Achieving the Dao from the Hundred Schools of Thought

When the dance ended, the entire hall fell silent!

Xi Shi reappears, creating a spectacle that makes fish sink!

As expected, Qing Jiu sank to the bottom of the water.

"good!"

As a prince of the country, Prince Di had the protection of his people in his fiefdom, and he was only intoxicated for a moment before he sobered up from Xi Shi's dance and music!

Xi Shi's dance broke the deadlock in the palace.

The tense atmosphere in the hall dissipated completely after the dance ended.

"Guards, take the sacrificial meat to Prince Shiying's residence!"

Send another one to Xi Shi!

The Crown Prince of Ying's face lit up with joy, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up, but he quickly smoothed it out, pretending to be serious as he said:

"Alas, Xi Shi is weary from her journey, and her dance is still somewhat lacking; I'm afraid I've made everyone laugh, haha!"

"Your Highness, you flatter me. The dance of Xi Shi is probably only comparable to that of Chang'e in heaven! Your Highness, please don't be so modest!"

Zhuang Weiyang, however, was different from the others and was even more vigilant.

"In the various states during the Spring and Autumn Period, professions and paths differed. If the people of this world have such skills, what about other professions?"

Be extra careful in your future actions!

Zhuang Weiyang wiped the cold sweat from her brow, picked up the wine cup in front of her, took a small sip, and let her thoughts drift away.

Zhong Yue, who was standing to the side, thought Zhuang Weiyang was engrossed in the dance and suddenly asked:

"What do you think of Xi Shi's dance compared to Chang'e's in the heavens?"

Zhong Yue's question brought Zhuang Weiyang back to her senses.

Why ask this question?

Zhuang Weiyang was a little confused for a moment, and honestly replied:

"It's probably far inferior to Chang'e."

"Why? Isn't Xi Shi beautiful?"

Zhuang Weiyang put down her wine cup and analyzed the situation with a serious expression:

"Chang'e in the sky is the master of the moon. As long as the moon exists, Chang'e will not perish. She is a great being who has attained the fruition of the 'moon'!"

Xi Shi is only at the first level of cultivation; let alone Chang'e, any one of the people in the Moon Palace could easily kill her.

Therefore, Xi Shi is far inferior to Chang'e!

Zhong Yue's beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

"Do you find no beauty in that dance just now? Is the distinction between beauty and ugliness determined solely by strength and weakness?"

Zhuang Weiyang replied with a puzzled look:

"Isn't that right? Didn't Xizi just use music to deceive the enemy, which caused Qing Jiu to sink to the bottom of the water?"

If Chang'e were to dance... not to mention Qing Jiu, even I, Zhuang Weiyang, would sink into the water!

"You..."

"Zhong Yue!"

Lingyu, who was standing in the hall, suddenly spoke up, interrupting Zhong Yue and drawing the attention of everyone present.

Fan Li suddenly felt a headache.

Both Lingyu and Crown Prince Shiying were spoiled in their early years and didn't know their place.

This attack will definitely ruin the harmonious atmosphere we just had!

Fan Li wanted to stop her, but Ling Yu ignored him completely and continued speaking to herself:

"Zhong Yue! Do you still recognize me?!"

Zhong Yue wanted to hear Zhuang Weiyang's opinion on Chang'e, but was suddenly interrupted by Lingyu. She looked displeased and turned to look at Lingyu, who was dressed as a female general.

After looking her up and down several times, Zhong Yue suddenly burst out laughing:

"So it was you!"

"Hmph! Back then, aside from the battle at Zuili, we were evenly matched! Now that my Yue beauty has finished her dance, my Yue general Lingyu would like to have a go at you!"

Lingyu endured for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back anymore.

In the Battle of Zuili, Lingyu's father, Linggufu, first defeated Zhong Muli, and then, amidst a vast army, used a long spear to destroy King Helü of Wu.

With a single blow, Helü was critically injured and died, but Ling Gu Fu also suffered a backlash and soon passed away.

Lingyu had heard about her father's heroic deeds since she was a child and regarded him as a hero of the Yue Kingdom.

Unfortunately, after Fuchai ascended the throne, the Wu state grew stronger day by day. When the war broke out again, the Yue state could hardly resist and was eventually defeated.

Even King Goujian was captured and enslaved!

Whenever Lingyu thought of this, she couldn't sleep at night, hoping that one day she could welcome back the King and wipe away the shame.

Now, upon seeing Zhong Yue—the one who almost killed her on the battlefield back then—Ling Yu's pent-up hatred was like gunpowder meeting a spark, and she could no longer suppress it.

"Zhong Yue! Ling Yu was defeated by you due to a moment of carelessness back then! Do you dare to fight me again?"

Zhong Yue's face lit up with excitement!

Back then, she didn't get a proper fight either!

Zhong Yue raised an eyebrow, her eyes seemingly gleaming as she stared intently at Ling Yu's heart.

