"Jiang Kungming is no ordinary person." Old Lady Fang said resolutely: "I have met him three times, and each time I see him, my fear increases a little more."

  Fang Mingshen's face turned red, the remnants of the previous wave had not yet completely dissipated, and his voice was actually a little hoarse: "General Jiang?"

  Mrs. Fang's eyes sparkled with excitement, yet mixed with a hint of danger: "I have never seen anyone like this before, whether it's astronomy and geography, or the various schools of thought - he seems to know everything, to be all-knowing. With limited energy in one's lifetime, how is it possible for someone to grasp so many things?"

  The flush on Fang's face completely disappeared, leaving behind a pale complexion that sent chills down one's spine: "Third Uncle also said that General Jiang is as high as the sky, and ordered Sun to serve him with the etiquette due to a teacher."

  Shaking her head, Old Lady Fang coldly smiled and said: "I've lived for over 80 years, but I've rarely seen such an extraordinary talent. This Jiang Kongming not only has exceptional academic achievements, thinking he's the best in the world, but also constantly breaks new ground, discovering things that others haven't thought of before, and often achieves astonishing results. Once or twice might be a coincidence, but if it happens every time, then it can't be just luck - could it be that he really can see into the future?"

  A chill ran through Jiang Kongming's heart as he thought back on the past year, and everywhere he looked, he felt a sense of freshness that was both surprising and delightful.

  Taking the army as an example, whether it is the introduction of sand tables or the establishment of military schools, it is a magnificent achievement. As a soldier, he naturally knows its benefits and has a deep understanding.

  Apart from this, the application of earth steel, the birth of grafting method, the creation of new-style weapons, and the emergence of high-concentration white wine, etc. stunning achievements quietly rose in Wulong City within a short year, bringing them countless wealth and fame.

  If all these are superficial changes, then there is still a place that even he cannot enter, and perhaps it is where the true secret of the Black Flag Army lies. He really wants to take a look at what's inside the research institute, but he knows that even if he were to face Xi Hai Feng, he can't make such a request.

  It was clear that Old Lady Fang had not finished speaking, she took a deep breath and said: "If all of this is attributed to his rare talent in a thousand years, what really makes me fearful is that he has a pair of eyes that can see through people's hearts."

  "See through people's hearts?" Unconsciously, these few words kept repeating in Feng Xiang's mouth.

  "Not bad, as long as he's staring at you with those eyes of his, it feels like there's nowhere to hide." Fang Lao Tai shivered, as if recalling those bright eyes again: "Having spoken with him three times, I can clearly sense that he is a stubborn and unyielding man who has his own persistence and stance, and will not submit to anyone. How could such a person be loyal to someone?"

  It is said that when Jiang Dajun was in a desperate situation, Meng Erdi saved him, and from then on he followed Meng Erdi.

  "A life-saving favor? I'm afraid it's the only explanation. " Fang Lao Tai suddenly revealed a hint of sarcasm: "I don't know if Feng Er is dull and ignorant or has the magnanimity to tolerate all kinds of people, but he can actually use such a person with peace of mind. If it were me, the first thing I would do is behead him."

  Upon hearing this murderous remark, Feng Ming's heart skipped a beat and he took a deep breath before saying: "Second Brother's magnanimity far surpasses that of ordinary people; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to ascend to the position of Sect Master."

  "Hmm... this person is like a sharp double-edged sword, and if he's not careful, he'll end up hurting himself. In today's world, perhaps the only thing that can restrain him is the wind.

  Old Lady Fang's emotions were slightly stirred: 'As long as the wind is alive, he might be completely loyal, but if one day the wind dies, with this person around, there will definitely be great changes. Either he'll die a tragic death or he'll become king himself, there's no third path for him to take.'"

  "Second Brother, being a Sect Master and all, shouldn't be shorter-lived than him, right?" Fang Ming's face was rather peculiar, as Xu Haifeng wasn't just any new Sect Master, but also practiced the Quiet Heart Technique, renowned for prolonging one's lifespan.

  Just looking at Taiyi Zhenren, who is over 110 years old and still lively, it can be known that Xu Haifeng is not a short-lived person. If it is said that his lifespan will not be as long as Jiang Kongming, who is older than him, even if he cuts off the head of the directional bird, he would not believe it.

  Mrs Fang only nodded heavily and didn't entangle with him on this issue, because even she herself had never believed in this assumption.

  "Zhi'er, I've told you so much, have you understood my meaning?" Fang Lao Tai looked at him, her pair of old eyes, hazy and dim, seemed like a sharp sword piercing deeply into Zhi'er's heart.

  The glimmer of hope and anger in his heart suddenly dissipated, no longer existing. His face was still pale, but his voice was firm as steel: "Son understands, Fang's family and second brother have long been prosperous and disastrous, sharing honor and shame, no longer distinguishing between each other."

