How Can a Pheasant Match a Phoenix?
The next day, morning.
Li Yuan and Holy Mother Jin Ling walked out of the mansion together.
Yesterday, the two of them were talking about music and had a good time. Li Yuan played a few new songs for the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, which made the Golden Spirit Holy Mother intoxicated and infatuated until evening.
Daji took the opportunity to ask the Golden Spirit Holy Mother to stay. The Golden Spirit Holy Mother had just learned the nature of nature and was reluctant to leave. She agreed to stay in the Li Mansion temporarily.
Today, it was Li Yuan's turn to meet Wen Zhong's daughter.
The Golden Spirit Holy Mother said that she had a disciple in Zhaoge and was going to visit her, so they went out together.
However, the two of them separated after they left the door.
Li Yuan and Wen Zhong's daughter met in the tea room of the Happy Forest, while the Golden Spirit Holy Mother went to the east of the city to meet her disciple.
It was still early, so Li Yuan wasn't in a hurry. He walked leisurely on the streets of Zhaoge, watching the bustling crowds and listening to the loud shouts of the hawkers on both sides. He was enjoying his ordinary and simple life.
Compared to this comfortable life, what was there to fight for? Dominate all eternity? Li Yuan wasn't interested at all.
After an hour, Li Yuan arrived at the Happy Forest unhurriedly.
He walked out of the tea room and frowned slightly.
At the door of the tea room stood four burly men in armor and sabers.
These four burly men had thick Qi and blood all over their bodies, and their eyes were as sharp as lightning. Above their heads, there was a ball of red luck that was as big as ten acres.
This was the strength of luck that only a fifth-grade general of the imperial court had. Ordinary demons and evil spirits did not even dare to come within a hundred meters of him.
For such a person to stand at the door, the person inside was not simple.
Li Yuan Nao's horn couldn't help but rise slightly, as if something interesting was about to happen.
Seeing that Li Yuan was about to enter the house, the four burly men immediately used their waist knives to block the door.
"Tell me your name. After I tell you, you can enter.”
This was a show of strength!
Li Yuan smiled in his heart and said to the four men,
"Forget it, I might have gone the wrong way. I won't go in!”
With that, he prepared to leave.
"Wait."
The door of the tea room suddenly opened from the inside. A handsome young man dressed in luxurious clothes looked at Li Yuan with a faint smile and said arrogantly,
"Are you Li Yuan?"
Li Yuan noticed that the luck above the man's head was as big as a canopy. It was scarlet-gold in color and in the form of a flood dragon. It was indescribably noble.
This was the luck that only the descendants of the royal family had.
However, even if it was the Emperor, Li Yuan would not take it to heart.
"I'm Li Yuan." He nodded calmly.”
"Then you're not in the wrong place, come in."”
Li Yuan looked at the other party with disdain."Could it be that you're Miss Wen? Aren't you a little too abstract? I don't have any special hobbies, so I won't go in.”
The young master was furious.
"I'm a man. How can I be Miss Wen? Miss Wen is waiting for you inside."
"So you're not Miss Wen. You almost scared me.”Li Yuan looked relieved.
He followed the young master to the tea room and saw a young beauty dressed in luxurious clothes sitting inside.
The beauty's appearance was still decent, but her eyes were a little vulgar, giving people the feeling of being snobbish.
When the beauty saw Li Yuan's handsome appearance, a strange light flashed in her eyes. However, it disappeared immediately, and she revealed a disdainful expression.
"Are you Miss Wen?" Li Yuan calmly asked the beauty.
The beauty nodded indifferently."
"That's right, you are the merchant Li Yuan?”
When Wen Yin deliberately said the word "merchant", Li Yuan could not help but frown.
In this slave society, merchants had the least status. Everyone thought that merchants were greedy and treacherous, so the aristocratic families disdained to associate themselves with merchants.
No matter how much money a businessman made, he would not be respected.
On the surface, Li Yuan was the boss of the Happy Forest, so he belonged to the merchant class.
However, the people Li Yuan met before, such as Huang Feihu, Wen Zhong, and Shang Rong, were all impressed by Li Yuan's knowledge and talent. They didn't see Li Yuan as a businessman.
This was the first time Li Yuan had been discriminated against because of his identity as a businessman.
He couldn't help but find it funny.
"Why did you bring a man to meet me?”Li Yuan asked Wen Yin.
Wen Yin said,
"This is the Third Prince of the Great King, His Highness Yin Li. His Highness knew that Father had arranged a marriage for my daughter, so he came to take a look.”
In fact, she had deliberately told Yin Li about the blind date.
A few days ago, when she found out that Wen Zhong wanted her to go on a blind date with a merchant, she was instantly displeased.
In her heart, only the prince and the future king were worthy of her appearance and family background.
She usually wouldn't even look at a merchant. How could she be willing to go on a blind date with a merchant?
However, Wen Zhong's words had absolute authority. Wen Yin did not dare to disobey, so he informed Yin Li of this matter.
Yin Li had long wanted to rope in Grand Preceptor Wen's power and had also wanted to marry Grand Preceptor Wen.
Unfortunately, Grand Preceptor Wen intentionally kept a distance from the princes, so he never agreed to Yin Li's request.
Yin Li naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity and immediately ran over.
Yin Li looked at Li Yuan arrogantly and said rudely,"
"I don't know how you bewitched Grand Preceptor Wen. Miss Wen is the precious pearl of Grand Preceptor, and you are just a small merchant. How can you be worthy of Miss Wen? Therefore, I advise you not to have any improper thoughts. How can a pheasant be worthy of a phoenix?”
Li Yuan calmly nodded and said,"
"Pheasants are indeed not worthy of phoenixes."
It was just that they did not know who was the pheasant and who was the phoenix.
Yin Li was surprised to see that Li Yuan wasn't angry. Instead, he was calm and composed.
If ordinary merchants knew his identity, they would have been scared out of their wits and prostrated on the ground. How could they be so calm?
This person was quite capable. No wonder he was able to trick Grand Preceptor Wen into marrying his daughter to him.
Moreover, his Happy Forest can earn tens of thousands of gold every day. If I can take it for my own use, I can better develop my power and obtain the throne.
Thinking of this, Yin Li said to Li Yuan,"
"You're quite tactful. This king somewhat admires you. How about this, in the future, you'll stay by my side as a fifth-grade guard. In the future, you might even be conferred the title of Baron.”
It was as if she was going to be grateful to him for being his slave.
Because Yin Li felt that no merchant could withstand such temptation.
He directly raised Li Yuan's status from the lowest merchant to a scholar. What kind of glory was this?
