Wang Yue froze for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "You mean Zhao Huangchao did something that upset Dragon Tiger Mountain?"
Xu Weixiong smiled and reminded him, "Cao Changqing and Zhang Fuyao could both tell that you carried dragon energy. Only people with great cultivation could see that.
"Even that alone was enough for them both to place their bets on you. What do you think would happen if someone could raise a dragon? Wouldn't everyone's hearts turn toward him?"
Wang Yue furrowed his brow and asked uncertainly, "You mean Zhao Huangchao was raising a dragon on Dragon Tiger Mountain?"
Xu Weixiong smiled. "Of course. The Liyang Dynasty intends to use the fortune of Eastern Yue and Western Shu to bolster the Liyang Dynasty."
Wang Yue frowned, puzzled. "But when I was at Huishan, I didn't see any dragon energy in the direction of Dragon Tiger Mountain!"
Seeing Wang Yue's doubts, Xu Weixiong explained, "Raising a dragon isn't easy. It takes a very long time."
Wang Yue heard her out and said casually, "In that case, forget it. When it's fully grown, I can kill a dragon and make an example of it!"
Xu Weixiong didn't press him. She smiled and said, "Since you don't want to kill a young dragon, after I've visited my teacher, we can head to Northern Liang together. When you return from Northern Mang, I'll go with you to Southern Zhao!"
Wang Yue smiled. "Sounds good. While you're studying, I can meet some of the scholars at Shangyin Academy and see if any of them are willing to go to Southern Zhao."
Xu Weixiong bowed to Wang Yue, then turned and left.
After making arrangements for Jiang Ni and the others, Wang Yue began meeting the scholars.
