Chapter 125 We need to burn more paper money for Old Ye.
Xie Yu was the first to react.
He stepped forward, his voice turning serious: "Lord Wu, we must make preparations as soon as possible."
Wu Feng looked at him.
Xie Yu's expression was solemn: "Your Highness's premarital pregnancy is no small matter. You may not know, but the three major workshops are incredibly tempting to others."
"The most crucial thing is your identity. We must resolve your identity issue first!"
These words brought the others back to their senses.
Jiang Fuhai nodded in agreement, his expression equally serious: "Lord Wu, Prefect Xie is right. If the child's father, that is, you, is of a high enough position, even if others want to make a fuss about this matter, they will have to think twice."
Chen Youliang remained silent for a few moments before slowly speaking: "The will of the people."
He raised his eyes, his tone serious: "Now that this matter has spread, it's difficult for the boss's status to improve in the short term. Therefore, we can only leverage public sentiment!"
The moment the words "public opinion" were uttered, everyone else's eyes widened in surprise.
Yes, the will of the people!
As long as the people approve, as long as the people of Qing Kingdom approve, any other rules will lose their effect.
Xie Yu turned to Wu Feng and solemnly said, "Lord Wu, leave this matter to us. You and His Highness should stay at the lakeside cottage and not show yourselves for now."
"It's July now, the flood season. Jiangbei experiences floods every year, so Suzhou is a good place to operate."
Chen Youliang nodded in agreement: "That's right. Every year when the flood season arrives, several counties along the north bank of the Yangtze River suffer from floods. Every year, a large number of disaster victims flock to the south bank, especially Suzhou."
Ye Baizhou stroked his chin: "With the addition of Qingyutang's distribution of porridge and medicine, the people's hearts will soon be won over."
Wang Ganju added, "The three major workshops can also cooperate. The end of July is the Ghost Festival, we can—"
Wu Feng watched as these people chatted amongst themselves, and in just a few words, they arranged things for him and Li Yunrui.
He stood there, dumbfounded.
But then, a feeling of being moved welled up inside me.
We still have to thank Old Ye for leaving behind so many loyal and talented people.
It seems I'll have to offer more incense and burn more paper money for Old Ye next time I go back to Kyoto.
He composed himself and said slowly, "You don't need to worry about this; I already have a solution."
Chen Youliang was slightly taken aback: "Does Master have a better solution than this?"
Everyone else looked at Wu Feng with curiosity.
Wu Feng remained silent.
He carried the embroidered spring knife and walked straight out of the main hall towards the lake.
Xie Yu and the others looked at each other in confusion and immediately followed.
Before long, the seven people arrived at the shore of Taihu Lake.
The lake water shimmered in the afternoon sun.
Wu Feng turned around and looked at Xie Yu and the other six people, who had their backs to Taihu Lake.
He held the Embroidered Spring Blade horizontally towards the lake, his tone calm: "My method is straightforward: overwhelming power. Whoever dares to make a move, I will kill."
The words fell.
Wu Feng circulated his Qi Meridian True Qi, and the powerful True Qi flowed through his meridians, pouring entirely into the Embroidered Spring Blade.
The next instant!
A thunderous sound exploded!
"boom!!!"
A powerful and domineering shockwave of true energy blasted out from the blade, crashing into Taihu Lake like a giant cannon!
A huge dent was smashed into the lake surface forty meters away, and waves exploded in all directions, splashing water several meters high!
The shockwaves crashed against the shore, one wave after another, and also pounded on the hearts of Xie Yu and the other six.
The six people stood on the shore, staring in disbelief at the still-unsettled lake.
Hearing the commotion, the maids in the courtyard immediately rushed over.
But Anita Mui arrived first and raised her hand to stop them, not allowing anyone to go over and disturb them.
The lakeside gradually quieted down.
Only the sound of waves crashing on the shore and the heavy breathing of the six people could be heard.
