A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

Jimo City is no small place. Back then, Yan general Yue Yi led a five-nation coalition to attack Qi. Qi suffered a crushing defeat, King Min of Qi was killed, and the capital Linzi was lost.

Only Ju City and Jimo City remained in the hands of the Qi army. Tian Dan, who was temporarily elected, led several thousand elite soldiers in Jimo City to resist Yan. In the end, he defeated Yan with the fire ox formation and accomplished the miraculous feat of restoring the country.

Chapter 55 Han Fei, you really have a great master!

After hearing Han Fei's words, he now had someone to suspect.

However, he could not be completely certain that the black aura surrounding Han Fei originated from these two people from Jimo City, since the two sides had no connection and they had no reason to harm Han Fei.

Have those two already left?

"No, they're still staying at Little Sage Manor, it seems they're waiting for Master to leave together." Han Fei said, then looked puzzled. "Uncle-Master, this shouldn't be considered a good thing, right? I didn't get anything!"

"Ahem. Maybe this good thing hasn't happened yet."

Bai Yuan made up an excuse, but in his heart he was thinking that it was fortunate that this "good thing" had not yet come, otherwise it would be hard to say whether you would still be alive and kicking here.

Although he didn't know what that black aura was, Bai Yuan knew it was definitely harmful to the human body.

Han Fei had at least called him "Uncle-Master," and had done a lot for him during this time, so he couldn't just sit idly by, both out of courtesy and reason.

He wanted to see what kind of monster it was.

Han Fei, however, was somewhat disappointed after hearing Bai Yuan's explanation.

It seems that all these divination, fortune telling, and face and palm readings are indeed scams.

He thought he was finally about to have good luck.

However, Han Fei was quite open-minded; he hadn't really expected this kind of thing to happen anyway.

Han Fei took a small sip of his wine and then stopped thinking about all those other things.

Bai Yuan didn't bring up what had just happened again, but instead smiled and started talking about other things.

Soon, the two jars of wine were empty.

Han Fei wanted to drink more, but Bai Yuan stopped him.

It would be better for him to go back to Xiaoshengxianzhuang with them now, since we don't know what kind of harm that spirit on him might cause!

Han Fei, however, was still somewhat unsatisfied. He had been holding back from drinking for half a month at Xiaoshengxianzhuang. Now that he had finally managed to sneak out, he was determined to drink to his heart's content.

But Bai Yuan's single sentence had him by the throat.

"Han Fei, you don't want Senior Brother Xun Kuang to find out that you secretly went out to drink, do you?"

Threatened by him, Han Fei sighed inwardly at his bad luck and had no choice but to go back with them. However, before leaving, he still filled a gourd with wine to take back with him.

Han Fei had also figured it out. If Xun Kuang found out he went home drunk, he would definitely be scolded. But if he brought wine home, he could drink it slowly.

Bai Yuan did not stop him from doing so.

He greeted Xuan Jian and agreed to meet up again sometime.

It was only then that Han Fei realized that the tavern owner was actually a friend of Bai Yuan.

He originally wanted to ask what was going on, but Bai Yuan brushed him off with a few words.

The fewer people who know the true identities of Xuan Jian and his wife, the better, as this would benefit both them and Han Fei.

Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

Upon returning to Xiaoshengxianzhuang, Bai Yuan told Ningyan to go back and rest first, while he went to find the source of the black aura on Han Fei's body.

Having learned from Han Fei through subtle means that the two people from Jimo City were temporarily staying in the house behind Jiwei Palace, Bai Yuan walked towards that direction as if by accident.

However, he was disappointed to find that the two people were not there; they had probably gone out.

After much thought, Bai Yuan decided to go and ask Xun Kuang.

Anyway

Han Fei shouldn't have any problems in Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

When Bai Yuan arrived at the Luomei Chess Room, Xun Kuang was studying a game of chess, and there was no dark aura on him.

As expected of a Confucian master, he was protected by a righteous aura. Although he looked like a frail old man, Bai Yuan could not see through him at all.

When Xun Kuang saw Bai Yuan, he smiled and waved to him.

"Junior Brother Bai Yuan, what brings you here? Perfect timing, come and play a game with me."

Bai Yuan took his seat and, while playing chess with Xun Kuang, asked, "I heard that Senior Brother Xun has been invited to a banquet in Jimo City?"

"Oh? Han Fei told you, right?"

Xun Kuang made the first move with a snap, immediately guessing who had spoken to Bai Yuan about these things.

