Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

No matter how outsiders used her identity to make all kinds of speculations and calculations, the person involved, Hao Ling Jiuyao, rode a golden eagle and returned to the academy leisurely. Now her identity as Princess Hao Ling has spread throughout the wilderness, and the students in the academy also know her identity. They were originally uneasy and didn't know how to get along with her, but seeing that she was not only still wearing the academy's "school uniform", but her personality had become more cheerful, so everyone started to play together again.

Life was back on track. When Hao Ling Jiuyao saw Ye Shiqi again, she couldn't help but think of Fang Feng Yiying who was protected by Xiang Liu, so she specially found time to talk to Ye Shiqi about Fang Feng Yiying.

Hao Ling Jiuyao roughly knew what had happened to the Tushan clan, so when she saw Ye Shiqi's peaceful eyes that were full of hope for life, she found it difficult to say some words.

Ye Shiqi was quite tolerant of Hao Ling Jiuyao, his savior. If he had not come to the academy, he would probably have regarded Hao Ling Jiuyao as his only salvation and would not let her go.

Seeing that Hao Ling Jiu Yao was hesitant and didn't want to talk about the main matter, Ye Shiqi couldn't help but chuckle. When Hao Ling Jiu Yao looked at him angrily, he cleared his throat and said seriously, "Actually, I know what you are going to say."

Hao Ling Jiu Yao saw that she was laughed at by Ye Shiqi, but she was also really happy that Ye Shiqi could come out of such a change. She said sincerely: "I hope you don't blame me for being nosy. It's true that after getting along with Miss Fang Feng, I feel that she is really a good girl. She is still serving Old Madam Tushan in Tushan. Since you have decided to give up your identity as Tushan Jing, you should make arrangements for Miss Fang Feng in advance."

There are many flaws in this speech, but Ye Shiqi only understands Hao Ling Jiuyao's good intentions. However, there are some things that should be reminded to Hao Ling Jiuyao in advance: "The Tushan clan is already corrupt. Even if I go back as Tu Shan Jing, I am afraid that I will not be able to turn the tide unless I follow the dragon."

Hao Ling Jiu Yao's mind raced upon hearing this, and her face darkened. Then she heard Ye Shiqi sigh, "Back then, I heard that General Chi Chen had done many things to exterminate families. At that time, I was still young and could only see the surface of things. I only thought that the other party was as hateful as a demon or a ghost, and I wished I could personally go into battle and destroy that evildoer."

"But now looking back, I find that General Chichen is indeed a meritorious official of Chenrong. He sacrificed his own reputation to at least extend the fortune of Chenrong for several hundred years. Although Chenrong was later destroyed by Xiyan, it had nothing to do with General Chichen. It was because the monarch could not be a strong backer for General Chichen and help him balance other forces."

Hao Ling Jiuyao had heard these words from Jiang Xinxin and Shi Ying before, but she heard them again from Tu Shanjing, a peer of her age, which she still could not fully understand. He also believed that Chi Chen was sacrificed by the king of Chen Rong, and that it was the king of Chen Rong who failed to support Chi Chen to the end and complete the reform in one go.

Ye Shiqi continued, "Today's Tushan clan is a projection of the Chenrong Kingdom back then. It's like a tree. If you can't cut off all the bad branches and rotten roots that are infested with insects, even if it still looks lush and lively, if someone brings a gust of wind, it may fall to the ground without hope."

Hao Ling Jiu Yao retracted her surprised expression and turned back to comfort Ye Shiqi, "In fact, what I want to say is that no matter whether it was the Chen Rong Kingdom in the past or the Tu Shan clan today, I'm afraid everyone has their own stance and persistence. Just like Chi Chen, he thinks that as long as those cancers are eliminated, Chen Rong Kingdom will only be better."

"King Chen Rong probably saw that things were getting out of control. More and more clans began to stand against the royal family. He was worried that the internal troubles would encounter the external threat of Xi Yan, which would make Chen Rong unstable. So he urgently stopped Chi Chen's actions, but he failed to appease the remaining clans. Xi Yan took advantage of the situation and rushed in, which led to the disaster of Chen Rong's destruction."

