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

"It's easier said than done..." Ying Zheng sighed. "For now, we can only wait and see how things develop."

He knew this uncle quite well.

The only way to bring him down is to legally and personally take control of the government.

Otherwise, even if an opportunity were presented to him, he would be powerless to seize it.

Just like this assassination attempt, even if he knew that Lü Buwei was the mastermind, what could he do? He could only pretend not to know and wait for the right opportunity.

As Cao Ze walked out of Zhangtai Palace, he ran into Cheng Jiao, who had just finished seeing his mother.

"Brother Chengjiao, have you come to see the King?"

Cheng Jiao was in a good mood and said, "Not bad. Brother Cao, what's wrong? Are you leaving?"

Cao Ze said, "His Majesty is resting. If Brother Chengjiao has time, you might as well take me for a walk around Xianyang City and let me choose a place to stay."

Cheng Jiao clapped his hands, "Oh dear, I almost forgot that Brother Cao doesn't have a place to stay yet."

"Therefore, there is a mansion next to the palace, which was bestowed upon me by my elder brother when I was enfeoffed as the Lord of Chang'an. It has been vacant ever since. If Brother Cao is willing, this mansion will be given to you."

Cao Ze smiled and said, "Then I shall respectfully accept your offer."

Cheng Jiao said nonchalantly, "It's just a mansion. If it weren't for Brother Cao, I'd probably be dead in some corner of the world today."

The two chatted as they walked out of the palace.

Yan Lingji drove a donkey cart, carrying Jing Ni and Li Wu, hanging idly behind Cao Ze.

Suddenly, a woman with an exceptionally beautiful face appeared in front of them.

She wore a semi-transparent sky-blue veil with dark leaf patterns, which gently veiled her deep and serene eyes.

Besides being aloof and mysterious, she also possesses an alluring sexiness.

"Ok?"

The Moon Goddess inadvertently glanced at Cao Ze beside Lord Chang'an Chengjiao and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Cao Ze?"

Cao Ze cupped his hands and smiled, "Your Excellency Moon Goddess, it's been a long time. How is Consort Yan?"

The moon goddess's eyes, which had previously seemed indifferent to everything in the world, began to fluctuate violently for some reason.

"My senior sister is... perfectly fine!"

The Moon Goddess practically uttered those words through gritted teeth.

She would never forget that day when her senior sister beat her up because of that bastard Cao Ze.

This was the fifth time her senior had beaten her so badly that she couldn't get out of bed, and it had taken her three whole months to recover.

The culprit behind all of this is Cao Ze!

Cheng Jiao looked at the woman in the blue dress in front of him with a bit of a strange expression.

This woman seems to harbor some... resentment? Anger?

Cao Ze felt confused. What was wrong with his sister-in-law?

After so long, even if we don't say that old friends meeting again would bring tears to our eyes, it's not like we should be grinding our teeth at him, is it?

"Does Your Excellency Moon Goddess have anything else? If not, please step aside."

Cao Ze said somewhat impatiently.

No one would be in a good mood if they were glared at for no reason.

The Moon Goddess suddenly sneered: "What do you mean 'let go'? You helped the enemy defend Puyang, and now you dare to come to Xianyang? Aren't you afraid of being arrested?"

"If you beg me, I might pretend I didn't see you."

Cao Ze was about to say something to Yue Shen, like she should go get treatment for her illness.

Cheng Jiao was displeased and said directly, "What do you mean? You want to arrest Brother Cao? Don't you know who I am!"

Only then did the Moon Goddess notice Cheng Jiao. After thinking carefully, she exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Chang'an, Cheng Jiao?"

Cheng Jiao proudly declared, "It is indeed I, your lord!"

The Moon Goddess laughed heartily, "Cao Ze, I never expected you to actually collude with the notorious criminal Lord Chang'an who betrayed Qin."

Cheng Jiao's face darkened. "Moon Goddess, is it? From the Yin-Yang School? Fine, let's see if you dare to make a move today."

"Ha, do you really think this protector is easily frightened?"

The moon goddess had no scruples.

Not long ago, Lü Buwei personally came to the Yin-Yang School to request elixirs, and His Majesty the Eastern Emperor agreed, refining them together with Xu Fu.

Finally, he refined a pill that could help a half-step Grandmaster break through to the next realm, and gave it to Lü Buwei free of charge.

Although there are many side effects after taking this pill to break through to the Grandmaster level, these problems are not a problem as long as you can break through to the Grandmaster level.

The Yin-Yang School gained Lü Buwei's friendship, which was enough for them to establish a firm foothold in Xianyang without much concern.

Cao Ze looked at his sister-in-law, who was quite arrogant, and wanted to laugh but didn't know how.

