Conceptual melting pot, the fusion of all realms starting from the Qin Dynasty.

"Sister Zi Nu, I've come here today to fulfill the promise I made the day before yesterday. Could we find a quiet room first?"

"Haha~!"

Zi Nu's eyes narrowed to almost slits. She covered her face with her hand, smiled elegantly, and then turned to lead the way: "Little Chen Hao, come with me."

"Ok!"

Chen Hao followed closely behind Zi Nu.

However, what he didn't see was that the purple-clad woman walking in front suddenly turned bright red.

　After regaining her senses, Zi Nu was also startled by her own bold actions.

At this moment, she also realized that after getting close to Chen Hao, her body instinctively lowered its guard against him and she couldn't help but want to get closer to him.

Soon, Zi Nu led Chen Hao to a room on the top floor of Zi Lan Xuan.

Then she knocked on the door and called out:

“Nongyu, Mr. Chen Hao, the owner of Qingpingzhai, has come to fulfill the agreement made the day before yesterday.”

"Mr. Chenhao?"

A gasp of surprise came from inside, and then the door to the room in front of them was quickly pulled open from the inside.

Wow~!

Nongyu, with her bright eyes, white teeth, and charming smile, appeared before the two and bowed, saying, "Mr. Chenhao, have you come to paint portraits of me and Sister Zinu?"

"Of course!"

Chen Hao waved the wooden box in his hand and said with a smile, "I'm a little embarrassed that I've been putting off what I promised you the day before yesterday."

"How can we continue to delay any longer?"

Chapter 041 Wei Zhuang, Disciple of the Ghost Valley School

In a bright and spacious room, Nongyu was kneeling properly beside the zither stand, intently playing a piece of music:

Birdsong echoes in the empty mountains!

Accompanied by ethereal piano music, Chen Hao painted on the other end.

Gradually, Nongyu's innocent eyes, exquisite and elegant appearance, dignified and quiet figure, and the charm she exudes when playing the zither are all depicted in the painting.

As soon as Nongyu finished playing her song, Chenhao stopped playing almost simultaneously.

Standing beside Chen Hao, looking at the figure in the painting that was almost identical to Nongyu's, Zi Nu couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of Mr. Chen Hao, who is famous in Xinzheng for his painting skills, he has actually captured the charm of Nongyu playing the zither in the painting."

"Although there is no sound in the painting, the sound of birds singing in the empty mountains seems to linger in my ears."

"Thank you for the compliment!" Chen Hao smiled modestly and carefully placed the scroll aside. "My painting skills have been improving these past few days, haven't they?"

If Chen Hao's initial painting skills were still supported by his pre-transmigration foundation and extraordinary sensitivity, and were somewhat craftsman-like, then now Chen Hao's painting skills can be considered to have truly reached a high level, and he is able to express the spirit he wants to convey through painting.

of course!

This remarkable progress is thanks to Chen Hao's super brain and a touch of talent.

Nongyu got up and walked over. Looking at herself in the painting, she covered her mouth in surprise.

It was as if they were afraid of disturbing themselves in the painting.

"Next it's your turn, Sister Zi Nu."

Chen Hao tidied up the table and then laid out a new sheet of fine Xuan paper.

"What should I do?" Zi Nu's eyes shone with anticipation. "Should I find something to do like Nong Yu?"

Chen Hao nodded, looking at Zi Nu expectantly:

"Flower arranging, perfumery, tea brewing, sword dancing, graceful dancing..."

"Sister Zi Nu, you can do whatever you like, or anything that showcases your qualities, that's fine too."

Zi Nu pondered for a moment, then walked to the other end, knelt sideways in front of the low table, and slowly began to prepare incense.

Chen Hao, meanwhile, used the Great Sage to continuously capture Zi Nu's every movement, and then designed the best scene by considering factors such as scenery, angles, light, shadow, color, rhythm, and proportion.

After mixing the paints, Chen Hao immediately immersed himself in the proper mindset for painting.

...

An hour later, when Chen Hao finally finished everything and slowly began to frame the painting.

Wei Zhuang, who had been leaning against the corner of the room without saying a word, suddenly spoke coldly: "I went to see the traces of the battle the night before last. Your swordsmanship is very interesting. It seems to be the Yue Maiden Sword, which has been lost in the Yue Kingdom for a long time."

Before they started painting, Wei Zhuang and Chen Hao had already met and introduced themselves to each other.

