To understand the current situation, Ye Ningze was the biggest culprit, so Su Xue had to share some of the benefits with him.
Even if he was unwilling, he had to understand one principle: without Ye Ningze's opportunistic move this time.
Then there would be no redrawing of the power structure of the Sun Base. After all, although the Su family was also powerful, they stood no chance against the Song family.
The Song family had been ambitious for years, a fact everyone could see.
Moreover, the Song family did not participate in the opening of this secret realm, which indicated that they no longer regarded such secret realms as important.
If this were truly the case, the Song family's power would be beyond description.
Compared to them, the Feng family and the Wu family were secondary. Instead, Ye Ningze seemed to be a better partner or ally for the Su family.
Su Xue was perfectly aware of this, which was why she was willing to hand over some of her authority to Ye Ningze.
The purpose was to forge a connection, a small but significant favor.
It had to be said that Su Xue was far better at judging people than the other members of the Su family.
The other members of the Su family always thought they were direct descendants, hence their arrogance.
They never took anyone else seriously, so how could they identify and utilize talent?
In comparison, this young lady of the Su family possessed a more keen intuition than them.
Ye Ningze smiled and nodded, then said to Su Xue opposite him:
"Please help me sell these things. You can keep the proceeds as your commission for selling them."
When Su Xue heard this, she nodded slightly. She knew that Ye Ningze would face some inconvenience if he tried to sell these items himself.
Furthermore, these items were not easy to sell. After all, those who could afford them were no ordinary people.
If they decided to betray him, Ye Ningze, without sufficient power to guarantee his safety, would easily fall victim to such a scheme.
Of course, if Ye Ningze had the ability to reclaim them, it would also be a troublesome affair, potentially stirring up a storm of bloodshed.
It was better to hand them over to the Su family and let them sell them through their special channels, which would provide Ye Ningze with significant assurance.
As for the ten percent commission, this was a price Ye Ningze would pay no matter where he went, and he was well aware that it was unavoidable.
Moreover, this arrangement benefited both parties, so why not?
After Ye Ningze left, Su Mingrui emerged from behind. He looked at Ye Ningze's departing back, somewhat bewildered. He realized how foolish he had been.
He never expected that Ye Ningze, with just a few subtle maneuvers, could cause the Feng and Wu families to suffer mutual losses, thereby reaping such immense benefits.
From this alone, Ye Ningze was a terrifying individual. He then said to Su Xue beside him:
"Xue'er, you were right about him. This person is truly too formidable. From now on, he can only be a friend, never an enemy."
Su Mingrui finally understood how foolish his actions that day had been. He only wanted to protect himself but forgot that sometimes, one's stance is more important than one's methods.
This was also the true reason why the patriarch had always felt he was not to be entrusted with important tasks over the years.
Because whenever a situation arose, he would personally choose to retreat, never considering to push forward and resolve the difficulties.
This was also why the patriarch had been targeted by the Supreme Elder all these years.
Su Xue did not feel flattered by Su Mingrui's words. Instead, she said to Su Mingrui with a solemn expression:
"Uncle, rest assured. From now on, my relationship with him will only grow closer. There will be no disdain between us. However, there may be times when I need to employ certain methods. I hope you can understand."
Su Mingrui naturally knew what "certain methods" referred to. He was surprised that Su Xue, who had always disliked using marriage or physical relationships to gain benefits, was now willing to use these very things to solidify a relationship with someone.
This could only mean that this person had captured Su Xue's heart, and it was also a good thing for Su Xue.
It was much better than Su Xue marrying someone she did not love. Su Mingrui did not voice this thought, but his eyes were filled with a smile.
After all, Su Mingrui was Su Xue's uncle, and he naturally wished for his niece to find happiness.
Therefore, he hoped his niece would marry someone she loved.
So Su Mingrui said to Su Xue:
"Don't worry, I will definitely support you in this matter. Even if your father opposes it, I will stand by your side and help you persuade him."
Su Mingrui's change in attitude on this matter was so significant that it made Su Xue extremely happy.
However, another problem arose: how would they achieve victory in this battle?
Su Xue's father was an extremely stubborn person, and persuading him would be a difficult task.
If he disagreed, it would be very hard to sway him. Therefore, they first needed to plant a seed in his mind: that Ye Ningze was no ordinary person.
Only then could their possibilities grow from nothing...
When Ye Ningze returned to his base camp, Liu Qichao and the others were utterly stunned. Upon seeing Ye Ningze, they erupted in cheers.
Although Liu Qichao did not know how Ye Ningze had accomplished all this, he was certain that the withdrawal of the Feng and Wu families was directly related to Ye Ningze.
Liu Qichao desperately wanted to ask how Ye Ningze had achieved this, but he knew that the presence of many people made it an unsuitable time to ask such a question. Thus, Liu Qichao could only suppress his astonishment for the moment.
The people present, upon learning of the departure of the Wu and Feng families, also realized what this meant: it meant they would have more opportunities, especially when the central area opened.
If they managed to obtain good things within, they might achieve significant advancements and gain renown within the base.
Ye Ningze looked at the people before him and then declared loudly:
"Congratulations, everyone. From today onwards, you will officially have a great opportunity."
