With a serious look on his face, the Elder looked over to the Emperor, "I will leave several thoughts on what I have observed regarding Liu Tián Qǔ with you. Yes, he is moral, generous, and Liu Tián Qǔ value's human life. However, if you cannot win his heart, do not use him."
Elder Wang's unexpected words shocked everyone into silence. Finally, the Grand Prince managed to say, "Royal Grandfather, please explain so we can understand."
Looking deeply into the Emperor's eyes, Elder Wang said, "Do not judge Liu Tián Qǔ according to his age. He does not have the eyes of a child. Nor is he a person who values titles or wealth. Liu Tián Qǔ has the ability to quickly win and move the hearts of people. He also has the ability to direct the emotions in the hearts of others to his cause." The Elder said thinking of how fast Liu Tián Qǔ won over the shop assistants and even made them feel very proud of themselves.
"Most importantly, he is a double-edged sword with many facets that will not turn away in the face of death if he feels his cause is just. If you can win his heart, then the Tolling Lands would be blessed with wings that can help it soar to higher heights." flabbergasted everyone's shock only increased to hear the wise Elder describe a young 13-year boy in that manner.
"Let me remind you, child," the elder said to his grandson. "As an Emperor, some promises may inevitably have to be broken. And the hearts or expectations of some cast away in favor of the greater good. Now, even after Liu Tián Qǔ figured out Wang Fèn Yǒng identity, he still told him, 'Don't think of him as a nice person because he is not. He just believes in honoring a friend's true heart'. Knowing that you highly favor Wang Fèn Yǒng and that he will be going into negotiations with you, he still told him that. As calculating as you witnessed, Liu Tián Qǔ to be. Do you think that he failed to calculate his warning would reach your ears?"
The emperor's eyes popped open so wide they looked like they were about to roll out of his head. His bloodlust had long dissipated, and he forgot about everything in the face of this daring 13 years old boy. The Emperor yelled in anger, irritation, and annoyance. "He dares! He dares to threaten me!"

It took the Emperor several moments to force himself to calm down by taking deep breaths. The Emperor finally asked in a voice of displeasure, dissatisfaction, and obvious forced calm, "Royal Grandfather, are you saying he sent me a warning threaten me through Wang Fèn Yǒng?"
Had Liu Tián Qǔ been there, she would have screamed out in anger and shock, 'Grandfather, you're forcing logic here! What warning the Emperor?! Ah? How was I supposed to know that the Emperor favorites Wang Fèn Yǒng?! Who's here to tell me of these things?! Ah?! How was I supposed to know you used to be the emperor?! Ah?! I wouldn't have acted so wild in your shop had I'd known? And Grandfather, why are you sneaking around in medicine shops?! Ah?! Shouldn't you have been sitting quietly in the palace enjoying retirement when your age is this big? Grandfather, why are you finding trouble for me, ah?" Liu Tián Qǔ would have cried tears of blood.
"And what is this directing emotions business and winning hearts of the people business ah? Grandfather, I'm not even from your world!? Now that I'm here, I just want to enjoy life and have fun. Grandfather, don't go around twisting words and forcing logic! You're just finding trouble for me, ah!? She would have screamed and yelled in anger for getting shot while lying down.
Elder Wang had burst out in laughter at the Emperor's reaction. Others in the room carefully hid their amusement. However, Wang Fèn Yǒng was watching both the Emperor and Elder Wang with a heart full of dissatisfaction. He thought to himself, 'Am I the only one who remembers that the country is in a crisis here? These irresponsible people! What's kind of situation is this?!'
Chuckling Elder Wang said to the emperor, "The good news is your job is already half done. Liu Tián Qǔ has already claimed the Young Master's of Wang Royal Manor as friends."
"Humph." Emperor flicked his sleeve while shooting Elder Wang a dirty look.
Sudden the Elder turned serious and said to the Emperor, "I have shared my observations with you regarding Young Liu. Now I will leave with you a warning as well. Now the only reason I would bother even to waste time speaking of this Young Master. It is because I see that Young Liu is not a small fish that will only stay in its little pond swimming around until it dies, and not venture out into deeper waters. His path will inevitably cross with yours." Confusion and puzzlement lit the faces in the room as they wait for the Elder to share his thoughts with them.
