Chapter 155 - Intuition

After sending the person away, Li Si did not immediately leave Jinshan Prefecture. Instead, he stayed at the residence for five days and taught Linghu Chong several relatively practical low-level spells.
When Li Si was preparing to return to the Central Plains, Ning Zhong grabbed Linghu Chong and earnestly pleaded with him, saying: Please let me know if you need further assistance.
"Master Guoshi, since you have accepted Miss Ren as your named disciple, I wonder if you can also accept Chong as..."
As soon as Ning Zhongzhe spoke, Li Si knew what the other party was going to say.
Li Si doesn't care about being recognized as a disciple. If it were someone else, Ning Nuxia rarely asks for help, so he would agree if his mood improved.
But definitely not Linghu Chong. He is the target Li Si plans to manipulate, and in the end, even if he doesn't die, his prospects won't be good.
Li Si, although not a good person himself, is still not as vicious as Yue Buqun, who maliciously destroys his own apprentice to death.
If he really accepted Linghu Chong, many things would become impossible to do, but unfortunately, this destined individual cannot be replaced.
So if Ning Zhong doesn't finish speaking, Li Si will disappear from the spot in an instant.
"Ning Nüxia, Linghu is a loyal and straightforward person. Since he has accepted Yue Zhanmen as his master, he won't acknowledge any other masters in his heart. Let's not force him."
Unfortunately, if he were willing to accept you as his formal disciple, then Shiniang would be relieved. But considering the current situation, it remains uncertain whether becoming a cultivator would be a blessing or a disaster for you.

Although Ning Zhongze and Li Si have limited communication, one possesses a "clear understanding," while the other is familiar with the other's past and future. Therefore, many words do not need to be explicitly expressed. Got it!
Li Si has a favorable impression of her, which even some outsiders can see. So how could Ning Zhong not know?
However, she is not a promiscuous person, and deep down she has a resolute and unyielding character.
Even though I have seen through Yue Buqun's hypocrisy, and even though Li Daguo holds immense power and intimidating authority, Ning Zhong would never willingly do something that would betray her husband.
Luckily, Li Si is not the kind of person easily swayed by lust, and the relationship between the two has always been kept under control.
Both sides actively avoid sensitive topics during their meetings, fearing that certain words once spoken cannot be taken back.
It is precisely because of Li Si's self-restraint that Ning Zhongze holds him in high regard. This is not based on ability or moral character, but on principles of conduct and interpersonal relationships.
So she constantly yearns for it, hoping to make Linghu Chong become a registered disciple of Li Si.
In this way, given the other party's nature, they would never allow any major issues to occur among their disciples.
After all, the Blood River scripture is clearly not a legitimate cultivation technique. It cannot prevent Linghu Chong from becoming an immortal cultivator, but it does offer him an alternative path.
While Ning Zhongze worries about Linghu Chong, Li Si has already spread his Qingpeng wings and is flying at full speed towards the Central Plains.
Perhaps due to frequent rushing on the road, he has become even more familiar and skilled in the use of the Green-Pheasant Twin Wings, as if he had grown up with them.
Furthermore, in order to fly faster, in addition to the basic "Wind Running Technique," Li Si has also mastered an acceleration technique called "Iron Song Walk" from the martial arts manual "Mysterious Imprisonment Skill"! Please note that the @ symbols are not translated and should be preserved as is.
This secret technique can enhance the physical body and accelerate the cultivator's movement speed.
Unfortunately, Li Si's comprehension is not profound enough at the moment, and can only maintain it for up to fifteen minutes before needing to manifest it again.
However, despite this, Li Si will still span a time zone across the Pacific Ocean, reducing it from nearly three hours to about two hours.
Returning to Taohua Island, the sky was already getting dark, and it was time for dinner.
However, as soon as he landed from above, Ren Yingying hurriedly came to find him.
Gu Xue
"Master, there is news from the capital city. They hope you can go there as they have something important to discuss with you." Translated:
"Beijing? What can be so urgent?" Li Si asked with some confusion.
He generally avoided getting involved in court affairs, even though the words of the esteemed Grand Master Li were more influential than those of Emperor Wanli. But he really had no interest in dealing with those bureaucratic officials.
Li Si's disdainful attitude towards mundane affairs also relieved the officials and military officers of the entire court.
They dared to deceive the emperor, even dared to accuse the emperor to his face, but they didn't dare to argue with the great demon king Li.
The former has to consider killing someone, while the latter can massacre millions without blinking an eye. If they truly anger the other party, it is feared that not even the combined fate of nine generations would be enough to escape death.
Furthermore, with Li Si repeatedly taking action, all foreign tribes within the Four Realms have been terrified, causing the military pressure on the court to reach its lowest point in the history of the dynasty!
In this situation, both the emperor and the officials are very tacit.
On one side, Li Daguo's imperial instructor is being promoted as "great and righteous," hoping to flatter him and avoid internal conflicts within the Ming Dynasty. Translation:
On one hand, we must try our best to maintain distance from Peach Blossom Island unless it is truly necessary for Li Si to intervene and resolve a major issue. Otherwise, the court keeps its distance and respects Peach Blossom Island.
As the national teacher, Li Si has to visit the capital city once a month to teach Emperor Wanli for a day. This is already the minimum requirement.
可一年多下来，某人一共就去了京城六次，还都是有事情要办，顺带跟万历唠几句嗑，勉强算作给他上课。
Compared to the previous imperial tutor, Zhang Juzheng, Li Si is simply lazy to the extreme.
Prime Minister Zhang wishes he could remind the emperor every day and shape him into the ideal ruler in his mind.
On the other hand, Grand Tutor Li considers educating the emperor to be extremely tedious and troublesome.
If you can avoid going to the capital, then don't go. He has so many excuses to take leave that it astonishes the entire court of civil and military officials.
However, his act of staying in his position without strategizing his governance has made Emperor Wanli unusually happy. This child used to have a rebellious mentality caused by Zhang Juzheng's strict management.
Last year, as soon as Old Zhang died, Wanli was about to kill his allies, dig up the grave and whip the corpse, to vent his anger.
But before he could express his frustration, another teacher appeared out of nowhere, with even greater power that no one could restrain.
The unfortunate Wanli Emperor thought he could only be a puppet for the rest of his life.
But unexpectedly, after Li Si's tremendous killings and establishing a fearsome reputation, he simply patted his butt and returned to Peach Blossom Island.
Besides a few major mandatory requirements, this Master Li Daguo surprisingly does not interfere much in state affairs as he claims, nor does he seem to care much about the Emperor, who is theoretically his student.
更让万历惊喜的是，因为有这位大魔王存在，满朝文武做事都得三思而行。
以往文官逼迫皇帝的行为，在李思出现后就再也没发生过了。
Those old foxes in the court would rather slowly wear down Wanli than force the emperor to seek help from Peach Blossom Island!
Therefore, Wanli deeply appreciates Teacher Li Si in his heart.
On New Year's and other festival occasions, loads of good things were sent to Peach Blossom Island, most of which were personally chosen by him. It was even more thoughtful than the gifts given to Empress Li.
Although Li Si didn't care much about material things, he did appreciate the gesture and felt a slight sense of closeness.
Therefore, Wanli urgently invited him to the capital. Li Si and Ren Yingying said a few words, and without even having dinner, quickly flew north.
