Transmigration: Reverse Exploitation, the System Works for Me

After leaving Dali, Xi Qiao made a special detour to Suzhou.

He had originally planned to rob the rich to help the poor and generate some energy for his useless little system, but after waiting for Murong Xing all day, he didn't hear him say a single word to the martial arts system.

No way, were you too harsh on them last time?

Does this save power during system standby?

Xi Qiao felt a pang of self-reproach; he should have known better than to be so greedy.

That evening, after Murong Xing fell asleep, Xi Qiao quietly sneaked into the room, pressed his pressure point to put him to sleep, and then pulled the main body of the martial arts system out of his sea of ​​consciousness once again.

The originally milky white, soft light now resembled a dim, decaying light bulb, its surface dull and tinged with a faint black.

Oh... it's really in standby mode?

Xi Qiao reluctantly released the shackles of the martial arts system, released Murong Xing's pressure points, and flew away.

Devouring the martial arts system should also give the useless system a boost of energy.

But the story hasn't even started yet, right? Maybe the martial arts system will be able to be activated once the story begins.

Since there are no royal family members left to participate in the lottery, it's better to wait.

After leaving Suzhou, Xi Qiao headed straight for Kaifeng.

For the past two months, Feng Sheng has been activating the demonic seed every day without fail. The fact that he is contacting her so urgently suggests that Liuhe Temple has received someone of extraordinary status.

Xi Qiao traveled day and night and arrived in Kaifeng in just a few days.

Upon reaching within a kilometer of the Liuhe Temple, her divine sense connected with the demonic seed, and she instantly learned the cause and effect of Feng Sheng's search for her.

The current emperor's eldest son, Crown Prince Huan, personally visited the Liuhe Temple to pay his respects.

At the beginning of summer, Yao Shan sent a batch of medicinal materials for refining Bigu pills to Liuhe Temple. One reason was to thank Liuhe Temple for the pill formula, and the other was to inquire whether there were any other miraculous pills with other effects.

Feng Sheng only said that he knew of the Bigu Pill, and then, as instructed by Xi Qiao, invited him to stay for a meal, treating him to the unique vegetarian feast of Liuhe Temple: a sweet potato banquet.

Then, naturally, I told him about the benefits of sweet potatoes and gave him a sack of them.

A month later, in mid-May, King Huan personally visited the temple and also enjoyed a sweet potato feast. After carefully inquiring about the planting methods and precautions for sweet potatoes, he purchased 50% of the sweet potatoes and sweet potato products from the temple at a high price.

Xi Qiao was not surprised by the arrival of King Huan, but it came earlier than she had expected.

This Prince Huan is a man of great vision and a lover of the people who cherish talent. Knowing that sweet potatoes, a crop that benefits the country and its people, originated from Liuhe Temple, he will surely come to visit.

However, the only people who came were Yao Shan, King Huan, and King Huan's entourage.

Has Yao Shan already pledged allegiance to Prince Huan?

The thought only crossed Xi Qiao's mind once before she dismissed it. It didn't matter; as long as she could lure King Huan here, that was all that mattered.

Once inside the temple, she summoned Feng Sheng and gave him the sandalwood pipa she had bought in Luoyang, the most fashionable fabrics she had bought in Jiangnan, and a small box of gold bars, instructing him to go down the mountain and deliver them to Yun Fu.

Then he went into seclusion in the back courtyard of Liuhe Temple.

Feng Sheng stared at the table full of food, momentarily stunned. There were so many things in the temple that needed his decision!

He watched Xi Qiao's retreating figure and wailed loudly:

"Senior brother, wait a minute! That Lord Yao wants our temple to help him refine the Bigu Pill, and what should we do with the land deeds and field deeds that Prince Huan gave us?"

Although he knew his senior brother was female, he naturally addressed her as she instructed.

Although he could refine the Bigu Pill, his meager skills were nowhere near those of his senior brother.

Using the same medicinal materials, the Bigu Pill he refined only had 70% of the medicinal effect, while the one made by Lord Yao was even worse, with only 50% efficacy.

But Lord Yao asked them to refine pills not for his seven-tenths of the recipe, but for the perfect one that his senior brother had personally refined!

There was also the visiting card from King Huan, along with the land deeds and other things he was sending. He couldn't make up his mind!

Hearing Feng Sheng's loud voice, Xi Qiao paused, turned around and looked at him, saying:

"I brought you back so that you could work for the Liuhe Temple. If I have to handle all these trivial matters, what use are you?"

Feng Sheng choked up. Yes, he understood his responsibility from the beginning, but...

"Senior brother, this matter concerns the royal family. Although wealth and glory are easily obtained, they are also extremely dangerous. I want a clear answer from you: what is your attitude towards that Prince Huan? I need to know how to handle the situation."

The struggle for imperial power was brutal, and the Liuhe Temple, being powerless and without influence, was too easily made cannon fodder!

Although he didn't want to get involved, his senior brother seemed to have a very lenient and friendly attitude towards the officials.

He was truly in a dilemma, neither daring to get too close nor too far away.

If it only involved himself, then it would be fine; he could just do what maximized his own interests.

But he also has his senior brother and the Liuhe Temple behind him. If he implicates his senior brother and the temple, he will be guilty even if he dies.

Xi Qiao raised his eyebrows: "You only need to remember that for the greater good of the world, even the Six Harmonies Temple can be destroyed."

Although she had long intended to use King Huan to gain merit, actively getting close to him would inevitably lead to her being restrained and driven by him.

It would be better to stand on the moral high ground from the beginning and pretend to be selfless and have the world in mind.

Feng Sheng's expression changed drastically; this...

When he came to his senses, there was no one left in the courtyard. He slowly sat down at the stone table piled with things and tried to sort out his somewhat chaotic thoughts.

To sacrifice the concept of harmony for the greater good of the world?

Senior brother has such a selfless thought?

Feng Sheng glanced hesitantly toward the backyard. This shouldn't be the case; his intuition told him that his senior brother wasn't such a brainless person.

Could it be that Senior Brother has taken a liking to this Prince Huan and wants to establish a good relationship with him in advance?

Thinking of this, Feng Sheng raised an eyebrow and immediately understood.

If my senior brother truly cared about the world, he would have already presented sweet potatoes to the emperor long ago. Why would he wait for Yao Shan to appear before taking any action?

I fear this is a hook to lure King Huan.

A smile spread across Feng Sheng's lips.

Then, he got up, carried the things on the stone table back to his room, packed them up, and then packed a few changes of clothes before going down the mountain.
