This time, Yan Jingqing fell silent, showing a pensive expression.
After a while,
he sighed and said, "In this chaotic world, how can one even talk about governing a country..."
The title 'White-Clothed Scholar' in the Martial World was not a facade he deliberately put on; rather, he aspired for a prosperous era and was famous in the Imperial Court for his administrative wisdom. Governing the country and its people was his lifelong ambition, not fighting and killing in the world of Martial Arts.
Then he turned his gaze back to Chen Mu, with even more surprise in his eyes.
When he had asked questions while reading the book earlier, he merely did so casually and didn't expect Chen Mu to have an answer for each one, let alone with thoughts and actions embedded in each response. While he often had similar reflections, he had never summarized them in such a way.
"Who is your mentor?"
Yan Jingqing asked after a brief contemplation.
