Chapter 301: Slacking off?

Although Donghuang Taiyi adopted her and Yan Fei when they were young.

But she and Yan Fei had no feelings for Donghuang Taiyi.

I have never seen his true appearance since I was a child.

Except for occasionally testing their practice, they are rarely seen at other times.

It is not a relationship between adoptive father and daughter, nor a relationship between master and disciple, but more like a relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Therefore, she and Yan Fei lived together since childhood.

That was the time when her relationship with Yan Fei was the best.

Carefree, climbing trees on the mountain, fishing in the river...

She thought about it and realized that the reason why she was like this had a lot to do with the atmosphere of the Yin-Yang family.

When they were a little older, both she and Yan Fei showed remarkable talent and were constantly compared to each other.

She was still young at that time and didn't understand much. She only knew that those people always praised Yan Fei and used her as a supporting role.

This led to him becoming mentally unbalanced, and he started to oppose Yan Fei in everything he did.

Fortunately, her senior sister did not hold a grudge against her for this, leaving her with room to regret.

With this thought in mind, Yue Shen’s determination to become the head of the Yin-Yang Family became even stronger.

It is obvious that Donghuang Taiyi does not conform to the Moon God's ideas.

She wanted to change the environment of the Yin-Yang School so that disciples could practice in a normal environment.

We cannot be like our ancestors, some of whom went crazy, some mutilated themselves, and some suffered from schizophrenia.

He left behind a series of unique handwritten notes and eventually died out.

After having lofty ideals, Yue Shen found that his state of mind had improved a lot.

The suppressed secondary personality has shown a tendency to dissipate.

After her horizons broadened, Yue Shen's resentment towards Cheng Jiao for controlling her faded.

If Cheng Jiao could really help her become the leader of the Yin-Yang Family, it wouldn't matter if she married Yan Fei together.

As long as she can change this corrupt and crazy Yin-Yang family, her personal honor and disgrace will not matter.

It's just a sacrifice of skin...

Unknowingly, the Moon Goddess's cultivation level increased again. She refined the remaining spiritual power in her body and entered the ranks of the upper grandmasters. She was not much worse than Yan Fei who had gone to Xinzheng before.

But it's still not as good as Yan Fei who has been strengthened by Cheng Jiao at this moment~
……

Cheng Jiao sat in the garden and drank herbal tea.

Jingwei rarely put on the fish scale soft armor that he had used for combat. Compared with the elegance and gentleness brought by the light yellow casual skirt, Jingwei looked heroic at this time.

Yanri, who was wearing a bronze mask, looked carefully at Jingwei's Jingwei sword. The tip of the sword was against his throat.

"Chang, Chang'an Jun, why is this?"

In the city of Xianyang, Yanri was drinking tea comfortably like a trap.

Then he was called over by Jingwei who appeared suddenly.

If so, of course it is normal.

Cheng Jiao handed the net in his control to Jingwei.

Just as the boss of the Four Sword Slaves was Zhao Gao, the boss of Yanri and Xuan Jian became Jingwei.

Cheng Jiao smiled faintly and said, "Don't panic, just let Jingwei say hello to you. How about it?"

Yanri's face changed slightly. Was this a warning to him?

Thinking back to when he hadn't even reacted just now, Jingwei had his sword at his throat.

He was not unguarded just because he came to Cheng Jiao's place.

Even so, he was still taken down by Jingwei with one sword.

"Lord Chang'an, I am guilty!"

Yanri knelt down on one knee and apologized without saying a word.

Cheng Jiao took a sip of tea and said, "Oh? What's the crime?"

Even though Yanri was already a top master, he was sweating profusely standing under the scorching sun.

"I shouldn't have neglected Miss Jingwei."

Cheng Jiao rested his chin on his hand and tapped his fingers on the armchair, "Anything else?"

Yanri has never come to report to him since he returned to Xianyang. Moreover, he heard from Jingniu that this guy is more comfortable in Luowang than himself and doesn't know how to work properly. This is outrageous!

He is still working for Brother Zheng and will have to go on a business trip abroad in a few days, yet Yanri wants to just lie down and do nothing?

No wonder Mo Ya and Bai Feng have found out a lot of secrets in Xianyang during this period of time, but Yan Ri, the current leader of Luowang, did not discover them.

Or, having discovered it, you are too lazy to report it to him or Jingwei?
Yanri subconsciously glanced at Jingwei with a cold look. It seemed that Jingwei had told Chengjiao about his happiness in Luowang.

I didn't expect you to be the kind of person who would tell tales.

"Sir, I know I am wrong. I shouldn't slack off at this time."

One knee becomes two knees.

Yanri slid to his knees without hesitation.

If you don't kneel down now, you will die. Cheng Jiao slowly stood up: "Kneel down first."

