"If that's truly the case, then I hope you can think things through,"
"Because once you possess these resources, you will inevitably be drawn into the grand spectacle of power division within the Sun Base. Therefore, I hope you will choose your allies wisely."
After Su Xue said this, Ye Ningze had already completely understood her intentions.
She wanted him to join the Su family's faction. He could understand that, but there was no need to make such a hasty decision, was there?
Unless there was something he didn't know, he would never have said such a thing.
As expected, Su Xue immediately revealed everything she was facing to Ye Ningze:
"Who do you think is the Su family's greatest enemy? Or rather, in your opinion, what is the Su family's biggest difficulty right now?"
Ye Ningze pondered for a moment. Regarding the Su family's issues, the biggest problem should be the Su family itself.
Firstly, the Su family had two factions. The first faction was led by the Grand Elder.
The second faction was composed of Su Xue's father, who was the patriarch of the Su family.
On one side was the most powerful person in the family, and on the other was the strongest person in the family.
The discord between these two individuals created the Su family's greatest problem. Therefore, her intention was for him to choose between the Grand Elder and her father.
Ye Ningze smiled and shook his head, saying to Su Xue before him,
"Don't worry, there's no suspense between you and the Grand Elder."
To his surprise, Su Xue responded with a cold smile,
"It's not just between my father and the Grand Elder; you might have to choose among me, my father, and the Grand Elder."
Ye Ningze was completely stunned upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Su Xue and her father to not be on the same side.
If Su Xue wanted to seize power from the Grand Elder, Ye Ningze could understand that. But if Su Xue and her father were in conflict over interests, that was something Ye Ningze couldn't comprehend.
"Can you tell me why you have a conflict with your father?"
Su Xue's face was filled with helplessness and mockery. She then replied to Ye Ningze in a very low voice,
"My father is a very selfish person. Sometimes he prioritizes his own interests above all else. Precisely because of this,"
"My marriage cannot be decided by myself. Therefore, such a person absolutely cannot lead us to victory, nor can he lead the family to glory."
After Ye Ningze heard this, he seemed to understand somewhat.
In fact, Su Xue's actions were due to her own helplessness. Unless she could control her own destiny, her father would treat her as a tool and a pawn to be exploited.
Su Xue did not want to be a pawn, so she could only be an enemy to her own father. Seeing this reason, Ye Ningze simply comforted Su Xue before him,
"Don't worry. As long as I am here, no one will dare to do anything detrimental to you, nor will anyone be able to use your marriage and happiness as a gamble or a bargaining chip."
As Ye Ningze said this, it felt as if they were a couple, and Ye Ningze was making a lifelong promise to Su Xue. The atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous.
Of course, Ye Ningze didn't mean it that way. He just wanted her to believe him and to tell her that no matter when, he could be her strongest backing.
Although it was a simple statement, when Ye Ningze uttered it, it inexplicably made people feel quite warm.
It was precisely because of this that Su Xue felt she had not been abandoned by the entire world.
She appeared to be in a glorious position as the eldest daughter of the Su family, capable of mobilizing many resources. Yet, even her own father was unwilling to sacrifice anything for her.
Instead, he would casually sell her off like an object to gain some benefits.
It was precisely because of this that from this moment on, Su Xue decided that anything Ye Ningze needed and she could provide,
Su Xue would help him without hesitation.
The two soon walked out of that special place. Upon emerging, they found that everyone had gained significant rewards.
They had obtained some weapons or armor. A few lucky individuals had acquired things akin to inheritances.
Almost everyone had reaped benefits, while Ye Ningze and Su Xue, who were the most anticipated, had gained nothing.
This made them feel quite displeased. Those who had not entered this place because of Ye Ningze were completely enraged by this matter.
Since the majority of those who entered had gained something, those who had not entered were extremely frustrated.
However, they had no idea that if Ye Ningze hadn't lured away the stone guards inside, these people might have been sent back to their hometowns long ago by the stone guards, let alone obtaining so many weapons and some inheritances.
Yet, these people before them would not remember others' kindness. Instead, some were shamelessly boasting about their heroic performance in the secret realm.
Ye Ningze was not one to argue with them. Since things had come to this point, it was time for everyone to take their gains and leave.
But who could have imagined that at this moment, the young members of the Su family became unruly? Because of Ye Ningze, they had gained nothing.
Therefore, they had to come forward to demand an explanation from Ye Ningze. Although everything that had happened before was still fresh in their minds, and they clearly knew they were no match for Ye Ningze.
But the situation was different now. Those from the Su family who had originally obtained entry tickets would naturally not cause trouble for Ye Ningze.
However, now the Su family members were also dragged back by others, and they wanted to settle scores with Ye Ningze's team.
This was truly a case of biting the hand that feeds you. No one could have expected these Su family members to be so treacherous.
Moreover, they approached with menacing intent. It seemed their questioning of Ye Ningze was a pretense; their true intention was to snatch what Ye Ningze possessed.
Even those who entered the secret realm with Ye Ningze were likely not spared.
As for justice and fairness, they were nothing but nonsense.
As these individuals approached Ye Ningze, he had already understood their true intentions.
