Chapter 222: Just walked in and you're treated as an elder?

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

It was not until he came face to face with this middle-aged man who was 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 a show of power from an elder, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

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

Even though Leng Shanhe, who had great cultivation, felt a tightness in his chest when facing his own daughter's sabotage, he began to cough uncontrollably.

"Brother Leng, what is that——"

Li Yanmo wanted to persuade Leng Ningshuang, but he spoke too quickly. Leng Ningshuang did not react, but Leng Shanhe jumped up as if his tail was stepped on.

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

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

Seeing that Leng Shanhe looked 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 small details. 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 treating me like an elder right after we got home. I don't even dare to imagine what you're going to do later."

"Ahem - Miss Leng, I have a clear distinction 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 guys take your time - Brother Li, after you finish your business, come to my room and talk about our personal matters all night long!"

Seeing that he was in trouble both internally and externally, Leng Ningshuang did not put up a fight. He snorted coldly and turned away.

Li Yanmo had a strange expression on his face. When he saw Leng Shanhe smugly waving 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?"

“…”

“Ohhhh!”

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

"You hold this."

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

“This, this is?”

"Ning Shuang... has liked collecting strange things since she was little. If you hear some strange noises or see some strange things at night, don't be scared. Grab these yellow talismans and wait until dawn, and everything will be fine!"

Li Yanmo looked at Leng Shanhe who was making a solemn promise, and then looked at the yellow talisman in his hand which did not seem to be joking. After a long silence, his expression became stiff. "Leng, Brother Leng, your daughter is still a virgin after all. If a man like me stays in her room overnight... I am afraid it will 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 looked like 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 have known Emperor Yu since childhood. I know better than anyone how good he is at fighting. I really cannot beat him. The previous Emperor Yu did not listen to advice and went to provoke him without knowing whether to live or die. He was beaten so badly that if his mouth had not been covered, he would have cried 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 Old Ji... other things would be fine, but it would be hard to say if it involves 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 Confucianists 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 much more distant."

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

"The Dao sect has not been at peace in recent years. Many sects have been contacting those commoner marquises in private and provided them with a lot of cultivation resources. Although at present, the commoner marquises have not taken any suspicious actions, it is still very unsettling overall."

"The other commoners are watching too. Word spreads from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred."

"If Dayu takes action to suppress them at will, it will hurt their morale. The world is too big. If we want to protect the common people from the monsters, we need the power of the common people."

Li Yanmo thought about it and said, "It may be a strategy to sow discord. The best way is to attack the heart."

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, something big will happen sooner or later."

"Late trains are an example."

Hearing this, Li Yanmo nodded with a heavy heart.

"However, the situation is not that bad. The Dao sect itself has not reached a consensus, and many super sects do not want to get involved in this matter. Most of the first-rate sects are testing the waters. I'm afraid it's those ancient sects who are hiding by stealing the sky and changing the day who are secretly making trouble."

Leng Shanhe thought for a moment and then continued.

"Brother Li, it is inconvenient for us to act. You will need to take more care of this operation. Xiao Yun doesn't like those twists and turns, and he will probably fall into the trap of those ancient sects."

Li Yanmo smiled and nodded, "This is what I should do. By the way, I heard that Bahuang Hou 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.

"The Marquis of Eight Desolations... does have some issues. As for his son, Brother Li, you can handle it. However, the Marquis of Eight Desolations does have a tendency to become the leader of the commoner marquises. Maybe during the spring hunt, some sects will contact his son."
