My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 311 The Strange Old Man
The title of Shangshu Di.

study.

Zeng Anmin sat upright in front of Zeng Shilin.

The father and son had not seen each other for more than two months.

Sitting together again, Zeng Anmin felt inexplicably reserved.

"Tell me, what trouble have you gotten yourself into in Jiang Kingdom?"

Zeng Shilin's gaze was heavy.

He stared at the hand under Zeng Anmin's case, which was clenched into a fist.

What Zeng Anmin said during the meal was utterly absurd.

It's even a bit ridiculous.

"How can you call it causing trouble?"

Zeng Anmin muttered, "I'm only doing this for my own health..."

"Humph!"

Speaking of this, Zeng Shilin became increasingly angry, and his gaze sharpened:

"Why didn't you tell your father you were unwell?!"

There was a hint of anger in his voice.

"I didn't want you to worry too much, and besides, I've already solved this myself, haven't I?"

Zeng Anmin looked up and said weakly:

"Besides, even if I told you, you might not know."

Before you left, you only told your father that you wanted to travel the world and find an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Zeng Shilin sat upright with a stern face, a sign that he was about to lose his temper.

"That's one reason. The second reason is that I was accidentally tricked by him during the battle with the Xuanzhen Division disciples and was infected with his strange energy."

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath and said, "However, we have already found the Heavenly Lotus and successfully resolved the strange energy."

"And this misfortune turned out to be a blessing in disguise, allowing him to successfully comprehend the Lesser Questioning of the Mind and reach the fourth rank."

"The Jiang Kingdom is a perilous place." Zeng Shilin slowly placed his hand on the armrest of the chair, looking at Zeng Anmin expressionlessly.

"You said you were going to go to Jiangnan, and I knew you were going back to Liangjiang Prefecture... but I never expected you would actually go to Jiang Kingdom!"

My dad keeps bringing up this issue.

Zeng Anmin knew he couldn't avoid it, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, Father, I know I was wrong. From now on, I will definitely report to you before I travel, and I will send letters home no matter where I go."

"Ah."

Zeng Shilin nodded slowly, then his gaze became serious:

"You just said you killed the Southern King... as well as Bi Fang, and Empress Gu Xiangnan..."

With each story he told, Zeng Shilin felt a chill run down his spine.

"Let me tell you the story slowly..." Zeng Anmin coughed lightly, and then he mentioned that when he was in the capital of the Holy Dynasty, he met Wuxin Daoren, and then he took Wuxin Daoren to Li Jian's mansion to confiscate his property and encountered the teleportation array.

Then, in the secret chamber of that teleportation array, he obtained a Rank 1 talisman and the Jianghu faction, Meiyu Tower. After leaving the Holy Dynasty, he encountered Bai Ziqing by chance.

He went to Jiang Kingdom as an envoy with Bai Ziqing, then killed the King of the South, and then impersonated the King of the South to reach an agreement with the Empress through the chat group of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

He then cleverly made the Southern King "disappear," and then had a chance encounter with the Empress at the Imperial Music Bureau...

Anyway, he told his father everything that happened in Jiang Kingdom without missing a single word.

"That Daniel Wu, is that you?!"

The old man's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

“Yes, it’s me.” Zeng Anmin nodded seriously.

Then he looked up at his father blankly and asked:

"What? The news spread so fast? You already know the name Daniel Wu?"

"It's more than just knowing?" The old man's expression became incredibly complicated.

"Rumors circulated that Daniel Wu made a name for himself in the capital city of Jiang Kingdom at the beginning of last month, becoming the Empress's lover."

"Moreover, according to reliable sources, he is from the Wu clan of Liangjiang in our Holy Dynasty."

At this point, the old man's face also turned from laughing to crying:

"In the past two days, the court has been arguing fiercely about this Daniel Wu."

"A group of court officials demanded a thorough investigation of the Wu family in Liangjiang."

"Another group of court officials felt that not only should they not conduct a thorough investigation, but they should also keep the Wu family in check and contact Wu Yanzu through the Wu family. If they could develop him into a spy for our Great Sage, they could manipulate the politics of the Jiang Kingdom." "But they never expected that the officials in the court would be like fools, and have been played by you."

Who would have thought that the person stirring up trouble in the Jiang Kingdom was none other than his own eldest son standing right in front of him...

"You weren't involved too, were you?" Zeng Anmin's expression turned strange.

"Cough cough."

The old man coughed lightly and waved his hand, saying, "I would not stoop to such despicable means as interfering in the internal affairs of another country through a mere male concubine."

"My father is noble."

"Hmm." Zeng Shilin stroked his beard gently, then looked at Zeng Anmin thoughtfully and said:

"Is Guanglingzi of the Fu Sect now in your hands?"

"Yes." Zeng Anmin's mind stirred slightly, and the jade tablet in his sea of ​​consciousness began to shimmer with light.

The next moment, a transparent spirit sprang out from his sea of ​​consciousness.

The spirit had a handsome face, was about forty years old, and had a ruddy complexion, giving off the air of a highly accomplished Taoist master.

"The Taoist of Guangling greets young friend Zeng."

As soon as the spirit appeared, it smiled and bowed to Zeng Anmin.

"Huh? Who is this...?"

Guanglingzi looked up at Zeng Shilin.

“My father,” Zeng An replied lazily.

"So it's Lord Zeng! My apologies for not recognizing you."

Guang Lingzi quickly bowed to her father again.

“Sect Master Guangling.” Zeng Shilin’s face turned cold upon seeing the spirit.

"So it was you who conspired with Li Jian to harm my Great Sage's kingdom?"

Uh.

A hint of embarrassment crossed Guang Lingzi's face. He gave a dry laugh and said:

"Lord Zeng, this cooperation was initiated entirely by Li Jian; I have never encouraged or supported it..."

"Without any encouragement, how could a demonic zombie capable of contending with a second-rank ancestor have sprung up from a crack in a rock?" Zeng Shilin did not let him off easily.

He raised his chin, his gaze sharp, as if he were judging a criminal.

As he spoke, the aura of an extreme Confucian cultivator at the third-grade level of the "Holding Firewood" realm overflowed from his body.

The pressure caused Guang Lingzi's spirit some pain.

"Lord Zeng, I have often regretted my past mistakes. Please do not be so ruthless and give me a chance to atone for them."

"Humph!"

After giving him a lecture, the old man snorted coldly, slowly withdrawing his imposing aura, and looked at Guang Lingzi indifferently, saying:

"From now on, stay behind my son and never have any other thoughts."

"Otherwise, even if I find your original body and merge with you, let alone your current spiritual form, I will still subject you to the Heavenly Thunder of Ten Thousand Lightning!"

"must!"

A bitter smile appeared on Guanglingzi's face.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

He was at the mercy of others, like a fish on a chopping board; he had nothing to say.

"Alright, Father, stop teasing him. With the jade token given by the Eastern Ancestor, how he deals with it is just a matter of my hand."

With a gentle wave, Zeng Anmin stored it in the jade tablet.

"Ah."

Zeng Shilin nodded calmly, then looked up, his gaze deep and unfathomable, and said:

"Tell me, what's really going on between you and Empress Gu Xiangnan?"

Zeng Anmin was taken aback at first, then his brows relaxed and he grinned, saying:

"How about I go to Jiang Kingdom and become a son-in-law?"

"you dare!"

Dad's eyes widened suddenly.
