Holding his phone, Ling Ping’an looked at the e-book.

“Self, id, superego…”

Ling Ping’an was thinking about something as he read, “So that’s how it works!”

This e-book had benefited him greatly.

Other than the content of the book itself, what was important was the chapter between the chapters and the words.

There were many explanations and notes left behind by people.

The wisdom of the masses allowed him to quickly understand what the book was about.

“The self is bestiality…”

“The self is human nature…”

“The superego is conscience…”

“Perhaps my bestiality is so strong that I have hallucinations!”

However, in the world that he could not see or hear, there were many things unknown to him.

In his shadow reflected by the table lamp, countless jeers echoed within.

The corners of his mouth also curled up slightly, filled with mockery.

Thus, Ling Ping’an faintly felt as if he heard a jeer in his ears.

He stood up, looked to his side, and frowned.

“Are there hallucinations too?” He shook his head.

However, his expression suddenly froze because he thought of a question.

“Who defines bestiality?”

“And who defines humanity?”

“And who is restraining conscience?”

“Is it me?”

“Or… this World?”

He muttered to himself as the thoughts in his mind kept on running wild.

Vaguely, there seemed to be countless voices whispering.

It was like the way a kindergarten teacher guided a child to play a game.

Listening to these whispers, Ling Ping’an had a feeling.

He felt like a big fat worm that was tightly wrapped in silk.

The silk wrapped and bound him one by one.

It also isolated the influence of the outside world on him, filtering out all the bad phenomena in the world.

It was like…

“Information Cocoon Room!” This word popped up in Ling Pingan’s mind.

His eyes were blinded.

His ears were blocked.

His breath, his touch, and his feelings were all filtered once.

Those whispers seemed to be guiding him and teaching him how to bite through the silk that bound him and how to break out of the imprison that bound him.

As long as he followed them, he would definitely succeed.

Take for example, the silk that the silkworm spat out was for better evolution.

From a baby insect to a moth.

To have a bigger body, stronger strength, and more abilities.

Everything happened in order to enter a brand new stage of life.

So…

Ling Ping’an became calm and fierce.

“I’ve really gone crazy!”

Because, according to his current thoughts, he was the one who had blinded his eyes, and he was the one who had blocked his ears. He was the one who had filtered his breathing, touch, and feelings.

In other words, he had tied himself up, covered his eyes, and blocked his ears and nose.

He locked myself up, and he beat myself up.

Wasn’t this perverted?

At this moment, the phone rang.

Ling Ping’an looked down and saw that it was his aunt.

He smiled and immediately relaxed, after which he took the phone and answered the call.

And at a certain moment, the corner of his mouth curved up.

In the flesh under his skin, there seemed to be countless things squirming.

In his eyes, countless pupils were overlapping.

Strange, cold, illusory, terrifying, evil…

There were even more pupils that did not look human.

Nevertheless, the smile on his face was extremely relaxed and sincere.

Along with the changing and overlapping expression in his eyes.

His entire person became extremely strange and dangerous, for he was no longer a passerby.

He was the kind of peerless murderer who would feel a bone-chilling chill just by looking at him.

Like an executioner who had killed countless people on the execution ground, he was no difference from a crazy killer in the movie.

However, he didn’t know that as he leaned against the back of his chair and greeted his aunt on the other side of the phone, “Aunt, where are you?”

He heard Li An’an’s cheeky and cheerful voice from the other side of the phone, “Ping An! Aunt, I’ve worked hard for You All Day!”

Li Anan, who was driving out of the underground garage, wore a Bluetooth and beamed. “You mustn’t let down Aunty’s hard work today!”

“What?” Ling Ping’an didn’t quite understand.

But his expression was extremely indifferent.

It was as if he understood everything and had it all under control.

In his heart, he also sensed that he seemed to know what Aunty had done today.

However, those were all trivial matters. They were not worth mentioning, and he did not need to pay attention to them.

Therefore, he was a little lazy.

He heard his aunt on the phone say, “You will know soon!”

“Hmm?”Ling pingan frowned.

“Someone should be ringing the doorbell!”His aunt said.

Right then, the doorbell rang outside the door as expected.

Ling Ping’an was stunned. “Aunt, what on earth did you do?”

“Hehe!” Li An’an laughed out loud. “I’m not talking to you anymore! Go Open the door! I still have to drive!”

He hung up the phone.

Ling Ping’an shook his head. “This aunty of mine!!”

But he was used to it.

His own aunty was like this.

She had been like this since she was young. Although she was twenty-seven or twenty-eight year old, she was still like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, always smiling foolishly.

He shrugged his shoulders.

Vaguely, he could guess that his aunt must have pulled some strings for him outside.

She must have arranged a blind date for him, or else how could he not know his aunt’s thoughts?

