Chapter 1310: Chapter 304: Yuan Sanjia: Chen Jie, I’ve Brought You a Grand Gift

Yuan Sanjia immediately waved his hand and said: "Ah, I didn’t block this disaster for you; I only made it come a little later."

"Hmm? What do you mean by this, Senior Yuan?"

Chen Jie looked at Yuan Sanjia with bewilderment. Yuan Sanjia chuckled and said: "It’s very simple. I’ve only helped you gain a month’s time. Within this month, she won’t make a move against you, but if it’s beyond a month, I won’t be able to help."

Chen Jie frowned slightly upon hearing this and said: "Senior Yuan, why not help to the end?"

Yuan Sanjia laughed and said: "Good people? Where are there any good people in this world? I, Yuan, am merely a person who stirs up troubles; I don’t count as a good person. As for why I didn’t block this disaster for you, it’s because pampered surroundings are the hero’s grave!"

"Your family has a Phoenix and a Peacock. If you stay in this pampered environment too long, even the Nine Heavenly Dragons will inevitably lose their heroic spirit."

"So, as someone who has placed a heavy bet on you, I need to be responsible for you and make you more likely to contend for the world in the future."

Jiedao: "Master of manipulating tides of events, a master of cunning arguments, may I ask what sect Mr. belongs to?"

Yuan Sanjia said indifferently: "The Yuan family has always been disciples of the Ghost Valley."

With these words, Chen Jie understood.

The Ghost Valley Lineage has historically been known for strategizing and maneuvering, having ambitions to dominate the world since the time of the former Qin. Simply put, the Ghost Valley Lineage loves instigating wars.

Moreover, it is said that the Ghost Valley Lineage has always produced two candidates who then engage in academic dueling.

As for how they duel, it involves finding two countries or powers and displaying their academic prowess.

For instance, during the former Qin period, Pang Juan and Sun Bin each displayed their talents, engaged in mutual attacks, and finally decided the victor.

Then there were Su Qin and Zhang Yi from the former Qin, also inheritors of Ghost Valley, possessing the Ghost Valley Technique, connecting heaven and earth.

Their alliances and rivalries directly laid the foundation for great unification—Qin’s conquest of six nations had Ghost Valley’s footprints everywhere.

After them, the descendants of Ghost Valley frequently appeared in the world, always harboring a penchant for instigating wars to showcase their ambitions.

Now that Yuan Sanjia is from the Ghost Valley Lineage, everything makes sense. No wonder someone who practises divination doesn’t focus on earning money but thinks every day about how to unsettle the world and seeks out individuals with imperial destiny.

If he is of the Ghost Valley Lineage, everything is explained.

Because their sect’s tenet is to stir chaos in the world to showcase their skills.

Understanding all this, Chen Jie sat down and said: "Mr. Yuan, I heard that your Ghost Valley Lineage cultivates two disciples each generation, taking the world as a chessboard for a showdown, and the winner receives the title of the contemporary Ghost Valley. Is this true?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Sanjia said: "It’s naturally true."

"This isn’t a secret; quite a few people know about it. Why do you ask?"

Chen Jie said: "Oh, nothing, just curious. Mr. Yuan, are you already the contemporary Ghost Valley?"

Yuan Sanjia said: "I was, but now I’m not."

Chen Jie frowned and asked: "Why?"

Yuan Sanjia replied: "Originally, my elder brother and I were supposed to compete in a best of three; I won the first round. But just as we were about to start the second round, my elder brother was struck by a severe illness and unfortunately passed away."

"Under such circumstances, I could directly declare myself the contemporary Ghost Valley, but there’s another possibility—to let my elder brother’s successor replace him to complete the last two scheduled competitions with me."

"Before his death, my elder brother imparted everything he learned to his son, letting him fulfill this bet with me. So, I am not the contemporary Ghost Valley."

Chen Jie asked upon hearing this: "Then who is the one competing against Senior Yuan?"

"Qingtian, Liu Ji!"

Yuan Sanjia directly said a name, and Chen Jie was stunned upon hearing it, opening his eyes wide to look at Yuan Sanjia: "Who?"

"Qingtian, Liu Ji!"

Chen Jie couldn’t help but gasp, others may not know, but how could Chen Jie not know Liu Ji of Qingtian—one regarded as almost divine in later generations.

Oh, the name Liu Ji may be unfamiliar to everyone, but he has another name, Liu Bowen!

Three parts of the world, Zhuge Liang; unification of the world, Liu Bowen.

This Liu Bowen’s fame in later generations matches that of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Unexpectedly, this Liu Bowen is Yuan Sanjia’s mortal enemy. Chen Jie, upon realizing this, looked at Yuan Sanjia and asked: "Senior Yuan, since Liu Ji is your opponent, why are there no tales of him known in the world?"

Yuan Sanjia replied: "Because he and I have a pact. If he emerges in the world, it signifies the beginning of our wager. Once he chooses a side, I will choose the opposite."

"Then our contest begins. Moreover, as a senior, I have given him a chance—a chance to choose first. He can choose the ruler he deems the wise one, and I will choose his opposing side, akin to two chess players engaging in a game with the world as the stake."

Chen Jie fell into silence upon hearing these words; is it truly so ruthless?

Originally, Chen Jie wondered if he could leverage Yuan Sanjia’s connections to bring Liu Bowen under his command to serve him.

But now, this Yuan Sanjia is playing a life-and-death game of a world-as-chessboard with Liu Bowen, meaning if Chen Jie indeed manages to recruit Liu Bowen to his side, it’s highly likely Yuan Sanjia would become his mortal enemy.

This, this is too merciless. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Considering this, Chen Jie looked at Yuan Sanjia and asked: "Senior Yuan, is there no possibility for cooperation between you two?"

Yuan Sanjia replied: "Absolutely not, the unyielding tradition of Ghost Valley for a thousand years cannot be broken."

Chen Jie, hearing these words, looked at Yuan Sanjia; Yuan Sanjia said: "Enough said, don’t bear too much psychological burden. Before my junior successor is chosen, I will fondly protect anyone with imperial destiny in this world, at least to give them a chance to sit at the table."
