Chapter 464 I don’t have the ambition to rule the world
"Xiaojiu, never underestimate a person's ambition."
Li Mulan seemed to be thinking, "Third Senior Brother, don't you want to get that thing? You are also a king, aren't you?"
Dongfang Haotian rubbed her hair unhappily, "Of course I do! But, as your third brother, I prefer things that are obtained through my own efforts, because those are mine. Besides, I don't have the ambition to rule the world. It's too tiring, and I won't be able to take your sister-in-law to see the world. She has hardly left Tianlang Country in all these years."
Situ Tianming said nonchalantly, "Xiao Kang'er is a smart boy, and he is so outstanding at such a young age. Third Brother, in a few years, maybe you can hand over the Tianlang Kingdom to him. When the time comes, you can take your sister-in-law to have a look around."
Dongfang Haotian laughed, "I thought so too. Recently, I have started to let Kang'er try to review memorials, and the child is doing quite well."
Li Mulan's mouth twitched. Are these two people talking like human beings? How old is Kang'er? Are they going to hand over the job in a few years? Then she thought of Chu Jie's age. It seemed...it seemed...it was not impossible...
"Okay, I came here in a hurry, I have to go back."
"So urgent?"
"So urgent?"
Li Mulan and Situ Tianming asked in unison.
"There are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the court. If it weren't for this time... I wouldn't have come here in person. You two, go and apologize to the master today. Do you hear me?"
Situ Tianming felt really wronged, "Didn't I admit my mistake a long time ago?"
"Huh, you? You're the first to admit your mistakes, and you'll never change." Then he looked at Li Mulan, "You made a serious mistake this time, do you know what it is?"
Li Mulan raised her eyes, full of confusion.
"You forgot one thing. Although Nalande can be considered half a member of the High Heaven Palace, don't forget that he is a Northern Qi native. You can use him, but you cannot trust him. Do you understand?"
Li Mulan seemed to be thinking about something.
"Think about it carefully. Third Senior Brother is gone. If you have anything to say, send me a letter by carrier pigeon."
Situ Tianming frowned, "At least let's have breakfast together before leaving."
"No, it takes quite some time to go back and forth, and your sister-in-law will be worried about me."
Situ Tianming and Li Mulan looked at each other, their mouths full of dog food.
Not long after Dongfang Haotian left, Li Mulan took the initiative to stand outside Mo Yan's yard. People who have done something wrong should look like they have done something wrong. Although kneeling for a whole night was really tiring, her knees must be swollen.
Mo Yan had known that the girl was coming. Seeing that she hadn't entered the house for a long time, he couldn't help it and went out. He just happened to see her with her head slightly lowered, and he didn't know what she was looking at.
What are you looking at? Li Mulan just felt a little pain in her knees, so she stood up and rested for a while...
"What are you standing there for? Come in!"
Li Mulan's body stiffened and she went in with a reluctant expression.
Mo Yan was making tea at the moment. After Li Mulan came in, he didn't even raise his eyelids. She could only stand quietly by his side.
Mo Yan finished a cup of tea before speaking, "Are you here to admit your mistake?"
Li Mulan looked at her toes and said, "Hmm."
"Where is wrong?"
Li Mulan pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Mo Yan snorted coldly, "I've seen that thing of yours since I was a child."
Li Mulan looked up in surprise, "Master..."
Mo Yan put down the cup and said, "Don't believe it?"
Li Mulan shook her head, "Could it be that you also..." Traveled through time?
Mo Yan pointed to the seat opposite him and said, "Sit down and talk."
As soon as Li Mulan sat down, she rubbed her knees. This small action naturally did not escape Mo Yan's eyes.
"Have you had breakfast?"
"Yes, I have used it."
Mo Yan handed her another cup of hot tea and watched her drink it before he spoke slowly.
"Your world must be a particularly advanced civilization, right?"
Li Mulan stared at Mo Yan with wide eyes, not knowing how to respond.
"Haha," Mo Yan smiled, "I'm surprised that Master knows that?"
Li Mulan's eyes flashed with a trace of guilt, "I... I'm just afraid of you... I'm afraid you will think of me as a monster."
"No, my mother should be from the same world as you."
Li Mulan did not interrupt and listened carefully to her master's story.
"My mother is a very different woman. She is confident, strong, and knows a lot. She has a free soul. In her eyes, all people are born equal, and there is no hierarchy. She is very compassionate and has helped many people. She is very knowledgeable and knows almost everything. She dares to love and hate, and is not bound by worldly constraints. She once made your explosives. When I saw it for the first time, I was almost scared silly. Because I have never seen such a powerful weapon, it is more lethal than any magic weapon."
"I was young at that time and I only knew that my mother was very powerful, but I never thought that this thing would cost her her life in the future."
Li Mulan frowned but did not interrupt her master.
Mo Yan smiled and looked at Li Mulan, "If you really count, my teacher's surname is also Chu, and I am also a member of the Daqing royal family. I am from the same family as your husband."
Li Mulan's eyes widened. "What?"
Mo Yan flicked her forehead in annoyance, "Why are your eyes so wide open? Are you so surprised?"
"Does Chu Chenfeng know?"
Mo Yan smiled and shook his head, "No one knows."
"That……"
"Don't interrupt, let me finish."
"Oh~"
"My mother fell in love with an idle prince of the Daqing royal family, and they lived a happy life for a while at first. But later, my mother revealed more and more of her abilities, and this idle prince gradually began to have thoughts that he shouldn't have. At first, he just asked my mother for help, but gradually, things changed. My mother was such a smart woman that she took me away before anything bad happened. The first few years after I left," Mo Yan showed a gentle smile, "were the happiest years for me. My mother took me to travel all over the mountains and rivers, and let me see the vastness of the world and the greatness of nature."
"But my biological father, haha, once he was blinded by ambition and power, how could he give it up so easily? He didn't want any love between husband and wife, or love between father and son. All he wanted was the supreme position. My mother didn't want to violate her principles, and she didn't want the world to suffer because of her, so she chose to die with my father. Together with his supporters, they were all buried in the ground."
Li Mulan noticed the change in her master's mood, "Master~"
Mo Yan waved his hands. "That was all many years ago. I have let it go long ago. I just want to tell you that the abilities and knowledge you have are far beyond what the world has today. You should never underestimate human nature, and don't test it, because the result will not satisfy you."
