The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

The Qin state revered the virtue of water and the color black; therefore, the dragon of the Qin state was a black dragon.

After Yan Dan revealed this plan, the entire Mo family was in an uproar.

No one expected that Yan Dan, the newly appointed leader of the Mohist school, would prepare to do such a thing so soon after taking office.

However, because Yan Dan had previously attributed the death of the Six-Fingered Black Knight to the Qin state, the entire Mohist school harbored deep hatred for the Qin state. Without the suppression of the Six-Fingered Black Knight, Yan Dan, the new leader, did not conceal his hatred for the Qin state at all.

Therefore, although slaying a dragon is very risky, there are even more risks if it fails.

However, the leaders of the Mohist school eventually agreed.

The Qin state was tyrannical. Since Heaven was blind and allowed the Qin state to harm the people, the Mohists, who advocated universal love and non-aggression, should have eliminated the tyrant and saved the people.

In front of the Mohists, Yan Dan revealed the truth about the Dragon-Slaying Plan.

Only then did the Mohists realize that they were not the only ones dissatisfied with the Qin state; the Agriculturalists were as well.

The farmers have found Yan Dan and are seeking to join forces.

Within the Qin state, there were even people acting as inside agents.

Therefore, slaying the dragon is not as difficult as one might imagine.

For the Mohist school, the first thing they needed to accomplish the task of slaying the dragon was a weapon capable of defeating the enemy in one strike.

Therefore, the Mohists looked at Master Xu.

The Xu family is a family of sword forgers.

Now Madam Xu is old, and the most famous swordsmith of the Mo family is Master Xu.

Only Master Xu is capable of handling this task.

Master Xu was about to agree, but before he could speak, an old voice suddenly rang out, "Let me handle this matter."

"Mother?"

Upon hearing this, Master Xu immediately looked at the speaker.

It was an old woman with white hair; she was his mother.

Madam Xu began, “For many years, I have painstakingly forged a sword in order to surpass your father, but that sword has never been completed.”

"Only today do I understand why that sword has not been forged for so long. It is because that sword needs a suitable time before it can be born."

"It came into this world with a certain responsibility."

"Its duty is... to slay dragons."

Master Xu's expression immediately changed. As a son, how could he not know what kind of sword his mother had been painstakingly trying to forge over the years?

At the same time, he was also very clear about the price that was required to forge this sword.

……

Within the city of Ji.

Besides the Crown Prince's residence, there is also the residence of Lord Yanchun.

In fact, Lord Yanchun's residence was much more luxurious than the Crown Prince's residence.

Over the years, Lord Yanchun's reputation in Ji City has gradually improved.

If Yan Chunjun was once infamous for his ruthlessness, enough to stop a child from crying, then in recent years he has become charitable, building bridges and roads, earning a great reputation. No one knows what Yan Chunjun has gone through or why he has changed so much.

But for the people of Jicheng, this is the kind of Yanchun Jun they love.

While Yan Dan was heading to the Mechanized City, Jiang Chuan arrived at the residence of Lord Yan Chun, where he met two old friends.

"Xiao Gao, and Snow Maiden, it's been a long time."

Gao Jianli is now the most trusted retainer of Lord Yanchun.

Snow Maiden, formerly the most famous dancer of Feixue Pavilion, 497 was the top courtesan of Feixue Pavilion.

Because he caught the eye of Lord Yanchun, he was able to enter Lord Yanchun's residence.

However, it seems that Lord Yanchun does not forbid Xue Nu from dancing, so every month Xue Nu would return to Feixue Pavilion to perform a newly choreographed dance.

Apart from that, Yuki-onna spent most of her time living in the residence of Lord Yanchun.

This saves a lot of trouble.

With Yan Chunjun as her backer, virtually no one dared to covet her, even though she was incredibly beautiful.

Upon hearing the nickname "Little Gao," Gao Jianli raised an eyebrow. He didn't quite like the nickname, but since it was the person in front of him speaking, he ultimately didn't object.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

He greeted the man in front of him.

The Snow Maiden's gaze also fell on the man who had arrived, and she asked with some curiosity, "What brings you to the Yan Kingdom?"

She didn't know where Jiang Chuan was from, but a long time had indeed passed since he had done so many things in Yan Chun Jun's mansion years ago.

Jiang Chuan explained, "In fact, I have been in the Yan Kingdom all this time."

"At the same time, I've also heard a little about your affairs."

