People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

Cao Ze laughed and said, "You're following the leader of the chivalrous sect today, so you must be from the peasant family, right?"

Tian Mi gently brushed her pinkish-purple hair aside and smiled charmingly.

She always knew that no one could ignore her beauty.

"Yes, I am Tian Mi, the Mi of honey."

"She is Tian Guang's niece."

Tian Mi added that, according to the family genealogy, she was indeed Tian Guang's niece in terms of seniority.

However, the Tian family has thousands of members, and as an orphan, she actually has virtually no relationship with Tian Guang, but that doesn't stop her from using his name to inflate her own status.

Otherwise, Zhu Zhong wouldn't have pursued her like a lapdog.

Cao Ze smiled and said, "Miss Tian Mi."

For him, whether Tianmi's honey is real honey or not, he'd have to taste it to know; who knows if it's a scam?

Tian Mi gave a soft "Mmm" and asked, "Is Mr. Cao Ze going home?"

"good."

"Hehe, Mr. Tomorrow will be attending the Hundred Schools of Thought Society, right?"

"nature."

"I wonder what you intend to say, sir?"

Cao Ze joked, "Can I assume you're gathering intelligence for the farmers?"

Tian Mi smiled and said, "Now, who in the Seven Kingdoms doesn't know that Mr. Cao Ze is very knowledgeable? Do you think that Tian Mi would overestimate herself?"

Cao Ze coughed lightly. No wonder Tian Mi was able to get along so well with everyone later on.

If he weren't so wicked and hadn't been so mediocre in martial arts, with a bit more brains and courage, he might have been able to use the Net of Heroes to become the next leader of the Heroes.

"The Hundred Schools of Thought study sessions last from half a month to a month. How to teach, what to teach, and how to teach all depend on the situation on site."

Tian Mi was slightly taken aback, then smiled broadly, "You're quite confident, sir, in improvising."

Cao Ze asked, "Is there anything else, Miss Tian Mi?"

Tian Mi took out an exquisite long-stemmed pipe, took a light puff of smoke, and slowly exhaled.

With seductive eyes, she said, "Mr. Cao Ze, are you in such a hurry to leave? Is Tian Mi so frightening? Or is it that Mr. Cao Ze has a beautiful wife waiting for him at home?"

Cao Ze inadvertently caught a whiff of smoke.

It's not exactly smoke; it's more like burning incense, with a faint, pleasant fragrance that brings a sense of well-being to those who smell it, gradually putting them at ease.

No wonder Tian Mi always carries a pipe with her; such an unconventional woman is very attractive to people who are used to seeing beautiful women.

Cao Ze's evaluation of Tian Mi has reached a new level.

To be able to be so meticulous and showcase one's physical advantages to the fullest extent, it would be a shame not to stand out.

"I was in a hurry at first, but after Miss Tian Mi said that, I'm not so anxious anymore."

Tian Mi toyed with her pipe and chuckled, "Sir, you're quite amusing. How about we go have some drinks together?"

Cao Ze doesn't have that kind of free time.

"That won't be necessary."

Tian Mi paused for a moment, not expecting that the cigarettes she had carefully prepared would have no effect on Cao Ze.

This guy isn't the kind of man who's not interested in women, is he? This is going to be tricky.

"Then Tianmi won't bother you any longer, sir."

"Okay, goodbye."

Seeing that Cao Ze was about to leave on his donkey, Tian Mi took a deep breath and said, "Sir, please wait a moment."

Cao Ze's lips curled slightly. He was still too young. If it were Tian Mi later on, and she had ulterior motives towards him, she would definitely have held back. After all, there would have been many opportunities during the Hundred Schools Academy period.

"Ok?"

Tian Mi smiled gently, "What is your opinion of farmers, sir?"

"The Farmer School reveres the ancient Shennong, with 100,000 disciples and numerous wandering knights and hermits... In the world, apart from the Mohist School, the Farmer School has the largest number of members."

"Then... would you be interested in coming to Daze Mountain, sir? With your talent, one of the six halls of the Farmer's Clan is sure to be yours, and it's not impossible that you could even take over the position of the next leader of the Knights in the future."

Cao Ze asked in surprise, "Isn't it said that the leaders of the Farmer's Clan are all from the Tian family?"

Tian Mi shook her head and smiled: "How could that be? The previous leader of the Xia clan, Xu Xing, was an outsider. That was also the most glorious time for the Nong family."

