The battle between the Tiangang Sword Sect and Chu Qing at the foot of Ziqing Mountain has basically confirmed that the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect have parted ways with Chu Qing, but the two sects don’t seem to want other sects and forces to find out about this.
And Gu Sheng seemed to be doing the same.
This result seemed strange, but after careful consideration, Feng Shao understood the hidden story behind it.
The reason why the Ziqing Sacred Land fell, apart from being stabbed in the back by Chu Qing, the most important reason was the combination of the Chongyang Sword Sect, Xuanlei Sect, and many sects and forces.
With so many forces suddenly attacking, even the Tiangang Sword Sect will have a headache, let alone the Ziqing Sacred Land whose strength has weakened from Chu Qing’s rebellion.
These forces can be united mainly because Chu Qing, a son of fortune, has served as the core of this alliance. It can be said that he is the link of cooperation between these sects and forces.
Although Chu Qing lost a lot and lost all his family fortune, his connections are still there. These contacts are the greatest wealth that Chu Qing can control now. If Chu Qing wants to make a comeback, he must rely on these connections of his.
But it was not only Chu Qing who was reaching out to these contacts, the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect were also doing the same thing. This is also the reason why the two major sects are trying to win over these forces under the banner of Chu Qing.
As for Chu Qing’s side not clarifying the matter, the reason is very simple. Here is a well-known fictional example:In this world, there is a father who wants to find a wife for his own son. So he ran to the richest man in the world and said, “I have a son and I want to marry your daughter.”
The world’s richest man naturally disagrees.
But he immediately said, “If my son is the president of the World Bank, can I marry your daughter?”
The world’s richest man thought about it and replied, “Oh, that’s fine.”
Then he went to the chairman of the World Bank and said, “I have a son who wants to be the president of the World Bank.”
The chairman immediately refused.
But he said, “What if my son is the son-in-law of the richest man in the world? Can he be the president of the World Bank?”
The chairman also thought about it and replied, “Oh, that’s fine.”
Therefore, his son became the president of the World Bank and married the daughter of the richest man in the world.
Of course, this is just a joke, and such a thing would never happen in reality. But from this story, people can get a glimpse of an important reality.
Networking is mutual. Many times when others are friendly to someone, it is not based on how valuable that person is, but on how valuable that person’s contacts are. They don’t care who the person who binds them together is, it’s all the same for them.
Chu Qing’s side clearly understood this truth. Many of Chu Qing’s contacts actually came to be due to him being related to the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect. Once the news of the breakup between the two major sects and Chu Qing spread, many of Chu Qing’s connections would have to reconsider the value of Chu Qing.
So clarifying this matter is definitely not a good choice for his side.
Of course, there is another problem here, that is, with the fame and appeal of the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect, it is obvious that there is no need to rely on Chu Qing’s name to attract contacts.
But they still did it.
Why?
Feng Shao couldn’t figure it out at first. But after thinking about it in another way, and after connecting the dots with the current situation in Beizhou, Feng Shao felt that he seemed to have seen the truth behind it. ℝåℕÓ𝐛Ё𝓢
It seems that Chongyang Sword Sect and Xuanlei Sect not only want Chu Qing’s connections, but they also want Chu Qing to be their scapegoat.
As the leading power in the entire Upper Domain, the Tiangang Sword Sect is firmly on the side of the Ziqing Sacred Land. The two sects’ act of jointly attacking the Ziqing Sacred Land will be listed by the Tiangang Sword Sect as a grievance, and they will be liquidated by the Tiangang Sword Sect sooner or later.
The Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect are now holding onto each other to resist as a whole, but this is not a long-term solution.
In the end, they would still want to reconcile with the Tiangang Sword Sect, the undisputed number one force and the leader of the righteous sects in Beizhou.
At that time, someone must come out to bear all the responsibilities.
Obviously, there is no more suitable candidate than Chu Qing as a peace offering.
In other words, the current position of being the leader of the multi-force alliance is not a good one, but a hot potato.
Then here comes the question. The Chongyang Sword Sect and Xuanlei Sect are doing such things, but it is understandable. But how could Gu Sheng, as one of Chu Qing’s harem members, also do this?
According to the previously collected information, Feng Shao has determined that this woman named Gu Sheng is the major housekeeper for Chu Qing and also Chu Qing’s think tank.
Chu Qing was able to rise to where he is now, thanks to Gu Sheng’s contribution of dealing with all his affairs.
Since this is the case, it is impossible for Gu Sheng not to see the consequences of using Chu Qing as a banner to win over those sects, clans, and other forces.
Unless…
When his thoughts reached this point, a smile appeared on the corner of Feng Shao’s mouth.
Sure enough, the strongest fortress that most would deem unconquerable is often breached from the inside…
