Seeing Tang Fei fall silent, the old man thought he was reluctant and let out a cold laugh, saying, "Oh, worried about your little girlfriend? Afraid she might be in danger?"
Tang Fei looked at the old man and said, "Once you're involved in the struggle for power, how can there be no danger? Entering into the nobility is as deep as the sea, especially heartless is the Emperor's Family..."
"Scheming and deceit, mutual distrust, life-and-death struggles have been played out for thousands of years, brothers killing each other, fathers and sons murdering each other, disregarding human relationships, it has always been so..."
"However, from what I know of Phoenix, she has no intention of fighting for power."
"Ambition isn't innate; it needs to be nurtured, guided, encouraged by someone stirring up trouble..." The old man's voice was full of seduction, like the serpent that tempted Adam and Eve to taste the forbidden fruit.
He looked at Tang Fei and said, "You are the best candidate."
