Chapter 237: Running out of ink
"You are... the youngest son of Marquis Bahuang? The little guy who has been causing a lot of trouble in Baidi City recently?"
Li Yanmo naturally recognized the young man in front of him, but if he acted too familiar, that would be too much, so Li Yanmo pondered for a moment before laughing with interest.
"Why, you're planning to step on me too,"
"Sir, you are joking. Emperor Yu has issued an order that Princess Yao will be expelled from Baidi City today. I thought I should be able to meet you here. I didn't expect that my luck is not so bad."
Li Lin always maintained a humble attitude, and his every word and action was elegant and polite, but this aroused Li Yanmo's suspicion.
It is normal for the monks in the sect to be so reserved.
It is normal for the Prince of Guizhou to do so.
But no one on the side of the commoner marquis should know his identity as Tianxu Tower.
Now Li Lin has reached the foundation-building stage, and Li Yanmo does not use artificial golden elixir. The cultivation levels of both are the same, and there is no awe between them.
This Li Lin even called himself a student.
"I don't remember having a student like you. Master Li, please just speak frankly," Li Yanmo crossed his arms over his chest, thinking over his recent behavior, looking for any flaws.
But after thinking about it, Li Yanmo still couldn't find anything missing.
The spells in the mine cave were all prepared by Shen Ziqing. He knew better than anyone how cautious his second disciple was, so the problem could never have been in the mine cave.
"Mr. Li, I have a question that I don't understand. I hope you can help me solve it."
"Go ahead."
"Who should students serve, the emperor or the common people?"
Li Yanmo raised his eyes slightly, as if smiling, "If this emperor doesn't care about the common people and asks you this question again, how are you going to answer?"
"The student... will answer truthfully. Everything he has learned throughout his life is for the benefit of the common people," Li Lin replied after a slight hesitation.
"Since you already have the answer in your mind, why are you still confused?" Li Yanmo was a little confused.
It’s not that he hates this kind of literary way of asking and answering, but the problem is that he doesn’t have much ink in his head, and if he continues, he will run out of ink.
“Maybe it’s because the students’ hearts are not right, so they have concerns.”
"Then set your mind right."
"I don't know...how can I set my heart right?" Li Lin looked up, looking nervous.
“Don’t keep saying you’re doing it for the people. If you keep saying too much about a goal that’s not achievable right now, you’ll lose respect for that goal. Losing respect is a very scary thing.”
"It allows you to unconsciously take that goal into your own hands and use it as a weapon to attack and demean others."
Li Yanmo was running out of ink, but he couldn't just smile and leave, so he had to attack in plain language.
"Of course, the worst thing is that you try to take shortcuts, such as..."
"I feel that all the problems of the people in the world are caused by the emperor. If I change the emperor and become the emperor myself, I can bring blessings to the people and then immerse myself in my own feelings."
"If you really want to serve the people, then remember to seek your position and fulfill your responsibilities first. Dayu's countless people have their own names. Although there are people with the same name, no one is called the common people, and no one is called the common people of the world."
Li Lin's eyes widened slightly, and he nodded respectfully, "Teacher, I will remember your teachings in my heart."
At this moment, a sharp and harsh scream came from the Yao family.
"Dad! Mom! How can we just let this go? Go and report to His Majesty and ask him to withdraw the imperial decree! I am a princess. How can I live with this imperial decree?"
"Nonsense! What do you think the court is?"
"If you don't leave, I'll pretend you're not my daughter!"
It seems that Yao Mengyi has already started acting. Got to say, she is quite dedicated to her job.
Li Lin glanced in the direction of the Yao family, smiled thoughtfully, and arched his hand towards Li Yanmo, "I will not disturb you anymore, sir. Goodbye--"
After watching Li Lin go away, Li Yanmo pushed the door of Yao's house open a crack and slipped in.
In the courtyard, Yao Mengyi, who was shouting that she would never leave, was holding her luggage and walking towards the carriage with a ferocious face. The Yao couple, who were calling her "nonsense" and "they don't treat her as if she were their daughter", were holding Yao Mengyi's legs and waist to prevent her from leaving.
"My daughter, please go talk to His Majesty and make a scene. Forget about your father staying in Baidi City, but send your mother away with me! This Baidi City is too boring. All I can do every day is play palace fighting with the Empress!"
"Nonsense! Husband and wife share the same hardships! If you leave... I'll leave too!"
The servants of the Yao family all stood aside, with mixed feelings, not knowing who to help.
Li Yanmo stood in front of the door, raised his hand, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
When she saw Li Yanmo appear, Yao Mengyi's eyes lit up. Just as she was about to call for help, she was held down by the Yao couple on the left and right. The Yao couple, who were haunting Yao Mengyi like vengeful ghosts, also haunted Li Yanmo.
"Master Li! Master Li! Can you please go and talk to His Majesty? My daughter has caused such a disaster because I, as a father, failed to teach her well. My daughter is still young and cannot endure hardships, so can you please exile me instead?"
"Master Li! Master Li and me! It's because I indulged my daughter too much that she became like this! Don't you think this is a great reason? It can deal a heavy blow to the nobles!"
Faced with the Yao couple's persistence, Li Yanmo's scalp went numb, and Yao Mengyi was so anxious that tears were about to flow.
Fortunately, Li Yanmo finally held on, and the Yao couple had no choice but to let him recover. Only then did he return to normal.
"Ahem - Mr. Li, my daughter... can survive as long as she has food and water. She doesn't have any hobbies. Giving her a ball of yarn is enough for her to play with for a whole day."
Yao's mother coughed, and her words, as if describing a pet cat, attracted Yao Mengyi's resentful gaze.
"However, Master Li, if you find it troublesome, you can also leave my daughter in Baidi City."
Yao Mengyi's eyes suddenly became clear, and harmless little white spots began to appear all over her body.
"Hahahaha - no trouble, no trouble," Li Yanmo was embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Master Li, my daughter is only at the stage of Qi training... Oh, she has already established her foundation. Although she is only at the stage of establishing her foundation, she may not be of much use, but at least she can serve tea and water. After all, she is a criminal. Master Li..."
Yao's father wanted to say something flowery, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was quite hypocritical. After all, those present were his own people and they knew each other well. There was no need for them to understand, so he spoke frankly with clear eyes.
"When I think about how I have to deal with all kinds of things here, but my daughter can do whatever she wants, I feel heartache. Please let my daughter do something."
Yao's mother also nodded repeatedly.
Yao Mengyi gnashed her teeth in anger, but the difference in their cultivation was too great.
Li Yanmo made repeated assurances and finally calmed down the resentment of the Yao couple.
