Chapter 670, Influence

"Me?"
"You."
Guo Changge smiled. Cheng Zhitao was already smiling.
Guo Changge suddenly got up and walked out. Cheng Zhitao did not stop him, just watched him. He walked to the door, his hand raised to open it, but the door was not opened, so he put his hand down again.
He finally came back to his original position, with no smile on his face, his eyes staring at the other party with a hint of anger. Cheng Zhitao, on the other hand, was still smiling.
"Say something," Guo Changge couldn't help but say.
What did you say?
“How can it be me?”
Cheng Zhitao looked relaxed and said, "It's a long story."
Guo Changge said, "Make it simple."
Cheng Zhitao stretched lazily and said, "I'm a little thirsty."
Guo Changge's eyes became sharp, "Are you playing me?"
Cheng Zhitao laughed and said, "I just wanted to drink some water."
Guo Changge was helpless, got up again, and this time really went out of the door, carrying a pot of tea and grabbing a cup back. As soon as he entered the door, he threw the cup out, and when he sat down, he threw the pot away, which ended up in Cheng Zhitao's hands.
He slowly poured a cup of tea, slowly placed the pot at the foot of the chair, and slowly sipped half of the tea before looking up at Guo Changge and slowly opening his mouth:
“When did you change your opinion?”
“What opinion?” Guo Changge asked.
“Of course, it's about the Illusion Heart Technique.”
Not long ago, Wen Qing also asked a similar question, Guo Changge couldn't remember when, and it's the same now.
“Is this important?” he asked. “People's thoughts always change slowly, often it's a process rather than a specific time.”
Cheng Zhitao laughed, "You want Wen Qing to go through this process now."
Guo Changge said, "Now you're talking about me, what do you want to do with her?"
Cheng Zhitao said, "You want to change her, just like I changed you before, except I'm smarter than you and didn't let you find out."
Guo Changge said, "Maybe it's not that you are smarter than me, but she is smarter than me."
Cheng Zhitao laughed, "Makes sense."
Guo Changge continued, "Or maybe, it's not you who's fundamentally changing me. Even though I don't know your purpose yet, you may just be talking nonsense right now."
Cheng Zhitao busily said, "Absolutely not."
Guo Changge said, "Didn't you start probing my opinion on the Illusion Heart Technique a long time ago? If I remember correctly, your idea at that time was to make me oppose Langtou, and now I can somewhat say that I have inherited his goal...Isn't this contradictory?"
Cheng Zhitao said: "I don't even want to oppose Yunlang myself, so why would I let you oppose him."
Guo Changge said: "You clearly want me to help you deal with him!"
Cheng Zhitao said, "I just want you to influence him, because I know that only you can influence him, and his influence on you is undoubtedly the greatest."
Guo Changge frowned and thought about his words, only to hear him say again:
"It's because you're father and son, do you understand?"
Guo Changge looked indifferent, "I've never acknowledged him as my father."
Cheng Zhitao said, "But he is your father, whether you acknowledge it or not, he is."
Guo Changge fell silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Just tell me, how have I affected him?"
Cheng Zhitao said, "You are the only connection he has to his past life. When he sees you, he inevitably recalls his past self to some extent. His heart temporarily softens, which has slowed down his plans and prevented him from becoming even more crazy. You should understand, if it weren't for caring about you, he wouldn't have only hurt Yun'er."
Guo Changge said, "So how does he affect me?"
Cheng Zhitao smiled and said, "Do I still need to say it? You have already taken over your father's business, haven't you?"
Guo Changge's face darkened immediately. "But we are different. His so-called goal is just an excuse. From beginning to end, he just can't let go of his hatred for you, but he dares not admit it. I, on the other hand, don't hate you, or anyone else for that matter."
Cheng Zhitao said in a deep voice, "What is hatred, after all?"
He looked down at the half cup of tea in his hand, paused, and said, "I think that hatred itself is actually a kind of pain. Many people in this world do many things, isn't it pain driving them? Anger, hatred, fear, guilt... the mask that cannot be taken off, the greed that is insatiable..."
