Chapter 280: Holding a grudge
“Two possibilities.”
"1. He wants you to die. The survival rate in the White Robe Trial is one in ten thousand. How much does he know about you? How can he ensure that you will survive? If he wants you to die, what is the probability of achieving this goal? That’s much higher.”
"It's just that--" Number One Under Heaven protracted his tone, "from my intuition, this possibility is not high."
"Oh?" Rong Qing was quite interested, "How do you say it?"
"Because you don't have to participate. This white robe trial can attract you, but you don't have to go. What's more, the second possibility I want to talk about, I think it has a higher probability of being true."
"That Changfeng, or the people behind him, they think you can successfully become the inspector. And once you become the inspector, you will be a great help to their group. If not, they will just let you die. , why bother to explain a lot of things to you, such a waste of time and trouble," the number one in the world clicked his tongue and shook his head, "the price-performance ratio is too low. "
The price-performance ratio is too low... Rong Qing is speechless, is this trying to bury her?
After the number one in the world finished speaking, he folded his sleeves with his hands and circled Rong Qing while looking her up and down.
"Master, what are you doing?"
"I'm thinking, who is so discerning and discerning?" Number One Under Heaven was a bit puzzled, "You should look quite low-key. With just one glance, you can tell that you are a genius worth investing in? This... Not likely."
He shook his head, "Unless I know you before. Do you have a clue?"
"Changfeng, I'm sure I've never seen him before."
"That Changfeng is probably just a little guy, so don't worry too much." He waved his hand and said, "It's just your intuition. You can't have no idea about the forces behind him."
"..." Rong Qing's eyes were blank and she began to recall her previous conversation with Changfeng.
Since Changfeng represented the forces behind him to have a friendly first contact with her... Rong Qing believed that Changfeng could not have not hinted at all.
Rong Qing meditated for a long time, and Number One Under Heaven was waiting quietly beside her, not rashly interrupting her thoughts.
A long while.
"No way..." she said suddenly.
"What did you think of?" Number One Under Heaven asked quickly.
"I thought of a possibility, but," she shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I think it's unlikely."
"Tell me about it, any possibility that comes to mind is not groundless." He motioned for Rong Qing to continue speaking, "Because there are always some clues that you didn't pay special attention to that remain in your memory, forming a hint that makes you think of something. Some kind of possibility."
"I guess," Rong Qing pursed her lips, "the power behind Changfeng is probably from a certain family in the alliance of aristocratic families."
Of course the number one in the world has to ask: "Why?"
"Because when the Zunjie does not interfere, unless there is a major event that triggers a cross-spiritual war and requires communication with the Zunjie, how the forces within the subordinate spirit world fight is their own business. The situation of the separation of forces in the Xuanfeng Realm It is not static, and it is normal for one thing to ebb and flow. The changes in the strength of various forces do take a long time, and it takes almost tens of millions of years to see obvious changes, but everything needs an opportunity. "
"This cross-border battle is such an opportunity. With proper preparation and operation in advance, the strength of Xuanfeng Mansion can be reduced. Xuanfeng Mansion is just a branch house, and the loss of strength will not affect the power of Hades. How much influence does the foundation have? "At most... when Xuanfeng Mansion reports its annual performance to the general government, it will be criticized by the entire Thirty-sixth Mansion, and then the benefits and bonuses will be cut, and the next year's allocation will be significantly cut. The budget of the feudal government.
Rong Qing thought it was unlikely that Xuanfeng Mansion could be completely destroyed. Presumably Family United thought the same way.
"The foundation of the alliance between the aristocratic families is in the Xuanfeng Realm. The decline in the strength of the Xuanfeng Palace means the increase in the strength of the aristocratic families. In addition, the cross-border war can take thousands of years. Such a long time, coupled with a large number of The inspectors were removed and the internal turmoil in Xuanfeng Mansion was enough for the families to unite to fish in troubled waters and increase their strength. "
"What you said makes sense." Number One Under Heaven asked again, "Then why do you think it is a certain aristocratic family? To deal with Xuanfeng Mansion, the aristocratic families should be united."
"Going undercover in Xuanfeng Mansion," Rong Qing smiled and waved her hand, "How can we work together."
Being an undercover agent has been a high-risk profession since ancient times, and aristocratic families can only send their most loyal subordinates there.
"The alliance of aristocratic families is said to be a union, and each clan has its own agenda. Didn't you see that in the Forest of Ten Thousand Dharma Steles..."
Rong Qing roughly told the world's number one about forcing Yan Wuji to board the body of a female cultivator with the male cultivator in yellow robes that he couldn't deal with.
"Although this can be regarded as a discord between the younger generations. But from the side, it can also be seen that the battles between the aristocratic families have never stopped. In this case, it is impossible for them to act collectively. Otherwise, the loyalty that they have worked hard to cultivate My subordinates were secretly killed by undercover agents from other aristocratic families. It’s really hard to cry.”
"So, not only did each of the aristocratic families send undercover agents into Xuanfeng Mansion, but they also had no idea about the situation of other aristocratic families' undercover agents."
"...The only thing I can't figure out now is which aristocratic family is helping me?"
Do good deeds without leaving your name behind? This is really not like the aristocratic family's behavior.
"You still want to think about this?" Number One Under Heaven was puzzled, "Is it possible that you have offended all those aristocratic families in the Forest of Ten Thousand Dharma Steles?"
Not to mention, the number one in the world looked at Rong Qing thinking hard, and the more he looked at it, the more it seemed possible.
"Not that..." Rong Qing took a breath. "We can do a process of elimination, first eliminate the Yan family."
The ancestor of the Yan family was almost burned to death by Rong Qing's virtual fire. If Wangchuan hadn't arrived immediately, Rong Qing would have been reduced to dregs.
She holds a grudge very much, and when she is strong enough, she will be the first to attack the ancestor of the Yan family.
"The Shen family...can also be ruled out."
"Logically speaking, their need for you is very urgent." Rong Qing also mentioned some grudges with Shen Zhanyan in her story. Although Shen Zhanyan's soul was sealed, she completely missed the creation of the Forest of Ten Thousand Dharma Steles. But for the Shen family, the gains and losses in this small section are nothing.
Mr. Shen has been at the bottom of the family for too long. How glorious it once was, how humiliating it is now. Their determination to return to the top is unquestionable. In this case, they can completely ignore the past grudges and win over Rong Qing.
"If you dare to bet on me, you must understand me. Shen Zhanyan doesn't understand me now." Rong Qing narrowed her eyes.
If it was the original Shen Zhanyan, Rong Qing had been fighting with her for a long time, and they had a relatively deep understanding of each other before. But this time it was different. Shen Zhanyan was suppressed by Rong Qing with almost no resistance. What could she use to understand Rong Qing?
