After leaving Bashu Path, Su Xin returned to Jiannan Path without stopping.
For Su Xin, the most time-consuming part of this plan was probably traveling.
However, Su Xin had made some new discoveries during his trip to Bashu Path. It seemed that a new round of competition for the throne was about to begin.
Ever since Ji Yancheng and the others were stripped of their power last time, Ji Haodian allowed all the princes to enter the capital and have the qualifications to fight for the position of crown prince.
As the saying goes, a fallen phoenix is inferior to a chicken. Although Su Xin did not deliberately find out, Ji Yancheng and the other princes were in an extremely miserable situation. Apart from their personal eunuchs, they could not even find a warrior in the Divine Transformation Realm.
In fact, it was normal to think about it. Ji Haodian had already hated them. Even if someone wanted to make trouble for him, they would not look for them because that would be purely courting death.
Therefore, the other princes who had established their own mansions outside had accumulated a lot of power.
Ji Yanxiu had a good foundation because of Su Xin's help. He could even be ranked in the top five among the princes of the Zhou Kingdom.
A new round of competition for the throne would begin soon. Of course, all this depended on how long Ji Haodian could live.
It was estimated that a new round of competition for the throne would only begin when Ji Haodian really could not make it.
Therefore, Su Xin would keep this matter in mind, but he would not get involved right now. Otherwise, with Ji Haodian's character, he would simply be courting death by doing so.
Ji Haodian looked like he was about to die and could not even hold up for a long time. After all, he was the king of the Zhou Kingdom. Who knew what kind of treasures the Zhou Kingdom had? It was really unknown how long Ji Haodian could live.
When Su Xin returned to Jiannan Path, it took him a month to go back and forth to Bashu Path.
Therefore, Su Xin did not delay and directly went to Mingjian Villa to pay his respects.
When He Wushan and He Xiu heard the news of Su Xin's arrival, they were suddenly stunned. They did not understand what Su Xin meant.
However, Su Xin paid his respects in the name of the imperial court. Even if the Mingjian Villa had some friction with Su Xin, now that Su Xin represented the imperial court, they had to meet him.
He Wushan coughed and said, "Go and invite Su Xin to the reception room."
A disciple hurriedly went out to greet Su Xin, while He Wushan brought He Xiu to the reception room of Mingjian Villa.
Of course, He Wushan was not the only warrior at the Yang God Realm in Mingjian Villa. However, he was the master of the family, so his words carried enormous weight in Mingjian Villa. Therefore, it was enough for He Wushan to speak alone.
This was also one of the characteristics of Mingjian Villa. The power that the head of the family could control was quite great.
In other forces, such as Qingcheng sword school, the other elders were fighting for power and profit for their own forces and quarreling with each other. However, this could also check and balance the power of the head of the family.
Mingjian Villa, on the other hand, did the opposite. You were the Patriarch, so your words carried enormous weight. All the power belonged to you, but at the same time, the future of Mingjian Villa also rested on your shoulders.
If he could do well in this position, he would naturally be glorious. However, if he could not do it, he would be the sinner of Mingjian Villa.
Therefore, He Wushan was so strict with He Xiu. This was not only because of He Xiu's character, but also because of the system of Mingjian Villa.
If He Xiu really could not bear the position of the heir of Mingjian Villa, He Wushan would really replace him.
He would rather train a new heir than let He Xiu take the risk to inherit the position of the head of the family. Otherwise, letting He Xiu take the position would not only harm He Xiu, but also harm Mingjian Villa.
After a while, Su Xin was led in by a disciple. He Wushan and He Xiu were both sitting there, but the two of them did not speak. They just looked at Su Xin coldly.
Su Xin did not care. As if he was not an outsider, he found a chair and sat down. He picked up the cold tea in the teacup and began to drink.
Seeing Su Xin's behavior, He Wushan frowned and said, "Su Xin, what do you want to do in Mingjian Villa? You can't be here to drink tea, right? "
Su Xin smiled and said, "Villa Master He, actually, I'm here to discuss a deal with you."
He Wushan did not say anything, but He Xiu sneered and said, "Su Xin, leave. Mingjian Villa will not have any deal with you.
Back in Nine Levels Sword Pavilion, you snatched many things from Mingjian Villa. Now, you still have the cheek to discuss a deal with us? "
He Xiu was not slandering Su Xin. In fact, what Su Xin had done back then was indeed not very honorable.
No matter if it was Mingjian Villa or the White Lotus Sect, no one could snatch anything that he had his eyes on. Therefore, Su Xin was the one who had gained the most from Nine Levels Sword Pavilion. He had gained both fame and fortune. It was no wonder that so many people disliked him.
"Brother He, don't be so petty. These are just small matters. Don't worry about it."
Su Xin looked at He Wushan with a burning gaze and said, "Villa Master He, don't you want to hear what I want to talk about?"
He Wushan looked deeply at Su Xin and said, "Tell me, what do you want?"
Su Xin said indifferently, "It's not that I want anything, but this matter was originally a matter of mutual benefit.