Xuan Jian walked over and looked at his former boss kneeling upright, feeling a little puzzled.

"Lord Chang'an, why don't you call me out? What's the matter?"

He was hiding in Li Si's place in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

I asked Li Si some questions from time to time, and I felt that I was making rapid progress.

If he could do it all over again, he is confident that he can escape the trap and live a happy life with Xianxian.

But suddenly he received a secret message from Yanri that Chang'an Jun was looking for him, so he had to leave Lu Buwei's mansion carefully.

Yanri glanced at Xuan Jian quietly, hoping that his old subordinate could plead for him.

However, Xuan Jian simply ignored his gaze.

Xuan Jian said he didn't understand, but according to Mr. Li Si's theory, at this time, if you don't understand, just pretend you didn't see it.

Yanri sighed in his heart, what a shame, he is really alone now.

Cheng Jiao slowly walked in front of Xuan Jian.

"How is Li Si now?"

Xuan Jian said respectfully, "Mr. Li Si is now in the small courtyard provided by Lü Buwei for his retainers. From what I have observed these days, since I caused a big disturbance in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lü Buwei has become more trusting of Mr. Li Si and has given him all kinds of generous gifts and beauties."

Cheng Jiao said with a smile: "It seems that Li Si is living a very comfortable life."

Look at a rebellious person like Xuan Jian, who calls Li Si "Sir".

Li Si was quite charming, no wonder he could become the prime minister.

Xuan Jian explained: "Mr. Li Si refused, saying that only in this way could Lü Buwei firmly believe that he was indeed the prince's man."

Although Cheng Jiao did not understand Li Si's way of thinking, with him around, Li Si would not be easily destroyed.

"Okay, I understand. This time when you go back, continue to stay by Li Si's side. Also, I have a task for Li Si, and you tell him what I said."

Cheng Jiao briefly explained it.

Anyway, Li Si was at Lu Buwei's place and had nothing to do, so he started to work on improving the large seal script.

"Take this paper and show it to Li Si. It would be best if you could come up with a feasible plan based on this standard and implement this work."

Cheng Jiao took out a piece of snow-white gauze paper, on which were written ten large seal characters and the corresponding simplified characters.

It is not easy for him to write out all the simplified Chinese characters directly from memory.

It’s not because it’s too troublesome, but the evolution of simplified characters has gone through two thousand years of development.

Each character not only needs to be simplified, but also needs to be based on evidence. This is why there was exegesis in ancient times, and books such as "Shuowen Jiezi".

The entire project was huge and it was not something that could be completed by him or Li Si alone. It required the participation of many people to come up with a prototype.

The ten large seal characters he picked out were very similar to simplified Chinese characters. Even though they had fewer strokes, they were still recognizable.

I don't ask Li Si to discover any rules, but to directly evolve the large seal script into simplified characters, it would be fine if it can reach the level of traditional characters.

Xuan Jian carefully put away the snow gauze paper. After being influenced by Li Si, he now also knew the power of culture.

I can feel the power of what Cheng Jiao said about the common writing system.

Cheng Jiao glanced at Yanri who was still kneeling very straight.

"This will not happen again. Go and stay with Xuan Jian at Li Si's place. You can die, but Li Si must live."

Yanri was just slacking off at work, which was not a serious crime, so it was difficult for him to impose any severe punishment.

Xuan Jian subconsciously glanced at Yanri.

Let these two top masters protect Li Si?
It is possible to kill Lu Buwei by force.

Even the current King of Qin doesn’t have this treatment.

I couldn't help but admire him. No wonder Mr. Li Si said that a swordsman, no matter how strong he is, will eventually be defeated if he has weaknesses.

Yanri felt as if he had been pardoned. It was just a matter of being Li Si's bodyguard for a while. No problem. He could just do it as a part-time job.

Didn’t you see Gai Nie beside the King of Qin? Isn’t he also a bodyguard?
At the same time, I also wanted to establish a good relationship with Li Si.

The fact that Cheng Jiao sent the two of them to protect him was a clear sign that Li Si was going to be valued.

"Here!"

Yanri agreed quickly, fearing that Cheng Jiao would pursue his slacking off again.

Cheng Jiao raised his eyebrows.

"Why don't you leave quickly? What are you doing here?"

Yanri immediately stood up and left without saying a word.

If I don’t leave now, I’ll wait until later.

Xuan Jian stared at Yanri's skillful appearance in amazement.

Unfortunately, Yanri was wearing a bronze mask, and he didn’t know what Yanri’s expression was.

Xuan Jian hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Chang'an, I will take my leave now."

It can be seen that Cheng Jiao, who was holding Jingwei's waist at this moment, didn't want anyone to stay here...
