"Because the Emperor does not trust the Imperial College Sacrificial Officer."
Hearing these words from Shang Jianling, Jiang Li showed a hint of surprise, then chuckled lightly: "Then how do you intend to gain My trust?"
He did not deny his distrust of the Imperial College Sacrificial Officer, or rather, he intentionally revealed his distrust to the Mo Sect, so they would follow his intentions and willingly step into the game.
As the Mo Sect Master, Shang Jianling... or rather Mo Xuankong, did not disappoint Jiang Li.
"Loyalty."
Shang Jianling slowly uttered the two words as an answer.
The root of distrust always ties back to loyalty, and in order to compete with the untrusted Confucianism, the Mo Sect naturally needed to start with trust and loyalty.
Only by gaining the Emperor's trust and support, could the Mo Sect catch up with Confucianism, which has been established in the Great Zhou for eight hundred years, or even overtake it.
