Here, Yan Fei carried Zhao Chen back to Weiyang Palace.
“My Lord, this is truly amazing, how did you come up with this?”
“This is simply because of my brilliant and mighty self.”
“Is that so? Brilliant and mighty Your Highness, when Qin Wang asked you to make a request, why didn’t you ask for the position of Crown Prince? You only asked for an assassin organization.
Could it be that your sister’s Yin Yang House is not as good as Luo Wang? Didn’t Eastern Emperor say that you can mobilize everyone in the Yin Yang House?”
“Of course I know that, but, some things are better done by Luo Wang! After all, the people in it are all born assassins, proficient in the art of assassination, I have great use for them in the future.
Also, what’s so good about being a Crown Prince, it seems like a lot of power, but in reality, it’s a living target.
Not only will you be targeted by ambitious brothers, but you will also be targeted by the six kingdoms. Many eyes will be covetous of you, and your life will be in danger at any moment.
Moreover, if I become the Crown Prince, will it breed pride and lead to self-indulgence?
Will I form factions and cliques?
Even if I don’t, those with ulterior motives will try to curry favor with me, and in doing so, won’t my father suspect me?
Also, my father is so brilliant and mighty, if he establishes me as Crown Prince now, it would probably not be a good thing for me or the Qin Empire!”
“How could that be?” Yan Fei and the two girls were extremely surprised.
“Why not, think about it, if I am established as Crown Prince now, won’t many people in Qin start to curry favor with me, making me fawned over from a young age without having experienced fierce competition before easily taking the position of heir?
Will this experience lead me to develop an arrogant and domineering personality, and make me naive about political struggles?
At the same time, to maintain their power, the princes and nobles of Qin often send their favorite sons to serve as companions to the Crown Prince, forming the so-called “Crown Prince faction”.
When the power of the Crown Prince faction gradually swells, if it continues to develop this way, will my father be able to tolerate it? Under such circumstances, our father-son relationship will gradually become strained, and in order to protect myself, I can only follow the advice of my advisors and choose to rebel.
However, due to a lack of sufficient preparation and background support, such a battle will inevitably end in failure, and what will my ultimate fate be?
I can only face a tragic death.
Furthermore, my father is determined to unify the six kingdoms. A king as domineering as him will naturally be incredibly strict with his next generation, and his expectations of his Crown Prince will be much higher than those of ordinary princes. If I don’t meet my father’s expectations, then he will eventually become disappointed and dissatisfied, and then he might alienate me or reprimand me severely.
Will this lead me to develop rebellious thoughts and a sense of crisis?
In this situation, if the ministers use the opportunity to sow discord, deepening my father’s dissatisfaction and suspicion of me, then by that time, I would be on the verge of being deposed!
Even if my father’s strict requirements of me, and the rumors and slander of the court officials, won’t this make my situation difficult?
Will I feel a threat to my life?
Then, in the face of life or death, how could I sit idly by? I will naturally choose to fight for my survival.
The outcome is obvious, I will only face the pressure of my father, who holds the heavy troops, and ultimately end in failure and death.
Ask yourself, do you still think the position of Crown Prince is a good one?”
Zhao Chen outlined the dangers of being a Crown Prince. In a nutshell, there are no benefits to becoming Crown Prince at an early age.
Zhao Chen’s words directly stunned Yan Fei.
How could that be?
Could it be that being Crown Prince has no benefits whatsoever?
But why are all the princes of the six kingdoms vying for the position of Crown Prince? Don’t they worry about these issues?
Or could it be…?
Yan Fei and Yue Shen both looked suspiciously at Zhao Chen.
“My Lord, you wouldn’t be making excuses for your laziness, would you?”
“Uh… is that how you see me? Is that what I am in your hearts?”
“Mm-hmm!” The two women nodded immediately.
?(ゝω???)?(ゝω???)
Zhao Chen rolled his eyes in exasperation.
“Pfft!”
“Hehe!”
“Alright, My Lord, your sister was just joking with you.”
“Right, sister, can you teach me martial arts?”
“Hmm???”
This time, both women looked at Zhao Chen in shock.
“My Lord, didn’t you not want to practice martial arts before? Have you changed your mind now?”
“I was just young before, now that I’m three years old, it’s time for me to start practicing martial arts.”
“Is… that so?”
“Why, sister, don’t you believe me?”
“Of course not, let’s begin then!”
Yan Fei and Yue Shen were about to start teaching Zhao Chen when a voice came from outside.
“My Lord, lunch is ready, the Empress asked you to come for dinner.”
“Understood.”
“Let’s go, sister, let’s eat first, and then start training after we finish!”
“Mm!”
“Oh, right, haven’t Xiao Meng and Xiao Yi emerged from seclusion yet?”
“Soon, it’s estimated that they will break through in two or three days.”
“That’s good, I’ll practice hard while I have these few days.”
After Zhao Chen finished lunch, Yan Fei and Yue Shen had also decided what martial arts to teach Zhao Chen.
“My Lord, I practice the Soul Wandering Dragon, and Yue Shen mainly practices Astrological Law.
But, the most important thing now is to make you feel the existence of inner strength.
This is the most basic Qi-Attracting Technique in our Yin Yang House, it can help you generate inner strength in your body faster.”
With that, Yan Fei turned her jade hand, pure inner strength flowed from her hand into Zhao Chen’s body, starting to circulate through his body.
【You feel the Yin Yang House’s Qi-Attracting Technique, you have a sudden enlightenment, and you comprehend the Qi Refinement Technique. Through breathing, you can absorb pure Qi (post-heaven True Essence) from all things and stars, nourish and blend it with the innate True Essence, thus gradually making the inner strength in your body full and thick.】
【You comprehend the Qi Refinement Technique, and have another sudden enlightenment. The Qi Refinement Technique is simplified, breathing alone can increase inner strength.】
Breathe in once, True Qi +1
Breathe in again, True Qi +1
Continue, True Qi +1
………
Feeling the inner strength in his body continuously strengthening, Zhao Chen immediately laughed.
【So that’s it, this way, as long as I’m alive, then my inner strength will increase continuously, ah hahaha! I really didn’t expect this outrageous comprehension buff to be so powerful, thank you Willpower Mother, love you, mwah!】
Zhao Chen excitedly opened his eyes.
“My Lord, how is it, have you generated inner strength? It’s okay if you haven’t, it took me three days to feel the Qi when I was young, but it was still two days faster than Yue Shen!”
“Ah? Yan Fei sister, I have already generated True Qi in my body, not only that, it has already circulated a full cycle.”
“What?”
“How is that possible?”
Yan Fei and Yue Shen exclaimed in unison, looking at Zhao Chen in disbelief.
Both of them immediately placed their jade hands on Zhao Chen’s body, carefully feeling.
They discovered that there was already True Qi circulating in Zhao Chen’s body, although it was as thin as a hair, but it was continuous.
Not only that, with every breath Zhao Chen took, the thin True Qi began to increase, it didn’t even need deliberate cultivation, the increase of True Qi came with every breath Zhao Chen took.
Not only that, they also discovered that the True Qi in Zhao Chen’s body was a little different from theirs, but they couldn’t understand what was different about it.
How is that possible?
What on earth is this?
The two women exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.
