Chapter 231: The Thoughts of the Royal Family’s Ancestor
Translator: 549690339
“Something is wrong…”
After leaving the old ancestor, the Deshun Commandery Prince returned to Yi City. On the way, the more he pondered, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Regardless of whether the ancestor agreed or disagreed, or whether he needed to consider it, he should not have such an attitude.
According to the impression of the Deshun Commandery Prince, the old ancestor did not seem to care much about how the Zhou Consortium became powerful. He did not even care if the Zhou Consortium was strong or not.
All of a sudden, De Shun felt that this trip was a bit hasty.
“It seems that I need to hibernate first and figure out what the ancestor is thinking.”The Deshun Commandery Prince immediately made his decision. Jiang Prefecture, Chen City, Chen Family.
Zhou Ying Lan looked at Chen Yang, who was seated on the main seat, and said with a smile,”Brother Chen, how’s your thinking going?”
Hearing this, Yang Chen smiled and said,” I can introduce my master to you, but whether you can win my master over will depend on your own abilities, Brother Ying Lan.””
Hearing Chen Yang’s words, Zhou Ying Lan’s eyes revealed joy as she immediately said: “That’s good. Brother Chen, don’t worry. 1 won’t forget your contribution.”
“After 1 become the Human King, 1 will begin to fulfill my promise.”
“Thank you, Brother Ying Lan.” Yang Chen smiled.
Immediately, Yang Chen brought Zhou Ying Lan and headed straight for Yi City.
Yi City, Deshun Palace, reception hall.
The Deshun Commandery Prince glanced at Zhou Yinglan, then said to Chen Yang,””Disciple, go out first and take a look around my Imperial Residence.” “Understood.” Yang Chen stood up and left. At the same time, he closed the door of the reception hall.
After Chen Yang left, Deshun Commandery Prince took the lead and said,””Ying Lan, I know why you’re here. Let’s not beat around the bush. What benefits do 1 get from helping you compete for the Human King?”
When Zhou Yinglan heard this, she took a deep breath and said,”Grandpa Li, don’t worry. If I can become the Human King, I will never forget your kindness.”
“I can promise that when I become a Human Empress, I’ll let Ying Zhao hold an important position, and at the same time, I’ll pour resources into Ying Zhao and help him become a Zifu Disciple.”
“Is that all?” The Deshun Commandery Prince said indifferently,
When Zhou Yinglan heard this, she paused for a moment before gritting her teeth and saying,””Two Supremacies. I can swear that when I become a Human King, 1 will help the Deshun King Manor produce two Zifu Disciples.”
The Deshun Commandery Prince knew that this was the limit of what Zhou Yinglan could promise. He immediately said,”In this way, I can help you.” “Don’t be so happy yet. I’m only supporting you verbally. If you want me to help you, you have to give me Spiritual Crystals.”
“This…” Zhou Yinglan hesitated for a moment before she gritted her teeth and said,”Alright, I agree to Grandpa Li’s conditions!”
According to Zhou Ying Lan’s thoughts, it was enough to have the verbal support of the De Shun Commandery Prince. If they really needed to use the De Shun Commandery Prince, it meant that they had reached a critical juncture. At the critical moment, it was worth it for Zhou Yinglan to use a few Spiritual Crystals to solve the danger.
“Then 1 wish us a happy cooperation?”
“Happy cooperation.”
After receiving the promise of the De Shun Commandery Prince, Zhou Yinglan left the De Shun Prince Residence with satisfaction. As for Chen Yang, he was called to the meeting hall by the Deshun Commandery Prince.
“Master, did you promise Zhou Yinglan?”Yang Chen asked.
“1 agree.” Deshun Commandery Prince seemed to be absent-minded. When he answered Chen Yang’s question, he was a little dazed.
Yang Chen stood up and closed the main door of the meeting hall. He then asked,””Master, is there something bothering you?”
“Indeed.” The Deshun Commandery Prince nodded.” There’s something that has been bothering me. It just so happens that you’re here to help me judge.” “Please speak, Master.” Yang Chen said.
Immediately, Deshun Commandery Prince told Chen Yang about his trip to the capital, his conversation with the Patriarch, and his doubts.
After hearing Deshun Commandery Prince’s words, Chen Yang slowly said,””So Master is confused about the attitude of the royal family’s ancestor?”
“That’s right.” The king of De Shun nodded. Based on my understanding of the old ancestor, whether he supported me or not, or whether he was unable to make a decision, he would not be indifferent.”
“At the very least, you should debate with me on the spot to see whose plan is more likely to succeed.”
“As far as I can see, the Patriarch doesn’t seem to care which of the two plans has the highest success rate. You have to know that this concerns the rise and fall of the Zhou clan. 1 really don’t understand why the ancestor has such an attitude.”
After hearing Deshun Commandery Prince’s words, Chen Yang thought for a moment and then said,””I can only think of two possibilities.”
“Firstly, the ancestor has already decided on his plan and doesn’t want to reject you in person, so he asked master to come back first. The ancestor needs to consider it.”
“I’m only guessing about the second possibility. The royal family’s ancestor has a better method, and this method can be carried out together with the two plans.
Moreover, no matter which plan he carried out, it would not affect the ancestor’s method, so he did not care.”
After hearing Chen Yang’s words, the Deshun Commandery Prince fell into deep thought.
Just as Yang Chen said, both of these guesses were possible.
Moreover, compared to the first guess, the Duke of Deshun felt that the second guess was very likely.
It was because he had already said that regardless of whether the Old Ancestor agreed with Deshun Commandery Prince’s idea or not, with Deshun Commandery Prince’s status in the Zhou clan, the Old Ancestor would have to debate with him no matter what.
But now, without even a debate, he directly asked the Deshun Commandery Prince to leave. There was a high possibility that he was carrying out one of the old ancestor’s ideas.
“What exactly are you thinking…”
Suddenly, the Deshun Commandery Prince felt a chill run down his spine because he thought of a possibility.
“What if this idea is not to make the Zhou clan stronger, but to make the ancestor himself stronger?”
“No, that’s impossible. How could the ancestor be the kind of person who would be willing to abandon his family for himself?”
The Deshun Commandery Prince shook his head violently, trying to get rid of this thought.
However, the more he wanted to forget, the stronger this thought became.
After all, if that plan was also to make the Zhou clan stronger, then the ancestor would naturally have to calculate which of the three plans was suitable.
Similarly, he would not inform the Deshun Commandery Prince of this plan and discuss with him which method was more suitable.
However, if this method was only beneficial to the ancestor himself, then there was no need to discuss it.
Thinking of this, the Deshun Commandery Prince took a deep breath and told Chen Yang his thoughts.
After hearing Deshun Commandery Prince’s words, Chen Yang was also shocked. If that was really the case, then the Zhou Consortium would be in danger.
“Master, for now, we still have to find out what the royal family’s ancestor is thinking.”
“As for the fight for the position of the Human King, let’s put it aside for now. After all, there is still some time before the King steps down.”Yang Chen said.
“I think so too.” Deshun Commandery Prince nodded, agreeing with Yang Chen.
So the question was, what exactly was the plan?
