Chapter 536: Chapter 538 Gentle and Jade-like Yi Shaochen (2)
Shaochen swept his gaze over Mu Ruyue, pondered for a long mont, and said, “You have never been down the mountain, so you don’t know about the Four Major Families on the continent!”
“The Four Major Families?”
“Exactly,” Shaochen nodded slightly, “These four families are the Ouyang Family, the Nangong Family, the Dongfang Family, and the Moshang Family. Each family represents one of the Four Countries, or rather, these four major families are the true rulers of the Four Countries. Even inheriting the throne requires their approval; only the person they approve can beco the Emperor.”
In other words, the Four Major Families are the undisputed rulers within Wujie!
Mu Ruyue slightly raised her eyebrows. On the Divine Martial Continent, although there were many forces greater than the imperial power, those powers disdained worldly authority, so there had never been a dictatorship.
Shaochen looked at Mu Ruyue with a complex expression: “The Ouyang Family is the ruler of Lingyun Country, and the person they support is Prince Xuan, Yi Shaoxuan.”
So it was a struggle between brothers…
Mu Ruyue felt sowhat emotional; wherever one went, such things were inescapable.
“You want to obtain imperial power?” Mu Ruyue looked up at Shaochen, her eyes revealing a glint that was hard to read.
Shaochen narrowed his eyes slightly, the corners of his lips slowly relaxing, as he seriously regarded the woman before him, his eyes flickering with deep thought.
Suddenly, he laughed. The laughter, a departure from his usual gentleness, carried a hint of indiscernible aning: “To hold the power of the world when awake, to lie in the laps of beauties when drunk, it is the lifelong wish of everyone, and this prince is no different.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Ruyue was slightly startled; she had only asked casually, who would have thought that Shaochen would so openly admit it.
Was he not afraid of these words getting out?
“If you want imperial power, I can help you obtain it, but…” Mu Ruyue’s eyes flashed, “I need you to help find soone!”
“Who?”
“My man…”
Finding Ye Wuchen in Wujie using her own strength alone would be like finding a needle in a haystack, hence, she must utilize his power. As a prince with ambitions for the throne, he surely possessed his own network of informants, which would make things much easier.
Shaochen’s gaze fell on the upturned corners of Mu Ruyue’s lips, his smile warm: “You said you and your master lived on the mountain; how then did a man co into the picture?”
Mu Ruyue was taken aback, Shaochen was not foolish after all.
“Did I ever say there were only my master and I on the mountain?” Mu Ruyue replied with a cold smile, “Shaochen, trust , in this world, I am the only one who can help you! And you just need to help find one person, that is the deal between us!”
Yes, it was just a deal…
Shaochen smiled, his peach-blossom eyes briefly scanning the woman’s features: “Good, I accept this deal. I hope you won’t disappoint !”
It wasn’t that Shaochen lacked caution, trusting a random woman he had picked up, but rather, this woman was a Martial Artist. Since she was a Martial Artist, there was no need for her to deceive him.
If she were a spy from another country, that would be even better, as her flaws would definitely show during their interactions. By the ti he inherited the throne, he would then deal with it…
“Shaochen, tell in detail about so matters on the continent.” The light in Mu Ruyue’s eyes gradually deepened, only by understanding this world could she act more conveniently…