He sighed, then tidied up his appearance and walked to the door.

No matter what, it was aunt’s good intentions.

He had to deal with it so that his aunt wouldn’t be in a difficult position.

Thus, he walked to the door and opened it.

An old man appeared in front of the door.

He looked very old, but he had a kind expression.

However, he felt that there was something wrong with this old man’s body.

His qi and blood were weak, right?

Countless prescriptions appeared in his mind at that moment.

There were traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions.

Some were modern medicine.

There were even some messy prescriptions.

His subconscious told him that any one of these prescriptions could solve the old man’s current problems.

There were even some that could completely cure him, and he would never have to worry about this problem again.

The only trouble was that these prescriptions only flashed through his mind.

Moreover, most of the handwriting was chaotic and disorderly, which couldn’t see it clearly at all.

As Ling Ping’an shook his head in his heart, a smile appeared on his face. He asked very politely, “Old Man, you are?”

…

Lang Cailin stood at the door.

He looked at the person in front of him.

This young Master X.

Compared to the afternoon, this young Master X was like a completely different person.

In his eyes, Young Master X in the afternoon was like the ocean, unfathomable.

Currently, this young Master X, who was wearing very ordinary casual clothes, gave him the feeling that he was like a vast and endless universe.

Deep, distant, vast..

Filled with the unknown, filled with danger, and filled with countless opportunities.

“Is this the real Young Master X?” As he thought, he bowed his head slightly to express his personal respect, and also to express the supreme respect that the royal family of Ceylon had for the mighty figure of Shang Kingdom.

“Young Master…” He held a small and exquisite food box in his hand. “On the orders of my miss, this old man has specially come to deliver the soup that miss has personally prepared for you…”

It was a custom in Ceylon that, if a woman had a crush on someone, she would personally prepare a soup for him.

Ling Ping’an listened and wanted to decline the offer.

However, the taste of the food box made him unable to say anything to decline.

Because it was simply too fragrant.

To a gourmet, tasting delicious food was something that could not be refused.

Thus, Ling Ping’an could only smile.

“Old man, please come in!” He said very politely.

Lang Cailin immediately bowed once again.

But…

“Human…” In a trance, he saw the corners of Young Master X’s mouth curl up slightly.

His demeanor was like that of a mythical grade emperor or heavenly emperor.

He was high and mighty, and the psionic power around him was like a surging wave, surging and rolling.

No one saw him move his mouth.

His voice had already begun to ring out from all directions.

“In front of my imperial majesty… you should be careful with your words and actions. You ought to tremble with fear instead of disobeying me!”

Faintly, a figure wearing a crown appeared behind Young Master X.

This figure covered the sky and the Sun.

The hanging beads swirled with the sun, moon, and stars, faintly showing the mountains, rivers, and the Sun and moon.

An endless domineering aura, vast and mighty.

No more words were needed.

Lang Cailin already predicted this.

In front of this person, he had to be careful, he had to be careful.

He had to be cautious, as if he was treading on thin ice, as if he was facing an abyss.

One wrong step could lead to eternal damnation!

It wasn’t just him, but also Ceylon behind him.

In this person’s eyes, he represented Ceylon.

Hence, Lang Cailin lowered his head. “Yes!” His attitude was respectful, just like when he represented Ceylon to the emperor of the Great Xia.

However, he couldn’t help but have doubts in his heart.

“This afternoon’s Young Master X and the current Young Master X, why are they so different?”

Although the young Master X that he saw in the afternoon was also arrogant and unruly, this domineering aura was simply a different feeling.

He still dared to pry in the afternoon.

At the moment, the psionic power all over his body couldn’t even generate the slightest bit of strength to move.

In front of him, it was like facing a krill that had opened the mouth of a giant blue whale in the abyss.

Carefully holding the food box in his hand, Lang Cailin placed it on the table. “Young Master, I’ve placed it here for you…”

Ling Ping’an nodded and said, “There’s no need to stand on ceremony, Old Master… Please sit down!”

Lang Cailin was trembling with fear. How could he dare to do it?

Although Young Master X did not have the imposing and awe-inspiring aura from before, he was still a young man.

Looking at him, he looked just like an ordinary young man.

However, the more he looked like this, the greater the pressure on Lang Cai Lin.

He bowed. “Young Master, where is this old man’s position in front of you?”

As Ling Ping’an shook his head, he said, “Old Sir… What are you talking about?”

However, he couldn’t help but feel doubtful.

What kind of matchmaking partner did his aunt find for him?

Could it be that it was the kind of aristocratic family in the imperial capital?

There were still aristocratic families in the federal empire.

After all, three hundred years of founding history.

Had left behind many large clans that had been prominent since the previous dynasty.

However, unlike the domineering and cool aristocratic families described in online novels.

The ‘aristocratic families ‘in reality were actually very low-key.

