Hsu Fengnian walked alone to the carriage that deviated from the central axis. The coachman was naturally Blue Bird, who was dressed in green and embroidered shoes. Xuanyuan Qingfeng, who carried the imperial jade seal, was dressed in purple and sat sideways behind Blue Bird. His legs dangled outside the carriage. Seeing Hsu Fengnian leave court so early, although Xuanyuan Qingfeng was puzzled, he didn't ask. They sat in the carriage together. After Hsu Fengnian sat down, he smiled and said, "West Chu returned a sword strike to me. We'll leave the capital later and let Mr. Cao wait for a few more days. At the same time, we'll scare that Han Diaosi who's waiting for us somewhere. This Confucian Sage won't be in the capital to retrieve the imperial jade seal. You should seize the time to absorb fate. "
Xuanyuan Qingfeng frowned and said, "Only forty to fifty percent."
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "One must be content with what one has. Getting fifty to sixty percent is good enough. Going too far is as bad as falling short. Fate is unpredictable. If something goes wrong, you'll be the one to suffer, not me. Come, take it out and let me take a look. I'll help you. "
Xuanyuan Qingfeng wanted to say something but stopped. He snorted coldly and didn't move in the end. Hsu Fengnian was confused and said helplessly, "Do you really think this imperial jade seal is your exclusive property? Borrowing money and returning it is a matter of course. In the past, you were rude and unreasonable to me, but that was because I was easy to talk to and didn't lower myself to your level. I've been hiding it for the past few years. Chen Zhibao is even more ruthless than me. He's already become a saint. During the battle of Iron Gate, Chen Zhibao was at the peak of martial arts and still couldn't defeat Cao Qingyi. If you offend this West Chu and delay his great cause of restoring the country, you're destined to suffer. Besides, when it comes to the fate of the imperial jade seal, you're thousands of miles away from your father. You're just a layman, far inferior to me. I'll help you take a look and fill in the gaps. Are you still not satisfied? "
Xuanyuan Qingfeng hesitated again and again, staring at Hsu Fengnian. Finally, she slowly extended two slender fingers, tilted her face, and pinched a red string that held the imperial jade seal from her neck. She gently lifted it. Looking at the scenery on her chest, she should have pulled out the imperial jade seal from between her two peaks. Hsu Fengnian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought to himself, 'No wonder you're so shy. In the end, you're a woman who can't be thick-skinned when it comes to matters like this.' Hsu Fengnian immediately pretended to be serious and old-fashioned so that she wouldn't fly into a rage out of humiliation. He calmly took the red string that still had traces of warmth and lowered his head to stare at the imperial jade seal of West Chu. Xuanyuan Qingfeng turned her head away and covered her chest. It was impossible to see whether she was angry or shy. Under the string, the imperial jade seal appeared to be sparkling and translucent. Yellow and purple qi rapidly circulated within it, like a river during the summer flood season or a chick leaving its nest. Its heart was still directed towards Xuanyuan Qingfeng. The fate leaked out from the imperial jade seal, drifting together and seeping into Xuanyuan Qingfeng's seven apertures and three dantian. Hsu Fengnian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He raised his head to look at the woman who was still angry at him and angrily scolded, "How is this forty or fifty percent? You've clearly stolen sixty or seventy percent. I've wronged you when I said that you only knew how to squander money."
Just like Hsu Fengnian said, Xuanyuan Qingfeng was a genuine layman. After obtaining the imperial jade seal, she only immersed herself in absorbing the fate contained within the imperial jade seal. After hearing the truth, she was also a bit excited. "Is it really sixty or seventy percent?"
Hsu Fengnian nodded. "Try pouring out all of your qi."
In the blink of an eye, the sea of qi in the carriage shook. The two horses abruptly stopped in their tracks, looking like they would not be shaken even by thunder. Hsu Fengnian's hair fluttered unsteadily as he clicked his tongue. Narrowing his eyes, he sighed emotionally. "Using the words of the Daoist Qi cultivators, it's like steaming the Clouddream Marsh, shaking the Jade Emperor Tower, and shaking the Kunlun Mountains. It's not far off from the Great Yellow Court of the Wudang Sect Leader. "
Xuanyuan Qingfeng closed her eyes and spread out her arms. In the region of Great Peace City near the palace, invisible qi rapidly converged with the carriage as the center. She had an intoxicated expression on her face.
The imperial jade seal in Hsu Fengnian's hand shook more and more violently. He said in a low voice, "Stop, stop!"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng quickly came back to her senses and withdrew her qi. She seemed to have sensed that her actions were too docile. She glared fiercely at Hsu Fengnian who had given the order.
Hsu Fengnian did not care about the arrogance and unruliness that he had brought out of her mother's womb. He also did not think about how to put in effort to suppress and train her. If all women had their edges removed, like Lu Chengyan of Qingzhou, all of them would be as smooth and sophisticated as pebbles. How boring would it be whether it was the jianghu or the residence? He handed her the red string and the imperial jade seal. "Take advantage of these few days to absorb a little bit more. It's not good for others to become fat in one mouthful when their hearts are not enough. Especially women. They don't look good if they are too fat."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng stared quietly at this fellow and said ungratefully, "It's not funny at all."
Hsu Fengnian put his hands in his sleeves and smiled. "It's really cold."
After this year's winter, Great Peace City was indeed exceptionally cold.
Hsu Fengnian waited for Xuanyuan Qingfeng to turn around and put the imperial jade seal back into the depression in the mountain range. He suddenly asked, "Xuanyuan Qingfeng, have you realized that you are actually very talented in scheming? Other people rely on practical knowledge and experience in the field of politics, but you rely on intuition?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng said with disdain, "Don't think that I will be your Beiliang's dog. I will do business with you one by one!"
Hsu Fengnian shook his head. "Don't be nervous. I am not so desperate that I am not picky. It's just that I am in a rare good mood, so I will reward you verbally."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng hit the nail on the head. "You have made things clear with Liu Hao of the White Clothes Case in the capital? Have you set up the arena? After leaving the capital this time, you have completely cleared things with the Zhao Family's son. In the future, you will rely on your own abilities to draw a line publicly? "
Hsu Fengnian nodded with a smile.
