Yang Chen thought for a moment and asked,””So Master wants Ying Zhao to compete for the Human King position because of Master’s wife?”
“That’s right.” The Deshun Commandery Prince nodded.” Yang ‘er, do you know what grade your master’s aptitude is?”
“I don’t know.” Yang Chen shook his head.
Upon hearing this, the Duke of Deshun took out a aptitude testing stone from his storage bag and injected spiritual energy into it.
Immediately, the green light of the aptitude test shone brightly.
Yang Chen saw this and blurted out,” Fifth Grade aptitude. The green glow is gradually turning blue. Master, your aptitude is probably at the top among the Fifth Grade.””
“You’re right.”
Deshun Commandery Prince put away the aptitude testing stone and continued,””With my talent, even if the royal family groomed me a little, I could become a mighty figure.”
“I’ve also paid my respects to the members of the royal family. Including the ancestor, 80% of the clansmen hope that I can break through and ascend the stage.”
“But because of the lack of resources, my cultivation level has stagnated at the peak Zifu level. Do you know why?”
“Could it be because of the Li family?”Yang Chen guessed.
“Come in with me first.” The Deshun Commandery Prince did not rush to reply. Instead, he brought Chen Yang back to the meeting hall.
After the two of them sat down, the Deshun Commandery Prince continued,””The person in charge of the Li family’s marriage alliance with Dynasty back then had quite a bit of influence in the Li family.”
“Because of the failure of the marriage alliance, this branch was severely punished by the Li family and suffered heavy losses. Naturally, it accumulated a lot of resentment.”
“Since you can’t target your master’s mother, you can only target me. Because of this, the royal family provides me with very little resources every year, and my cultivation has stagnated because of this.”
“If it wasn’t for your master’s wife, I’m afraid my life would have been taken away by them.”
Yang Chen finally understood why his master’s cultivation had stagnated.
After all, the other party had suffered a great loss and had to find someone to vent his anger on. As for the Deshun Commandery Prince, he had become the person to bear the anger.
“Master, if the young prince ascends to the throne, will your current situation change?”Yang Chen asked again.
When Deshun Commandery Prince heard this, he smiled and explained,””Of course there is. No matter what, my grandson Ying Zhao is a descendant of the Li family’s bloodline, and a direct descendant.”
“If he ascends to the throne, Da Qian can be seen as a branch of the Li family.
At the very least, during the three hundred years that my grandson is the Human King, Da Qian will be a branch of the Li Family.”
“At that time, my wife can use this as an excuse to get the bloodline in charge of the marriage alliance to stop targeting me.”
“If my cultivation base breaks through, I can reunite with my wife.”
Seeing the confident look on Deshun Commandery Prince’s face, Chen Yang said worriedly,””Master, you want to reunite with Master’s wife. Unless Master’s wife breaks through and enters the stage, otherwise, you will have to marry into the Li family.”
“Knowing that you’re going to marry into the Li family, would the royal family still be willing to provide you with cultivation resources?”
To be fair, no family would be willing to let their own geniuses go to other families after they were nurtured.
At that time, even if Zhou Yingzhao became the Human Ruler, the rest of the royal family would not be willing to provide resources to Deshun Commandery Prince.
“Your worries are not without reason. It’s just that you’ve forgotten what I said just now. Ying Zhao is the queen, and Da Qian is a branch of the Li family.”
“By then, staying in Da Qian would be no different from marrying into the Li Family.”
“After 300 years, with my wife’s talent, there will definitely be no problem for her to break through and ascend the stage. At that time, I won’t have to marry into the Li family. “The Deshun Commandery Prince laughed.
Hearing this, Yang Chen was silent for a moment before saying,””Master, have you been planning this for a long time?”
“That’s right.”
The Deshun Commandery Prince admitted openly,”I’ve indeed been planning this for a long time, and I’m not doing this just for myself.”
“In the 300 years that my grandson is the Human King, if we use Spiritual Crystals, we don’t have to pay Spiritual Stones to the Li Family anymore.”
“I wonder how many powerful cultivators our Zhou clan will be able to nurture with the Spiritual Stones we save.”
“When Great Gan recovers and has the same strength as Great Kun, we can annex Great Kun.”
“After annexing Great Kun, Great Qian’s strength will definitely increase. With my wife and I, Great Qian might become the strongest empire.”
“At that time, Da Qian’s status will be different.”
Chen Yang understood that once the Great Qian Dynasty grew to what the Deshun Commandery Prince had said, the Li Family would definitely value the Great Qian Dynasty.
Although the Li family was indeed restricting the Rank-6 forces in the Endless Mountains, the Li family mostly roped in such forces that had already become influential and made them a true vassal force.
As long as the Li family didn’t give birth to any powerful cultivators, the Li family would give them preferential treatment and help them nurture powerful cultivators.
Of course, the Li family was not nurtured for nothing. As a true vassal family, the Li family had an edict, so they naturally had to cooperate fully.
The gains and losses could only be decided by himself.
From Yang Chen’s point of view, his master and the royal family’s ancestor wanted to make the Zhou family stronger.
However, the two of them walked different paths. The royal family’s ancestor wanted to fight the Li family as equals, while the Deshun Prince wanted to become the Li family’s confidant.
On the surface, the old ancestor of the Royal Family had a better idea than the Duke of Deshun, and he had more dignity.
But in reality, the royal family’s plan was like walking on a tightrope. If they were not careful, they would be destroyed..
