Book 4: Near Blood - Chapter 228: Prideful Bones (2/2)

Guo Siyang wore a benevolent expression “Prince Su is quite a young hero You intelligently saved the Heavenly Might Battalion, and you also developed the Hemolytic Totem and a bunch of other remarkable cultivation techniques I am very impressed with your talent”

Su Chen said, “I ah the heavens are or how deep the earth is I just tinkered with the squinted his eyes and said, “If you were able to develop these things just by tinkering with them, then your talent is worthy of respect even if you are a bit inexperienced However, you are still young, so lacking a bit of foresight in this regard is to be expected”

Su Chen said, “Please, Head Minister of Works, I a said, “You can’t really call this instruction However, having served society for so s Do you knohat theis in this world?”

“I don’t know”

“It’s social order!” Guo Siyang said “Nature worshi+ps order The reason we humans are human is because we have social rules that we follow and laws that we rely on to maintain this order”

Su Chen listened very intently

Guo Siyang continued, “However, there is soon that there will always be disputes How do you preserve order? This necessitates social class One group roup must accept this rule Only this kind of a distribution and level can preserve this natural order”

Su Chen soroups? Of course it’s with bloodline restrictions”

Guo Siyang chuckled “See? You understand A bloodline-less cultivation techniques allows anyone to cultivate It sees topsy-turvy People lose respect for status, causing chaos between the social tiers andit so that people can offend their superiors at any point in time Without this order, our country will in fact not be a country”

Guo Siyang’s thought process was actually very simple and traditional He believed that, if these cultivation techniques were to become universal, it would definitely disrupt the social order However, he was not talking specifically about the Bloodline nobility Clans but the country as a whole He viewed it from the perspective of someone in power, and believed that this would create chaos within the country and dae the solidity of their rule

In that sense, he wasn’t wrong

For instance, now that Danba had obtained the Ravager cultivation technique, he possessed the ability to challenge the Inferno Tribe In the saain the right to challenge the current rulers via the use of this cultivation techniques It was impossible to avoid a period of chaos Apparently, there were already hout human territory, a few of them started by people who had studied Su Chen’s cultivation techniques Thankfully, up until this point he had onlyothers to the Yang Opening Realm, which was still relatively low in status It didn’t really affect the big Bloodline nobility Clans ns of a rebellion were already present

There at least needed to be a so to stop this new development

Just as automation would cause some workers to lose their jobs, new cultivation techniques would disrupt the current social order It wasn’t all good; obviously, even excellent inventions could create soative outcomes

The bloodline-less cultivation techniques were no exception

Everything Guo Siyang had mentioned were all side effects that would really happen

You could say that the Bloodline nobility Clans wereto find an excuse or that he really lacked a long-term view, but at this moment his words were filled with a conviction that his words were righteous and just

This was the quality that every iardless of whether you actually were concerned for the fate of the country’s commoners, you at least needed to act like you were

If Su Chen was still the io, he probably would have tried to argue with Guo Siyang a bit, explaining that developing these bloodline-less techniques would be incredibly important for the future of humanity

However, he was not

He was very clear that there was nothing to be gained fro with people like this

Whether they really understood or not, it was impossible to convince people like this with reason alone

You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep

As such, Su Chen made no atteree

Guo Siyang chuckled as he stroked his beard when he saw Su Chen act like this He was very pleased with Su Chen’s “teachableness”

Others also wandered over and offered their flattery and congratulations

Su Chen discovered that building up relationshi+ps with important individuals was actually very simple

You just had to nod your head and say, “Yes, I agree” no ood listener and was incredibly patient As such, he was able to behave hi what he was after

As long as he wasn’t ile with them

Of course, this only see thisconceited, or possessing talent without feeling the need to show off, was incredibly difficult, not to mention the other rare qualities that Su Chen possessed

In any case, this was a very successful banquet Su Chen was able to very easily roup of nobles

It could only be said that, when he opened ato the world, the world opened a door up to hi, news of this banquet had spread to the Flowing Gold Fort

Lin Wenjun tree as he stared at the report

“bastard! How could this be? Su Chen agreed to, he agreed to not distribute any techniques through the Drea on inheritance to pass theue with ths to put pressure on hihed “This person is far h he has no arrogance, his pride runs as deep as his bones!”

Su Chen did not try to arrogantly dispute Guo Siyang’s nonsense However, he refused to back down even an inch despite Lin Wenjun’s attempts to put pressure on him every step of the way

He had the ability to maintain his silence, but there was no way he would ever bow his head to his enemies or let someone harm his Instructor or the thousands of soldiers that were part of the Heavenly Might Battalion

Such were his prideful bones

Lin Wenjun’s mistake was that he had treated Su Chen as an eneed tactics earlier, the situation ht not have turned out the way it did

Unfortunately, it was too late for hi about it now
