I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 248: Chapter 128: Celestial White Jade Capital, Destiny True Dragon

Although his Cultivation was only at the Peak of the True Qi Realm, his ability to manifest his Primordial Spirit was the most outstanding feature.

Manifesting a Primordial Spirit at any point below the Celestial Realm was an incredibly stunning feat, let alone doing so in the True Qi Realm.

This point alone was more than enough!

Having taken this step, breaking through to higher levels of Cultivation would not be a major issue.

Especially when it came to one day reaching the Celestial Realm.

This step was of the utmost importance!

For someone so young to have such potential was extremely rare, even in the entire Great Jing.

He would be considered exceptionally outstanding even in the Jade Capital, a city teeming with prodigies.

’His vital energy and blood far exceed the True Qi Realm. It seems he’s cultivated some top-tier Horizontal Refining Martial Arts. His True Qi is also exceptionally pure. Hmm, not bad!’

The more Hong Xuanji looked at Fang Xing, the more satisfied he became. His gaze softened, and a rare smile even graced his usually placid, expressionless face.

He had seen many geniuses in his time, but few were worthy of his notice.

Steward Wang, who was in the middle of pouring tea for Fang Xing, caught this sight, and his heart skipped a beat.

’The Lord’s smile...’

’Does this mean... he approves of him?!’

As the thought flashed through his mind, Steward Wang grew even more astonished.

’With the Lord’s status and power, there were very few people who could earn his approval.’

’Even within the heart of the Capital City, few were worthy of his attention.’

’That look wasn’t just for Hong Miaojin’s sake; he genuinely approved of Fang Xing.’

He could tell that much, at least.

"Jin’Er has told me about you," Hong Xuanji said, breaking the silence. "Hmm, not bad. You are a brilliant talent."

"You flatter me, my lord. I owe my current achievements entirely to Lady Hong Miaojin’s favor and guidance."

Fang Xing smoothly delivered a piece of flattery.

At his words, Hong Miaojin’s smile grew radiant. She looked smugly at Hong Xuanji. "So? My judgment isn’t bad, is it?"

Hong Xuanji smiled. "It is quite good. Fang Xing, are you married?"

"PFFT... COUGH, COUGH!"

Hearing Hong Xuanji’s abrupt change of topic, Fang Xing couldn’t help but spray out the tea he had just sipped.

He shot to his feet. "My apologies, my lord. The tea was a bit hot. I’ve been rude."

"It’s nothing. Sit. Now that you’re here, there’s no need to be so formal," Hong Xuanji said, smiling at him.

Fang Xing wiped the corner of his mouth and sat back down.

"From the looks of it, you’re not married yet, are you?"

Fang Xing nodded. "I have not been betrothed, my lord, and haven’t yet considered the matter."

"Hmm, a man should have ambition. Very good."

"You know, Jin’Er has never brought anyone home before. It seems things will be a bit more lively this year."

Hong Xuanji was all smiles.

Hearing this, Hong Miaojin’s face flushed red.

"Dad, don’t get the wrong idea! I just value him as a person."

"Mm, I know. He’s quite handsome," Hong Xuanji nodded.

Hong Miaojin: "..."

Fang Xing: "..."

’Good grief, woman, the more you talk, the worse you’re making it sound!’

Hearing Hong Miaojin’s explanation, Fang Xing’s heart twitched. He immediately spoke up, "I will never forget your kindness in guiding me, my lady."

"’Nurturing’ can also cultivate feelings. What’s wrong with that? It’s only natural for a man and a woman to fall in love."

Hong Xuanji said this nonchalantly.

Fang Xing was left speechless. He had no comeback for that.

’He had a point, I suppose.’

’But he hadn’t forgotten Yuan Tiangang’s warning. This girl... she wasn’t using him as a human shield, was she?’

’If he ended up drawing the wrath of that damned Prince onto himself, he’d be an innocent casualty caught in the crossfire.’

’It wasn’t that he was immune to beautiful women—and Hong Miaojin was certainly captivating—but the only thing on his mind right now was improving his strength.’

’With enough strength, he could have anyone he wanted.’

’A fruit plucked too early may not be sweet, but it can still quench your thirst!’

’In this world, the fist reigns supreme!’

For a moment, a strange silence fell over the hall.

"Dad, stop talking nonsense! Fang Xing is decisive and efficient on missions, never one to dawdle. His talent is excellent, too. I simply brought him to Jade Capital City to look around, out of consideration for a subordinate."

Hong Miaojin looked at Hong Xuanji with a completely serious expression.

"Mm, consideration for a subordinate. I know," Hong Xuanji nodded lightly.

Hong Miaojin: "(ﾉ｀⊿´)ﾉ"

"My Lord, the Ninth Prince has arrived!"

Just then, a voice called out.

Fang Xing’s heart instantly tightened.

Hong Xuanji’s eyes narrowed. He looked at Steward Wang. "Old Wang, go and invite His Highness in."

"Yes, my lord!" Steward Wang nodded and promptly turned to leave.
