Chapter Summary
But if we were to handle this matter, I'm afraid the two of us wouldn't be able to handle it. Although the humans in our city are not as good as those here, it's enough for you to make your mark." Zhao Wudi chuckled and said, "Actually, this is quite possible. Don't you know what you're made of?" Zhao Wudi's words were also a way of revealing a message to Liu Ning: in the upcoming power transition, Zhao Wudi would definitely become the city lord, and Liu Ning would definitely take Zhao Wudi's pl...
"Actually, you also have this opportunity. You're already in a high position. When I was your age, I didn't have this situation at all. If I were in this situation, I would definitely do better than you. Actually, we're the same kind of people. When we look at others, we always think things are simple. But if we were to handle this matter, I'm afraid the two of us wouldn't be able to handle it. So, on this issue, I hope we can handle it well and learn from others in the future. Even if we don't learn very well, we should try to be better than we are now. You should also understand the current situation. If we can do better, it will be quite good for us. In our current situation, others are watching us when we do these things. After you return from the ancient ruins, you will be able to take on a higher position of power. If you want to learn from my master, you definitely have the conditions. Although the humans in our city are not as good as those here, it's enough for you to make your mark."
Zhao Wudi chuckled and said, "Actually, this is quite possible. The city lord of Liu Ning's city is already quite old; retirement is only a matter of time. He's just currently looking for a better position. Having been city lord his whole life, he probably won't relinquish his power unless a better position comes along. Once that guy gives up his power, Zhao Wudi will definitely be able to take over. Zhao Wudi's position will be handed over to Liu Ning. Of course, it's impossible for Liu Ning to become the city lord directly, mainly because Liu Ning is too old. If we're talking about Liu Ning's current abilities, there's absolutely no problem. So, no one around him will say anything. If Liu Ning really gets to Zhao Wudi's position, managing the city will be a piece of cake for him. Would Zhao Wudi stop him? It's just that Liu Ning knows he doesn't have that ability. If he were really allowed to manage the city, he might as well just kill the man. Can't you see the situation now? Don't you know what you're made of?"
Zhao Wudi's words were also a way of revealing a message to Liu Ning: in the upcoming power transition, Zhao Wudi would definitely become the city lord, and Liu Ning would definitely take Zhao Wudi's place. At first, Liu Ning didn't quite grasp the implications, but he quickly understood. Zhao Wudi wasn't just giving him a heads-up; he was telling him what the city's future would look like. The Speaker had mentioned the city briefly during their conversation, but Liu Ning's political awareness was practically zero, and he didn't understand. It seemed Zhao Wudi understood, after all, the master and disciple had discussed this countless times. Although they outwardly appeared uninterested in these matters, they had to push Zhao Wudi to a higher position for their own advancement. Zhao Wudi could easily obtain a position in the central base, but without experience in local areas, he wouldn't be able to thrive in the capital. Many would say he had no ability, so this experience had to be preserved.
"My goodness, I didn't understand at first, but now I'm starting to get a clue. So you've finished discussing everything. If the city lord is going to retire, he needs a suitable position. What kind of position did you give him? And his youngest son, always jumping around trying to get some benefits. If we don't give him some benefits, I'm afraid this handover won't go smoothly. Although we are strong enough, the city lord has helped me a bit when I encountered some problems in the past, and he has treated the city quite well. If we can give them a good position, I hope you can do a good job. After all, we fought together before. I know he's not one of us, but there's no need to go too far. We can't force him to give up his position. If we do that, the old guards will feel disheartened."
Seeing Liu Ning's attitude, Zhao Wuji was very satisfied. If it were someone else, they probably would have acted differently. With such a benefit waiting for them, it would be foolish not to seize it. Of course, they would rush in. However, Liu Ning didn't have such thoughts. She valued the friendship between them. Someone who cherishes friendship so much would never forget her old friends, even if she offended someone in the highest position. In fact, Liu Ning is like that now. People like Sun Qiang have long since fallen behind Liu Ning, but she hasn't cut off contact with them. On the contrary, she often interacts with them and even provides them with some help. The highest level is observing all of this. They are afraid that Liu Ning will become selfish after becoming stronger, such as establishing her own family, which would bring huge losses to humanity instead of contributing to the world.
"Don't worry about this. We've already discussed it. For example, his youngest son. Of course, we'll give him a good position, at least a seat as a city councilor. His father gave up the position of city lord. After I go, you'll take my place. So, you'll have to give up your seat as a councilor. It's like a succession. But that's all we can do. I really hate this kind of political deal, but that's how things are in this environment. If there were no deals in politics, this matter probably wouldn't be possible. That's why when we do these things, we have to conform to the laws of social development. If we don't conform to these laws of social development, we can't accomplish this. So, after we put him on the city council, the rest is up to him. If he's capable, he can continue to rise. If he's not, then this is his end."
