Chapter 1910 - 1856– - 1857 Missed Opportunities
"Although this move is fraught with risk and can be considered a gamble, from Zhao Baiyang’s standpoint, there’s no issue with such actions, as the opportunity could vanish in an instant." Pang Hong shared his perspective, and in a way, he was acknowledging Zhao Baiyang’s actions.
"Achieving the status of a Taoist Monarch is inherently risky. While this move seems perilous, he skillfully draws all parties onto his chessboard, effectively utilizing their conflicts—quite a success," Yu Zhenzi nodded in agreement.
Yu Zhenzi was quite familiar with Zhao Baiyang; in fact, they were of the same generation. They had interacted before, and one could say they knew each other quite well.
To many, this operation seemed full of risk, as if betting one’s life, like an immense gamble.
But for these powerful individuals, no top-tier plan is perfect, and using oneself as a pawn when necessary might just be the best choice.
Especially since Zhao Baiyang seeks true independence, unaided by other Taoist Monarchs, the suppression he faces far exceeds that of any single side. Compared to this, this instance is insignificant.
"It’s been years, yet this Taoist Friend remains as elegant as ever." Pei Xuanjing smiled slightly, seemingly unsurprised by Zhao Baiyang’s actions.
On the path of Pei Xuanjing’s initial rise, he often interacted with Zhao Baiyang. Although Zhao Baiyang appeared flexible, not merely a rigid person, Pei Xuanjing knew his underlying pride had never changed.
This kind of subtle countermeasure, which might seem like a huge risk to others, seemed almost natural for Zhao Baiyang.
Even if Pei Xuanjing were in his place, faced with the opportunity to become a Taoist Monarch, he would naturally not let it slip by. A small risk is nothing; if one cannot bear even this slight risk, how can they aim for the peak?
