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

Li Wu spat and walked up to Cao Ze, looking down at him as he lay flat on the ground.

"Who said Qingping Residence is yours? I'm the one who spent the money, and the deed is in my name!"

Cao Ze coughed lightly, "Don't worry about it so much~"

Li Wu sat on the couch and placed Xiao Yan'er in the middle of it.

"Let's not touch each other tonight!"

Cao Ze gently pinched his daughter's soft cheek and said, "Do as you please."

Li Wu pursed her red lips; she wasn't a three-year-old child.

She knew Cao Ze had that intention, and Cao Ze also knew she had that intention.

It's fine under normal circumstances, but when you're suddenly in the same room, it's hard not to overthink things.

If Xiao Yan'er weren't here, she could relax a bit and consider herself his concubine ahead of time.

but now……

The two lay down at night, separated by Xiaoyan'er.

Compared to Cao Ze, who quickly fell asleep on the edge of the bed, Li Wu, who was sleeping inside, stared blankly at the ceiling with wide eyes.

This is not what she expected.

It wasn't that Cao Ze should have touched her inappropriately; she half-heartedly resisted, and then...

Li Wu turned her head to look at Cao Ze, who was snoring slightly, and really wanted to shake him up and ask him a good question.

How can you sleep?

At this time, can you still fall asleep?

Am I not pretty enough, or are you not a man?

Screw your sleep, get up and party!

Li Wu didn't know how long she had been roaring in her heart before she finally fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Li Wu, still half asleep, stared with her cat-like eyes and hurriedly picked up the crying Xiao Yan'er to go find Jing Ni to feed her.

After looking around, I couldn't find Cao Ze anywhere.

At this moment, Cao Ze was leisurely heading to the Hundred Schools Forum.

With Xiao Yan'er around last night, and today being the first day of the Hundred Schools Academy, it wasn't convenient for him to perform, so he gave Li Wu a good lesson.

He's very curious now, and he doesn't know what Zhao Jia is offering as a prize.

When asked privately, Yuki-onna wouldn't say, only that they were a good match.

Inside Qingping Residence, Jingni fed Xiaoyan'er with something that Cao Ze often played with.

He looked at Li Wu, who had a melancholy expression, with some oddity.

"Li Wu, didn't you get enough rest?"

Li Wu said with a mournful face, "Lord Jingni, I was wrong, I shouldn't have been so reserved!"

"I should have taken him down last night and ridden him around like a tyrant!"

"what?"

Jingni exclaimed softly, "Li Wu, you..."

Li Wu sighed, "I should learn from Lady Jing Ni. You have to take the initiative to win over a man like that. Sigh..."

Jingni hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don't think I took much initiative, so let's just leave it at that..."

Li Wu sniffled, feeling a pang of sadness... Her life was truly unfortunate.

Jingni felt a little sorry for Li Wu and comforted her, saying, "If you want, I'll create an opportunity for you."

Li Wu felt both shy and excited.

"Lady Jingni! From now on, you're my sister! Tell me, what should we do?"

Jingni thought for a moment, "Why don't you just go ahead and do it?"

“If he takes off his clothes inside the house, he definitely won’t be able to resist.”

"Ah, this..." Li Wu covered her face, "Let me think about it."

When Cao Ze arrived at the Lecture Room, Zhao Jia put down what he was doing and personally came over to greet him, saying, "Mr. Cao Ze."

"Your Highness, are we preparing to begin?"

Zhao Jia smiled and said, "Not yet, sir. Please come up to the podium first."

When Cao Ze arrived at the podium, he was quite surprised to see two familiar faces.

Aren't you afraid of being killed by the Mohists?

The black-and-white sisters greeted Cao Ze with worried expressions, "Mr. Cao Ze."

Cao Ze nodded and asked in a low voice, "You haven't left Handan?"

Shao Siming said in white, "I dare not leave."

"No, we're not leaving. You guys should hide."

Having finally managed to plant two spies in the Yin-Yang School, Cao Ze really didn't want the Black and White Sisters to die; it would be such a waste.

Shao Siming (Black Path): "It was the cult leader who asked us to participate in this academic conference."

Cao Ze paused, then asked, "Why?"

Bai whispered, "The Yin-Yang School is infiltrating Qin. The leader wants us to attract attention openly."

