The Great Marsh Tian Clan really was a place that produced madmen, Jiang Wang thought.
From what Tian Chang and Tian He had said, he could piece together another facet of Tian Anping: one that was both ruthless and insane. That peerless prodigy and madman of rumor was gradually taking on a more concrete shape through the words and feelings of others.
This made Jiang Wang even more curious about Tian Anping's plans in the Near-Sea Archipelago. This mad prodigy had joined forces with Qing Xi and had made arrangements overseas... What exactly was he trying to do?
But Jiang Wang knew that, given Tian Anping's methods, he wouldn't get an answer no matter whom he asked. He could only search and uncover it himself.
And the answer he uncovered might well be far from pleasant.
Tian Anping wouldn't care whether Jiang Wang was a Fourth-rank Green Badge of Qi State or held a noble title.
"How deeply does your Tian Family understand the Near-Sea Archipelago?" Jiang Wang asked.
"That depends on what aspect you mean," Tian He said.
"Good." Jiang Wang nodded with satisfaction. "It seems you've gained a higher standing by following Tian Chang."
"My position is even more tenuous than you imagine," Tian He said.
It seemed he was deeply dissatisfied with his situation and had no desire to remain dependent on Tian Chang forever.
But it was also possible that he was deliberately putting on that air.
