When they stepped into the gate of the [Cornerstone Gate], Lan Yu Asagi finally couldn't help but ask.

"…Right now, things here are more important!"

Lan Yuxianzhai paused and said hesitantly.

"What exactly do you mean?"

Hearing this answer, Lan Yu Qian Cong raised her head, her eyes were filled with danger: "Or is it that the woman lying in the hospital for treatment, whom you haven't seen once in two years, is completely unimportant to you?"

"Sorry, Asagi, this matter is really important!"

Looking at his daughter, Lan Yuxianzhai sighed in his heart and said with an apologetic tone.

"What is it that is worth abandoning your wife? Councillor Lan Yu..."

In response to her father's words, Aoi Asagi's tone became very unfriendly, and when she addressed him as "Councilman Aoi", it even carried a hint of sarcasm.

For Asagi Aoi, the relationship with her father is the most strained, because she hates her father for ignoring his wife who is seriously ill in bed and is busy with his career. Now, listening to her father's words makes her negative emotions burst out.

"This matter requires us to go to see the Fourth True Ancestor together now!"

Lan Yuxianzhai couldn't help but sigh, and said while suppressing the guilt in his heart.

Go to meet the Fourth True Ancestor? !

Lan Yu Qian Cong was stunned for a moment, then her face suddenly changed and she exclaimed: "The fourth true ancestor, Flame Light Night Master, isn't that a legend?"

"Didn't you watch the news? The morning news channel should have reported that 'Gengami Island has become independent and is ruled by the Fourth True Ancestor', right?"

This time, it was Lan Yuxianzhai who looked at his daughter in surprise and couldn't help but ask back.

"I went to the hospital early in the morning to take care of my mother. How could I have time to watch that kind of thing? Besides, I haven't seen you for several days!"

However, Lan Yu Qiancong's answer left Lan Yu Xianzhai speechless. He thought that he had not seen his daughter for several days, and his heart was confused and hesitant.

But thinking of his eldest daughter who had returned to his hometown in Japan, his wife who was still lying in the hospital bed, and his youngest daughter's identity as the [Cainite Witch], his tone was particularly heavy: "Qiang, don't blame Dad..."

"what?"

Lan Yu Qiancong paused for a moment, then stood there and looked at her father, saying unhappily, "Blame you? Why should I blame you?"

At this time, Lan Yu Qiancong still thought that her father was talking about her mother.

Actually, what Lan Yu Xian Zhai was worried about was the audience with the Fourth True Ancestor, and why he and his little daughter were invited, and why he specifically mentioned their names!

"The Fourth True Ancestor has specifically asked to see us. If we don't come, your mother and your sister who has returned to her native land to see your grandmother will..."

Looking at the bewildered expression on his little daughter's face, Lan Yuxianzhai finally did not say anything too cruel. However, anyone with a little knowledge would understand what he did not say, which is that the consequence of not coming would most likely be the death of the entire family.

Especially for Lan Yu Xianzai, he was very clear about the specialness of his daughter Lan Yu Asagi. He was aware of the identity of Cain's priestess and kept it secret. However, the sudden request of the Fourth True Ancestor broke his idea that he thought he was keeping it secret. When facing the Fourth True Ancestor who once killed Cain, Lan Yu Xianzai himself was very pessimistic about what would happen to Lan Yu Asagi, the priestess of Cain.

However, Lan Yuxianzhai had to bring his little daughter with him. The only thing he could guarantee was that he would die before his daughter!

"What will happen? Will I die..."

It should be said that Aiyu Asagi is not stupid. She did not expect that her father would think about such things. The words she spoke suddenly stopped.

But unlike her father who was full of worries, when Lanyu Qiancong looked at the graceful and attractive back of Nangong Nayue in front of her, she thought of the handsome young man who always wanted to occupy a dominant position. He had a strange expression and did not have the determination to die like her father.

If Li Mo is the fourth true ancestor, meeting him doesn't seem to be a big deal. Besides, Lan Yu Asagi used her hacking skills to discover that Li Mo's identity was questionable. And if Li Mo is really the fourth true ancestor, then what he said before about being able to save his mother is very certain, right?

While Lanyu Qiancong and Lanyu Xianzhai were having different thoughts in their minds, Nangong Nayue, who was walking in front, stopped, grasped the door handle of a high-end wooden door and opened the door, then Lanyu Xianzhai and Lanyu Qiancong walked in.

Inside the door, a handsome young man in casual clothes was standing in front of the French window, looking outside. He slightly turned his head and looked at Lan Yuxianzhai who was walking in front of him, and slowly smiled, and said in a calm tone:

"This is the first time we meet, father-in-law!"