He suddenly looked up at Guo Changge and said, "Why are you in pain again?"
Guo Changge didn't answer, but a flash of blood red crossed his mind, and a feeling of nausea followed. He bent over in pain and after a while, a white light appeared before his eyes.
"Feeling seasick... Have a sip of water." Cheng Zhitao said softly.
Guo Changge reached out and took the white teapot in front of her, tilted her head back and took two sips from the spout.
Cheng Zhitao didn't pursue the previous question, but suddenly laughed, "Where are your teeth?"
Guo Changge put down the teapot, "Ask your son."
Cheng Zhitao laughed again, "Is it really him?"
Guo Changge rolled her eyes and said, "Are you proud of yourself?"
Cheng Zhitao, however, sighed softly, "If Yan Lang could have been as straightforward as Le'er back then, saying whatever he wanted, punching whenever he wanted, perhaps things between us wouldn't have turned out like this..."
Guo Changge coldly interrupted him with a "hmph," saying, "The enmity between you two from the beginning is not something that can be resolved with just one punch."
Cheng Zhitao smiled helplessly, and Guo Changge continued, "And why are you only talking about Langtou? You are far inferior to the Young Master yourself, you two are simply nothing like father and son."
Cheng Zhitao laughed and said, "Thank goodness, thank goodness..."
As he said this, he knew very well in his heart that the current Cheng Le and his youth self were like two completely different people.
The bright memories flew by quickly and disappeared. He continued, "You said I am far worse than Ler... It seems you also think Ler is very good?"
Guo Changge smiled faintly and said, "Miss Xiaoqing's judgement, of course, will not be wrong."
He paused, his expression becoming serious, and said, "The young master...he...he is not suffering. In this regard alone, he is stronger than most people in the world."
Cheng Zhitao smiled and nodded slowly.
Guo Changge stared at him, "What is my pain, you should know very well."
Cheng Zhitao said, "I know you asked me to duel with Yun Lang, and I made a big decision. You never want to see anyone die, but many times you have no choice, so you need the Illusion Heart Technique."
Guo Changge said, "I don't care about you two. That was the only way at the time, and I don't need any determination."
Cheng Zhitao laughed but said nothing.
Guo Changge continued, "But if I could use the Illusion Heart Technique at will, back in the capital, I and Siyang wouldn't have to enter the palace to save people, I... I wouldn't have..."
He looked pained and could not speak any more.
Cheng Zhitao said, "I didn't expect you to enter the palace at that time."
Guo Changge seemed to suddenly realize something, stared at him, and said coldly, "So what did you expect?"
Cheng Zhitao said: "Rather than saying prediction, it's better to ask me what I know. According to the usual schedule, first of all, I know that when you arrive in the capital, the emperor is very likely to be summering in Liuxiang Garden. And I also know that Xiao Yu'an is very fond of women."
Guo Changge said, "So what?"
Cheng Zhitao said, "What do you think will happen?"
Guo Changge said, "Are you trying to say that among the people traveling with us, some are young women, and the emperor might set his eyes on them?"
Cheng Zhitao said, "What is the fact?"
Guo Changge frowned and said, "The fact is that we entered the palace too rashly. But since you did not anticipate that we would enter the palace, why would you have such worries?"
Cheng Zhitao said, "Worried?"
He smiled and shook his head, "Now you can say it's expected."
Guo Changge didn't understand, "What do you mean?"
Cheng Zhitao said, "Young people always think that everything will go smoothly, as if bad things will never happen. But I am not young anymore, so I always tend to expect the worst possible outcome. Do you really think that if the two of you don't enter the palace, the emperor will let go of the woman he fancies?"
Guo Changge said, "So when we left the villa, you felt that we might come into conflict with the emperor?"
Cheng Zhitao nodded. Guo Changge said, "But you didn't say anything at the time."
Cheng Zhitao smiled again and said, "Of course I won't say anything, I just hope for that."
Guo Changge frowned and asked, "Why?"
Cheng Zhitao drank the remaining half cup of water in one gulp and said slowly, "Because it was at that time that I planted the seed."
