Chapter 1075 (One Thousand and Seventy-Five) Equivalent
Wu Xunsheng said: "Young Patriarch thinks so too. I think so too. I think that although... although we are not of the same kind, we do have the same views on some things."

Tie Hongyan said: "But, the situation you just described is very different from whether you worship my father as your 'father', right?"

"Perhaps in the eyes of many people, they are two completely different things, but... Young Clan Leader, you know, I lived in the Orphanage Hall for a period of time when I was a child. Some of the things that happened during that period left a deep impression on me. I remember that a master in the Orphanage Hall told us orphans that if we are adopted in the future, we should regard the adopter as our father or mother. If no one adopts us, when we grow up and get married and worship our 'Jiefu' or 'Jiemu', we should regard our 'Jiefu' or 'Jiemu' as our parents. What I heard when I was a child took root, so in my heart, 'Jiefu' or 'Jiemu' can be said to be the same thing as parents. If I worship my 'Jiefu' or 'Jiemu', in my heart it is like recognizing my parents. If this kind of thing is forced... just like what the Young Clan Leader said just now, there is no choice, of course it is uncomfortable." Wu Xunsheng said.

"So in your mind, 'Jie's father' and 'Jie's mother' are equivalent to your parents." Tie Hongyan said, "You said 'if this kind of thing is forced', of course you would feel uncomfortable. Based on your feeling, do you think someone would force you?"

"I can't feel it at all at the moment." Wu Xunsheng said, "When I was a child, after I learned that the clan leader was going to the Yugu Hall to select people, I asked several people in charge of the Yugu Hall whether being selected by the clan leader counted as being adopted. All of them said no, and that the selected people would go to Tiecangting to work, and all the benefits they enjoyed in Tiecangting were only considered as wages for their work. It was only after I confirmed this that I voluntarily participated in that selection activity. My biological parents hold a very special place in my heart. Although I was still young at that time, I could no longer accept recognizing other people as my parents, no matter who they were. With my personality at that time, it was impossible for me to voluntarily recognize other people as my parents. Therefore, no matter who I was asked to recognize as my parents, it would only be forced. Even if it was someone who was ready to adopt me, I would not accept it. I would rather give up the opportunity to be adopted and stay in Yugu Hall to be adopted by other children. Bullying. That time when the chief went to the Yugu Hall to select people, I thought it was a rare opportunity. The selected people could be taken away from the Yugu Hall but were not considered adopted, and did not have to recognize other people as their parents. I really hoped that I could be selected. I was still young at that time, and there were some things I could not think of. When I grew up and thought about it again, in fact, whether it was considered adoption or not and whether to recognize parents was not something that the few people in charge of the Yugu Hall could decide. As long as you were taken away from the Yugu Hall, it was decided by the people of Tiecangting. I have lived in Tiecangting for so many years, and no one has ever asked me to recognize anyone as my parents. But now the situation is different. If I form an alliance with you and continue to live within the scope of the Tiecang tribe, if I am considered to be living in the chief's house, I must worship the chief as my 'father', and this can only be forced. Whether I am considered to be living in the chief's house is not up to me, so I can't feel whether I will be forced at the moment."