Chapter 40: Lan Yu Xian Zhai's "Surprise" Continued

"This is the first time we meet, father-in-law!"

Hearing Li Mo's words, Lan Yuxianzhai's stern face suddenly froze. He had originally stood in front of his daughter with the intention of dying, but when he saw the first scene of the "Fourth True Ancestor", the other party's words were so shocking that his brain suddenly crashed and he was unable to react.

The sudden greeting made the room quiet for several seconds, but then, Lan Yu Qiancong, who had already reacted, blushed and ran to Li Mo in two steps, shouting loudly: "Who, who is your father-in-law——————!"

The girl's sense of shame made Lan Yu Qiancong raise her voice to the highest pitch. She didn't expect that her meeting with Li Mo would have such an explosive start!

"How's it going? Asagi, isn't this greeting interesting from time to time?"

Seeing Lanyu Asacong's cute appearance, Li Mo, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at Nangong Nayue and then teased the girl leisurely.

“It’s not funny at all!”

In response to Li Mo's teasing, Lan Yu Qiancong found that her father had finally woken up and was looking at her with a strange look. She was so panicked that tears were about to come out.

"Is that so?"

Li Mo couldn't help but sigh, and said with regret: "Qian Cong, I thought I could give you a surprise when we meet again~!"

"This is clearly a shock!"

At this time, Lan Yu Qiancong was looking at Li Mo and her father at the same time. She seemed helpless and couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

How could you make such a joke right in front of your father?

However, Lan Yu Asacong changed her mind and felt that this was in line with Li Mo's character. This guy would tell a girl he just met that it was easy to get picked up by a corpse if he went to a bar. He was a man with no restraint. It was hard to say whether he was unreasonable or just didn't care.

Lan Yu Qian Cong felt helpless, with an expression that said "I'm so unlucky to have met you" on her face. She turned her head and shouted at Lan Yu Xian Zhai, "Well, although it's ridiculous, Li Mo was just joking with me just now. Don't think too much!"

Since you said that, how can I not have wild thoughts?

Lan Yuxianzhai forced a smile, then looked at the handsome guy sitting on the sofa with a smile on his face behind Lan Yu Qiancong, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

He couldn't guarantee whether Li Mo was joking or not, but he could still see that his little daughter had a close relationship with Li Mo. In a sense, this was much better than the worst scenario he had expected, but as a father, he felt subtly uncomfortable with this situation.

It always feels like the cabbage I grew myself is being delivered to a pig’s mouth!

"Ahem, enough joking, there's still room on the sofa here, please excuse me~!"

At this time, Li Mo, who was sitting on the sofa, coughed twice and pointed to the sofa diagonally opposite him. After Lan Yuxianzhai and Lan Yuqiancong were seated and tea and snacks were served, Li Mo motioned Nangong Nayue to sit next to him. While looking at Lan Yuxianzhai, he said, "From what I said before, you two have already understood that I rule Xianshen Island, right?"

"Yes! The Fourth True Ancestor!"

Lan Yuxianzhai lowered his head and responded. His tone was much more relaxed than before he entered the room, and he no longer felt like he was about to die.

Before entering the door, Lan Yuxianzhai's impression of the Fourth True Ancestor was only that he was a brutal person who had started wars and caused massacres many times. Moreover, considering his youngest daughter's hidden identity as the "Witch of Cain", he felt that his future was bleak.

How to say it, considering the relatively secret information that [the Fourth True Ancestor killed Cain], and thinking about the legendary brutal deeds of the Fourth True Ancestor, and the fact that he suddenly called his little daughter to go to the audience, Lan Yuxianzhai was prepared to die in his heart. He did not choose to escape because he knew very well that if the Fourth True Ancestor wanted to kill someone, unless they were fully protected by the other three True Ancestors of the Blood Clan or the great powers, otherwise, even if they escaped from [Gengami Island], it would inevitably be a death ending.

Now, the way Lan Yuxianzhai looked at Li Mo changed into that of a promising young man who might be secretly dating his daughter and might become his son-in-law... well, or to be more precise, the new king who controls the entire [Xian Shen Island]!

The change of the two impressions made Lan Yuxianzhai feel very conflicted. He seriously suspected that this was a deliberate suggestion to him, trying to take the opportunity to break down his defenses. It was a very scary psychological induction. However, he couldn't help but think that he was just going to meet his future son-in-law, not a terrifying Fourth True Ancestor. After all, the rumors about the latter were really terrifying and made him worry about the lives of his own family.

