If the King of Zhao does not agree to withdraw his troops, he will definitely lead the Mohist disciples to help the State of Yan and resist the invasion of the State of Zhao.

However, this would mean the sacrifice of many Mohist disciples.

Chapter 187 Forcibly Sending a Wave of Gifts

Things went exactly as the Mohists had predicted.

The following morning, Six-Fingered Black Knight failed to meet King Zhao and was stopped at the palace gate by the palace guards.

King Zhao certainly knew perfectly well what the Mohists were there to do.

King Yan of Zhao has only recently ascended the throne and is eager to make great strides. How could he possibly pay any attention to the Mohists, these opportunists?

He had made thorough preparations for sending Li Mu to attack the Yan state, and he was determined to win this great battle.

When Li Mu returns to the capital in triumph, his fame will surely spread far and wide.

Of course, this was just King Zhao's personal opinion.

But the reason why King Zhao could not see the Six-Fingered Black Knight was not just that.

Because of Bai Yuan's towering sword strike, the whole city is now buzzing with discussion.

King Zhao naturally noticed the sword strike and immediately realized that an extraordinary expert had appeared in the city.

Such a presence instilled fear in even the King of Zhao.

As the monarch of a country, what he fears most is someone with such high military strength.

Although to ordinary people, a monarch holds the reins of power over the country, above all others, and has the power of life and death, in the eyes of these people with extremely high combat strength, he is actually no different from an ordinary person.

It is worth noting that events such as Zhuan Zhu assassinating King Liao, Yao Li assassinating Prince Qing Ji, and Nie Zheng assassinating the uncle of King Han were quite common.

The higher one's position, the more wary one becomes of these martial arts masters.

Because they find it difficult to control such beings.

Even deep within the palace, guarded by the royal guards in black, King Zhao still lacked a sense of security.

This is also one of the reasons why King Zhao refused to meet the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

Six-Fingered Black Knight is a renowned master in the martial arts world.

As the saying goes, a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, so King Zhao was naturally unwilling to take the risk of meeting him.

Six-Fingered Black Knight was aware of this, but he was still somewhat disappointed.

Just as he was about to lead the Mo family back to their stronghold, he saw a group of people suddenly emerge from the palace.

Leading the group was a commander of the Black-Clad Army, who led a squad of soldiers, dragging several carts of treasure outside.

"How is this going?"

Dao Zhi was very curious when he saw the group of soldiers in black passing by.

The six-fingered black-clad swordsman seemed lost in thought.

"Perhaps this group of people went to see that master. That person acted recklessly in the city, clearly with a sword strike driven by anger. King Zhao was probably afraid that this person was after him, so he specially sent people to deliver gifts to show goodwill."

"Master, should we go and take a look? Didn't you say before that we might recognize this person?"

Dao Zhi showed great interest at this moment and made a suggestion.

Six-Fingered Black Knight was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Very well, since such a person has appeared in the city, it is only right and proper that we pay him a visit."

The Mo family members immediately followed the group of black-clad soldiers, heading towards Bai Yuan's residence.

At this moment, Bai Yuan was feeding Xue'er and Xiao Qing.

Xue'er happily munched on a small dried fish, while Xiao Qing had already swallowed her food in one gulp and quietly stayed by Bai Yuan's side.

While feeding the two spirit pets, Bai Yuan received two system notifications in succession.

I was already used to this

He was used to it and didn't care, but suddenly he was stunned.

Feeding your spirit pet grants +1 Spirit Mastery Experience and grants the pet the attribute: Wood Mastery (Green)

【Wood Control】: This ability allows spirit pets to control wood and awaken wood-attribute energy. Wherever the spirit pet is, wood-attribute energy will become more abundant, which will help plants grow.

Upon seeing this entry, which was obtained by feeding Xiaoqing, Bai Yuan immediately felt that this thing was a very good match for Xiaoqing.

Ever since Bai Yuan subdued Xiao Qing, he had always had it help take care of his spiritual herbs. It could be said that Xiao Qing had become his personal spiritual herbalist.

Therefore, the entry for "Yumu" perfectly matches Xiaoqing's duties.

Seeing that Bai Yuan's mood seemed to have suddenly improved a lot, Xiao Qing flicked her tongue and also looked very happy.

Bai Yuan beckoned to Xiao Qing, who immediately scurried over and wrapped herself around his hand.

Bai Yuan smiled and gently stroked the small green snake, which felt cool and slippery to the touch, while also applying the [Wood Control] skill to it.

Xiaoqing suddenly felt something was wrong with her; an energy that she couldn't understand had appeared in her body.

Bai Yuan also keenly sensed the wood-attribute energy on Xiao Qing's body, which was somewhat similar to the internal energy of the Hei Bai sisters, but much weaker in comparison.

However, this energy was indeed extraordinary, instantly repairing the wounds on his body that had not yet fully healed.

