Chapter 599: Chapter 46: Who in the World Can Match the Hero!

Everything Yuan Zhi had said was indeed without a shred of falsehood. He felt as if his very blood was about to ignite; he suddenly understood what it meant "to carry a jade dragon to death for one’s lord." Right then, his intense dreams blazed like flames.

The young general on the other side simply reached out his hand and pulled the young strategist up.

"What nonsense are you speaking?"

"If I were to die, and you foolishly followed by slicing your own throat, then the people would not know of Li Guanyi, nor of the Qilin Army, nor of our toils through night and day, nor of our charge across twenty thousand li in eight months, nor of our resolution."

"I rather think you should live on."

"Moreover, I might not necessarily fall. Who knows, I might even succeed?"

Li Guanyi licked his lips, planning something big. He patted Yuan Zhi on the shoulder, who then calmed down, and said, "If that is the case, it’s only the situation in Jiangnan. With my learning, given time, I can slowly implement it."

"But if our Lord wishes to swallow the world whole, tearing open a breach, please allow me to recommend a few individuals, one of whom is Wen Lingjun. This man possesses the Talent of the King and understands the great trends of the aristocratic families, capable of making the most fitting judgment for us; and then there are the three disciples of Mr. Wang Tong."

"These three excel in internal politics, law, and decision-making."

"These four individuals have noble and loyal character, are perceptive and just, talented as counsel to the king, and looked upon as heroes of their time."

"They possess the talents of a great ruler."

"For the rest, those who are talented, I will compile a list. When you go to the Academy, Lord, remember, remember to bring them along."

"Additionally, there is one more person."

Yuan Zhi seemed to recall and reported:

"That person is called Wen He, a gentleman from the Western Regions. If the other individuals have not yet won your favor, Lord, you may withdraw them without haste. But Wen He... if he disagrees, you can knock him out on the spot and drag him away."

"This individual will certainly disrupt your plans if left among others."

Li Guanyi noted everything down, then went off to attend to other various tasks, to pursue his Martial Arts.

He could only do his utmost in this era, reaching the limits of what he could achieve.

What he needed was more formidable personal Martial Arts, as well as to go to the Martial World, to the Academy, to recruit a group of disciples from this remote place, to support the vast area of Jiangnan, and then to foster a new generation of talents to truly establish himself.

There was still much to be done.

The spring breeze in Jiangnan gradually intensified, turning into summer.

The Qilin Army was orderly and its generals each had their own style.

Meanwhile, in Central State, a hundred men were marching toward Jiangnan in the grand fashion of ancient enfeoffed nobles, but these events had not yet reached Jiangnan immediately.

At the training grounds of the Qilin Army, Sword Madman Murong Longtu watched the young man and finally remarked, "Such poise, no longer like his initial appearance, eh?"

Siming sipped his tea leisurely and said:

"Great talents of the world are all forced out, step by step."

"Either they die unnoticed along the way, or under increasing pressure, they explode like flint struck by steel, bursting into flame."

Murong Longtu looked at Li Guanyi and others, then calmly inquired:

"That child, Shaking Light—is she the daughter of the Whale Hunter?"

Siming nodded, his lips quirking somewhat bizarrely as he replied:

"In the legends of Martial Arts, those with deeply hidden essence seldom have offspring. The Whale Hunter is the youngest among these legends. Famous for his romances, and his Innate Unleakable Body, also hailed as an invincible Martial Arts practitioner, he was handsome and once indulged greatly in passion."

"It resulted in him being ’caught’; he had a daughter."

"The fellow sat by the seaside for several months before accepting that he had a daughter, but for some reason, he refused to have her by his side."

"This child was merely a few years old when her father secretly left her at the doorstep of the Stargazing Lineage of the Three Sects of the World, and for many years thereafter, he seldom saw her."

"However, as far as I know, the Whale Hunter did go back to visit her."

"During Shaking Light’s childhood, the Whale Hunter dived into the sea and brought up a fist-sized Luminous Pearl for her birthday, disguised himself, and pretended not to recognize her, asking Shaking Light where her parents were. Immediately, the little girl answered that she had no parents."

"Whale Hunter seemed struck by this, and his mental state was greatly disturbed."

"Afterwards, he only watched her secretly, protected her from afar, and never acknowledged her."

Murong Longtu commented, "As always, such a contrary nature."

Siming sighed and mumbled, "It’s just like him, stubborn, self-centered, recklessly proud, cold on the surface but extreme inside, with superior Martial Arts skills. Considering Shaking Light and how things are going with Guanyi, things are likely to become complicated. You might as well..."

Sword Madman casually replied, "Hmm, Shaking Light will accompany me into the Martial World."

Siming had a headache, knowing well the nature of Sword Madman, who was never one to avoid trouble.

He then said, "What if that riles him up?"

"That man, although not one to kill recklessly, would certainly be furious and then take Shaking Light away."

Sword Madman indifferently said, "If the Whale Hunter comes, my sword will do the talking."

"As for taking her away."

"In this world, with my Green Blade in hand, where can I not find people?"
