Chapter 78: I am not talented

……

"Elder Nan Feng, can you discuss it before you speak?"

Ning Fengzhi looked at Nan Feng, who had just entered the door and picked up Ning Rongrong to sit aside and play with toys, with a painful expression.

Now nobles from all sides of the Tiandou Empire have sent news, asking what he means, whether he wants to start a war, and whether he has colluded with the Spirit Hall.

How could he unite with the Spirit Hall to engage in that kind of reform?

"Discuss

"Whether they hate me or respect me, it has no effect on me at all. I only need to be able to get what I want."

"Alright, enough talk, I should tell you about the real business."

Tang Yuehua was a little nervous, "What is it?"

"Help me gather the nobles of the Tiandou Empire to Tiandou City; I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with them," Nan Feng said.

Tang Yuehua has great influence in the noble circles of the Tiandou Empire, not only because of the Clear Sky Sect, but also because of her own social skills. Yuexuan is an institution for teaching etiquette and music; the nobles who graduate from here respect Tang Yuehua, not the Clear Sky Sect.

"Don't refuse. I am just asking you to do it; I am not forcing you to succeed," Nan Feng said.

"Whether you invite them or not is your business; whether they come or not is their business. You only need to do your own part."

"Also, help me contact the Single Attribute Four Clans and let them come over as well."

"What do you want to do?" Tang Yuehua asked.

"Have a heart-to-heart with the nobles. As for the four clans, no matter what, I was the strategic commander of that war back then, so it's time to settle our grievances," Nan Feng said.

Tang Yuehua looked hesitant, "I can help you with the nobles, but I don't have the ability to handle the Single Attribute Four Clans."

"I said, you only need to do it. Whether they come or not is their own business," Nan Feng said.

"What if they don't come?" Tang Yuehua asked nervously.

"If they don't come, they don't come. Can I force them?" Nan Feng said.

"At worst, I'll visit them personally."

"As the old saying goes, if the mountain will not come to me, I will go to the mountain."

Qibao Zhai.

"Elder Nan Feng, before you speak, can you discuss it with me first?"

Ning Fengzhi looked with a pained expression at Nan Feng, who had just walked in, picked up Ning Rongrong, and sat down to play with toys.

Now, news was coming in from all sides of the Tiandou Empire's nobility, asking him what this meant, whether he wanted to start a war, and whether he had colluded with the Spirit Hall.

How could he join forces with the Spirit Hall to carry out such a reform?

"Discuss what?" Nan Feng asked, puzzled.

"Those regulations you announced at the Tiandou Royal Academy," Ning Fengzhi said.

"How could you do such a big thing without saying a word? Even if you want to change things, it should be done step by step. There's no need to use such radical methods; you could have taken it slowly."

The Tiandou Empire has long-standing accumulated ills and cannot be operated on rashly, otherwise this already crumbling empire would collapse in an instant!

One can only boil a frog in warm water; at the very least, the stage should have been set before inviting these nobles onto it, rather than kicking them up there directly! "Too slow," Nan Feng said.

"I know you have a way to change the current situation of the Tiandou Empire, but it's too slow."

"Your method would take at least twenty years to show initial results."

Ning Fengzhi's eye twitched, "But my method is stable."

"My method is fast," Nan Feng said.

"But this is too dangerous," Ning Fengzhi said.

"You don't understand the situation in the Tiandou Empire. Those regulations won't motivate the nobles at all; on the contrary, they will make them increasingly unstable."

"I know, that's why I'm preparing to kill the chicken to warn the monkey," Nan Feng said.

Spirit Masters are indeed strong, but not infinitely so. Moreover, powerful Spirit Masters almost all have families to support; it is impossible for them to lower themselves to carry out assassinations. Reputation is very important. Once a reputation is ruined, it cannot be saved.

Furthermore, once a war starts, no one will stand there like an idiot waiting for you to kill them. At the slightest hint of trouble, you won't even be able to find their shadows.

Anyone who has been to war knows that the hardest part of decapitation tactics is not breaking in, but finding the location of the "head."

"Kill the chicken to warn the monkey?" Ning Fengzhi was stunned.

"Elder Nan Feng, please think twice. If this causes a riot in the Tiandou Empire, it will be a catastrophe."

Why didn't Xue Ye dare to carry out reforms himself?

He was afraid that as soon as he made a move, everyone below would rebel!

As long as one person rebels, everyone else will follow suit in a heartbeat!

"They won't," Nan Feng said.

"I can suppress these things."

Ning Fengzhi's eye twitched, "Elder Nan Feng, you must understand that war between Spirit Masters is different from war between armies. A Titled Douluo is not invincible either; they will get tired and they will die."

"I know." Nan Feng set Ning Rongrong aside, took out a small jade bottle, and handed it to Ning Fengzhi.

"But some things are different."

Ning Fengzhi took the jade bottle nervously and tentatively opened it.

However, just as he opened it halfway, Ning Fengzhi's expression stiffened, and he hurriedly covered the bottle and put it back on the table.

Poison! Deadly poison!! "Elder Nan Feng, the Poison Douluo doesn't seem to have... joined the Spirit Hall, right?" Ning Fengzhi had already guessed Nan Feng's method.

The power of a Titled Douluo is indeed strong, but it is truly useless against human-wave tactics.

But poison is different! Numbers are meaningless in the face of something like poison!

"I didn't say I was letting Dugu Bo do it," Nan Feng said.

"I am not talented, but I have plenty of strength and means."

"Resistance and war are nothing more than because one thinks there is still a glimmer of hope. But what if there is no hope?"

Nan Feng picked up the jade bottle, "Guess how many people this bit of poison can kill?"

Ning Fengzhi's expression stiffened, "I do not know."

"I don't know either," Nan Feng smiled.

"But next, we might be able to test it."

"..."

"Elder Nan Feng, must you use such methods?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

"Sect Master Ning, I know what kind of person you are. Although merchants value profit, you, as a merchant, still have a bit of a conscience. But some things cannot be delayed," Nan Feng said.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is one of the few existences in the Spirit Master class with a conscience, because commerce is the prototype of capital. The two great empires, the Spirit Hall, and other sects are all pure feudal landlords.

The two great empires promoted the progress of social order on the Douluo Continent, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect promoted the development of the basic economy.

The commercial network of the Douluo Continent was built purely by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After all, they are auxiliary-type Spirit Masters and lack the power for fighting and killing; if they want to develop and grow, they naturally have to find another way.

Doing business is all about stability. Would you rather do business with someone holding a Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda who might cheat you out of a little money, or with someone carrying a hammer, growing claws, or holding a holy sword, who might kill you if they disagree with you? "But your methods are too radical," Ning Fengzhi sighed.

Drastic reforms do indeed take effect quickly, but behind such quick results is a river of blood.

When nobles die, it's not just the nobles who die.

When a mountain collapses, it will crush many people.

"That's why I pulled you in too," Nan Feng said.

"I'm responsible for charging into the fray, and you're responsible for cleaning up the mess for me. Brother Ning, I believe in your ability!"

Ning Fengzhi's eye twitched wildly; he really couldn't help but want to curse.

How can you be so righteous while saying such shameless things? (End of chapter)
