Zhang Ershan looked at Ye Tianyi and said:
"Young Hero, you don't seem like an ordinary person. This old man offers you a kind reminder: if you insist on going, go to the Windward Empire. Don't go to the Divine Wind Empire."
Ye Tianyi nodded. "I understand. It's because the Divine Wind Empire might be conquered within a year, while the Windward Empire could last three to five years."
"No no no, that isn't the only reason."
"Oh?"
Ye Tianyi raised an eyebrow.
"Originally, these two empires were one empire. They only split apart and became two empires later on. And now, the Windward Empire's emperor is the younger brother of the Divine Wind Empire's emperor."
"So?"
Ye Tianyi asked.
"Thirty years ago, the Old Emperor passed away, and they fought over the Imperial Throne of the Divine Wind Empire. In the end, the throne fell into the elder brother's hands. From then on, the Divine Wind Empire's national strength steadily declined. The new emperor lacked ability, and for some unknown reason, his younger brother later left the Divine Wind Empire with a group of trusted followers and generals. From that point onward, the Divine Wind Empire fell apart, and he established the Northern Empire—the Windward Empire."
"Many of those trusted followers were even generals who had once served by the current emperor's side. But the facts proved that the Windward Empire had indeed grown stronger by the day. If this continued, it might truly become very powerful. The Divine Wind Empire, meanwhile, would certainly keep declining. So it's better to choose the Windward Empire. At least it's stable."
"Thank you." Ye Tianyi nodded.
"Sigh, young people are just too stubborn."
Zhang Ershan sighed, shook his head, and Walked Away.
"Young Master..."
Lin Ruoruo looked up at Ye Tianyi.
"Hmm?"
