"You need not overthink it. You only need to know that from here on, you must make a name for yourselves and perform well, striving to catch the eyes of those great figures."
Hearing Li Chengfeng's uncertain, startled words, Zhou Dingyuan glanced at him and spoke in an even tone:
"You only need remember that it was the Martial Hall that taught you Aperture-Condensing Realm martial arts and lightness skills today."
"The achievements you have today, and even the opportunities that come later, are also because of the Martial Hall."
"In other words, everything you have was given to you by the imperial court."
As Zhou Dingyuan spoke, he looked at Li Chengfeng and Zhao Lie with a faint smile. "No matter what you encounter in the future, as long as you remember this and do not let a few honeyed words cloud your minds and drive you to do something foolish..."
"Then no matter what happens, I can ensure that you remain safe and sound—even grant you a bright future."
As Zhou Dingyuan spoke, he gave them another indifferent glance amid Li Chengfeng and Zhao Lie's still uncertain expressions, then continued:
"In a sense, you are lucky ones. At such a young age, you encountered such an opportunity and unexpectedly gained such strength."
"Even I feel envious when I think of it. Once this matter passes, with your current accumulation, you will soar into the heavens in a single leap."
"So there is no need to worry that there might be some problem involved. Even if there truly is some great problem, with your little shoulders, you could not stir up any waves or play any role in it."
As Zhou Dingyuan spoke, he watched them shake their heads again. There even seemed to be envy in his tone.
