Because of the robber Zhi, these villagers suffered an undeserved disaster, so the Mohists promised to bear all the losses and help them rebuild their houses.
This also ensures that they will not be implicated in the future.
The villagers were very simple and honest; after receiving compensation, they did not pursue the matter further.
After learning more, Bai Yuan understood the whole story.
The incident began when Robber Zhi witnessed a minor nobleman using his power to oppress ordinary people and reap huge profits.
So he went to people's homes and stole their things, intending to rob the rich to help the poor. His title of "King of Thieves" was not just for show; it was earned through genuine robbing the rich to help the poor.
He thought this would be a piece of cake, but he didn't expect that the noble family had several guards who were originally from the Wei Wu soldiers. They were quite strong, and he was caught off guard and ambushed by them, and then he was injured.
If it weren't for his excellent lightness skill, he would have been in deep trouble this time!
Later, he was lucky enough to encounter Nian Duan and his apprentice who were heading to Mirror Lake, and they saved him. However, he did not expect that the minor nobleman would not let it go and actually sent people to capture him.
As a result, Nian Duan and the villagers were implicated and accused of harboring a wanted criminal.
Nian Duan and Bai Yuan chatted about their recent situations and the reasons for their presence here.
Upon learning that Bai Yuan was returning to Taiyi Mountain and had just happened to pass by, Nian Duan couldn't help but look at Duanmu Rong with some emotion.
Could this be fate?
The two of them chatted harmoniously, but Ningyan's situation was somewhat different.
Duanmu Rong and Ningyan stared at each other, the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
At this moment, they both knew how the other person and Bai Yuan met.
Ningyan and Jimo Huaxue looked Duanmu Rong up and down and found that she was also a beauty in the making. In a few years, she would be a rare beauty!
That's not all; the key point is the small peach wood sword they saw in Duanmu Rong's hand today.
Having been with Bai Yuan for so long, they knew that the small peach wood sword was carved from the same material as Bai Yuan's peach blossom sword, making it exceptionally meaningful.
Duanmu Rong looked at her two older sisters, her feelings indescribably complicated.
Unexpectedly, after only a few months apart, Bai Yuan now has two stunningly beautiful women by his side.
This guy has way too many female admirers!
Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered that Bai Yuan's sword was called Peach Blossom. Could there be some connection between them?
Just as she was lost in thought, Nian Duan suddenly said, "It's getting late. We still need to check if Dao Zhi's injuries have stabilized. You should all rest first!"
After saying that, she pulled Duanmu Rong away from there.
However, judging from Duanmu Rong's expression, she was actually a little reluctant to part with it.
Once they left, only Bai Yuan and the other two remained in the room.
"That little girl named Duanmu Rong seems to care about you a lot?"
Ningyan said meaningfully.
Bai Yuan rubbed his forehead: "Don't overthink it. Duanmu Rong's feelings for me are just like a younger sister's dependence on her older brother."
Ningyan and the other woman exchanged a glance and then nodded seriously, but what they were actually thinking was hard to say.
At this moment, Ningyan turned her gaze to the Peach Blossom Sword and narrowed her eyes.
"I never expected the Peach Blossom Sword to have such an effect, being able to give you a warning so you would know that Duanmu Rong was in danger. It truly is a sword with a spirit!"
She emphasized the word "sword with a spirit" when she spoke of it.
Like Duanmu Rong, she also began to doubt the Peach Blossom Sword. Could this sword really bring its owner a continuous stream of romantic luck?
Think about it, Bai Yuan met himself as soon as he came down the mountain, then met Duanmu Rong, went to Jimo City to attend a banquet and brought back Jimo Huaxue, then Xuanxin Pavilion opened, and in the middle of the night, Yin Yang Family's Yan Fei ran over again.
Judging from this, Bai Yuan has already gotten involved with countless beauties in just a few months since he came down from the mountain!
The more Ningyan thought about it, the more she felt there was something wrong with this peach blossom sword!
Peach blossoms, peach blossoms—something just doesn't sound right!
However, Bai Yuan did not understand the meaning behind her words and thought that Ningyan was simply praising the peach blossoms, so he smiled and nodded.
"This is the first time I've encountered this situation. I never expected the Peach Blossom Sword to have such an ability. It's quite a pleasant surprise."
As he spoke, he stroked the peach blossom sword.
It truly lives up to its reputation as a sword crafted from the heartwood of a peach tree; its spirituality is likely related to the peach tree itself.
Seeing that Bai Yuan was still somewhat proud of this, Ningyan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, then pulled Ji Mo Huaxue into the inner room, leaving Bai Yuan completely unaware of what had happened.
Chapter 100 I think I should send you to him tonight.
Unable to figure out what was wrong with Ningyan and the other two, Bai Yuan simply stopped thinking about it and went back to his room to rest.
Throughout the entire process, he showed no intention of making contact with the Mohists.
To be honest, apart from exchanging a few words with Six-Fingered Black Knight when he first arrived, they didn't have much interaction after that.
Six-Fingered Black Knight is currently busy directing the Mohist disciples to clean up Dao Zhi's mess, and has no time to befriend Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan was happy with this arrangement; he didn't want to have too much contact with these idealists from the Mohist school, as they caused far too much trouble.
