Explanation

"Grandpa, I went to the misty forest with Qian rou, But we got separated." Feng Yue told him while sipping the tea.

She did not tell him about assassins as she did not want him to worry about it. She likes to take her revenge with her own hands.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Feng Zhan said while observing her facial expressions.

"You can tell me. You don't have to be afraid."

"Nothing, Grandpa. I got lost in the woods, so I was not able to come back on time. Luckily, I didn't encounter high-level spirit beasts on my way." She said with a Consolating voice. But her eyes flashed slightly, and a cold bloodthirsty smile appeared on her lips.

She was aware that without the tacit approval of Chen ming, Qian rou would not dare to attack her openly. Maybe, he also wants to get rid of her so that he doesn't have to marry a trash. In this way, he could marry Qian rou and could also maintain his reputation in front of people.

"Qian rou, Chen ming, wait for my revenge."

"Grandpa, I want to cancel my engagement with the crown prince." She tried to change the topic by bringing out the matter of annulment.

Feng Zhan was puzzled for a moment, but he soon reacted. He knew how much his granddaughter loved the crown prince. Feng Zhan doesn't understand why Feng Yue wants to end the engagement. Nonetheless, he was happy with her decision.

"Well, I will talk to His Majesty about it." Feng Zhan replied with a smile on his face.

"Grandpa, you don't need to rush it. If my guess isn't wrong, the Emperor's birthday will soon be there. I think Chen Ming might propose an annulment of the engagement to the Emperor that day. He hates me so much that he will not miss this opportunity to break our marriage contract. In that case, you can extort some benefits from the Emperor as compensation." Feng Yue said in a plain tone.

If he doesn't, then you can suggest it."

Feng Zhan was surprised by her thoughtfulness. He could feel that his granddaughter was a little different since he came back from the misty forest. He was confused, but he didn't ask.

Fang Yu did not pay attention to his grandfather's expression. She added:

"Also, grandfather. There is one more thing I want you to do."

Feng Yue continued.

"Grandfather, you hold one-third of the Hechan kingdom's military power in your hand. So during Emperor's birthday, I want you to hand over the military force in your hand to Emperor and take retirement from the general's position. I do not want you to get involved in the affairs of the royal family."

Feng Zhen hesitated. He kept this power to protect his granddaughter. He can't be with her forever. There will always be a day when he cannot protect her, so he wants to leave a way for her.

"Yue'er, you don't have cultivation, just in case something happens to me. I, I..." Feng Zhan wanted to explain to her, but he couldn't say it.

Feng Yue felt warm in her heart. She knew that her grandfather was worried about her, so to make her grandfather more assured, Feng Yue explained:

"Grandpa, I'm not a trash anymore. I can cultivate. I am already at peak of Qi refining level six and about to break through to level seven. In the misty forest, I was being chased by a spirit beast. A mysterious old man saved me. I could not cultivate earlier because I had poison in my body. He gave me a pill to get rid of my poison. He also taught me how to cultivate and accepted me as his disciple." She made up a story to explain things related to the misty forest. By this, she could also explain her sudden behavior change.

She didn't tell him about the Primordial divine ring. It's not that she doesn't trust her grandfather, but it's better to let fewer people know about it.

Feng Yue showed him his cultivation level. Her physique was special. If she does not use any spiritual energy, people will think that she is a person without cultivation.

"You, you.. can cultivate. You can really cultivate." Feng Zhan's body trembled with excitement. Tears of joy were gushing out of his eyes. He knew how much his granddaughter had suffered because of her inability to cultivate.

"ha ha ha... God bless my Feng family." Feng Zhan laughed loudly. His laughter spread in the whole study room.

"He also gave me some books on alchemy. He said that I have the talent to become an alchemist. So grandfather, in the future you don't need to worry about pills." Feng Yue continued.

Alchemist is a very rare profession in the Qinglong continent. They are highly respected everywhere. Hence even if their fighting prowess is not strong, no one dares to offend an alchemist. If his granddaughter can become an alchemist, he doesn't have to worry about her. Feng Zhan thought in his heart.

"So, grandfather, don't worry about me. Also, keep my cultivation a secret. I don't want too many people to know about it." Feng Yue said while she drank the last sip of tea.

While placing the cup on the table, she continued:

"I think the Emperor is wary of our general's mansion. Our general's manor is a threat to him. But if you return the army to him, he will not consider us a threat anymore. We will have enough time to develop our power. A big mountain attracts wind and rain. If we maintain this military power, sooner or later it will be fatal for us."

The royal family has a cultivator at the peak of foundation establishment. Her grandfather is only at the initial stage of foundation establishment. Currently, she cannot compete with the royal family, so before she has enough strength, she does not want to clash with the royal family.

"Grandfather, you should know that in this world, strength reign supreme. As long as you are strong, you can do anything you want. Military power is nothing in front of truly powerful. Powerful cultivators can destroy any military force just by waving their hands. So in a way, it's a burden for you."

Feng Zhan was moved by what she said. He spent most of his life protecting this kingdom, but what did he get in return? His own granddaughter was bullied. His granddaughter was his only relative. He wants to spend the rest of his old life with her. He replied:

"Good."

Although it was only one word, it shows his determination.
