Qin Qingfeng and Prince Jingkang reveal their need for Chen Yang's medical skills to treat the Old Emperor. Chen Yang is presented with two choices: help them or remain confined. After some hesitation and a tempting offer of a rare cultivation technique, Chen Yang reluctantly agrees to intervene in the Dajing Dynasty's affairs, seeing it as a way to gain a valuable favor and escape his current predicament.

Qin Qingfeng didn’t keep them in suspense this time. He looked toward the south and said, "This place is only five hundred li from the Da Jing Capital. At most, it’s a one- or two-day journey."

"But we can’t set out now. There are still many things we need to prepare."

"Elder Qin, what else do you need to prepare?" Jing Kang asked.

Qin Qingfeng smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness, when we head for the Capital, we’re not going to sneak in."

"I’m going to send you back to the Capital in broad daylight, with full legitimacy."

As soon as Qin Qingfeng said this, everyone present was utterly shocked.

Chen Yang included.

"Huh? But the Capital is already completely under the Python King’s control. How are we supposed to go?" Tu Qi asked in surprise.

"That’s not difficult." Qin Qingfeng shook his head and paced slowly as he said, "Just now I analyzed the current situation you described."

"The entire Dajing Dynasty is not completely under the Python King’s control."

"If my guess is right, the Dajing Dynasty is now split into three factions."

"Two of them are you and the Python King. The third is the wavering faction that can’t decide either way."

"Right now you’ve been excluded from the Capital. You can’t go in to see your imperial father, and you can’t openly tear your face with the Python King."

"You’re at an absolute disadvantage. I estimate that this third faction is currently leaning more toward the Python King."

"If this drags on, you will definitely lose."

"My coming down from the mountain this time is precisely to help you build momentum and return to the Capital openly and righteously."

"Once we do that, the third faction will have no choice but to take you seriously, and the Python King definitely won’t dare act rashly."

"No matter what, you are the Crown Prince of the Dajing Dynasty. Would he really dare, in front of the whole world, to kill you?"

Qin Qingfeng laid out his analysis and his plan one by one.

Hearing this, Jing Kang nodded repeatedly, very much in agreement.

Chen Yang also listened closely.

He felt that Qin Qingfeng was indeed worthy of being a descendant of the royal clan; his understanding of the structure of power and his grasp of human hearts were extremely insightful.

"Elder Qin, what you say makes sense, but under the Python King’s command, experts are as numerous as clouds. If we enter the Capital like this, it’ll be extremely dangerous." Jing Kang still had concerns.

But when Qin Qingfeng heard this, he instead burst out laughing and said, "In my view, that’s not difficult at all."

"I just said, the third faction has been wavering because among them are quite a few who support you or are loyal to your imperial father."

"They’re currently under the Python King’s control and haven’t spoken out only because you haven’t appeared."

"If you, the legitimate Crown Prince, show yourself and raise your arm to call them, those loyal to your imperial father will definitely respond and support you."

"In that case, even if you can’t immediately stand on equal footing with the Python King, at the very least he won’t dare deal with you so easily."

"Once you have the capital to gain a foothold in the Capital, you’ll have the qualifications to contend for the throne. Otherwise, if the Old Emperor passes away and he already controls the Capital, everything will be too late."

"As for the initial strength, you don’t need to worry."

"My Qin Family may have declined, but we still have some foundation. There are still quite a few strong cultivators in the village. If Your Highness then gathers some of your former subordinates, going to the Capital City won’t be difficult."

Qin Qingfeng spoke again, offering Jing Kang his strategies.

After listening to Qin Qingfeng’s words, Jing Kang suddenly understood.

What had seemed a completely dark future to him was, in an instant, lit up with a great streak of brightness.

"Elder Qin, you speak with reason. I’ll carry out your plan at once." Jing Kang said excitedly.

"Mm." Qin Qingfeng nodded with a smile, then directly took out a piece of Parchment from his chest and handed it to Jing Kang.

"Your Highness, this is a map of this forest. Follow the red line on it and you’ll be able to get out and reach the frontier city of the Dajing Dynasty, Bianbei City."

