The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 28 Master Jin

At this moment, Master Jin's gaze toward Fang Yunhua was completely different.

Even though he knew before that the other party had the ability to turn the Huashan Sect from decline to prosperity, he still admitted that he was shocked by the other party's vision and knowledge.

Those who are in the martial world are often the easiest to trap themselves in this cage. For example, those ambitious people, the biggest and loudest slogan they shout is nothing more than to unify the martial world. But the young man in front of him has already realized that the martial world cannot escape the control of that behemoth.

"So, you want me to act as a bridge between you and His Highness Prince An?"

"Because you are the most suitable person to do this, it will not arouse the emperor's suspicion. After all, your position is to promote such reforms, and this evolution will be more conducive to the court's rule."

Fang Yunhua also left out the fact that this would make it easier for the imperial court to grasp the trends of the martial arts world, and to intervene and influence at a deeper level at any time without causing a violent backlash, which would eventually lead to the complete breaking down of that thick barrier.

This was actually an inevitable trend.

There is a very obvious example, which is to refer to the power structure in "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng". It can be said that the timeline of each of Gu Long's novels is traceable.

It is now confirmed that "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" is likely set in the same era as "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng," but Fang Yunhua is quite certain that there is no Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows in the martial arts world.

Furthermore, given his own example of obtaining the "Mingyu Gong" from the White Jade Beauty, he can conclude that the background stories and developments of Gu Long's other novels can serve as extremely important references.

Seeing Jin Erye's reaction now confirmed that he had made the right choice in approaching him, and that his intention to bind himself to Prince An was ahead of the curve.

Afterwards, all the major sects in the martial arts world will likely form alliances with the various factions on the imperial court's side, and the Huashan Sect, which has taken the initiative, will undoubtedly reap the greatest benefits from this.

“I will help you build this bridge, and of course I will also report your situation with the Huashan Sect to His Majesty.”

After Master Jin gave an affirmative answer, Fang Yunhua was overjoyed and bowed respectfully.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Jin."

After thinking for a moment, Master Jin gave Fang Yunhua a few more reminders.

“You are very shrewd and indeed have the ability to guess things pretty well. Prince An will likely agree, but that doesn’t mean he will favor you from the start. He only chose you because your Huashan Sect came out first.”

"You mean, I might still face some challenges?"

"No, this matter will basically not have any twists and turns. The purpose of the test is to examine whether one is steadfast, loyal, or correct through concrete actions or dangerous and critical environments. You naturally no longer need these."

What you will face next will determine how much power you can draw upon from the Prince An's mansion; this should be considered a test that will not affect the outcome.

However, it must be said that your selection of His Highness Prince An is already an extremely fortunate outcome.

Fang Yunhua understood what the other party meant. Now, this matter was not only about Master Jin acting as a bridge, but also about following the court's management policy for the martial arts world. Therefore, the one who truly acted as a bridge for them this time could be regarded as the current emperor.

With the emperor's words, would any of the princes dare to disagree?

But while they may agree, how to bind themselves together, how to cooperate, the distribution of the dominant voice, and the degree of interference in the martial arts world are all things that the Huashan Sect and the Prince An's Mansion need to contend with each other, or rather, strive to achieve.

If it were someone else, there might even be a situation where a prince was not satisfied with this forced task.

So, if someone claims to cooperate on the one hand, but remains indifferent on the other, or even hinders the operation, then from the perspective of the Huashan Sect's interests, the cooperation completely loses its meaning.

However, Prince An was an exception.

He has always been the Emperor's obedient younger brother, exhibiting a severe brother-complex, and coupled with his pleasure-seeking nature, he would be the best partner compared to some ambitious princes who want to take advantage of the situation. Of course, even if Fang Yunhua has his eye on Prince An...

Despite his desire for pleasure and his brotherly obsession, Prince Ke'an would definitely first assess Fang Yunhua's worth.

This binding itself is also a two-way selection process.

After a detailed discussion with Master Jin, who offered many suggestions as a member of her family, Fang Yunhua returned home satisfied with the golden lingzhi.

Inside the Jin residence.

After playing with the red coral jade for a while, Madam Jin noticed that her husband was sometimes sighing, sometimes smiling, and sometimes tearing the paper he was writing into pieces.

"Sir, did the meeting just now not go well?"

"It's all going too smoothly." Master Jin looked at his wife, who was still holding the red coral jade with great affection, and said with a smile, "It seems that the gift he gave you really touched your heart."

Mrs. Jin answered truthfully.

“I really like this item, and most importantly, Lingzhi likes it very much. Speaking of which, this young hero Fang is quite similar to some of the rumors.”

"what's the situation?"

"It's that good looks that's what made our Lingzhi so infatuated."

To this, Master Jin simply shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"If everyone only focuses on his appearance, he will inevitably suffer a great loss in the future."

"I never expected the master to praise him so highly."

"After all, it is already quite rare for someone so young and intelligent to not be obsessed with empty fame. This makes him almost like family."

I told him in the study before that I should take Lingzhi seriously until she kicks him out. You know what he said? He said, "What if she never kicks me out?"

I can tell that my little niece has been completely dominated by the other party.

But this is for the best.

Madam Jin did not respond. She was too familiar with Second Master Jin's habits and understood that he had suddenly come up with some ideas.

She then quietly left the study, clutching the red coral jade.

After writing his memorial to the Emperor, Jin Erye did not truthfully describe Fang Yunhua's excellent vision and overall perspective. He obscured Fang Yunhua's leading role in the matter, which was Jin Erye's way of protecting Fang Yunhua.

He had already realized that the other party had no intention of leaving the martial arts world, so some of their overly advanced views and insights were not suitable for more people to know.

Because this could actually cause them some trouble.

Whether it was Fang Yunhua's personal appreciation or the fact that Fang asked him to act as a bridge, it could be considered as helping him achieve a merit.

Of course, more importantly, he witnessed Jin Lingzhi's emotional expression towards Fang Yunhua at this family banquet. He also realized that this half-family member's status had reached the point where they had to accept it even if they didn't want to. Therefore, as an elder, it was necessary to eliminate any worries for his younger generation.
