Chapter 458: Chapter 460 Preliminary Planning of Power (Part 3)
Mu Ruyue’s expression gradually grew solemn, “So the Yao Family can resort to such things as forcefully taking a man, and this is what’s called a transcendent power?”
Xuan Yuan smiled faintly, “The direct lineage of the Yao Family is relatively sensible, but a small part of the side branch does such disgraceful things. Unfortunately, such minor issues are unknown to the Yao Family’s direct lineage. I reckon that apart from the elders of the Xiao Family, probably no one else knows that they had once watched as Xiao Yun got his powers crippled right before their eyes…”
These things were told to him by his grandfather on his deathbed, and they were also his greatest regret in life. Since this girl was a descendant of Xiao Yun, he should help her, otherwise his grandfather would surely grieve in the netherworld…
“I understand.”
Mu Ruyue nodded slightly, a trace of cold light flashing in her downcast eyes.
She wasn’t a man, but her elder brother was indeed a genius man… If the side branch of the Yao Family dared to coerce her brother, then she would never forgive them…
After finishing the matters here, Mu Ruyue turned and left without any hesitation.
Watching the woman’s figure disappear in the sunlight, Xuan Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, “Master Wushan, what do you think of this girl?”
“She is not a common person.”
After a moment of silence, Wushan concluded this.
“Your Majesty, this girl has great aspirations, so large that a small empire cannot catch her eye. What she wants is the entire continent, the supreme peak position, that supremely chaotic continent, not this Fengyun Empire.”
From Mu Ruyue’s every word and action, Wushan could see that she aspired to climb upward, to reach that ultimate peak position.
What is it to become a monarch of a country?
Being that monarch is less worthy than becoming someone that even monarchs obey…
Xuan Yuan looked at Wushan in surprise, the evaluation given by the master was indeed too high, so high that it was hard to believe…
“So, what we do is to build connections?”
“No,” Wushan shook his head, “Your Majesty, this girl has probably already guessed our identities, but she has said nothing and treated us with neither servility nor arrogance, only as ordinary people. Hence, I suspect that trying to appeal too much would only provoke her dislike. We should consider what interests her.”
“What does the Master suggest?”
“She is an Alchemy Master, and will be interested in medicinal herbs. Your Majesty, don’t reveal your intention to win her over, but occasionally send her some precious herbs as a token of thanks for saving the life of the Fourth Prince. This way, gradually make her feel positively about the Royal Family. This way, we need not fear her indifference to the Royal Family’s troubles in the future. If you want to fully engage in a friendly relationship with her, it should be based on unbreakable mutual benefits, thereby maintaining an unending friendship.”
As he talked, Wushan’s voice paused slightly, “Your Majesty, such a genius should only be befriended, not offended. Her road ahead is still long, and who knows, perhaps one day she might truly become that person standing at the peak. If our Empire has a good relationship with such a figure, why fear foreign invasion? Perhaps by then, Fengyun Empire will become the strongest country on the continent.”
The strongest country on the continent?
Hearing these words, Xuan Yuan’s heart was fiercely stirred, thinking perhaps the Fengyun Empire might truly flourish under his rule, fulfilling a mission not even his ancestors could complete. With this, even in the netherworld, he could face his ancestors with pride.
