Innate?

Hearing this word, Shangguan Ming’s eyelids twitched, and his eyes were filled with shock as he blurted out, “Do you know what you’re talking about?”

Chu Wei glanced at his discomposed uncle and could understand the other party’s emotions at this moment, as he had been in the same situation not long ago, even more so.

He nodded slowly, “I know. Uncle, that Lu Yuan possesses the innate potential, and it is even possible for him to break through within three to five years.”

Seeing Chu Wei confirming this, Shangguan Ming took a deep breath, calmed his emotions somewhat, and said with a bitter smile, “In that case, this Lu

Pingxi cannot be touched.”

This time, Shangguan Ming’s march had two objectives.

One of them was to retake Baling City and put down the Miao People’s rebellion in Dongting County.

The second was to seize the opportunity to purge the local area after quelling the Miao rebellion, and repossess the region ruled by the separatist military leaders and bring it back under the control of the imperial court.

However, now at a glance.

Lu Yuan had seventy thousand soldiers under his command who were still expanding their army, so it might eventually reach to a hundred thousand soldiers.

And he was at the pinnacle of Strength, and not far from Breaking through Innate.

With both personal martial prowess and elite strong generals under his command, no matter how one looked at it, this was a powerful force not much inferior to the Five Poisons.

If the imperial court takes action against Lu Yuan, it will undoubtedly lead to another war on the scale of quelling the Poison Sect rebellion.

Not only that.

There are many small military leaders in Dongting County besides Lu Yuan.

Wouldn’t the court’s attack on Lu Yuan alert those small military leaders?

So before they knew it, they might have started a chaotic war that would ruin Dongting County.

And an innate expert about to break through…

Shangguan Ming pondered this in his heart, then looked at Chu Wei and reconfirmed, “Is that Lu Yuan really at the pinnacle of the First-Class and about to break through?”

Chu Wei nodded again, “Definitely. I have seen other uncles in a state just before breaking through. Lu Pingxi is no worse than them, even superior. With such a state, Innate is not far away.”

Shangguan Ming nodded, finally accepting the reality, and couldn’t help but sigh, “It seems that Dongting County is indeed a land of outstanding people and immense natural resources, that within just a few years, two Innate masters were successively born. This world is becoming more and more unpredictable. ”Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m nôvelb(i)n.c(o)/m

After saying that, he turned to Chu Wei and asked, “I remember that this Lu

Pingxi is only about thirty years old, and he hasn’t gotten married yet, right?” Chu Wei was slightly taken aback, then nodded in agreement, “Indeed.” “Good.” Shangguan Ming smiled, thought for a moment, and then said to a younger person next to him, “Guangbai, take my name card and your sister Haimoon, and go to visit this Lu Pingxi.

Remember to be respectful and polite. This is an innate expert about to break through. In a few years, he will be on par with me and your father.

When you get there, you and your sister should consult this Lu Pingxi properly.

With such impressive cultivation, there must be many things you can learn from him.”

Upon hearing this, a young man in a white general’s robe was taken aback, then seemed to understand something, and laughed, “Father, don’t worry, I’ll go and tell my sister later. This time we go to Luyang, we will definitely make friends with Lu Pingxi.”

Chu Wei watched this scene, a bitter smile in his heart.

This Uncle!

After discovering that he could not do anything to Lu Pingxi, he immediately came up with the idea of winning him over.

However, it makes sense. An upcoming innate expert, if they can pull him to their side or even form a marriage alliance now, would undoubtedly be a great bonus.

As for the issue of identity?

Background is not important at all, an innate expert can smooth out all the gaps and be well-qualified to be Shangguan’s son-in-law.

It’s even uncertain whether Shangguan’s daughter will be good enough for him.

‘No, such a promising groom cannot be cheap for the Shangguan family. When I go back, I will report to the family head and select some outstanding young ladies from the clan. Before other families have reacted, I’ll get this Lu Pingxi first.’

Chu Wei thought this in his heart, continuing to chat with Shangguan Ming with a smile on his face, without revealing a thing.

But after their conversation, he immediately called for his attendants, rode a fast horse, and headed towards the capital.

At this time, Shangguan Ming’s children, Shangguan Guangbai and Shangguan Haimoon, hadn’t left yet?

Whenever the imperial court’s jinshi list was released in the past, there would always be those high -ranking families waiting to snatch the top candidates as ideal sons-in-law.

In the past, this kind of behavior was something that the top-ranked families of the Six Surnames and the Seven Clans would not even bother to engage in, even secretly ridiculing that it was an impolite affair conducted by lowly families without a proper familial legacy.

However, now that they encountered Lu Yuan, who possessed innate potential, the Shangguan and Chu families have become the subjects of their past ridicule.

In the past, they disdained it. Ultimately, it was just that the stakes were not high enough.

Now that the stakes are high, they’ve all become vulgar people.

In the fifth year of Hongdao’s reign, on the tenth day of the sixth month, the imperial army dispatched to suppress the Miao rebellion arrived at Changsha Prefecture in Dongting County.

On the fifteenth of the same month, after resting in Changsha Prefecture for five days, the army turned northward and arrived at Yueyang Prefecture, capturing the southernmost Xiangyin County City on the same day, killing all three thousand Miao people in the city.

Yueyang Prefecture was thus terrified, and the original Miao army garrisoned in various places hastily retreated, fleeing back to Baling City with thirty thousand Miao soldiers defending the city.

On the eighteenth, one hundred thousand imperial troops besieged Baling County City, while also dispatching troops in various directions to recapture the lost county cities of Yueyang Prefecture. In just a few days, Yueyang Prefecture was restored, with only the county city still occupied..
