Achieving the Dao from the Hundred Schools of Thought

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhuang Weiyang almost spat out the wine she was holding.

Prince Di was unaware, but Zhuang Weiyang knew perfectly well! Xi Shi and Fan Li were in love!

In front of Fan Li, Prince Di wanted to see if Xi Shi was beautiful, and this action...

Zhuang Weiyang, the warrior of pure love, cannot agree!

Zhuang Weiyang's series of subtle actions were all observed by Zhong Yue, who was standing to the side.

Zhong Yue snorted coldly, but Zhuang Weiyang didn't hear her. She continued to look at Fan Li and Shi Ying opposite her, wanting to see how they would deal with it.

As Zhuang Weiyang had predicted, Shi Ying immediately spoke:

"The beautiful concubine that my Yue Kingdom will present to the King of Wu is, of course, the most beautiful in the world! Doctor Fan..."

Before Shi Ying could finish speaking, Fan Li stood up, bowed to the prince, and interrupted the crown prince.

"Second Young Master! We have been traveling for days, and Xi Shi looks tired. Even if she is beautiful, she will look less attractive now."

Please allow us to rest for a few days, young master, before we...

Prince Di waved his hand dismissively, forcing Fan Li to swallow his remaining words.

"No need! This beauty is beautiful no matter what! Lord Fan's refusal suggests that this Xi Shi is not worthy of the title!"

If Xi Shi wasn't beautiful enough, then your Yue Kingdom would have committed the crime of deceiving its ruler!

Zhuang Weiyang's expression was strange; she wanted to stop Wang Zidi, but didn't know what reason to give.

This is so unlike pure love!

Fan Li was also caught in a dilemma, not knowing what to do, and could only look to Shi Ying for help.

only……

Shi Ying, with his neck stiff, said:

"Xi Shi's face is, of course, absolutely stunning! Doctor Fan, send someone to summon Xi Shi now!"

Fan Li froze, sighed deeply, and arranged for his entourage to go and invite Xi Shi.

Seeing this, Prince Di nodded in satisfaction and then said to Zhuang Weiyang:

"Wei Yang! This beauty that could sink fish, do you think it's real or fake?"

"Second Young Master, I cannot know either. You know I cannot distinguish between beauty and ugliness!"

As she spoke, Zhuang Weiyang glanced furtively at Zhong Yue and added, "..."

"Second Young Master, I prefer women with a heroic and spirited demeanor! I truly can't distinguish between beauty and ugliness in ordinary pretty girls!"

Zhong Yue, standing to the side, nodded slightly, as if acknowledging Zhuang Weiyang's words, while Wang Zidi, completely oblivious, continued:

"That's such a pity! It's a real shame that Weiyang can't appreciate this stunning beauty!"

However… Wei Yang is right! It might be unfair to judge a woman of such beauty with mortal eyes!

As he spoke, Prince Di fell into deep thought.

A few breaths later, the prince's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands, and exclaimed excitedly:

"So, Weiyang! Didn't you capture two fish demons a few days ago? Fish demons are sentient beings, but they have no blood on them, so they won't disturb the Crown Prince of Yue."

"Why don't you just call over any one of them and let them admire the beauty of Xi Shi, recreating that breathtaking spectacle?"

Zhuang Weiyang's smile faltered, but she was inwardly both amused and exasperated.

If a child is quiet, they must be up to no good.

The second young master has been honest and reliable these days, and hasn't given Zhuang Weiyang any "surprises" in a long time.

For a moment, Zhuang Weiyang almost forgot about Prince Di's true nature.

"Second Young Master, legends are legends..."

"It's settled then!" Prince Di was determined to embarrass Shi Ying, so he clapped his hands and made the decision directly.

"Quickly, summon the fish demon!"

Zhuang Weiyang smiled wryly and accepted the order, instructing her servant to find Zhang Zezhong and bring the smuggler back.

Shi Ying listened to the entire conversation of Prince Di. In order to maintain the dignity of a crown prince, he could only pretend to be calm and occasionally glance at the resourceful Fan Li.

Fan Li simply sighed and waited quietly for Xi Shi to arrive.

After several rounds of drinks, my spirits waned; after five courses of food, my enthusiasm had waned.

