How would Chen Yunfan choose?
Chen Yi didn't calculate it carefully; there were only two possible outcomes.
Either he would take the evidence of the Capital Commandery's Zhu Hao's crimes and report it to the Imperial Court in exchange for a meteoric rise in his career. Or he would turn a blind eye and remain an Imperial Top Scholar who treated power and influence like dirt.
Regardless of the outcome, Chen Yi could accept it.
It just meant he would have to work a little harder in the future—if Chen Yunfan became the blade the Imperial Court swung at the Xiao Family, then Chen Yi would simply cut down the one wielding that blade.
As for who that person might be... Chen Yi had his guesses. It was none other than the White Tiger Guard Pavilion Master, the Jiangnan Prefecture Chen Family, or perhaps the Holy Emperor seated upon the throne.
Fortunately, there was still time, and he was still in Shu State.