Cao Ze almost burst out laughing.

"Just the two of you? Are you sure you weren't abandoned by the Yin Yang School?"

The gangster said, "I don't know. The leader said that Lord Dongjun and Lord Yueshen would be coming, but I don't know if it's true or not."

This is also the reason for the sisters' worries.

If Lord Dongjun and Lord Yueshen were to arrive, at least there would be some protection.

If it weren't for...

The black and white sisters exchanged a glance and said to Cao Ze, "Please, sir, show us the way."

Cao Ze frowned slightly and pondered, "Don't rush. Donghuang Taiyi wouldn't play you for a fool. Just stay put."

"Don't leave the city during this time. If anything unexpected happens, I will step in to save your lives."

The black and white sisters said gratefully, "Thank you, sir."

Cao Ze smiled faintly. It seemed that the Black and White Sisters had completely lost their sense of belonging to the Yin-Yang School and had instead become much closer to him.

That's good. It will be easier to recruit them then; just a snap of the fingers will do.

As for whether the Black and White Sisters will be sacrificed by the Yin-Yang School, considering the situation in the original work where Shao Siming Zi killed the Black and White Sisters, he believes that they will not, and Donghuang Taiyi would not be that stupid.

It's more likely that what the Black and White Sisters said is true.

Donghuang Taiyi planned to take advantage of the Hundred Schools of Thought meeting to send Yanfei and Yueshen over to attract attention, while he himself would lead the entire Yin-Yang School to sneak into Qin.

Cao Ze sat down at his wooden desk, and soon representatives from various families took to the podium.

When the leader of the Mohist school, Six-Fingered Black Knight, saw the Black and White Sisters, he snorted coldly.

He sat down with Old Man Ban at the wooden table opposite the Yin-Yang Master.

The head of the medical school, Nian Duan, then led Duanmu Rong to the podium. He glanced at the Black and White Sisters briefly before sitting down next to the Mo family.

Tian Guang, the chivalrous leader of the peasant family, came up with Tian Mi and Zhu Zhong.

He didn't have any hostility towards the Yin-Yang School, but since the old leader of the Mohist School had just died and the current leader of the Mohist School was also present, he took the initiative to sit next to the Medical School and draw a line between himself and the Yin-Yang School.

Tian Mi looked at Cao Ze and met his eyes. They exchanged a glance, and Tian Mi gave a playful smile.

Cao Ze thought to himself, "If I had known I would arrive later, I wouldn't have sat next to the Yin Yang School."

The Black and White Sisters, who were openly antagonized by the group of bigwigs, felt a surge of tension.

They glanced subconsciously at Cao Ze sitting next to them, which reassured them a little.

Chapter 119 Struck by Lightning

Prince Jia walked steadily onto the podium, accompanied by Guo Kai.

"I am deeply grateful to all the masters of the Hundred Schools for traveling so far to participate in this Hundred Schools Conference. On behalf of my father, I thank you."

Zhao Jia continued speaking, revealing the purpose of this Hundred Schools of Thought meeting.

The discussion refuted the Qin state's theory of righteous warfare and explored strategies for strengthening the state.

Fu Nian, the senior disciple of Xiaoshengxianzhuang, had a great liking for Zhao Jia. It was truly a blessing for the Zhao Kingdom to have such a successor.

However, thinking of his own martial uncle's support for the Qin state, Fu Nian shook his head slightly, unable to criticize him.

After Zhao Jia finished speaking, he said, "This training session will last for half a month. The most outstanding participant will receive a famous sword from the sword manual."

After saying that, Zhao Jia tore off the red cloth covering the box.

He took out a dark, sharp sword from the sword box.

"Do any of you recognize this sword?"

Cao Ze squinted at him, but didn't recognize him at first.

"Could this sword be the Zhanlu Sword?"

The most composed of them all, Fu Nian, was the first to speak.

Before he comprehended the Holy King Sword Dao, he had also considered the Path of Benevolence.

He was naturally familiar with Zhanlu, a legendary sword of benevolence.

"Mr. Fu Nian is right."

"The creation of this sword originated from the obsession of the master swordsmith Ou Yezi, who wanted to forge an indestructible weapon that carried no killing intent whatsoever."
