The Heroes of Gulong: Great Chefs from Past to Present

Chapter 614: The Ruthless Emperor
A sixteen-year-old girl falls in love with a righteous hero in his forties or fifties.
In Master Gu Long's world, this is perfectly normal.

Shangguan Jin and Huo Xiu are of the same generation, and Shangguan Feiyan is Shangguan Jin's granddaughter.

And Shangguan Feiyan fell in love with Huo Xiu.

Before traveling through time, Li Chaofeng never cared about this kind of relationship between people of different ages.

But after traveling through time, Li Chaofeng really had a daughter.

Will-o'-the-wisp and yellow hair have always been taboo words for old fathers living in modern society.

But for Li Chaofeng, who really had a young daughter, Hua Manlou's words inspired his endless imagination.

So much so that he forgot that the man in front of him was not only an ancient hero, but also called Hua Manlou.

Hua Manlou felt the anger in Li Chaofeng's tone.

But he didn't expect that Li Chaofeng's anger came from the scenario in his mind that his daughter might be seduced away by some old man with a haggard face and then abandoned.

The anger of the Red Flame Dragon has always been frightening, because it means death may come at any time.

But for Hua Manlou, death is never worth fearing.

Compared to death, he cared more about whether Li Chaofeng could understand what he wanted to say.

"I know exactly what I want to say. From my observation, Lord Dragon God doesn't seem to understand how to get along with Miss Liu?"

Li Chaofeng's nameless anger towards Huangmao and the ghost fire suddenly appeared.

But as soon as Hua Manlou finished speaking, it quickly disappeared.

Li Chaofeng gradually calmed down, staring at Hua Manlou's handsome face, thinking about the Hua Manlou in his memory.
Finally I began to think about what Hua Manlou wanted to say.

After straightening his body slightly to make Liu Yunzhi sit more steadily on his shoulder, he confirmed in a cold voice.

"Are you trying to teach me how to treat my own children?"

Hua Manlou smiled and shook his head: "With Lord Dragon God's knowledge, no one in the world can teach you anything."

"But for some things, those involved are always confused, while those who are watching can see more clearly."

Facing Hua Manlou's flattery, Li Chaofeng remained unmoved and spoke solemnly.

“A bystander sees more clearly, not because the bystander is smarter, but because the bystander never has to bear the consequences of the failure of the authorities.”

“And those in power always have to consider the consequences of failure, so they often get lost.”

Hua Manlou smiled: "With Lord Dragon God's courage to recreate the world, he can't be so brave as to listen to the opinions of bystanders, right?"

A method of provoking generals?

Li Chaofeng looked at Hua Manlou with a very alert expression.

This is a nearly perfect flower house.
Standing with his hands behind his back, Li Chaofeng reminded coldly.

"No matter how good your words are, I may not change. I may even feel bad about you. Are you sure you want to tell me?"

Hua Manlou nodded: "If I don't say some things, I will not only feel a lump in my throat, but also have trouble sleeping and eating."

Li Chaofeng narrowed his eyes: "Is what you want to say important?"

Hua Manlou bowed with a serious expression: "Yes."

Li Chaofeng sighed and finally said.

“You know your own warmth and coldness, your own sorrow and joy, all the flavors are part of life.”

"Life is never perfect, but if you want to talk about it, I will listen to it."

Hua Manlou was slightly stunned, because Li Chaofeng's words were saying
He knew what his problem was, but he couldn't solve it.

In this case, some things need to be expressed in a different way.

Frowning slightly, Hua Manlou asked doubtfully: "The Dragon God doesn't trust his own children?"

Li Chaofeng: “Trust is a very wonderful thing.”

“If there is no trust between people, there will be no friendship at all.”

"But trusting someone completely, while it can bring people together, can also make them blind."

"For ordinary people, this experience of being blinded and confused may be just a trivial mistake. It is good enough to admit the mistake and correct it."

"But for Li, any mistake will lead to countless human tragedies, so Li will not trust anyone."

"Even if she is my child."

Hearing this, Liu Yunzhi, who had been listening quietly, had tears in her eyes and shouted in a hoarse voice.

"Daddy."

Li Chaofeng raised his hand to comfort the somewhat nervous Liu Yunzhi and said with a wry smile.

"Yunzhi, I will always be your father, but I will never condone any mistakes you make because of your willfulness." Listening to Li Chaofeng's warning-like tone, Hua Manlou sighed in his heart.

Liu Yunzhi is the daughter of the Dragon God, and her martial arts skills are among the best among her peers.

But her temperament seemed extremely cautious, and she totally lacked the liveliness that a little girl should have.

This is entirely the result of Li Chaofeng's confessional teaching method.

"I know, Daddy."

As Liu Yunzhi's timid answer rang in his ears, Hua Manlou also asked with a stern face.

"Don't you think it's too early for Miss Liu to understand these principles now?"

Li Chaofeng snorted and asked back.

"I don't know when the flower boy should teach her these principles."

"Ten, fifteen, or twenty."

"Or wait until she really does something wrong, and then I'll tell her she shouldn't make a mistake?"

Hua Manlou frowned: "Hasn't the Dragon God ever heard of the truth that it is the greatest good to admit one's mistakes and correct them?"

Li Chaofeng asked back: "Then who should bear the consequences caused by her mistakes?"

Li Chaofeng looked directly at Hua Manlou's increasingly serious expression and asked again word by word.

"me?"

"But in the world."

"Who can, and who dares, let me bear any consequences!"

"Hua Manlou, even if you are as bold as you are, would you dare to do such a thing?"

As Li Chaofeng's majestic voice reached his ears, Hua Manlou's heart trembled.

But he still tried to hold his head high and face Li Chaofeng, and spoke every word.

"But now she is still a child."

"Kid, you shouldn't be thinking about these things so early."

"Hahaha"

Li Chaofeng laughed, but there was anger in his laughter.

"Hua Manlou, your background is so good that you have forgotten it."

"The world is full of children her age who can only eat from one meal to another or barely survive."

"Those children not only need to consider how not to make mistakes, but also how to survive in this ruthless world."

Hua Manlou felt a slight pain in his heart, but he still struggled.

"But she's your child."

Li Chaofeng interrupted: "So she can't make any mistakes, because any mistakes she makes may bring consequences that she can't bear now."

Hua Manlou began to be speechless.

In his mind, the reason why parents are parents is that they can be a support for their children when they are isolated and helpless.

But he didn't expect that when his parents were so strong that they could cover up all his mistakes,
Children actually lose any right to make mistakes.

But Hua Manlou couldn't say anything to refute Li Chaofeng.

Because this means that Li Chaofeng can put personal interests above public ones.

Is this the most ruthless imperial family?
Seeing Hua Manlou becoming depressed, Li Chaofeng's eyes also became sad.

There are always things in this world that won't make you happy even if you win.

And Li Chaofeng's life is always filled with such things.

Ignoring Hua Manlou's sadness, Li Chaofeng took a step forward and planned to move forward.

But just as he took a step, Hua Manlou looked up again and asked in a serious voice.

"Then why did you let Shangguan Danfeng kill Dugu Fang?"

"You are no longer the Scarlet Flame Dragon, but just a swordsman Long San whose dignity has been offended."

"Even if a swordsman is offended, he shouldn't force others to apologize at the cost of their lives, right?"

"Or do you just hate it when others make mistakes and it affects your reputation, but you yourself never care whether you make mistakes or not."
