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

Qin Shi with stockings, high heels, and fishnet stockings is wonderful, but Qin Shi with stirrups and cannons is not so wonderful, especially when they might be used on him.

"Let's go, let's find Yuki-onna and the others first."

Time flies when things are urgent.

In the blink of an eye, a day has passed.

During this time, Jingni noticed several times that powerful figures were loitering around, but they would disappear after she went over to them.

After being lured into a trap several times, Cao Ze realized that it was intentional on the other party's part.

The other party must know something about him, which confirms that he is definitely a girl from the Yin-Yang School.

Aside from the Yin-Yang School members who had recently entered Qin, he couldn't think of any other powerful women who knew anything about him.

Cao Ze ruled out the Black and White Sisters.

If it were them, they would have already started sending him love letters... no, they would have sent him information and clues, instead of teasing him like this.

So it's obvious that besides the Moon Goddess who dislikes Yan Fei, who else could the Yin Yang School have?

He watched the sky gradually darken again; he knew his time was running out.

Li Ji and Xue Nu have fallen into the hands of the Moon Goddess, and if they're not careful, that little bitch Moon Goddess might cause trouble for them.

Ya Fei and Jing Ni returned from elsewhere.

After a day of searching, the city has been basically searched.

Jingni said slowly, "Only the military tents and the royal palace have not been searched yet."

Cao Ze said, "There are two grandmasters, the old general and the leader of the Mohist school, in the military tent. Even Donghuang Taiyi wouldn't dare to hide there."

Ya Fei clenched her small hands tightly, "Let's take people straight to the Wei King's Palace! They're definitely hiding there!"

Cao Ze rejected Ya Fei's suggestion.

"Your Highness, we mustn't alert the enemy. Continue the search within the city to lull them into a false sense of security. Let's sneak in and search quietly."

Ya Fei paused, then said, "Okay! I'll do as you say!"

This way, her identity can be kept secret, thus avoiding any potential misunderstandings from the royal family.

As a vassal state of Wei, Wei was ten times weaker than Han. Apart from Gongsun Yu, a Grandmaster, there wasn't even a second-rate expert in the palace.

Cao Ze and his two companions easily infiltrated the area.

……

Inside the archives of the Royal Palace, Consort Yan, holding a candle, was searching through all the clues about the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon.

The High Priestess watched the Snow Maiden and Li Ji, who had tried to escape countless times. If it weren't for Lord Dongjun's order, she would have already used her methods to make the two girls obey.

The Moon Goddess approached with elegant steps. "Hey, Senior Sister, haven't you found it yet? I've already bought you a whole day."

A strange light flickered in the dark red eyes of the Great Master of Fate. She greatly admired the Moon Goddess's courage in frequently provoking the Eastern Lord.

If it were her, she would have already succumbed to Lord Dongjun's methods and given up.

Instead of being like the Moon Goddess, who repeatedly fought and failed.

Yan Fei was engrossed in reading the ancient texts she had just found when she was disturbed by the Moon Goddess. She turned her head and gave the Moon Goddess a faint glance, her beautiful eyes gleaming with a pale golden dragon-like aura, which shone like two light bulbs in the dimly lit storage room.

The Moon Goddess let out a muffled groan, her beautiful eyes widening as she looked at Yan Fei with some disbelief.

Yan Fei's spiritual power was actually stronger than hers.

This was almost unacceptable to the Moon Goddess, who had always specialized in Yin-Yang sorcery, astrology, and other arts focused on the spirit and soul.

Yan Fei snorted coldly, withdrew her gaze, and continued to peruse the classics.

There is a record in the book.

The Spring and Autumn Annals, Duke Xi, Year 31: "The state of Wei moved to Diqiu."

Diqiu is present-day Puyang.

This reminded her of the record in "Zuo Zhuan, Duke Zhao, Year 17": "Wei was the territory of Zhuanxu, hence it was called Diqiu."

Diqiu was the capital city ruled by the grandson of the Yellow Emperor.

These records were so commonplace that they weren't worth her much thought.

But what followed led Yanfei to make a deduction.

Twenty miles west of Puyang City, at Xishuipo, lies an ancient tomb dating back to the time of the Yellow Emperor.

It dates back at least two thousand years, to an era before the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

The identity of the tomb's owner is unknown, but a large number of primitive artifacts were discovered in the tomb.

It is suspected to be the tomb of Emperor Zhuanxu.

