Capítulo 1441: Chapter 68: Heaven Capital City, I Have Arrived! (Double-Length)
Wang Anfeng said: “I do not intend to have any connection with the Imperial Court.”
Cui He laughed softly, not believing this statent. He had been in politics for many years and had heard such words countless tis. The greedier the person, the more likely they are to say such things, rely planning to ask for more leverage. He promptly said: “If that’s truly the case, that would be good.”
After a pause, he continued: “What does Mr. Wang think of this villa?”
Wang Anfeng said: “Peace amid the bustle, superior craftsmanship.”
Cui He slightly curled his lips, sincerely saying: “If you can instantly cease contact with His Highness and rebuke him for being unworthy, I am willing to gift this villa and these maids to you, and further guarantee your entry into the Imperial Court as an official, allowing you to exhibit your lifelong learning and ambitions.”
Wang Anfeng imdiately and thoroughly confird in his heart that the troubles surrounding him indeed stemd from Li Changxing’s clumsy machinations. Since matters had been clarified, he did not plan to continue feigning politeness with these arrogant noble clans.
Cui He’s seemingly gentle tone seed to disregard everything except himself, including those blooming maids and even the selection of court officials, treating them all as re mud beneath his feet.
If the noble clans in the court open their minds to soone, they naturally wouldn’t give the slightest hint of anomaly. Cui He’s current attitude was precisely his purpose.
If Wang Anfeng agreed to the conditions, he would rely beco another usable pawn; if he stord out, he wouldn’t beco anything substantial. Naturally, other noble families would emulate this, layer upon layer sealing, until this talented and arrogant youth, like those many before him, would be caught in myriad webs, like a butterfly under spider silk.
Not a friend, then an enemy.
Cui He thought back to his youth, when classmates with exceptional talent overshadowed him in everything. Yet now, were it not for his secret maneuvers, they would still remain re frustrated clerks.
He sipped his tea quietly, watching Wang Anfeng, waiting for him to make a choice.
He particularly enjoyed the feeling of having a person’s, especially an outstanding person’s, destiny in the palm of his hand, looking down from on high, like an Immortal manipulating ants.
Suddenly, disturbances occurred outside.
The usually composed attendants ran back from the front, their expressions frantic, nearly unable to utter a complete sentence. The winter wind crashed in, transforming the previously serene Cui Family villa into a whirlwind of ferocious turbulence.
Under the cold plum trees in the rear courtyard, a fire basin was toppled by the wind, spilling flas.
Cui Ge returned after a brief departure, his face ashen, unable to articulate clearly.
Cui He’s complexion changed repeatedly, losing his prior calmness, when the vermillion door was suddenly pushed open from outside. A middle-aged man with scars on his face strode in, followed closely by silent elite forces, clad in battle robes, their waist adorned with Great Qin Heavenly Works Departnt’s swords, the hilt etched with dragon and sparrow patterns.
The imposing aura only possessed by battle-hardened elites surged upward, directly pressuring them.
Cui He was pale.
Then he saw the blue-clad youth rise leisurely. Wang Anfeng gazed at Gongsun Jing, silently pondering the plan to act discreetly. The Qing Taoqi was brought by Li Bo, intending perhaps for him to enter Heaven Capital City bravely, like his father did years ago, shattering the expectations of the so-called Five Surnas and Seven Clans.
How could a descendant of the Divine Martial Mansion act stealthily and fearfully?
How could he forsake those who gathered for three symbolic words?
So he rose, the Heavenly Secrets dissipating from his being. In Cui He’s eyes, Wang Anfeng’s Qi chanism transford from pale blue to deep blue, then to purple, then blazing like fiery clouds, in nearly an instant, Cui He’s jade-green ring shattered.
Wang Anfeng stood in the Cui Family’s main hall.
He could feel the hidden gazes constantly monitoring this area.
He knew that following today, troubles would co incessantly.
With a lighthearted smile, he thought, let them co.
Saluting deeply to the Qing Taoqi, he bowed and said solemnly:
“Respect to your gallant war achievents.”
“Welco to those who break through the Northern Frontier.”
Boom!
Eight hundred Qing Taoqi knelt in unison.
Not only was the Cui Family villa overtaken, but the streets outside were occupied by Qing Taoqi.
Many passing citizens saw these n kneeling on the ground.
The spirit of courage rose high without needing words, and at this mont, spies laid by the noble clans changed expression drastically, those who truly knew many secrets understood who was called ‘teacher’ by the Imperial Grandson today.
Cui He’s expression morphed nurous tis, first hesitating, then suddenly realizing the truth, finally filled with fear and anger.
“You… You are!”
Wang Anfeng took the white battle robe from Gongsun Jing, unfurled with a swish, like clouds descending from the heavens, draped upon him, the white robe embroidered with fiery clouds in golden thread, the mythical dragon soaring through clouds ca forth, transforming the impoverished blue-clad scholar into a bold, ascending young Mansion Master.
He turned to face Cui He, also addressing Heaven Capital City and those secretly observing among the Five Surnas and Seven Clans, pointing at the standing Qing Taoqi, saying:
“Thank you, Mr. Cui, for your kind offer.”
“However, this is what I pride myself on as my treasure.”
Wang Anfeng looked at this majestic Massive City, seeing the myriad forces hidden behind its peaceful facade, the entanglents with the Five Surnas and Seven Clans of yesteryears, his eyes calm, taking a deep breath, with a carefree smile, he said:
“Five Surnas and Seven Clans, are they worthy?”
“Heaven Capital City, here I co!”
