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

Chapter 222: Just walked in and you act like an elder?

Leng Ningshuang's father, Leng Shanhe, is the prime minister of the current Dayu Dynasty, second only to the emperor.

It wasn't until he came face to face with this middle-aged man who looked intimidating without even getting angry that Li Yanmo reacted.

It seems that he didn't bring any gifts when he visited!

"You are Mr. Li Yanmo. My daughter has mentioned you to me many times. Now it seems... you are nothing special."

Leng Shanhe snorted coldly and turned to look at the maple tree in the yard. It seemed that Li Yanmo was not as interesting as this maple tree.

Li Yanmo was a little embarrassed. This was the first time he faced such a show of power from an elder, and he didn't know how to respond.

But Leng Ningshuang scratched her ears and said, "Brother Li, ignore him. He just likes to act pretentiously, and I didn't mention anything about you in front of him."

Even though Leng Shanhe had great cultivation, he felt a tightness in his chest and started coughing uncontrollably when he saw his own daughter trying to sabotage him.

"Brother Leng, what—"

Li Yanmo wanted to persuade Leng Ningshuang, but he spoke too quickly. Leng Ningshuang didn't react, but Leng Shanhe jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on.

"Who are you calling Brother Leng? Ningshuang is a girl, a girl!"

“…Brother Leng, I was just saying hello to you.”

Seeing Leng Shanhe looking like he was suffering from PTSD, Li Yanmo thought quickly and immediately bowed.

"If you feel offended, please forgive me."

"Call me? That's fine."

Leng Shanhe put his hands behind his back and raised his chin.

"You are quite courageous, young man, but those who want to achieve great things should not be bound by trivial matters. Considering your contribution to Dayu and your future achievements, I will continue to call you Brother Leng."

Leng Ningshuang's mouth twitched, and she looked at Li Yanmo with resentment on her face, "Brother Li, that's fine. You're acting like an elder right after we entered the house. I don't even dare to imagine what you're going to do later."

"Ahem - Miss Leng, I'm a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters. Now it's official business."

Li Yanmo was also very embarrassed to be caught between the father and daughter of the Leng family. It was not that Li Yanmo did not want to help Leng Ningshuang, but Leng Shanhe's spirit was obviously much more delicate than Leng Ningshuang's.

Leng Shanhe immediately put his hands on his hips, looking very proud.

"Hmph—then you two take your time—Brother Li, after finishing your business, come to my room and spend the rest of the night discussing our personal matters!"

Seeing that he was in trouble both internally and externally, Leng Ningshuang did not insist on holding on. He snorted coldly and turned away.

Li Yanmo had a strange expression on his face, and when he saw Leng Shanhe waving proudly at Leng Ningshuang's departing back, Li Yanmo's expression became even stranger.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yanmo reminded in a low voice, "Brother Leng, your daughter wants me to spend the night in her boudoir."

"Oh—so what?"

"..."

"Oh oh oh!"

Seeing that Leng Shanhe finally acted like a father, Li Yanmo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hold this."

Leng Shanhe took out a yellow talisman from his sleeve and placed it in Li Yanmo's hand.

"What is this?" "Ningshuang... has loved collecting strange things since she was little. If you hear strange noises or see strange things at night, don't be scared. Grab these yellow talismans and wait until dawn, and you'll be fine!"

Li Yanmo looked at the solemnly vowed Leng Shanhe, then glanced at the yellow talisman in his hand, which didn't seem to be joking. After a long silence, his expression stiffened. "Leng, Brother Leng, your daughter is still a virgin after all. If a man like me were to stay overnight in her room... I'm afraid it would affect her reputation!"

"It's okay. I don't expect her to get married anyway."

Seeing Leng Shanhe had said so much, Li Yanmo could only hold his forehead and sigh, "Brother Leng, let's talk about some official business. Emperor Yu once saved my life in Chiche. I don't believe that Emperor Yu would ignore the people of Dayu."

Talking about Emperor Yu, Leng Shanhe finally understood what a prime minister who was second only to the emperor and above everyone else should be like.

However, this prime minister, who was second only to the emperor and above everyone else, also had a worried look on his face.

"I've known Emperor Yu since we were kids. I know better than anyone how good he is at fighting. I really can't beat him. The previous Emperor Yu didn't listen to advice and provoke him without knowing the consequences. He got beaten so badly that if his mouth hadn't been covered, he would have cried out for his father."

"Well... I think I already know about this matter, but if possible, I don't want to know too many details," Li Yanmo couldn't help laughing.

It would be fine if he just listened to it normally, but the problem is that there is a restriction on his forehead imposed by Master Ji.

Calling her Aunt Jiang almost made him die of heartache. If he knew too many embarrassing things about Mr. Ji... other things would be fine, but it would be hard to say if it involved the contemporary Emperor Yu.

In order to prevent Leng Shanhe from talking too much, Li Yanmo quickly changed the subject.

"I heard that Emperor Yu seemed to have come into conflict with the Confucian school."

"This... is true. Ever since the Confucianists used the Jixia Academy to predict the future, they have been in a cold war with Emperor Yu. All the great Confucian scholars are unwilling to meet with Emperor Yu. In the past two years, the relationship between Emperor Yu and the princes and princesses has also become quite distant."

Leng Shanhe put his hands behind his back and shook his head helplessly.

"The Daoist sect has been restless in recent years. Many sects have been secretly contacting those commoner marquises and providing them with a lot of cultivation resources. Although it seems that the commoner marquises have not taken any suspicious actions so far, it is still very unsettling."

"The other commoners were watching too, and word spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred."

"If Dayu were to arbitrarily suppress them, it would only dampen morale. The world is too vast. To protect the common people from the monsters, the power of the common people is essential."

Li Yanmo thought for a moment and said, "It might be a strategy of sowing discord. Attacking the heart is the best strategy."

Leng Shanhe nodded and sighed helplessly, "So this time, the conflict between the noble marquis and the commoner marquis... although it was a bit rough, I support Emperor Yu. We must make a decision when necessary. If we leave it alone, sooner or later, something terrible will happen."

"A late train is an example."

Hearing this, Li Yanmo nodded with a heavy heart.

"However, the situation isn't entirely dire. Daoism itself is divided, and many super sects don't want to get involved. It's mostly the first-rate sects that are testing the waters. I'm afraid it's those ancient sects, hiding behind deceptive tactics, who are secretly causing trouble."

Leng Shanhe thought for a moment and then continued.

"Brother Li, we are unable to take action. We need your help in this operation. Xiao Yun doesn't like those twists and turns. He will probably fall into the trap of those ancient sects."

Li Yanmo smiled and nodded, "That's what I should do. By the way, I heard that Marquis Bahuang has some problems. Do you need me to pay special attention to him during the Spring Hunt?"

Leng Shanhe had a strange expression on his face and involuntarily avoided Li Yanmo's eyes.

"That Marquis Bahuang... does have some issues. As for his son, Brother Li, you can handle it. However, Marquis Bahuang does have a tendency to become the leader of the commoner marquises. Perhaps during the Spring Hunt, some sect will contact his son."
