Everything regarding the development of the Feng Imperial Dynasty has unfolded exactly as I anticipated. I only need to leave a few reliable disciples behind to serve as witnesses; everyone else is to be withdrawn. Firstly, for safety. Secondly—and most importantly—my own strength is paramount, and I must return to intensify my training.
Upon returning to Yunxiu City, once this literary competition concludes, I will organize a beauty pageant. Next year, I’ll have them arrange a martial arts tournament to see just how formidable the Xiantian Martial Artists of this world truly are. Then, I’ll simply wait for the year after that to eliminate the Crown Prince, plunge the entire Feng Imperial Dynasty into chaos, and seize my moment.
My return trip this time was a grand affair. After all, the Crown Prince was accompanying me, along with many ambitious youths and a host of elderly scholars. These were all men deeply versed in poetry and literature. They even brought along dozens of beauties to participate in the pageant. They were all young ladies from prominent noble families; there were truly no outstanding commoners among them. Perhaps if any existed, they had already been snatched up by those noble families to serve as concubines.
