Feng Jiu, due to his upbringing, possessed a resilience and ruthlessness unlike ordinary people.
Even Qing Yu had slightly underestimated Feng Jiu's ruthlessness.
It wasn't ruthlessness towards others, but towards himself. In just one day, the whole Divine Capital was abuzz with the news: the once "famous" Abolished Prince Feng Jiu had been ambushed at Tianyue Workshop several days prior, and now, his concealed injury had flared up. Confined to bed, he was but a few breaths away from stepping into his coffin.
Upon hearing the patrons at Yunlai Inn discussing these events, Qing Yu himself was slightly taken aback. His intention had been for Feng Jiu to use the assault by Zhang Qian Ding as leverage, threatening Zhang Qian Ding that, if he didn't comply, they would fake injuries to further coerce him. Afterwards, they could slowly and methodically take control of Zhang Haishan by using Zhang Qian Ding.
