Chapter 228

Isn't this... the biggest joke in the world!

"Honor me as your master?! Even if you honor me as your master, I might not necessarily teach you the Confucian cultivation system!"

"Have you... thought it through?!"

Li Zhangsheng's gaze flickered, and he said playfully.

He understood the thoughts in the hearts of the two masters Cheng; it should be for that cultivation system related to Confucianism.

"I won't hide it from the True Person! My honoring the True Person as my master, one of the reasons is indeed because of the Confucian cultivation system!"

"But I also deeply understand the principle of 'Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Kin, and Teacher'!"

"Honoring the True Person as my master is the result of my careful consideration!"

"Please rest assured, True Person! Since I have honored the True Person as my master, I will definitely strive to learn from the True Person."

Cheng Yi took a deep breath. He knew that making this decision was extremely shocking, but he still made such a decision!

It was not just because of that new cultivation system related to Confucianism, but also the magnificent, vast, and boundless Haoran Righteous Qi on Li Zhangsheng's body.

Compared to Li Zhangsheng, his own Haoran Righteous Qi was too pitifully small.

"Me too!"

Cheng Hao thought for a moment and followed up.

"Fine!"

Li Zhangsheng nodded indifferently.

Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao wanting to honor him as their master was indeed somewhat beyond Li Zhangsheng's expectations.

But Li Zhangsheng thought about it; he also needed some manpower under him. Since the Two Chengs had honored him as their master, then let it be them.

If their performance met his wishes, it was not impossible to teach them the Confucian cultivation system.

After all, isn't it just a Confucian cultivation system?!

It's nothing big.

Therefore, having figured this out, Li Zhangsheng didn't care anymore.

"Thank you, True Person! No! Thank you, Master, for accepting us!!"

Cheng Yi was overjoyed, bowed, and said again.

"Me too! Thank you, Master, for accepting us!"

Cheng Hao followed closely behind!

Hearing this, Li Zhangsheng could not help but roll his eyes: Why didn't you say 'me too'?! Why does this Cheng Hao look a bit silly?! Has he really comprehended the Haoran Righteous Qi and attained the Earth Immortal realm?!

"Hmm!"

"I heard, if the teacher has something to do, the disciple should do the work?!"

Li Zhangsheng looked at the Two Chengs and asked slowly.

"Master! You are wrong! The original sentence is: Zixia asked about filial piety. The Master said: 'It is the countenance that is difficult. When there is work to be done, the disciple takes the toil; when there is wine and food, the elder eats. Is this to be considered filial piety?' From the *Analects*..."

Seeing this, Cheng Hao discovered that Li Zhangsheng was wrong and immediately spoke up to remind him.

"I don't know what Master has to instruct?!"

Seeing this, Cheng Yi did not wait for Cheng Hao to finish and directly interrupted his words.

Li Zhangsheng was helpless and could only ignore Cheng Hao, instead saying to Cheng Yi, "I have handed the matter of the Great Xiangguo Temple to the Great Song imperial court; you go and keep an eye on it for me!"

"Is there any problem?!"

Cheng Yi spoke very directly, "No problem! Please rest assured, Master! I guarantee that all the property, fields, and so on of the Great Xiangguo Temple will be used for the people and their livelihood."

"Good!"

Li Zhangsheng nodded, said nothing more, and then stepped into the air, turned, and left.

"Second Brother! Next, it's our turn to act!"

"We must let Master see... our sincerity!"

Seeing this, Cheng Yi turned his head to look at Cheng Hao, his face serious, and said in a heavy tone.

"Rest assured, Elder Brother!"

"Master will definitely see our sincerity!"

Cheng Hao nodded, having already made a decision in his heart!

Since they had already honored Li Zhangsheng as their master, they naturally would not be half-hearted.

"Ah! This... the two masters Cheng actually really... honored Li Zhangsheng as their master?! And Li Zhangsheng actually... agreed?!"

