Qin Wentian walked towards the exit of the Royal Academy. Behind him, Little Rascal leisurely followed. At the same time, there were several silhouettes in Qin Wentian's surroundings. The person closest to him was none other than the guest elder of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Lu Feng. Since he was from the Divine Weapon Pavilion, he naturally felt closer to him.
"Senior Lu Feng, what was the identity of that old man earlier?" Qin Wentian curiously asked.
That old man looked extremely ordinary, but he had used a promise to take away the painting that everyone wanted. Not only that, at that time, there wasn't a single person who fought with him over it. Naturally, Qin Wentian discovered this abnormality.
"I was just about to tell you about this. You should know about the Jun Lin Banquet right?" Lu Feng asked Qin Wentian.
"Mhm, it's the grandest event of the year in Chu." Qin Wentian nodded.
"That's right. In Chu, the Jun Lin Banquet is an extremely important event. During the Jun Lin Banquet, the talent of the youths could be clearly seen with a single glance. And every year, the top rankers of the Jun Lin Banquet would all have a glorious future. The majority of them had all left Chu."
Lu Feng slowly continued, "That old man's name is Gáng Hong. Nowadays, it's very rare for the youths to hear his name. But 30 years ago, he was a genius of the younger generation. If I didn't remember wrongly, the top ranker of the Jun Lin Banquet was none other than Gáng Hong."
Qin Wentian's heart trembled slightly. The top ranker of the Jun Lin Banquet? Not only that, it was a character from 30 years ago.
"Why does he look so old?" Qin Wentian asked in bewilderment. For cultivators, if one's essence, qi, spirit, and blood were strong, they would all appear extremely youthful. Gáng Hong wasn't even 60 years old, so he should have the appearance of a middle-aged man.
"Nobody knows about this. Gáng Hong is a legendary character. Back then, he obtained the top ranker of the Jun Lin Banquet, and the Nine Mystical Palace wanted to recruit him as a disciple." After speaking till here, Lu Feng glanced to his left and right, before continuing in a low voice, "However, Gong Hong was someone who loved freedom and didn't agree. After obtaining the title of champion, he directly left Chu."
"By right, this matter should have come to an end. For those who left Chu, it was extremely rare for news to be transmitted back. However, just a few years ago, Gùng Hong returned to Chu. Not only that, despite not having any experience in forging weapons during his youth, he actually had extraordinary attainments in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions. He personally inscribed Divine Inscriptions a total of three times, and all three times, the Divine Weapons he forged were all peak-tier, third-ranked Divine Weapons."
"This matter caused quite a commotion in the past, and the aura of a legendary legend was also instilled into the minds of many. Currently, not only does he have extraordinary achievements in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions, his personal strength is also unfathomably deep."
Lu Feng sighed as he spoke. He had a lot of respect for Qin Wentian. Hearing this, Lu Feng gradually understood. A promise from such a character was truly extraordinary.
Mu Rou's father immediately got Mu Rou to agree. In the future, if the Mu Clan encountered any problems they couldn't resolve, Gùng Hong's promise was equivalent to a path.
"Wentian, if there's an opportunity, you should pay a visit to Gùng Hong and exchange insights on the Dao of Divine Inscriptions." Lu Feng smiled. He used the word 'exchange', evidently placing Qin Wentian on an extremely high pedestal.
"Where does Senior Gùng stay?" Qin Wentian asked.
"The Bamboo Lodge." Lu Feng laughed. In the Royal Capital of Chu, there was only a single place named the Bamboo Lodge, and it was precisely the place where Gùng Hong stayed. This wasn't a secret, and those who knew of Gùng Hong's identity were all very clear about this. There would often be people who went to the Bamboo Lodge to pay a visit to Gùng Hong, but only a very few would be able to meet him.
"Can you bring me there?" Qin Wentian smiled, his words causing Lu Feng's countenance to stiffen. "You want to go there just like that?"
"With such an esteemed senior, I would have to pay a visit sooner or later. Why don't I familiarize myself with the place first?" Qin Wentian replied with a smile. Lu Feng naturally wouldn't reject such a request. After exiting the Royal Academy, Qin Wentian bid farewell to the surrounding crowd and left together with Lu Feng.
… …
The Divine Inscription Painting that Qin Wentian had inscribed had already caused quite a commotion in the Royal Capital, especially in the world of weaponsmiths.
