After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

"What do you mean?"

Chu Lingxiao found that they seemed to have fallen into a dispute over the throne, and he was the one being used.

However, Shangguan Nana did not respond to his question, but looked at them with a pleading look.

"Since you already know part of the situation, could you do me a small favor? After that, you can ask for anything you want in Qianyao Country."

"It's just a small favor. It won't take up too much of your time."

"Since you are asking for our help, shouldn't you show some sincerity and tell us the whole story?"

Gu Qingze didn't care about what Shangguan Nana said because it didn't have any appeal, but he liked listening to stories, so he was curious about Shangguan Nana's original plan.

If his previous speculation was correct, then he would admire Shangguan Nana even more than her image in the original novel.

When Shangguan Nana heard what Gu Qingze said, her eyes lit up, it seemed like there was hope for this matter.

Even without their help, there is a high probability that I will succeed, but given what is involved, it would be great to have an extra layer of protection, because if I fail, my life will be in danger.

"Then I'll start with Chiyomon."

Shangguan Nana thought for a moment and then spoke.

"The Thousand Glory Beast is not an ordinary spirit beast, but a lucky beast. It relies on the power of all living things to cultivate. As long as all living things pray, the Thousand Glory Beast will provide them with help, and their cultivation will be improved."

"However, the way that Thousand Glory Beast helps others is quite special. It is not direct assistance, but indirect assistance. For example, if someone desires wealth, Thousand Glory Beast will not give it directly, but provide him with opportunities to earn wealth, allowing him to earn money through labor."

"The same goes for giving us seeds. Qianyaomon noticed that there was a problem with the seeds and the land here, so he gave us golden seeds. After planting them, we not only harvested food, but also improved the land."

The light in Shangguan Nana's eyes suddenly disappeared in the middle of her story.

"Glorious Beast thought the matter had been resolved, so he planned to go to the next place where he was needed. However, he was imprisoned by the greedy royal family at that time. They wanted to completely possess him, make him serve only them, and announce to the outside world that Glorious Beast had left."

"They are all ordinary people, how can they imprison a spiritual beast?"

Gu Qingze asked in confusion when he heard this.

"Indeed, if it were an ordinary spirit beast, it would certainly be impossible to imprison it, but the Thousand Glory Beast is a auspicious beast, transformed from the essence of heaven and earth. It will only help all things, but will not harm them..."

Shangguan Nana's tone was slightly sad.

"Although the royal family imprisoned Thousand Glory Beast, it did not surrender. It never responded to the royal family's greed. So, relying on the fact that Thousand Glory Beast would not harm them, they subjected it to all kinds of horrific torture, just to make it surrender."

"However, nothing could be done, so the royal family came up with an evil idea."

When Shangguan Nana said this, her throat seemed to be dry and she took another sip of tea.

"They think that this Thousand Glory Beast is disobedient because it has seen the outside world. If they use it to breed a new Thousand Glory Beast and let it live here from childhood, wouldn't it become a tool for them to use?"

Chu Lingxiao's face turned a little ugly when he heard this. Because of his interest, he had studied spirit beasts more than Qingze. Although he had never heard of the Thousand Glory Beast, he still knew what the auspicious beast was.

Each auspicious beast has a different appearance, and they are created by heaven and earth. They have no father or mother. If you must say, heaven and earth are their parents, and it is ridiculous to want to breed them artificially.

Shangguan Nana seemed to have guessed Chu Lingxiao's thoughts and said helplessly.

"You know what auspicious beasts are, but ordinary people don't know so many inside stories, so until my father's generation, the artificial breeding experiment continued."

"Then they at least know that in order to breed, they must find two identical Chien-Shiningmon of different genders."

Chu Lingxiao couldn't believe that such an outrageous experiment had continued until now.

"Maybe he knows..."

Shangguan Nana frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"But the royal family may have already done whatever it takes to fulfill their greed. They may be hoping for a lucky break, thinking that there will always be a spirit beast that can successfully breed with the Thousand Glory Beast, or they may simply be venting their anger at the Thousand Glory Beast for not helping them."

Chu Lingxiao's face became increasingly serious as he realized that the seriousness of the matter was far beyond their imagination.

"After so many years, don't they have any sense of guilt or reflection?"

Shangguan Nana smiled bitterly and shook her head. "Driven by greed and power, they have lost their original intentions. Moreover, not all auspicious beasts help people indirectly. Some can directly realize people's wishes. I guess this is why they want to breed an obedient Qianyaomon so much."

Gu Qingze interrupted, "So, since breeding the Thousand Glory Beast has become the obsession of the royal family, why does your father want to use the power of our Qingyun Sect to kill it?"

His question hit the nail on the head. Shangguan Nana was silent for a while and did not directly answer his question. Instead, she started telling her story.

"Because I am a girl, my father never loved me since I was young, and my mother only wanted to give birth to a son and had no time to take care of me. There is one thing I said before that I did not lie, that is, I am against having children."

"The first time I saw Thousand Brilliance Beast was when I was six years old. At that time, I was playing around and accidentally strayed into a strange place. Probably because Thousand Brilliance Beast never resisted or ran away, there was no one guarding it."

"When I saw it that time, it was covered in wounds. Its body was covered with scars from various torture instruments, and its eyes were full of pain and despair."

Shangguan Nana's voice trembled a little, as if she was recalling that terrible experience.

"Since then, I've often sneaked in to visit him, and he slowly let down his guard towards me, and a special bond has been established between us."

Shangguan Nana paused for a moment when she said this, and took out a pitch-black stone from her sleeve.

"We communicated through this stone. If it weren't for it, I might never have dared to rebel against my dear father. It was this stone that told me to go out more and not be limited to this small country... It was also this stone that told me to help others as much as possible."

"This country is in a terrible state. The royal family is full of rubbish and the common people can only barely make ends meet. I want to change the status quo and Chiyomon wants freedom."

"So you decided to work with Chiyomon to overthrow the current royal family?"

Chu Lingxiao quickly understood Shangguan Nana's intention.

"That's right, including my father's request for help from Qingyun Sect, everything is within the plan of Qianyao Beast and me."