He had never seen such an arrogant sister-in-law before.

They deserve a beating, they deserve a beating, they deserve a beating!

Chapter 370 Domestic Violence Moon Goddess

Summer is just beginning, and there's already a hint of heat in the air.

Facing the arrogant Moon Goddess, Cheng Jiao said earnestly to Cao Ze, "Brother Cao, I'm leaving it to you. I'll take care of anything that happens. You guys just go ahead and fight."

He didn't know the Moon God's strength, but he knew that Cao Ze and his group could even defeat a Grandmaster, let alone a Yin Yang School protector.

The Moon Goddess sneered, "Lord Chang'an, do you think Cao Ze alone can protect you?! Today I will capture you and send you to the palace!"

"It is indeed a bit difficult for me to do it alone, but..."

Cao Ze chuckled and snapped his fingers.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Dull footsteps came from behind Cao Ze.

"Roar!"

The peerless ghost, bound by heavy iron chains, roared at the Moon Goddess.

The Moon Goddess made a finger seal, and a light blue protective shield appeared in front of her, blocking the Lion's Roar of the Peerless Ghost.

She sneered, "A mere practitioner of external martial arts dares to be so insolent before me, the protector!"

The Moon Goddess formed a hand seal, and several thick vines instantly sprouted from beneath Wushuang Gui's feet, tightly binding him.

Cao Ze shook his head and chuckled.

These sorcerers who wield magic are truly the nemesis of unparalleled masters like Wushuang Gui.

"Ugh, this older sister really knows how to bully people."

A charming voice accompanied a fiery red figure as she approached Cao Ze's side.

Yan Lingji extended her slender fingers and pointed them to her rosy lips.

With a gentle breath, a wave of fire erupted instantly, the flames resembling dragons and snakes, directly burning the vines summoned by the Moon Goddess.

The Moon Goddess sized up the alluring woman before her. "So you're a strange woman from the Baiyue region. Is your fire control a natural talent?"

Yan Lingji chuckled, "It's innate. Could it be that this lady is trying to recruit me?"

The Moon Goddess replied without hesitation, “That’s right. Our Yin-Yang School is particularly skilled in the arts of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements. I am the Left Protector of the Yin-Yang School, proficient in divination, and ranked among the Great Shamans. If you come with me, you will surely have a place among the future five elders of the Yin-Yang School.”

She saw the potential in Yan Lingji. At such a young age, she already possessed first-rate fire magic skills. Given time, she might become her right-hand woman and replace Da Siming, that traitor.

Yan Lingji breathed sweetly at Cao Ze and smiled charmingly: "Master, are you willing?"

Cao Ze squeezed Yan Lingji's soft hand and laughed, "We shouldn't let the good stuff go to outsiders. What is she? Does she even deserve to have my Yan Lingji?"

Yan Lingji is like a spoiled and arrogant hen.

She raised her delicate chin at the Moon Goddess and said, "Did you hear that? You think you can win over this lady without even looking in the mirror? Dream on! Get lost!"

The Moon Goddess took a deep breath and couldn't help but laugh out loud in exasperation.

"Very well, very well, what a sharp-tongued girl!"

She was surrounded by a pale golden aura, and her sky-blue veil moved without wind, the gold and blue colors intertwining to create an ethereal effect.

"O soul... Dragon's Journey!"

The Moon Goddess, enraged, unleashed a powerful attack.

"Roar!"

Wushuang Gui stepped forward and punched Longyou Zhiqi.

Despite his unparalleled strength and power, Wushuang Guiqi could not break through the Moon Goddess's dragon-swimming energy.

With a clear shout, Yan Lingji unleashed dozens of flames that bound the Moon Goddess's dragon-like energy like long ropes.

The Samadhi True Fire that Cao Ze taught her has now reached a minor level of proficiency, enough for her to use with ease.

The moon goddess's moist lips curved slightly, and she softly shouted, "Break!"

The dragon's energy instantly thickened, directly snapping Yan Lingji's long fire rope.

Yan Lingji's attack was directly broken, and she suffered a backlash, leaving a trace of blood at the corner of her bright red mouth.

The Moon Goddess chuckled, "With your strength, you think you can annihilate my Dragon Qi? Naïve, truly naïve!"

Yan Lingji gritted her teeth and said, "Li Xiaowu! How long are you going to keep watching!"

The melodious sound of a flute rose gently, like drops of clear spring water, bringing peace to the mind.

The dragon's energy, blocked by Wushuang Gui and Yan Lingji, slowly dissipated and disappeared amidst the sound of the flute.

Moon Goddess exclaimed in surprise, "A top-tier expert?"
