Achieving the Dao from the Hundred Schools of Thought

"Sister, brother-in-law! Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll take you to slay the demon!"

Zhong Bai was already staggering from drinking, and Zhuang Weiyang was also quite drunk.

Although my classmate was an oddball, our friendship did not fade with time.

"Sure, sure," Zhuang Weiyang replied, her mind not quite clear, momentarily forgetting about staying away from Zhong Bai.

Soon, Zhuang Weiyang regretted it.

"Clang!"

In the distance, a silvery-white streak of light swept in, piercing the air and eliciting a series of buzzing sounds.

Zhuang Weiyang was still arm in arm with Zhong Bai when she saw the silvery-white light coming towards her, and for a moment she forgot to dodge.

Zhong Bai, however, was different. Upon seeing the flowing light, he instantly activated his inner fire and threw Zhuang Weiyang to the side.

Pfft!

"Sister! Spare my life! I'm your own brother, Zhong Bai!"

Zhong Bai's pleas for mercy brought Zhuang Weiyang back to her senses, and her anger subsided, her drunkenness vanished.

Looking back, Zhuang Weiyang broke out in a cold sweat.

A white streak of light pierced the stone slab. A few breaths later, the light dissipated, leaving only a smooth little hole as proof of its existence.

"The Moon-based magic of the female military general—Moon String!"

The military arts of the Moon are only for female generals to learn, so the identity of the person who came is self-evident.

Zhong Yue!

Zhong Bai, being extremely straightforward, immediately knelt down to greet the female general.

"Welcome, eldest daughter of the Zhong family! Wei Yang, what are you standing there for? Kneel down, all of you!"

Zhuang Weiyang turned her head and looked at Zhong Bai with a question mark on her face.

What? I have to kneel too?

"Zhong Bai, I've told you before, you need to be careful what you say and do when you're out. Otherwise..."

"Sister! Weiyang is one of us, so she's not considered an outsider!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhuang Weiyang stopped in her tracks, unable to stop blaming herself:

How many times has this happened?! Why don't you learn your lesson?! Why do you still want to drink with this bastard?!

Unfortunately, since things had come to this point, Zhuang Weiyang had no choice but to bite the bullet and bow forward.

"My name is Zhuang Weiyang. I request that General Zhong Yue appear before me!"

"Wei Yang, why are you being so distant..."

Zhuang Weiyang kicked Zhong Bai to the ground, her fist salute unchanged, and only then did Zhong Yue appear!

Silver light scattered, and a female general, holding a longbow of flowing light and dressed in a white robe, appeared before Zhuang Weiyang as if bathed in moonlight.

Zhuang Weiyang looked up and saw that the female general was eight feet tall, about the same height as herself; her face was expressionless, as aloof and cold as the bright moon in the sky.

As for her appearance, Zhong Yue has a boyish appearance and is extremely handsome. If she could cover up her protruding chest, she would surely attract the attention of countless young women from powerful clans.

Unfortunately, it's not easy to cover up.

"Zhuang Weiyang, my younger brother sometimes speaks recklessly. As his friend, you naturally need to discipline him! Otherwise, he'll inevitably get into trouble!"

"General Zhong is absolutely right!"

Zhuang Weiyang did not find Zhong Yue's advice offensive at all.

With past mistakes still fresh in my mind, I was definitely careless with the drinks I had today.

And that's how the consequences came about.

Zhuang Weiyang forced a smile, focusing her gaze on Zhong Yue's eyes and brows, trying her best to appear more sincere.

"Zhong Bai is a good man in every way, except that he tends to talk nonsense when he's drunk. I hope General Zhong won't take offense. Wei Yang is devoted to the Great Dao and has absolutely no intention of disrespecting General Zhong. I hope General Zhong will understand!"

The flowing light transformed into a bow in his palm; this Zhong Yueyue-type technique was already above the seventh level, coupled with his Bright Radiance Realm cultivation...

Even ten Zhuang Weiyangs wouldn't be enough for her to fight.

There are another hundred Zhao Xiuwens...

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yue dispersed the light flowing from her hand and remained silent. Just as Zhuang Weiyang was about to take her leave, Zhong Yue moved.

