Cai Family,
Elders hall,
This ti, the arrangents of seats was a little different than every ti before it. This ti, Cai Guo was still seated at the head of the hall, like every year before.
But right next to him, Liu Feng was also seated in a throne not as majestic, but a position that ant the sa stature.
This was a gesture. A gesture that ant that Cai Guo thought of Liu Feng as an equal, and not as a junior. And there were more guests in this elders eting.
Liu Man was there, sitting on the side. He didn't care for a spot in the center, and was just happy to look at the show that was going on. So was Min Wan. She didn't have anywhere to go, and now that she was embroiled in this intricate ss that was created when she started the first fight against the Hong family, she had no other choice but to keep going and join Liu Feng's side in the succession wars as well.
But the other guest was not Feng Wang. Feng Wang was long gone. He had returned to Kaishi city after wishing Liu Feng the best of luck. Like he had said before, he didn't want to get involved in the succession wars or the ss that ca with it.
The other guest was Tian Xiu. The Tenth prince, or rather princess. She wasn't in disguise. Showing her beauty and gender to every single one in the Cai family, she was seated right below Liu Feng and Cai Guo, with no one next to her that was considered her equal.
That was because she would be the king, or rather, queen, after Liu Feng abdicated.
And she didn't have a problem revealing her gender at this sensitive ti because her initial purpose of putting her gender a secret was that there would be prejudice.
The entire Cai family wouldn't be comfortable helping a woman beco the ruler of the nation when they could support another, more established prince. The world of cultivation was still dominated by n.
But now, it was different. The Cai family thought that it was Liu Feng that they supported. Not Tian Xiu. And now that he had shown his true potential and valor in battle, no one thought that Liu Feng didn't deserve this support.
With him, this was a guaranteed win. And when Tian Xiu would assu the throne, no one would know what hit them.
Seeing Tian Xiu in a woman's clothing and her breasts afloat and plump, everyone was shocked. This was no disguise. Tian Xiu was indeed a woman. And that shocked the entire room, who thought that the tenth prince was a prince.
Who would think that this prince had kept her own gender a secret all this long? And to think that the tenth prince, ahem, princess, was such a beauty!
Looking at her beauty though, so people understood why she would choose to stay mum about her gender. Princesses that were so stunningly beautiful were only given away in marriage so that alliances could be ford.
Princesses were usually pieces that could broker trades of power. Who would want to do that when they could vie for the throne themselves?
It was over now though. For all intents and purposes, the main goal of today was not Tian Xiu. She was a thing of the past. Why she was even here was beyond the elders. Their eyes were on Liu Feng.
They knew that their family head and Liu Feng were next to the king when the king died. These were the people who knew what actually happened. Surely, they had sothing to do with the sudden death. But even daring to say it out loud was a cri.
Now that the succession wars were about to start, since a heir was to be found as soon as possible, they had to keep calm and start calling all all the allies that they could.
"Young Noble. Can we assu that the Sky Heavens sect will enter the race this ti? Will they finally support soone?" Cai Guo started the discussion.
"I am not sure, family head. But what do you an, finally? Has the sect never been a part of the race before?" Liu Feng asked.
"The Sky Heavens sect was the weakest force among everyone, and no one even wasted ti to court them when they could use that ti to convince literally anyone else in joining their cause. But after the last succession war, the Sky Heavens sect suddenly shot up because of your sect leader." Cai Guo said.
Liu Feng's thought briefly flashed to when he returned to Sky Heavens from the Mysterious Kingdom. The plan was that he would create a distraction. But probably none of the three sworn brothers in his master, foster father, and father, thought that the 'distraction' that Liu Feng would create would cause the premature death of the king!
"I do not think that the Sky Heavens sect will be helping us in this fight. I am afraid that we will just have to be using your contacts and friendships this ti around, Family head. The only people that I can seem to bring to the table are those right here." Liu Feng said, looking at Liu Man and Min Wan.
"Do not fret, Young Noble. The help of two extra Soul Evolution stage experts is no small help. It is the difference between a winning and losing side. How many allies of ours can claim to have even one Soul Evolution Stage experts, let alone two?" Cai Guo chuckled.
"Good. I am glad to know that I have already helped with the planning. But which allies can you call to this here war of ours? I hope that we can start calling them here." Liu Feng asked.
"Do not worry about that, Young Noble. I have long called them in." Cai Guo smiled.
