Chapter 155 You Are Not As Good-Looking As Your Father
The conversation with Ji Lie made Li Yanmo suddenly enlightened, and he also felt a greater sense of responsibility for the construction of Tianxu Tower.
The sect registration system was the most effective means used by Dayu to disintegrate Taoism.
So he had to expand the scale of Tianxu Tower even more lavishly!
After parting with Ji Lie, Li Yanmo found Zhuge Liumu who was drinking tea and eating snacks.
Before Li Yanmo could say anything, Zhuge Liumu spoke first.
"Mr. Li, I'll leave my daughter in your care."
"…Why does it sound like you're in a hurry to throw away a hot potato?"
Zhuge Mo'er didn't react at first, thinking that Li Yanmo was playing hard to get again. But when he saw Zhuge Liumu's gaze drifting away, Zhuge Mo'er immediately became angry, "Dad! What do you mean by this!"
"Hey - my daughter, Daddy definitely doesn't dislike you because you carry bamboo shoots home all day, make unpalatable tea, like to tinker with mechanisms in the middle of the night, and the mechanisms and magic weapons you make are very annoying, and you also prevent your mother and I from continuing the Zhuge bloodline in our world!"
Zhuge Moer clenched his fists, his face flushed, "Dad, I want to run away from home!"
"Great - ahem - daughter, can we go today?"
Zhuge Liumu originally wanted to be more decent, but was afraid of arousing Zhuge Moer's attachment to home, so he finally decided to tell the truth.
Li Yanmo stretched out his hand to lift Zhuge Moer up, feeling delicate, "Mr. Zhuge, don't worry, I will take good care of your daughter."
"It's okay, it's okay. My daughter has strong skin and strong vitality. She will survive easily. The key is not to let her come back too soon."
It was the first time that Li Yanmo saw a father describe his daughter as having strong vitality.
"Okay, I just have one question. Mr. Zhuge, why did you ruin yourself like this?"
Li Yanmo is not a fool either. Zhuge Liumu seems to have deliberately ruined himself into his current state, and seems to be afraid of a self-disciplined life.
"I used to be too handsome and in great shape, which made my wife feel insecure."
"I don't believe it."
“This is what I used to look like.”
Zhuge Liumu took out the photo stone.
A handsome man's face that was so handsome that it could be said to be confusing appeared in front of Li Yanmo.
Li Yanmo looked at Zhuge Liumu, then at Zhuge Moer, paused for a few seconds and then said slowly, "Miss Zhuge, you are not as good-looking as your father."
Zhuge Moer is pretty and has a pair of ethereal and intelligent eyes. She will definitely be a disaster to the country and the people when she grows up, but it is difficult for her to surpass the young Zhuge Liumu in terms of beauty.
Zhuge Moer was petrified instantly, but Zhuge Liumu was still muttering beside him, "I also think Moer is quite ugly, not like me at all."
"That's enough, you two!!!"
Zhuge Moer waved his fists in anger, like a struggling black cat, but although Zhuge Moer was proficient in Zhuge's mechanical magic weapon, he had no cultivation himself, so no matter how he struggled, he could not break free from Li Yanmo's hands.
"Also, the Zhuge family knew about the taboos of the immortals, and the family's luck was backfired. Once the family shows signs of rising again, they will encounter all kinds of bad luck until they go bankrupt. Only gambling can safely take on the bad luck."
Zhuge Liumu took a sip of tea and spoke in a calm tone as if he was saying that it would rain tomorrow, so much so that it took Li Yanmo a long time to come back to his senses.
"Is there really... a taboo for immortals?"
"Of course, the secret of the immortals is huge. Ancestor Zhuge chose to live in seclusion because he discovered this. Do you want to know?"
“…”
"Oh, I couldn't tell you. Sorry."
In view of Zhuge Liumu's overly casual attitude, Li Yanmo's expectations for the word taboo dropped a lot. Who knows what kind of strange taboo it might be.
After saying goodbye to Zhuge Liumu, Li Yanmo carried the ferocious Zhuge Moer away from Tianxu Tower and returned to Nanyang City.
Just as Zhong Sanyuan and Du Chen said, the Sky-Devouring Locusts gnawed to death without leaving a single hole in the city defense formation. Instead, the people of Nanyang City harvested a large amount of materials from the Sky-Devouring Locusts.
Even though it is just a bug, the Sky-Eating Locust is still a monster and is valuable.
Nanyang City is a gambling city and everyone is short of money.
On the way back, Li Yanmo heard some people muttering about why there were only so few Sky-Eating Locusts.
Leng Ningshuang and Daohai were drinking tea in the courtyard. When they saw Li Yanmo coming back with the angry Zhuge Moer, Leng Ningshuang was stunned at first, and then reminded him in a low voice, "Brother Li, in the Dayu Dynasty, trafficking in children... oh no, trafficking in girls is a capital crime."
Li Yanmo rolled his eyes and introduced, "This is Zhuge Moer. He was kicked out of the house because he liked to dig bamboo shoots, make unpalatable tea, tinker with the mechanism in the middle of the night and made a lot of noise. He also prevented his parents from continuing the Zhuge family and other reasons."
"I wasn't kicked out! I ran away from home!"
"Okay, anyway, this is Zhuge Moer who ran away from home. She learned the complete art of making mechanical magic weapons from Emperor Lie, and will be responsible for making mechanical magic weapons for me in the future."
Zhuge Moer snorted unhappily, "Let me make it clear first, I only know how to make agricultural machinery magic weapons."
"I just need agricultural machinery and magic weapons."
"Hmph—don't regret it!"
Leng Ningshuang held the teacup and found the interaction between Li Yanmo and Zhuge Moer very interesting, so she did not disturb them.
In the evening, Zhong Sanyuan and others came to their courtyard.
In order to maintain their personalities, Young Master Hua and Young Master Hai have already run away, and have been replaced by Constable Leng and Master Dao Hai.
Leng Ningshuang was born into an extraordinary family, but he had always stayed in Ganzhou, so he was not well-known among Taoists. However, Daohai, as a Buddhist disciple who could travel alone, was obviously very well-known. Zhong Sanyuan and the others' expressions froze when they saw Dao Hai, and Hong Muer of the Tianyin Demon Sect looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Could this person be a Buddhist..."
"Everyone, I am Daohai, a disciple of Jinshan Temple. What can I do for you?"
Daohai interrupted and smiled slightly. The face of the enlightened monk made Leng Ningshuang and Li Yanmo feel ashamed. Zhuge Moer widened his eyes, not understanding why Daohai was like a different person after losing his hair.
"Master Daohai, you are joking. I should be the one asking you this. Brother Li is my friend. I wonder what the Buddhist and Military Sects want to do with Brother Li?"
Zhong Sanyuan smiled slightly, seemingly gentle, but the atmosphere in the courtyard became tense as soon as the words "military sect" and "Buddhist sect" came out.
Xuan Lingzi and other Tianxiao Sect disciples understood what Zhong Sanyuan meant, and they all became nervous.
The people from the military and Buddhist sects appeared, probably heading for the tomb of Emperor Lie. Now they have surrounded Li Yanmo here, probably because they have guessed something.
"Don't worry, benefactor. I just feel that Mr. Li and I have some affinity, so I want to make friends."
Hong Muer snorted lightly, "I heard that Buddhist disciples have the thickest skin, like dog-skin plasters, I didn't expect it to be true."
"You guys, this is the Dayu Dynasty—"
Seeing that she was ignored by Hualili, Leng Ningshuang felt a little annoyed.
Although this was the effect she wanted to see, she still felt a little unhappy when she was ignored.
