Chapter 174: Chapter 170 He Might Be the Next Martial Saint! (Please Subscribe)

Silence!

Within the Wei Residence’s council hall, it was dead silent, one could hear a pin drop!

Qin Zheng raised his head, his gaze firmly fixed on the opposing Wei Wuliang, and confirmed, "Is this true?!"

Wei Wuliang nodded solemnly.

Qin Zheng closed his eyes, forcibly calming the tumultuous emotions in his heart.

The Great Jin Dynasty was actually considering abandoning Qingzhou, all to create several Martial Saints!

A region’s land, tens of millions of commoners!

If the Great Jin Dynasty truly abandoned Qingzhou, Qin Zheng could imagine what Qingzhou would become.

By then, rivers of blood would form, and mountains of bones would pile up!

A region’s land, covered in corpses, a living hell!

How... could they dare to?!!

Seeing him like that, both Wei Wuliang and Wei Wushuang did not disturb him.

After a few breaths, Qin Zheng opened his eyes and stood up simultaneously.

"Qingzhou is in danger of falling, I must hurry to Qingzhou, I cannot stay and chat any longer."

With that, he turned to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Wei Wuliang called out in time, stopping Qin Zheng, and said hastily, "Rest assured for now, even if His Majesty’s scales have tipped, Qingzhou will not immediately face a crisis!"

Qin Zheng stopped in his tracks, turned to look at him, awaiting what he would say next.

Wei Wuliang continued, "Although His Majesty ordered Hua Qingyun to return, he also dispatched a royal expert who is also a Half-Step Martial Saint."

"So Qingzhou still has a Half-Step Martial Saint defending it and will not be in danger of falling."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng’s heart relaxed slightly, but his brow furrowed lightly as he asked, "Then what you said earlier..."

"I just wanted to tell Young Master Qin, there are currently two voices in the court about the matter of Qingzhou, one supports it, and the other opposes it, and they are causing an uproar."

"His Majesty is currently indecisive. By calling back Hua Qingyun and sending a royal expert there, he is afraid that one side might take advantage of the situation to make the decision for him."

"It’s just..."

Wei Wuliang didn’t finish his sentence, but Qin Zheng understood his implication.

Qingzhou is a territory of the Great Jin, the land of the current emperor.

The ministers now want him to give up this land to create several Martial Saints.

If he disagreed, he would have rejected the idea immediately.

But he did not reject it, he hesitated instead.

And hesitation often signifies a leaning within the heart; it’s just that he is temporarily unable to make a decision.

Wei Wuliang told him all this to prepare him for this possibility and to ready himself for it!

Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, considering the various possibilities that could happen to Qingzhou going forward.

Thinking about how he could make the Great Jin Dynasty not give up on Qingzhou.

Meanwhile, his gaze on the two men before him, the Wei Family must belong to the opposing side, or they wouldn’t have shared this with him.

With this in mind, he asked, "Between the two factions, which is stronger and which is weaker?"

If voices opposing it are louder within the court, it could also influence the emperor’s decision.

Wei Wuliang’s expression darkened slightly as he responded, "Currently the supporting side is slightly stronger."

Qin Zheng’s heart sank.

Wei Wuliang, however, continued, "However, the opposition is not small either, and now out of the Great Jin’s eighteen Martial Saints, twelve have taken a stance, supporting and opposing in equal halves."

"So we just need to strive a bit more, to gain more Martial Saints on our side opposing it!"

"Or... if a nineteenth Martial Saint emerges in the Great Jin, and they are also opposed, it could sway His Majesty’s heart!"

As he spoke, his eyes carried a hint of probing when they landed on Qin Zheng.

If the young man in front of him could become the next Martial Saint of the Great Jin, then the issue of Qingzhou would certainly take a turn for the better.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng nodded slightly.

No matter what decision the court makes, he would not let such a thing happen at any cost!

"I appreciate the information on Qingzhou, do you have anything else to discuss?"

After digesting the information about Qingzhou, Qin Zheng looked at the two men before him and spoke again.

Wei Wuliang then said, "The situation in Qingzhou is unstable, we would like Wuji to come back, but he stubbornly refuses; we hope you can persuade him, to have him return first, we hope you understand."

Qin Zheng nodded upon hearing this and agreed, "I’ll give it a try."

After saying this, Wei Wuliang and Wei Wushuang exchanged a glance.

Then Wei Wuliang said somewhat awkwardly, "Earlier, at the main entrance, those were all young ladies of our Wei Family, I wonder if Young Master Qin found any to his liking?"

The proud Martial Saint Clan of a Half-Step Martial Saint, now trying to bind this young man with the women of the Wei Family.

Even though this decision had been made long ago and emotional preparation had been done, he still felt a blush of embarrassment at this moment.

Qin Zheng, upon hearing this, did not say much, simply shook his head slightly, smiling as he responded, "Right now, my heart is not set on that path, I am sorry."

Regret flickered in the eyes of Wei Wuliang and Wei Wushuang.

But soon after, they smiled, saying, "No matter, you are the Direct Disciple of our junior brother, that makes you one of our Wei Family."

"If you ever run into any issues or need anything, you can always come to us."

