Zi Yanās hatred for Su Jin Chao rose as he continuedthrowing insults at the commoners. However, he never expected that once FengMing opened his mouth, those two sentences would be spoken. He felt like hisbrooding mind had been calmed, and he was stunned to find an inexplicable heatwell up from within him.
Feng Ming ignored the uproar from the surroundings andcontinued stating his opinion. āWhen infants are born, their views are clear,like white paper, with an infinite amount of possibilitiesā¦ How could theirfamilyās background be the only thing that determines their future paths?ā
Su Jin Chao openly showed his disdain towards FengMingās statement. He had an amused expression on his face, his thoughts wereinconceivable as he stared at Feng Ming. āWhat cannot be determined? Someonewho is born a n.o.ble will, of course, receive a n.o.bleās education. He will growup to be a lofty character, wise and reliable. However, a.s.suming he is born asa commoner instead. From childhood, he will be subjected to a coa.r.s.e and lowlylife. Never would he have the opportunity to study poetry and literature.Ultimately, he will grow up to be a rough and stupid man.ā
āWhat if a baby is born n.o.ble, but is kidnapped frombirth, sold, and is, unfortunately, forced to live life as a commoner? When hegrows up, what is he considered to be? Is he wise and reliable or rough andstupid?ā
With Feng Mingās quick retort, Su Jin Chao momentarilyfroze.
In order to obtain his current position, he had his positionat birth and his friends.h.i.+p with Xi Leiās current king to thank for. After all,he was not originally a strong debater. The many criticisms towards the GraceOrder he spoke of today were all copied from the discussions during multiplecourt a.s.semblies in Xi Lei. Now that Feng Ming was directly confronting him, itwas difficult to continue hiding his lack of wisdom in comparison to hisopponent.
Feng Ming was the opposite of him.
<b>Even if he has never eatenpork, he has witnessed them running plenty of times.</b> Even though he wa.s.simple, Feng Ming had formerly encountered people like Bo Ling, Third Princess,Lu Dan, the Ministry of Rites, that old witch, and even played a few roundswith Ruo Yan. How could Su Jin Chao stand on the same pedestal as those people?

āIf a commoner, for some reason, is raisedup by a n.o.ble man, when he grows up, how he is to be considered?ā Feng Mingasked a second question.
Su JIn Chaoās face began to change colours.āThisā¦ of courseā¦ā
āOf course what?ā
Hao Yuan Jiang internally admitted thatthey had ended up in a big mess and secretly sighed.
He originally did not want to implicatehimself in this matter, but he was still Xi leiās amba.s.sador. With his deputybeing questioned, he could not just remain on the side doing nothing.
āYoung Lord of the Xiao Familyā¦ā while SuJin Chao was still hesitating to answer, Hao Yuan Jiang coughed and beganspeaking. āJust now, the two situations you brought up are not of commonoccurrence. They cannot be considered an argument towards the differentiation between commoners and n.o.bles. I also think thatthe young Lordās questions do not explain the viewpoint you stated earlier. Theworld should have order and there needs to be a division between inferior andsuperior individuals. That is why the royal family exists. They rule over then.o.bles, and the n.o.bles control the commoners. Without the n.o.bility, how couldwe have come so far in life?ā
Feng Ming was secretly left speechless.
Ginger really does become spicy as it ages.This old fellow seemed slow, his whole face showing off his ignorance, but whenhe spokeā¦ he really nailed it to the point. He was much more skilled comparedto that brat, Su.
Feng Ming understood that current point ofview clashed with the ideal of the majority. Winning this argument would beextremely difficult.
There was no way he couldā¦ after all, he was not SuQin or Zhang Yi. He had merely hoped to fool that Su Jin Chao.
[TLN: Su Qin and Zhang Yi - famous period of the Warring Statesdiplomat and strategist. Although Zhang Yi and Su Qin's political views are notthe same, but they are not strangers.]
He never would have thought it wouldprovoke the amba.s.sador to reveal himselfā¦
Aiā¦ since this matter has already turnedout like this, he unwillingly will have to continue his bold act.
