Unlimited Resources: Raising a Minister with a Space Supermarket-Chapter 434 - 403: Betting on Qi Yunfan

Su Jingchen saw that Yu Xiaolian finally guessed some clues, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

"It’s him, yet it’s not him!" Su Jingchen looked mysteriously unfathomable.

Yu Xiaolian simply grabbed Su Jingchen’s arm and pleaded with him, "Tell me everything you know!"

"It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but it’s really all my speculation, and I’m not sure, so I can’t tell you!"

"Then analyze it for me, even if it’s wrong, it doesn’t matter, I want to know."

Su Jingchen had no choice but to bring Yu Xiaolian into the room. They settled down by the desk, and Su Jingchen began to slowly analyze the current situation for Yu Xiaolian.

Currently, most of the military forces in Great Liang are controlled by two people. Some are in the hands of Yu Zhenwu, the Great General of the South, and some are in the hands of Li Guangpu, the Great General of the North. Although these two generals are located in the south and north, they both have deep friendships with Prince Huainan.

Although Prince Huainan has always been in poor health and has no intention of competing for the throne, if Jun Mobai has such thoughts, then as a father, he would definitely support his son.

"But... the old emperor has so many princes, how could it be the grandson’s turn to vie for the throne?" Yu Xiaolian was now convinced that Jun Mobai had ambitions to rule the world because she clearly remembered that, in the original text, Jun Mobai was also an ambitious person, but ultimately, for Yu Yanran, he gave up and chose to spend his life with Yu Yanran.

Su Jingchen thought of the words Zheng Yuanfeng told him a few days ago, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips, "Now it’s no longer about the old emperor wanting to pass the throne to someone; once the old emperor dies, the world will belong to whoever has the ability!"

That’s right, Zheng Yuanfeng had returned from the Northern Land, and upon his return, he candidly told Su Jingchen that he now stood in the camp of Huainan Prince’s heir, Jun Mobai, and under Jun Mobai’s instruction, he extended an olive branch to Su Jingchen.

"Did you agree?" Yu Xiaolian was very surprised.

Su Jingchen nodded.

He agreed, but not because of Zheng Yuanfeng, nor because he thought highly of Jun Mobai, but because he thought highly of Qi Yunfan.

"What does this... have to do with Qi Yunfan?" This is a battle within the Imperial Family; what does it have to do with the son of a Witch Clan leader?

Su Jingchen had no choice but to reveal all he knew, "Your big brother is now a staff member at the Huainan Prince Mansion and has gained Jun Mobai’s trust."

Yu Xiaolian was shocked and stumbled in asking, "What does this mean?"

Could it be that what Miao Danyi said was true, that the Witch Clan always had ambitions to conquer the world?

The Witch Clan’s martial power may not compete with the personal armies held by various princes, but if they were to hide behind one of the factions and reap the benefits, the chance of success would still be very high.

However, if the Witch Clan truly participated in this, wouldn’t it mean that the Gu Insect Technique can survive in the world openly in the future? Those half-human, half-ghoul Gu Masters would become revered Wizards? Those grey eyes would no longer be seen as a terrifying anomaly but rather a noble symbol?

"Just as you think!" Su Jingchen smiled.

"No way!"

Yu Xiaolian suddenly raised her voice, startling Su Jingchen.

Su Jingchen was puzzled, "What’s wrong?"

"The Witch Clan must not gain power!"

Yu Xiaolian recalled the day on Leishan, the overwhelming swarm of insects devoured a living person in an instant.

It was terrifying!

It’s not that all Witch Clan members are heartless killers, but since ancient times, this evil magic has been banned by successive emperors for a reason.

The Gu Technique is too sinister, and if the world were ruled by the Witch Clan, it would be equivalent to letting an insect become the master of everyone.

Yu Xiaolian analyzed her concerns for Su Jingchen, expecting him to understand but found that Su Jingchen seemed unconcerned about the situation she described.

"Witch Clan members only know how to play with insects; even if they use despicable means to seize the world, they won’t be able to maintain it!"

Conquering a kingdom is easy, but maintaining it is difficult!

"I’m here!" Su Jingchen raised an eyebrow; he was willing to help the Qi Family defend the kingdom!

"But... what if Qi Yunfan doesn’t listen to you?"

"I have a way to make him listen to me, don’t worry."

Su Jingchen saw Yu Xiaolian still worried and reassured her, "Your big brother is not someone you understand; he’s not a courageous but foolish brute. He’s a very wise person."

Yu Xiaolian frowned, "Are you very familiar with him?"

Su Jingchen had to be honest, "Ever since he told me about the green velvet wormwood, we’ve been in contact!"

"Writing letters?"

"Most of the time it’s through letters, but we did meet once!"

"When? Why have you never told me?" Yu Xiaolian was a bit upset; if she hadn’t asked today, Su Jingchen probably wouldn’t have told her.

"A while ago, there was a rumor about the Longevity Gu appearing in Miaojiang, and everyone flocked there. Actually, it was your brother’s doing. I saw him once during that period."

Qi Yunfan had long intended for those of the Witch Clan in Miaojiang, so upon learning that the Longevity Gu had completely disappeared, he devised a perfect plan: using those of the Imperial Family who coveted the Longevity Gu to make the Miaojiang lineage vanish from this world.

At the same time, it could also make those Princes and their confidants suffer a hidden loss in Miaojiang and make them experience the power of the Witch Clan.

Yu Xiaolian hadn’t expected such a deep friendship between Su Jingchen and Qi Yunfan; she felt their friendship was inexplicable.

What Yu Xiaolian didn’t know was that in Yangcheng, when Qi Yunfan followed them and was discovered by Su Jingchen, he immediately counter-followed back and even fought with Qi Yunfan. Later, when Yu Xiaolian and her family left Yangcheng without saying goodbye, Qi Yunfan couldn’t find her anymore, so he sought out Su Jingchen, and that’s how the interaction began.

"So, from that time on, you had an idea?" Yu Xiaolian couldn’t use surprise to describe her feelings at this moment.

Su Jingchen nodded, "At that time, we had no choice; it was all to better protect you."

Su Jingchen never believed that you can safely hide; since he knew Yu Xiaolian had the Longevity Gu, this idea became even more certain.

The method to protect oneself and one’s family is always to strengthen oneself, there is no other way!

Even though Yu Xiaolian no longer has the Longevity Gu now, the plan has already begun, so they have no choice but to continue. They couldn’t stand the old emperor’s tyranny long ago.

Even if they couldn’t succeed in the end, borrowing Jun Mobai’s hand to stir up the world of the Jun Family was still good.

When Yu Xiaolian left the Su Family, she was in a daze; she had never imagined her life could be so stimulating and that she would have a role in ancient rebellion.
