If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 177 The great scholars here are not pedantic
Zhong Sanyuan was horrified.

As the saying goes, a gentleman's word is as good as gold. Although the third princess was not a gentleman, she was of noble status. She said in public that she would kneel. Even if she did not kneel, the news would be enough to cause a sensation.

Obviously, the third princess already knew Li Yanmo's identity, so she used this method to test him!
While Zhong Sanyuan was brainstorming, Li Yanmo was also brainstorming.

Li Yanmo was sure that the third princess in front of him was definitely not joking. If he did not agree, the third princess would really kneel down.

"Okay everyone, I might have to talk to this Third Princess for a bit, don't worry."

Li Yanmo stood up and tilted his head towards the bamboo forest behind the school, indicating that the third princess should go there to talk.

Zhong Sanyuan thought that the words "don't worry" were meant for him, so he smiled and nodded, "Brother Li, you'd better hurry up. The business here can't survive without you."

But Li Yanmo was actually looking at Ji Fa.

After entering the bamboo forest, the third princess raised her hand to set up a soundproof barrier, crossed her arms over her chest, and raised her chin with pride.

"Is Tianxu Tower planning to support my eighth brother?"

"What happens if I answer yes?"

After a brief silence, the third princess blinked pitifully like a drowned rat.

"Um, can you give me a chance to show my talents?"

Li Yanmo sighed inwardly, "Third Princess, you're a girl, are you still afraid of being forced to sit on the throne? You can't even get past the Confucian scholar, right?"

"Twenty thousand or twenty thousand years ago, that might have been the case," the Third Princess frowned and smiled bitterly. "Back then, the princes were responsible for carrying the heavy burdens and fighting for the throne. We princesses only needed to live the lives we wanted happily. Every concubine in the harem wanted to have a daughter."

"But the problem is that those great scholars are ordinary people. The longest-lived one is only 150 years old. The rate of replacement is even faster than that of Emperor Yu."

"Young scholars saw the talents and achievements of each generation of princesses, but due to the rules they had to ignore them. When they were about to die, they would say things they dared not say in their youth, or leave behind some authentic works."

"From generation to generation..."

At this point, Li Yanmo understood what the Third Princess meant. "Now the great scholar has no prejudice against letting the princess become the empress? And... is very supportive?"

The Third Princess's mouth moved, her eyes bloodshot. "Nonsense! This is sheer nonsense! How can the laws of our ancestors be changed so easily? Where are the pedantic scholars? I'm counting on their pedantry to save my life!"

Li Yanmo was in a complicated mood.

Li Yanmo was not surprised at all by the result.

Ji Lie once said that Dayu hoped that the entire dynasty would always be in a vigorous state. No matter how pedantic the Confucian scholars living in it were, they would definitely change after being influenced by hundreds or thousands of generations.

"Uh... I remember that Dayu once had a bloodthirsty empress who claimed the throne by carrying the heads of her brothers and sisters? So what's the real situation?"

"Foolishly believing he had the support of a great scholar, he was ultimately tricked by the other princes and princesses. He was forced to claim the throne by using the heads of his brothers and sisters. Rumors even circulated that he had actively blackmailed Emperor Yu into abdicating." The Third Princess, as if she had seen her own future, covered her face with her hands, her shoulders shaking. "Because that man's ability to handle government affairs would rank among the top five among all the previous Emperors of Yu, the great scholars began to reflect on their actions from that moment on."

"Even so, there was only one generation of empresses. The princes are the ones who bear the greatest pressure."

Li Yanmo felt that the Third Princess in front of him was worrying too much and wanted to persuade her, but the Third Princess seemed to have been touched on some sore spot and her expression became even more resentful.

"This generation of princes ranks first among all previous generations in terms of internal circulation. This is also the reason why Emperor Yu has been reluctant to appoint a crown prince."

"This... Third Princess, everything should be based on first come, first served. I've already promised Jifa. How about this? Supporting the prince and the princess doesn't conflict. Once this matter is over, we can discuss it again."

Seeing Li Yanmo's embarrassment, the Third Princess knew that his behavior had gone beyond the limit, so she stopped pestering him and nodded. "Private matters are over, and now it's official business. Master Li, I've actually been observing you for a while. Are you planning to wipe out Chi Che in one fell swoop?"

Li Yanmo recalled the naked people of Chiche worshipping the demon. A light flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled slightly, "Third Princess, this Chiche incident is ultimately Dayu's home turf. I just saw some business opportunities and wanted to make some extra money." "Really? Well, you don't have to call me Third Princess before or after. Just call me Ji Ling'er."

"The arrival of the ancient demon clan means that other demon clans will soon arrive. I'm afraid your business will be targeted soon."

"If you have any trouble, just call me."

Ji Ling'er didn't ask too many questions. She patted Li Yanmo's shoulder generously and left.

Back at the academy, Ji Fa suddenly rushed in front of Li Yanmo, looking very anxious. However, because Zhong Sanyuan and Hu Rongzuo were still watching, he held it in for a long time and finally whispered a question, "Then the Third Princess didn't seduce you, did she?"

Li Yanmo gave Ji Fa a strange look and said, "Not really. The Third Princess seems to have been observing our business and saw that I am a good-looking man, so she wanted to try to recruit me."

Zhong Sanyuan suddenly realized, "I've heard that the Third Princess is ambitious and wants to become the second empress. It seems to be true."

Li Yanmo was in a complicated mood.

This rumor was most likely spread by other princes and princesses.

If Ji Ling'er really wanted to take the throne of Emperor Yu, the other princes and princesses would have come to her house with drums and gongs to offer human heads and steamed buns, and asked Ji Ling'er to carry them to see Emperor Yu.

Zhong Sanyuan's eyes turned and he looked at Li Yanmo, "Brother Li, what do you think?"

"It doesn't matter who Emperor Yu is."

Anyway, he must be the worst one.

Zhong Sanyuan seemed to be thinking about something.

Tianxu Tower even dared to refine a generation of Emperor Lie into a guardian spirit, so naturally it didn't care who Emperor Yu was.

"It's that the ancient demon clan is a bit too high-profile. I'm afraid it will hinder our business," Li Yanmo sat down again and played with the chess pieces.

Zhong Sanyuan used Sky Eye to broadcast the entire process live.

If Ji Ling'er hadn't interrupted, Jiujianying and the other ancient monsters would probably have directly slaughtered all the Chiche people within their sight.

That ferocious look that treated people like ants was genuine.

Li Yanmo's fingers holding the chess piece tightened slightly.

After hanging out with Monk Dayu for so long, he almost forgot what the world of immortal cultivation was like.

Zhong Sanyuan keenly noticed the hint of hostility in Li Yanmo.

Within half a day, demons from all over the place came to Chi Che in a very high-profile manner. When they saw the dress of the Chi Che people, their reactions were similar.

First he was stunned, then surprised, but his reaction was exactly the same when he noticed that his clothes were not as good-looking as those of the latecomer.
