The one who sits on the throne is not the one who is the supreme ruler.
Only those revered by these kings of gods can sit in this position.
This is not easy; there's a lot to learn about it.
Su Cheng had a close relationship with these people since childhood, and Su Cheng was the one who was recommended by them to the throne.
The main hall was filled with distinguished guests, all of whom were trusted ministers and high-ranking officials of Suzhou.
Not all of the gods who slay gods are saints with ideals and ambitions; most of them are just ordinary people.
Greedy, lustful, and has many flaws.
The one on the throne must be someone who can keep them in check, just like Su Cheng just now playfully held Yu Yan in his arms.
For example, just like Ye He and Bing Ling, Su Cheng deliberately arranged for Bing Ling to guard the entrance to Ye He's hometown, and for Ye He to guard the gate leading to Bing Ling's house.
It wasn't that Su Cheng didn't trust the two of them, but rather that he didn't want them to grow too big, as they were recruiting too quickly.
Although the two of them would never rebel, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't cause her trouble one day, such as if her left and right hands started fighting, which would be very difficult for him to handle.
However, things are different now than before. These God-Slaying Kings are no longer under her supervision. They are now fat and strong, but they complain about being poor to her every day!
Fortunately, these people are not really planning a rebellion.
If they really unite as one and decide to rebel, even Su Cheng would probably be helpless.
After all, a single tree cannot make a forest, and a single thread cannot make a line. Even if Su Cheng had three heads and six arms, he couldn't defeat more than a dozen God-Slaying Kings who held power, could he?
Moreover, these individuals were handpicked and rigorously trained, possessing outstanding combat abilities, rich practical command experience, and countless elite troops under their command.
"You really won't help me?"
"I won't help."
"You won't help no matter what?"
"I won't help."
"Then I'll sleep at your camp tonight. I have nothing to do right now, so I'll just stay here with you!"
Yu Yan was a little incredulous. He even wondered if he had misheard, but how could she have misheard?
"Su Cheng, aren't you going a bit too far? I'm not your woman."
"Not now, but that might not be the case in the future, right?"
"Su Cheng, if I'm serious and really close the curtains, can you swear you won't run away?"
Upon hearing this, Su Cheng also...
He reached out and tugged at Yu Yan a couple of times, then winked and whispered, "Uh... my disciple is right here, can't you give me some face? I'm still a Venerable One, after all..."
Yu Yan pursed her lips, speechless.
"Su Cheng, I can't afford to offend you. I'm only speaking for myself, okay? I acknowledge your sister!"
Seeing Su Cheng's satisfied expression, Yu Yan looked at him with disdain, but was also curious as to why.
Why would Su Cheng give up his position as the Venerable One when he's perfectly fine?
Is he just lazy and doesn't want to be the ruler?
Sitting here is a bit tiring, but at least you get everything you need, right?
At the very least, anyone who sees Su Cheng should kneel down and bow, right?
Even if it was Bing Ling back then, or Ye He now, they still have to give this Venerable One some face in front of others, right?
"Su Cheng, more than that, I'm curious about why... now that you're back..."
Halfway through her sentence, when the word "come back" slipped out, Yu Yan seemed to realize something.
Yu Yan was shocked. She hadn't taken it seriously at first, assuming Su Cheng just wanted to enjoy his retirement, which was fine with her...
But if you calm down and think about it carefully, it's actually quite strange.
Xiao Ai loves Su Cheng, but the kings want more than just Su Cheng; they also want His Majesty.
As long as Su Cheng sits in that position, Su Lin can obediently enjoy life and be a little princess for the rest of her life, right?
If you think about it this way, it's not hard for Yu Yan to come up with that unbelievable answer.
Yu Yan's eyes changed slightly, revealing a hint of disbelief and worry.
Are you still leaving?
Su Cheng smiled calmly without saying a word, but this was in fact his answer.
Yu Yan seemed a little incredulous, then looked at Xiao Ai beside her.
"Xiao Ai, you know about this? What is he going to do? Did you see the look in Su Cheng's eyes just now?"
Su Cheng's gaze just now made it seem as if he was about to give his last words!
If you think that way, then...
All of this!
Isn't this precisely making arrangements for what happens after death?
Upon assuming the throne, Fusulin summoned his former officials and arranged for someone to assist the new king...
This private meeting was even more of a verbal probing...
Xiao Ai still had a smile on her face, just like she always did, just like Su Cheng, all smiles as if they had some happy occasion.
Xiao Ai nodded slightly and said respectfully.
"General Yu Yan flatters me. I am but a personal attendant. How dare I speak presumptuously about what my lord intends to do?"
The fact that she dared not speak presumptuously indicates that Xiao Ai has some understanding of the matter.
Judging from Xiao Ai's behavior, she probably has a backup plan, but it doesn't seem like she has many...
Yu Yan didn't say much. Noticing two figures approaching Zhuoxin Palace, she simply took her leave, saying she was tired.
The visitors were Ye He and Meng Die. Ye He came to talk to Su Cheng about the recent work progress, while Meng Die came to kidnap the child.
Ye He naturally agreed. Although he did hope that Ye He could talk to Su Lin about work, he couldn't just kick her out, could he?
Ye He is very difficult to appease when she throws a tantrum.
As for Mengdie: "No, Mengdie, don't you dare bully my Youwei. My disciple is still young, only a teenager."
