One’s 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 princess’s 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.
‘Grade-4 spirit herbs? An infinite supply?’
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.
“Young Lady…” Hong Yu voiced out, fearfully. “It’s extremely difficult for them to make a breakthrough in a few months even if there is an infinite supply of spirit herbs.”
The palace maids were Spirit Warriors.
It was extremely difficult to make a breakthrough once a person reached Spirit Warrior tier.
“It’s fine. You can drink the spirit wine in the wine cellar whenever you like. I’ll ask the people from the Iron-Blooded Troop to cultivate with you.”
Feng Ruqing ordered Tang Zi to recruit more forces for the Iron-Blooded Troop after listening to the state preceptor’s 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.
“Young Lady,” Hong Yu seemed to realize that something was wrong. She frowned slightly. “Are you trying to improve the strength of the Fengyun clan? Why…”
“It’s because I have made too many enemies.”
Feng Ruqing shrugged, nonchalantly.
“Enemies?” Hong Yu stared in disbelief. “For example…”
“Does the Divine Herbs Sect count as one?”
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 Yu’s legs went limp. She almost could not stand properly.
“And…” Feng Ruqing frowned.
Hong Yu’s heart trembled. “There’s more?”
“Does Tian Shen Manor count as one too?”
It seemed that the Mu family came from Tian Shen Manor.
‘Oh! That’s right. Jiu Ming told me before that my younger brother seems to be related with Tian Shen Manor. I’m not even sure how his condition is like now. If he is hurt in any way, I’ll never forgive them…’
Hence, the hate between Feng Ruqing and Tian Shen Manor grew even deeper.
Hong Yu’s lips twitched.
‘There 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?’
“Young Lady, please speak no more. Don’t tell me that you have become enemies with Deities Gate too.”
Feng Ruqing rubbed her chin. “I’ve no contact with them just yet. It might not be like that in the future…”
Hong Yu was speechless.
‘Does Young Lady mean to become enemies with them too?’
“Hong Yu, are you scared?” Feng Ruqing smiled and gazed at the small face with freckles in front of her.
“It’s indeed frightening.”
‘By the way, they are the most powerful forces in the mainland. There are a lot of strong people.’
“But, it’s useless even if I’m 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 I’ll never be afraid of them anymore.”
Feng Ruqing patted her face and smiled even more widely. “You don’t have to be afraid as long as you’re by my side.”
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.
‘She said…
‘I don’t have to be afraid as long as I’m with her.’
