Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

If Li Lan had told her beforehand that this was possible, she might have been skeptical.

But now, she was almost immediately convinced.

What Li Lan said is absolutely true!

"The supreme ruler of the world can be one who inherits the throne from his predecessor, but one can also be the supreme ruler of the world by saving all people and gaining their love and respect. In fact, the latter supreme ruler can completely replace the former supreme ruler!"

As the saying goes, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!

Li Lan looked at Li Yue.

The words "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it" struck Li Yue like a thunderbolt, instantly opening her eyes to a whole new world. Li Lan's few words had a profound impact on her.

What is supreme?

Born into an imperial family, favored by the emperor, and smoothly ascending the throne—is that being the supreme ruler?

Yes.

However, this supreme status is merely a continuation of the blessings bestowed upon one's ancestors.

However, if one relies on oneself to gain the support of the people, then such a supreme being is the true creator and invincible one!

When the next supreme being truly born, the previous supreme being will immediately be abandoned by the world!

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it... I've learned my lesson, student!"

She bowed deeply to Li Lan again and said, "In that case, how should I gather my own fortune? How about I send people to help all the refugees in the city tomorrow?"

Li Lan shook her head: "Too small."

"This is nothing but a small favor. To become the supreme ruler, one must have the merit of enabling all people under heaven to live in peace and prosperity!"

“In Kyoto, Your Highness can only offer these small favors to the people, which is far from enough. If you want to achieve great things, you must leave the court and go to a place where you can make your own decisions.”

Li Yue was slightly startled and said, "Does Teacher mean that I should ask my father... to seal off the city?"

Only princes who do not ascend the throne are granted the title of king and given their own fiefdoms in other places.

Within the city walls, the king possessed independent administrative power, handling all matters large and small on his own. However, this also meant he almost lost his eligibility to compete for the throne.

"Requesting to be granted the title of King is a strategic retreat. Firstly, it can lull the Third Prince into a false sense of security. When he sees Your Highness requesting the title, he will surely think that Your Highness no longer has any ambition for power. His negligence and contempt will be the foundation for our peaceful progress. Secondly, it allows us to gather our fortune and cultivate the True Dragon Technique. Once the True Dragon Technique is completed, even if Your Highness is only granted the title of King, His Majesty will still allow you to ascend the throne."

Li Lan knew very well what Li Yue was worried about.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Li Yue's hesitant heart instantly made a decision, and he immediately nodded and said, "I will submit a memorial immediately to request the sealing of the royal city. I wonder what teacher thinks is the best place to seal the city?"

Li Lan said, "Ning'an City is not far from the capital, only a two-day journey, and it has fertile land under its jurisdiction, making it the most suitable place!"

"Alright! I'll go write the memorial right away!"

But Li Lan had already taken out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Li Yue, saying, "I have written it. Your Highness may review it."

Upon seeing this, Li Yue was even more shocked, truly marveling at the extraordinary person.

Li Lan's first work as her teacher... was already quite remarkable.

It directly pointed her to a path, and her previously hopeless predicament was now greatly improved, with a completely new path appearing before her.

"Teacher, your kindness and virtue are beyond measure; I, Li Yue, will repay you with all my might!"

She said emphatically, "By the way, teacher, is there anything else I need to be careful about when cultivating the True Dragon Technique?"

Li Lan thought for a moment and asked, "Is Your Highness still a pure yang body?"

Li Yue blushed slightly and said, "This student has never been with a woman."

Li Lan nodded: "Where is the man?"

Li Yue panicked instantly. What did Li Lan mean by this? Did he discover that she was a woman?

But Li Lan had already explained, "I've heard rumors that some powerful and wealthy people have homosexual tendencies..."

Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, teacher, I've never been with a man."

Li Lan said, "That's good. The True Dragon Technique requires one to avoid women."

He paused, then said, "Don't even mention matters between men and women. You can't even touch a woman's hand or smell her scent. Stay as far away as possible, remember that?"