A few breaths later, he lost interest again.

Forget it! You're not good enough.

"Zhong Yue!"

"Ahem!" Prince Di looked at Ling Yu, who resembled a fighting cock, and a fleeting look of displeasure crossed his face.

Helü was his grandfather!

Even though the Yue Kingdom had submitted, the hatred wouldn't disappear so quickly.

Lingyu was unaware, but Prince Di knew that Zhong Yue had already broken through to the second realm!

"Zhong Yue, since this female general wants to have a match with you, you should grant her request!"

Since the young master had spoken, Zhong Yue had nothing to say. She immediately stood up and clasped her hands in a fist salute.

"Here you go!"

"Zhong Yue, take this!"

Lingyu drew her soft sword from her waist and impatiently thrust it towards Zhong Yue's face.

"Zheng—"

The soft sword pierced the air, accompanied by the clear chirping of birds.

A flash of white light appeared in the hall, and in an instant, Lingyu was about to attack Zhong Yue.

Zhong Yue remained calm and composed, gathering silvery-white moonlight in her hand.

The lunar magic has been perfected!

"Lingyu, stop!"

Fan Li's true nature was revealed, and the white-clad figure behind him opened his eyes to reveal his true nature.

"Bang!"

Lingyu's body seemed to have been hit hard; the sword's momentum dissipated, and she was sent flying, crashing into the wall of the main hall.

"Pfft!" Blood flowed from Lingyu's mouth, and she was no longer able to fight.

"Second Young Master, please forgive our country's lack of manners! Spare Lingyu's life!"

Fan Li showed no dignity befitting a second-realm cultivator, immediately kneeling down and begging for the prince's forgiveness.

Shi Ying, standing to the side, was embarrassed and about to speak, but was silenced by Fan Li's sharp gaze.

"Alas, it was just a friendly exchange between two generals, but Doctor Fan ruined all their enjoyment."

"What, Doctor Fan, are you trying to bully me just because you're at the second realm of cultivation?"

"That's not the case! Please see this clearly, my lord! The people of Yue have only the heart of submission, and have no intention of rebelling!"

Lingyu did all this to present a sword dance to the Second Young Master!

"It's just that the soldier's murderous aura entered his mind, and he couldn't control himself for a moment. Please forgive him, Second Young Master!"

"Haha!" Prince Di smiled knowingly, looking at Ling Yu, whose mouth was bleeding, and said:

"I've often heard that the women of Yue are skilled in sword dancing, but seeing is believing..."

"Then let General Ling continue his dance!"

"yes!"

Fan Li stood up, walked step by step to Ling Yu, and said softly:

"Lingyu, go and perform a dance!"

"Fan..."

"Go quickly!"

Fan Li's face was grim, his eyes devoid of any expression as he stared directly at Ling Yu.

For some reason, Lingyu, who was never afraid to go to the battlefield in the past, felt a sense of fear at this moment.

With trembling hands, he raised the longsword, barely made it to the center of the hall, and casually brandished it a few times before spitting out another mouthful of blood.

"This dance is terrible, even Yu Yu finds it boring."

Qing Jiu climbed out of the bronze cauldron at some point, crept up to Zhuang Weiyang's side, and shook her head repeatedly as she watched Ling Yu dance with her sword.

"you……

Okay, okay, shut up!

"Will I give you a reward?"

"Shut up!"

In the end, before Lingyu could finish her dance, Prince Di used the excuse that he had just finished a sacrifice and did not want to see blood to let the Yue Kingdom group go back to rest.

However, Shi Ying's expression became even more embarrassed.

His every move lacked the demeanor of a crown prince; he didn't even glance at the swaying Lingyu before walking straight out of the young master's residence.

Fan Li sighed, greeted each of them, used his magic to capture the spirit jade, and helped Xi Shi leave.

Zhuang Weiyang and Zhong Yue exchanged glances, then asked for two more cups of wine before leaving the young master's residence.

After handing the libationer to Zilu, Zhuang Weiyang headed straight back home.

The grand dream of a thousand autumns, is about to begin!

Fan Li's journey to the State of Wu signifies that the grand scheme of enduring hardship and biding one's time has begun.

The game only briefly touches on how Goujian operates and how he seeks revenge.

However, according to players' speculation, it has a lot to do with the Blood Sea.

The Blood Sea Rakshasa has a human form but no humanity.

Now that Zhuang Weiyang's true nature has been established, whether it's due to her personality or for the sake of her path...

They would all inevitably stand on the opposite side of Goujian!

"He endured hardship and bided his time..."

Zhuang Weiyang sighed softly, popped a demon core into her mouth, and went straight into a dream.

In the dream classroom, spells were cast continuously in his hands, transforming into colorful jade stones that swirled in his palms.

After an unknown amount of time, a cloud of smoke drifted in through the window.

The Master has arrived!

The master looked exhausted, and Zhuang Weiyang quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Master, has something happened to the Three Huan families?!"
