Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 1698: Chapter 1698: Did Your Subordinate Hear Wrong?

“Does Qian Jiyun even take Qingyun Sect seriously?”

He asked.

“Jianghu forces are intricate and complex, isn’t it naive to think Qingyun Sect is merely an internal power? Even the royal family forms marital alliances with the noble families,” An Jiuyue said while eating.

“A Gu Qingyu should hardly be enough to make Qingyun Sect submit, right?” Zhan Beiye asked, somewhat hesitantly.

“There are always two sides to every story, after all, Gu Qingyu isn’t alone—she has support behind her, doesn’t she?” An Jiuyue picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth.

After nearly a month of being together, although she hadn’t listened in on Brother Zhen and the others’ conversations, she had Wei Na at her disposal.

Hearing those people’s words was actually quite simple. Within Qingyun Sect, the Great Elder held significant power, to the extent that even the Sect Leader had to give him face.

If the Great Elder were to have an accident, naturally, the Sect Leader of Qingyun Sect wouldn’t sit idly by.

“But this is just a thought I’m tossing out. It still depends on whether you can find leverage over Gu Qingyu,” she said.

“That won’t be difficult,”

Zhan Beiye gave her a gesture.

“But are you sure, that woman would really dare to act against Qian Jiyun?” he asked.

No sooner had he spoken than he felt the question was unnecessary. Gu Qingyu, that brainless one, must have been spoiled rotten since childhood, truly believing that the whole world should revolve around her.

She had already acted once; she wouldn’t mind doing it a second time.

“Whether she dares to act will depend on whether you give her the opportunity. After all, opportunities can be created, can’t they?” An Jiuyue said with an implied meaning.

“Cough.”

Zhan Beiye coughed uncomfortably.

He had no desire to deal with Gu Qingyu. Letting Su Tang take care of such delightful tasks would be best.

Of course, what he didn’t know was that An Jiuyue also wasn’t confident in having Zhan Beiye deal with Gu Qingyu. What if Gu Qingyu suddenly acted impulsively and redirected her master’s intention onto Zhan Beiye?

It was better to be safe than sorry.

…

“What? Did I hear that wrong?”

When Su Tang heard Zhan Beiye’s order, he almost thought he had misheard.

Expose a weakness to Gu Qingyu and allow her to strike at his lord Zhan Wang? Was Prince Zhan serious? Wasn’t that a bit far-fetched?

“Hmm?”

Zhan Beiye raised his eyebrows at him, seeing his dumbfounded expression.

“Uh,”

Choked up, Su Tang quickly asserted himself.

“I understand, I will give that woman the greatest scope to act, but, should I really give her a chance to strike?”

His lord Zhan Wang was still bedridden, unable to do anything. If he was plotted against, he couldn’t fight back. That didn’t seem right. Speaking it aloud, could it not bring an accusation of betrayal against him?

“I’m asking you to give her a chance, not to let her succeed. What are you so worried about?”

Zhan Beiye availed him with a glance, and then pulled out a golden spherical object from within his robe and handed it to Su Tang.

“This is something I requested from Princess Consort Qian. Place it on your lord’s body, and nothing can get close to him. With this, you can rest assured,” he said.

“That, that’s more than enough.”

Overjoyed, Su Tang took the golden sphere from Zhan Beiye’s hand and tucked it into his own embrace.

He didn’t know what exactly Prince Zhan and the others were scheming, but he knew they wouldn’t harm his lord. The priority now was to find a few trustworthy guards for Xiang Qiyan. Those who could be easily swayed were not to be relied upon.
