"Young master, Dao Master Wuji's origins are extremely mysterious. It is said that he grew up in the Shanhe Platform since childhood, and his cultivation is unfathomable."
"Back then, he took Changsun Qingwan from the Changsun family, shocking the entire capital. There were even rumors that she would marry the Heavenly Son!"
"In short, any move by Dao Master Wuji will cause a major earthquake in the capital!"
"This time, Dao Master Wuji brought Changsun Qingwan back to the Changsun family, and something big is likely to happen again. The Changsun family might become the head of the seven families."
Wudao looked serious and poured out all his thoughts.
"That's why I said it's a big deal."
Zhuge Chu finally chimed in, "The rumors seven years ago said Changsun Qingwan would marry the Heavenly Son, and at that time, the Changsun family would undoubtedly become the head of the seven families."
"However, if that happens, the other six families will absolutely not stand idly by, as they do not wish to see the Changsun family surpass them!"
"I am really looking forward to the other six families clashing with the Changsun family. That would be a real show."
Zhuge Chu looked expectant.
After all, if it doesn't concern him, he can stand aside and watch the fun.
Seeing Zhuge Chu's smug look, Feng Tutu scolded, "Do you think your Zhuge family can escape if the seven families of the capital really cause trouble?"
"Once the seven families start a commotion, no family in the entire capital can stay out of it."
Feng Tutu said coldly.
"Changsun Qingwan cannot marry into the Shanhe Platform."
Ye Kunlun suddenly laughed, finding the situation increasingly interesting.
The others looked at him, not quite understanding what he meant.
"Because Changsun Qingwan is already betrothed. Before the engagement is broken, she cannot marry into the Shanhe Platform. Otherwise, how could the Heavenly Son lose face?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Chu's eyes almost popped out.
Not only Zhuge Chu, but Wudao and Feng Tutu also looked shocked.
"Boss, no way? We've never heard that Changsun Qingwan has an engagement! This joke isn't funny at all!"
Zhuge Chu recovered himself.
"Young master, could the person Changsun Qingwan is engaged to be you?"
Wudao, having followed Ye Kunlun for so long, had a flash of insight and thought of something.
"Indeed."
Ye Kunlun curled his lips into a cold smile, "If Changsun Qingwan truly wants to marry into the Shanhe Platform, she will have to come and break off the engagement with me."
Zhuge Chu was so stunned by Ye Kunlun's words that he just stood there, his mind not quite working.
"However, if I were to unilaterally announce the annulment of Changsun Qingwan's engagement, would she still have a chance to marry into the Shanhe Platform?"
Zhuge Chu thought Ye Kunlun was crazy.
"Boss, this..." Zhuge Chu swallowed with difficulty and said, "If the person from the Shanhe Platform fancies Changsun Qingwan, your actions would not only offend the Changsun family but also that person from the Shanhe Platform."
Wudao and Feng Tutu also wore solemn expressions, for they knew Zhuge Chu was right.
If the Heavenly Son fancied Changsun Qingwan, Ye Kunlun's actions would thoroughly offend him.
Offending the Heavenly Son of the Shanhe Platform was something Wudao and Feng Tutu dared not imagine!
No matter how strong Ye Kunlun was, he couldn't possibly contend with that person from the Shanhe Platform alone.
"Young master, this matter needs to be carefully considered."
Wudao quickly spoke up. Given Ye Kunlun's usual style of action, he truly feared that Ye Kunlun would impulsively announce the annulment of Changsun Qingwan's engagement.
While Ye Kunlun might feel satisfied then, it would bring immense trouble.
"Afraid?"
Ye Kunlun looked at the three in front of him, his expression unchanged.
"Of course, we're afraid!" Wudao replied earnestly, "But if the young master truly makes a decision, I, Wudao, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"So will I, Feng Tutu!"
Zhuge Chu shivered and quickly said, "Ahem, Boss, look at my shallow knowledge and half-baked skills, can I also go through fire and water for you?"
Ye Kunlun looked at Zhuge Chu with surprise and asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of incurring mortal danger and causing your Zhuge family to have no successors?"
Zhuge Chu thrust his neck forward and patted his chest, "Our Zhuge family has never had anyone afraid of death. If heaven truly cuts off our lineage, then it's fate. I, Zhuge Chu, never regret my choices."
"Alright."
Ye Kunlun smiled, "Your lineage will not be cut off."
"I believe the boss!" Zhuge Chu also smiled.
Ye Kunlun was not foolish enough to antagonize the Heavenly Son of the Shanhe Platform, especially without fully understanding him.
He was not afraid of the Shanhe Platform itself, but rather that the Shanhe Platform represented the entirety of China, serving as the central hub for maintaining stability and operation.
Once something happened to the Shanhe Platform, China would be thrown into turmoil, leading to widespread chaos and suffering for the people, which was what he worried about.
Ye Kunlun would never allow such a thing to happen.
He had other plans in mind; the engagement with Changsun Qingwan in his hand was his bargaining chip with the Changsun family.
Moreover, once the Changsun family's collusion with the Wu clan and the Three Gods Society was confirmed, the person from the Shanhe Platform would undoubtedly abandon the Changsun family.
After all, the Three Gods Society had the influence of the Dongyi people behind them.
Since ancient times, the Dongyi people had committed many heinous acts against humanity in China, and China and the Dongyi were already irreconcilable enemies!
What Ye Kunlun intended to do was find evidence of the connection between the Changsun family and the Three Gods Society.
At that time, as long as the Shanhe Platform was out of the picture, he could break off the engagement with Changsun Qingwan however he pleased, and the Shanhe Platform would not say a word.
"Don't worry, I won't oppose the Shanhe Platform for now."
Ye Kunlun withdrew his thoughts and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Wudao, Feng Tutu, and Zhuge Chu all breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Kunlun added, "But we need to quickly find the connection between the Changsun family and the Three Gods Society."
"As long as the Changsun family's connection with the Three Gods Society is confirmed, it will completely sever the link between the person from the Shanhe Platform and Changsun Qingwan."
"Besides, didn't you say it was just a rumor? Unless this rumor originated from the Shanhe Platform!"
Zhuge Chu quickly shook his head, "Not at all. If the Shanhe Platform dared to spread such words, it would mean the Heavenly Son had spoken."
"The Heavenly Son values the principle of balance. How could he watch the Changsun family become dominant alone?"
Ye Kunlun nodded, "You're not stupid. Even if that person wouldn't let the Changsun family dominate, he would use Changsun Qingwan to stir up trouble between them, which is the art of kingship."
"So, all of this is our speculation. What we can do is find the evidence of the Changsun family's connection with the Three Gods Society."
"At that time, all rumors will be self-defeating."
Wudao still expressed some concern, "Boss, Dao Master Wuji is Changsun Qingwan's master. Will he secretly obstruct what we are doing?"
Ye Kunlun's lips curved slightly, and his voice held a hint of coldness, "Unless he thinks his life is too long!"
