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

Chapter 354 You must humiliate me today!
After eight years of being influenced by Dayu, Xiao Yun had no objection to Ji Fa's act of turning the tables by giving up the throne to Li Yanmo.

In every sense, Emperor Yu's position is indeed not suitable for a human being to sit in.

"So, Your Majesty can only... choose to send someone away?"

"What else can I give you?"

After listening to Ji's words, Xiao Yun finally understood why Ji Fa said that Emperor Yu had gone to dig the grave.

Li Yanmo's contribution is too great. It is not a question of whether to reward him or not, but of repaying his kindness.

But as the master of Tianxu Tower, Li Yanmo has neither status nor resources, and it is even more impossible for him to lack spirit stones.

Dayu could only use the most ancient method to give a woman away.

But the contemporary princesses are totally not enough, and even if Emperor Yu’s sisters are included, it is definitely not enough. There is no choice but to dig up the elders who have already been buried. If it is still not enough, maybe they will have to continue digging.

"Of course, regarding the princess's gift... in the end, Dayu still gained the upper hand," Ji Fa rested his hands behind his head. "To safeguard Yu's imperial power, the factions of the other heirs must be eliminated, and the best way to do that is to kill them."

"At least now we don't have to worry about the princesses' affairs. After they are given to your master, they are no longer members of the Dayu royal family under the Dayu law and have no right of inheritance. They can move freely and, at the same time, elevate the status of Tianxu Tower, creating the impression that Tianxu Tower has long dominated the world. Even Dayu can only use marriages to maintain balance."

"It just so happens that Tianxu Tower is still short of direct personnel. I will wait for His Majesty to dig out all the elders and expand the strength of Tianxu Tower."

"I heard from the Prime Minister that they are planning to dig out the only female emperor of Dayu, so that the Taoists will believe that the female emperor can sit on the throne of Dayu. It is thanks to Tianxu Tower that she is operating behind the scenes."

Xiao Yun already understood the situation, but he was still a little confused. "But will those [already dead] princesses be willing to accept this condition?"

"Of course not? Not only can they come back to life, but they can also use the Tianxu Tower's background to move around without having to hide anything. They can also completely sever ties with Emperor Yu's succession rights, preventing the situation like Ji Lie's fake death and absconding, forcing a prince or princess to be resurrected to inherit the throne."

Jifa's face was full of envy.

"It's a pity that the credit belongs to your master alone. And your master isn't interested in men."

"My master definitely doesn't have a preference for Long Yang! Eighth Prince, please don't say anything nonsense!" Xiao Yun already knew the nature of these princes, and immediately spoke up to defend Li Yanmo's orientation.

"Brother Li has treated me well. Why would I make up rumors about him?" Ji Fa raised his hand and waved, "Don't worry, the other princes won't do that either."

Xiao Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that these princes would be jealous of the princess and would use this method to escape, and then go and say that Li Yanmo actually liked men.

Since Jifa said so, such a situation will definitely not occur.

However, Xiao Yun also heard another sentence, that Tianxu Tower lacked some direct power.

The princesses of past dynasties might not seem like direct descendants of Tianxu Tower, but the deaths of the princes and princesses of past dynasties affected the entire history of the Dayu Dynasty. Dayu absolutely could not acknowledge the death of those princes and princesses. And those princes and princesses, whether out of personal motives or official business, would not acknowledge themselves as the legitimate descendants of Dayu.

Besides, Dayu and Tianxulou are now wearing the same pants.

"I roughly understand the Eighth Prince's thoughts. So, what should I do on this trip to Yanzhou? What is so special about Yanzhou?"

This is also what Xiao Yun cares about most.

His sage bone has not yet reached maturity, so he will not be arrogant enough to think that he is invincible in the world, but he wants to repay Dayu and Li Yanmo, so he wants to go to Zhuozhou or Hanzhou, the two places where conflicts are most intense.

Xiao Yun did not question Dayu's arrangement, but Xiao Yun wanted to know why, otherwise he didn't know what to do.

"Yanzhou is more than just special, it's extremely special," Ji Fa sneered, "Yanzhou is the real target of this expedition to Zhongzhou."

Xiao Yun was stunned, "What should I do!?"

"Don't be in a hurry. It's not the right time yet. Your master... has also made corresponding arrangements," Ji Fa shook his head. "You should act according to the circumstances now. By the way, give this to Li Lin." Ji Fa raised his hand and threw a storage bag to Xiao Yun.

"There are some magic formulas and resources here that only the Dayu royal family can learn."

"Brother Li seems to have contacted Li Lin several times. We can't always ask Brother Li to pay and work for us."

"Also... there are quite a few commoner marquises in this expeditionary force."

Xiao Yun weighed the storage bag in his hand and nodded in understanding, "I understand."

After saying that, Xiao Yun left the tent with the storage bag and came to the tent of the commoner marquis's son.

The Zhongzhou expedition was too difficult for a commoner marquis' son, and most of the sons chose to practice meditation, so there was only one commoner marquis' son, Li Lin, in the Yanzhou expeditionary force.

Xiao Yun was also a prominent figure in this Zhongzhou expedition, so his appearance immediately attracted a lot of attention and discussion.

Li Lin, who was adjusting his condition in the tent, heard the noise and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Yun's cold voice sounded from outside the tent.

"Where is Li Lin?"

Li Lin seemed to be thinking about something, and stood up and walked out of the tent. Outside the tent, Xiao Yun was riding a horse, looking down from above.

Seeing Li Lin coming out, Xiao Yun pulled the reins and was about to dismount, but Li Lin spoke first and stopped Xiao Yun, "I wonder what General Xiao wants from me?"

Xiao Yun raised his eyes, his face full of strangeness, but he still took off the storage bag from his waist and handed it to Li Lin, saying coldly, "His Highness is very optimistic about you and asked me to give these to you."

Li Lin's gaze lingered on the storage bag in Xiao Yun's hand for a few seconds, and he replied with a cupped hand, "No reward without merit—"

Xiao Yun just felt a toothache.

He understood what Li Lin meant.

After sighing helplessly in his heart, Xiao Yun sneered, "Accepting a gift? Are you worthy? You have no right to refuse this favor. If you refuse, hmph——"

After saying that, Xiao Yun threw the storage bag on the ground, pulled his horse and turned away.

Li Lin remained silent for a long time with his hands clasped in a bow. Finally, under the gazes of many people, he bit his lip, bent down and picked up the storage bag.

"Thank you, Your Highness—"

After saying that, Li Lin returned to the tent clutching the storage bag.

Li Lin, the son of Marquis Bahuang, and Xiao Yun, the adopted son of Mo Zhanxian, were originally the focus of the Yanzhou expedition. This incident quickly spread within the Zhongzhou expeditionary force, from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and finally reached the ears of the Taoist monks.

Chu Lan, an inner disciple of Haoqi Sect, burst into laughter after hearing about this, and joked with the people around him while laughing.

"I don't think the Eighth Prince is as powerful as the rumors say. He actually arranged for Xiao Yun to use both kindness and force on Li Lin!"

"This saves us a lot of effort. Li Lin will definitely remember this humiliation and eagerly pursue higher cultivation levels. He will definitely not touch the resources in that storage bag!"

The others present also smiled and nodded.