Yan Fei remembered that the Eastern Emperor Sect Leader had asked her to come and find some kind of artifact related to the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon, which she wanted to present to the King of Qin.

As for what kind of object it was, she didn't know.

But with this one clue, it was enough for her to go and investigate it herself.

"Who goes there!"

The Moon Goddess, who had just been struck down by Yan Fei again, shouted coldly.

Cao Ze led Jing Ni and Ya Fei in.

The Wei King's Palace was very small, only one-fifth the size of the Zhao King's Palace, and they quickly found their way there.

By the dim light, Yan Fei saw Cao Ze's face behind the layers of bookshelves and was slightly taken aback, forgetting to put the books in her hands back.

Cao Ze? What's he doing here?

Is it for the Snow Woman...?

For some reason, she suddenly felt a little envious and a little jealous of the Snow Woman.

Upon seeing the old woman disguised as the Grand Master of Fate, Ya Fei shouted sternly, "Release them!"

Snow Maiden and Li Ji were knocked unconscious by the quick-witted and agile Da Siming.

The Moon Goddess and the High Priestess stood together, their gazes coldly fixed on Cao Ze and the other two.

Cao Ze frowned. It was that same gaze again, the same one that had been trying to seduce him earlier that day. Was it the Moon Goddess?

"This... senior, please release them. We won't stop you from leaving."

As he spoke, he glanced at Jing Ni without leaving a trace.

He didn't think the moon goddess would obediently listen.

Ya Fei noticed that there was another person on the bookshelf over there, staring at her without moving.

"Release them? What a joke!"

The Moon Goddess seemed to sense that Jing Ni was looking for an opportunity to strike, and said to the Grand Master of Fate, "Let's go!"

Yan Fei glanced at the Moon Goddess indifferently.

The Moon Goddess kept it from her, not telling her that Cao Ze had come. She really deserved a beating.

Ya Fei instinctively said, "Stop them!"

Cao Ze didn't expect the Moon Goddess to be so cowardly. She didn't even try to capture him, and just showed off to her senior sister before running away.

Jing Ni had already made her move, but Yan Fei stopped her.

In the blink of an eye, Ya Fei and Cao Ze attacked the Moon Goddess together.

The Moon Goddess didn't even look, and flung out a pale blue mist that enveloped Yan Fei as well.

Hold your breath!

Cao Ze shouted, watching helplessly as the Moon Goddess and another old woman left through the broken window.

His gaze instantly fell on Yan Fei, who was fighting Jing Ni to a standstill.

That's right, the Yin-Yang School's half-step Grandmasters, besides the Moon Goddess, are Yan Fei.

Just as he was about to expose Yan Fei's identity and try to negotiate, he saw Yan Fei use a secret technique and disappear into the room as well.

Jingni and Yafei immediately gave chase.

Cao Ze was about to leave when he suddenly stopped.

When Yanfei came in just now, the old woman she was disguised as seemed to be looking at something.

As the most obsessed force in the martial arts world with the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions, the Yin Yang School clearly has clues related to the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions here.

Knowing that Yan Fei was among the three members of the Yin Yang School, Cao Ze was no longer so nervous.

At least Yanfei won't watch as the Moon Goddess harms Xue Nu and Li Ji.

In Yanfei's heart, Cao still holds a very small place.

Cao Ze walked to the bookshelf where Yan Fei had been sitting and picked up a book that Yan Fei had casually put down to read.

Diqiu? Zhuanxu? Xishuipo? Ancient tomb?

Several terms came into view, and Cao Ze frowned as he fell into a memory.

If I remember correctly, there is a ruin near Xishuipo.

According to scientific analysis, it dates back at least 6,000 years to the present day.

If we convert that to the history of the Qin Dynasty, it would be the ancient Yellow Emperor era.

If he remembers correctly, the ancient tombs excavated contained the earliest, largest, and most lifelike dragon images discovered, which experts hailed as the "Number One Dragon of China."

Even more interestingly, in the ruins, the dragon pattern made of clam shells by the ancient people corresponds precisely to the position of the stars in the sky during the spring equinox.

In other words, this dragon corresponds to the Azure Dragon of the Eastern Seven Mansions.

Thinking of this, Cao Ze's heart pounded.

In modern times, he wouldn't think about it that much.

But in the Qin Dynasty, it was hard not to think about this.

It also has the endorsement of the Yin-Yang School.