"Thump!"

As Zhong Yue fawned over Zhong Bai, a rare expression appeared on her face, revealing disgust in her eyes and brows, as if the jade statue had come to life. Then, she sighed and swept her arm, kicking Zhong Bai several meters away!

Before Zhong Bai could even let out a scream, he was sent flying backward and crashed into the stone wall of the Second Young Master. His fate was unknown.

Zhong Yue left directly, and then several soldiers who looked like personal guards stepped forward, saluted, and carried Zhong Bai like cargo.

"Lord Zhuang, General Zhong Yue has left, and we will take our leave as well!"

Zhuang Weiyang then came to her senses and felt her legs go weak as she walked back.

"I drank too much today... I can't even stand up."

……

Zhuang Weiyang's residence is right next to the young master's mansion. In the second courtyard, there is a willow tree, surrounded by flowers and plants, sculptures, stone tables and benches, all of which are carefully arranged.

However, Zhuang Weiyang had no interest in appreciating it at all.

I pushed open the door and went straight into sleep.

"I'm going to train hard! Until no one dares to raise their voice in front of me!"

"And another thing! Your legs go weak just looking at me!"

Entering the dream, Zhuang Weiyang conjured a grenade called "Heavenly Collapse" in her hand.

The Heavenly Inclined Technique remained hidden, and Zhuang Weiyang exerted all her strength to control the magic within it—this was a newly developed cultivation method, which was more efficient than the stringing of beads.

As long as no one disturbs them, the sky won't explode, and Zhuang Weiyang will...

"Brother Weiyang, what's wrong?"

"boom!!!"

The Heavenly Collapse erupted instantly in the dream, and Zhuang Weiyang felt everything go black before her eyes.

A few breaths later, everything in the classroom reappeared, and Ying Zheng also recovered at the same time.

Ying Zheng, his face showing a hint of fear, asked, "Brother Weiyang, what was that commotion just now?! Is the power of that spell almost at the limit of the first realm?!"

Zhuang Weiyang gave up practicing the Heavenly Tilt technique and obediently condensed two spheres, one green and one red, which she played with in her hands.

"It's just loud; I'd estimate its power is only around the sixth level. This method isn't easy to practice in reality, but it's easier to use in dreams. What's wrong, Brother Qin? Why are you here so early today?"

Ying Zheng snapped out of his daze after the violent explosion, but when he looked at the jade in Zhuang Weiyang's hand, his eyes showed a hint of apprehension, and he unconsciously moved a little further away.

"Alas, Master hasn't appeared in my dreams for half a month. I have many questions I'd like to ask you. Today I have nothing to do, so I thought I'd come to see if you've appeared in my dreams."

Zhuang Weiyang suddenly realized that she had been working too hard lately and hadn't even noticed that her teacher hadn't appeared for a long time.

"Perhaps something has happened! Master is a great cultivator of the third realm, and people call him Confucius. It's normal for him to cultivate for ten days or half a month."

Ying Zheng nodded and smiled wryly. What bad luck! He could only hope that the Master would appear in his dreams tomorrow.

The two chatted idly, from secrets of the Great Zhou Dynasty to tales of monsters and beasts, from celestial beings to the art of governing a country.

Zhuang Weiyang doesn't have many strengths, but he has an extremely broad knowledge base, and he can chime in on anything Ying Zheng says.

"If you ask me, this pagoda of Li Tianwang is the true father of the Third Prince. If it weren't for this pagoda..."

"What if we don't have this pagoda? Brother Weiyang, tell me quickly!"

Zhuang Weiyang held two pieces of jade in one hand and pointed out the landscape in the air with the other.

"Without this tower, do you think the Third Prince would have pierced Li Jing with his spear! You must know, the Third Prince possesses the Lotus Body, and has already returned his bones to his father!"

"Ah? Is it really true, Brother Weiyang?"

"really!"

"Weiyang, how did you learn of such a secret? The scriptures and records about Nezha are kept in the territory of the Great Zhou clan and are guarded by Li Er, the Keeper of the Archives."

Confucius appeared in the dream classroom at some unknown time.

But that expression... it's somewhat similar to the one I saw when I looked at Zhong Bai.
