The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

It’s easy to add flowers to the brocade, but hard to send charcoal in snowy weather.

The same helping hand can mean different things at different times.

Pei Xuanjing nodded lightly and said indifferently, "Such changes in the dynasty have occurred countless times already; for these religious sects and noble families, they are well within their reach. Even without my intervention, they could easily accomplish this matter. Thus, my joining would only mean sharing in their benefits without any good reason."

"But if the Da Ye Dynasty becomes powerful, exceeding their control, and at times when their own forces are insufficient to suppress disturbances and they need reinforcements, wouldn’t my assistance then become as crucial as sending charcoal in the snow? And if successful in the future, shouldn’t there be a share of the benefits due to me?"

Sun Liang nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly furrowed his brows, as if he had spotted a problem. Puzzled, he said, "But teacher, if that is so, shouldn’t we promote such matters in a low profile? By declaring loud and clear that we are behind the strengthening of the Da Ye Dynasty, even if we resolve the matter successfully, they might still harbor dissatisfaction, or even resentment towards you, Teacher!"

In the midst of a dynasty’s change, powerhouses from various religious sects and noble families are involved, and those without enough power can end up paying with their lives, something these religious sects and noble families can accept.

However, if someone behind the scenes exacerbates the conflict during these changes, it would inevitably lead to the fall of many powerhouses from these religious sects and noble families.

Sun Liang’s worry is that such acts will certainly attract dissatisfaction from these religious sects and noble families, after all, everyone has friends and family; how could they readily accept this?

Therefore, in his view, shouldn’t they act discreetly and not expose such schemes to the public? Why then does his teacher deliberately promote this event?

"Why would they resent me when my actions also lead to their gaining substantial benefits?" Pei Xuanjing said unconcernedly.