After all, news of his invitation had not spread, and not many people knew about it. Han Fei happened to be there yesterday.

Furthermore, he also knew that Bai Yuan and Han Fei had an inexplicably good relationship, so the answer was already quite obvious.

Bai Yuan nodded, without denying it.

"I did receive an invitation. Ji Moxi, the head of the Ji Mo clan, is celebrating his birthday. He sent his eldest son and eldest daughter to invite me to the birthday banquet, but I have difficulty walking, so I plan to decline."

Xun Kuang said this while playing chess.

Bai Yuan almost burst out laughing when he heard this.

Jimo City and Sanghai are not far apart, and it would only take two days to go there and back. It wouldn't require him to travel a long distance. Besides, Xun Kuang doesn't look like he has any difficulty walking. He is obviously making excuses to avoid going.

Why are you suddenly asking this?

Xun Kuang was somewhat curious as to why Bai Yuan would care about such a matter.

Bai Yuan placed a piece on the chessboard and then explained, "I was just curious about Jimo City. After all, in the State of Qi, apart from Linzi, Jimo can be considered the largest city."

Hearing his words, Xun Kuang nodded slightly.

That's good. Compared to Sanghai, Jimo City is more prosperous and more famous.

In the State of Qi, Jimo was a major city comparable to Linzi.

Xun Kuang smiled when he heard that Bai Yuan was so interested.

"Would Junior Brother Bai Yuan be interested in visiting Jimo?"

"what?"

Bai Yuan was puzzled by his question.

"They came all the way here to invite me, so it would be inappropriate for me to refuse directly. That's why I originally planned to send Han Fei to the banquet in my place. If my junior brother is interested, he can go with me."

Xun Kuang stroked his beard and told Bai Yuan his thoughts.

Holding the chess piece, Bai Yuan couldn't help but silently mourn for Han Fei.

Han Fei, you really have a great teacher!

However, considering that Xun Kuang probably didn't know about Han Fei's situation, Bai Yuan could understand his actions.

Considering that the black aura emanating from Han Fei might be related to Jimo, and given his strong desire to visit this legendary city, he didn't refuse.

"If it's convenient, I would naturally like to visit Jimo City as well."

Xun Kuang smiled and nodded: "With your status, attending this banquet is no problem at all. I believe they will be very happy to see you when they find out."

As he spoke, his hands moved swiftly, placing another piece on the chessboard with a thud.

Bai Yuan glanced at the chessboard and was immediately dumbfounded.

While he was concerned about Han Fei's affairs, Xun Kuang was setting a trap for him on the chessboard, showing no mercy and about to kill his dragon!

"Junior brother, you flatter me!"

Clearly, Bai Yuan suffered a crushing defeat in this game.

"Senior brother's chess skills are superb; I am no match for him!"

Bai Yuan readily admitted defeat; in terms of chess, he was truly no match for Xun Kuang.

Having won a game of chess and solved a difficult problem, Xun Kuang was in an extremely good mood.

"Regarding your trip to Jimo, I will explain it to the people of the Jimo clan later, and then I will bring them to see you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan immediately nodded in agreement, as he was just worried about not being able to see anyone!

"In that case, I'll go back and wait for my senior brother's news."

"Well, let's go!"

Chapter 56 I almost thought I'd encountered a sword immortal

As night fell, Bai Yuan was writing something on a blank scroll in the room, while Ning Yan ground ink for him.

Although Bai Yuan couldn't determine whether the black spirit on Han Fei's body was good or bad at the moment, it didn't stop him from preparing weapons in advance.

He picked up his pen and wrote down the contents of the Confucian classic "The Analects: Shu Er" on the scroll.

Because the scroll he prepared was of limited size, he did not write much, but even so, it was enough.

After rolling up and sealing the scroll, Bai Yuan held it in his hand, and his entire demeanor underwent a tremendous change.

Ningyan was slightly taken aback when she saw this. At this moment, he gave people the feeling of a well-read Confucian scholar, with a humble and gentle demeanor.

Bai Yuan was still somewhat dissatisfied.

After all, this scroll is not very portable. If he had time, he would have to have someone make him a folding fan.

He can then inscribe something on it, which will have the same effect.

Of course, most importantly, he's handsome!

Bai Yuan put down the scroll and glanced at Ningyan beside him.

"Want to come for a walk with me?"

Ningyan nodded and did not refuse his invitation.

The two sat down on the cliff by the sea and quietly watched the bright moon on the distant sea.

"I'm going to Jimo City in a couple of days, why don't you come with me!"
