Gongsun Qi spoke with such certainty and nonchalance that people couldn't help believing he was right.
After a brief moment of surprise, Han Ziyang asked, "What do you know?"
Instead, Gongsun Qi asked, "You awakened the Legalism Heavenly Punishment Bloodline. What does Nangong Ming want you to do?"
"Break the Six Nations Non-War Covenant." Han Ziyang answered readily. "I think the Non-War Covenant should be broken. At least then, the six nations' conflicts would become more aboveboard."
Gongsun Qi fell silent for a moment, then said, "To break the Non-War Covenant, don't you just need to gather the Futuo Tower Fragments?"
Yu Sui also fixed her gaze on Han Ziyang, waiting for his answer.
"After the covenant is lifted, new rules will need to be established," Han Ziyang said. "The prince needs me to quickly quell the immense chaos after the Six Nations Non-War Covenant is lifted, so that a new world can emerge from stability."
Gongsun Qi's expression didn't shift. "Quite the ambition."
"You agreed?" Yu Sui asked.
Han Ziyang looked up at Yu Sui. "Of course I couldn't agree right away. I had to keep him dangling."
Yu Sui added, "If you agree to help him, Qingyang will swallow Yan first. Didn't you say the clan head used to be Yan's prime minister?"
Han Ziyang replied, "After a long separation, the world must unite. Once the Non-War Covenant is lifted, the six nations will become one."
Gongsun Qi asked, "So you don't care who ultimately wins, as long as the world is united?"
Han Ziyang rolled his eyes. "Are you asking me to help Yan?"
Yu Sui raised a hand. "I didn't say that."
"I will never allow it to be Qingyang," Gongsun Qi said. "If you're on Qingyang's side, I'll come to the prince's mansion right now."
