"He's doing this just to strengthen the Situ Family's position, ideally to counterbalance you, Emperor," the subordinate replied respectfully. Even though the Emperor had asked him directly, he still needed to be cautious with his words.
"Situ Yuan's audacity is truly growing. Has he forgotten how the Qiutang Clan ended up back then?" The Emperor sighed. He was reluctant to resort to such measures unless absolutely necessary, as internal conflict was the most depleting. If Xingluo were to weaken, how would that benefit him?
However, in such matters, even as the Emperor, there was nothing he could do. What had to be done, he must do, for in Xingluo, any family threatening the Emperor's status had to be uprooted.
"Emperor, it's just a Fate Fruit, after all. The Situ Family wants to cultivate a Primordial Master, but that's not going to be easy. There's no need to worry," the subordinate comforted.
