A few of them were taken aback, and Zhou Ziling shook his head, thinking that Qin Feng was speaking arrogantly. However, Ning Caichen believed him, praising Brother Qin's boldness. He firmly stated, "If I am not allowed to participate in the Provincial Examination, I will beat the drum of injustice. I refuse to believe there is no place for reason."
Zhou Ziling and the others stared at Ning Caichen, seemingly accepting that he would actually do such a thing. They exchanged glances and smiled bitterly. Zhou Ziling clasped his fists towards Ning Caichen and Qin Feng, filled with apologies. "Ning Brother, Brother Qin, it’s all our fault for dragging you into this."
Qin Feng glanced at the three of them; their character was decent. He smiled and said, "It's nothing. I believe that as a person, one shouldn't be so petty as to block another's path over a few words."
Ning Caichen's eyes lit up. "Right! Have we underestimated the capacity of others?"
Zhou Ziling sighed bitterly and looked around before whispering, "Brother Qin, it is said that that person is vengeful and does not forgive easily."
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow and nodded slightly. Shortly after, Zhou Ziling and the others hurried away; they felt it was best to inform Fu Zun.
After finishing their meal, Qin Feng and Ning Caichen each took some time to rest. It must be said that Ning Caichen had a big heart; he didn’t take this matter to heart at all.
In a luxurious mansion adorned with small bridges and flowing water, a young man dressed in Jin Yi was playing chess with an elderly man with a head full of white hair by the pavilion near the pond.
"Wu Lao," the young man said, "the Provincial Examination is approaching. If I can win the title of Jie Yuan again, will my Destiny Energy transform into Carp form?" His expression was serious.
The old man leisurely made a move on the chessboard and glanced at him. "That’s not enough; you must gather all those who have made the list under your Destiny Energy."
The young man's brow furrowed. "I have only subdued half of the candidates; I don’t know how many will actually make the list."
The old man shook his head. "Ordinary Xiu Cai's Destiny Energy won’t do; only those who become Jinshi can cause your Destiny Energy to undergo transformation."
A trace of anger flashed in the young man's eyes. "Wasn't it said that Fu Zun from Qingshan Mansion has the smallest courage? How could he directly reject my request?"
The old man chuckled lightly. "Da Li's vitality is still strong; naturally, there are many loyal ministers."
The young man's expression darkened as a fierce glint flickered in his eyes. "Should I just eliminate those candidates who refuse to submit?"
The old man’s eyes glimmered with appreciation, but he shook his head and said, "It won’t work. Even if your methods allow those ordinary Scholars to make the list, their Destiny Energy is too weak to be of much help to you. This is also why I do not agree with your plan to buy off the Fu Zun."
The young man furrowed his brow. "So we just have to wait? If they become Jinshi, it will be even harder to subdue them."
A cold glint flashed in the old man's eyes. "The competition for Destiny Energy is ruthless; one can even seize fortune from the dead."
The young man was taken aback. "You mean killing Scholars is completely different from killing Jinshi? He’s not a reckless person; he knows the stakes."
The old man picked up a chess piece and toyed with it, saying lightly, "I recall there’s a Tiger King on Dafeng Mountain, isn’t there?"
The young man instantly caught on, his face lighting up with excitement. "How did I not think of that? Yes, it’s quite normal for the Tiger King to kill some Jinshi."
The old man smiled and nodded, choosing not to elaborate further.
A sinister look crossed the young man's face. "Then we’ll wait until after the Provincial Examination to take action. They will come to serve my purpose."
