Qin Yi Teaches His Disciples

Qin Yi stared blankly at Li Wuxian's still-childish face.

Although there was majesty and heroic spirit there, at this moment there was more filial piety and hidden fear.

Yes, she was terrified, afraid that he and Qing Jun would both leave without a care, leaving her truly all alone.

Qin Yi's heart immediately softened.

A newly enthroned emperor, at the height of his power and confidence, should not feign any panic.

That's true.

People are always misled by their preconceived notions. In their early years, they see her as a clueless little kid; but later, seeing her Monstrous Fiends, they see her as a powerful being who knows everything and is expected to do the most perfect things. If she is not so perfect, they will criticize her.

However, none of them are objective.

She wasn't born with knowledge; she was simply born with the ability to understand things in the outside world. This so-called "knowledge" also came from being taught by others.

Her mother taught her a saying that she still remembers to this day.

To put it bluntly, the reason she went to "inherit the will" was because of what Li Qingjun and the ministers taught her, which she regarded as something she had to do and kept in mind.

No one told her why or how to do these things. Because she was too young, no one assumed she could understand; it was supposed to be explained in detail a few years later...

She might not even know why she was doing these things; anyway, that's what everyone taught her since she was little, so that's what she had to do. Everyone said her father was a hero, so inheriting what he did was naturally the right thing to do.

All the methods were summarized and learned by herself, or even imagined and developed by herself.

For example, the meaning of her father's statement about "Wu Xian" is not the same as the meaning of the interference from the immortals she is facing. She may not be able to distinguish between them, and she deals with the immortals as if she has been injected with chicken blood...

In matters of the heart, they were even more ignorant.

Because she was indeed exceptionally intelligent and resourceful, and ridiculously capable, few people noticed that she was actually an orphan who lost her parents at a young age...

She may not be heartless, but rather express her emotions differently from others. She may not have had any real interest in unifying the world; she only did it because it was a way for her to express her "feelings" for her former king and homeland, and therefore felt obligated to do so.

Besides that, she probably hated her father in her heart, but she didn't say it. Instead, it was expressed in her mother's words. "Father is father, and father is father."

She conquered the land to honor her father, the king.

The father figure to whom he truly placed his affections was Qin Yi.

But how can one be a father like that?

"If..." Qin Yi tried to say, "You truly consider me your father... then I'll punish you, will you accept it?"

Li Wuxian frowned as expected. "Why is Master punishing me?"

"I'm punishing you so you'll remember that many Nanli People have died because of you," Qin Yi said earnestly. "Now that you're the emperor, your words can affect the fate of many more. Whether you think I'm being sentimental or a saint, since you still acknowledge me as your teacher, I have a responsibility and obligation to guide you towards benevolence and to help you consider others in all things. Of course... you can ignore me, after all, you are now the emperor."

Li Wuxian's face was contorted for a long time, as if she was still not Qi Ingestion.

But she seemed to think that Qin Yi's words made sense and were in line with her idea of what a father should be like, so she sighed and said, "No one taught me these things. Since Master thinks it is wrong, Wu Xian accepts the punishment."

Her single status left Qin Yi speechless. How should he punish her?

She is not a real child. She is now the founding emperor of a dynasty, ruling the world with authority and dignity. She also has her own insights and is far more powerful than Qin Yi in some ways. She cannot be punished by beatings or scoldings.

Even a real father wouldn't dare to hit a child who has become a high-ranking official. Otherwise, it could even create enmity and backfire.

Suddenly remembering that Liusu, that little devil, must have a lot of good ideas, he asked Liusu for advice, "Great, great... wait?"

Only then did I notice that the Liusu inside the ring was patting a black fur ball, chuckling to itself, "Little ball, all black, can't be broken, no need to fix it..."

Qin Yi was dumbfounded. Where did this Black Fur Ball come from?

Li Wuxian's voice came again, now tinged with amusement. "Master, have you never punished anyone before and don't know what to do?"

"Uh... uh?" Qin Yi was extremely embarrassed. It wasn't that he didn't know how to punish people; could he just beat him up?

