The Struggle for the Throne, It Has Always Been So

"By the way, can I ask Mr. Mirror for help?"

Ao Feng suddenly realized what was happening.

Previously, the Hometown Exploration Team had also been banned by Ya Lin Luoxing.

Mr. Kejing still provided the financial assistance, didn't he?

And with Mr. Jing's support, how successful is the Hometown Exploration Team today?

As for Ya Lin Luoxing's ban on the Hometown Exploration Team, that's long been a joke.

Ultimately, investors prioritize profit, so if the Hometown Exploration Team can guarantee returns for investors...

What's so special about Ya Lin Luoxing? Numerous investors will actively fund the Hometown Exploration Team.

The ban on Ya Lin Luoxing is based on the premise that the banned exploration teams cannot bring sufficient returns to investors.

"Mr. Mirror! Mr. Mirror!"

Ao Feng seemed to see a glimmer of hope, a last straw.

"After what happened to Mr. Mirror last time, it's not really appropriate for us to meet directly. Let Hu Ta put in a good word for me." Ao Feng was still aware of the situation. After hesitating for a moment, he immediately contacted Hu Ta, who was exploring his Hometown.

"I'm willing to sign any contract that offers a huge return, as long as I can get Mr. Jing's funding."

Ao Feng thought to himself.

Hometown Exploration Team's base.

Su Yuan successfully signed a revenue-sharing agreement with Hu Ta for the next exploration.

Hu Ta looked delighted and was about to speak.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly as he received a message from Ao Feng, the captain of the Voyager Exploration Team.

"Mr. Mirror"

Hu Ta hesitated for a moment, then cautiously began, "Ao Feng of the Voyager Exploration Team wishes to receive your sponsorship, sir, and is willing to sign any profit-sharing agreement for this purpose."

Hu Ta and Ao Feng were not actually close, but the terms Ao Feng offered were so generous that it was almost equivalent to selling himself to Su Yuan, so Hu Ta dared not hide it and told the truth.

"Ao Feng?" Su Yuan smiled slightly, "He still dares to ask you to find me?"

Su Yuan didn't really care about Ao Feng; he had already foreseen Ao Feng's fate.

Su Yuan found it laughable that Ao Feng had acted so arrogantly, thinking he was about to soar to great heights.

"Yes, he just found me," Hu Ta said immediately. "I received news that Ao Feng suffered heavy losses on this expedition and has been blacklisted by Ya Lin Luoxing."

"No need to worry about him." Su Yuan didn't bother to continue talking about Ao Feng.

From the Grey Mirror, he already knew many of Ao Feng's fates. If he chose to continue funding him, after a few more explorations, Aufon would once again have the idea of relying on his own strength.

Such a person is too ambitious and too weak; to Su Yuan, he has no value whatsoever.

"Okay." Hu Ta immediately understood Su Yuan's attitude.

On the other side.

Ao Feng waited anxiously for Hu Ta's reply.

Now, Mr. Jing is his greatest hope. Under the blacklist of Ya Lin Luoxing, many investors hardly bother to look at him anymore. Only Mr. Jing has the past behavior of funding the Hometown Exploration Team.

It's his only chance to turn things around.

"Mr. Jing refused?"

Before long, Ao Feng received Hu Ta's reply.

"How is that possible?"

Ao Feng's face was filled with despair. "I've already made such concessions, why won't Mr. Jing provide me with financial assistance?"

"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have treated Mr. Jing that way back then."

Ao Feng looked ashen-faced. Even Mr. Jing had refused, and he couldn't think of any other investor willing to continue funding him.

Investors are willing to offend the Luoxing Family for their own profit, but Ao Feng has not shown any value and has just suffered heavy losses, losing all of Young Master Ya Lin's funding.

He, Ao Feng, is now exploring the world, making him an object of avoidance for many investors.

That mirror

After expelling Ao Feng, Ya Lin Luoxing fell into deep thought.

In fact, he had anticipated the outcome of Ao Feng's expedition. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong when the Hometown Exploration Team sponsored by Mr. Jing returned with a full harvest.

It wasn't until the Voyager Exploration Team returned with heavy losses that Ya Lin Luoxing finally confirmed that Mr. Mirror must have had channels unknown to him to understand the unknown Desolate Star Domain.

Otherwise, how could it be possible that three consecutive expeditions funded by the same organization returned with fruitful results each time?

"What methods were used to obtain information about the unknown, Desolate Star Domain?"

Ya Lin Luoxing pondered in his heart.

In fact, people like Su Yuan are not uncommon in the world of exploration. Some investors and exploration teams have mastered a certain Desolate Star Domain and can gain something from this desolate area every time they explore.

For example, obtaining a detailed star map of a Desolate Star Domain, or mastering a treasure-hunting method, etc.

"Let's go see that Mirror."

Ya Lin Luoxing made up her mind.

After signing the contract with the Hometown Exploration Team, Su Yuan left his post.

Then they saw Ya Lin Luoxing approaching.

"Mr. Mirror."

Compared to her demeanor when she first met Su Yuan, Ya Lin Luoxing was much more serious this time.

"I want to buy the detailed star map that Mr. Mirror possesses."

Ya Lin Luoxing stated directly that he speculated the reason Su Yuan was able to achieve success time and time again was that he had occasionally obtained a detailed star map of a desolate and unknown star field.

This star map may have come from an ancient exploration team.

"Detailed star map?"

Su Yuan looked at Ya Lin Luoxing, while deep within his sea of consciousness, he observed the detailed future of this second-generation member of the Luoxing Family through Grey Mirror.

