During the Qin Dynasty, he brought chaos to the seven kingdoms.

Confucius said: "To know what you know, and to know what you don't know, that is true knowledge."

"Yan Lu, what does that mean?"

As the sun began to set, inside the school, a young man dressed in a blue Confucian robe and wearing a Confucian hat stood with one hand behind his back and the other holding a bamboo slip inscribed with the Analects of Confucius, asking questions as usual before the end of the school day.

Yan Lu was sturdy and had a robust, tiger-like face.

He stood up, proud and arrogant, and said, "You should know what you're supposed to know, and you shouldn't know what you're not supposed to know, understand?"

"Hahaha……"

The air inside the school was filled with the joyful laughter of children.

Zihan's face flushed red, and the veins on her forehead bulged: "Who taught you that?!"

"It's Boss Cao."

Yan Lu righteously betrayed Cao Yuan and then dealt Zi Han another blow.

"Boss Cao's talk was much more interesting than yours, Master. I've remembered it all."

Zihan was furious and shouted, "Cao Yuan! You really are a traitorous Cao!"

"Huh? Brother Zihan, are you calling me?"

Cao Yuan peeked out of the classroom window.

When he arrived at the school, he found Zihan teaching a class, so he simply waited outside the classroom. He only showed himself when he heard Zihan calling him.

"Snapped!"

A scroll of "speech" landed squarely on Cao Yuan's head, making him wince in pain.

Not having any training is a disadvantage; not only can he not defeat Jing Ni and Li Wu, but he can't even dodge the "hidden weapons" of the novice Zi Han.

Zihan walked out of the hall with a furious expression, blowing his beard and glaring at her.

A group of children peered out the window and shouted, "Boss Cao, what does 'Since we're here, let's make the best of it' mean?"

"Since we're here, let's bury him here."

Yan Lu, who often sought out Cao Yuan to listen to jokes, exclaimed.

Cao Yuan chuckled, rubbing his head, and said to Zi Han with a smile, "Look at these rascals, how much they love to study."

"Cao Yuan! What are you doing here!"

Zihan looked annoyed.

I kindly saved him and we became friends, but this guy just tries so hard to hide his true abilities.

The question that Senior Brother Fu Nian set for himself was whether human nature is inherently good or inherently evil.

He finally saw some progress with Cao Yuan, but no matter how hard he tried, Cao Yuan remained silent, implying that he wanted Cao Yuan to teach him the mental techniques of Confucian cultivation.

But this fellow doesn't want to become a Confucian disciple, so can he be taught?

Say it again!

You're a body with a completely depleted spiritual energy, what kind of cultivation are you talking about!

But this guy just wouldn't believe it and insisted on trying it out!

Cao Yuan coughed lightly and said slowly, "Brother Zihan, I know you're in a hurry, but please don't rush."

"Brother, I really didn't mean to stall for time. It's just that this matter concerns scholarship, so I need to be cautious and have time to think it over. That's why I've kept quiet."

Zihan's expression softened, and he waved his hand, dismissing the group of boys, all under ten years old, from school early.

"Goodbye, Boss Cao! I'll come see you again tomorrow!"

Yan Lu was the first to run out of the school, greeted everyone, and then ran off happily.

Cao Yuan saw Yan Lu's disappearing figure and suddenly seemed to think of something, but there was always a barrier between them, and he couldn't quite grasp it.

"Come on, let's go to my room and talk in detail."

"That mental cultivation technique..."

Cao Yuan spoke casually without thinking, his mind focused on Yan Lu, vaguely grasping something.

Zihan roared, "You're a being with a 'Spirit-Severing Body,' what kind of cultivation methods are you thinking of? Giving you all the cultivation techniques from every school of thought wouldn't do you any good!"

Ok?

Cao Yuan suddenly jolted awake, his face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Oh no!"

He remembered.

In the original novel, Jing Ni was ordered by Yan Ri to hunt down the nameless swordsman He Yan Lu, firstly for the Han Guang sword, and secondly for a mysterious box.

Just now, Jingni found him and asked him to open a box...

Damn!

Qin Shi, who suffers from osteoporosis, had been off-season for so long that he only just remembered!

