Zhang Chen was taken aback by the words, a guess flashing through his mind, disbelief written all over his face as he asked, "Does Dean Zhou want to gather the incense of Jinling City to repair that treasure tower? Is he intentionally allowing the Shen Family to be destroyed?"
"Impossible! Dean Zhou isn't that kind of person." Zhang Chen shook his head in denial.
Huang Chao replied with a question, "Why not? The Shen Family monopolizes Jinling, becoming the true ruler of the city. But Zhou Qiucheng is the court-appointed official meant to pacify Jinling City, so an irreconcilable power conflict between him and the Shen Family is inevitable. Perhaps he did not deliberately let the Shen Family be destroyed but just gave it a little push when he saw its downfall was unavoidable."
