"Hahaha! You read my mind so well!" Shen Qiang laughed so hard that the very ground began to shake.
Liu Feng looked straight at his eyes, unwavering, waiting for an answer.
"The seventh prince might be taking a back seat, but is the True Martial Sect going to follow him? Or are you going to choose soone that you actually believe can beco the king?" Liu Feng asked.
"You are the best contender that I have seen in the last few succession wars. You think so well, and you even fight so extraordinary. Soone like you cos once in a millennia. Do you think that I would let this opportunity pass?" Shen Qiang laughed heartily.
"So I take it that the True Martial Sect is going to stand behind the Young Noble?" Cai Guo asked.
"That is exactly the case. I don't know what you were saying, Cai Guo, but we are not liars here at the True Martial Sect. If we want to do sothing, we battle for it. And battle we did. This young man has battled to satisfaction, so it is only right that we help him out." Shen Qiang nodded.
"I wonder what the seventh prince will feel about this. You promised to stand behind him, and now that he is sitting out, you chose another faction." Liu Feng's mouth curled up.
"What is wrong with what we did? We chose the seventh prince because he promised us that the battles that would be fought were going to be legendary. And then, he left the battle. We are unsatisfied. The True Martial Sect always goes to battle, and if it not under the seventh prince's banner, then it shall be yours." Shen Qiang rubbed his hands.
"Fine. If you are so eager to fight, then you shall be in the front lines. I do not want to take the excitent away from you. Now that we have convinced you both, I think that there is sowhere else that we need to go? Family head, who do we go to next?" Liu Feng looked at Cai Guo.
"You are leaving already, Young Noble?" Shen Qiang also adopted the hor, Young Noble, as he called upon Liu Feng.
"What is wrong with that? I need to convince as many people to help out as I can. I need to win this battle no matter the cost." Liu Feng said.
He had no intention our desire of becoming the king, bu he knew that if he failed the story quest, the only penalty that he would gain was death. And that was terrifying to even think about.
When he failed his first story quest, all the way in the Spirit Jade pool, he got quite the threatening ssage from the system telling him that losing was absolutely out of the question.
"We did finish the deal, young noble, but don't you think that we need to go through custom to talk about the details? We will be battling under your banner, but we know you too little to be convinced just yet to let you go." Shen An said.
Liu Feng frowned though.
"I think that the details can be spoke to with the family head? I do not handle logistics. A leader leads, while soone else should take care of the logistics. As I said, I need to talk to as many people and convince them to join my banner as fast as I can." He said.
"And that there is the problem, Young Noble. We do not wish for you to take any more under the banner that you fly." Shen Qiang disappeared and reappeared right behind Liu Feng, blocking his retreat.
"What is the aning of this? So you are going to stop us from talking to any others?" Cai Guo raged.
Liu Feng stopped him once more.
"I think I understand where the sect master and his… companion are talking about." He didn't dare assu whether Shen An was his wife or his sister, as it wasn't apparent.
"If I am not wrong, I know exactly why you chose the seventh prince. He was the weakest, wasn't he? The one most probably to lose, so he would be the first target that everyone would face. More fighting for you."
"And now, you want to fight alongside , and hope that the crown prince gets as strong as he can so that you can fight even more. Fight even stronger people." Liu Feng surmised.
"Hahaha! You are like my unborn son, Young Noble. You understand so well! To think that you took my line of thought so far! You really are the right choice. So then, please understand my reasoning. For your two newest experts, are you willing to let go of three or four lowly imperial advisors, all of them in the Low ranks of the Soul Evolution Stage?" Shen Qiang said from behind Liu Feng.
But Liu Feng wasn't having it. He was about to flip out, when he heard a dreadful sound. A sound that he knew couldn't an anything good at this stage.
Ping!
It was the sound of the system saying sothing.
[Story Quest!: Do not allow any other mbers into your party. Win the succession war with only those you have below you right now.
Reward: Extra Rewards will be distributed upon completion of prior story quest
Penalty: Death]
The penalty shook Liu Feng. To think that the system took things so seriously.
"You have to be kidding . Whoever is behind the system really loves a good movie. Why do they want to beco the underdog?" He cursed inside, but tried his best to maintain a normal face.
"Ahem!" He cleared his mouth and looked at Shen An in front and Shen Qiang in the back.
"You are right, Sect master. What fun is there in winning with everyone in our ti. We are already very strong. Let us use our current strength and do things on our own from here on. I agree to your request. I will not be going anywhere else." He nodded.
