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, it would be enough to cause a sensation if it got out.

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 - guys, I might have to talk to this third princess for a few minutes, don't worry."

Li Yanmo stood up and tilted his head towards the bamboo forest behind the school, motioning the third princess to 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 do 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, folded her arms across her chest, and raised her chin with pride.

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

"What if I answer yes?"

After a brief silence, the third princess blinked her eyes pitifully as if she was soaked.

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

Li Yanmo sighed in his heart, "Third Princess, you are a girl, are you afraid that you will be forced to sit on the throne? You can't pass the test of the great scholar, right?"

"Ten thousand or twenty thousand years ago, it might have been like this," the third princess frowned and smiled bitterly, "At that time, the princes were responsible for carrying the heavy load and fighting for the throne, and we princesses only needed to live the life 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 speed of replacement is faster than that of Emperor Yu."

"Young scholars saw the talents and achievements of each generation of princesses, but had to ignore them due to the rules. When they are about to die of old age, they will say things that they dared not say when they were young, or leave 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 moved her mouth, her eyes bloodshot, "Nonsense! This is just nonsense! How can the laws of our ancestors change so easily? Where are the pedantic scholars? I'm counting on their pedantry to save my life!"

Li Yanmo was in mixed mood.

Li Yanmo was not at all surprised at the result.

Ji Lie once said that Dayu hoped that the entire dynasty would always be vigorous and energetic. No matter how pedantic the Confucian scholars living among them 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 is the real situation?"

"He foolishly thought that he had the support of a great scholar, but he was fooled by the other princes and princesses. He was forced to take the heads of his brothers and sisters and become emperor. There were even rumors that he took the initiative to threaten Emperor Yu to give up the throne." The third princess seemed to see her own future. She covered her face and her shoulders trembled. "Because that person's ability to handle government affairs can be ranked in the top five among all the previous Emperor Yu, the great scholars began to reflect from then on."

"This... Even so, there has only been one generation of empresses. The ones who are under the greatest pressure are probably the princes."

Li Yanmo felt that the Third Princess in front of him was overly worried 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 the 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 have already promised Ji Fa. How about this, supporting the prince and supporting the princess are not in conflict. After 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 didn't pester him anymore, but nodded, "Private matters are over, the next step is official matters. Mr. Li, I have actually been observing for a while, are you planning to wipe out Chi Che in one fell swoop?"

Li Yanmo recalled the naked people of Chi Che worshipping the demon, his eyes flashed, and then he smiled slightly, "Third Princess, this Chi Che incident is ultimately Dayu's home court, I just saw some business opportunities and made some extra money by the way."

"Really? Well, you don't have to call me Third Princess or Third Princess anymore. 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 to Li Yanmo, looking very anxious, but because Zhong Sanyuan and Hu Rongzuo were still watching, he held back for a long time and finally whispered, "Then the third princess didn't seduce you, right?"

Li Yanmo looked at Ji Fa with a strange expression on his face, "Not really, the Third Princess seems to have been observing our business, and seeing that I am a talented person, 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 mixed 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 surely come to the door 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 turned his eyes and 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 fierce emperor into a guardian spirit, so naturally it didn't care who would be Emperor Yu.

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

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

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

That ferocious look that looked down on people as if they were ants was genuine.

Li Yanmo tightened his fingers holding the chess piece 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 person who was late for the train.