"They already kowtowed three times and nine times?! Could it still be fake?!"

"This..."

"..."

The scholars of the Imperial Academy were all dumbfounded, as if there were countless words they wanted to say in their hearts, but when they opened their mouths, it seemed they couldn't say a single word.

Apart from shock, they only had speechlessness, and... a very complicated feeling.

At the same time, in another place.

Li Zhangsheng's external incarnation, Li Beiji, headed toward the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Guo, stepping on the void, a thousand miles in an instant, with faint starlight lingering beneath his feet.

Time was passing, Li Beiji was speeding along, and after about half a day, a huge city, towering and majestic, appeared before him.

"The capital of the Jin Guo, Shangjing! It's right before my eyes."

Li Beiji's heart stirred, his gaze indifferent.

He was about to head toward Shangjing City, but suddenly, his footsteps paused, and a strange look could not help but appear on his face, "This is..."

On a main road, a gorgeous carriage was moving forward slowly.

"Ahead is the capital of the Jin Guo, Shangjing?! This time, this princess must help His Majesty the Heavenly Khan take this Shangjing City!"

A young man with a graceful figure, a face as white as jade, holding a white jade folding fan, and dressed as a man, spoke slowly, the voice like an oriole, delicate and crisp.

This young man was none other than the Mongol Yuan princess Zhao Min.

"This time, I ask you all to help!"

While speaking, Zhao Min bowed to several people, her attitude sincere.

"Rest assured, Princess, we will definitely help the Princess win this great merit!"

"That's right! That's right!"

Two old men with high noses and deep eyes, holding a deer-head short staff and crane-beak double pens respectively, nodded repeatedly.

These two old men, who looked like people from the Western Regions, were the Xuanming Elders.

Besides the Xuanming Elders, there was an ugly-looking Bitter Ascetic, a swordsman holding a golden blade, and... all of them nodded one after another.

"With your help, I can rest assured!"

Seeing this, Zhao Min smiled and nodded. She was silent for a moment, then looked at the middle-aged man sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed to the side.

This middle-aged man was wearing gorgeous clothes and looked to be about thirty years old, but his face was handsome and strange, his skin was crystal clear, flashing with dazzling luster, and he had a bearing like an abyss or a mountain. Between his gestures, he couldn't help but make people's hearts palpitate.

"Master! The many Earth Immortals of the Jin Guo will have to rely on you, Master!"

Zhao Min took a deep breath and bowed, saying.

"Rest assured!"

"For the great plan of the Mongol Yuan, I will naturally take action!"

After the words fell, the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes opened his eyes slowly, his gaze like thunder, possessing a charm that was almost demonic, making people sink into it.

"With Master taking action!"

"The mere Earth Immortals of the Jin Guo... will definitely not be Master's match!"

Hearing this, Zhao Min felt settled in her heart. She knew that although the man before her had attained the Earth Immortal realm for less than half a year, his strength was comparable to the Dharma Body realm, and even surpassed it; he was a true heaven-gifted genius!

Because, this middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes was named Pang Ban!

Demon Master Pang Ban, a true peerless heaven-gifted genius, invincible in the Heavenly Man realm!

After attaining the Earth Immortal realm, his cultivation speed did not decrease. In less than half a year, he had already initially combined his Dharma image with his physical body. Although he had not yet condensed a supreme Dharma body, he had given birth to magic power, and ordinary Dharma Body realm experts were not his match.

"Master! Then... is Li Zhangsheng really that monstrous?!"

After a pause, Zhao Min spoke hesitantly.

"Li! Zhang! Sheng!"

With a swish, Pang Ban spat out three words lightly. In his eyes, two beams of light shot out, and all over his body, a sky-high aura surged violently.

"This damn Li Zhangsheng! If it weren't for him, I would have already successfully plotted against the Quanzhen Sect..."

Speaking of Li Zhangsheng, Zhao Min felt very angry in her heart.
