Chen Tao could no longer harbor any doubts. Even with the blood feud against Bai Yu Men, it couldn't overshadow Xu Lie's sincerity. As for the casual assassination attempt by Chen Tao, it honestly felt a bit disrespectful. Deep down, Chen Tao was quite angry; did they really think he was just a decoration?
Since Xu Lie had opened this door and offered this opportunity, he shouldn't blame Chen Tao for seeking reasonable revenge: "Alright! I accept your terms! I will teach the person well." Even if the assassination succeeded and Xu Lie died, he would still ensure that Cang Hai Jue was taught properly before they parted ways.
This development had the audience buzzing with excitement, and a flurry of comments filled the screen.
"Confident, too confident, Prince!"
"The guy is really thick-headed; after being taken down by the Prince once, he still doesn't recognize his place."
"Who knows? Bai Nei might just pull off the assassination."
"I'm starting to like the Prince more and more; he's straightforward and his wickedness is refreshingly pure, even managing to lure the guy onto his pirate ship."
Xu Lie wanted to laugh because Chen Tao had completely fallen for the script. However, due to the filming, he could only keep reminding himself not to laugh and maintain his composure: "Very good."
"Take care of your injuries first. Starting tomorrow, you'll officially begin teaching the Sailors. Is three months enough time for them to grasp Cang Hai Jue?"
Chen Tao wasn't entirely sure how to respond. He had practiced some techniques at Bai Yu Men and had a basic foundation in martial arts, so entering Cang Hai Jue would only take a day or two at most. But as for Xu Lie's Sailors, it was uncertain; they might need to start from the basics of meridian points.
Plus, since it was his first time teaching, Chen Tao couldn't be certain: "I'll do my best, but is three months too rushed?"
"Not at all," Xu Lie replied casually. "Do you think I know about Cang Hai Jue for no reason?"
It turned out he had unexpectedly acquired a notebook and a Sea Chart written by Guan Cang Hai, who had created this technique. Guan Cang Hai had once traveled overseas and discovered a vast land where crops could yield multiple harvests in a year.
Xu Lie had read through the script, which made no mention of who created Cang Hai Jue or who left it behind; even Chen Tao was unaware. So why not let Xu Lie weave the story himself?
It was just right; with the Sea Chart purchased from the company, there was a reasonable excuse to bring it out.
"One and three ripe?!" Chen Tao, Song Qiao, and A Gang exclaimed in unison, their surprise revealing an unexpected harmony among them. The idea of one and three ripe was simply astonishing.
In Da Qian, crops in the hot southern regions might yield one or two harvests, while in the north, it was typically just one. The sudden news of overseas Fudi being able to produce three harvests was mind-boggling.
What kind of terrifying grain yield would that be? How many more people could be fed?
Song Qiao's gaze seemed to pierce through time as he envisioned endless waves of food pouring into Da Qian thanks to their prince's efforts, ensuring that the people of Da Qian would never face famine again.
A Gang was filled with fantasies as well, wondering if meals would soon consist of bowls overflowing with food.
Chen Tao was the most shocked among them. Back when he was at Bai Yu Men, he never felt truly full. He understood all too well the importance of grain.
Gradually, he began to realize why this prince before him was so determined to open up the seas and acquire the Sea Chart. The overseas Fudi was absolutely essential!
Compared to this, even the fact that the creator of the Sea Chart was an elder known as Guan Cang Hai hardly left any impression on Chen Tao’s mind.