Chapter 331 A Warning to the Snow Woman

Jiang Chuan spoke eloquently, first looking at Gao Jianli.

"Although only a few years have passed, Lord Yanchun's reputation in the Yan Kingdom has undergone a tremendous change. He has gone from being a notorious villain to a universally praised good man. Xiao Gao, you have done a good job."

Jiang Chuan sincerely praised Gao Jianli.

On that day, he used magic to change Yan Chunjun's perception, making Gao Jianli the most trusted person in Yan Chunjun's life. Yan Chunjun would adopt some of Gao Jianli's suggestions. At the same time, he also used this as an excuse to persuade Gao Jianli to stay in Yan Chunjun's residence and help Yan Chunjun do good deeds.

Although it was Yan Chunjun who ultimately became famous, Gao Jianli was an unknown figure.

But at the moment, Gao Jianli seems to be enjoying this very much.

Although he had no fame, he did indeed help the people of Yan.

Jiang Chuan thought so, but Gao Jianli had a different feeling.

In the past, due to persecution by the powerful, Gao Jianli had always hidden himself among the common people, while also frequently doing good deeds and helping the masses. It was only after Yan Chunjun's perception was changed and Yan Chunjun began to use his powerful influence to do good deeds that Gao Jianli realized his own weakness.

Power can harm people, or it can help them.

The key is knowing how to use it.

There are countless examples like Yan Chunjun, and countless people have benefited from them.

Realizing this, Gao Jianli felt no joy, but instead grew increasingly resentful, harboring resentment towards many powerful figures and officials in the Yan court.

They didn't sacrifice anything, and they were already living better lives than ordinary people, so why did they actively persecute those at the bottom of society?

One Lord Yanchun cannot change the state of Yan.

The accumulated problems of the Yan state were not solely due to the tyranny of Lord Yanchun.

From emperors to nobles and ministers, all they cared about was themselves; they never saw the suffering of ordinary people.

In the past, Gao Jianli had always been studying music at the bottom of society. He was aware of the hardships of the lower classes, but he did not understand why they were suffering. It was not until these past few years, when he had been following Yan Chunjun, that he was able to rise to a higher position and see more of the world because of Yan Chunjun's high position and power. Only then did he understand these principles.

Unfortunately, even if you understand, there's nothing you can do.

Unless the person in front of us can change everyone's perception.

But how could such a thing be done?

Even in the past few years, he has faced pressure while guiding Yan Chunjun towards goodness.

Yan Chunjun's virtuous actions infringed upon the interests of many powerful and influential people. These people dared not offend Yan Chunjun, and seeing that he was Yan Chunjun's confidant, they assumed that Yan Chunjun's changes were related to him, and there were many instances of them sending people to assassinate him.

If Gao Jianli hadn't possessed some skill, he would have been dead long ago.

It could be said that he was under a lot of pressure while staying in Yan Chun Jun's residence.

Therefore, after hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Gao Jianli did not feel smug at all. On the contrary, he had a solemn expression on his face.

He calmly replied to Jiang Chuan, "Mr. Jiang, you're too kind."

Jiang Chuan then looked at Xue Nu, "If it's not strange that Xiao Gao stayed in Yan Chun Jun's residence, then what's the matter with you, Miss Xue Nu?"

"Why didn't you go back to Feixue Pavilion, but instead came here to stay?"

The Snow Woman's lips curled up slightly, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at Jiang Chuan. "Mr. Jiang really cares about me; he actually still cares about these things concerning me."

Jiang Chuan met Xue Nu's gaze without the slightest sign of nervousness and smiled, "A beauty like Xue Nu is unforgettable, so of course I have to take extra care of her."

The Snow Maiden said softly, "If someone else asked me these questions, I would naturally disdain to answer them, but if it is Mr. Jiang, then I am willing to give them a reply."

"Then I should feel honored."

Jiang Chuan said something.

Immediately, Xue Nu explained why she was living in Yan Chun Jun's mansion: "In this difficult world, I am like a piece of duckweed on the water, drifting with the current, unable to control my own destiny."

"Feixue Pavilion was a place given to me by Crown Prince Yan Dan of Yan after he accepted me. However, even such a place could not escape the covetousness of Lord Yanchun."

"What I ask for is not much, just a place to stay."

“Although Lord Yanchun was notorious in the past, he has now turned to good because of you. And here I live a life of luxury, he is my greatest support. As long as he exists, no one will dare to covet me. So why shouldn’t I live here?”
