Uncle San knew that this ancestor was obviously one of those clan elders who had been practicing martial arts in seclusion. He didn't understand Chu Fan's current status in the hearts of the Wei people. Moreover, as a near-grandmaster, he naturally had his own pride, which was why he said such words.

Chu Xiang shook his head and said, "Old Ancestor, I have to say something unpleasant. You may have forgotten what the martial arts world is like. The martial arts world is full of intrigue and deception, and especially for those of you who are older and have very high martial arts grades, you often represent more power and calculation in the eyes of martial artists.

In comparison, everything Your Majesty has done for the State of Wei over the past year has benefited the country and its people. These warriors have seen all of this in their hearts. With Your Majesty loving the people like his own children, what reason do they have to not trust him?

The elder's face turned red. He knew that what Chu Xiang said made a lot of sense. After all, it was no joke that old people become wise. As for his group of people, let alone gaining the trust of those sects and forces, even if he and others stood in front of those sects and forces, they would suspect that he and others had some purpose in coming to their sect.

Chu Xiang ignored the old man's reaction and continued, "You must know that the news of the Weiwu Academy built by His Majesty was spread throughout the country of Wei through newspapers. Not every warrior on the Shengwu Continent can read, but as long as there is one who can read and spread this information, do you think His Majesty and the court would dare to go back on their word?"

Weiwu Academy is the second university in Kaifeng City and one of the only two universities. It also has the name and motto nominated by His Majesty, which is enough to show how much His Majesty values ​​this academy.

Furthermore, these warriors can see that they can gain a lot of benefits by joining the Weiwu Academy, which is why they want to join. After all, people don't do anything without profit. If they don't see tangible benefits, they won't be willing to join.

Another elder spoke up, "Although the number of warriors gathered through the Weiwu Academy is large, they are mostly low-ranking warriors. Warriors from the larger sects wouldn't look down upon the status of an official in the Wei court. Therefore, it's impossible for them to join the Weiwu Academy. Then, if our royal family follows His Majesty to fight against the Xiongnu and the Gan Kingdom, and if these sects, without our suppression, cause trouble within the Wei Kingdom, wouldn't we be attacked from both sides?"

Chu Xiang said, "This is indeed a problem, but it's already great to have the support of so many warriors. As for how to deal with the warriors of the major sects, I believe His Majesty also has his own plan, but we just don't know it yet."

Chu Fan now held a considerable reputation within the imperial family. They placed near-blind faith in him, believing him to be omniscient and almighty. After all, many in Kaifeng believed that the current Wei Emperor was a deity sent down from heaven to save them. This belief gradually spread among the imperial family, especially with the prophecy given by Master Puhong, which further strengthened its credibility.

The elders all said to Third Uncle Chu Xiang, "Little Third Son, go ask the remaining major clans how to unite with the Wei royal family when Wei launches a war."

The Third Uncle was the closest person to Chu Fan in the royal family. In the past, it was the Third Uncle who contacted Chu Fan when there was something going on. Now, it was natural for the Third Uncle to come forward and ask Chu Fan for a countermeasure.

When the Third Uncle entered the palace, Chu Fan was still playing in the Imperial Garden with Mu Xi and the others. Because Liu Xueyu's pregnancy was now more obvious, Chu Fan was even more careful to protect her, fearing that anything might go wrong.

Changsun Pingqing and the other women were looking forward to the day their child would be born, and also to the day they would hold their wedding with Chu Fan. They would also give Chu Fan children and grow old together. Although they knew that as the King of Wei, Chu Fan couldn't have only them as his women, they didn't mind. Knowing that Chu Fan's love for them was genuine was enough.

At this time, Eunuch Li walked into the Imperial Garden and whispered to Chu Fan, "Your Majesty, Prince Xiang of Chu is requesting an audience outside the Imperial Garden. He said he has something important to discuss."

Chu Fan replied, "Please invite Third Uncle in."

Eunuch Li walked out of the imperial garden quickly, and at this time, Third Uncle walked quickly into the imperial garden. When Third Uncle came in, Liu Xueyu, Mu Xi and others consciously stepped aside to prevent themselves from affecting their discussions.

Although Chu Fan was a very easygoing person and trusted them very much, and would not hide many things from them, if they did not take the initiative to avoid the court ministers when they came to discuss important matters with Chu Fan, the King of Wei, then it would be that they did not know the rules.

You know, if a woman takes a man's kindness for granted, she will soon be abandoned. Not to mention that in front of a wise monarch, she should know how to behave properly and be polite.

Of course, if the emperor is a tyrant, he may indulge himself excessively, but in return the emperor's rule will no longer be stable and may be at risk of being overthrown at any time.

Mu Xi and the others were intelligent. They wouldn't let a trivial matter destabilize Chu Fan's rule and affect the stability of the entire Wei Kingdom. After all, their families currently held significant interests with His Majesty and the imperial family, and Chu Fan had always taken special care of them, entrusting them with important matters. They knew that upholding Chu Fan's authority was protecting their families' futures.

Seeing Mu Xi and the other girls leave on their own accord, Third Uncle's eyes flashed with approval. He then bowed to Chu Fan and said, "Your Majesty, the elders have asked me to ask what your Majesty thinks of the major sects in Wei."

Chu Fan didn't know why his uncle asked that question for a moment. Then he asked, "Hasn't the elders completely integrated the major sects of Wei?"

After all, when I first revealed to the royal elders that I was going to attack the Xiongnu and the Gan Kingdom, the elders told Chu Fan that they would find a way to integrate the major sects to strengthen the country. Now that the expedition is only a few months away, the elders have come to ask for my opinion on these sects, which clearly means that the integration has encountered difficulties.
