The night wind swept away the conversation in the night sky.
The negotiations between the elders did not affect the atmosphere inside the mansion.
Jiang Yu and Su Shijun were both somewhat at a loss over Zheng Qing's sudden suggestion.
Both came from Wizarding Families with Legendary Wizards presiding over their clans. They even carried Legendary Grade protective measures bestowed by their ancestors, so they naturally had a very clear understanding of what "Legend" meant.
"—Do you know what you're saying?"
Su Shijun drew in the fox tails beneath her and sat up straight, her expression grave as she looked at the wizard. "This isn't that simple..."
She glanced at the Ketu Spear hanging from Zheng Qing's belt, paused, then spoke again. "You should remember how many times the Moonlit Parliament struggled against the Alliance and the school just to obtain a single Forbidden Curse... any shift in Legendary power draws the attention of countless forces both within and outside the Alliance. It's no exaggeration to say that one tug sets everything in motion... in other words, this has nothing to do with personal likes or dislikes. For you, it falls under the school's public affairs."
Zheng Qing knew that Forbidden Curses were Legendary Grade powers.
He also knew that, to obtain a Forbidden Curse, the Moonlit Parliament and the Darkness Council had repeatedly violated the Alliance's prohibitions, venturing deep into Buji Island to abduct people at the risk of offending the school.
Even the Black Prison Incident, which had once sparked a war involving tens of thousands of wizards and demons, had ultimately been ignited by nothing more than a few fruits that could help Grand Wizards break through their limitations and glimpse the Legendary realm after eating them.
Zheng Qing understood perfectly well what being a Legend meant.