Chen Hao stopped what he was doing, smiled and said to Wei Zhuang, "Mr. Wei Zhuang, you truly deserve to be a disciple of Guigu! You have excellent eyesight! I am using the Yue Maiden Sword Technique!"

"Although the Yue Kingdom has perished, both the Yue royal family and the remnants of the Yue Kingdom have preserved their traditions well."

"The Yue Maiden Sword Technique?" Zi Nu's eyes revealed a look of reverence. "I've heard that the Yue Maiden Sword Technique is as radiant as the moon and perfectly natural. It's a sword technique that a famous swordsman from the Yue Kingdom learned on his own while playing with a white ape."

"I never imagined I'd see a descendant of the Yue Maiden one day!"

Wei Zhuang's lips curled slightly as he scrutinized Chen Hao for a moment. "Are you a Baiyue person?"

Chen Hao shook his head and got back to work. "I don't even know where I'm from."

"However, Yan Lingji is a genuine Baiyue immigrant, and I have obtained the Yue Nu Sword Technique, so I should be considered half a Baiyue person, right?"

"What brings you all this way to Xinzheng City?" Wei Zhuang stared at Chen Hao with a sharp gaze. "Revenge?"

Chen Hao straightened up and turned to look at Wei Zhuang.

Just as the atmosphere became somewhat tense, Chen Hao finally spoke:

"Revenge? Perhaps Yan Lingji has such thoughts? But isn't this exactly what you want?"

"What do you mean?"

Wei Zhuang frowned.

Just then, Chen Hao said something unrelated, "The Ghost Valley Sect has always only accepted two disciples, one vertical and one horizontal."

"The strategy of the strategists of the Warring States period was to unite many weak states to resist a strong state in order to prevent the strong state from annexing them; while the strategy of the strategists of the Southern Dynasties period was to serve a strong state as a backer, thereby attacking other weak states in order to achieve the goal of annexing and expanding their territory."

At this point, Chen Hao looked at Wei Zhuang with a strange expression:

“What’s strange is that among your generation of disciples, Gai Nie, who is good at the strategy of alliance, went to Qin, the strongest of the seven kingdoms, while Wei Zhuang, who is good at the strategy of alliance, came to Han, the weakest of the seven kingdoms.”

Wei Zhuang ignored Zi Nu and Nong Yu, who were also somewhat curious, and said coldly, "This is none of your business."

Chen Hao shook his head helplessly and continued:

"Although I don't know your specific thoughts, if you want to use South Korea as your base to defeat your senior brother Gai Nie, then the first thing you need to do is to enter the South Korean court."

"However, neither the muddle-headed King Han nor the all-powerful Ji Wuye will allow you, a disciple of Guigu, to disrupt the balance of power in the court."

"So a chaotic Xinzheng city is what you'd rather see, isn't it?"

*Slap slap slap!*

"Mr. Chen Hao is absolutely right." Zi Nu clapped her hands and walked gracefully towards Chen Hao. "Why don't you guess again, Mr. Chen Hao, where will Wei Zhuang start?"

After listening to Chen Hao's eloquent speech, Zi Nu couldn't help but want to test him.

Even Wei Zhuang scrutinized them with his gaze.

Chen Hao smiled modestly, then said meaningfully, "I heard that Han Fei, the Ninth Prince of Korea, is coming back soon."

shock!

Zi Nu's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Could it be that you, Chen Hao, think highly of Han Fei?"

However, to the surprise of Zi Nu and Wei Zhuang, Chen Hao shook his head and said, "Han Fei, who was able to write books such as 'Gu Fen' and 'Wu Du,' was a man of exceptional talent in the state of Han, and he was also the ninth prince of Han."

"But changing South Korea requires enough ambition, courage, and decisiveness."

"However..."

Chen Hao sighed helplessly, "The Han Fei of the rumors doesn't seem like someone with these traits at all."

The light in Zi Nu's purple eyes slowly dimmed; she understood that Chen Hao was right.

"Humph!"

Wei Zhuang snorted coldly, then turned to look out the window, "The current state of Han has no choice but to make changes."

"With the powerful Qin at his side, he either has to change himself and change Han, or he can only cling to his naive ideas and be destroyed along with Han."

Chapter 042 Fire Rain Agate and Nongyu's Background

Watching Wei Zhuang leave in a huff, Chen Hao helplessly shrugged.

"It seems I said something that displeased Mr. Wei Zhuang."

"Ouch!"