And weaponsmiths had always been the target of the various powers in the Royal Capital. Hence, countless pairs of eyes were paying close attention to the matters of the Royal Academy.
Nobody could have predicted that the ending would be so unexpected. Qin Wentian once again entered the sights of the various major powers.
Back then, when the young man stood amidst the snowstorm, with the Emperor Star Academy and the Divine Weapon Pavilion standing behind him, the various major powers were already filled with curiosity towards Qin Wentian. And this time around, Qin Wentian's performance had once again attracted a great deal of attention. Many of the major powers started to seriously investigate Qin Wentian.
Although Qin Wentian's background seemed simple, how did he become a genius in the field of Divine Inscriptions?
Were there any secrets on Qin Wentian's body?
In the Mu Residence, in front of a desk, an old man had a scroll in front of him. There were some words written on it, and the words were:
"Qin Wentian, adopted son of Qin Chuan. His family background is unknown. When he was young, he was brought to the Qin Residence by a crippled butler, and grew up there. At the age of 6, it was discovered that there was a problem with his meridians, causing him to be unable to cultivate. At the age of 13, he was betrothed to Autumn Snow of the Bai Clan. At the age of 16, the Bai Clan annulled the betrothal, and Qin Wentian began to cultivate, releasing his Heavenly Hammer Astral Soul from the 3rd Heavenly Layer …"
There wasn't much information written on this scroll, but it was enough to encompass Qin Wentian's entire life. It was a very simple life, so simple that there wasn't much information. Only after he entered the Royal Capital did the information become more plentiful.
The old man lifted his brush, and added a line of words at the end of the scroll. "Genius in Divine Inscriptions, able to create his own 3rd level Divine Inscriptions. His comprehension ability, monstrous."
After writing this line of words, the old man placed the brush down, only to see a butler standing outside the door.
"What's the matter?" The old man asked in a low voice.
"Miss Mu Rou has returned." The butler replied in a low voice.
The old man inclined his head, and asked in a low voice, "Was Mu Rou's birthday yesterday?"
"Yes." The butler nodded his head.
"Prepare a family banquet." The old man calmly stated, "The scale of the banquet can be moderate, and the Mu Clan can celebrate together. But it must have the warmth of a family."
"Yes." The butler nodded his head, and bowed as he retreated.
… …
In one of the rooms in the Ou Residence, a silhouette stood in front of a study table, looking at the scroll in front of him, as a look of contemplation flashed in his eyes.
This was a middle-aged man, and he looked cultured and refined, just like an ordinary scholar.
The name on the scroll was also Qin Wentian. Once, he didn't pay much attention to this name, even if he hoped that the owner of this name would die sooner.
A youth that originated from the Sky Harmony City, although he had extraordinary talent, he still had reason to believe that with Orchon, Yanaro, and the others in the Emperor Star Academy, it would be easy for them to make this genius disappear.
However, the growth of this genius was too fast, so fast that he attracted the attention of the Emperor Star Academy in such a short period of time. And now, he was even protected by the will of the Emperor Star Academy.
Now, it seemed that it wouldn't be so easy to get rid of this youth.
"How confident are we in killing him?" The middle-aged man asked in a low voice.
"100%." Behind him, a silhouette calmly replied. It was as though as long as the middle-aged man nodded his head, he would be able to guarantee that Qin Wentian would become a dead man.
"What's the probability of the Emperor Star Academy finding out about this?" The middle-aged man asked again.
"Directly assassinate him, 90%." That person replied, as accurate as before.
"In that case, reduce this probability to less than 10% before we act. Naturally, if we can borrow the hands of others to do it, that would be for the best." The middle-aged man faintly stated. 90% was simply courting death. He wouldn't do such a risky thing.
If it wasn't for the fact that Qin Wentian's growth was too fast, he wouldn't even think of doing this. The Ye Clan should be even more anxious than him.
"Right." The person behind him replied.
"If we borrow the hands of others, we absolutely cannot allow the Emperor Star Academy to find out about us. There must not be even the slightest possibility." The middle-aged man seemed to have thought of something as he added.
No one was willing to go against the will of the Emperor Star Academy. Even the Royal Clan had to give the Emperor Star Academy enough face at times. The weight of his Ou Clan naturally wasn't enough.
He believed that as long as he gave the command, the person behind him would definitely do it well. After so many years, everything he did was done to perfection.
The Jun Lin Banquet was about to arrive. He hoped that Chen 'er would be able to obtain a good result this time around.
