Joy of Life: I'm really not a saint

"The real difficulty comes after entering the temple. There are guardians inside, and we must have great power to be able to take out the things inside." Li An said with certainty, looking like a charlatan.

"How powerful a force is needed to repel the guardian?"

"At least four masters." Li An said the most surprising words in the most casual tone.

Emperor Qing frowned tightly at this time. Even though the situation was so difficult, it did not shake his faith. Of course, he did not say anything about whether there were other ways to break into the temple, such as using the army.

He himself was a master, so he naturally knew that a place required at least four masters to enter. It would be useless to rely on the number of ordinary soldiers.

At this time, he thought of a possibility and asked Li An: "Can't we negotiate?"

Li An shook his head: "This is related to the ultimate secret of the temple. I will not tell you. Your Majesty, don't worry. Tell your Majesty the truth. This is another kind of knowledge. Even if I tell your Majesty, you will not understand it."

Li An told the truth, Emperor Qing would not live to see that time anyway.

Even if that time really comes, Emperor Qing will not be able to gather four masters. Although Ye Liuyun is a martial arts fanatic, he will never sincerely help Emperor Qing, not to mention the remaining two of the four masters, Si Gu Jian and Ku He. They have national hatred and family feuds with Emperor Qing, so how could they help Emperor Qing to destroy their own country?

As for the Emperor Qing training a Grandmaster himself, the people in the temple would not allow it. They already had the belief to prevent the birth of a Grandmaster. By then, the temple would stand on the opposite side of Qing State, and the only thing left would be the destruction of Qing State.

So, there is no solution to this problem.

As for Emperor Qing, he thought the same. Although Emperor Qing was one of the four great masters, he looked down on the great master the most. In his opinion, the great master level was too terrifying and seriously affected the balance of the world. He believed that if the great master did not exist, he could have unified the world long ago with his own talents.

Therefore, he would not do anything to train a master. This point coincided with the opinions of the people in the temple.

Emperor Qing lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, Emperor Qing raised his head and asked Li An, "Do you know what's in there?"

Li An nodded and said, "Yes. They are endless resources, 'technology' beyond the dynasties of this world, and powerful weapons."

Although Li An did not explain what technology was, Emperor Qing, who heard the word for the first time, was able to understand its meaning.

It took a long time for Emperor Qing to digest the information he had heard from Li An. His expression was heavy, and no one knew what he was really thinking.

If only I could read minds! Li An thought to himself.

"I hope you won't spread what happened today!" Emperor Qing softened his tone and resumed the familiar address.

Is this because he is shocked by the news, or does he think I have extraordinary value? Maybe Emperor Qing is thinking, I haven't told you all the secrets, I still have some to keep. It just so happens that this also gives me a little time to develop.

Thinking about what he saw and heard in the palace today, Li An was also afraid.

There were no more than ten ninth-grade warriors in Kyoto, and there were three of them in the palace who were on guard against him. Add to that a master, and he was completely walking on a tightrope.

Not to mention Yan Xiaoyi, the top archer who has the potential to break through to the grandmaster level, let’s just talk about the eunuch chief Hong Sixiang. If I want to defeat him, I will have to put in a lot of effort!

Of course, it was not that Li An was self-deprecating or arrogant. If an ordinary person had Hong Sixiang's realm, he would have to pay a heavy price to win. But Hong Sixiang was a disabled person and was relatively old. Although he was at the peak of the ninth level, he would die if he fought with him.

But if these two attacked at the same time, he would have no chance of winning. Plus, there was also a Gong Dian raiding the camp, so the only option he had was to escape.

"I will naturally not tell anyone." Li An promised with a bow.

The main reason is that no one is qualified to know these things anymore, and even if they do, they will not be able to withstand Emperor Qing’s wrath.

He had to be more careful in the future and show his attitude of being in the business of making money. At the same time, he had to be on guard against Emperor Qing's old subordinates: Ye Chong, Ye Wan, Qin Ye and others.

Emperor Qing did not comment on Li An's words, but nodded: "The property will be delivered to your residence in the afternoon."

It was time to see the guests off, and Li An stood up.

"There is just one thing I want to remind you, sir."

Li An bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please give me some advice."

"There are all things in this world, and the operation of heaven and earth. Who can exhaust their secrets? There are some things that you can see through, but you can't reveal them. After all, not everything will work the way you think!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty. I have no intention of getting involved in any fights. I will be more cautious in my future actions!"

