To be honest, when Ye Qingcang revealed the list of core members, Mo Ya could not help but freeze for a moment as he processed the fact.
In his imagination.
Or rather, according to Straw Coat Guest's analysis and deductions.
Quicksand's membership should not have been structured like this.
First was Zhang Liang.
As Zhang Kaidi's grandson.
And the future head of Han Kingdom's civil officials.
By both sentiment and reason, he should have received the status of a core member. Even Fourth Young Master Han Yu, who appeared most likely to contend for the throne, hoped Zhang Liang would work under him.

That was the confidence of five generations of Zhang Clan members serving as Han Kingdom's chancellors.
Of course.
Things had not developed to that point yet.
At present, it was only three generations serving as Han Kingdom's chancellors.
But that was already terrifying enough.
Their advantage in prestige was simply not something a nouveau riche like Ji Wuye could compare to. Even Bai Yifei was somewhat inferior in terms of background.
Therefore, even if he joined Han Yu's faction.