"Go gather your old subordinates first. Three days from now, I will lead the strong cultivators of the village to rendezvous with you, and then we will advance on the Capital City together."

Qin Qingfeng spoke with a solemn expression.

"Alright. Elder Qin, you’ve gone to such trouble—Jing Kang will never forget such great kindness for the rest of his life." Jing Kang said gratefully.

"Go then, Your Highness. Save those words for after the matter is accomplished." Qin Qingfeng nodded and saw Jing Kang out of the stone house.

"Mm, then I’ll be off."

Outside the house, the group exchanged a few more simple words and then Jing Kang left first.

Chen Yang and Tu Qi, on the other hand, were kept back by Qin Qingfeng.

"Little friend, do you know why this old man kept the two of you behind?" After seeing Jing Kang off, Qin Qingfeng suddenly asked Chen Yang with a smile.

"Tch, isn’t it just that you don’t trust us and want to keep us here so we don’t blow your plans?" Tu Qi said directly.

Chen Yang didn’t speak, but he was thinking the same thing in his heart.

Yet Qin Qingfeng only smiled and shook his head.

"No? Then why did you keep us?" Tu Qi asked, a bit puzzled.

"Because I know that meridian backlash is no small problem. To cure it, you must use a great many rare spiritual materials and refine them into a Loosening Muscle Great Returning Pill."

"You definitely don’t have that many medicinal ingredients on you."

Qin Qingfeng said.

Hearing this, Chen Yang’s heart jolted again.

He’d been figured out yet again...

How meticulous was this old man’s mind, that everything seemed to be within his calculations.

Whatever anyone was thinking, he could guess it all.

Thinking of this, for the first time a trace of fear toward Qin Qingfeng arose in Chen Yang’s heart.

One must know, when Qin Qingfeng had previously displayed his powerful strength, Chen Yang hadn’t felt this way.

It’s precisely someone who calculates everything and sees through everything that is truly terrifying.

"So what then?" Chen Yang forced himself to remain calm and asked Qin Qingfeng back.

"So I kept you here in Qin Mountain Village to collect spiritual materials as ingredients for refining the Loosening Muscle Great Returning Pill, so that once we enter the Capital, you won’t have to trouble us again." Qin Qingfeng said.

"I see." Chen Yang nodded slightly, then said, "But we’re not familiar with the surroundings at all, so what now?"

"Don’t worry about that. Of course I’ll arrange for someone to take you into the mountains—but not today. It’s getting late today. Settle in first. Tomorrow I’ll have someone take you up the mountain." As Qin Qingfeng finished speaking, he formed a hand seal with one hand, and at once a butterfly of Spiritual Energy condensed in his palm and flew out.

A method of sending messages...

Not long after, two middle-aged aunties came over, smiling.

"Village Chief, what is it?"

"Lanhua, Xiuqing, these two young friends will be staying in our village for two days. Arrange lodging for them—make sure they eat and drink well." Qin Qingfeng said with a smile.

"Yes, Village Chief."

"Alright then, you two young friends, go and rest for now. Within the village you can walk around as you please. Outside the village is fine too, just don’t go too far."

"There are many Formations in these mountains, and much mist as well. If you get lost, it will be very hard to find your way."

Qin Qingfeng turned back with a smile and spoke to Chen Yang and Tu Qi.

Hearing this, Tu Qi’s face showed surprise. "Village Chief, you’re just going to let us leave the village like that? Aren’t you afraid we’ll run off?"

"Hehe, I’m very accurate in reading people. Since you’ve promised me and the Crown Prince, I believe you’ll definitely keep your word."

Qin Qingfeng said with a smile.

Tu Qi did not respond.

And Chen Yang also said nothing at all; he simply turned and left Qin Qingfeng’s stone house together with the two aunties, heading to another building in the village.

The structure of this building was definitely considered luxurious within the village.

Made entirely of wood, compared to the stone houses it looked much more refined.

Walking inside, many of the furnishings and such were all solid wood as well, very convenient.

This was the room the two aunties had arranged for the two of them.
