The spiritual masters wouldn't look down on him just because he was an ordinary person, because whether they were Chinese spiritual masters or ordinary people, everyone shared the same goal: [May our country be safe and sound!]
Therefore, we need everyone's joint efforts. Everyone understands this principle, which is why China is one of the most powerful countries in the world.
Feng Ling smiled and nodded, then bowed to Hua Tianyun.
He also realized that the reason Yan Dingyun hadn't refused his visit was probably because the Chinese government officials had long wanted to meet him.
"Enough with the small talk, let's begin today's meeting. I can probably guess what you've called us here for. Social reform, right?"
Huatianyun got straight to the point.
Yan Dingyun nodded and explained his thoughts and plans to everyone present.
After he finished speaking, some high-ranking officials couldn't help but say:
"Are you suggesting that China should temporarily abandon its economic development and fully support you?"
"But you know that this means our national strength will stagnate for a long time. Moreover, the people may not necessarily think that such a society is good. If it doesn't work, the cost of trial and error is too high."
Yan Dingyun nodded and said:
"Indeed, I don't know how long it will take to complete and see results. I also know that if it succeeds, that will be fine, but if it fails, China's loss will be more than just a few years."
"But sir, this is the trend of the world. If no one is willing to be the pioneer, why shouldn't we, China, be the pioneer? A truly powerful nation must dare to be the pioneer of reform."
"You make it sound so simple!"
Those high-ranking officials still found it absurd.
Imagine if social reforms were implemented; most of the current economic system would collapse and cease to exist. Such a massive upheaval would leave the people feeling uneasy, and without unease, how could the nation be secure? This is far too risky.
China does not want to launch this plan unless absolutely necessary.
Many people in the room expressed their opposition, and the atmosphere immediately became awkward.
Gradually, people turned to look at Hua Tianyun, waiting for his words.
Hua Tianyun crossed his fingers in front of him, his thumbs gently circling around his body—a habit he had when he was thinking. He kept his head down, making it impossible to see his expression or figure out what he was thinking.
After a moment of silence in the office, Hua Tianyun's deep voice slowly rang out:
"While the future outcome is certainly uncertain, to say they were pioneers..."
As he spoke, he slowly raised his head, looked at the wind chimes, and revealed a kind smile like that of an elder:
“Isn’t this Feng family head a pioneer of our Chinese nation?”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Feng Ling. Yan Dingyun frowned. He hadn't expected Hua Tianyun to have such a high opinion of Feng Ling.
Feng Ling's lips twitched, and she quickly said:
"I'm flattered, I'm flattered..."
He had a bad feeling!
This guy is flattering himself; he definitely has some trouble he wants to bother with!
Hua Tianyun laughed heartily:
“Patriarch Feng, there’s no need to be so modest. We all know about the social reform experiments you’ve been conducting in the island nation, and we also know that the experiments are progressing quite well. The education system will be basically perfect in a while.”
Feng Ling gave an awkward smile. He had thought before that since the island nation was so large, there must be many spies from other countries.
However, he couldn't be bothered to care, since it was all pointless. In the face of absolute force, fancy tricks were useless.
Who cares if he's a spy or not, as long as he works for me.
"I dare not call myself a pioneer, but President Hua, if there is anything I can do to help you, I will do so at my discretion. Although I have the identity of a demon, I am also a demon of China, and my actions are all for China. My loyalty is beyond question."
Fengling herself almost believed what Yan Dingyun said, but then Yan Dingyun suddenly spoke up:
"No need, just take care of your own piece of land."
Yan Dingyun was determined not to cooperate with Fengling; the social transformation of China should absolutely not be interfered with by Fengling.
Fengling didn't say anything about it, she just smiled.
Hua Tianyun looked at the wind chimes and said:
"Patriarch Feng, why don't you find an opportunity to take us to your experimental base so we can learn something?"
The wind chime was taken aback upon hearing this...
Although China is not an enemy in Fengling's heart, opening her own door is still too risky.
Seeing the wind chimes hesitate, Hua Tianyun smiled and said:
"If you're not comfortable with that, you can just let us ordinary people go."
"No!"
Yan Dingyun immediately interrupted, saying that although they were ordinary people, they were anything but.
These are all important officials who maintain the balance and connection between the spiritual master world and ordinary society. Sending them to the Feng family's territory is no different from sending lambs to the slaughter.
Feng Ling looked at Hua Tianyun, his mind racing. He could indeed feel Hua Tianyun's sincerity.
But what is the intention?
Why not just send some subordinates, or personally lead these high-ranking officials?
However, since they wanted to go, Fengling didn't mind.
“Of course, if Chairman Hua would be so kind as to grace us with his presence, my entire clan would certainly welcome him.”
Hua Tianyun smiled upon hearing this:
"The whole clan? Hahaha...Good!"
The location where the two negotiated was an island nation. In theory, it is a country, even though the island nation's officials have all fled.
However, Fengling still used "the whole clan" instead of "the whole country," which shows that Fengling did not want to establish an independent country and become king. He was showing that he was still a member of the Chinese nation, which made Hua Tianyun very gratified.
