Chapter 298: Formation, Success
Seeing Feng Yan like this, Chu Ci did not give him a direct affirmative answer, but asked: "Then tell me why not?"
"Feng Yan, you have been trapped by the so-called family mission and responsibility for a long time, but she is not like that. Why can't she make her own choices in life?"
Tied? Is that so?
Feng Yan's mind gradually regained clarity, but his face was full of confusion.
"Me?" Feng Yan pretended to hesitate, "But there are differences between men and women, and my daughter is grown up. It is really inconvenient for me to communicate with her."
Chu Ci frowned and said seriously: "You are relatives, blood is thicker than water."
"Although it's a good thing to have rules for men and women to get along with each other, if we are so restricted by the rules that we can't even have normal communication, then there's no need for them, right?"
"Family members should be honest with each other and understand each other. Why should they be framed by red tape?"
Feng Yanchang sighed and said with a sad look: "I know this truth, but the problem has already been created. It is extremely difficult to change it now. It is not easy at all."
Chu Ci's eyes fixed when he heard this, and he finally understood Feng Yan's plan. "So, you want to throw your daughter to me. Is your plan very sound? Do I look so easy to fool?"
Feng Yan waved his hands quickly and denied it eagerly: "Boss, you misunderstood, I have absolutely no such intention."
"I just want you to understand that my proposal does not mean any harm to you. I, Feng Yan, can swear to heaven, really!"
Chu Ci was full of doubts. Could these two topics be discussed together?
She was about to ask when she saw Fan Jingrui standing next to her looking as if he was used to it.
Chu Ci could only hold back, gritting his teeth and saying, "Feng Yan, let's put your daughter's matter on hold for now. Let's talk about your previous proposal first. This is the top priority right now, and there is no time to delay."
Unexpectedly, Feng Yan misunderstood and instantly looked embarrassed. "If you don't want to, I won't force you."
"I...I sincerely hope that you can help my daughter. She is smart, kind, and very sensible. If I can get some advice from you..."
Chu Ci quickly called out to stop, "Speak more seriously."
Feng Yan knew Chu Ci's character very well and understood that if he didn't settle this matter at this time.
Afterwards, she might forget about it completely.
So Feng Yan pretended not to understand Chu Ci's call to stop, and continued: "Why don't you take my daughter as your apprentice and teach her on your behalf?"
"I am a young girl, full of hope for the future but confused and helpless. If I can get guidance from a master like you, Qiu'er will have fewer setbacks in the future. I hope you can help me. Feng Yan would like to thank you in advance."
Chu Ci sighed helplessly: "Let me think about it."
Feng Yan knew that Chu Ci had agreed, and he was overjoyed. His heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down, and he no longer deliberately avoided the question.
His expression straightened up, and he said with a firm gaze, "Then let's get started. We should act sooner rather than later. If they react first and take action in advance, we will be the ones in the passive position. We must seize the initiative to have a chance of winning."
"Start now? Don't we need to be fully prepared?" Hearing Feng Yan say this, Fan Jingrui, who had been silent, could not help but get anxious. He frowned and said anxiously, "How can such an important matter be handled so hastily? Or, Lord Feng, have you already prepared?"
Feng Yan did not explain, but said seriously: "Please follow me, both of you."
Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui looked at each other and saw doubt in each other's eyes, but they still followed Feng Yan. Along the way, the three of them were silent, and the atmosphere was a little solemn. Finally, the three of them came to the secret room under the Feng family ancestral hall.
Feng Yan stood at the door of the secret room and said slowly: "This is the opportunity that the Feng family ancestor tried his best to fight for Da Zhou before he left. The ancestor had repeatedly warned us not to use it unless it was absolutely necessary. But now, the situation is urgent and we can't care about much anymore."
"What is this?" Chu Ci looked at the Udumbara flower in the center of the formation that was exactly the same as the one in the space. He couldn't help but widen his eyes, with disbelief written all over his face.
She was even in a trance for a moment, as if she was being pulled by an invisible and mysterious force. That force was like a call from ancient times, with an indescribable, addictive magic that seemed to absorb people's souls.
In fact, Chu Ci's feeling was not wrong. The moment she stretched out her hand, she seemed to be mysteriously bewitched, as if she was dragged by an invisible big hand, and involuntarily entered the center of the formation.
At the same time, Feng Yan knew that the time was urgent and there was no room for hesitation. His eyes instantly became extremely determined. He quickly pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist and scraped it towards his palm without hesitation.
Blood gushed out, and Feng Yan immediately muttered something. The low and rapid spell seemed to come from the mysterious whispers of ancient times. His hands quickly formed seals, and his finger movements kept changing like a phantom.
In an instant, the light of the formation became brighter, like a bright sun blooming, and a force so powerful that it was suffocating gushed out, as if it was going to break through all the constraints in this world.
At the same time, in the imperial palace, the headquarters of the Embroidered Uniform Law Enforcement, the office of the Jingzhao Yin, and government offices throughout the Great Zhou, many people seemed to have been in chaos and confusion, with heavy heads, as if they were not aware of the existence of certain problems at all, as if they were shrouded in a thick fog.
However, at this moment, suddenly, those problems that had been ignored or unnoticed appeared clearly in their minds, as if the fog had been blown away by a gust of wind, shocking them and making them suddenly realize.
Especially the emperor who was having dinner in the Queen's Palace. The chopsticks that were originally picking up the dishes elegantly fell to the ground with a click, making a crisp sound, which seemed particularly abrupt in this quiet palace.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" The Queen asked anxiously with a panicked look on her face, her voice trembling.
Seeing that the emperor did not respond, the queen suddenly turned pale and turned to Zhang Rang who was standing beside her and shouted, "Quick, call the imperial physician--"
Zhang Rang also had a look of panic and trepidation on his face, with beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead.
But before he could respond, the emperor came to his senses and stopped him.
"Come back, I'm fine." Although the emperor's voice was no longer as steady and powerful as usual, it was at least a little more energetic.
When the queen saw that the emperor had returned to normal, her eyes turned red, tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice became tearful.
But she still advised earnestly: "Your Majesty, you are related to the country and the well-being of all the people in the world. You should call the imperial physician to take a closer look, so that I can rest assured. I am really worried about your health."