"Although our Wei Family may not compare to the Quanyang Gao Family, we are still a Martial Saint Clan with an ancestral Martial Saint at its helm, rich in resources!"

Qin Zheng smiled and thanked them.

After the two finished speaking, Qin Zheng chatted with them briefly before excusing himself.

Though the matter of Qingzhou had not been completely resolved, being in the Capital City and far from Qingzhou still made him somewhat uneasy.

The Enlightenment Divine Stele had already been studied, and his purpose for coming to the Capital City was achieved, so it was better to head back as quickly as possible.

Once his figure had disappeared from the Wei Family Mansion.

In the council hall.

Wei Wuliang and Wei Wushuang sat in silence, not uttering a word.

"Big brother, how likely do you think it is that he’ll break through to Martial Saint?"

A moment later, Wei Wushuang turned to his elder brother and asked.

Wei Wuliang narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, then gently shook his head.

"It’s hard to say, the path to Martial Saint is too difficult. Without becoming a Martial Saint, no one can determine whether it’s possible."

Wei Wushuang nodded then heaved a light sigh, before saying, "I actually hope he really can break through to Martial Saint."

"His temperament is exactly like the ancestor’s—decisive in action and detesting evil. With him around, the ancestor can relax a lot more and live longer."

As the two were speaking, a maiden stealthily poked her head in, looking at the two in the council hall.

"Come over, who do you think you’re still fooling?"

Wei Wuliang shook his head, somewhat helplessly.

The young girl had delicate features and a pretty face, especially her clear and pure large eyes.

At this moment, her playful smile was like a crescent moon, bright and charming.

She entered the council hall and first respectfully said to Wei Wushuang, "Uncle."

Then she turned to Wei Wuliang with a sweet voice, "Daddy~"

"Alright, alright, what does a girl like you want coming here?"

Wei Wuliang’s eyes twinkled with amusement, but his face wore a look of resignation as he said this.

"Humph!"

The girl did not respond but looked curiously at Wei Wushuang and asked, "Uncle, who was that boy just now?"

"Do you like him?"

Wei Wushuang did not answer directly but asked with a smile.

Wei Wuliang also turned his gaze to his daughter.

The girl thought for a moment and said, "He’s quite handsome, but seems a bit cold and not easy to get along with."

"So that means you like him?"

Wei Wushuang teased her.

The girl did not argue and continued to ask curiously, "Who is he, really?"

"Him..."

Wei Wushuang’s voice paused, then he exchanged a glance with Wei Wuliang, and, with an air of anticipation, continued, "He may well be Great Jin’s next Martial Saint!"

Upon hearing this, the girl’s clear eyes suddenly widened, as a storm of astonishment rose in her heart.

...

When Qin Zheng returned, Fuyu was sitting idly in the courtyard.

Seeing Qin Zheng’s figure, he immediately stood up, saying happily, "Junior Brother Qin, you’re back! How did it go?"

Qin Zheng nodded and a slight smile appeared on his face as he replied, "Not bad."

"Good! Good! Good! That’s fantastic!"

Fuyu’s face also showed delight, as if he had gained a great advancement from understanding the Divine Stele himself.

"Alright, our purpose for coming to the Capital City has been fulfilled; let’s pack up and head back," Qin Zheng said.

"Sure!"

Fuyu did not dawdle, agreed with a single word, and immediately turned to pack and ready the carriage.

It wasn’t long before the two had their belongings gathered, and they sat in the carriage, driving toward the exit of the Capital City.

As they left, they informed no one, so their journey was peaceful. After passing through the grand city gate, they had effectively left the Capital City.

Clatter clatter~

Outside the carriage, two young men sat at opposite ends, one on each side.

One, dressed in a Gold-Patterned Profound Robe, had handsome features and was the epitome of a dashing young man.

The other wore a green scholar’s garment, with a gentle expression like a learned scholar well versed in poetry and books.

"Junior Brother Qin, let me take care of driving. You should rest inside," Fuyu said, looking at Qin Zheng sitting on the other side.

Qin Zheng shook his head and said with a smile, "It’s stuffy inside, it’s more comfortable out here."

Seeing that he would not go inside, Fuyu didn’t press the matter further.

Thus, the two of them sat on the outside of the carriage, enjoying the breeze and chatting about their insights into cultivation.

During this process, the beautiful scenery of rivers and mountains on both sides also caught their eyes.

"Such beautiful landscapes are truly endearing!" Fuyu remarked somewhat emotionally.

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Landscapes like this should not go to waste in the hands of monsters."

Fuyu turned his head, looking puzzled, "Junior Brother Qin, what do you mean by that?"

Qin Zheng shook his head without answering and simply gave a gentle smile, saying, "Senior Brother Fuyu, I’ll be waiting for you just up ahead."

With these words, under Fuyu’s bewildered gaze, he stepped forward and suddenly soared into the sky!

Whoosh!!

At the same time, a sword light, emitting a formidable and astonishing Sword Qi, instantly tore through the air, chasing after him!

The Gao Clan’s backup had finally arrived!

Below, on the carriage, Fuyu sat, looking somewhat stunned.

"Junior Brother Qin... when did you learn to fly?!"