Each person in the room had a clever plan, yet both host and guest were filled with joy.

The servant came to the prince's side and said a few words, which brought everyone back to their senses.

Prince Di's eyes lit up, and he urged repeatedly:

"What are you waiting for?! Bring them up here!"

The servant, having received the order, hurried off again.

Zhuang Weiyang turned her head curiously and looked towards the doorway.

As a man, I'm bound to be a little curious about Xi Shi, the most beautiful of the Four Beauties.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Before the person arrived, the sound preceded them. The faint sound of boots stepping on the stone slabs could be heard first.

How could Xi Shi's steps be so steady?!

Zhuang Weiyang's expression remained unchanged, but her curiosity grew even stronger, and even Zhong Yue, who was standing next to her, unconsciously turned her head to look.

A woman dressed in light armor, radiant with confidence, stepped into the hall and looked around at everyone, her eyes full of coquettish charm.

"This girl is clearly a pampered young lady who's never been beaten! Where's the sickly Xi Shi? Could it be that Fan Li has hidden her away?"

Zhuang Weiyang felt a sense of loss. Although the woman was beautiful, she was not beyond the realm of ordinary people.

She can't possibly be ranked among the Four Beauties!

The prince in the hall, being straightforward, said directly:

"Where did this little vixen come from? Is this the beautiful concubine that your Yue Kingdom presented to you?"

With such looks, she's only fit to serve tea and water to my father!

"you!……"

The woman was furious and about to argue when Fan Li immediately spoke up:

"No! Second Young Master, please calm down! This woman is a female general from the Yue Kingdom, ordered to protect Xi Shi closely!"

"Lingyu! Where's Xi Shi?!"

Lingyu rolled her eyes, and under Fan Li's intimidation, reluctantly bowed and said:

"Xi Shi is too slow! And Zuili doesn't allow riding horses or driving carriages! Judging by the time, she should be here soon."

Just then, another series of footsteps came from outside the door.

"Ta-ta-ta—"

The footsteps were crisp and orderly, as if the musicians were using wooden boards as instruments to weave melodies.

The sound reached everyone's ears, and their attention was involuntarily drawn to it. Even the prince at the head of the group forgot to get angry.

A few breaths later, a pale blue color appeared at the doorway.

At this point, the world seemed to have transformed into a traditional Chinese ink painting.

Everything turned black and white, leaving only a pale blue in the world.

Like a blue lotus standing atop a mountain in a masterpiece of black and white landscape painting.

"Xi Shi..."

Zhuang Weiyang murmured, looking at Xi Shi, unconsciously recalling the poem.

A beautiful woman from Yexi, with fair skin and rosy makeup.

A pair of golden-toothed clogs, her feet as white as frost.

Xi Shi's face was like a peach blossom, with a hint of paleness hidden in her pink hue, making people feel pity for her.

Wearing a light blue long dress, like the sunset shining on the blue waves, the woman appeared hazy and beautiful.

As she walked, a pair of gold-toothed clogs appeared and disappeared, their snow-white pieces hidden within her long skirt, sparking the imagination.

"Is it pretty?"

"Beautiful...beautiful. No! This woman possesses cultivation!"

Upon hearing Zhong Yue's question, Zhuang Weiyang immediately awoke, her heart blazing with anger, shutting out the rhythm from her.

"What a beautiful Xi Shi! What a delightful cultivator! At only twenty years old, he's already about to break through to the second realm!"

Zhuang Weiyang looked wary, but couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

If someone can bewitch you for even a moment, they must be someone of similar cultivation level.

If the two of us were to fight, and I, Zhuang Weiyang, were bewitched by this Xi Shi and lost the initiative, wouldn't that be dangerous?

Zhong Yue glanced at Zhuang Weiyang, seeing that he looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, without the slightest hint of appreciation, and nodded almost imperceptibly.

Not bad!

Unbeknownst to Zhuang Weiyang, she had inadvertently received Zhong Yue's praise. She carefully suppressed her inner turmoil and released the rhythm of music.

"With a guarded mind, and by experiencing the methods of music again, one will no longer lose focus."

Zhuang Weiyang nodded.

She's good-looking! Not a supermodel!
