It was for this reason that he had engaged in such a battle of wits and strength with Wang Zhan. It had even reached the point where, when a conflict of interest arose, so many complications had suddenly erupted. This was because while Qin Ying might treat Wang Zhan kindly and devote her whole heart to him, her choices would never reflect those of the powerful figures behind her.
Therefore, even though the Old Man had met Wang Zhan only because he was invited by Qin Ying and had accompanied her, the Old Man still quietly implemented his own little plan after Qin Ying's departure, bringing Wang Zhan from the peaceful and comfortable Chu State back to the perilous Quan State.
Of course, Qin Ying might not have known, or perhaps she did. If she did hand Wang Zhan over to him, it was simply because she trusted her clan members.
