Chapter 341 I can’t control it at all
"It seems that Brother Lang is really thirsty. Let's have another drink. We still have some time."
As she spoke, Zhu Xiyue stood up from the single sofa and sat on the long sofa on the left, next to Wang Lang.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Xiyue poured Wang Lang another full cup of tea.
Being pressed so closely by Zhu Xiyue, Wang Lang subconsciously wanted to move a little to create some distance between himself and her.
But he just thought about it and didn't take any action.
It's true that men and women shouldn't touch each other, but Zhu Xiyue has already approached me on her own initiative, so why should I be so pretentious?
"Okay, let's have another drink."
As he spoke, Wang Lang picked up the tea bowl again and drank it all in one gulp.
To be honest, this tea bowl is not big, and there are only a little more than two sips of tea in it. Let alone three or four cups, even if you drink ten or eight cups, it is not enough to quench your thirst.
Watching Wang Lang drink another cup of tea, Zhu Xiyue showed a meaningful smile on her face.
Zhu Xiyue picked up the teapot and poured another cup of tea for Wang Lang. After putting down the teapot, she started talking.
"Brother Lang, first of all, I want to apologize to you and Qimanguli. My sixth brother is such a jerk."
After hearing what Zhu Xiyue said, Wang Lang interrupted her directly.
"Sister, now that you've mentioned this, let's have a good chat."
"I think you must know about your brother who has been harassing Qimanguli. And you have always known about the relationship between Qimanguli and me. Since you know everything and understand everything, why don't you do anything about it? You even dare to touch my people. It seems that you, the royal family of the Ming Empire, don't take me seriously."
"Also, what about the 18,000-year-old Snow Feather Horse? Although I helped you tame the 18,000-year-old Snow Feather Horse, it already belongs to you. No matter who you give it to, I shouldn't care."
"But I helped you to subdue the 18,000-year-old Snow Feather Horse so that your Ming Empire could better deal with those invading demon beasts and alien beasts, and better defend your country. It is not to let some prince of your Ming Empire use it to pick up girls or bully others with it."
After a brief pause, Wang Lang continued, "There is also the matter of Shanhai Pavilion and your monk academy. When I first passed on the cultivation method to you to reach a cooperation, I had already agreed that I would establish a branch of my Shanhai Pavilion in your Ming Empire. In this way, I can help your Ming Empire and train more powerful monks."
"We agreed at the beginning that I don't care whether the Ming Empire is willing to provide assistance to Shanhai Pavilion. But you must not oppose or suppress Shanhai Pavilion."
"But think about it yourself, how did you do it? You took advantage of the fact that I was too busy and the Shanhai Pavilion had not yet been established, and you took the lead in establishing the Monk Academy, started the national qualification test, and forced people with medium-grade and above talents to enter the Monk Academy to study."
"I don't want to say much about this matter. As the ruler of the Ming Empire, it is understandable that you want to control the powerful force of the monks in your own hands."
Having said this, Wang Lang picked up the tea bowl on the table and drank it all in one gulp. Then he looked at Zhu Xiyue next to him and continued talking.
"But you are going too far now. Since the successful establishment of our Shanhai Pavilion, countless people have come from all over the country, wanting to join it."
"You guys are so good that you set up talent and aptitude testing points at train stations, bus stations, and airports. Anyone who wants to leave the station must be tested for talent and aptitude. Once you find someone with good talent and aptitude, you will forcibly take them away. This has directly led to the fact that there are less than 20 disciples with medium-grade and above talents in my Shanhai Pavilion. Among these 20 people, more than half are spies arranged by the royal family of your Ming Empire. Don't think I don't know."
After a slight pause, Wang Lang continued in a more serious tone: "As the rulers of the Ming Empire, I can understand that you want to consolidate your imperial power and better rule the country and the people. But I have already told you that I have no interest in your Ming Empire."
"Because the world I live in is more than ten thousand times better than your world. The reason why I came to your Ming Empire is that I don't want to see your Ming Empire become devastated by the invasion of monsters. Everything I do now is to enable the cultivators in your Ming Empire to grow faster and shoulder the burden of resisting monsters and defending the country."
"It would be fine if you didn't help me, but you keep holding me back, which makes me very angry. I chose to cooperate with you just to spread the cultivation method faster and better. To be honest, if the royal family of your Ming Empire continues to do this, then I really have to consider whether to continue to cooperate with you."
"If you can't be the one in power, I think there will definitely be others who can do it. If you are unwilling to cooperate with me to spread the cultivation method and train monks to resist monsters, I think there will definitely be others who are willing to cooperate."
At this point, Wang Lang stopped. He had said almost everything he needed to say, so he should stop at the right time. There was no need to say some things directly to someone's face.
After all, we will continue to cooperate in the future, so there is no need to completely break up.
To be honest, with Wang Lang's current strength, he can definitely wipe out most of the people in the royal family of the Ming Empire in a very short time.
However, he would never choose to do so unless it was absolutely necessary, because once he did so, it would 100% cause social unrest and national chaos.
From the very beginning, Wang Lang's only idea was to spread the method of cultivation and help cultivate more and stronger cultivators, so as to resist the invasion of monsters and protect more people.
He never thought about ruling the Ming Empire or the Tang Dynasty.
Otherwise, he would have wiped out their ruling class when he first entered the Tang Dynasty or the Ming Empire.
Zhu Xiyue filled Wang Lang's cup with tea, put down the teapot, and then started talking.
"Brother Lang, you are right. To be honest, whether it's my sixth brother harassing Qimanguli or the recent suppression of Shanhai Pavilion by the Monk Academy, Xiyue is sorry for you."
"Although I am the eldest princess of the empire, in fact, it is only a superficial glory. The royal family has always been the most patriarchal, and in their eyes, princesses will sooner or later marry off and become outsiders. Before I met you, Brother Lang, I, the eldest princess of the Ming Empire, could only support myself by running a Caiqianjin store."
"After I started cooperating with you, Brother Lang, and obtained the cultivation method, as well as numerous cultivation resources, weapons, and protective gear, I only got this monastic academy in the capital. Normally, I have no influence on the decisions of my father and the crown prince. I also have no control over the affairs of the other two brothers and the three younger brothers."
Wang Lang did not interrupt, just listened quietly to Zhu Xiyue.
At this time, he was more or less skeptical of what Zhu Xiyue said.
Because under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the eldest princess Zhu Xiyue to be so miserable after she has mastered the method of cultivation, has cultivation resources, and powerful weapons and protective equipment.
After all, she was the first to handle all the cultivation resources, weapons, protective equipment, and elixirs. With just a little manipulation, she could intercept a lot of them and train a lot of cultivators in a short period of time.
Just for this reason alone, it's impossible for her to end up so miserable.
