I, Jianhao, infinite flow

"And all three of my kids were in the game."

"...Are you serious?" Yun Tian looked at Hei Tieyan in surprise.

This is undoubtedly the content of the official rhetoric, and this middle-aged man really thinks so.

From his tone, Yuntian didn't hear the slightest falsehood or politeness.

Yihui once told Yuntian that he was his father. Judging from Yihui's words, Yuntian always thought that Heitieyan should be a politician.

The original anime only has a short description of the character Kuro Tetsuyan, and it seems to be a villain for Ikki's transformation.

But now after seeing this person with his own eyes, Yun Tiancai realized that things were not that simple.

Because he discovered that Heitieyan really cared about his three children.

That's right, the three children, Ouma, Ikki, and Shizuku, are treated equally in his heart. He really came here to watch his children's games.

But this is strange.

After all, judging from what Ikki described to him before, family affection should not be so important to a man like Kuro Tieyan.

Just when Yuntian was surprised, Heitieyan bowed seriously to him, and said:

"My son has been taken care of by you all the time, and I'm really sorry that I didn't say hello to you until today."

Seeing Heitieyan's actions, Yuntian was completely shocked.

The other party's performance was completely different from his impression, and he seemed to be a very serious and responsible father.

However, the shock was only for a while, and soon Yun Tian calmed down.

At the same time, he also vaguely sensed the essence of this man Heitieyan.

"Patriarch Heitie came to me not simply to thank his son."

"Phew... that's true." Hei Tieyan's temperament changed after he lifted his body and let out a long sigh of relief.

If Hei Tieyan just now was a resolute and strict father, then Hei Tieyan now is a cold and ruthless machine.

"Next, I will talk to you as the head of the Black Iron family."

"As the head of the Kuroite family, I plan to formally sever the parent-child relationship with Ikki."

The unique voice, the tone as heavy as lead echoed in the grove.

This is a proposal to solve all the problems that have been entangled between Ikki and the Kurotetsu family so far at one go.

but…

"Why do you want to talk to me about this issue, shouldn't this be your Heitie family's housework?"

Yun Tian reached out and rubbed his forehead, and sighed helplessly.

"There's no need to say more about beating around the bush. I'll find you and find out the reason for 'Falling Star Sword Emperor'. You should be clear in your heart."

Hei Tieyan's expression didn't change at all, coupled with that cold and ruthless tone, he looked extremely serious.

"The Heitie family has no intention of fighting against the Celestial Dynasty. If this proposal will arouse your disgust and lead to a deterioration of diplomacy in a certain sense, it will be a great loss for the Heitie family."

"With your current strength, you are already qualified enough to influence these external decisions of the Celestial Dynasty."

Hearing Hei Tieyan's unabashed words, Yun Tian sighed again.

He knew that the Black Iron family had already made a decision.

As long as he nods his head or expresses that he will not interfere in other people's family affairs, then tomorrow at the latest, the official announcement will be sent to Ikki.

"Having won consecutive battles at the Seven Star Sword and Martial Arts Festival, the title of 'Uncrowned Sword King', as one of the top four in the Sword and Martial Arts Festival, already has considerable prestige and influence."

"The existence of this F-rank knight has already been known to people, and there is no way to continue to hide it. Therefore, at least he cannot be allowed to have a relationship with the Black Iron family."

"If there is turmoil in the future, it will be Ikki's responsibility alone. The Kurotsu family will not be implicated and blamed too much. That's what it means, right?"

Heitieyan nodded, affirming Yuntian's analysis without hesitation.

"Basically, that's right. The Black Iron family has been the representative of the country's swordsman group since the samurai era."

"Ikki's performance today is equivalent to taking the lead in breaking the framework that the alliance has always used to maintain order. Within a few years, there will undoubtedly be many idiots who overestimate their capabilities and challenge the world."

"With Ikki as the goal, those who dream of him will try to challenge their limits one by one."

"If the deaths of these people are all blamed on the Heitie family, it will have a serious impact on the Heitie family's prestige in the Far East."

"The fuse cannot be the heir of the Heitie family."

"Sure enough..." Yun Tian raised his brows. At this moment, he understood why Heitie Yan Mingming cared about Ikki and his children, but was so ruthless that he could cut off the bonds of relatives without hesitation.

"I didn't expect to meet people with similar experiences here."

Yun Tian was a little emotional.