"As for those clans, they feel that everything they have is not granted by the royal family, and they even think that they have made contributions by supporting the royal family. Since they have made contributions, they must be rewarded. Even if they cannot get substantial benefits from the royal family, they should at least give them a good name. However, they did not expect that their interests are not completely consistent with those of the royal family, because in addition to the clans, there are other people who are the subjects of the royal family."

Ye Shiqi nodded with a smile. When he was still Tushan Jing, he had experienced the destruction of Chen Rong's country and secretly supported the remnants of Hong Jiang to fight against Xiyan. So he felt that no matter whether it was Chen Rong, Xiyan or Haoling, it was just like that. There was no eternal country in this world, but there could be eternal clans.

But since he became Ye Shiqi and came to the academy, he saw the common people outside the clans and royal families. It turned out that the clans and royal families occupied an absolute share of the resources of the Great Wilderness, but the common people were the foundation of the Great Wilderness, even though only a few people realized this so far.

Ye Shiqi solemnly said to Hao Ling Jiuyao: "I have seen a world without slaves and where all beings are equal, and now I am working hard for it."

Hao Ling Jiuyao had never thought that Ye Shiqi had such great ambitions, but this was in line with her idea. She held Ye Shiqi's outstretched hand and said, "Then, let's encourage each other!"

Here, Haoling Jiuyao's life has long been on the right track, and she has set a direction to strive for, but Xiangliu feels a bit like being trapped in prison, because as soon as he returns, Fangfeng the monster forces him to stop running around and to prepare to receive heir education so that he can inherit Fangfeng family in the future.

Xiang Liu felt very bored when he saw Fang Feng Xiaoguai directly applying his previous attitude towards his cheap elder brother to his own status without any grudge. He was too lazy to make any excuses and just said seriously, "My father is now in his prime, and my sister has married into the Tushan family. To put it bluntly, I am just a mascot. I should go out more while I am still young."

Fangfeng Xiaoguai was suddenly speechless. In the past, he had naturally looked down on this bastard and thought that it was enough to have him at home. Now, it seemed that he rarely came back after his aunt passed away. If he had not repeatedly instructed in advance this time, I am afraid that this rebellious son would really show up.

But Fangfengguai felt that the rebellious son was right. As long as he was alive, he would have secured the position of the young master. Although there were many things to learn, there was indeed a long time to go. So Fangfengguai waved his hand unhappily and asked Xiangliu to leave.

After Xiangliu retreated, he quietly left Fangfeng clan overnight. The deal between him and Fangfeng Bei did not include the future of Fangfeng clan. He was close to Fangfeng Yiying because Fangfeng Yiying took the initiative to accept him as his adopted brother.

Xiangliu returned to the academy in a panic, and heard from Ye Shiqi that he had made a deal with Fangfeng Yiying. However, he was still concerned about Fangfeng Yiying's future and wanted to give Fangfeng Yiying a way out, so he found Ye Shiqi and asked Ye Shiqi to give Fangfeng Yiying a guarantee.

Ye Shiqi didn't feel embarrassed at all after hearing Xiang Liu's explanation of his purpose. He said directly, "I have two ways. One is that I write a marriage certificate for Tushan Jing and Fangfeng Yiying in my own handwriting, and Yiying can get the signatures and seals of the elders to complete the marriage. The other is that I write a suicide note saying that if Yiying is willing to marry into the Tushan family, I will ask Yiying to adopt a child in the clan."

Xiangliu couldn't tell which one would be more beneficial to Fangfeng Yiying, so he simply took both. Ye Shiqi didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He took out Tushan's unique silk, prepared the two things he mentioned, and handed them directly to Xiangliu.

In keeping with the friendship between fellow disciples, Ye Shiqi kindly advised: "The situation inside the Tushan clan is indeed a bit shabby. I'm afraid it will be useless for Yiying to take it. I'm worried that Yiying will work hard but the gain will not outweigh the loss. In fact, the best result is that Yiying can have a child with Tushan clan blood. As long as Yiying is pregnant, I can still put on a show."

Xiang Liu was really curious. "How come you used to be the high and mighty Master Tushan? How come after experiencing a betrayal by your brothers, you don't even care about the future of the Tushan family?"