Zihan was startled by Cao Yuan and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Cao Yuan grabbed Zihan's arm. "Let's go to Yan Lu's house."

"Why would you go to his house?"

Zihan's eyes flickered slightly. Could it be that Cao Yuan knew the secret that the Yan family was the Jiang family who changed their names and surnames to avoid disaster?

Cao Yuan's face was ashen, and he made up an excuse: "This kid took my things!"

"This isn't normal... Oh my god, wait for me!"

Zihan mimicked Cao Yuan's old quirk and quickly caught up with Cao Yuan as he ran.

……

The sun is setting in the west, and dusk is falling.

Linzi, East City.

The once bustling streets were now deathly silent, as if a blood-red curtain had been cast over everything.

Yan Lu stood blankly in front of his own house gate.

Dozens of men in black, like ghosts, relentlessly reaped the lives of the Yan family members, staining the ground red with blood.

A man dressed in Qin army armor and wearing a black iron mask suddenly appeared behind Yan Lu and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Isn't the withering of life beautiful?"

Overwhelmed by immense fear and the shock of losing a loved one, Yan Lu could hardly breathe, her mind going completely blank.

Seeing this scene from afar, Cao Yuan clenched his fists, suppressing the urge to step forward.

Not to mention Yan Ri, the leader of Luo Wang, any Luo Wang assassin could kill him with a single sword strike!

The food itself is the original sin!

"Brother Cao, calm down."

Zihan said quickly, "These are all assassins from the Luo Wang organization. Don't move around here; I'll go get reinforcements."

There are many Confucian scholars in Qiwang City, and Senior Brother Fu Nian has also arrived in Linzi.

Cao Yuan took a deep breath, his desire to cultivate growing stronger. If he were strong enough, why would he be powerless, stuck in place, and only able to rely on others?

but!

As a modern person, the presence of a spiritless body completely restricted him.

If he hadn't harbored a sliver of hope and wanted to try out a high-level breathing technique, he would have given up long ago.

"No need to go..."

Cao Yuan pulled Zihan aside and pointed to the city guards in armor at the alley entrance. It was clear that a high-ranking official in Qi had colluded with the Luo Wang (a powerful organization).

Zihan's face was gloomy, her fingers were cold, and she gritted her teeth and took out a Fire Meteor, intending to make a scene and try to rescue Yan Lu.

"Wait a minute."

Cao Yuan stopped Zihan.

He saw a man, a man holding only the hilt of a sword, walking out of the Yan family mansion, with Luo Wang assassins lying on the ground all along the way.

"Who is he?" Zihan asked.

"nameless."

"He's the Sword Saint, Nameless?!"

Zihan was quite surprised. He had heard about it from his senior brother Fu Nian, who seemed to have a close relationship with Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

Moreover, the reason why Senior Brother Fu Nian came to Linzi was to visit Wuming.

Cao Yuan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

In the original novel, Yan Lu did not die but was rescued by Wuming, which led to her being hunted down by Jing Ni later.

It seems Yan Lu is alright, but where is Jing Ni now...?

"Nameless, are you going to become an enemy of the Net?!"

Yan Ri said with a mixture of apprehension and threat, "The martial world reveres you as the Sword Saint. Do you truly believe you are the Sword Saint?"

Without uttering a word, the nameless swordsman seemed to teleport, traversing three zhang in mid-air to rescue Yan Lu from Yan Ri's grasp, and then vanished from the spot in a few steps.

Yan Ri felt a chill run down his spine.

Although both are grandmasters, Wuming has clearly reached the pinnacle of this realm.

"Leader! Found him!"

A member of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) stood before Yan Ri, holding a bronze treasure box in both hands.

Yan Ri stroked the treasure box and sneered.

If he could open the bronze treasure box and obtain the legendary power of the Azure Dragon, everything in the world would be his!

Even if he wanted to be the King of Qin!

When Cao Yuan saw Yan Ri obtain the bronze treasure box, his pupils contracted.

I'm going to be in trouble...

Suddenly, Cao Yuan's gaze fixed on the bronze box narrowed slightly.

Bronze Treasure Box, the Secret of the Azure Dragon, the Body of Absolute Spirit...
