Oneâs true strength was everything!
Hence, only a few people agreed with Lei Yun when he voiced out his request. She could not bear to see those who were willing to come to the princessâs manor weaker than anyone else! Their cultivation should not be affected.
Not only were the palace maids shocked, but Hong Yu herself also could not help but raise her head in shock. She stared at Feng Ruqing in disbelief.
âGrade-4 spirit herbs? An infinite supply?â
It was a fact that the Fengyun clan owned a few mountains of herbs. So, there was a huge amount of spirit herbs in the manor.
Similarly, there were a lot of disciples in the Fengyun clan. The number of talented people there was high too.
The spirit herbs could not be shared among the disciples equally even if they were in abundance.
Hence, it was extremely difficult to compete for the spirit herbs. It was an impossible thing to have an infinite supply of the spirit herbs.
âYoung Lady...â Hong Yu voiced out, fearfully. âItâs extremely difficult for them to make a breakthrough in a few months even if there is an infinite supply of spirit herbs.â
The palace maids were Spirit Warriors.
It was extremely difficult to make a breakthrough once a person reached Spirit Warrior tier.
âItâs fine. You can drink the spirit wine in the wine cellar whenever you like. Iâll ask the people from the Iron-Blooded Troop to cultivate with you.â
Feng Ruqing ordered Tang Zi to recruit more forces for the Iron-Blooded Troop after listening to the state preceptorâs suggestion that day.
The time went by and the matter of recruitment should be completed by now. It was time for them to cultivate their bodies and souls.
âYoung Lady,â Hong Yu seemed to realize that something was wrong. She frowned slightly. âAre you trying to improve the strength of the Fengyun clan? Why...â
âItâs because I have made too many enemies.â
Feng Ruqing shrugged, nonchalantly.
âEnemies?â Hong Yu stared in disbelief. âFor example...â
âDoes the Divine Herbs Sect count as one?â
She killed Gu Zhenyang and it was impossible that the Divine Herbs Sect would not do anything about it.
Now, the Divine Herbs Sect was only afraid of Nan Xian. They would surely come and seek revenge from the Fengyun clan if they were ever given a chance.
Hong Yuâs legs went limp. She almost could not stand properly.
âAnd...â Feng Ruqing frowned.
Hong Yuâs heart trembled. âThereâs more?â
âDoes Tian Shen Manor count as one too?â
It seemed that the Mu family came from Tian Shen Manor.
âOh! Thatâs right. Jiu Ming told me before that my younger brother seems to be related with Tian Shen Manor. Iâm not even sure how his condition is like now. If he is hurt in any way, Iâll never forgive them...â
Hence, the hate between Feng Ruqing and Tian Shen Manor grew even deeper.
Hong Yuâs lips twitched.
âThere are three powerful forces in the mainland. Young Lady has become enemies with two of them. Why do I feel like life will be very difficult from now on?â
âYoung Lady, please speak no more. Donât tell me that you have become enemies with Deities Gate too.â
Feng Ruqing rubbed her chin. âIâve no contact with them just yet. It might not be like that in the future...â
Hong Yu was speechless.
âDoes Young Lady mean to become enemies with them too?â
âHong Yu, are you scared?â Feng Ruqing smiled and gazed at the small face with freckles in front of her.
âItâs indeed frightening.â
âBy the way, they are the most powerful forces in the mainland. There are a lot of strong people.â
âBut, itâs useless even if Iâm scared. Manor Master has saved me before. So, my life belongs to you from then on. The only thing I can do is become stronger so that Iâll never be afraid of them anymore.â
Feng Ruqing patted her face and smiled even more widely. âYou donât have to be afraid as long as youâre by my side.â
At that very moment, Hong Yu was deeply touched deeply. It felt like her heart was grabbed upon by a pair of warm hands channeling warmth into it.
âShe said...
âI donât have to be afraid as long as Iâm with her.â
