. One always feels that some things make them depressed, but in reality, there are not so many changes; it's just that they think too much.
Everyone's heart is very strange; they always misunderstand others. Ye Tiancheng doesn't care what others think; that's their business. As for what he has to do, he can do it with a clear conscience. However, it's better to meet less in the future. Once they are truly together, if something happens to him, it will be his fault, and Ye Tiancheng cannot tell Su Muxian about this.
After a brief exchange, the two set off again. The car stopped at a mountain pass. This was Mu Xiang's secret base and the last refuge for their clan. Hundreds of years ago, their clan built a base here as a backup in case the clan faced annihilation.
Only direct descendants know about this place.
Even Su Muxian only found out later.
Ye Tiancheng smiled faintly upon seeing this secret place. The Su family is truly cunning, always planning ahead. However, with this foresight, they have been able to continue their family to this day. Their elders were quite intelligent.
No one is not worried about their survival. People come into this world crying, not smiling, so this world is very bitter because everyone lives in a world of impermanence.
It is not shameful to be cunning and have multiple hiding places.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng did not feel it was shameful at all. On the contrary, he felt even more awe for the elders of the Su family.
With such a mindset, they have been able to proliferate their family to this day. This is truly remarkable. Without such ability, how could anyone continue their family?
After sighing with emotion, Ye Tiancheng followed Su Muxian into the secret base. This secret base was divided into five levels, with the lowest level being the core and the part that controlled the operation of the entire secret base.
That place was filled with various ancient secret components. There was no trace of modernity here; all the parts were made with ancient mechanical techniques.
These components had been running for thousands of years, and of course, many parts were worn out. However, there lived a group of skilled craftsmen who could repair the damaged parts.
Otherwise, how could these mechanical parts have been running for thousands of years? Everything wears out, everything breaks. Of course, only by constant repair can its integrity and continuous operation be preserved.
Ye Tiancheng was greatly impressed by this secret base. He never expected that the ancients possessed such technology and resources to build an engineering marvel that surpassed modern times in such a mysterious underground location.
If they had returned to ancient times, this Su family would have been an extremely powerful existence.
As Ye Tiancheng was pondering these questions, the first door opened. Inside were guards made of wooden figures holding knives and forks.
Seeing Ye Tiancheng and the others enter, they prepared to surround them. At this moment, Mu Xiang pressed something on the wall, and the wooden figures immediately stopped attacking.
Ye Tiancheng was amazed that these figures could attack automatically. He marveled that even current robots could not achieve such a high degree of intelligence. He wondered how the ancients had made these wooden figures possess human-like consciousness. This was a national treasure!
Su Muxian smiled at his surprised reaction.
"You, with your extensive knowledge, are surprised? I find it strange, what is there to be surprised about? This is how it should be. Don't you know our sect is called the Puppet Sect? Although we can't fight, we are very good at making things."
"So you are from the Puppet Sect. No wonder about these mechanisms. Since you are from the Puppet Sect, these mechanisms make sense. But why didn't you tell me? Is there something about me that makes you uneasy?"
"Of course, I don't want to tell you unless you become the son-in-law of our Su family. Only then can you know. Even I, as a granddaughter, cannot grasp the core secrets of the Su family."
Su Muxian couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and at the same time, she felt she had said the wrong thing.
Sometimes, people think they are very smart, but truly smart people never think they are smart. Instead, they feel their wisdom is insufficient and needs to be improved.
But Ye Tiancheng is such a strange person. When others like him, he dislikes them. When he dislikes others, he feels they should like him. His contradictory thoughts are truly laughable, like a two-faced person who is never satisfied.
"You are really quite funny. You always impose your own things on others. Do you think this is good? I think this is not good at all."
As she said this, she became angry. Everything made her feel extremely annoyed. If one could understand things more deeply sometimes, there would not be so many misunderstandings.
"This first level is the world of wooden figures; they guard here to protect our safety. The second level is the living quarters. The third level is naturally the material reserves. The fourth level is the processing workshop, and the fifth level is the core part that supports the operation of all the mechanisms."
Su Muxian introduced everything here to Ye Tiancheng, who listened with astonishment.
Ye Tiancheng followed Su Muxian's footsteps. When they reached the deepest part, he finally realized that it was not as perfect as he had imagined. Everything seemed to be possessed by evil spirits. He felt as if he had entered another world, a world that was like Liu姥姥 entering the Grand View Garden for him.
"I'm like a big fool. This is the first time I've seen Puppet Sect technology, and it makes me feel like I can't understand it. This has opened my eyes. To hide for so long, it's really annoying. Couldn't you have given me something more perfect from the start?"
As he said this, he felt he was truly foolish and naive, and treated like someone easily bullied. It was unbearable.
Seeing him like this, she couldn't help but tease him. Many things cannot be explained in words; they can only be expressed through such an attitude to show dissatisfaction.
Because a person always habitually does inexplicable things, like him, it's impossible to make people feel comfortable. When a person does many inappropriate things, it naturally makes people feel like they are nothing. Other women are definitely more important to him than her. Why should she reveal everything about herself when she met him?
It seems that there can be no mutual understanding between them, which makes it extremely awkward.
Seeing the two of them talking, the eldest young master of the Su family, Su Tiancheng, walked over and said sternly.
"It's not that I don't want you to know these things, but that you cannot know them. Because unless you marry my sister, nothing will be discussed."
"Brother, what are you saying? Isn't she unable to get married?" This makes her seem so cheap.
Su Muxian was very angry, especially saying such things in front of Ye Tiancheng...
Speaking of these things, it is indeed quite depressing. If some things can be stated directly and too clearly, it makes the whole issue more awkward. It must be said that some people always like to do inexplicable and very depressing things.
Some things cannot be stated too clearly and understandably. Time slips away from people's senses like quicksand. Too many uncertain things disappear without a trace in an instant. Perhaps some things you never feel are too vague.
"Time drifts away like a dream, and people are always regretting their search. Therefore, let's not live in such unreasonable arguments but live with a more fulfilling feeling. This feeling is very unreasonable and will make us seem too cheap. It's better for us to cherish everything in front of us and do the things in front of us diligently. That will be enough. In the past, I pursued what I wanted to pursue and constantly made myself more understanding."