After a long while, Ye Baizhou finally spoke, his words slurred: "This—is this something a normal person could do?"
He turned to Wu Feng, his voice hoarse: "Master Dong, what rank are you now? Ninth rank? Or... the legendary Grandmaster?"
The others gradually recovered from their shock.
But the next moment, their faces showed shock again, and they all looked at Wu Feng.
Grandmaster?
Could it be that Wu Feng's martial arts realm has already reached the Grandmaster level?!
Wu Feng slowly withdrew his hand from the Embroidered Spring Blade.
He said calmly, "The power of a Grandmaster is far more terrifying than this. You can understand it this way—in this world today, below the Grandmaster level, I am invincible."
Jiang Fuhai was somewhat bewildered.
He had never seen a Grandmaster make a move, but Wu Feng's methods just now were beyond his comprehension.
But Wu Feng said that Grandmasters are even stronger than that.
"Are Grandmasters even more powerful than you?" he asked instinctively.
Wu Feng nodded: "Of course, reaching the Grandmaster realm isn't easy. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so few Grandmasters in this world."
Xie Yu and the others fell silent.
After a few breaths, Wu Feng asked again, "How is it? With my current strength, can I shut those people up?"
The six people still did not respond immediately.
After a long pause, Xie Yu finally spoke seriously: "Lord Wu, with your strength, you can indeed silence most people. But—this matter can be done even better."
"Go ahead," Wu Feng said, looking at him.
"It still comes down to the people's hearts." Xie Yu met his gaze. "Although your strength is enough to shut most people up, it would be best if your child with His Highness had a respectable and legitimate identity."
The others listened and nodded in agreement.
Wu Feng understood what they meant.
In this era, children born out of wedlock are always associated with some unpleasant topics.
He had only thought about silencing others before, but he hadn't thought of this.
"I agree to this matter."
A gentle voice came from not far away.
Everyone turned to look.
Li Yunrui, dressed in a plain white palace gown, was walking towards them.
The sunlight shone on her, making her face appear even whiter and more radiant.
Her slightly protruding belly was quite noticeable under her clothes, but it did not diminish her gentle and graceful demeanor in the slightest.
Xie Yu and the others quickly cupped their hands in greeting: "Your Highness."
Li Yunrui nodded slightly and walked to Wu Feng's side.
She raised her hand, her slender fingers gently caressing Wu Feng's cheek, a gentle smile appearing at the corner of her eyes.
Those alluring eyes were now filled with a gentle light.
"My children deserve the best."
Wu Feng held her hand, his palm pressed against the warm back of her hand.
"Your Highness, rest assured."
He turned to Xie Yu and the others, his tone calm but serious: "Do as you say. If you need any support, just tell me, but—the people's hearts must rest on Your Highness's shoulders."
""
The group was puzzled and was about to say something when Wu Feng interrupted them.
"Do as I say." Wu Feng's words were unquestionable. "Popular support is a double-edged sword. It's not suitable for me, but it's suitable for Her Highness, because she is the eldest princess. Even if the people's hearts are with Her Highness, in the eyes of the world, Her Highness is still just the eldest princess. Do you understand?"
Xie Yu and his six companions were immediately alarmed. They understood the meaning behind Wu Feng's words. The six looked at each other and replied in unison, "Please rest assured, Your Highness and Master!"
After Xie Yu and the others left, Wu Feng put his arm around Li Yunrui's plump waist, and the two stood on the shore, looking at the boundless Taihu Lake.
Li Yunrui leaned against Wu Feng, her voice soft and charming: "Hmm—I can already foresee the shock and anger of those people when this matter reaches the capital."
"Fun!"
"How interesting!"
[Ding~ Mood value +500!]
"Your Highness, didn't you say you wanted the world to know who the goddess of Qing Kingdom really is? This is your chance." Wu Feng's voice was soft, but it seemed to be filled with deep calculation.
Li Yunrui paused for a moment, then a beautiful but sickly smile appeared on her face.