"I don't."

Su Yuan shook his head.

"No?"

Ya Lin Luoxing naturally didn't believe it, thinking that his offer wasn't enough. "I'm willing to offer 500 billion Canglan Coin to buy it."

Five hundred billion Canglan Coin is already a lot.

Ya Lin Luoxing looked at Su Yuan.

"Need not."

Su Yuan realized from the depths of his consciousness that Ya Lin Luoxing was not a suitable partner for him, and rejected the offer without hesitation.

"Five hundred billion isn't enough?" Ya Lin Luoxing's expression turned ugly, feeling that Su Yuan's appetite was too big. Five hundred billion Canglan Coin? That's enough to hire a Stellar Lifeform for a very long time.

"Eight hundred billion Canglan Coin." Ya Lin Luoxing spoke again, "Mr. Jing, you should know that the resources of an unknown, Desolate Star Domain are limited and cannot be mined indefinitely. Selling me that detailed star map now is the best choice."

"Eight hundred billion Canglan Coin? With your status in the Luoxing Family, can you come up with that?" Su Yuan laughed.

Through the Grey Mirror, Su Yuan saw through Ya Lin Luoxing's true nature.

"I have my own way." Ya Lin Luoxing panicked. He really couldn't come up with 800 billion Canglan Coin, but he could borrow the missing amount in installments.

"No."

Su Yuan shook his head.

The 800 billion Canglan Coin were indeed tempting, but cooperating with Ya Lin Luoxing would bring many troubles.

This is what Su Yuan didn't want to see. With the Grey Mirror, Su Yuan wasn't short of money, and the purpose of making money was for cultivation. In the time before the Stellar Lifeform, Su Yuan's wealth was already sufficient.

There's no need to take the risk of trading with Ya Lin Luoxing.

Buzz~ Su Yuan was too lazy to waste words with Ya Lin Luoxing, so he chose to leave the tavern and the world of exploration.

"Hmm?" Watching Su Yuan disappear before her eyes, Ya Lin Luoxing's lips twitched slightly, but there was nothing she could do.

He knew nothing about Su Yuan and felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

The Virtual Network World.

Personal space.

Su Yuan sat in the armchair.

Whoosh—a figure materialized in the distance.

It was Tega Chayun.

Ever since Su Yuan decided to support Tega Chayun to the position of patriarch of the Chiyun Family, he has frequently summoned him and instructed him to do things according to his orders.

"Mr. Ming."

Tega Chayun's expression was extremely solemn, even incredulous.

"Have you gathered all the intelligence I asked you to?" Su Yuan glanced at Tega Chayun and said casually.

"We've collected the information." Tega Chayun's expression was grave. "I never expected that Brother Teng Xing would actually dare to collude with the alien races."

The elder brother Teng Xing mentioned by Tega Chayun is the most promising candidate to become the patriarch of the Chiyun Family.

He is also the eldest son of the current head of the Chiyun Family, and the elder brother of Tega Chayun.

"For large Lineage and powerful forces, cooperating with other races in private is quite normal," Su Yuan said nonchalantly.

It was under his orders that Tega Chayun found evidence of Teng Xing Chayun's collusion with alien races.

"It's normal?" Tega Chayun fell silent.

Su Yuan was right. Of course, such things cannot be discussed openly, and Tega Chayun had not anticipated that Tengxing, with his elder brother's status in the Lineage, would actually collude with alien races.

What should I do now?

Tega Chayun couldn't help but ask.

"Submit this evidence to the Imperial Law Enforcement Department," Su Yuan said.

"Hand it over to the Imperial Law Enforcement Department?" Tega Chayun's expression changed slightly.

To reiterate, cooperation with other races is something that the various Lineage do in secret and must never be brought into the open.

Otherwise, the consequences will be dire.

To hand over evidence of Teng Xing Chayun's collusion with alien races to the Empire would be tantamount to overturning the table and putting Teng Xing Chayun to death.

"Only in this way will your elder brother be completely ineligible for the position of clan leader, and you will be able to take another step closer to it," Su Yuan said.

"But... is it really necessary to hand over the evidence to the Empire? Can't we hand it over to the Lineage and let the Lineage handle it?" Teng Xing Chayun said in a low voice.

In his view, handing the evidence over to the Lineage would be enough; the Lineage would punish Teng Xing Chayun, and the punishment for Teng Xing Chayun would be much lighter in cases involving internal Lineage matters.

"Hand it over to the Lineage?" Su Yuan smiled slightly. "Do you think your elder brother Teng Xing will lose his chance to compete for the clan leader position because of this?"

"Isn't that right?"

Tega Chayun was puzzled.

"Of course not." Su Yuan shook his head. "If we hand this evidence over to the Lineage, it will only make things worse and disappear altogether. Your father will do his best to protect Teng Xing Chayun."

"Will Father protect Brother Teng Xing?"

Tega Chayun was slightly taken aback.

I quickly figured out the reason.

Teng Xing Chayun is the successor that the current patriarch of the Chiyun Family has painstakingly cultivated.

It's his own son; if he can't protect his own son, should he let a member of another main branch inherit the position of clan leader?

"Colluding with other races is a grave crime. Once reported to the Empire, the Empire will definitely intervene personally. At the very least, Brother Teng Xing will be exiled to a remote star region, never to return to his Lineage. Is that right?"

Tega Chayun couldn't bear it.

When he was a child, his older brother Teng Xing often came to visit and keep him company.

The two have a very good relationship.

Su Yuan glanced at Tega Chayun, his tone flat and without any fluctuation, "The struggle for the throne has always been like this!"
