“Oh. It seems this Prince was mistaken. Imust blame the fact that I spend all year-round living on the island or at sea,causing me to be unaware of the current political situation. This had led me tobelieve I was signing the treaty with Xi Lei. He Di yawned languidly as heplayfully embraced the beauty at his side. His indifferent tone made his nextfew words sound like an understatement. “Now that I have been updated on thesituation, then it means half of the profit from the dual luminous sand is not forXi Lei, but rather for the Xiao Family, right?”
Kong Liu understood his point and replied,“Yes, young Lord.”
Dan Lin’s royalty unexpectedly took theinitiative to help Feng Ming block the obstacle he faced, surprising everyone.
The treaty was the crux of the issue SuJin Chao had placed on Feng Ming, but it had been blocked by Dan Lin’s rogueprince. This sudden turn of events caused Su Jin Chao to freeze, not knowinghow to continue.
Hao Yuan Jiang let out a relieved sigh,secretly thanking Xi Lei’s deity for sending the charming Prince of Dan Lin. Hemade use of the opportunity to quickly warn Su Jin Chao to shut up. His oldface mustered up a slight smile as he said, “a.s.sistant Su might as well sitdown now, after all, this is Tong’s banquet. We have yet to even hear royalUncle Qin Zhang and Crown Prince Qing Li’s speeches.”
“Stand still.” Feng Ming suddenlycommanded.
Su Jin Chao froze and fastened his gaze onhim. “Yes? Does Xiao Family’s young Lord have something to say?”
“Yes.” Feng Ming’s hair fell behind him,engraving his beautiful and elegant visage in everyone’s mind.
Everyone. Tong’s royal family, n.o.bles, DanLin’s He Di, Xi Lei’s representatives, Princess Zhang Liu, and even theattendants and maids…
They all clearly heard the calm andunhurried voice that contained no anger or arrogance. His voice was notdomineering, nor was it haughty. It only possessed the tender power of a man.
Feng Ming’s words were clear and graceful.“I rarely receive such a terrible answer as the one the a.s.sistant amba.s.sadorhas given me. Just now, a.s.sistant Su stated that because Rong Tian created theGrace Order, he had betrayed Xi Lei and therefore is not qualified to rule.However, in what way is Rong Tian’s Grace Order a representation of hisbetrayal?”
Within the Tong Kingdom’s magnificentpalace, in front of its most influential figures, Feng Ming had finally beganhis aggressive counterattack against Xi Lei’s representative.
This was also the first time in his entireexistence that Feng Ming’s life had been targeted, but yet had not forced himto feel helpless. It was definitely not because he was being forced to protecthimself while clas.h.i.+ng with an enemy directly.
Getting captured by Ruo Yan led to the battleon the Aman River. Getting captured by Lu Dan led to Dong Fan and its palacebeing bathed in blood. He Di’s late night sneak attack led him to have nochoice but to lead his men in killing their enemy. All these repet.i.tive actionshad been forced upon him in order to survive.
For the first time, he could escape fromthat pattern and take initiative in attacking first.
For him to throw himself into thewhirlpool of politics once again.
It was for Rong Tian and for himself.
“In the end, how has Rong Tian’s GraceOrder betrayed Xi Lei? Such a concept, I wish for someone to enlighten thisyoung Lord, a trivial businessman’s son. Seeing that there are so many royalsand n.o.bles in attendance, a.s.sistant Su, I humbly request for your teachings.”
A smile that could move any person, like adrop of dew s.h.i.+ning in the early morning sun, appeared on Feng Ming’s face.
His confident smile caused some of theattendants to feel admiration.
But, behind his blinding smile, an intenseheat burned inside. He had the urge to hug his knees and cry.
He had no idea how to manage the intensefeeling.
He felt this feeling coursing through hisveins when he was in Yue Zhong, working his brain to answer all the questionsabout other countries he was quizzed on.
He felt this intense feeling while makinga painstaking effort to temper himself.
He secretly went through those painstakingefforts in order to prevail over the dangers he would face on his journeyacross all the kingdoms.
At the moment he was challenged by Su JinChao, he finally felt a profound feeling for the first time, as if he was inthe same state of mind as Rong Tian while in battle. There were really no wordsto describe such a feeling.
He finally understood what Rong Tian hadsaid… he understood the meaning of “The Love of a King.”
