The scholarly gentleman was taken aback by the words, "You mean the Princely Heir..."
Lv Bojun shook his head and replied, "I can’t be sure, but it’s clear he wants to use this old man as a tool."
"Your Highness invited Chen Mo to dine at the palace twice. His attitude was obvious enough... This young man carries a great influence. Whoever crosses him is doomed, yet some fools can’t see it and dare to cause him trouble."
"As for Chu Heng..."
"Haha, he thought he was the fisherman, unaware he’s just a big fish about to take the bait."
"At such times, it’s best to stay away to avoid getting into trouble."
Lv Bojun reeled in his line and stood up.
He noticed the fishhook was bare, not even having bait attached.
"The world is the pond, and the people are the fish. Only a few have the right to fish in these waters."
"Now, the court is fraught with undercurrents. If we wish for a peaceful end, we must adapt with the tides. If we get confused by the waves and bite the bait, we will be like fish on a chopping block, at the mercy of others."
"The Xu Family and the Zhou Family are precedents we should learn from."
The scholarly gentleman took the fishing rod, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"I had hoped to bask in the sun, but instead, my mood has been disturbed. I’m leaving."
Lv Bojun hunched over and walked away with his hands behind his back.
The scholarly gentleman held the fishing rod and silently followed behind.
The two blended into the bustling crowd, like fish entering water, causing not even a ripple.
...

...
"Sir, are we done yet? My legs are weak... Why are you holding me up?"
"Good Yuan’er, open your eyes and see."
"No, don’t, I don’t want to look in the mirror; it’s so embarrassing, ahhhh o(*////▽////*)q~"
An hour later.
Chen Mo emerged from the inner chamber, feeling refreshed.
Meanwhile, Li Yuan was still inside, wiping away the "正" character from her body.
Ever since Chen Mo had passed on the "Dong Xuanzi Yin Yang Thirty-Six Skills" to Li Yuan, her endurance had significantly increased, allowing her to last several more rounds.
Under the empowerment of this secret technique, coupled with Chen Mo’s deliberate nurturing, Li Yuan’s cultivation had advanced rapidly, nearing the threshold of the fifth grade!
This made her ecstatic in her practice, and she no longer resisted such absurdity as much...
After all, Chen Mo had already set up an Isolation Array, so there was no worry about being discovered.
A moment later, Li Yuan came out.
Her steps were a bit unsteady, and her fair cheeks still blushed with a lingering hue.
"Yuan’er, are you alright?" Chen Mo asked with concern.
"Not good at all!"
Li Yuan glared at Chen Mo, both embarrassed and annoyed.
This rogue always spoke so nicely, but every time, he applied force like grinding medicine, almost to the point of killing her!
"Aren’t you the best patron of the Imperial Music Bureau? Hurry and find Yu’er, I really can’t handle you..."
Smack—
Ripples spread across her bottom.
Li Yuan, who hadn’t fully recovered from the previous sensations, shivered when she was slapped, nearly letting out a sound.