Zhou Guoguo is willing to exchange the Rune Expansion on the White Jade Stone Slab for Mingjian Villa's Rune Expansion.
Moreover, Zhou Guoguo wants to take action against Qingcheng Sword School. When that time comes, I hope Villa Master He will not interfere. "
After Su Xin said that, He Wushan and He Xiu were stunned.
Exchanging Rune Expansion was, of course, extremely beneficial for them.
Sword God Mountain and Fighting Sword Sect also had Rune Expansion. However, they would not trade with Mingjian Villa.
The reason was the same as Qingcheng Sword School not allowing Bashu Sword Pavilion to research Solipsism Sword. It was because none of the Five Sword Sects wanted the other party to be too strong.
Now that it was Zhou Guoguo, they did not have this concern because the difference in strength between the two parties was too big.
Anyway, there would be no change to the situation of Zhou Guoguo and the entire Underworld. Therefore, they could trade with ease.
However, He Wushan was shocked by Su Xin's second sentence. Zhou Guoguo wanted to take action against Qingcheng Sword School and wanted Mingjian Villa to watch from the sidelines.
Almost instantly, He Wushan made a decision. He immediately said, "Lord Su, there is no room for negotiation. As one of the Five Sword Sects, if Qingcheng Sword School has offended the imperial court, Mingjian Villa can naturally intervene. However, if the imperial court wants to destroy the sect, Mingjian Villa will never agree to it! The other martial artists in the Underworld will not agree to it either! "
The corners of Su Xin's mouth curled into a smile when he saw He Wushan's intense reaction.
Su Xin was not surprised by He Wushan's reaction at all. He had already expected it.
It was not because of the close relationship between Mingjian Villa and Qingcheng Sword School. It was just that one's position determined one's position.
The Sword Fighting Sect was not willing to care about Qingcheng Sword School because of the old grudge.
The Sword God Mountain was not used to meddling in other people's business.
The Bashu Sword Pavilion chose to watch from the sidelines because of the temptation of Solipsism Sword.
They all had their own reasons for choosing to watch from the sidelines. There was naturally a reason why Mingjian Villa did not want to give up Qingcheng Sword School. The reason was because Mingjian Villa was the leader of the Five Sword Sects.
Only with the Five Sword Sects could there be a leader of the Five Sword Sects. It could be said that Mingjian Villa's current status even represented the interests of the Five Sword Sects.
In the end, Qingcheng Sword School had been destroyed by the Imperial Court. Did this not mean that the Five Sword Sects were nothing much? The Imperial Court could destroy them just like that.
The Sword Fighting Sect and the others might not care, but as the leader of the Five Sword Sects, Mingjian Villa would be the first to bear the brunt. Even their title as the leader of the Five Sword Sects would only exist in name.
However, Su Xin had already thought of this. He was certain that the most difficult to deal with among these sects was Mingjian Villa. That was why he had gone to the other three sects in advance to settle things. He would rather take a longer route to look for Mingjian Villa at the end.
Therefore, looking at the determined He Wushan, Su Xin said calmly, "Villa Master He, a straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. You should know that this is not the same as it was several decades ago. The other factions in the Underworld will not stand out and join forces just because the Zhou Kingdom destroyed Qingcheng Sword School.
"Furthermore, I know why you're against it. Aren't you afraid that Mingjian Villa's position as the leader of the Five Sword Sects will only exist in name?
"Actually, you don't have to care too much about it. This so-called leader of the Five Sword Sects already exists in name."
"What do you mean?" He Wushan's expression did not change, but his heart wavered.
Su Xin spread out his hands and said, "Actually, it's very simple. I've already gone to three of the Five Sword Sects, and those three have already agreed. Your Mingjian Villa is the last one.
"It can be said that the Sword Fighting Sect and the Sword God Mountain both have two Expanded Runes, and these two clans and the Bashu Sword Pavilion have agreed to watch from the sidelines when the Zhou Kingdom takes action against Qingcheng Sword School.
"When the time comes, if Mingjian Villa wants to interfere, it's fine. I believe that with the Zhou Kingdom's abilities, it should not be a problem for them to deal with two of the Five Sword Sects."
"That's impossible!" He Xiu immediately stood up and said.
Su Xin said indifferently, "If you don't believe me, you can go to the other three clans and ask around. Although they can't spread this kind of information, as one of the Five Sword Sects, Mingjian Villa, will definitely tell you. You can see if I'm lying to you."
He Xiu and He Wushan had already believed Su Xin's fearless attitude. After all, Su Xin would be an idiot to lie to them about such a serious matter.
However, it was precisely because of this that He Wushan felt a little helpless.
If the other three clans had already agreed, what was the point of Mingjian Villa persisting?
Just as Su Xin had said, the alliance of the Five Sword Sects would indeed make the Zhou Kingdom hesitate in taking action. However, if there were only two clans, the Zhou Kingdom could still deal with them.
Similarly, Mingjian Villa would not put themselves in danger for the sake of Qingcheng Sword School.
