Chapter 428 -427: The Truth of the Gentleman’s Country

(Friendly reminder, the previous chapter might have hazardous influences on teenagers. We kindly advise junior and senior high school students not to follow Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu’s lead. Specifically, don’t write random phrases while reciting ancient poems and lyrics.)

The two of them were naturally kicked out by the Gentleman’s Association.

The reason was that the Gentleman’s Association didn’t want them.

Even the Book Mountain Society dared not take these two.

It’s easy to invite trouble, but hard to get rid of it. They dared not mimic the Gentleman’s Association’s actions.

“Indeed, you two together really are nothing but trouble,” the voice of Piaomiao echoed in Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu’s ears.

Yu Yin appeared.

As soon as Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu entered the Gentleman’s Country, Yu Yin noticed the duo and observed them for half a day.

At first, Yu Yin was worried that these two would disturb the birth celebration of the Confucian Saint.

Later, she shook her head and chuckled lightly, feeling her worries were unnecessary.

After all, these two were undoubtedly going to cause trouble, so why worry about it?

Out of her compassionate heart, Yu Yin decided it was necessary to follow these two to prevent them from doing anything inappropriate.

The Book Mountain Society and the Gentleman’s Association served as perfect examples.

“It was all Bai Hongtu’s doing.” Jiang Li quickly cleared himself of any involvement with practiced skill.

His skill was cultivated from causing mischief for the old Human Emperor.

Yu Yin glanced at Jiang Li dismissively and said, “You think I’m as naive as Pure Heart, to believe everything you say?” freewebnσvel.cѳm

“Pure Heart is just innocent, not stupid.” Jiang Li corrected.

“You’re not much smarter than her.” Yu Yin thought these two were not very bright.

“Aren’t you supposed to be handling the affairs of the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty? Why are you here early?” Bai Hongtu asked. Considering Yu Yin’s personality, she usually only arrived just before the ceremony and rarely came early.

Yu Yin sighed, “I heard a secret from the Immortal Realm. Something big happened in the Immortal Realm, so I couldn’t focus on state affairs. I came to clear my mind.”

“I really envy you two for never having to worry about that.”

“Master, don’t worry. If the Immortal Realm dares to interfere, I’ll help you deal with them!” the Ruyi gourd at her waist vibrated, asserting its existence.

The Ruyi gourd wasn’t bluffing. After the Immortal Artifact gained consciousness, its power greatly increased. Ordinary Earth Immortals were no match for it. In Jiang Li’s view, this gourd might even be able to fight against a Heavenly Immortal.

This was, however, assuming that the Immortal who refined the Ruyi gourd was merely a Golden Immortal.

If it were the Yin Yang Heaven Seal or the Brahma Tower, Immortal Artifacts that had a close relationship with the Taoist ancestor and Buddha, their power would be even greater; each could rival a Heavenly Immortal. Only Jiang Li could guarantee to suppress them.

The Yin Yang Heaven Seal proudly considered itself the chief Immortal Artifact, not only because it enlightened all the Spiritual Treasures of the Nine Provinces but also because of its astounding origins.

The Great Confucian Word Post was not refined by the Confucian Saint, so its status was lower than the Yin Yang Heaven Seal.

Bai Hongtu shrugged, “Worrying about it won’t help. In the end, it’s definitely Jiang Li who will have to fight. From Earth Immortals to Heavenly Immortals, then from Heavenly Immortals to Golden Immortals. Finally, he’ll alert the great beings of the Buddha’s level.”

“When the bigshots take action, it’s still going to be up to Jiang Li.”

“You’ve got a point there.” Yu Yin nodded lightly. They were currently far too weak compared to the top fighters of the Immortal Realm, a gap only Jiang Li could bridge.

Jiang Li sighed, “Don’t say it so casually. Bai, you should at least sort out the Nine Provinces Spirit Plant Array, that’s also one of our trump cards.”

Bai Hongtu patted his chest in assurance, “Leave it to me, we’ve already formed a united front.”

“Unified against me or the Immortal Realm?”

“Hard to say.”

