"..."
Previously, Wei Hongfang hadn’t reacted much.
But when he spoke these words, Wei Hongfang couldn’t help it, his emotions changed, causing several veins to bulge on his forehead, and his breathing became a bit rushed.
Wei Hongfang wasn’t born with deformities; he only lost them when he became a eunuch.
Perhaps in the entire Great Qian court, few people know about this.
In fact, before becoming a eunuch, before the crude knife cut, Wei Hongfang had already broken through to the Innate Realm.
Given Wei Hongfang’s age back then, breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm was actually quite possible.
But!
Back then, Wei Hongfang was a guard by Yan Fuhai’s side, but people always desire more, always want to climb higher, a guard isn’t able to get close enough.
It was also Wei Hongfang who was overly greedy for power.
He directly chose to cut himself, becoming a eunuch by Yan Fuhai’s side.
He severed his path to becoming a Grandmaster.
In some sense, this was also Wei Hongfang’s way of showing loyalty to Yan Fuhai, so later, Yan Fuhai valued Wei Hongfang greatly, eventually elevating him to the position of Grandmaster.
But saying it now.
It only stirs Wei Hongfang’s dissatisfaction.
People don’t like introspection; they prefer to blame others for their mistakes.
The current Wei Hongfang is no different.
In order to show loyalty, I severed my path to becoming a Grandmaster, just to serve by your side, but now, as I grow older, my skills start to deteriorate, and you just kick me aside?
What’s the reasoning behind this?
What was the point of those things I did in my younger years, was it just to amuse you?
"Huff!"
The more he thinks about it.
The deeper Wei Hongfang’s resentment grows.
"Calm down!"
Seeing that Wei Hongfang’s inner strength began to become turbulent and uncontrollable.
Fu Zhengqing’s mouth curved into a slight smile.
Clearly aware that his words had been effective, if this was the result he wanted.
He placed his hand on Wei Hongfang’s shoulder, using his Grandmaster inner strength to calm Wei Hongfang down.
Although the people searching for Wei Hongfang wouldn’t dare come to the Prime Minister’s Mansion looking for someone, it’s always best to avoid additional trouble at this time, it’s better to restrain oneself.
"..."
Wei Hongfang didn’t respond.
But the inner strength around him gradually stabilized.
Feeling Fu Zhengqing’s inner strength, he smiled self-deprecatingly.
"This is the power of a Grandmaster? It is indeed strong!"
Just inner strength alone made it impossible for me to resist.
But who knows, back then, I too had the chance to reach this realm.
If only I had known.
I might as well have stayed as a guard.
"Huff!"
Thinking of this, Wei Hongfang slowly exhaled a turbid breath, not dwelling further on it.
When he lifted his head again, his gaze became serious.
"What do you plan to do?"
"We alone can’t deal with Yan Fuhai!"
Seeing this side of Wei Hongfang, Fu Zhengqing understood that he had succeeded.
Wei Hongfang’s expression clearly showed agreement to help him deal with Yan Fuhai together.
"Don’t worry, of course, we’re not the only ones!"
Fu Zhengqing wasn’t foolish.
How could he possibly join forces with only Wei Hongfang to deal with Yan Fuhai?
"However, before that, you need to tell me what exactly is wrong with Yan Fuhai’s body!"
Although knowing that Yan Fuhai’s body had problems, at any moment a Land Immortal, but that cultivation couldn’t be used freely.
But what exactly is the problem, Fu Zhengqing doesn’t know.
He is inherently cautious.
These matters.
Fu Zhengqing naturally wants to get to the bottom of it.
"..."
Wei Hongfang was still somewhat hesitant.
Saying such a thing, he wouldn’t have any way back.
Yan Fuhai would certainly not let him go.
Seeing Wei Hongfang’s silence, Fu Zhengqing didn’t rush him, instead patiently waited, obviously confident that Wei Hongfang would make the right choice.
Finally,
After a moment of silence, Wei Hongfang still raised his head to look at Fu Zhengqing.
"After getting rid of Yan Fuhai, I must return to the position of Nine Thousand Years!"
His martial arts future was already stagnant.
The position of Nine Thousand Years, Wei Hongfang absolutely doesn’t want to lose it just like that.
"Rest assured!"
Fu Zhengqing understood in his heart.
He spoke naturally.
"In all of Great Qian, no one is more suited than you for the position of Nine Thousand Years, moreover, we inherently have no conflicting interests, right?"
The previous confrontations were entirely because of Yan Fuhai.
But if there were no Yan Fuhai.
The Prime Minister manages the court, Nine Thousand Years manages the palace, clearly, they shouldn’t have any interactions, hence naturally there should be no conflict!
Wei Hongfang looked at Fu Zhengqing for a while and then nodded.
He seemed to trust Fu Zhengqing’s response.
Then he slowly spoke.
"I’m not very clear about the specifics, you also know, someone like Yan Fuhai wouldn’t truly trust a person with all his secrets!"
Fu Zhengqing wasn’t suspicious of this.
He just quietly waited for Wei Hongfang to continue speaking!
Then.
Wei Hongfang briefly spoke about what he knew, like how Yan Fuhai couldn’t freely use his cultivation, spent most of his time healing, although not know what kind of injuries he’s healing.
