Anxiety, breakdown, determination, passion...
There is also much anger and endless greed.
Jiang Cheng could see the greed in her eyes—a desire for supreme power, an attempt to seize imperial authority, something she dreamed about every night.
At this point, Jiang Cheng also understood the ins and outs of the matter.
What Ke Bing recounted was the bloodshed and struggle among the royal family of the Sakura Kingdom, a dark past that ordinary people could never touch, and the quagmire they were now mired in.
Although there was some rift between them, and a strange past.
But through Ke Bing's explanation, Jiang Cheng finally understood.
He must be a subordinate whom Ke Bing trusts very much, the kind of so-called "confidant".
Otherwise, if Ke Bing were to reveal the plans he just mentioned, the consequences would be...
It's unthinkable.
Whether he'll survive is another matter, but Ke Bing will definitely be devoured by her two rivals, leaving not a trace of flesh. After all, her ambition to seize power is obvious, making her their number one competitor. And if those two's characteristics match her description perfectly…
After a moment's thought, Jiang Cheng could roughly guess that if Ke Bing's plan to seize the throne were leaked, that so-called two-faced "De Mu Jingchuan" would first use the foolish "De Mu Pingqi" to get rid of Ke Bing, then turn around and betray his allies, and finally take the throne for himself.
As Ke Bing's confidant, he will certainly be among the first to be eliminated.
This is precisely the cruelty of the royal family.
At the same time, Gu Qingwan, who had been quietly accompanying him in his consciousness, spoke again: "Boss, also, regarding the promotion of assassins, and the final audience that De Mu Jiaxian just mentioned, I'll also add some background information for you."
"The assassins in the Demu family are divided into two levels: 'Heavenly Stems' and 'Earthly Branches'. The ten Heavenly Stems are the familiar Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui; the twelve Earthly Branches are Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai."
"Boss, the group you are currently in is the Gui group in the Heavenly Stems. In the test after you opened your eyes, only you and the two women you had met before remained in the Gui group. With only three people left, the fighting will temporarily stop, and you can all rest for a while."
"During this period, all the remaining groups will engage in the same multiple rounds of fighting. In the end, the three elite-level assassins from each group will be randomly grouped and fight again. Ultimately, only the assassin who survives to the end will be honored as the strongest assassin of this generation and will also be given an opportunity to meet the emperor."
"The audience that Demu Jiaxian has been repeatedly emphasizing is precisely such a hard-won opportunity. After all, even those of them who have a chance to inherit the family rarely have the opportunity to meet the head of the family face to face, let alone exchange a few words with him. But if a trusted henchman gets such an opportunity, it's a completely different story. You should understand how much benefit they will gain, right?"
Jiang Cheng had now almost finished filling in the gaps in his worldview, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
The dream world of the Sakura Kingdom is truly not something an ordinary person can withstand... Just those countless bloody battles have already left a considerable shadow in one's heart.
Recalling the scenes he saw when he first opened his eyes, Jiang Cheng still felt nauseous and physically uncomfortable. The thought of possibly experiencing this many more times in the future filled him with even more weariness.
It seems...
We really need to find the "projection" in this layer of the dream world as soon as possible.
Once the "projection" is found and successfully combined, this nightmare will end.
Anyway, assassins are just lackeys of the royal family and nobility. Does it matter whose dog they are?
Jiang Cheng felt somewhat numb. As he closed his eyes, he sighed inwardly.
We still need to hurry...
Meanwhile, Ke Bing, who had been standing to the side, looked increasingly grim.
So much time has passed since she finished speaking, and Jiang Cheng still hasn't reacted at all! He remains as indifferent as ever, as if everything in the world is irrelevant to him.
Ke Bing was extremely anxious, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead. She took two steps forward, gripping her wide sleeves tightly, and shouted hoarsely at Jiang Cheng, "I'm asking you a question! Did you hear me? If you play dead now, you'll only drag us deeper into an abyss of no return! You must live!"
