Zi Yan’s 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. “When infants are born, their views are clear,like white paper, with an infinite amount of possibilities… How could theirfamily’s background be the only thing that determines their future paths?”


Su Jin Chao openly showed his disdain towards FengMing’s statement. He had an amused expression on his face, his thoughts wereinconceivable as he stared at Feng Ming. “What cannot be determined? Someonewho is born a noble will, of course, receive a noble’s education. He will growup to be a lofty character, wise and reliable. However, assuming he is born asa commoner instead. From childhood, he will be subjected to a coarse 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.”


“What if a baby is born noble, 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?”


With Feng Ming’s quick retort, Su Jin Chao momentarilyfroze.


In order to obtain his current position, he had his positionat birth and his friendship with Xi Lei’s 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 assemblies 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.


Even if he has never eatenpork, he has witnessed them running plenty of times. Even though he wassimple, 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?

”If a commoner, for some reason, is raisedup by a noble man, when he grows up, how he is to be considered?” Feng Mingasked a second question.


Su JIn Chao’s face began to change colours.“This… of course…”


“Of course what?”


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 lei’s ambassador. With his deputybeing questioned, he could not just remain on the side doing nothing.


“Young Lord of the Xiao Family…” while SuJin Chao was still hesitating to answer, Hao Yuan Jiang coughed and beganspeaking. “Just now, the two situations you brought up are not of commonoccurrence. They cannot be considered an argument towards the differentiation between commoners and nobles. I also think thatthe young Lord’s 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 thenobles, and the nobles control the commoners. Without the nobility, how couldwe have come so far in life?”


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 spoke… he really nailed it to the point. He was much more skilled comparedto that brat, Xiao 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 could… 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 ambassador to reveal himself…


Ai… since this matter has already turnedout like this, he unwillingly will have to continue his bold act.
