Liu Zixuan does seem to have some courage, but after all, Qin Si and the others are in high positions. They can't just abandon their basic principles because of a promising young man.

So, his tone turned cold, and those eyes that were originally full of warmth were now filled with questioning intent.

Among the ten influential figures, offending even one would land someone in a very dangerous position.

If you offend all ten at once... it's as if you're walking through the Ghost Gate!

Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan smiled meaningfully and said, "Offending one is death, offending ten is also death, so why not offend them all? That way, win or lose, there are no regrets!"

Saying this, he suddenly changed his tone, "Moreover, I don't think Master Qin Si is here to take my life!"

"Oh? How so?" Qin Si asked with curiosity.

"Very simple, the Celestial Capital knows Master Qin Si was originally a scholar, the only one among the ten influential figures who dislikes bloodshed, secondly, you came alone. If you really wanted to deal with me, you surely wouldn't act personally."

"Lastly... you mentioned two questions, two matters, but now you've only spoken about half. The remaining half must be the real reason Master Qin Si came to see me today!"

Liu Zixuan's words, full of deeper meaning, made Qin Si's expression change again, somewhat indescribable in words.

After a while, he suddenly laughed heartily, "A healer, indeed a miracle healer, not only can treat illnesses and save lives but also understands people's hearts!"

"Since the little miracle healer has said this much, there's no need for Qin to hide anymore. One question remains, one matter!"

Qin Si locked his gaze, his expression solemn as he said, "This matter depends on how the little miracle healer answers before I can speak!"

"Then ask away," Liu Zixuan shrugged.

"Decades ago in the Celestial Capital, forces arose everywhere, families spread out, varying in size. Over twenty years ago, a reshuffle from the Dragon Spirit left ten families, later summarized as ten influential figures!"

"Let's not mention the last ranked for now, the remaining nine gather once a year. For fifteen years, they stabilized the form of the Celestial Capital. It took another five years to secure their respective high grounds."

Qin Si laughed at this point, "But the world is ever-changing; even a balanced situation will be broken at some point by someone. Be it ten figures or nine bosses, none are eternal."

Qin Si is a clever man; he didn't speak too explicitly. It was more like narrating an event rather than posing a question.

Yet through this event, he posed the question.

He wanted to say, very simply, that the Celestial Capital seems calm on the surface but is actually turbulent underneath. Perhaps this is another prelude to a reshuffle. He was asking Liu Zixuan if he wanted to cooperate with him to overthrow the ten influential figures!

One must admit, this is yet another extremely ambitious person!

A learned man like Master Qin Si, to have such great ambition!

Liu Zixuan's lips twitched; Qin Si's thoughts were pretty much the same as Qu Jian's.

But he also had a doubt and asked, "Given the current situation, with the wealth and power you possess, you could easily live a few carefree generations in the Celestial Capital. Why still strive for supremacy?"

"They say a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier."

Qin Si shrugged slightly and smiled meaningfully, "Actually, over the years, others don't know, but so-called the ten influential figures have always been in constant friction, though it didn't escalate much."

"Adding your appearance, the rift among people has grown wider!"

"My appearance?" Liu Zixuan scratched his head, "Do I have such influence?"

Qin Si scoffed, "I didn't think you were that influential, but after talking with you and my own speculations, I sense you're stronger than I imagined!"

"For years, the only consensus among everyone was to put Old Dog Jin forward as a scapegoat, but you persistently broke everyone's consensus, overturned the results of five years of everyone's efforts!"

"Think about it, either you replace Old Dog Jin, or they make an example of you, kill one to warn a hundred, to defend their dignity. If you had to choose, which path would you take?"

Liu Zixuan smiled without hesitation, "Being your scapegoat is definitely impossible. If they want to kill me, I'll just accept it!"

"So, you have no choice, eh? Since you refuse to compromise, you can only resist, but you alone can't manage, right?" Qin Si remarked with a faint smile.

Liu Zixuan's eyes moved around, meaningfully asking, "Master Qin Si, are you suggesting I be your enforcer?"

"Don't misunderstand."

Qin Si said seriously, "I mean, we cooperate, you're in the open, I'm in the shadows. Although you'll suffer some, I'll help you secretly, keep you from being killed by them, while I maneuver in the dark, maybe we can wipe out the other families!"

"Once this empire is conquered, only one person can rule in the end, right?" Liu Zixuan didn't believe Qin Si could genuinely treat Liu Zixuan merely as a partner!

But this time, Liu Zixuan didn't directly refuse.

Frankly, the Qu family is not on the same level as Qin Si and them. Even with some trump cards, they still can't shake the whole situation.

But Qin Si is different; he's already one of the ten influential figures, and ranked high. His strength alone could crush the Qu family!

As Qin Si said, Liu Zixuan has no other paths. Since he doesn't choose to compromise, he must confront these ten figures!

One alone surely isn't enough strength. After all, in Liu Zixuan's plan, he intends to seize the Ghost Gate Needle from the top three sects.

This requires elevating his status and power to be on par with the top three sects!

Qin Si listened to Liu Zixuan's words and smiled slightly, "If this can be accomplished, the future will surely be divided into two. You take the West City, I take the East City, we advance side by side."

What a plan; everyone in the Star Sea knows how lucrative East City is. This guy explained clearly, placing himself in a position others can't argue against.

A flash of something crossed Liu Zixuan's eyes, then he smiled, "For such a major decision, I need some time to consider."

"Of course, it's a step between abyss and Heaven. It can't be rushed," Qin Si agreed with a smile, "But little miracle healer, one step to Heaven, indeed it's Heaven. At your age, if you become a boss of West City, your future is immensely promising!"
