People can stay, but they can never have children.
When Wei Zhaohai threatened to "sever the relationship between grandfather and grandson", Wei Changtian knew that his attitude would never change no matter what.
The smile on his face slowly faded away, he lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and then slowly asked:
"Grandpa, you must have gone to see Liu Shi before coming here."
"Yes." Wei Zhaohai didn't hide anything.
"Then she..."
Wei Changtian raised his head and asked again: "What did you say?"
"Liu Shi, she..."
Wei Zhaohai paused and replied with only four words.
“Very knowledgeable.”
"..."
The aroma of porridge floats faintly in the dining hall, and the dishes on the table are extremely delicate.
Wei Changtian didn't say whether it was okay or not. He shook his head and sat down to continue eating.
Wei Zhaohai looked at him, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally didn't offer any more advice, and just sighed softly.
"Oh, Changtian."
"I am doing this for your own good, and even more so for the future of the Wei family."
"..."
...
I'm doing this for your own good.
In my previous life, this sentence actually often appeared in the mouths of parents, elders, bosses, and even friends.
Similar sentence patterns include "You are still too young", "You will understand in the future" and so on.
These words sound sincere on the surface, but people who are educated often feel uncomfortable.
Because there is a logic implicit in it——
I'm good for you, so you have to listen to me.
Obviously, this level of logic does not hold.
After all, everyone has different experiences and handles problems in different ways. It is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong.
Therefore, the sentence "I am doing it for your own good" is actually just a kind of emotional kidnapping.
But at this moment, although Wei Zhaohai used family affection to "threaten" Wei Changtian, if viewed from a third party's perspective, he is undoubtedly the "right" party.
Even if he could accept a witch named Yang Liushi marrying into the Wei family, this was already a concession that most people could not achieve.
As for having a baby...
Why is it that in this huge world, no place tolerates intermarriage between humans and demons?
Why is "no mercy for monsters" written into the laws of almost every dynasty?
Why do humans have such a strong and unshakable hatred for monsters?
There is no doubt that the contradiction between humans and demons in this world is more irreconcilable than any kind of racial discrimination in the past.
And is the reason just because "people who are not from my race must have different minds"?
Or is it because some monsters often commit evil acts such as "cannibalism" before they transform?
Of course the above is one of the reasons.
But that's not the most critical issue.
The real reason why humans and demons can never be "one and the same" lies in the matter of "having children."
As long as it is the offspring of one person and one demon, regardless of whether the male is a demon or the female is a demon, the offspring will also be a demon.
And it is a demon that has taken on the form since birth.
Just like Li Wutong.
She is actually a deer demon, but she has never experienced the process of transformation. Instead, she was directly born into the world as a human baby and grew up little by little.
In this case, unless you check carefully, you won't be able to detect that she is a witch at all.
After all, even Li Wutong herself had always thought that she was human. It was not until Yu Pingjun told the truth that she understood why she had been slightly different from others since she was a child.
If it were more straightforward.
If it weren't for Mr. Yu Ping, it might take a long, long time for Li Wutong to realize his true identity.
At that time, she was most likely married and gave birth to a child...
It seems that there is nothing scary at this point.
After all, what if he is actually a demon?
After all, they all look like humans, and the mental orientation of demons incarnate is not inferior to that of humans. Just treat them as humans.
As long as they don't mess around, no one will be disgusted with living with the demon clan.
When you think about it this way, it seems like it's really nothing.
But if we expand the scope and extend the time, we can look at it again.
If one day, humans really "fully liberalize" the bottom line of intermarriage between humans and demons, then the number of demons will undoubtedly begin to increase at an exponential rate until one day...
Completely replace humans.
That's right, it means completely replacing humans.
By that time, only the transformed demons will be left in this world, and the last human being will become extinct because he cannot find another human being of the opposite sex to marry.
It is obvious that the leaders of the human race have long realized this.
So, in order to prevent all this from happening, no opening can be left open.
No matter you are the emperor of a country or an ordinary citizen, no matter you are a top expert or a countryman... you may be able to cooperate with the demon clan, you may be able to become friends with the demon clan, or you may even fall in love secretly.
But giving birth to an heir is absolutely not possible.
Just like "environmental protection" in previous lives, this is an absolute consensus that all human beings can rarely reach regardless of country, religion, region, or gender.
Going further, this is even the responsibility that everyone should bear for the continuation of the race.
Of course Wei Changtian understood this, so just now he didn't say anything like "I don't care about this, I only know that Liu Shi is my woman" like the protagonists of previous online articles.
But on the other hand, he could also understand Yang Liushi's mood.
The painful feeling of never being able to be a mother in this life.
Therefore, Wei Changtian did not answer Wei Zhaohai just now.
As for what answer he will give in the future... Wei Changtian doesn't know yet.
After all, the problem this time did not arise because of a certain person or a certain force. As long as he solved the other party, it would be over.
This time, if he insists on "having his own way", then it will really be "against the whole world for you".
...
...
After finishing breakfast in silence, they went to the south of the city to see off Zuo Huiyu and the others.
There is not much to say about the process, except that Li Huaizhong wanted to return the piece of life-saving iron that Wei Changtian gave him before entering the teleportation array, but Wei Changtian didn't want it, and instead gave it to him as a thank-you gift for the trip to Bailing Mountain.
No matter how you say it, the old eunuch put in a lot of effort on this trip.
Although the two of them had been on opposite sides because of Ning Yongnian before, their relationship has eased a lot, even if it can't be said to have "resolved their feud".
"Da da da......"
As the sound of horse hooves faded away, the three carriages quickly disappeared into the morning mist outside the city.
Wei Zhaohai said he was going to continue interrogating Yan Huanwen, so he went to Xing Prison first.
Wei Changtian stood there for a while, and then took a car to the single courtyard where Yang Liushi and Liang Qin lived temporarily.
"Mr. Wei, Mrs. Liang went to the military camp early in the morning, and Mrs. Yang is still in the house."
The Shu army soldier who acted as the concierge stood straight: "Would you like me to go and report it first?"
"No, I'll go find her myself."
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian walked through the front yard alone, walked around a corridor, and soon stood outside the door of a side room.
"..."
Looking at the closed door, he raised his hand, but did not knock on it.
Wei Changtian hesitated for a long time, but finally took back his hand, turned around silently, and walked along the way he came.
I don't know if it was because of his unhealed injuries, but his steps were a little heavy, and his blurry figure made him look even more desolate in the early morning mist.
But at this time, in the side room, Yang Liushi was actually standing behind the door that had never been knocked.
She also stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to open the door.
However, until Wei Changtian's figure completely disappeared, the wooden door had not been opened.
The distance between people may be like this.
Sometimes very close, sometimes infinitely far away.