However, looking at Li Mo's attitude at present, Lan Yuxianzhai feels that he does not need to worry about his family's lives being in danger. However, when a father-in-law looks at a son-in-law, he rarely has an optimistic attitude, after all, the other party wants to take away his little cotton-padded jacket!

"Suddenly you become the fourth true ancestor or something, and rule over Genkami Island. This is a bit too exaggerated."

Compared to Lan Yu Xian Zhai, whose mood became very complicated, Lan Yu Qian Cong didn’t think so much. As soon as she sat down, she couldn’t help but complain to Li Mo.

"Well, life always has a few surprises, doesn't it?"

Li Mo was in a very good mood at this time and said with a smile.

"But you've brought frights many times!"

Hearing Li Mo's words, Lan Yu Qian Cong rolled her eyes at him. At the same time, she looked curiously at Nangong Na Yue who was sitting on the side drinking black tea. She couldn't help but express her thoughts: "Nan Yue... uh, why did Teacher Na Yue's words become like this now?"

Well, ever since Lanyu Asacong found out that Nangong Nayue had suddenly changed from a petite and cute black-haired loli to a black-haired mature beauty, the doubts in her heart have never stopped. At most, her attention was attracted by what her father said before, but it doesn't mean that she has no curiosity in this regard.

Anyway, Nangong Nayue is extremely popular in Cainan High School and its affiliated school. Lanyu Asagi and other classmates used to affectionately call her "Nayue-chan". However, Nangong Nayue has now changed from a black-haired loli to a black-haired beauty. It would be strange if the girl didn't feel curious, especially in the heart of the girl who dyed her hair from black to blonde. She is so envious of Teacher Nangong Nayue's current appearance and figure.

Of course, Lan Yu Asagi talked about this topic now, and she also wanted to chat and calm herself down. She wanted to accept that the fourth true ancestor was Li Mo, and that the other party had become the new owner of [Gengami Island]. This was sensational news!

"Xiao Qiancong, didn't I tell you before that I am now my true appearance? Before, I was just a puppet projected by magic, a state of my childhood!"

Regarding this topic, Nangong Nayue bluffed without blushing or beating her heart.

"That's right, Yue-chan is now in her true form. Previously, she was sealing away the evil because her real body was sleeping somewhere. Now her real body is handling all matters!"

Similarly, Li Mo spoke in a very relaxed tone at this time.

"I see, Teacher Yue is indeed very responsible..."

Hearing Li Mo's words, Lan Yu Qian Cong nodded in understanding. She had some idea about how responsible a teacher Nangong Na Yue was. She had heard about things like giving free tutoring to poor students, voluntary overtime, and having a sharp tongue but a kind heart many times when she was studying at Cai Hai Academy. Naturally, she knew that the other party was a good teacher.

"So, it would be great if there were more people like this who are responsible and capable of taking on responsibilities~!"

In response to Lan Yu Asagi's sigh, Li Mo smiled and spoke at the same time.

"Indeed..."

Lan Yu Asagi also sighed.

Compared to his little daughter's ignorant attitude, Lan Yuxianzhai, who had heard the hidden meaning, suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Mo in surprise. Seeing that the other party was smiling, he finally asked in a low voice: "Excuse me, what does your majesty mean?"

"The position of Prime Minister of Genshin Island is still vacant. I wonder if Councillor Lan Yuxianzhai has any thoughts on this?"

Seeing that Lan Yu Xian Zhai was on the right track, Li Mo also gave a positive answer.

"I don't know, what kind of Empire of Night does Your Majesty want?"

There is no doubt that Lan Yuxianzhai was moved by it, but he weighed the issue in his mind for less than a second and asked Li Mo calmly.

"A modern country with clear priorities!"

Li Mo also did not hide anything and directly stated his demands.

"I understand!" Lan Yuxianzhai put his hands on his legs and said obligingly: "Please leave this matter to us!"

"Then, Prime Minister Lan Yu, I'll leave this new country in your hands!"

Facing Lan Yuxianzhai's tact, Li Mo spoke in a relaxed tone.

???

Facing the conversation between the two, Aoi Asagi, who was sitting next to them, felt like there were a lot of question marks in her head and she had no idea what to say.

What the hell is going on here? Is it just a simple decision about the prime minister and the country? Isn't this too much of a joke?

Beside her, Nangong Nayue looked at Lanyu Qiancong's confused expression, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she sipped the black tea leisurely without directly explaining anything.

This little idiot probably doesn’t even know that his own father sold him out!

Lan Yuxianzhai might be capable of becoming the prime minister of a country, and he also has the opportunity to do so. But at the age of just over 40 and not coming from a noble family background, how could he be qualified to be the prime minister of a country?