The main reason was that they didn’t dare to be high-key.

In the Internet era, public opinion could quickly magnify many things that were just three glasses of wine in the past.

Take the arrogant noblewoman that Ling Ping’an met on the plane when he came to the imperial city as an example.

Yesterday, she had already been sued by her husband to the court, asking for a divorce.

At the same time, she had also been sued multiple times by Imperial City Airlines, including reputation infringement and abuse of power.

Some legal experts claimed that the lady’s lawsuit was bound to lose.

That was because the prosecution formed a luxury lawyer group.

Its chief lawyer, it is said that it has not been defeated for 15 years.

And on the Internet, the netizens were basically applauding.

If the so-called ‘aristocratic families’ were exposed, they would basically end up in the same situation.

Therefore, the ‘aristocratic families’ had learned their lesson.

In other words, those who hadn’t learned their lesson had been eliminated.

The remaining people were all low-key and introverted fellows who had silently struck it rich.

In any case, Ling Ping’an had heard that among the top 100 shareholders of the Listed Companies in the Federal Empire, there were ‘aristocratic families’.

And apart from being low-key, the most important trait of the aristocratic families was their conservatism.

Most of the aristocratic families had the same existence as the former family servants and diners.

These people shared honor and disgrace with the main family for generations and could not be separated.

It was similar to the relationship between Granny Hu, Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhang and the Ling family.

These people huddled together and lived a life similar to that of three hundred years ago.

The difference between master and servant was very clear. The hierarchy of the upper and lower was unsurpassable.

Fortunately, they wouldn’t disturb other people.

They only closed their doors to enjoy themselves.

So, the cabinet and the government couldn’t interfere.

Presently, in Ling Ping’an’s opinion, this old man was probably an old retainer of a certain ‘aristocratic family’.

“Where did little aunt set up the line?” Ling Ping’an thought with a strange expression. “Could it be that she went to brag?”

Thinking about it carefully, as long as the old Ling family was wrapped up, it could still be blown up.

Other than his generation, the old Ling family could be said to have been scholarly for generations, and it was extremely honorable.

This kind of family background, even if it was ruined, would still be able to arouse the interest of many people.

After all, the federal empire was very interested in the image of a scholarly family.

This was especially the case for the old aristocratic families.

If their daughter married an emerging internet upstart, people would gossip about her.

They would assume that it was for money.

But after marrying into a scholarly family, it was a matter of honor.

No matter how poor they were, they could still afford it.

Thinking of this, Ling Ping’an asked without batting an eyelid, “Old sir… may I know who you are?”

Lang Cailin immediately bowed. “This old man, Lang Cailin, came under the orders of my young miss to greet the young master!”

Of course, he did not dare to say that he was sent by the Princess of the Kingdom of Ceylon.

That was because, in front of such an important figure of the country.

The only thing a small country could do was to be submissive.

Anything that showed off or boasted about was just adding fuel to the fire!

For the past 300 years, Ceylon had always been dutiful.

The Empire pointed to the east and would never go west.

Unlike Xinluo and Fusang, who thought that they were the legitimate sons of the Central Plains or the gentlemen of the Eastern Sea, their eyes almost reached their foreheads.

It was precisely because of this that although Ceylon was outside the borders and far away from the central plains.

It had always been recognized by the Federal Empire as a ‘special partner ‘and a ‘strategic partner for All-weather Cooperation’.

And the more the officials were like this, the lower Ceylon’s stature became.

This was the wisdom of Ceylon’s survival.

Only those who were given by the higher-ups could be taken.

What the state did not give could not be asked for.

Just like what the King of Ceylon had said: The most important thing to serve parents was filial piety! Filial piety could not be said with words, it had to be done with actions!

Now, Lang Cailin was also obediently using Ceylon’s usual policy towards Xia.

Filial piety!

Filial piety was the hardest thing to do.

But it was also the best thing to do!

Because sincerity was the key, for one could not fake it.

Only then could one make the country happy and make this Young Master X satisfied.

Only then could one maintain an advantage in the competition!

One had to know that right now, every country had their eyes on this person.

Ceylon only had an advantage.

Ling Ping’an looked at Lang Cailin, who was well-behaved in front of him, as well as Grandma Hu, Uncle Wang, and the others.

He sighed.

He was most afraid of such people.

This meant that as long as the other party agreed, it would be very difficult for him to refuse.

“Do I really have to go on a blind date and get married?” Ling Ping’an thought.

He didn’t care about that.

After all, it was his duty to start a family and establish a business.

He was the only child in the old Ling family.

If he was alone, how could he face the ancestors of the Ling Family?

Therefore, he pinched his nose and could accept it.

The reason why he was always single was that he was afraid of wasting other people’s girls.

Think about it..

He had face blindness and had all kinds of problems that he admitted to himself.