Emperor Qing murmured, "This world belongs to me. Although you are of a noble origin, you still need to show respect. What do you think?"

What about me? Wait till I grow up.

But what he said was more from the heart: "Your Majesty is right."

"Go ahead, I won't keep you for lunch."

Emperor Qing began to see the guest off, then turned around and ignored Li An.

"My lord, resign!"

Seeing that Emperor Qing did not move, Li An raised his head, glanced at Hong Sixiang and Yan Xiaoyi, who looked like a gangster on the beam in the distance, turned around and returned the same way.

Chapter 45 Remuneration and various forces.

It was already past noon when he left the palace. Li An had made a lot of money today, so he naturally would not lose out.

Feeling the movements around him and making sure that no one was following him, Li An found a restaurant and treated himself well.

Seeing the dishes being placed on the table one after another, Li An began to devour them. While eating, he listened to the discussions of the drinkers around him.

"Have you heard that the courtesan Si Lili turned out to be a spy from Qi State? She burned the flower boat yesterday and fled from Kyoto!"

"What about this? Tell me in detail."

"That's right, it's that look, that figure, what a pity!"

As the lecherous devils chatted, the topic went off track. Li An, who was standing by, was listening with great interest, eating his food while thinking about his own things.

Speaking of Kyoto, apart from the royal family whom he was more wary of, the one he should be most wary of was none other than the Ye family, which was the garrison commander of Kyoto.

If we talk about the Ye family in detail, it is quite extraordinary.

In addition to the Grandmaster Ye Liuyun, there are also two ninth-rank masters, Ye Zhong and Ye Wan. Not to mention the military strength they have, the arrogant Ye Wan is a very troublesome person.

Not only do these two people possess the full set of authentic Liuyun Sanshou and Dapiguan Palm techniques, they are also very brave.

A family with two ninth-rank masters and a grandmaster, is Emperor Qing afraid of him? Add to that the position of the Kyoto garrison commander and the complicated network of relationships, and ordinary people cannot afford to offend him.

But fortunately, with Qin Ye checking and balancing him, no trouble occurred.

Of course, these are all superficial. As a time traveler, Li An naturally knows that the internal skills practiced by Ye Wan were taught by Emperor Qing himself, and they are the same domineering true energy that he himself practiced!

I just want to ask how deep into Infernal Affairs this Emperor Qing is?

I don’t know to what extent he has infiltrated these governments.

Of course, the person who should not be underestimated is Fan Jian of the Fan Mansion!

The 100 tiger guards he secretly trained for Fan Xian had basically all reached the eighth rank in the later period. What kind of concept is this? The resources invested in them were countless, and had already reached a massive level! He didn't treat himself as an outsider at all. The position of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was really a waste of talent, and he took it to a new level!

What a treasure in the national treasury, it is mine! Of course, the fact that he secretly cultivated such a force also shows his forbearance!

Then there is Qin Ye of the Qin Mansion. As the chief envoy of the Privy Council and the most powerful person in the military, he has a prominent position. He once participated in the operation of killing Ye Qingmei arranged by Emperor Qing, and he was able to survive intact, which shows his wisdom.

Moreover, Jiangnan Ming family is also behind him, hiding very deeply!

The rest are the forces that everyone knows about, including several princes, Prime Minister Lin, and the eldest princess.

As for the Supervisory Commission, it's not that Li An looks down on it. He just doesn't know how Chen Pingping is messing around. It's so riddled with holes and is known as a gathering place for traitors.

There are people like Zhu Ge who is devoted to the people, Yingzi who is Si Gu Jian's younger brother, Yan Ruohai who abides by the law, Yan Bingyun who is a patriotic terrorist, and even the dean Chen Pingping who are known for being loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and then they turn around and kill Emperor Qing without mercy!

There are countless people sent into the Supervisory Commission by other forces.

The reputation of the Censorate, which supervises all officials, investigates the enemy's situation, and controls the imperial army and city guards, and makes everyone shudder at the mention of it, is of no use to Li Ang.

Li An silently counted these ninth-grade warriors and forces.

Now, he has been assigned the position of university bachelor. Although he does not have to report to the palace, he will have to be the principal after the so-called academy is built. This means he is destined to deal with these forces.

I was finally involved in the power struggle, but there was nothing I could do. I was in Kyoto and wanted to make money, so I couldn't stay out of it. An idea gradually emerged in my mind, and I couldn't help but let it deepen.

Otherwise, support Prince Jing's son Li Hongcheng to take the throne?

