Chapter 196: Chapter 196
Feng Qiwu listened and simply said, "I said before, you may handle them as you see fit, as long as you are satisfied." He felt quite appreciative of Tian Yuan’s approach.
It wasn’t that he admired how Tian Yuan dealt with Cai Yanyan and the Cai Family, but rather his ability to control the fate of the Cai Family so discreetly.
This Tian Yuan is indeed a talent with potential, possessing considerable skills.
However, upon hearing Feng Qiwu’s words, Tian Yuan felt somewhat disappointed.
What does the Crown Prince mean by this?
While he himself was certainly satisfied, what he sought was the Crown Prince’s approval of his actions.
Only then could he be sure that the Crown Prince was willing to accept their family’s allegiance.
Without a clear answer, it inevitably made him anxious.
But looking at Feng Qiwu, who exuded an aura of profound authority, like a deep sea, or an ancient well, Tian Yuan ultimately could only say, "Your humble servant thinks it’s acceptable."
Unfortunately, no matter what kind of punishment the Cai Family faced, everything he lost could never come back.
Zixi would not come back to life, and the years he fell into ruin can never be regained.
Feng Qiwu listened and nodded slightly towards Tian Yuan.
Seeing his face filled with disappointment, Feng Qiwu suddenly said, "This Ten Thousand Dynasty Conference, full of hidden talent and ambition, is indeed a good chance to compete for fame and fortune."
"What does the Crown Prince mean?" Tian Yuan’s spirit immediately lifted upon hearing this.
"You have wasted years, your reputation is in ruins. If you can stand out at the Ten Thousand Dynasty Conference, perhaps it can clear some of the misunderstandings others have about you." Feng Qiwu said with deep meaning.
He could not appear in person.
But there was no reason Tian Yuan could not show himself.
Let’s see how this guy performs at the Ten Thousand Dynasty Conference.
If he passes the final assessment, he could be considered a candidate worth nurturing.
Tian Yuan’s eyes brightened immediately after listening to Feng Qiwu.
He quickly said, "Your humble servant understands, rest assured Crown Prince, your humble servant will certainly not let you down. It’s getting late, so your humble servant will not disturb the Crown Prince’s rest any longer."
"Hmm, go on." Feng Qiwu waved his hand indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Tian Yuan was overjoyed.
Did the Crown Prince indeed have expectations for him?
Clenching his fists, Tian Yuan silently vowed in his heart: This time at the Ten Thousand Dynasty Conference, he must perform well to show the Crown Prince that he was still a useful person.
After Tian Yuan left, Xiao Quanzi carefully asked, "Your Highness, this Cai Jing selling Cai Yanyan, it can’t be just because he needs money, right?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Qiwu glared at him and snorted lightly, "Do you need to ask?"
"But regardless of Cai Jing’s reasons, it attests to Tian Yuan’s skills and capabilities. The hidden power of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness’s residence is quite significant." Feng Qiwu squinted his eyes.
After all, Cai Yang was one of the Six Ministers of Da Qin, among the most powerful group in the entire Da Qin.
Even though he died, it doesn’t mean all those complexly connected to him perished too.
Yet the Tian Family could manage to make Cai Jing sell his own sister under so many watchful eyes, something not everyone could accomplish.
But the Tian Family did.
These old noble families, indeed none of them are easy to deal with.
Listening to Feng Qiwu, Xiao Quanzi also expressed a serious demeanor, "Do you think...they are sincerely pledging allegiance to you?"
"Whether genuine or feigned, just watch their behavior, won’t you?" Feng Qiwu replied unhurriedly.
After all, it was the Tian Family that sought to pledge loyalty to him, accepting or not was merely a matter of his words.
"Your Highness is wise." Xiao Quanzi immediately understood.
If the Tian Family genuinely pledged allegiance to the Crown Prince, it would be favorable.
But if they were pretending, it didn’t matter, for it wouldn’t cause them any losses.
Besides, what a wise and mighty person the Crown Prince is?
If the Tian Family dared to play tricks before him, hum... they would only end up suffering their own consequences.
Feng Qiwu, after Tian Yuan left, walked out directly from the courtyard.
When he reached the rockery in the yard, Feng Qiwu suddenly paused.
The next moment, he narrowed his eyes, joined two fingers, and shot out an invisible sword qi. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel✦fire.net
In an instant, the giant rockery was struck by the sword qi, shattering into pieces, turning into a pile of dust flying in the air.
Witnessing this scene, the servants of the Eastern Palace nearby couldn’t help but show shock on their faces.
How could the Crown Prince’s power have become so terrifying?
With just a flick of his finger, he shattered such a large rockery!
Feng Qiwu meanwhile raised his eyebrows slightly and subsequently said to Xiao Quanzi, "Go get Witch Doctor Gu He for me."
"Yes, Your Highness." Xiao Quanzi lowered his head, his eyes flickering with extreme admiration.
This was indeed their master.
Who wouldn’t feel utterly reassured following such a powerful master?
No wonder Young Master Tian eagerly clung to him!
When Witch Doctor Gu He arrived and saw Feng Qiwu’s "masterpiece," he was startled.
"You... can now shatter such a large rockery? Haven’t you yet broken through the Star Realm?" Witch Doctor Gu He’s eyelids twitched.
He, of course, could have achieved this degree before.
But the precondition was that he had already broken through to the Star Realm.
If not, relying solely on physical strength, while he might shatter such a large rockery, he would definitely not be able to smash the stone into powder; at most, he could just reduce it to a pile of small rubble.
Feng Qiwu listened and asked calmly, "I ask you, in your era, what kind of ability was needed to achieve instant obliteration?"
"Instant obliteration?" Witch Doctor Gu He was taken aback.
At this point, Xiao Quanzi immediately spoke with utmost pride, "You’ve seen that rockery before, haven’t you? But our lord shattered it with just one finger."
Upon hearing this, Feng Qiwu cast a sidelong glance at him.
He clearly used two fingers, okay?
But whether it was one finger or two, it was already completely beyond Witch Doctor Gu He’s imagination.
After a moment, Witch Doctor Gu He solemnly stated, "To achieve such a level of disintegrating it into powder with a single finger, at least requires breaking through to the Star Realm."
The Star Realm and the physical realm were fundamentally worlds apart.
Only stepping into the Star Realm could one enter another realm of practice, witnessing things that physical realm cultivators couldn’t even fathom.
And only by breaking through to the Star Realm can one employ various special magic techniques, reaching the point of instant obliteration that Feng Qiwu mentioned.
Hearing this, Feng Qiwu nodded quietly.
In this case, he should now have a fighting chance against those experts from the Secret Families in Kunlun Mountains that Yu Qingfeng mentioned last time, right?
He doesn’t want those self-righteous people to act wantonly over his head!