Although Confucianism and Mohism are now considered the two most prominent schools of thought in the world, Mohism is disliked by rulers, unlike Confucianism, which is highly regarded by rulers of various countries.
Confucianism tends to protect the interests of the nobility, while Mohism is more inclined to protect the interests of the common people and oppose the oppression of the nobility.
Moreover, the Mohists frequently participated in wars between various states, helping Zhao one day, Wei the next, and Yan the day after. They were more fickle than weather vanes, not only gaining no benefits but also offending all the states.
If it were any other school of thought from the Hundred Schools of Thought period, they would have been destroyed by the Seven States long ago.
But who could blame them when the Mohists' mechanical arts were unparalleled? In addition, their wandering Mohist knights, spread throughout the seven kingdoms, made their power truly enormous, second only to the Farmer School in terms of numbers.
Bai Yuan did not actually have any ill feelings towards the Mohists; on the contrary, he respected and admired this group of progressive thinkers.
But respect and admiration mean nothing.
Being one step ahead is genius; being three steps ahead is madness.
Their ideals were lofty, but reality was cruel. This era was destined to be unable to understand their thoughts, and the rulers and nobles would not recognize or use the Mohist doctrines.
Moreover, unlike the official history, the Mohists in this world did not engage in any splits, nor did they include the Qin Mohists who chose to serve as officials in Qin.
All the Mohists in the world regarded the Mohist leader as their head, and they had no goodwill towards the Qin state, which frequently launched wars of aggression, let alone go to the Qin state to serve as officials and help the Qin state invade other countries.
Shaking off these thoughts, Bai Yuan stopped worrying about the Mohists. The Daoists themselves were already embroiled in internal strife, so they had no time to concern themselves with the Mohists.
With nothing else to do, Bai Yuan took a Qi-Nourishing Pill and then sat down to cultivate.
Meanwhile, Ningyan and Jimo Huaxue were whispering in the room, mainly about Bai Yuan's weakness, the Peach Blossom Sword, and Duanmu Rong.
"If you ask me, this guy's luck with women is just too good! Could it be related to his secret weapon, the Peach Blossom Sword?"
"Well... it's hard to say. If Sister Ningyan hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have thought of that."
Ji Mo Huaxue pondered carefully, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
"Right? I wonder how Bai Yuan managed to make such a sword. I wonder how many women he will harm in the future!"
Ningyan pouted slightly and squinted her eyes as she spoke, feeling somewhat displeased.
"Sister Ningyan, all you do is complain. I wonder who threw themselves into your arms so quickly, and you're having a night of passion with him!"
Ji Mo Huaxue covered her mouth and chuckled, teasing her.
"How dare you say such things!"
Hear this
Upon hearing this, Ningyan immediately blushed and reached out to tickle Jimo Huaxue's armpits, making her laugh non-stop. She quickly begged for mercy.
"I was wrong! Dear sister, I was wrong!"
After a while of playing around, both of them blushed, one from embarrassment and the other from laughter.
Seeing that Ningyan still seemed troubled by Bai Yuan's romantic luck, Ji Mo Huaxue took her hand and comforted her:
"Sister Ningyan, you don't need to overthink it. The fact that so many people are interested in Bai Yuan proves his excellence, doesn't it?"
"You always know how to defend him. I think we should send you to him tonight so he can see just how much his dear Huaxue likes him!"
Ningyan pinched Ji Mo Huaxue's cheek and teased her, making her feel a little shy.
"Sister Ningyan, please stop joking with me."
Seeing Ji Mo Huaxue like this, Ningyan couldn't help but sigh for Bai Yuan.
"What kind of luck does Bai Yuan have to meet a woman like you who is so devoted to him?"
Ji Mo Huaxue smiled after hearing this.
"I should be the luckier one to have met him!"
Upon hearing this, Ningyan was slightly taken aback, but fell silent and did not refute her words.
Because she was right, meeting Bai Yuan was not only Ji Mo Hua Xue's good fortune, but also hers.
If it weren't for the accidental assassination of Bai Yuan and the subsequent series of events, she would still be a sword of the Luo Wang organization, a so-called top-tier assassin, living a 007-like, never-ending life, facing endless assassination missions every day, and perhaps dying in a mission one day.
She never dared to dream of a life like this!
Seeing the expression on Ningyan's face, Ji Mo Huaxue knew that Ningyan had the same thoughts as her, or even felt it more deeply.
Because she once lived in darkness, she will cherish the light she has now even more.
In reality, Ningyan wasn't concerned about Bai Yuan's romantic luck; she was only concerned about Bai Yuan himself.
……
In another wooden hut, Nian Duan examined Dao Zhi's injuries and then gave him some instructions.
"Given his current condition, he absolutely cannot use his internal energy carelessly anymore!"
Six-Fingered Black Knight nodded: "I understand. I'll have someone keep an eye on him. Thank you so much this time!"
"No need for thanks. I am a doctor, and it is my duty to treat the sick and save lives."
Nian Duan shook her head slightly, then put away the needles and medicine.
Six-Fingered Black Knight suddenly asked at this moment.