In Neon, a strange feudal country disguised as a modern country, the prime minister almost always comes from a few famous families, or is a pawn pushed forward by those famous families in Neon. The Lan Yu family is not from a famous family, and Lan Yu Xianzhai is not so capable as to marry the daughters of those famous families. At most, he has the ability to stay in the officialdom, but wanting to become the prime minister now is completely inconsistent with the political unwritten rules of Neon.

[Genjin Island], which originally belonged to Japan, was actually also affected by Japan in this aspect. Even if the flag had been changed, the rules could not be changed so quickly. But if the Blue Rain family had a concubine, that would be a different matter.

Therefore, in the conversation just now, Li Mo and Lan Yu Xian Zhai had already reached a tacit understanding. Although in the following words, it was indeed Lan Yu Xian Zhai who asked Li Mo what kind of country he wanted, the premise of this inquiry was actually that Lan Yu Xian Zhai himself acquiesced to Lan Yu Qiancong's marriage and "sold" his little daughter.

In a sense, Li Mo solved the biggest problem of love with just a few words, which was the recognition from his father-in-law. Although he himself did not care about this, no matter from which perspective, doing so was a good thing for everyone!

"Then, I will let Xian Shen Ming Jia hand over the relevant authorization to you later. At the same time, I will give you the greatest authority and support in terms of governance!"

"Yes! Thank you for your trust!"

"You're welcome. After all, we are a family..."

Looking at Li Mo and Lan Yuxianzhai who were asking and answering questions in front of her, Nangong Nayue was not surprised at all and continued to drink tea. However, Lan Yuqiancong, who could not keep up with their train of thought at all, barely understood the conversation between her father and Li Mo, whom she knew. Her pretty face became more and more blushing, and it was obvious that she had already realized the current problem.

After all, the girl is actually very smart. She can become a super hacker that even the network department of the demon special zone of [Gengami Island] cannot match. It can be said that Asagi Aoba's ability in this regard is already world-class, and looking at the plot line of the original anime of Strike: Blood, Asagi Aoba can even successfully crack the ancient [Tenbu] heritage code. It can be said that the girl's ability in this regard is exceptionally outstanding. She is not a politician and it is difficult for her to know the various twists and turns of politicians, but that doesn't mean she can't analyze them.

At the very least, Lanyu Asacong already understood that her father and Li Mo seemed to have reached a compromise. Li Mo, the "Fourth True Ancestor", supported her father's ascension to the throne and affectionately called her father "Father-in-law". The current discussion was very casual. She was not stupid but very smart. Naturally, she would not think that her father was valued so much because Li Mo liked him.

At this time, Li Mo and Nangong Nayue both noticed the shy attitude of the blonde girl, but neither of them, including Lan Yu Xianzhai, pointed it out directly. By the way, it was after some communication with Lan Yu Xianzhai that Li Mo finally brought up the issue of Lan Yu Asacong!

"By the way! Regarding network security, I want the artificial island officials to hire Asagi as the top technical advisor for the network security department!"

Hearing Li Mo's words, Lan Yu Xian Zhai was silent for a moment, but he knew in his heart that things had come to the most critical point, which was the control of his youngest daughter as a Cain priestess. He sighed slightly and let Lan Yu Qiancong make the decision herself.

There is no doubt that Lan Yu Qian Cong agreed to Li Mo's proposal without hesitation. Besides the fact that Li Mo said that the salary and benefits were extremely high, the more important thing was that the girl felt that this would make her father feel aggrieved. After all, in the previous Lan Yu family, Lan Yu Xian Zhai did not approve of his little daughter doing anything messy, and he did not dare to expose her hacking ability, let alone say that she would go out to work as a network security consultant.

Lan Yuxianzhai could only smile bitterly at this. He naturally knew that in addition to caring about his little daughter, Li Mo must have control over the [Cain Witch]. No matter from which aspect, he could not stop his little daughter and could only accept it.

"Qiancong, since the empire is just being built, as a top talent willing to join us, I allow you to make a reasonable request in return!"

Finding that Lan Yu Xian Zhai was very wise and did not say anything, Li Mo thought about Lan Yu Qiancong, a beautiful girl with excellent appearance and ability, and made a promise very directly. He even guessed in his heart what Lan Yu Qiancong would think next.

"A reasonable request?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lan Yu Qiancong's eyes revealed surprise. She had been thinking about how to ask Li Mo to help rescue her mother, but she didn't expect that Li Mo was so considerate and directly gave a reasonable request. This was surprising.

Lan Yu Qiancong suppressed the excitement in her heart and said magnanimously: "You said it, you can't regret it!"

"Haha, Xiao Qiancong, an emperor will not easily break his promise!"
