Prince Ning sent a money-giving boy, allowing Zheng Ya to earn a net profit of two million points.
With money again, Zheng Ya plans to purchase a batch of Five Elements War Puppet components to create thirty sixth-tier peak talents.
This is equivalent to a 30-person team sent by a powerful family.
There's potential, but Zheng Ya feels that the chances of making money by swindling people are probably dwindling, so making money has become the top priority!
Lost in thought, Zheng Ya darted into the interstellar spaceship's control room. Xu Qi, still shaken, rushed forward to greet him: "You're playing with fire! Aren't you afraid of angering Prince Ning's faction...?"
“Zheng Ya did a good job. Isn’t it very effective to test the strength and attitude of Prince Ning’s faction in this way?” Fu Qingyao rationally saw through Zheng Ya’s scheme to test people’s hearts.
After all, the Ning Prince's faction was a group that was invited by Zheng Ya to join.
Although the Prince of Ning's faction arrived here at their own expense and did not give Zheng Ya a single point, which was considered quite courteous, no one could guarantee that they did not intend to enslave Zheng Ya and use him for their own purposes.
The fact that they had conspired to perform a double act was known only to Zheng Ya; no one else, including his family, knew the truth.
Even so, Zheng Ya could not guarantee that the Prince of Ning's faction was truly helping him, and testing their strength was of utmost urgency.
The trial went quite well, showing a hint of a win-win situation.
But people can pretend, and you can't be sure until the very last moment. Zheng Ya was still a little worried: "I know what I'm doing in this matter."
The most urgent task is for you to prepare to meet the teams that have been ready on the three planets. I may not be able to leave.
"Leave this to me, okay?" Li Yunlong accepted the task, and Fu Qingyao asked worriedly, "What did you mean by 'going it alone' earlier?"
"We'll talk about this when the time is right..." Zheng Ya kept it a secret for the time being, which aroused everyone's curiosity, but he had to go back to his own work.
On the other side.
Prince Ning returned to Wangyue Star Fortress, fuming, "You bastard! How dare you play tricks on me! You're infuriating!"
"Prince Ning, instead of getting angry, why don't you think of a way to get some points?" the middle-aged man warned irritably. Those ten billion points were the funds for everyone to buy rare and precious materials for cultivation, not just Prince Ning's points.
The initial ten million points were Ning Wang's private property.
Don't say Prince Ning is poor; it's just that points are too valuable.
One point is equivalent to ten million gold coins in the Qian Yuan Continent, which is a fortune.
It's easy to imagine that when Prince Ning took out ten million points, that was money that even the richest man in the area could squander at will, something that even powerful families couldn't handle.
Buying a Five-Colored Golden Lotus as a gift with ten million points? Don't be ridiculous, that's just a dream.
Prince Ning finally snapped out of his rage, his face turning ashen with anger: "Has this prince been manipulated by that brat Zheng Ya?"
"Prince Ning, you're only finding out now?" the middle-aged man added sarcastically, striking a blow that aimed to crush his spirit.
Prince Ning was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder. He paced back and forth in the hall, roaring, "Damn it, damn Zheng Ya, how dare he..."
"Prince Ning, your mind is in turmoil."
Who trusts whom in this world? The middle-aged man was actually a strategist appointed by the four great families; he had only acted like a brash man in front of Zheng Ya before.
Who can blame them? Middle-aged men are naturally big and burly, with scraggly beards, making them look like thugs and brutes.
If he doesn't play villainous lackeys, all villains should be out of a job.
Prince Ning was almost in tears: "Old Zhong, what should I do?"
I have three solutions.
"The best course of action is for Prince Ning to humble himself and seek help from the powerful families of the Qian Yuan Continent to raise funds for the second time to develop the foundation of this starry sky. The only loss would be Prince Ning's dignity, and he might even lose some benefits, which would be of little consequence to Prince Ning..." Old Zhong calmly raised his index finger and said the best course of action.
This almost made Prince Ning so angry that he drew his sword and attacked someone. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Pass."
"The best course of action is to act chivalrously. Prince Ning could lead his men to strike at the Eagle King's faction and rob their fundraising efforts, thus relieving the pressure on our side from the funding shortage."
"This ebb and flow benefits our growth and development, while we watch others make fools of themselves," Old Zhong said, raising his middle finger with a wicked grin.
