[Mo Dao Zu Shi Fanfiction] I Raise A Ying in Yiling

No matter how much Wei Chaoyan hated her cousin Wei Feng for revealing her secrets, it was all in vain. What could Wei Chaoyan do? She could only put on a thick face and pretend she knew nothing, and continue discussing with Liu Yu.

"So, in Sister Liu's opinion, what should I do now?" Wei Chaoyan asked impatiently, trying to change the subject.

Liu Yu readily cooperated with Wei Chaoyan's subtle actions, and continued, "With the help of the country and organizations, it's not too difficult for you to achieve these things. It's just that it will take a long time and effort. However, the most troublesome thing in this process is the many immortal sects and families, rogue cultivators who currently hold absolute power in the demonic world, as well as the court and the officials, families, landlords and powerful figures scattered throughout the country who are secretly lurking and watching."

Liu Yu emphasized each word of his last sentence. Hearing Liu Yu mention the immortal sects and families, Wei Chaoyan nodded vigorously in agreement. Hearing about the rogue cultivator, Wei Chaoyan was somewhat puzzled, but she didn't ask and patiently listened. However, after hearing Liu Yu's last sentence, Wei Chaoyan became restless.

Full of questions, she asked Liu Yu, "Sister Liu, I agree that the immortal sects and aristocratic families are the biggest obstacle to our reforms. After all, our actions are meant to remove them from their current positions of power and completely strip them of their privileges of being above everyone else and doing whatever they want. I would find it strange if they didn't fight back fiercely. But why are the rogue cultivators and the imperial court also becoming obstacles? This is clearly something that benefits them too!"

"Because even though they appear pitiful and bullied while in power in the immortal sects and aristocratic families, they are actually exploiters to the common people of the demonic world, just not as obviously as the immortal sects and aristocratic families."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that the mortal forces, led by the imperial court, are secretly eyeing the immortal sects and aristocratic families, and assume they are our allies. They want to overthrow the immortal sects and seize power for themselves. Our upcoming reforms will completely shake their foundations, shatter their dreams of absolute dominance, and leave them wondering whether they will help us once they learn our true intentions, or join forces with the immortal sects to turn against us."

Liu Yu spoke the truth so clearly that Wei Chaoyan couldn't pretend to be confused or not understand. However, once she realized that even the mortal court would be their enemy, she was still a little sad. After all, she and Lady Yan had some relationship, and she couldn't forget or deny Lady Yan's kindness to her in the matter of Wei Ying.

But let's be honest, once their reforms begin, setting aside the aristocratic immortal sects whose interests are harmed, will the mortal court forces, whose rule is also threatened, truly not resist? Impossible. Just think about how much blood was shed and how many people were sacrificed during China's initial reforms? The majority of those were former court officials, powerful families, wealthy merchants, and local gentry!

Even if their reforms were not as extensive and thorough as those in modern China due to global differences, one can understand this by considering how devastating the famous reforms in history were. In the eyes of vested interests, regardless of size, anyone or any force that could potentially shake their existing rule or deprive them of their privileges is their mortal enemy. Regardless of whether the other party's actions are beneficial to the people or the development of the world, they will try every means to destroy the other party's actions and forces.

Having clearly understood this, Wei Chaoyan was somewhat saddened at this moment, but she still asked Liu Yu directly what to do next without any hesitation.

"Now that we've identified our future enemy, we need to consider how to keep our actions hidden from them and develop our power structure without alerting them. When our power is strong enough to control everything, we won't have to work so hard anymore. After all, by then the situation will be set and the outcome will be decided, and no matter how much they struggle or resist, it will be useless."

Hearing Liu Yu's calm and composed words, Wei Chaoyan felt her heart surge and her blood boil. She couldn't help but clench her fist and ask, "Then, Sister Liu, what should we do now?"

Liu Yu said inscrutablely, "You? You're not going to do anything."

"Huh?" Wei Chaoyan was extremely disappointed.

"All you need to do now is make a fortune. As for how to fully leverage your butterfly effect to cause changes in the world and the competition and clashes between various forces, that's our business. You just need to follow our instructions." Liu Yu said with a smile, looking at Wei Chaoyan's enthusiastic expression.

Hearing Liu Yu's words and realizing that she really wasn't cut out for it, Wei Chaoyan instantly wilted like a dehydrated cabbage, and said weakly, "Oh, I see. So what should I do now?"

"Given your current situation, the most important thing you should do right now is to farm and get rich."

"Farming? Getting rich?" Wei Chaoyan's voice was even weaker. She couldn't believe that she, a genuine peasant girl from Wei Village, had never worked in the fields before. Now, thanks to the powerful motherland, she actually had to work in the fields? Heaven has betrayed me!