Xue'er, who was munching on dried fish, stopped and looked up at the green snake coiled in Bai Yuan's hand. She narrowed her eyes.

I never expected that this snake would also start receiving gifts from its master, but the title of the strongest spirit pet is still mine!

After figuring this out, Xue'er felt at ease and started eating her dried fish again.

When Xiaoqing first loaded the entry, she was still a little confused about the situation, only knowing that it all seemed to be related to Bai Yuan.

"You felt the presence of that energy, didn't you? Digest it properly!"

Bai Yuan smiled and put Xiao Qing down.

"Xue'er, you should have more experience in this area. As the eldest, you should teach it how to use the energy in its body."

Upon hearing this, Xue'er, who was enjoying her meal, was suddenly stunned. She immediately put down the dried fish and made a promise to Bai Yuan.

"Meow~ (I'll teach it well!)"

"So good!"

Bai Yuan smiled and patted the cat's head.

At this moment, the two people in black and white who were learning Zhao dance from Xue Nu in the courtyard walked over.

"what happened?"

“There was a group of soldiers outside the courtyard. They claimed to be here on the orders of King Zhao to deliver gifts.”

"King Zhao?"

Bai Yuan was puzzled when he heard this. Guo Kai's apology had not yet arrived, so how come the King of Zhao's gift had arrived first?

He quickly figured it out. It was probably because the strength he had shown earlier had frightened the King of Zhao, which was why the King had taken the initiative to send someone to befriend him.

Bai Yuan smiled gently.

"Alright then! I won't go see them. You can accept those gifts for me and then pass on a message: I appreciate King Zhao's kindness, and I want to assure him that he need not worry about me doing anything out of line. I really like this place, so I plan to stay here for a while, and I don't want to be disturbed during this time."

The two men, one in black and one in white, nodded upon hearing this and then left.

The two arrived at the courtyard gate and met the commander of the black-clad army.

The commander of the black-clad army seemed somewhat anxious: "What did Mr. Bai Yuan say?"

“The gentleman is busy and cannot receive guests, but he said that we have accepted the King of Zhao’s kindness. Please go back and tell the King of Zhao that there is no need to worry. The gentleman only wants to stay here quietly for a while and does not want to be disturbed.”

Upon hearing this, the commander of the black-clad army breathed a sigh of relief.

It doesn't matter if we don't see Bai Yuan; the main thing is that we have to deliver this gift.

Moreover, judging from this, Bai Yuan has no ill intentions towards King Zhao, which is the best outcome.

Chapter 188 Sorry, they're mine now.

The black-clad soldiers left behind several cartloads of gifts and then hurriedly returned to report, carrying Bai Yuan's words with them.

Looking at the several carts of goods parked at the entrance of the courtyard, the two men in black and white couldn't help but smile at each other.

Although in their eyes, these few cartloads of gifts were nothing compared to Bai Yuan's abilities, and Bai Yuan had no shortage of gold and silver treasures, they were still happy that Bai Yuan had received these gifts.

The two immediately prepared to go back and have Ningyan and Jimo Huaxue handle these matters.

Just then, they suddenly saw a group of people appear in the distance. The leader was wearing a jet-black cloak, completely hiding his true appearance under the cloak.

This group of people were none other than the Mohist leader, Six-Fingered Black Knight, and a host of Mohist commanders who had arrived here following the Black-Clad Army.

However, they chose to visit after the Black Army had left.

Upon seeing this group of people, the two men in black and white immediately widened their eyes.

At this moment, the Mo family members also saw the Black and White Sisters, and their expressions changed in unison, revealing anger.

"It's Shao Siming from the Yin Yang School!"

Seeing the black and white figures who had once joined the Yin-Yang School elders in their attempt to kill him, Six-Fingered Black Knight was clearly surprised.

He tightened his grip on the dark-browed sword.

Previously, Six-Fingered Black Knight was inexplicably besieged by the elders of the Yin-Yang Clan, and even though he has a good temper, he would get angry.

Needless to say, the other members of the Mo family were eager to rush to the Yin-Yang School's stronghold, the Nine Palaces of Divine Capital, after learning that their leader, the Six-Fingered Black Knight, had been besieged and injured.

Originally, Six-Fingered Black Knight planned to lead his men to the Divine Capital Nine Palaces after recovering from his injuries to seek justice from the Yin-Yang School. However, as soon as he recovered, he heard the news that the Zhao Kingdom was about to attack Yan.

So he was busy preventing the war between Yan and Zhao, and could only put this matter aside for the time being and go to the State of Zhao first.

But unexpectedly, he ran into Shao Siming of the Yin Yang School, who had participated in the siege of him that day.

"Master, it really is an acquaintance! I never expected it to be those lunatics from the Yin Yang School!"

Dao Zhi spoke very rudely, his words revealing great hostility towards the two men, Hei and Bai.

Six-Fingered Black Knight raised his sword, signaling Dao Zhi and the others to calm down.

"Why would someone from the Yin-Yang School be here?"
