My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 246 - 129 Arbitrary Li Xuanjing_2

Li Nuo glanced at her, saying, "In terms of beauty, you are both rarely seen beauties, equally matched, but judging someone solely on appearance is the most superficial action. Phoenix is proficient in Qin, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting and also knows flower arrangement. You don’t know these, do you? Your strength is stronger, and you are not inferior even against those in the fourth realm of the Martial Path. However, an ordinary person can bully her. You are not her equal in talents, and she is not your equal in strength. Isn’t that considered each having their own strengths?"

This explanation left Li Anning unable to retort.

She indeed was ignorant of Qin, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting, and flower arrangement.

Compared to those, she felt that having strength was more important.

After pondering, she asked, "Then, what do you think about Phoenix and Song Jiaren..."

Before she finished, Li Nuo said without hesitation, "Of course, it’s my wife who is superior."

"Why?" Li Anning contested.

Why would she and Phoenix each have their own strengths, but Song Jiaren surpassed Phoenix by a wide margin?

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Li Nuo was the one answering, holding the ultimate explanation in his hands.

He had his own criteria for judgment.

In his view, appearance was not the only standard; one must consider all aspects comprehensively.

Being fair and true, in terms of appearance, Li Nuo gave both of them full marks, truly each having their unique qualities.

In terms of figure, Li Nuo could not favor his wife; if Phoenix was full marks, she only scored fifty, and if not for that day’s incident, Li Nuo would only have given her ten out of courtesy.

In terms of talents, Li Nuo was powerless; if Phoenix held full marks, his wife would score twenty at most, even if he took into account her sword dance skills.

With this, Phoenix scored three hundred, while his wife scored one hundred seventy.

In terms of strength, each realm added a hundred, wife’s total was five hundred seventy, Phoenix, with no realm, deductions of a hundred, total two hundred.

Listing standards, stating facts, presenting evidence, Li Anning was fully convinced.

Then she asked, "What about me, according to your standards, am I inferior to Phoenix?"

Fair and square, Li Anning scored full marks in appearance, full in figure, zero in talents, four hundred in strength, total six hundred...

Except in talents, she excelled in all areas, scoring thirty more than his wife, triple of Phoenix.

Li Anning was satisfied with this outcome.

Yet, Li Nuo still felt something was missing — appearance, figure, talents, strength, although these included different aspects, they were still not comprehensive. After some thought, he added another.

Gentleness.

In terms of gentleness, his wife scored eighty; were it not for the kick on the first day, Li Nuo would have given her full marks.

Speaking conscientiously, if his wife scored eighty in gentleness, Phoenix would at least have one hundred fifty.

As for Li Anning, she lost fifty points.

With this, his wife took the first place with six hundred fifty. Li Anning, with five hundred fifty, took second place, and Phoenix, due to severe shortcomings, even though scoring full in other categories, fell to third place with three hundred fifty due to lacking five hundred in strength.

Li Anning, dropping from first to second, felt extremely unreconciled, and slammed her hand on the table in front of Li Nuo, questioning, "Where am I not gentle!"

Several cracks extended from beneath her palm to the edge of the table.

Because Li Nuo called Li Anning ungentle, she refrained from speaking to him for most of the morning.

But she was indeed not gentle.

He loved speaking the truth.

Even in front of his wife, he dared say she was inferior to Li Anning in figure, inferior to Phoenix in talents; the truth was such, false compliments were inferior to sincere evaluations.

Although Li Anning wasn’t gentle, she wasn’t as petty as his wife.

The next morning, she took the initiative to speak to Li Nuo, completely forgetting yesterday’s incident.

Considering this, he could add another fifty points.

Time swiftly became half a month.

This half-month, due to matters at the Anti-theft Bureau, Li Nuo had to visit the Ministry of Justice almost every day.

Those high-ranking members of the Thief Sect, not mentioning other abilities, but in capturing thieves, neither the constables nor the government officials of Chang’an County or the Ministry of Justice could compare.

Li Nuo examined the recent data from the Anti-theft Bureau.

These days, the number of thieves caught by the Anti-theft Bureau had shown a decreasing trend.

Members of the Anti-theft Bureau in Chang’an, approximately forty personnel, were dispersed in various crowded areas of the city, each capturing several petty thieves daily.

With the special operations of the Anti-theft Bureau, Chang’an’s public order also markedly improved.

Pei Zhe informed Li Nuo that these days, the number of citizens coming to the county office to report thefts had greatly diminished.

The number of thieves would only decrease further, and no need existed to expand the personnel of the Anti-theft Bureau further.

If the court did not intend to establish Anti-theft Bureaus across the country, then those remaining members of the Thief Sect held in various prisons could begin their journey of exile.

Today, there was nothing much to do; Li Nuo and Li Anning idly played Go.

In the Imperial Palace, atop the great hall.

The monthly court meeting was held on time every fifteenth.

Nothing significant occurred in the recent half-month.

After officials from various departments successively reported their duties, just a few Imperial Censors stood up to praise the accomplishments made by the Ministry of Justice in anti-theft operations.

Within just this half-month, the Anti-theft Bureau captured hundreds of thieves, significantly reducing theft incidents in various wards of Chang’an, many citizens’ stolen properties were retrieved, and the public highly praised the government’s actions in anti-theft efforts.

This was actually a trivial matter.

The number of thieves in Chang’an being high or low had nothing to do with the court officials — give those thieves ten guts, and they still wouldn’t dare to steal from their residences.

However, just half a month ago, they had just denied the Anti-theft Bureau, yet in this half-month, it had achieved such feats, weren’t many faces getting slapped?
