Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

On Qingya Mountain, the ancient, clear light still lingers, and the sounds of metal and jade chimes echo.

[Like the most loyal sycophant.]

[Still trying to win back this scumbag who won't even look back.]

You don't want to be a jerk either.

[The value and significance of the sage's jade tablets are something even a brainless black cat understands.]

But even a mediocre student is still somewhat labeled as such.

[If in your later years you awaken a wisdom that is truly extraordinary.]

Therefore, they would certainly not let such an opportunity slip by, and would immerse themselves in the vast ocean of knowledge.

The timing is not right now.

Right now, you are the man it can never have.

[Erecting a monument and inscribing four lines from Zhang Zai's poems caused a stir in the sacred texts of sages.]

[It encourages your thinking to expand.]

[Many new ideas have quietly emerged.]

[A flash of inspiration, a second flash of inspiration, a third flash of inspiration...]

[If you keep making these changes, you feel like you're going to destroy Confucianism in the next simulation.]

[To gather my thoughts, these plans are still too far removed from the current stage.]

We'll plan in more detail later.

[Our current focus remains on the matter of access to the central courtyard.]

[To achieve the goals set at the beginning of this simulation.]

With the matters of the Western Regions settled, it's time to uncover the mystery of the Taiyuan Palace that we witnessed last time.

[Continue to gather intelligence and acquire terms during this period.]

"Let's go, swordsman."

"Where to?"

Upon hearing the address, Chen Zhe instantly forgot his initial shock at the surrounding scene and immediately replied.

["Go south, Suzhou, Canglan City."]

【"good."】

Chen Zhe drove the carriage towards Suzhou.

Wei Qi gazed at Qingya Mountain, his murderous intent, which had been confronting the clear light of the sky, subsiding.

[Follow on horseback.]

[Qingzhou, imbued with righteous spirit, exudes a clear, misty glow that blots out the sky, amidst surging, monstrous waves.]

The Confucian scholar watched your carriage gradually disappear into the distance.

[Even the deepest complexities of the heart and the most profound cultivation of inner strength crumbled.]

[Unable to accept that a sacred artifact, dormant for nearly ten thousand years, had been disturbed by a successor of the Daoist sect.]

What's even more unacceptable is that this person also made statements to humiliate Qingya Academy.

The most unbelievable thing is...

[You actually ignored the invitation from the Sage's Jade Slip, passing by without entering and turning away.]

[Yet the sage's jade slip is still pleading like a sycophant.]

The carriage you are riding in has moved far beyond the borders of Qingzhou.

The gentle glow emanating from the jade tablets of sages gradually faded.

The eyes in the sky and the clear light appearing from all directions all rushed towards Qingya Mountain.

I want to take this opportunity to try out the experiment using the Sage's Jade Slip.

[To be able to glimpse the vast truths of the world behind the door.]

【result.】

[Just moments ago she was fawning over the Sage's Jade Slip, but now she's back to her aloof goddess demeanor.]

[Faced with their spreading influence, the gentle light nurtured by the principles within the book shines forth.]

[The jade tablets of sages and worthies should be avoided at all costs, as if they were something unclean.]

In an instant, it regained its dusty, stone-carved appearance, unchanged for nearly ten thousand years.

The crowd, stamping their feet before the Temple of Sages, looked at each other in bewilderment.

Despite being well-read and possessing a wealth of knowledge, I find myself unable to find the right words to describe my current feelings.

Silence is the essence of Qingya today.

You left so quietly, waving goodbye without taking away a single ray of sunshine.

[Leaving behind only sycophants.]

After leaving Qingzhou, the resonance of the sage's jade slips gradually weakened and eventually ceased.

[You finally witnessed numerous Confucian scholars waiting respectfully before the Temple of the Sages.]

[We humbly request the favor of the sages and saints.]

That humble, bowed posture—where is the lofty integrity of Confucianism?

[A feeling of deep emotion welled up within me.]

Indeed, there will always be moments when people or things become sycophants.

You quickly forgot about the happenings in Qingzhou and stopped paying attention.

As the future leader of the first aristocratic family, Wei Qi had a relatively good understanding of the foundation and current state of Confucianism.

[He was also more deeply moved than anyone else present.]

He rode up to your carriage.

"Mr. Wen..."

You pull back the curtain and lean against the carriage window.

[Under the flickering light of Yu Ci's presence, your handsome and elegant face is bathed in a play of light and shadow.]

Darkness surged around him, rebellion lingered, and an eerie mystery enveloped him.

[It is precisely this thing that is so feared and resisted...]

His respect for you was so profound that, even though he pondered it in his heart, he never uttered those three words.

[It is precisely because of your uniqueness that you have attracted the favor of the sage's jade tablet, imbued with righteous spirit and pure radiance.]

【"What's up?"】

[You noticed Wei Qi's stiff, cold expression, a rare display of emotion, and asked.]

"Mr. Wen...why don't you accept the opportunity presented by the Sage's Jade Slip?"

After organizing his thoughts, Wei Qi was filled with doubt.

[Finally, ask the question that will puzzle everyone the most once the news gets out.]

[Yes, the jade slips of sages impart knowledge and resolve doubts, so why not accept them?]

Your expression is calm, but inwardly you're cursing helplessly.

Is it a matter of whether or not one can accept it?

You sighed softly, "Brother Wei, you don't understand."

Wei Qi paused, but seeing that you had no intention of continuing the explanation, he...

Then I stopped worrying about it.

[To present what you know about the situation.]

"Mr. Wen, the Jade Tablets of Sages are one of the three great treasures of Confucianism, enshrined in the three Confucian academies."

"These are respectively a jade slip, a ruler, and a crown."

"Qingya Academy enshrines the jade tablets of sages and saints."

"It is said that it has remained silent like a stone carving for nearly ten thousand years."

"No matter how brilliant a student is, they cannot be moved."

【"Today..."】

Wei Qi's brows furrowed slightly, his eyes revealing worry.

"Mr. Wen's trip to the central courtyard was already fraught with unknown risks, and with today's events, I'm afraid..."

You understand his concerns.

The central courtyard was the domain of imperial families and Confucian official clans.

You have already challenged imperial authority, and now you've provoked the Confucianists.

[One can imagine the level of attention you will receive when you step into the Imperial Court.]

[Your soft laughter, your casual sigh.]

"It seems that even with my darker complexion, I can't hide my dazzling brilliance."

Wei Qi's eyes looked slightly blank.

Is this what he meant?

You didn't delve deeper into this issue with Wei Qi.

If you put so much thought and tension into everything you do in the human realm, then you're truly exhausted.

[I'll be driven crazy sooner or later.]

You changed the subject, asking, "You're heading south to Canglan City in Suzhou to see an old friend."

"Brother Wei, should we return to the capital first?"

"I'll go with Mr. Wen."

Wei Qi answered without hesitation.

He knows you are mysterious and unpredictable, possess many hidden cards and are a master strategist.

But ultimately, he still did not reach the realm of celestial beings.

Pang Hai remained to guard Yongzhou; when he left, only Yu Ci remained by his side.

[Under the influence of divination and mysterious forces, safety is not a problem.]

[If you want to take any action but lack strong combat power, it will ultimately be inconvenient.]

Just like before.

[You can instill fear in the eyes of the heavens, and you have a backup plan to contend with them.]

But it still can't compare to him directly unleashing his killing intent.

【"good."】

"Then I'll introduce you to a friend."

"A born swordsman."

Wei Qi: "???...???"