Li Wuxian sniffed. "When I was little, my Empress Dowager punished me by spanking me. We also punished palace servants who made mistakes by caning them..."

Hesitantly, he turned around, lay down on the ground, and stuck out his buttocks. "Master, come on."

"Huh?" Qin Yi was dumbfounded.

Liusu sat on the black ball's head, conjured a white mist melon, and took a bite. Seeing that Qin Yi didn't attack, the white mist melon quickly transformed into a whip. Liusu jumped down, turned around, and kicked the black ball. "Get up, change your lying position."

The black ball lay down dejectedly, but what did it matter if it was a round ball lying down? Liusu stared at it for a long time, not knowing where its rear end was, and then casually lashed it out with a "smack." The black ball flew up as if riding the clouds, crashed into a Spirit Stone, and slowly slid down.

"This is so boring, it doesn't even have a butt!" Liusu said angrily, throwing her whip.

You make it sound like you're talking... The Taotie dared not speak out against it.

Inside, Liusu was happily playing with her hands, but outside, Qin Yi didn't. After thinking for a while, he finally said, "You set up a place for the victims of the Southern Li disaster, kneel for a whole night, and sincerely pray. This is a form of self-reproach befitting your status, and in this worldview, it might even have some real meaning... Anyway, you are my disciple, but also an emperor. What's a spanking? Get up."

Li Wuxian stood up, turned to look at him, and the strange look in her eyes intensified.

Qin Yi added, "Apart from that, the final result is good. No matter how sentimental I am, I can't force you to say that the current Li Kingdom is not as good as that desolate Southern Li. This should be a reward, not a scolding... Now that you have the world at your disposal, I can't reward you with anything else but a celestial artifact."

He then pulled out a magical Law Artifact resembling Dragon Carriage chariot. "You can't fly yet, so a flying Law Treasure is more useful to you. This flying Law Treasure originally belonged to Profound Yin Sect Master Xuan Hao Zhenren Sect. It's a Radiant Sun treasure, but it doesn't require much Law Power to control, so you can use it perfectly well. Also, this is a Storage Ring, also a Radiant Sun level one, and it has quite a lot of space... Holy crap, it seems even bigger than my own..."

Li Wuxian didn't take the Law Treasure. Instead, she looked at him for a long time and smiled brightly, "Master, do you know? In the past, in your eyes, this was the daughter of an old friend, but today... she is your own disciple."

Qin Yi's expression was somewhat strange. "You mean, the things I gave you before didn't count, and you only became my master after I punished you with a stern face? Are you a masochist?"

Li Wuxian said in a low voice, "Master, you must stay a little longer this time... Now that I am able to fulfill my filial duties, please let me do more to show my devotion."

Qin Yi sighed, "It's not that you want to be filial, but that I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a master enough... I will stay with Qing Jun for a while longer."

Li Wuxian laughed, a very happy smile, "Then... then I'll go and set up the sacrificial ceremony now. Master, please stay in the palace... Oh, by the way, should I arrange for palace maids to serve you?"

"Your aunt will beat me to death." Qin Yi pretended to kick. "Go away!"

Li Wuxian stepped back with a bright and cheerful smile.

After watching Li Wuxian leave into the distance, Li Qingjun suddenly appeared in front of her.

Qin Yi asked, "Are you dissatisfied that you haven't shown up?"

"No." Li Qingjun shook her head. "This result is already very good, and you did what I wanted... It's just that I don't know how to talk to her yet, let's wait a few days."

"Hmm." Li Qingjun was, after all, the one who was tricked, so it was perfectly normal for them to feel awkward meeting. Let's wait a few days.

Qin Yi racked his brains for a while, his mind a complete mess, then suddenly reached into the ring and pulled out the Black Fur Ball: "What's going on here? Who are you? How did you get into my ring?"

The Black Fur Ball said weakly, "I am Taotie..."

Qin Yi realized. "... You came to steal flowers to eat? Did you enjoy it?"

The person involved said, "I regret it now, I regret it so much."
