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

After all, Jingni had already listened to his explanation of "Journey to the West" and gained a lot, but she still needed to continue to accumulate knowledge and experience if she wanted to break through to the level of a grandmaster.

Yan Fei knelt on the lecture platform, her gaze fixed on Cao Ze, and sighed softly.

The thought of leaving tomorrow and not being able to hear Cao Ze's stories again filled me with a sense of regret.

If only I could stay by Cao Ze's side.

Yan Fei was startled by the thought that had just surfaced.

Suddenly he chuckled and shook his head.

As the Eastern Lord of the Yin-Yang School, and with the Yin-Yang School now in a precarious situation, how could she choose to stay?

The Grand Master of Fate crossed her arms over her chest, her nails painted bright red, and gently tapped her arms.

Her opinion of Cao Ze suddenly changed a lot.

She didn't understand those concepts about feudalism, centralized power, and productivity.

However, from Cao Ze's speech and demeanor, as well as the hundreds of disciples listening attentively, she could tell that he was indeed a man of great talent.

She thought about how she had a very bad impression of Cao Ze because Yan Fei wanted to give her to him.

There was a subtle, complex feeling in the narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes of the Great Master of Fate.

It seems that Cao Ze rejected her outright at the time.

This is even more infuriating...

The black and white sisters kept their brows slightly lowered, afraid that the joy in their eyes would be noticed by Lord Dongjun and the Grand Master of Fate.

They are now truly certain that Cao Ze is indeed capable of rising to the highest ranks of officialdom.

Unfortunately, they cannot immediately surrender to him; they need to first enter Qin and help him transmit intelligence.

The black and white sisters exchanged a furtive glance.

As twins who spent every day practicing the same technique, they could tell each other's feelings at a glance.

It is said that Cao Ze is still unmarried, and as elders of the Yin-Yang School, they are of decent status and it's not like they have no chance...

They all began to think about marrying Cao Ze, which was much better than being his subordinates.

Not far away, on a pavilion, Yafei leaned against the railing and kept knocking on the wooden railing.

I glanced at Cao Ze, who was telling the story of "Journey to the West," and then at Xue Nu and Li Ji, who were listening with great interest.

Ya Fei thought to herself, "Xue'er is shy."

Should she try to arrange a marriage between Cao Ze and Xue Nu as soon as possible, and try to get them married this year?

To avoid any complications later.

If you don't win over a man like that soon, Xue'er will be crying again later.

Meanwhile, in a dense forest far away in the Qin state.

After killing another Mohist who had infiltrated the area with a single palm strike, Donghuang Taiyi, the coat-hanger, said to the Moon Goddess, "Clean up the scene and hurry to Xianyang. We must reach Xianyang before we are surrounded by the Mohists."

The moon goddess rests her hands on her lower abdomen, her expression dignified.

"Master, I suspect that Senior Sister may have connections with the Mohist school?"

Donghuang Taiyi stopped and said, "Speak."

The Moon Goddess said gently, "Master, think about it carefully. When Senior Sister left, she not only took away gold notes worth five thousand gold coins, but also, upon arriving in Handan, before even spending the night there, she had the Six-Fingered Black Knight, the leader of the Mohist School, personally activate the Grand Master's Order to search for the Master with all her might."

"Although it's because of Cao Ze, isn't all of this a bit too coincidental?"

The black robe on Donghuang Taiyi fluttered without wind, and the surrounding world seemed to dim slightly at that moment.

"Moon Goddess, what exactly are you trying to say?"

The Moon Goddess smiled and said, "I wanted to say that Senior Sister has already..."

She woke up with a start, never expecting that with her half-step Grandmaster level, she had almost fallen into Donghuang Taiyi's Soul-Changing Technique.

Fortunately, she had studied this subject extensively, which allowed her to realize the truth instantly.

Donghuang Taiyi said in a detached voice, "This matter should not be mentioned again. We are currently facing an unprecedented upheaval in the Yin-Yang School. I hope that you, my fellow disciples, will prioritize the future of the Yin-Yang School."

Yan Fei was very important to him, as it concerned the legendary Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.

As a descendant of the Ji clan who descended from the ancient Yellow Emperor, Yan Fei's bloodline was the purest he had ever seen. Even Yue Shen was somewhat inferior to her. However, he kept her as a backup in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

It can be said that as long as Yan Fei does not become his enemy, he can tolerate everything Yan Fei does.

Even if she really colluded with the Mo family, so what? He could give her a chance to change.

The Moon Goddess gently bit her lip. From between the lines, she could tell that Donghuang Taiyi valued his senior sister far more than she did.

