BXBX NOVEL Chapter Volume 16 1.4
“Ha ha,” Feng Ming leaned his head back and laughed.Within the banquet hall, bewildered faces could be seen looking at him. Afterceasing his laughter, he looked at Hao Yuan Jiang with a serious expression.“Ambassador… let me ask you this. Are nobles superior when compared tocommoners?”
“Yes.”
“Are royals superior when compared to nobles?”
“Yes.”
“The reason why you all oppose the Grace Order isbecause it breaks the boundaries between the superior and inferior, resultingin commoners and nobles existing on the same level, correct?”
“Correct,” Hao Yuan Jiang confirmed.
“That means you all think that everything in thisworld needs to have set boundaries with a distinction between the weak andstrong in order to be balanced. There should not be the slightest possibilityto overcome those boundaries, correct?”
“Yes.”
“Then… may I ask this, Ambassador… between you andTong’s royal Uncle, Qing Zhang, who is superior and who is inferior?”
Feng Ming suddenly dragged Tong’s royal Uncle into thedebate earning everyone’s surprise.
Hao Yuan Jiang stared at him with wide eyes.
This was, after all, a banquet held by the TongKingdom. His answer had to be perfect or it would immediately affect thediplomatic relations between the two countries. However, he also could not loseface for Xi Lei.
“This…” there was only one way he could answer.“Tong’s royal Uncle, Qing Zhang, and I are both important figures in our ownrespective kingdoms’ courts. We are also both of noble blood and have matchingpositions, therefore our statuses can be considered equal.”
“I see, both are equal in status.” Feng Ming looked athim innocently. “Then… between Tong’s King and Xi Lei’s King, who is superiorand who is inferior?”
The entire audience was shocked.
To drag the kings of both kingdoms into the debate…the aftermath would become even more unimaginable.
Hearing Feng Ming mention his father, Qing Li wasfurious. He angrily slapped his hand on the small table in front of him. ShangYi, who was seated at his side, feared that Qing Zhang’s plan would be foiled.She immediately clutched Qing Li’s hand and laughed seductively in a gentletone. “Please calm down your Highness. Xi Lei’s ambassador is going to teachhim a lesson. There is no need for you to take offense and become angered,alright?”
Her well-endowed chest brushed Qing Li’s armambiguously, causing the formerly enraged Qing Li to calm down. He slowly laughed,“My little treasure… only you can bring me joy.”
Zhang Liu and her maids sat at their designated place,not too far away from Qing Li’s. They could clearly see the two shamelessindividuals publicly whispering and laughing wantonly together. But even ifthey were angry, there was nothing they could do.
“Both Tong’s king and Xi Lei’s king are monarchs. Ofcourse they are the most superior.”
‘Then... are you saying they are equal?”
“Ah… correct.”
“Then let me ask you, if they are equal, then theyshould respect each other, right?”
“Of course.” Hao Yuan Jiang coughed and continued. “MyXi Lei’s king has always respect Tong’s king. That is why I was sent here.”
Su Jin Chao was unable to hold himself back any longerand interrupted. “Xiao Family’s young Lord has been talking for a while but hasyet to say anything of significance. Instead of letting you continue asking theseboring questions, it is better to just state that your opinion in regards tothe boundaries between the inferior and superior is simply full of nonsense.”He looked at Feng Ming with a sardonic smile on his face.
By now, other than Feng Ming’s words on “birth andequality,” there was no other statement that could cause as much shock.
Xi Lei’s Duke Ming’s far-sighted wisdom has inspiredawe throughout the lands. Everyone present, whether they approved of his viewsor not, was really looking forward to the explosive drama he would cause withhis strong countenance and impressive force. But, listening till now, there hasbeen nothing remarkable. Instead, it was like he was delaying for time. Seeingthis, their impression of Feng Ming inevitably began to worsen.
Zi Yan also started to become serious and secretlywrote words on Rong Hu’s palm asking if they should provide assistance or not.
Rong Hu fixed his gaze on the Master of Condemnation,Su Jin Chao, and slowly shook his head.
With his understanding of Duke Ming, usually when itseemed like he was about to lose face, he would come out victorious.
No matter what, despite the pressure of the audience’seyes on him, Feng Ming at least maintained an excellent degree of elegance andstrength.
“Assistant Ambassador really wishes to hear what Ihave to say?”
Su Jin Chao sneered aggressively. “Of course, do nottell me there is anything here that hinders the young Lord from opening his mouth?”
“Then I will boldly announce my view on this matter.”Feng Ming faced his surroundings and with great momentum in his posture, gotready to speak.
His awe-inspiring posture had gone through manytransformations under the tutelage of Rong Hu and his maids. On top of that,being together with Rong Tian for so long has cultivated his naturaltemperament, exemplifying the beautiful and handsome features inherited fromhis mother, Lady Yao Ye. His appearance had the elegant demeanour of anexcellent noble. From head to toe, he gave off the impression of gracefulness whenothers looked at him.
The gracefulness he indifferently revealed, evenroyalty and nobles would find it difficult to show off freely.
Just as expected, having a good posture was really important!