“…”

Jiang Li still remembered when Bai Hongtu added him to a group chat, discussing how to gather the power of the Nine Provinces against him.

Although Bai Hongtu often made surprising moves, he was quite reliable in handling matters. With Bai Hongtu in charge, there wouldn’t be any problems with the Nine Provinces Spirit Plant Array.

The Nine Provinces Guardian Array was a good example.

“I have to say, though Dongzhong is not much of a character, the Gentleman’s Country he established is not bad,” Jiang Li praised, “What a pity it can’t last.”

Their tactics couldn’t be hidden from the three of them. They had long discovered the reason why everyone behaved like a gentleman in the Gentleman’s Country.

Confucian disciples were scattered throughout the streets and lanes, secretly observing people’s words and deeds, scoring them. The Confucian Sect awarded prizes based on these scores.

The Book Mountain Society and Gentleman’s Association also had Confucian disciples, for the same reason. However, these disciples were known, while others remained hidden.

In other words, the current state of the Gentleman’s Country was created by the Confucian Sect using Spirit Stones.

“It’s not all about incentivizing with Spirit Stones, there are also many people who genuinely want to become a gentleman from the bottom of their hearts. It indicates that Dongzhong’s teachings are effective, and we’re seeing initial results.”

Yu Yin thought the atmosphere of the Gentleman’s Country was not artificially created, but was genuinely grounded with Dongzhong’s effort and hard work invested in it.

Yu Yin was an extremely beautiful woman. Though she didn’t show her true face, she was still breathtaking. Elsewhere, people would instinctively glance back at Yu Yin, but in the Gentleman’s Country, such situations were rare for Yu Yin.

She found this quite comfortable.

Yu Yin guessed that Dongzhong displayed the Gentleman’s Country with the intention of performing for the Confucian Saint.

The significance was greater than the form itself.

Regardless of the purpose, the outcome was good.

Bai Hongtu said, “What Dongzhong pursues is a country where everyone is noble in character and moral integrity. Morality is established both in people’s hearts and in material wealth. If the material wealth is not sufficient, there’s no use demanding morality.”

The three of them had different views on the Gentleman’s Country.

Jiang Li said, “Managing the Gentleman’s Country is too difficult. Dongzhong’s steps are too big. In my opinion, the Zhou Dynasty method is better. Use laws to constrain cultivators and mortals. Morality is not something that can be imposed.”

“Laws are the bottom line, while morality is a higher requirement. If Dongzhong first spread the laws and then improved morality using the laws, perhaps the results would be better.”

“You sure do like the statutes. Is it because you were born in the Zhou Dynasty, or is it just your nature?” Bai Hongtu joked.

Jiang Li pondered for a moment before asking seriously, “Have you ever heard of jurisprudence? I’ve studied it for a few years.”

Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin exchanged a glance, indicating they had never heard the term.

By its name, it seemed related to law, but the Zhou Dynasty had legislation studies, criminal law studies, and civilian law studies, yet they never heard of jurisprudence.

“Never mind then.” Jiang Li didn’t wish to delve into it further.

“Come on, say something about it; talking more won’t cost you any money.” Bai Hongtu’s interest was piqued.

Yu Yin remained silent, but curiosity shimmered in her eyes.

“Leave me some privacy.”

As the three of them joked around, they noticed someone on the roadside explaining the meaning and background stories of idioms with some familiar faces listening intently.

Dream Yu Yu, the Head of Hehuan Sect, was attentively taking notes.

Bai Hongtu glanced at Dream Yu Yu’s notebook, and noticed it was filled with various illustrations of intimate positions between men and women.

The Hehuan Sect was dedicated to providing customized and diverse services. Some clients liked Disciples from the Hehuan Sect with a scholarly temperament. The Hehuan Sect catered to such clients by organizing their disciples to study in the Gentleman’s Country.

However, Dream Yu Yu’s line of study was slightly different to other disciples.

“A verbal battle with a group of Confucian scholars… So, the Gentleman’s Country likes to play this way, got it.”

The three quickly left.

They had no desire to know what kind of ‘gameplay’ Dream Yu Yu’s ‘verbal battle with a group of Confucian scholars’ referred to.
