After dinner.
Zhang Qin left with Zheng Gui, leaving them alone. On the table were spiritual fruits that he had brought back from the Eastern Palace.
Zheng Rou handed over a peeled apple and asked gently,””Something on your mind?”
Taking a bite ot the apple, Zhang Ronghua shook his head.”No!”
“What else is there to say in front of mother? Don’t be in a hurry to deny it. You were born by your mother. You know your personality better than yourself. You were like this when you were young. When you had something on your mind, you liked to be alone in a daze, or like now, your emotions were written on your face.”
“You’re doing this again, tricking me with your words. You’re not a child. You’ve suffered so much, so remember!” “Let mother guess and see if it’s accurate.”
Zhang Ronghua ate the apple silently.
Zheng Rou thought for a moment and suddenly smiled.””Have you taken a fancy to any girl?”
“Why do you say that?”
” You’re now a captain of the Flood Dragon Guards. After the Crown Prince’s reward, you’ll be promoted to a higher position. You’ll be excluded from the matters of officialdom first, followed by your daily life. You’re not bad at this either. Considering that you’re old and have a lot of social gatherings outside, if you meet a girl you like, you’ll have to spend money on these. I didn’t keep them for you, so I eliminated them again! There’s no need to talk about cultivation matters. Even wealth is suppressed by you. Cultivation techniques and martial arts techniques are nothing that can stop you. You won’t worry about them either.”
Zheng Rou paused for a moment before continuing.
“Although our family isn’t from a wealthy family, our family background is not bad. In the huge capital, we can be considered middle-class. The assets we’ve saved over the years are also not bad.”
Zhang Ronghua smiled bitterly. He sympathized with his father a little. No wonder he had been completely controlled all these years. Although his mother usually did not ask about big matters and managed these trivial matters in the residence, she had a high IQ and could see things far ahead.
Even if Ji Xueyan was not engaged to the Crown Prince, even if she was the pearl of the Grand Tutor, so what?
No matter how beautiful a woman was, didn’t she have to marry and have children?
Other than his identity, he was not bad in other aspects. As long as he was willing to work hard, there was nothing he could not do.
As the saying goes.
Even an iron pestle could be ground into a needle. He was many times stronger than an iron pestle. Was he afraid that he could not subdue her?
The problem was!
She had already set a marriage agreement with the Crown Prince. Whether they were willing or not, they had to do unconditionally. How could he do it?
Could it be that he really wanted to snatch her away and put on a full-on martial arts show?
He changed the topic.
“Did you take all the two thousand taels that I gave to father?”
Zheng Rou smiled and nodded, “This time he hid it deeper, but I still found it.””
Zhang Ronghua was speechless. He silently felt sorry for his father for three seconds. The sorrow of a middle-aged man could not even hide a little of his private money.
He stood up from his chair.
Zheng Rou said,” Love is something that lasts a lifetime. Mother can’t persuade you. If you don’t have a good life in the future, even if you don’t say it, you’ll blame Mother in your heart. Don’t force yourself and follow your heart. If fate really does happen, what’s yours will still be yours. If it’s not yours, you can’t force it.”
Zhang Ronghua also stood up and held her in his arms. Then, he separated and smiled, “Got it. ”
“It’s getting late. Go and rest!”
His mood was much better now, and all his worries were swept away. He no longer thought about Ji Xueyan’s matter. He took one step at a time and said whatever he wanted to say.
He stood in the courtyard.
His mind was unprecedentedly clear. He formed a fist with his palm and practiced the Mountain River World Suppression Fist. He did not use the Black Yellow True Essence, but only his comprehension of the fist technique. Each punch carried the True Meaning of Mountain River and was majestic.
As the speed of the punch increased, in the end, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was drawn over and condensed into a vast phenomenon of mountains and rivers.
At this moment.
He broke through to the ninth level of the Heaven Tier naturally, and this fist technique was also officially perfected, cultivated to the realm of technique approaching Dao.
It was almost dawn.
Zhang Ronghua stopped cultivating and stood up. He didn’t enter the room to rest. He looked in the direction of the door and calculated the time. They should be here soon.
Thump! Thump!
There was a knock on the door. It was very eye-catching when it was close to dawn.
He smiled when he heard the commotion.
They entered the lobby.
After a while, the butler brought Ma Ping ‘an and Lu Zhantang in and left. Zhang Ronghua pointed at the chair and smiled.”
He pushed the spirit fruit over, indicating that they were welcome.
The two of them did not pay much attention to it and casually picked up a spiritual fruit to eat.
Ma Ping ‘an sighed,”His Highness is really good to you. He rewards you with a batch of spiritual items every three to five days.””
“You speak as if you don’t have one.”
“Where’s wealth?”
“I’m cultivating in my room.”
“It’s fine if this guy is talented, but he’s actually going all out. We can’t fall behind either. Otherwise, the next time we spar, we’ll be one-sidedly crushed by him. ”
Zhang Ronghua poured three cups of tea from the teapot and handed over two cups. He took a sip from one cup and said,”Why now?”
“Humph! Some people did not know how to appreciate kindness and still resisted even when they were about to die, thus delaying a little time. So many people had died, and after dealing with the aftermath, he had to report to His
Highness in the Eastern Palace, which was why it had been delayed until now.”
He took out two sets of silver notes and placed them in front of him.
One portion was 20,000 taels, and the other was 5,000 taels.
Most of them were from Zhang Ronghua, while the rest were from Zheng Fugui.
He then took out a golden folding fan that exuded the aura of a Numinous Treasure. Before he could even unfurl it, a powerful pressure emanated from it. Once it was unfurled, its destructive power was shocking.
“This is a spirit treasure we found in the palace of Princess Chang, the Fan of Birds of a Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix. Its power is astonishing, and it suits your temperament. His Highness has agreed to give it to you!”
He held it in his hand. It weighed about five pounds and was made of a special material, like it was refined from Gengjin stone and phoenix wood. He unfolded it and saw a painting of a hundred birds paying homage to a phoenix on the fan surface. A flock of birds danced around a golden phoenix, and the background was the sky.
Zhang Ronghua nodded in satisfaction and put it away. He smiled and said, “”Thanks!”
“Do we need to be so polite?”
He pointed at Lu Zhantang.
“Old Lu has been promoted. His Highness has informed the True Dragon Palace and His Majesty knows that he is now the Purple Dragon Emissary. However, he is the weakest and his strength doesn’t match. There were many people like him in the True Dragon Palace.”
“Thanks to Rong Hua,” said Lu Zhantang with a smile.”
“What about you?”
I’ll leave you the position of chief commander of the Eastern Palace’s guards, the Flood Dragon Guards, and the Crown Prince’s personal guards.” Ma Ping ‘an grinned. When you are on duty, His Highness will announce that wealth should be the same as mine.”
It was impolite not to reciprocate. They had sent over the oil and water from the “family extermination”, so Zhang Ronghua could not not remain silent. “Tomorrow, I’ll hold a banquet at home and bring your families over for a gathering..”
