Chapter 469: Kill With A Sword! (1/2)

“Too reckless.”

Song Gudu had remarked that Lu Xingkong's way of handling was too reckless, implying that Lu Xingkong had misunderstood Chu Xun.

Chu Xun's suspicion may not necessarily be wrong, and that Li Muyang might really be an evil dragon——

“Li Muyang really is an evil dragon?”

This was the thought that sprang up in the mind of many people.

It must be said that when Chu Xun came forward to ident.i.ty Li Muyang as a dragon, everybody only thought that 'a child's words carried no harm' or 'a youth without facial hair cannot be relied upon'.

Everyone only thought it was a joke, or there was another mystery behind this verbal attack.

n.o.body would really take Chu Xun's words to heart or seriously——How could there be dragons in the Divine continent?

In the nine countries of the Divine continent, there were countless brave warriors. Has anybody found a real dragon? Has anybody been promoted to Dragon warrior?

However, if this remark came out of Song Gudu's mouth, then it would not be the same and carried much more weight.

A clan of tens of thousands years, a powerful family of a thousand years.

The Song clan had too much of a dazzling ring of light around them and mysterious radiance.

Before the West Wind Kingdom was founded, the Song clan was already an overlord.

Or perhaps, before the West wind, the Eastern Sui, or the Western Sui period, or even the Taikang imperial court and Yehuo imperial court, the Song clan was already a force that no one dared to ignore.

After the founding emperor established the West Wind Kingdom, in order to keep the Song clan at his side, he proposed to marry the daughter of the Song clan. The Song clan allowed it, and from then on, several emperors also married the women of the Song clan or those closely linked with the Song clan.

There was a proverb in Tiandu: The Chu and Song shared the world.

In fact it should be, the Song and Chu shared the world. If it was arranged in the order of power, then the Song family should be in front of the Chu clan.

Because while the women of the Song clan were firmly in control of the chambers of imperial concubines, the outstanding descendants of the Song family were dominating the power of the imperial court.

There were two ministers, the right and left minister in the Kingdom. The position of right minister had always been held by the direct descendants of the Song family. Including 'the eye of the Starry Sky' Song Gudu.

Most importantly, the Song family was called the 'Imperial Library', in order words, the selection of historical books, the evaluation and grading of the world's outstanding scholars were all decided by the Song family.

Whoever the Song family wanted to promote would become a scholar of the highest educational inst.i.tute overnight and be admired by everybody.

Whoever the Song family wanted to step on would become someone that the entire world would look at with disdain.

The heart of the scholars of the world was always facing the Song family.

All scholars in the world knew the Song family.

Thus, n.o.body in the Kingdom dared to provoke the Song family, a family that could take direct control of public opinion and the scholarly families. Who would dare to offend all the scholars of the world? Who would want their clan or family be detested by everyone? Who would want to leave a bad reputation that will long be remembered?

Brush were like swords, and sometimes those who write were fiercer and terrifying than those who wielded swords.

Even the West Wind imperial Chu clan also had to maintain a respectful and humble att.i.tude in front of the Song family, and dared not to consider themselves as superior.

Fortunately, the Song family had a sense of propriety and forbearance. Although they knew that they were powerful and had great influence in every aspect of the Kingdom, they understood the essence of hiding one's ability and pretending to be weak, and would absolutely not grab the limelight from the Chu clan on the surface. Song Gudu had long stepped aside and lived outside the city in the old mansion, watching over the capital as a West Wind guardian and did not let foreign enemies step into the city.

The previous heads of the Song family also did the same, and had won the hearts of the citizen. No matter how much the Chu clan was dissatisfied, they would not dare to complain in public, and also constantly had to put them up on the pedestal.

The head of such a tremendous family had come forward to say that Lu Xingkong was not fair in the way he dealt with this matter——no one present dared to look at this sentence as a light criticism.

Chu Xianda, with a look of consternation on his face, said aloud: “Elder Song, you mean——there are other possibilities?”

Cui Xichen remained quiet, observing the development of the situation with a ruminative gaze. He was thinking whether Song Gudu's finger was pointing to Lu Xingkong or Li Muyang who had just defeated Mu Dingyi?

Did he also feel the threat of Li Muyang, or did he want to take possession of the Heart of the Weak water, a precious treasure of the Divine continent?

There were countless thoughts flas.h.i.+ng in his head.

Lu Xingkong raised his brows, staring at Song Gudu. “What is State minister's intention?”

He did not ask Song Gudu 'what did he mean', but questioned what his 'intention' was, implying that everybody know that what he said was extremely absurd. But since he had said it out loud, it meant that he had other goals to achieve. Don't beat around the bush, just say what you are thinking.
