Whoever controls the sequence stands at the top.

This is no different from the idea that truth only exists within the range of cannon fire.

The fact that one's sequence strength far exceeds that of ordinary people does indeed affect the balance.

Humans have not studied genetic evolution for a very long time, and in just a few decades of development, it is difficult to handle various unexpected events.

The riots in the Scarlet Alliance State were not an isolated case, nor were they the only Scarlet Alliance State experiencing internal strife. For example, Chimon Haig, the Alliance Speaker of the Aomeijia Alliance, was ousted from power, while the British Alliance State was almost completely overthrown.

How to handle contradictions in the process of continuous development is a problem that needs to be addressed in the long term.

Western Capital City cannot maintain its hierarchical advantage forever, and people will experience birth, aging, illness, and death from generation to generation; unforeseen events are impossible to prevent.

In the past, Chang Kongluo and others could stabilize the situation by relying on their absolute power in the sequence, but the second Sequence Committee did not have such power and could only rely on Chang Kongyinghao and others to barely maintain the situation.

Once Chang Kongyinghao and others were severely injured, the Sequence Committee was immediately weakened.

As for the present situation, the current provisional Sequence Committee is utterly incompetent.

The ultimate problem with these numerous contradictions is that the Sequence Committee lacks the strong power to exert pressure, thus it has to seek other solutions for buffering and adjustment.

Ren Yisheng was also troubled by this situation, feeling that it was extremely difficult to coordinate and resolve it smoothly.

"Let's brainstorm, what methods do you think we can use?" Ren Yisheng asked, tilting his head slightly.

"I can't solve this problem," Zhang Xuezhou waved his hands repeatedly. "Nobody has the ability to babysit the Sequence Committee and keep it going. Even if there's no Sixth Sequence member, there's still Fifth Sequence member. If the committee itself isn't strong, there's nothing we can do!"

That makes sense!

Ren Yisheng nodded.

The current Sequence Committee is like a martial arts alliance in Zhang Weimeng's novels; only those who possess the ability to suppress all heroes in the world will not be challenged, otherwise, no one can guarantee that others will not have designs on them.

It doesn't matter who is the strongest of the second or third generation, or who is some young prodigy; it's all irrelevant.

This is not an occasion to compete with peers, but rather a gathering of people from all age groups.

Even if latecomers have more advantages, the cumulative effect of time cannot be ignored, and it is not something that young people can catch up with in a short period of time.

And luck plays a part too; breaking through the encirclement is extremely difficult.

"What about the matter at the old mansion?" Ren Yisheng asked in a low voice, "Just tell me. If you don't want to show your face, I will!"

"This matter isn't difficult to resolve," Zhang Xuezhou said after some thought. "One old mansion is easy to take over, but three or four old mansions won't be so easy to breach. The deterrent effect of these veteran committee members will still exist, even if someone leaks the information!"

"Young people's minds are just so sharp!"

Zhang Xuezhou's suggestion is a completely reverse way of thinking.

Normal thinking still involves considering how to quell the two generals who once commanded troops in the southwest and southeast, while also boosting the overall strength of the Sequence Committee and appeasing the many aging committee members who have moved into their retirement homes.

Many of these problems ultimately point to people.

But Zhang Xuezhou's intention was to rebuild the old mansion for the elderly.

As long as one elderly residence remains untouched by problems, this deterrent effect will persist, making people hesitant to act rashly.

Without the ability to conquer several elderly people's mansions in different locations at once, some people, even if they have ideas, will not act rashly.

It's just a simple change, but the effect is very practical.

The existence of live streaming networks also allows many elderly high- Sequence Holder to maintain relatively smooth communication, and they are not affected by being separated.

This prompted Ren Yisheng to give a thumbs-up.

Zhang Xuezhou's suggestion did not completely solve the problem, but it undoubtedly had the effect of delaying the issue.

This delay is beneficial to the growth of the Western Capital City Sequence Committee, and it also allows many aging committee members to no longer worry about being wiped out as before. It can also have a certain deterrent effect on cities outside the province.

While its offensive strategies are insufficient, they are more than adequate for defense.

As for what happens next, that depends on how each person develops.

This suggestion not only aligns with the interests of many people, but also meets Ren Yisheng's needs.

He was also waiting for Ren Anran and others to grow up and enter the Sequence Committee, which required giving Ren Anran some time.

"The real problem is the inside man," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Who's giving Zhang Qiaoen the information is the most troublesome thing!"

"This matter can't be investigated further," Ren Yisheng shook his head and said, "The first thing to look for when investigating the inside man is your mother's case; that's the most direct and obvious clue!"

"I really want to investigate Zuo Quan Zuo Teng suggested," Zhang Xuezhou said. "It seems this is more troublesome than I imagined!"

"Zuo Teng wants to investigate his own father?" Ren Yisheng asked curiously.

"Zuo Teng told me the day before yesterday that his father might be in contact with other cities in the province to plot a rebellion," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I just didn't expect things to progress so quickly; I couldn't keep up at all!"

"He only said it was very likely; it seems there's no concrete evidence," Ren Yisheng said. "If we really investigate Zuo Teng's idea, I'm afraid we'll get ourselves into trouble!"

"Then Zuo Teng will have to investigate himself until he finds conclusive evidence," Zhang Xuezhou said.

Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Yisheng discussed it in private. After Ren Yisheng made up his mind to seek opinions in the live broadcast room, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but send a message to Zuo Teng as well.

He hoped Zuo Teng would play it safe and not jump out now without solid evidence, at least until the window of opportunity presented by the riot had passed, so as not to drag the Zhang Household into it and make them scapegoats.

"Good!"

Zuo Teng replied very quickly, giving a definitive answer almost immediately after Zhang Xuezhou sent the message.

"Now you should believe me, right?" Zuo Teng replied via text message.

"When have I ever not trusted you?" Zhang Xuezhou replied. "I trust you completely!"

"I'm a native of Western Capital City, and my sensitivity in this area is definitely beyond that of my peers. You can give me a chance in the future," Zuo Teng replied.

"What opportunity? Zuo Teng, have you taken the wrong medicine today?"

You probably don't understand your own energy!

Zuo Teng looked at the seating arrangement.

Those people were all from Ren Yisheng's faction, and they were bound to be on good terms with Zhang Xuezhou.

The vacant seats in the Changkong Household and Zhou Household families seem to be inextricably linked to Zhang Xuezhou.

This involves the complex relationship between the former committee members of the twilight mansion and Ren Yisheng, and Zhang Xuezhou also seems to be involved.

Zuo Teng's strength lies among young people, but Zhang Xuezhou's influence has reached across three generations: the elderly, middle-aged, and young.

Zuo Teng didn't know how Zhang Xuezhou had built this connection, but he had gone from being the one with the information advantage to the one who was behind, and many things were difficult for him to get involved in, even if he wanted to.

Without Zuo Quan's protection, his current situation is even more of a mess.

If he had to find someone to turn to for help, Zuo Teng considered his options carefully and concluded that Zhang Xuezhou was actually the most suitable person.