He Tieyan is very similar to him, not in the belief of Ouma, but in the experience of the two.

This kind of "point of view" overrides the outlook on life, values, and world outlook, which is exactly the same as Yuntian.

And this distorted thinking can only be formed in one way, and that is the education in childhood.

The survival and rise and fall of the family are above all else. Obviously, when Heitie Yan was young, this creed was instilled as the life principle of his life.

Before understanding what parents are, what is heaven and earth, and what is the world, it is necessary to first understand that "family survival and rise and fall are above everything else".

"Don't you realize it yourself?" Yun Tian looked at Hei Tieyan with some interest.

"So what if you realize it?"

Heitieyan naturally knew what Yuntian was talking about.

"For me, this is not a bad thing, at least for the Black Iron family, even for the alliance and even the whole world, what I do is to maintain order."

"There's no need to change anything at all, I've always lived like this, don't you?"

Heitie Yan took a deep look at Yuntian, Yuntian saw through his "abnormality", so why didn't he see through Yuntian's "abnormality".

"Have you thought about changing?"

Yuntian was silent.

Hei Tieyan's question is indeed directed at the essence, because Yuntian himself has never thought of changing this way of life in the past.

Laughing at himself, Yun Tian suppressed this meaningless thought to the bottom of his heart, and brought the topic back.

"Let's make a deal."

Chapter 433 Trading and the Opening of the Semifinals

"...Are you sure this is not a joke?"

Heitieyan looked at Yuntian, he was a little confused about the other party's train of thought.

Just now, after proposing the transaction, Yuntian's request was to 'really accept Ikki as a member of the Black Iron Family'.

"You know it's impossible."

"Even if I nodded and agreed, it is impossible for other people in power in the family to support my decision."

"Your proposal is completely opposite to the best way in reality. It is the most correct choice for Ikki to sever ties with the Kurotetsu family."

"The Kuroite family has no spare time to be interested in the future of the person who has been expelled from the family. He can truly escape from the shadow of the Kuroite family. This is a proposal that is beneficial to both of us."

This is actually true, the fact is the same as Kurotetsu said, severing the relationship is beneficial to both Ikki and the Kurotetsu family.

The Kuroite family can disregard the relationship, and Ikki no longer has to worry about being deliberately made things difficult for him.

but…

"That won't do me any good."

Heitieyan was stunned by Yuntian's words.

"It's fine if you don't come to me, this is your family business and I'm not suitable to intervene."

"But now that the Heitie family is going to sell me a favor, and if they want to be concerned about me or the attitude of the Celestial Dynasty, then they have to come up with a corresponding bargaining chip."

"You found me because you wanted to use me to persuade Ikki to agree to this matter, because the Kurotsu family is not sure that Ikki will agree."

"There is no way to legally sever the blood relationship, so if Ikki takes advantage of it, the Kurotetsu family will end badly. Am I right?"

"...What do you want?" Heitieyan was silent for a while.

He had to admit that Yuntian basically saw through all the decisions made by the Heitie family.

But the only thing he didn't understand was, what kind of reward did Yuntian want?

"Didn't I just say that I want Ikki to officially return to the Kurotetsu family, or in other words, I want a promise that Ikki can return to the Kurotetsu family."

"You are completely contradictory..."

"Don't get excited, just listen to me." Hei Tieyan was interrupted by Yun Tian in the middle of his words.

Yun Tian first asked him with a smile:

"The head of the Kuroitie family thinks, under what circumstances can the Kuroitie family accept Ikki's return to the family?"

Although Heitieyan didn't understand Yuntian's meaning, he still replied without hesitation:

"As long as he is willing to give up becoming a magic knight and giving up his identity as a knife cutter, then the Black Iron family will naturally agree to let him return."

"Hmm... I don't mean such superficial things." Yun Tian shook his head lightly.

"To put it simply, as long as the result is obvious 'the advantages outweigh the disadvantages', then the Kurotetsu family will accept Ikki's return, right?"

Hei Tieyan didn't answer right away, he pondered for a while, carefully thinking about the meaning of Yuntian's words.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Yuntian with shocked eyes.

"What do you mean?!"

"No...it's impossible...no matter how talented Ikki is, he will never reach that level."

"What's more, at this age, it's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Seeing Heitieyan's shocked expression, Yuntian smiled.

He didn't directly refute Hei Tieyan's words, but mentioned another person.

"Patriarch Heitie should know Minister Moon Shadow, right?"