Phew, I even laughed at the thought and quickly ate a few bites of food to calm myself down.

"Now, all forces are watching Fan Xian's attempt to capture Si Lili. This is my chance. It's time to meet that person!"

After finishing his meal, Li An made up his mind and got up to go back to Wanshizhai.

"Kaijia, Asheng, Aqiang, Tong'er, and you little guys. Have you been obedient and studied hard during the time when your master was away?" Li An lay on the recliner brought by the eldest disciple, shaking his head.

"Come here, Master wants to check your progress!"

As he spoke, all the disciples gathered in front of Li An and took a temporary test.

After Li An finished the inspection, he nodded with satisfaction, feeling greatly relieved.

After that, he began to test the martial arts skills of his disciples. He asked them to practice their moves in pairs, while he explained the essence of the moves and corrected their movements. Time passed slowly.

As for the miscellaneous subjects like music, chess, calligraphy and painting, just let them check themselves after the opening of the class. They are meant to cultivate their character. If you insist on giving them a score, it will lose its meaning.

After the exam, several older students had questions to ask.

Their minds and thinking have become sound, and they all have their own opinions on things. However, Li An did not answer them, but asked them to continue learning. When they have a deeper knowledge, if there are still questions that they cannot figure out, he will answer them himself.

After using the newly compiled teaching materials and his own knowledge to determine the future learning path for his disciples, Li Ang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"He's growing too fast. He should be at the level of a fifth-grade primary school student. What should I do? You know, I was just a high school dropout in my previous life. Teaching will become more and more difficult from now on!" Thinking about his maximum level of teaching skills, he felt a headache.

"It seems that in the future I should focus on theoretical and ideological teaching, followed by the improvement of martial arts." I have made up my mind that philosophy is the truth!

For a high-level subject like this, wouldn't it take most of your life to understand it? And there are quite a lot of topics in it, so now you don't have to worry about not having anything to teach!

Just as Li An was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.

A disciple near the door ran over and opened it.

It turned out that the reward from Emperor Qing had arrived!

"Mr. Li, this is the thirty thousand taels of gold that His Majesty has bestowed upon you. Please count it!"

After the eunuch had finished speaking, he asked the servants to carry all the boxes into the courtyard.

Wow!

When the disciples in the courtyard heard the eunuch's words, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise!

Although they are young, after these days of study, their quality has surpassed 99% of the people in Qing Kingdom, and they naturally understand how much 30,000 taels of gold are.

That's three hundred thousand taels of silver!

My teacher disappeared for a whole morning, and he made three hundred thousand taels of silver?

This is too crazy!

Among them, several senior disciples, such as Hong Kaijia, were the most shocked. They knew that life was difficult, but now they finally understood the ability of their teacher. As for the other disciples, their eyes were shining as they glanced back and forth between the eunuch and the teacher. Their admiration had reached the peak.

Facing the surprised and admiring eyes of the disciples, Li An was so excited that he almost laughed himself into pieces, but he looked very calm. He ordered Kaijia and the others to move the boxes into his room, and said to the eunuch, "Thank you for your hard work, eunuch."

He thought to himself that Emperor Qing was better than his two sons as he delivered the reward so quickly.

"It's not hard, it's just my job. But Mr. Scholar, His Majesty has specifically instructed that after the academy is built, you will take up the position of Jijiu. Of course, someone will inform you of this in advance."

Bribing eunuchs is a rare phenomenon in this world, especially since Emperor Qing has such strong control.

Moreover, his personality is greedy for money, so naturally he would not give any gifts to the eunuch. He would rather have as little involvement as possible.

He said a few words to the eunuch, said goodbye to him, arranged for his disciples to practice martial arts on their own, and returned to his room after deciding not to receive any visitors today.

It's time to count money again!

Chapter 46 Get your ID card again!

Sitting on the bed, he turned on the crude system, stored all the gold on the ground into the space, and then a system prompt came.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through 500,000 in wealth and getting one bonus draw! ]

[Host please go to the lottery page to draw the prize! ]

Li An looked at his wealth value which had reached 523,000 taels of silver, and did not choose to consume it.

If nothing major happens later, Li An will save this money for his breakthrough to the Grandmaster level!

As for that lottery opportunity, I didn't hesitate. I swiped my left hand and came to the lottery page.

lottery!

The quality of the prizes this time has not changed compared to before, and is still at the level of 100,000 taels.

As soon as Li Ang clicked the confirmation button, he immediately regretted it.

I forgot to wash my hands again! Damn it!
