Chapter 1902 - 1466-1467: Rumors Abound! The Regent King’s Game!

He Jin waved his hand, dismissing the three, and looked at Jiang Dali with a face that suggested he had something to discuss.

The two men and one woman all left with pained expressions.

They were under soft confinement at the Dragon Cloud Mansion; although they had money to spend, does having money make one great?

They, as dignified Heavenly Persons, are they people who lack money?

But sorry! Reality is such that having money to the extent of the He Family truly makes one remarkable; an ordinary Returning to Truth Realm cultivator can only become a Guest Elder in the He Family, and a Heavenly Person is truly not worth much.

After the three left, He Jin immediately informed Jiang Dali about the specific situation of the Lu Family and Master Lu, and then said solemnly.

"Lu Ping is the twelfth generation descendant of the Lu Family, currently serving as the Vice Pavilion Master of Lingyun Pavilion, holding a second-rank official position. He is arrogant and reckless, eager for quick success, yet has the Lu Family’s traditional problem of pretending to worry before the country does, and thus hates evil. He indeed wants to do good deeds for the people, just to carry forward the spirit of the Lu Family’s former Master Lu."

Beside him, the Lord of Dragon Cloud Mansion frowned and said, "This person is not bad, but his personality is flawed; he likes to act cleverly and is easily used by others. In the court, he has offended many people, but due to the Lu Family’s background, no one dares to do anything to him, mostly just verbal exclusion. But this time, he is actually targeting you, Marquis!"

He Jin chuckled lightly, "Lu Ping is clearly being used again this time. Otherwise, with his ability, without someone telling him, how would he know that you, Marquis, emerged from the Sky? Unfortunately, this time his cleverness was used in the wrong place."

Jiang Dali, arms crossed and a smile on his lips, said, "Since coming out of the Sky makes me a target, why is Mr. He willing to make a big deal of associating with me, knowing my current situation, isn’t he afraid of getting into trouble?"

He Jin was surprised, then laughed heartily, got up and paced, saying, "Oh, Marquis, oh Marquis. You tell me, what kind of fire can burn onto us? Just Lu Ping, or the person advising him?"

He Jin sneered, "That advisor of Lu Ping put a fool in front as a scapegoat, not daring to confront you directly, clearly very apprehensive of you, Marquis."

Jiang Dali said calmly, "Since the fire can’t burn me, do you think they are doing useless work?"

He Jin laughed, looking at Jiang Dali, and the answer appeared in both of their eyes.

Regent King!

Everything!

Everything Lu Ping is striving for now is nothing more than putting pressure on the Regent King.

This is something He Jin knows.

Jiang Dali also knows.

Before the Regent King makes his stance clear, anyone who dares to provoke Jiang Dali will face terrible risks and huge costs.

Even before the Regent King states his position, no one knows what his attitude is, no one dares to mention it, and perhaps only a guy like Lu Ping, who is confident in his background yet impulsive and aggressive, dares to bring it up.

Since that’s the case, then force the Regent King to take a stance, force him with public will to give an explanation, and then naturally there’s a reason to challenge Jiang Dali.

Jiang Dali pondered, "So, the person advising Lu Ping is an enemy of mine? Although Lu Ping is a fool, he is not the kind of fool any random nobody can command.

In the entire Holy Dynasty, those with the energy and power to instruct Lu Ping are probably just your Six Great Families and Four Great Sects, right? Among these ten families, the only one with a grudge against me is the Wan Family."

He Jin smiled and shook his head, "No! It might not just be the Wan Family!"

"Oh?"

Jiang Dali was surprised.

He Jin smiled meaningfully, "Master Jiang, I’m calling you Master Jiang now, not Marquis, because your identity as Marquis Wei Wu is very special."

Jiang Dali showed no expression, "I’m all ears!"

He Jin paced with his hands behind his back, continued talking eloquently, "In all these years of the Holy Dynasty, no one was enfeoffed as a Marquis except you. You are the first! The first in history! This means that the Regent King holds you in high regard and maybe even sees you as the next in line to succeed him."

Jiang Dali’s expression changed.

’Successor,’ this weighty identity spoken from He Jin’s mouth was indeed intimidating.

"But this identity is not easy to bear, regardless of whether you desire it. Our Six Great Families’ ancestors once followed the Holy Emperor on campaigns, accumulating deep heritage; therefore, we have been deeply entrenched in the Holy Dynasty for thousands of years... But any power, once it exists for a long time, will undergo some changes..."

He Jin said deeply, "Just like a person who has been doing something for a long time; after ten years, he can endure, after fifty years, he becomes numb, and after a hundred years, he goes mad.

Our Six Great Families have essentially gone mad. Our He Family is better, ultimately seeking wealth, and since we can’t pursue absolute power, we pursue extreme wealth, so even if crazy, it’s just crazily accumulating wealth.

The other five families, neither able to pursue absolute power nor absolute wealth—do you think they will settle for this?

But their restlessness remains while the Emperor is still present, they have to endure, but the Emperor has been in seclusion for over four hundred years.

In these more than four hundred years, the other five families are no longer just restless but are constantly taking action, doing too many things prohibited by the Holy Dynasty."

At this point, He Jin’s eyes sparkled, looking at Jiang Dali meaningfully, "The deep entrenchment of the Six Great Families has almost permeated into every industry and aspect of life in the Holy Dynasty. The so-called falling tree collapses the house, and even the Regent King finds it hard to chop down trees, only wanting to balance until the Emperor exits seclusion, then all problems will not be problems."

"Balance! So, I became the key to balance! This is a game set by the Regent King, and I have become his commander? The one who challenges the opponents’ army?

So... my arrival is not only a threat to the Wan Family but also to the other Four Great Families; they all see me as the enemy."

Jiang Dali fully understood, yet found it laughable.

These issues are genuinely a case where those involved can be confused, while bystanders can see clearly.

Until today, he had not seen through this and thought that within the Holy Dynasty, apart from the Wan Family, he had no enemy, who would have thought he was already surrounded.

So this time, Lu Ping is a knife extended by others, marking the first confrontation and trial.

Now that everything is clear, why hesitate?

What Jiang Dali dislikes the most is playing chess, but what he is best at is breaking chess.

Since the enemy has already made a move on the board, and even sent their pawn across the river.

He naturally needs to retaliate, and it’s not about using a cannon on a pawn, but going straight for the general...
