Chen Yunfan. Was it him? Undoubtedly. On the chessboard in Chen Yi's mind, the white piece representing Chen Yunfan sat squarely in the courtyard of the bottom left corner.
In that corner of the game representing Shu State, Chen Yunfan was the undisputed protagonist. If Chen Yi had not been there, and if Liu Hong's schemes had succeeded, what would the situation in Shu State look like now?
Due to Xiao Jinghong's relationship with Immortal Bai and Li Wudang, the Xiao Family might not have completely perished, but losing power in both Shu State and the Imperial Court would have been almost a certainty. If Liu Hong's schemes had succeeded, Shu State would have plunged into chaos.
The Imperial Court would dispatch troops to suppress it, and Chen Yunfan would have seized the opportunity to rise up and quell the rebellion. Simultaneously, the Imperial Court would have the perfect excuse to punish the Xiao Family and divide the Dingyuan Army.
