Chapter 648: Chapter 58: Affairs of the World, Affairs of the Martial World, Today They Are Mine!_2

"Whale Hunter, this person, he has no sect, no aristocratic family, not even aligned with the Academy, yet he possesses unparalleled martial arts, a top-tier master of the Formation Path,"

"Such a peerless expert must not be overlooked."

"And his only weakness is that daughter of his. May I ask, Your Majesty, do you believe an emperor can have feelings?"

Jiang Wanxiang remained silent for a long time, gazing up at the highest Star-picking Tower in the Imperial Palace, where portraits of the woman he loved the most were kept. Now an old man, he had married a daughter from an aristocratic family to unite various powers.

The young ranger, matured into a sovereign, the Heroic Ruler who traversed the lands, said:

"Everyone has emotions, love, hate, and disgust."

"I too am human, but."

"An emperor should not have notions of good and evil!"

"An emperor should not have feelings, an emperor should not have love or hate."

"An emperor is not human."

Jiang Su bowed and said, "Yes, so please allow me to personally seek out Whale Hunter, to ask for his daughter’s hand in marriage for the Crown Prince. He is bound by his emotions, and he wishes for his daughter to be in the safest place possible, away from the reach of the Demon Sect."

"With the vast territories of Daying and within the Imperial Palace, we can surely protect the daughter of Whale Hunter."

Jiang Wanxiang and Jiang Su did not know the current whereabouts of Whale Hunter’s daughter, but as the ruler of a nation and a Divine General, they naturally understood something: how rare it is for a peerless expert without the backing of major forces to exist.

Jiang Wanxiang agreed.

Jiang Su stood up. The Divine General left Ying Country, setting off to find Whale Hunter, attempting to win over this legend of Martial Arts. As all these events were unfolding, Old Si Ming was drinking, placing his wine jug atop the head of a silver-haired girl.

So the girl subconsciously shrank her neck.

Shaking Light wore an expressionless face, her beautiful eyes glaring at the smug old man in front of her, as if they were about to ignite with fire. Old Si Ming became even more pleased with himself.

Today, there were no major events.

It was just that Li Guanyi, while practicing swordsmanship with Murong Longtu, was approached by a group of students in black clothing and bare feet, clearly disciples from the Mo School at just a glance.

They were neither humble nor overbearing, saying they knew of the Qilin Army’s noble deeds and thus wished to meet the Main General, Marquis Qin Wu.

Old Si Ming drank and said, "Mo School eh, heh, if there’s anyone who dislikes Li Guanyi the most, it would be the Legalists. Don’t look at their strict laws, but they have another faction focused on ’Spell Influence,’ the way for kings to control people."

"Such types, in the eyes of some from the Legalists, Ming Sect, and certain branches of Confucianism..."

"Are nothing but rebels and traitors."

"The military families would probably like him more."

"The most appreciative, no doubt, would be the Mo School."

Old Si Ming grinned, "The Mo School values promoting the wise, uniformity, Universal Love, non-aggression, frugality. This kid Li Guanyi, occupying Jiangnan, doesn’t build luxurious palaces; he’s so frugal that even Jiang Wanxiang would mock him loudly for it."

"Appointing Yuan Zhi, who comes from humble origins, as a strategist, staying away from the sons of noble families."

"And even allocating land to the common people!"

"Damn it, tell me, doesn’t the Master Mo of the Academy look at Li Guanyi now as if he’s beholding their own sect’s saint?"

"Back when Taiping Duke sought the Tao of universal peace, many valiant descendants of the Mo School joined his cause, constructing devices for him. After Li Wanli’s death, the Master Mo kept silent for a long time, they definitely didn’t expect Li Wanli’s son to be even more outrageous."

"Allocating land..."

Old Si Ming sighed deeply.

Shaking Light reached out to grab Si Ming’s beard.

Si Ming said, "Let’s see if this lad can impress these Mo School students, heh..." The old man shook his wine jug, murmuring softly, "Two Innate Masters from the Taoist sect, one living Buddha from Central Earth, Gongyang Su Wang from Confucianism, the foremost giant of the Mo School, the head of the Yin Yang Family from Central Heaven North Pole."

"The Six Palace Masters of the Academy."

"Among them, the one most likely to value Li Guanyi would be the Mo School."

The marquises of the lands under heaven favored the Military School and Legalism, for the strength they could provide to a nation, they would respect Confucianism for maintaining a facade of benevolence, but not the Mo School. Despite its prowess in Mechanical Techniques, the Mo School’s principles were disdainful to the marquises and the nobility.

These Mo School disciples had only heard of the righteous acts of the Qilin Army, so they wanted to see for themselves. Arriving barefoot and in black, carrying captured wild beasts and bags full of miscellaneous items.

But they were in for a surprise.

The Marquis Qin Wu, rumored to be eating his noodles cross-legged and ending up throwing a bowl of noodle soup onto a famous scholar’s head, actually stood up immediately upon hearing that they were disciples of the Mo School and personally welcomed them.

At first, these Mo School disciples thought Li Guanyi was putting on a show.

But as the young general engaged them in overnight discussions, from Mechanical Techniques and mechanical construction to political stances, he had his own ideas and judgments, showing his insights on the teachings of Universal Love and non-aggression, and the equality and promotion of the worthy of the Mo School.

Then the young man pondered seriously and asked, "Have you ever thought that the steam produced by boiling water can lift a lid? It has force, doesn’t it?"

The people of the Mo School: "???"

Li Guanyi asked, "Have you ever considered standardizing mechanical models?"

The Mechanical Master of the Mo School: "???"

These individuals stubborn in their ideals, in pursuit of the pinnacle of mechanical techniques, realized that this young man truly understood a part, albeit naive in the knowledge of mechanical techniques and Mystical Skills. The Mo Family Master said, "General, we have considered the power of Water."
