At this, Shao Sansheng worried. "Can their word be trusted? What if Young Master yields, but they refuse to honor their promise?"
Shao Pingbo said, "Do you think His Majesty won't know what happened? They tossed the princess around like a ball—do you think His Majesty will be pleased? Let them try breaking their promise. In the short term, they won't dare lay a hand on those students again. As for the future... only once we have secured a certain degree of power will there be room to maneuver."
Shao Sansheng said dejectedly, "At this rate, who knows when it will end."
Shao Pingbo said, "What happened this time is not necessarily a bad thing for those students. After years of tempering, and now this incident, they should understand how to protect themselves carefully and not so easily leave others with something to seize upon. A setback teaches a lesson; it may not be a bad thing. Sometimes bad things can be turned into good things. Jin Kingdom only took them in and settled them for the sake of my defection before, yet they have always suffered exclusion. Through this incident, their opportunity has come. I can use the momentum to push them before His Majesty."
"But Young Master..." Shao Sansheng's eyes reddened again. What he meant was that Shao Pingbo had suffered far too much humiliation for the sake of those students.
Shao Pingbo said, "I said this may not be a bad thing. I will show His Majesty another kind of landscape and open another path for myself as well. It can dissolve the situation of being enemies with the entire court; remaining hostile to these people forever is detrimental to me. In the end, this was also my own fault. I was too impatient.
