As for the intentions of these people, Pei Xuanjing was naturally crystal clear; these individuals were from enemy nations and various nefarious forces. They believed that Pei Xuanjing was without his own power and therefore controllable, wishing to use him as a puppet to divide the Dahong Dynasty.
Pei Xuanjing flatly refused them, but they were not willing to give up.
Faced with Pei Xuanjing's rejection, these people were insistent and would not back down due to just one refusal.
In the time that followed, they visited Taixuan Temple repeatedly, trying to persuade Pei Xuanjing to join the succession struggle, offering lavish gifts as a temptation.
"Gifts blind the eyes," as the saying goes. Such actions signified that these people's schemes were anything but trivial. After pondering, Pei Xuanjing decided to feign agreement, accepting their proposal for the time being.
