Chen Qun seeking to pressure Chen Xi wasn't something that Chen Xi knew about; even if he had known, he would have just chuckled dismissively. Xun Yu posed a real dilemma for Chen Xi, but as for Chen Qun, Chen Xi felt no significant pressure. Yes, Chen Qun was smart, but that was about it. There was a gap between him and those at the very top, and that slight difference was enough to leave none of Chen Qun's radiance when overshadowed by Xun Yu.
Well, a character forced to live in the shadow of Xun Yu while he was alive, Chen Xi felt, had no grounds to challenge him. Given the current situation, it was his role, Chen Zichuan, that matched Xun Yu's in standing; as for Chen Qun, better he go and keep Lub Su, my right-hand man, company. Soldier to soldier, king to king, you are simply not qualified!