She couldn't understand why she was the one who had devoted herself to the Yin-Yang School and had studied it the most deeply.

Just because her senior sister is slightly stronger in martial arts, does that mean all the good things should fall on her head?

The Moon Goddess watched Donghuang Taiyi's receding figure, took a deep breath, and finally exhaled slowly.

With a wave of her hand, pale blue clouds filled the surroundings.

The Mohists who had died here began to turn into blood at a visible speed, seeping into the snow.

Even a trace of bright red blood had completely disappeared.

The Moon Goddess thought to herself, "Xu Fu's crafts are quite good, but I wonder if there's anything specifically targeting my senior sister."

The dragon's aura swept in, covering the surrounding snow.

The moon goddess watched the sun gradually set in the west and walked through the snow.

Senior sister, I will surpass you, I definitely will!

Chapter 144 The Assassination Duo, King Qin Walks Around the Pillar

The next morning, Cao Ze rode his snow-covered horse at a leisurely pace toward the outskirts of Handan.

He needs to arrive at Niushou Village by Chenshi (7-9 AM).

Just as Cao Ze was about to leave the city gate, he suddenly saw a crowd gathered at the gate.

Looking out from his horse, he saw dozens of soldiers escorting several stone tablets, each about ten feet tall, into the city, blocking his way out of the city gate.

Because the stone tablet was facing away from him, he did not know the words carved on the other side of the tablet.

But soon he heard people around him whispering about him.

Before he could react, he was identified.

Cao Ze greeted the people around him with a smile.

There was no way around it; he frequently lectured on the "Lecture Room" program, and although most of his lectures were academic, his ability to talk about "Journey to the West" made him a household name in Handan.

"Without enduring the bitter cold, how can the plum blossom exude its fragrant aroma?"

"The edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossom comes from the bitter cold."

"Those who achieve great things in ancient times not only possessed extraordinary talent, but also unwavering perseverance."

"Wow! Isn't that what Mr. Cao Ze said on the Lecture Room yesterday?"

"Hey, what's going on? It's even been carved on a stone tablet?"

"I heard that it was the Crown Prince who ordered that these words be placed on the Hundred Schools Forum for disciples of all schools to study and understand."

"Let's go, let's go take a look."

……

As he stepped out of the city gate, Cao Ze listened to the words carried to his ears on the wind and smiled leisurely.

He hadn't expected that his casual remark of motivational quotes from the old blackboard bulletin would benefit so many people.

As Cao Ze rode his horse through a grove of trees, he suddenly tugged on the reins.

"Your Excellency Dongjun."

Yan Fei and Da Shao Siming, wearing trench coats and white veils, came out.

Cao Ze glanced at the women's attire and his lips twitched slightly.

Good grief, if you're not going to disguise yourself or change your appearance, at least change your clothes.

Those who are supposed to wear high-slit cheongsams will wear high-slit cheongsams, and those who are supposed to wear stockings will not be short of stockings.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were going to a banquet.

"Young Master Cao Ze".

Yan Fei took the bag out of her pocket, revealing a stunningly beautiful face that made even the snow-covered ground pale in comparison.

"We part today, and I don't know when we'll meet again."

Cao Ze smiled and said, "It is fate that brings us together from a thousand miles away. Lord Dongjun, there is no need to be too sentimental."

Yan Fei's beautiful eyes did not look at Cao Ze, but instead gazed wistfully at the sunrise on the horizon.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will remain in Xianyang, the capital of Qin, for the next few years."

With the Yin-Yang School moving to Qin as a whole, its headquarters, Luo Sheng Tang, naturally had to be located in Xianyang.

She paused for a moment and then asked, "Does the gentleman intend to stay in Handan indefinitely?"

Yan Fei withdrew her beautiful eyes from watching the sunrise and quietly looked at Cao Ze.

Qin and Zhao are sworn enemies. If Cao Ze rises to a high position in Zhao, they will likely meet again as enemies.

Cao Ze vaguely understood what Yan Fei wanted to say.

He dismounted, walked up to Yan Fei, glanced at the young master behind her, and said softly, "I told you, we are friends."

A hint of confusion flashed in Yan Fei's eyes as she murmured to herself, "What is a friend?"

Cao Ze glanced at the sky and said, "Perhaps a friend is a confidant."

"Your Excellency Dongjun, it's time to depart."

Yan Fei nodded slightly, and just as she was about to turn around and leave with the young master Si Ming, she suddenly said, "From now on, you can just call me Yan Fei."