I can tell, that's what he wants to do.
With a blood feud, killing was probably his only goal, wasn't it?
Upon realizing this, Prince Ning shook his head vigorously, rejecting the idea outright: "Pass!"
Old Zhong said with a regretful expression, "The worst-case scenario is to deprive the Eagle King's lineage of their income, accumulate little by little, and slowly grow stronger..."
"Nonsense, you might as well say we should go to war with them!" Prince Ning was angry, but he knew he had fallen into a dead end.
It's all Zheng Ya's fault, now I'm in real trouble.
Old Zhong seized the opportunity to say, "Prince Ning, don't forget that Wu Wei is pregnant with Zheng Ya's child. The Eagle King will definitely make an issue of the marriage alliance."
In fact, we all know that Eagle King plans to control Zheng Ya and then use his points to buy cultivation resources so that he won't encounter Zheng Ya's trickery.
If this becomes the norm, it's tantamount to controlling Zheng Ya, and turning him into a puppet is only a matter of time.
However, this Zheng Ya is no ordinary man. Not only did he forcefully force back the Eagle King, but he also tricked the Prince of Ning. He's clearly determined not to suffer any losses, isn't he?
"Damn it! Didn't he see or notice my attempts to be friendly?" Prince Ning was furious but had nowhere to vent his anger.
Old Zhong laughed: "Prince Ning, you're doing your old tricks again!"
People's hearts are unpredictable. You're trying to gain our trust by showing goodwill. May I ask how much the Prince of Ning costs per kilogram?
Prince Ning, don't forget that you were chosen by the aristocratic families to be their leader because of your upright character. You can't afford to make a mistake in this regard!
"Go away, go away! I'm treating people with sincerity, not like that stupid thing where I was tricked after being too kind. How despicable!" Prince Ning said, losing confidence in himself.
It's possible that the desire to genuinely befriend the Starry Sky Monitor is at play.
The key issue is that he also has to play a villain, which creates a contradiction. Prince Ning wanted to shout, "I really can't act!"
Little did they know that in the fortress diagonally opposite them, the Eagle King angrily smashed his beloved tea set: "Damn it, that little bitch Wu Wei dared to threaten me!"
“Eagle King, Wu Wei’s reputation for opportunism and scheming is well-known throughout the Qian Yuan Continent. Moreover, she has managed to connect with the Starry Sky Inspector. She will definitely stop at nothing to achieve her goals!” The skinny monk said, fearing that he would ignore Wu Wei’s true nature.
Eagle King, his murderous aura palpable, hesitated: "So, that little bitch Wu Xiao has schemed against us all?"
"Eagle King, even if we don't consider that the seven great families have sided with Zheng Ya, he'll still end up as a plaything. What would you do in his place?" The skinny monk wanted to wake him up with a blow. How could such a ruthless person be so naive?
The Eagle King gritted his teeth: "What I mean is, how dare she do this?"
"Only when faced with a desperate situation where one is afraid to act rashly will a person develop the determination to burn their boats and fight to the death!" The skinny monk implied to him that Wu Wei did not care about the life or death of the Wu family, but only about her own future.
Although it is almost impossible for aristocratic families to produce someone as selfish and self-serving as Wu Wei, it is only because their parents and relatives are their weakness, and even with the help of relatives, it is difficult to get ahead, even if they get close to the Starry Sky Inspector. Therefore, the higher-ups of aristocratic families have overlooked Wu Wei, an extremist.
The Eagle King's face contorted incredulously: "How about I order her killed, framed as if by Prince Ning's faction, and make use of her as a piece of trash..."
"Eagle King, this matter has great potential, but we must proceed with caution!" The skinny monk said no more.
This matter has been resolved; it's killing two birds with one stone.
If not handled properly, it will lead to utter failure.
After all, those who schemed against the Starry Sky Monitors and their forces, when the truth was exposed, all met tragic ends, including the individuals and families involved.
Successful people are often unknown.
Eagle King fell silent, unsure how to change the subject: "What do you think of Zheng Ya's relationship with the Prince of Ning's faction?"
"They seem to be on the surface but are actually at odds. There might be some deception involved. Otherwise, how could Zheng Ya dare to betray the Prince of Ning's faction? That would be like cutting off their lifeline!" The skinny monk couldn't understand.
