"You said that you have someone in your heart, so who is that person?" Yang Yanqi asked Li Shiyin.
"Ah?" Li Shiyin blushed and hesitated to say anything.
Even though Li Shiyin is carefree and does things neatly and efficiently, and is a cool and aloof female swordsman without any girlish shyness, when she talks about the person she likes, especially to her mother, she is still too shy to say it out loud.
What’s special is that the identity of the person she likes seems to have a little problem.
Master and disciple...is this something we can talk about?
Although the cultivation world doesn't seem to care much about this kind of thing, after all, lifespan is long, but among mortals, ethics and the like, it seems that it is still not very good for masters and disciples.
So no matter how Yang Yanqi asked, Li Shiyin just wouldn't say anything.
In the end, Yang Yanqi thought that Li Shiyin didn't have anyone she liked at all, and that her words about having someone in her heart were just an excuse for Cheng Nan to hear, as she didn't want to marry him.
On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the day after Cheng Nan and his son came to visit, Li Shiyin was found by the family servants while she was thinking about the meaning of life in the back garden.
"Miss, the general wants you to go to the study to find him."
"Looking for me again?!" Li Shiyin was puzzled. "What's the matter today?"
This servant was smarter than the one from yesterday. He thought for a moment and said, "The general just came back from the palace and he looked very angry."
"You came back from the palace and you're angry?" Li Shiyin frowned. "That should be a national event. What does it have to do with me?"
She was doubtful, but still went out of the back garden and went to Li Zhan's study. As usual, she did not knock but pushed the door open and walked in.
Entering the study, Li Shiyin found that Li Shiwen was also there, kneeling limply on the side, while her father Li Zhan was writing something on the table.
"Close the door and kneel down." Knowing that she was coming, Li Zhan didn't look over here. He just gave a simple command with a flat voice.
But when she heard this voice, Li Shiyin felt her skin itchy all over her body. Because she knew that this was not a plain voice, but the voice of Li Zhan's anger suppressed to the extreme. She had only heard this voice a few times since she was a child. ..
She remembered that once she beat the prince until he cried, and another time she teased the guard at home. In short, the final outcome was not very good.
After closing the door, Li Shiyin obediently knelt beside Li Shiwen. Even though she was an omnipotent swordsman who could slay demons and monsters in heaven and earth, she still had to kneel in front of her father.
"What's the matter?" Li Shiyin knelt down and asked Li Shiwen silently with a wink.
After being siblings for more than ten years, they still have this tacit understanding.
Li Shiwen understood, but he looked like he was dying, so he didn't care and replied directly: "What else could it be? Xiang Hui, Tang Yin and others' incident was exposed."
"You..." Li Shiyin glared at him. You don't want to live, but I do. Then she sensed that Li Zhan was looking at her, so she knelt down more obediently.
After Li Zhan finished writing, he put down his pen, picked up the paper, and said in a lukewarm voice: "After half a year of cultivating immortals, my abilities have indeed improved!"
"No, Dad, where did you get that ability?" Li Shiyin laughed.
Li Zhan blew the ink on the paper and ignored her.
The whole study was filled with the sound of Li Zhan blowing ink. To be honest, this sound made Li Shiyin feel scared, as if she was back in Dashanling Village.
After the ink dried, Li Zhan continued, "He didn't go home for half a year, and when he got home, he did something big. The next day he beat up the son of the Minister of Personnel, the brother of the General Zhenbei, the son of the Hanlin scholar, and the son of the Eighth Prince. If this isn't a skill, what is it?"
Having said this, Li Shiyin thought back to what the servant had just said, that Li Zhan had returned from the palace. She knew that the problem might be serious, so she stopped smiling and quickly lowered her head in silence.
Li Zhan was surprised that he didn't hear Li Shiyin continue to bicker. He glanced over and saw the wild child kneeling with an obedient look on his face, admitting his mistake.
"Oh, have you learned to be smart?" he asked in surprise.
Li Shiwen looked at Li Shiyin, and was also surprised to find that his sister seemed to be a little scheming... a little, but not much.
Li Zhan put the paper down and stood up.
As he stood up, the whole study lowered its head in an instant. Li Shiyin felt very depressed, thinking that the Yuanying stage master was going to take action.
"It's coming, the big one is coming." She gritted her teeth, prepared to withstand her father's next wrath.
really……
“Bang!”
Li Zhan slammed the desk heavily and shouted:
"It was snowing heavily, and he was not satisfied after beating someone up. He even stripped him naked, and in front of the entire Danyang City population, he asked him to walk home like a dog! Is this something a human being can do? Is this something a girl can do?!!
"Shame! You could have blindfolded him! Just leave a strip of cloth!! No leash!! You have lost all conscience!! You are simply a devil, worse than a devil!! How could I, Li Zhan, have two unfilial sons like you?"
Li Zhan came over while cursing and scolding, and spitted all over Li Shiwen's face.
Li Shiwen wiped his face, still looking indifferent.
He looked at Li Zhan with dead fish eyes, and during Li Zhan's halftime break, he laughed out loud: "Dad, you are actually very happy, right?!"
"Happy?" Li Shiyin tilted her head to look at her brother. He must have been scolded stupidly. How can you tell that you are happy?
Li Zhan glanced at Li Shiwen and did not reply, but gave Li Shiwen time to explain.
"Sir Shangshu, Hanlin scholar, the Eighth Prince is a scholar who has always looked down on those of us who wield swords and guns, and Xiang Ji is even more incompatible with us. Shiyin... we beat those four guys, and actually we felt relieved for you. During this period of time, I believe you..."
At this point, Li Shiwen thought of his decadent self and stopped talking. He talked about something else.
"You should have known about this immediately, but you didn't come to us. I also believe that you were trying to cover for us. Maybe everything would have been over, but who would have thought that the Prime Minister's marriage proposal failed yesterday..."
He glanced at Li Shiyin and said, "I think it was probably a joint petition by several families, together with the Prime Minister, that reported it to the Emperor. That's how the incident happened."
After Li Shiwen finished speaking, Li Shiyin looked at him with wide eyes. What he said made sense, but why didn't she understand it? Then...
"When did you become so smart?" she whispered to Li Shiwen.
It was agreed that the brother and sister would be stupid together for their whole lives, so how come one of them has quietly increased his IQ?
Li Shiwen glanced at her and said silently, "Do you want to tell everyone that I pretended to be stupid before?"
"Ha!" Li Zhan said coldly, "Not too stupid.
"But you haven't gotten to the heart of the matter."
"Huh?" Li Shiwen asked in confusion.
"Sure enough, we are still on the same level." Li Shiyin nodded with satisfaction.
"The affairs of the younger generation should be left to the younger generation. This is the common understanding of the major families in Danyang." Li Zhan explained, "Although what you did was a little out of line, it won't cause trouble to the emperor."
"Then why did it attract the emperor's attention?" he asked Li Shiwen.
Li Shiwen lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly reacted and looked at Li Shiyin.
"Because of Shion?"
"No..." Li Zhan shook his head and looked at Li Shiyin, "Because of a powerful cultivator."
