An Cui had always known that the Red Lotus Group was in internal discord, and he had tried to obtain a deeper understanding of the issue. But back then, he hadn't had resources and could convince no one to join his side at all. He had stayed in the Red Lotus Group for quite some time, yet he just couldn't reach a higher position. Naturally, he couldn't investigate further.
With Jiang Pengji's financial help, in addition to the fact that An Cui was good at managing interpersonal networks, it was as if a tiger had been given wings. He soon became the high-profile leader of a small group.
The scholar asked him for advice a few times, making An Cui his ghostwriter. This fulfilled An Cui's wishes perfectly.
However, the scholar didn't recommend An Cui to the cult leader as he'd promised. Instead, he suppressed An Cui both consciously and subconsciously.