  The old lady nodded in satisfaction and said, "Tell Zhi'er that the matter of opening up the imperial examination, as mentioned by Jiang Gongming, must not be obstructed again."

  "Yes..." Direction respectfully said.

  "Dong Zirui and Cheng Xuanfeng are heroes of their generation, they can save a country from danger, but Jiang Kungming, he is a man who can change an era. You must remember, as long as Jiang Kungming lives, the Fang family will never turn against Feng'er."

  At the time of the direction of the retreat, he faintly heard his aunt's muttering in his ear, but because the voice was too low, he didn't hear clearly.

  The old lady said, if Dong Zhongshu had usurped the throne and seized power back then, would Program Xuanfeng have set foot in the sect, and would they still have today's friendship?

  Xu Haifeng remained silent for a long time, and he could deeply feel the loneliness and sorrow contained in Jiang Kongming's words.

  The combat strength of the Blood Wine Warriors is beyond doubt, they are powerful and almost invincible. They fear no hardship, know no pain, they are taciturn, obeying only orders, they are the best soldiers, the strongest warriors.

  But their lives were the darkest and most uninteresting.

  They are a group of puppets manipulated by invisible strings, they have lost their own thoughts and judgment, they are almost a group of living dead.

  Perhaps the only difference is that this group of living dead can bring endless power and benefits to their masters.

  Unfortunately, being a Blood Wine Warrior, if I were just an ordinary type of ignorant and unaware person, muddled every day, not knowing what to do, that would be fine.

  But what about Jiang Gongming?

  What about this Zhuge Kongming who is renowned as the number one wise and knowledgeable person in the world, who is said to be all-knowing?

  If one clearly knows their situation but cannot resist or change the fate arranged for them, what kind of feeling will they have?

  It wasn't until now that Xu Haifeng suddenly realized why Jiang Kungming's nature was not frivolous, yet he liked to tease people for fun. The reason is that he wanted to maintain his cheerful and optimistic mood at all times.

  If it were easy to get along with each other, Xu Haifeng would comfort himself by asking, but he was afraid that there might not be the conviction to live on anymore.

  Suddenly, a sense of foreboding rose in Xu Haifeng's heart, and a dark, almost silent breath quickly filled the entire space. The powerful dark force was like a huge, invisible fishing net that tightly grasped Xu Haifeng.

  What made him extremely astonished was that this evil and ferocious aura was actually emitted by the military advisor Jiang, who was standing in front of him and didn't know any martial arts at all.

  Inside, there were countless kinds of delusions, including heartbreak, sorrow, helplessness, and cruelty. If Xu Haifeng hadn't reached the realm of a grandmaster, an ordinary person would have already gone mad by now, and it wouldn't be surprising if they had even cut their own throat.

  Xu Haifeng silently watched the man who seemed to have transformed into a demon from hell, although he knew that he would absolutely not harm himself, his own strength still involuntarily gathered. His spiritual power guarded his heart and soul, allowing that evil force to constantly impact him, yet remaining unmoved.

  After a moment, that boundless killing aura suddenly dispersed, just as it had come, leaving people bewildered and at a loss.

  Jiang Kongming stretched his waist and took out a feather fan, smiling and fanning himself, saying: "Ah, it's so comfortable. These words have been pent up in the students' hearts for so many days, today I finally let them all out, it feels like I've put down a heavy burden, it's incredibly relaxing."

  As that dark energy dissipated, Xu Haifeng's spirit also relaxed. He paused for a moment, bowed deeply and said: "Sorry."

  Three short words have already surpassed thousands of words and expressed everything he thinks in his heart.

  Jiang Kongming smiled slightly and accepted his courtesy, saying: "A student's life is saved by the master, naturally he will risk his life for him. Moreover, such an opportunity is hard to come by, others can't even ask for it."

  Xu Haifeng lowered his head slightly, but in those calm eyes, a faint warmth flashed by quietly.

  "The student knows, Master, is it strange that the students can learn this spiritual control ability, or not?" Jiang Kongming's proud smile hung on his face, bringing a bit of vitality to that seemingly plain face.

  Following his tone, Xu Haifeng nodded with a smile.

  Jiang Kung-ming spoke with a pleased smile.

  He used his mind-reading skills to see through people's hearts while also sensing their mental state.

  Being with this cunning Zhuge Liang, it's rare not to be nervous and cautious. Once he sees through your mind, the shock is beyond words. So, most of the emotions that Zhuge Kongming comes into contact with belong to the dark side.

  The power accumulated day by day and month by month is not to be underestimated.

  Finally, Jiang Gongming mysteriously said: "Master, when the student met with Fang Lao Tai, he had discovered a secret. Do you know who is the paternal grandfather of Fang Xiang Ming and Fang Yingying?"

  He saw him shaking his head in ignorance, Jiang Gongming laughed extremely strangely, and from his mouth, he lightly spat out a name that Xu Haifeng absolutely did not expect.

  Cheng Xuanfeng.
