Nie Yang did not know who this self-proclaimed "Emperor Assistance System" in his mind was.
Was it a human or a ghost? Was it a god or a demon? But he knew that its origins were not simple.
It saw through Nie Yang's ambitions, and Nie Yang needed its help to realize his ambitions. The two hit it off and worked well together.
Nie Yang wanted to stand out and control the Nie family. He wanted to use the Nie family to soar to the throne.
However, this goal was too difficult. It would be difficult to achieve without the help of allies.
"Can you really help me become an emperor?"
Nie Yang pondered the authenticity of these words.
He looked gentle and generous. Others thought he was weak and easy to bully, but this thing saw through his ambitions.
"It's true. The Dragon Energy on you is the richest in Zhongzhao. You will definitely become a hegemon in the future."
Nie Yang laughed. Although he was ambitious, he did not have much hope.
The old master of the Nie family was not dead yet. His sons were still alive and kicking. They were all part of the reincarnation brigade. Who knew how many sons he had … Nie Yang was only one of the forty or fifty great-grandchildren. How could he stand out from so many people?
Unless …
Those who stood in his way were all dead. Those who survived could not compete with him.
"You're so confident. I don't really believe you."
Nie Yang met the System when he was nine. He had been wary of it for the first few years. After spending time with it and it had helped Nie Yang a lot, he slowly began to trust it. The two had worked together for more than ten years. Nie Yang trusted this "friend" more and more.
As a nobody in the Nie family, Nie Yang knew one thing. If he did not compete, he was destined to be stepped on and never be able to rise again.
Since the System said that he had the True Dragon Emperor Energy, his future was limitless. Why not fight for his future?
If Nie Yang wanted to rise, he first had to help the third branch of the Nie family stand out. Then, it would be much easier to deal with the others.
After the System's reminder, Nie Yang knew that his uncle Nie Liang was a talent that could revitalize the Nie family. At the same time, he was also a stumbling block.
As long as Nie Liang was in the fifth branch, the third branch's chances of winning were slim.
Nie Yang said, "If Nie Liang is weak and does not have long to live, will he not be an obstacle?"
The System gasped. "You want to assassinate Nie Liang?"
This was his uncle!
Nie Yang smiled and said, "Didn't you tell me that Nie Liang is a short-lived ghost and is destined to not live long? But I see that he is in good health, without any illness or disaster, which doesn't seem to match what you told me. I'm not taking his life right away, I'm just letting him follow his destiny!]
The System did it cleanly. It was two years after Nie Liang realized that he had been poisoned and the poison had seeped into his bones.
To be honest, Nie Yang was quite afraid that Nie Liang would find out about it.
At this moment, he wasn't a match for Nie Liang at all, and once he was dragged out, his life would be over.
Who knew that the System's abilities were beyond imagination, even Nie Liang couldn't find many clues. Nie Yang's plan became even bolder.
In order to make everyone believe that he was gentle and harmless, Nie Yang had worn a false mask for many years, almost fooling himself.
He was often bullied by his brothers, and no matter how badly he was bullied, he didn't know how to fight back, and was even used as a knife.
However, at the same time of disguise, he also needed to build connections, and those hedonistic sons were the easiest to fool.
For example, Nie Yang had once befriended the grandson of an elder of the Nie Clan. He was an out-and-out hedonistic son of a rich family — unambitious, conceited, stupid, and easily manipulated. The thing he hated the most was that someone was better than him. What did this hedonistic son do that was out of line?
Under Nie Yang's instigation, he purposely caused trouble for a young scholar at a gathering.
That young scholar didn't have any background, but he was extremely talented and didn't know how to hide his talent, boasting of his intelligence. In the end, he angered the hedonistic son, and because of his words, the hedonistic son took revenge and broke his leg. Not only that, the hedonistic son didn't let it go, and colluded with the magistrate's office to frame the young scholar with a groundless crime, and he was sent to the border for two years. In the end, the scholar's body was weak and couldn't take it, and he died of a cold halfway through.
The young scholar died, and it was said that the scholar's mother and wife died of illness not long after, leaving only an old man and a child.
He was a cold and heartless person, and Nie Yang didn't pay attention to where the grandfather and grandson went.
He only vaguely remembered that the young scholar's surname was Sun, and his name was Lie.
So what if he was talented?
If he wanted to fly before his wings were strong, sooner or later, he would be broken and fall to his death!
Over the years, the Emperor's Assistance System taught Nie Yang a lot of tricks, and Nie Yang also used the system to do many small tricks.
All the plans were going well, but who would have thought that Nie Liang would become the only anomaly?
Nie Liang, who had never fought for power, suddenly rose up, imprisoned Old Master Nie, forcefully seized the family's power, and made a few of his uncles a figurehead.
His actions were unbelievably fast, and by the time Nie Yang reacted, the overall situation had already been settled.
Nie Liang was in power, and the five branches rose in status. Nie Liang's eldest son also became a phoenix, and his value doubled.
This change made Nie Yang panic, but he didn't give himself away. Instead, he pitifully won Nie Liang's eldest son's favor.
After a few years of getting along, the two of them were closer than blood brothers, and even Nie Liang let down his guard against him.
"Just a little more …"
Nie Yang leaned against the pavilion, and Nie Liang's eldest son was bathed in the sunlight, holding a book and memorizing it.
[What do you plan to do?]
Nie Yang said, [Nie Liang isn't someone easy to deal with. When he was alive, I would definitely arouse his suspicions if I made too many moves. The safest way is to outlive him. According to Nie Liang's temperament, he couldn't do anything to his uncles when he was alive, so he might take them away before he died to clear the obstacles for his son. This way, it's equivalent to helping me clear my competitors. I can't beat Nie Liang, but can't I beat Nie Liang's son? Nie Liang himself is full of schemes, but the son he raised is so innocent and gullible. What a pity.]
[To tell you the truth, this is called being of the same origin.]
Nie Yang glanced at it, and he almost laughed.
'Being of the same origin?
Does it mean that Nie Liang is also innocent and gullible? '
The system said, [In a sense, Nie Liang is indeed quite gullible. His weakness is too obvious, and he's also stubborn.]
Nie Yang was speechless.
After a while, he said, [What you said … makes sense.]
The system asked again, [What if Nie Liang didn't drag you down with him at the last minute?]
Nie Yang's gaze was slightly cold. [Do you know how to frame someone? Dead people don't speak. Nie Liang has to take the blame even if he doesn't want to.]
Nie Yang was chatting happily with the system when Nie Liang's eldest son, who was under the sun, called out.
"Ah Yang, what's so interesting about this pavilion? Come to my place, the courtyard is beautiful in spring."
Nie Yang said, "I don't really like it. It's easy to tan."
"The sun isn't hot, so how can you tan? You're a man, not a lady. Why are you afraid of the dark? "