Cao Ze suddenly smiled: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?"

Tian Mi nodded slightly and said, "Of course, for someone from another family to become the leader of the chivalrous clan, one must first join the Farmer's Clan, second, become a Grandmaster, and third, marry a woman from the Tian family."

She concealed it; only one of the two or three is needed.

He could either become the son-in-law of the Tian family or become a grandmaster.

Most people would choose the third option, as it is the easiest to achieve, which is also the purpose of the Tian clan.

Cao Ze nodded slightly. No wonder Wu Kuang would marry Tian Mi, but the requirement of becoming a Grandmaster was questionable.

In the original novel, Tian Guang did not require Sheng Qi and Wu Kuang to become grandmasters.

But it didn't matter to him.

He wasn't very interested in being a chivalrous leader, but he was quite interested in extracting honey from jars.

Tian Mi took the initiative to open the door and come to him today, and said so much, all she wanted to do was take advantage of him.

If Tian Mi wanted to seduce him, he wouldn't mind playing along and having some honey.

"It's such a pity. I don't know when I'll be able to break through to the Grandmaster level. I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Miss Tian Mi's kindness."

Tian Mi narrowed her beautiful eyes, which were adorned with a beauty mark, and said, "Why must you, sir..."

"Tian Mi!"

Zhu Zhong called out from afar.

Tian Mi glanced at Zhu Zhong, damn it, he ruined her plans.

Cao Ze seized the opportunity and said, "I am honored that Miss Tian Mi thinks so highly of me. Let's discuss this matter later. Please allow me a few more days to think it over. Goodbye."

He pulled hard on the reins, and the donkey brayed once before slowly moving away.

Tian Mixiu clenched her fist tightly for a moment, then slowly relaxed it.

Looking at Zhu Zhong running over, she said, "Didn't I say I wanted to clear my head by myself?"

Zhu Zhong smiled ingratiatingly and said, "I just happened to see it."

"By the way, who was that guy just now?"

It was dark, and he couldn't see Cao Ze's appearance clearly.

Tian Mi said with righteous indignation, "He is Mr. Cao Ze, whom the leader of the chivalrous sect values."

"I was trying to persuade Mr. Cao Ze to join the Farmers' Association, and things were starting to look promising, but you ruined it all!"

Zhu Zhong had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Oh, I see."

"It's alright. Xia Kui just said that he will have a lot of contact with Mr. Cao Ze during the Hundred Schools Society meeting. We'll have plenty of opportunities."

Tian Mi's heart stirred slightly. She knew that the Xia Kui valued Cao Ze, but she didn't expect him to value him this much.

Is it a bit much to be so concerned?

Is there something she doesn't know about?

This reminds us of how, before paying respects to the old leader of the Mohist school, the chivalrous leader left them behind and went to the Qin state alone.

Tian Mi suddenly felt that she might have discovered some incredible secret.

Chapter 118 How could you possibly sleep!

Cao Ze returned to Qingping Residence, intending to go back inside and argue with Jing Ni, but was stopped by Li Wu, who was holding Xiao Yan'er.

"Lady Jingni is cultivating."

Cao Ze asked, "Cultivation?"

Once you reach the level of a half-step grandmaster, simply cultivating is no longer enough to improve your strength.

More importantly, it requires things like experiencing, contemplating, and traveling.

This is why the Luo Wang organization cannot train master-level assassins.

Even Yan Ri himself was only a half-step Grandmaster.

However, even though he is only a half-step Grandmaster, it is not impossible for him to hunt down a Grandmaster by relying on his assassination skills.

Li Wu chuckled and said, "I've gained some insight. Let me take care of the child tonight."

Cao Ze said "Oh," and then suddenly remembered an important question.

Where does he sleep?

Li Wu looked into Cao Ze's eyes and immediately understood what he meant. She said, "Come to my room."

Cao Ze rubbed his hands together; was this a hint for him to make his move?

Li Wu snorted, "Don't overthink it. If you wake Xiao Yan'er up, none of us will have a moment's peace."

Cao Ze immediately understood; as long as he didn't wake them up, that would be fine—he was very experienced at this.

Inside the room, Li Wu stared speechlessly at Cao Ze on the couch.

Cao Ze patted the couch. "What are you standing there for? Come on up."

Li Wu took a deep breath to calm her restless mind.

"This is where I sleep."

Cao Ze casually said, "Qingping Residence is all mine. The place you sleep in is the same place I sleep in."
