If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 225 Spring Hunting
"Not exactly. In fact, the person in charge of running Tianxu Tower is my apprentice. I am just... a legal representative?"

Li Yanmo Wan Yao picked up the sweater on the ground and handed it to Yao Mengyi with a smile.

"Princess Yao's craftsmanship is quite good. Are you interested in collaborating? I have a feeling we could sell a lot of products."

Yao Mengyi carefully took the unfinished sweater, her face slightly red, and her voice as small as a mosquito, "I only made this sweater for my own amusement, no one will like it."

"That's wrong. I can see that Princess Yao really enjoys this business and has put in a lot of effort. As long as you put in the effort sincerely, you will definitely get something in return. By the way, I wonder if Princess Yao has ever thought about knitting some woolen toys?"

"A woolen toy?"

"Yes, little bears and kittens about the size of a palm."

Li Yanmo gestured.

"This... I've never knitted before, but I can try!"

Seeing Li Yanmo and Yao Mengyi chatting animatedly, Leng Ningshuang coughed and said, "You two, can we talk about business first?"

Yao Mengyi shrank her neck and cautiously moved closer to Li Yanmo, "I don't know much."

"Then tell me as much as you can. Let's start with the conflict between the noble marquis and the commoner marquis. What do you know?"

Yao Mengyi pondered for a moment before saying, "My father told me that Emperor Yu seemed very dissatisfied with the old-fashioned feudal thinking of the people of Dayu, who believed that people were born into different classes. This time, he stirred up a conflict between the nobles and the commoners in order to make the people of Dayu understand that kings, dukes, generals, and ministers are not born with the same family."

Leng Ningshuang frowned slightly. "Emperors of all dynasties have tried to solve the ideological problems of the people of Dayu. However, the problem does not lie with the officials and nobles of Dayu, but with the Taoist sects. Even if noble marquises were used to fill the gaps between commoners, it would hardly be effective, let alone this method..."

Leng Ningshuang hesitated for a moment and didn't finish her words, but Li Yanmo thought of the same thing and said simply, "This method is too violent and may cause the people of Dayu to lose their respect for Dayu."

In an ideal dynasty, the people do not fear the court, but trust it.

Dayu had the will but not the power.

The world is too vast, with millions of Taoist sects inside and countless monsters outside. In order to maintain order in this world and prevent the chaos from coming back, Dayu can only maintain the dynasty's influence on the people with awe.

Now the Taoist sects are ready to make a move. Using noble marquises to replace commoner marquises can indeed break some feudal ideas, but it will also give the sects an opportunity to take advantage.

"I'm not sure about that. Anyway, my dad only lets me perform a few times, and then I'll be sent out to do whatever I want. I haven't decided where I'm going yet," Yao Mengyi stuck out her tongue. "My dad really envies me."

Li Yanmo thought for a moment and suggested, "If Princess Yao hasn't decided where to go, you can consider Qianzhou. I have a spirit beast garden there. The animals there are all spirits. You can teach them to knit sweaters."

"Really!"

"Ahem! Business!"

Seeing that Li Yanmo and Yao Mengyi were off topic again, Leng Ningshuang raised her voice in annoyance.

"How about you guys talk about your personal matters first, and then we can go to my room and talk about business later?"

When they heard they were going to Leng Ningshuang's room, Li Yanmo and Yao Mengyi said in unison, "Let's talk business now!"

"Hey... I'm worried about getting hurt too."

Li Yanmo rubbed his brows and pondered, "Will Princess Yao also attend the Spring Hunt? What do you know about Li Lin?"

"I do have to attend the Spring Hunt. As for Li Lin..."

Yao Mengyi hesitated for a moment and shook her head.

"I don't know either. I only know that he's made rapid progress in his cultivation because of the help from a few princes. Although he's only at the sixth level of Qi training now, he might be able to establish his foundation after this spring hunt." Li Yanmo was shocked. "So fast?"

The Spring Hunt is only a few days away, and the Spring Hunt itself only lasts for a week. That means Li Lin will be able to rush from the sixth level of Qi training to the foundation-building stage in less than ten days?
Even among super sects, this speed is terrifying. You have to know that super sects have a vast amount of cultivation resources, while Li Lin is just the son of a commoner marquis, and the cultivation resources he has are all obtained through gambling and fighting.

Yao Mengyi nodded and continued, "I don't know the specific details. I'm only responsible for portraying him up to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. But you can go find Cui Yunling, she's responsible for the Golden Core stage."

"Cui Yunling? Isn't she researching rice?" Leng Ningshuang was stunned.

"I heard that when Sister Cui received the notice, she was so frightened that she fainted in the fields and became seriously ill."

"Come to think of it, she seems to have always been very timid."

"I think this may have something to do with you..."

"what?"

"it's okay no problem!"

Li Yanmo's expression was strange, "Why do you like contrast so much?"

"It's just for show," Leng Ningshuang said helplessly, "In the stereotype of the people of Dayu, those born into great wealth and status are often arrogant and treat human life as worthless. Even if they appear gentle and polite, it's mostly an act. But fortunately, they can endure a beating, repent after being severely punished, and turn over a new leaf."

"Of course, this is also to defend the authority of Dayu's laws. If the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished just like the common people. By punishing the nobles more, the common people will be more willing to believe that Dayu's laws will protect them."

Li Yanmo thought about it, savored it again, and felt that it seemed to be the case.

"Princess Yao, I will also be attending the Spring Hunt. May I go with you?"

"Okay, okay. But... you might be implicated..."

Yao Mengyi was originally very happy, but when she thought about her own arrangements, she suddenly became embarrassed and made a suggestion in a low voice.

"Why don't you wait until I finish my performance before coming over."

"It's okay, I'll just take a look."

After agreeing on a meeting time, Li Yanmo and Leng Ningshuang got off the carriage and slowly returned to Leng Mansion.

After two leisurely days, it was time for spring hunting.

Leng Ningshuang changed into the outfit of a sickly young lady again.

As the eldest daughter of the Leng family and a delicate and weak person, Leng Ningshuang naturally has no need to participate in the Spring Hunt, but the Leng family needs to express its stance, so Leng Ningshuang needs to go on stage and go through a process, and by the way, host this Spring Hunt.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this spring hunt was yet another conflict between the noble marquises and the commoner marquises, and the battle had already begun before it even began.

Commoner marquises didn't have many resources, so the princes traveled in groups. The more established noble princes arrived early at the barracks outside the Monster Suppression Plains to exchange ideas.

"I really envy the prince and his friends. They were sent as stepping stones so early. I don't look like a good person, and I even gave myself a hooked nose."

"Yeah, I heard that Wang Hong's grandson has gone off to raise ducks. Damn it—I'll sneak over and eat his ducks!"

"But the most unlucky one is Sister Yao. We can only perform twice at most, and I heard that she will have to perform several more times."

"The one who suffered the most was definitely Sister Cui. She had gone so far away to farm, yet she was dragged here."
