He was not like Shang Ningyi, who insisted on obtaining something that was not his even though he knew it would not work.
He had helped Shang Ningyi simply because there was no clear distinction between good and evil between Shang Ningyi and Qian Jiyun.
Furthermore, he disliked Qian Jiyun, who had a personality that infuriated him. Hence, what was wrong with helping Shang Ningyi deal with the people he hated?
However, the situation changed. Qian Jiyun might have someone who could be the successor of the inter-plane travelers.
“So you’re saying we have to be on good terms with Lord Qian in the future?” the guardian asked.
They had always been on Shang Ningyi’s side. Their sudden desire to befriend Qian Jiyun might make him suspect that they had ulterior motives—that they were getting closer to them to attack again.
Besides, befriending Qian Jiyun would not be that easy.
“Befriending him is another matter.” Tang Zhengxiao raised his hand and interrupted the guardian.
It was not up to them to decide if they could be on good terms. It was Qian Jiyun who had the ultimate say in this.
Most importantly, they could not be on good terms with Shang Ningyi anymore. They had to display their stance. Would Qian Jiyun be foolish enough to wait and be schemed against if Shang Ningyi wanted to plot against him and exploit An Jiuyue’s status as the successor of the inter-plane travelers?
Qian Jiyun probably knew about this long ago, right?
“Is this the only thing that happened in Camp Ning Se?”
“No. Xue Fangyang wants to take Shang Ningluo with him. He wants to marry her,” the guardian added.
“However, I don’t think Xue Fangyang has taken a fancy to Shang Ningluo. He’s afraid that Shang Ningyi won’t be willing to work for him, so he wants to use her as a hostage.”
“Pft.” Tang Zhengxiao sneered.
Not only were they blinded by the prospective benefits, but they also lost their brains, right?
Would Shang Ningyi let Xue Fangyang take her away if he really cared about her? Xue Fangyang was stupid. Did he really think he could use Shang Ningluo to control Shang Ningyi?
Shang Ningyi too. Did he think Xue Fangyang would trust him if he allowed him to take Shang Ningluo away? Would he stop sending people to keep an eye on him?
Even Tang Zhengxiao knew not to believe in anyone but himself.
“Also…” The quardian thought for a moment and hesitated.
“Why are you hemming and hawing? Tell me,” Tang Zhengxiao said in a deep voice.
“I heard that Shang Ningyi and Lord Fu fell out. Shang Ningyi is thinking about how to deal with Lord Fu, and Lord Fu hasn’t been to the camp in a few days. This seems to have started after Shang Ningyi and Xue Fangyang quarreled that day.”
The guardian explained everything in one breath.
Upon hearing that, Tang Zhengxiao roughly understood what was happening.
“I knew Qian Jiyun wouldn’t let someone he doesn’t trust come to Huayan Peak.
It really came true, right?”
He had long suspected that Fu Ming’s conflict with Qian Jiyun was a deliberate deception.
It seemed like it had indeed turned out to be true. And Shang Ningyi must have been furious when he realized that Fu Ming had fooled him, right?
“My Lord, do you mean that Lord Fu and Lord Qian’s relationship is not as rumored? Do they actually… have a good relationship?”
The guardian was shocked..