Lazy, undisciplined, heartless.

Apart from a cheap conscience and a decent family, he had nothing.

If the lady married him, she would probably not only have to serve him, but she might also have to worry about his daily life, as well as the daily necessities.

Thinking about it, Ling Ping’an felt that the girl was not worth it.

He was a gentleman.

A gentleman would not force others to do anything, and a gentleman would not just stand by and watch others drown.

Therefore, Ling Ping’an always felt that rather than dragging others down, it was better for him to be alone.

As Ling Ping’an chuckled, he said to the old man, “Mr. Lang… The lady is too kind!”

He looked at the exquisite and simple food box on the table.

The meat fragrance in the food box was very rich.

There was also a faint fragrance of lotus leaves, which was very comfortable to smell.

Presumably, that lady must be a gentle little girl.

Therefore, he said, “It’s just that I’m stupid and crude… I’m afraid I’m not a good match!”

Yes!

With face blindness, it was hard for him to distinguish between beauty and ugliness.

He didn’t even have the concept of beauty and ugliness in the conventional sense.

In his eyes, tall, short, fat, and thin were all the same.

It was nothing more than looking at someone who was more pleasing to the eye and cuter.

But when it came to feelings or liking this kind of thing?

For so many years, apart from his aunt, he treated everyone equally.

He would sympathize when he saw pity, and he would be happy for him when he saw others succeed after hard work.

But apart from that, there was nothing else.

In other words, if he really wanted to marry a wife, she would only be a reproductive tool.

She was also born and raised by her parents.

She wasn’t a child-bearing tool for his old Ling family.

But he couldn’t say it directly. Otherwise, it would be a slap to his aunt’s face.

He could only think of a way to be tactful and conceal his identity.

Firstly, he didn’t let down his aunt’s good intentions, so that she wouldn’t be in a difficult position.

Secondly, he also took into account the lady’s good intentions.

Third, he also took into account the relationship.

In Ling Pingan’s view, it was simply perfect.

However, when Lang Cailin heard it, she interpreted it in another meaning.

Lang Cailin bent his body and said humbly, “Young Master… My Lady knows that she is only a commoner. She does not dare to expect to serve her…”

“I only hope that you don’t mind…”

“If I can find some time to meet her once or twice, I’ll be satisfied!”

That’s right.

Ceylon was only a small country.

How would she dare to hope to become the wife and concubine of Young Master X, the Great one who controlled the world and even controlled the world?

Wasn’t that an unwise decision?

Ceylon couldn’t afford it and didn’t dare to either.

For the country, the best solution was to be at a distance.

To be a servant who could come and go as she was summoned.

In this way, not only could she be sheltered, she could even fulfill her wishes.

She could also be protected from other people’s prying, framing, and suppression, and stay out of the matter.

Therefore, the moment Ling Ping’an’s words left his mouth, Lang Cailin immediately subconsciously expressed his true thoughts: Please don’t misunderstand… we are really sensible… we won’t give you any trouble!

Ling Pingan was dumbfounded, so he swallowed his saliva.

“What the hell is little aunt doing?”

He was confused and couldn’t understand the current situation at all.

“Is it not a blind date?”

“Or…” Ling Ping’an thought, “My words have stimulated the other party?”

He recalled the old man’s words.

The posture of Pu Liu?

This could be self-deprecating, or it could be true.

That Lady had some sort of flaw?

Physical or psychological?

If that was the case, did she think that she knew something and rejected it?

As for other possibilities?

He directly ignored them because it was impossible!

This was the modern society.

The women’s liberation movement had been going on for almost 200 years!

Although there were still affairs like having an affair or having a mistress in the federal empire, there were very few cases where a girl from a good family would step onto such an evil path.

Basically, modern women who had received higher education and had their own independent financial ability would have self-respect and self-respect.

Why should women be inferior to men?

The concept of equality between men and women had long been deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

Even in the Guangnan region, the trend of prioritizing men over women had already passed.

Now, people all liked their daughters.

They also increasingly doted on their daughters.

Secondly, Ling Ping’an didn’t think that he had any charisma or background that could make others his concubines and maids.

Didn’t you see that the current urban novels were already dominated by Asura fields?

Upon thinking of this, Ling Ping’an laughed.

“Miss Gui, you’re still very good!” He closed his eyes and began to praise her. “It’s just that my talent is shallow, and I’ve let you down!”

However, Lang Cailin immediately understood.

All important figures were like this.

Their image had to be maintained perfectly, let alone such a high-ranking national figure?

The history books had already written it clearly, and he had seen many of them himself.

Thus, he bowed respectfully and said, “Young master’s wishes, I will pass them on to my family’s young Miss!”

“Young Master, please do not worry about it! We are really, really tactful, and won’t cause you any trouble!
