Lu Zhonglian seemed to be quite nostalgic when he recalled the time when Wuming was still in the Confucian school.

Xun Kuang smiled with satisfaction after hearing this: "Wuming's vision is not ordinary, and the people who can be favored by him are definitely not ordinary people."

Hearing this, Lu Zhonglian nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Xun Kuang suddenly thought of something and narrowed his eyes: "Chisongzi suddenly wrote to you, it shouldn't be to inform us of this matter, right?"

"You guessed right. This time, Wuming came back with a Taoist Tianzong disciple."

"Tianzong disciple?"

After hearing this, Xun Kuang nodded slightly and placed another piece on the chessboard.

Taoism often sends people to study with Confucianism, just as Confucianism also often sends people to study with Taoism. Even if the people sent this time are disciples of Tianzong who rarely go out, there is nothing to be surprised about.

But when he saw the look on Lu Zhonglian's face, he realized that this time something seemed different.

"Is there something special about this Tianzong disciple?"

“It’s really special.”

Lu Zhonglian grabbed a chess piece and rubbed it in his hand. While thinking about where to place the piece, he began to introduce it.

"It is said that seventeen years ago, Master Bei Ming picked up a baby outside the mountain gate and named him Bai Yuan. Nine years ago, he officially accepted the baby as his disciple. It is this Bai Yuan who came this time!"

After hearing this, Xunzi found it quite interesting.

"It turned out to be a disciple of Master Beiming, Chisongzi and his younger brother, no wonder he wrote to you personally."

Lu Zhonglian placed another move, a trace of worry appearing on his face.

"According to the date mentioned in the letter, Wuming and the others should have arrived long ago, but now they are nowhere to be seen. I am a little worried that they may have encountered some accidents on the way."

Hearing this, Xunzi disagreed.

"When Junior Brother Wuming left Confucianism to study, he had already entered the Xiantian realm. With his understanding and aptitude, his strength must have improved greatly now. I think your worry is unnecessary."

He knew Wuming very well.

From the fact that he was able to combine the strengths of Confucianism and Taoism to create a top-level mental method, it can be seen that Wuming's comprehension and aptitude are no less than his own.

Xunzi didn't believe that after seven years of traveling and studying, Wuming would still remain at the Xiantian realm. Maybe he had even reached the realm of unity between man and nature!

"I hope so!"

......

At the gate of Sanghai City, Bai Yuan and others rode in a carriage and successfully passed the inspection at the gate.

After nearly half a month's long journey, they finally arrived in Sanghai.

Sitting in the carriage and listening to the street hawking, they found that Qi was really different from other countries.

The people in other countries suffered from the war and rarely saw smiles on their faces. However, since Qi had not experienced war for more than 20 years, the people here had a sense of happiness on their faces that could not be seen elsewhere.

This place is full of the breath of life, the people live and work in peace and contentment and lead a prosperous life. This scene alone makes Bai Yuan feel that the trip is worthwhile.

Xuan Jian and Wei Xianxian couldn't help feeling excited as they looked at the city where they were planning to settle down.

"This is Sanghai, it's really nice!"

After entering the city, Xuan Jian and Wei Xianxian planned to say goodbye to Bai Yuan and others temporarily.

After all, they are not going to Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

"Thank you for your care along the way! We will meet up with you again after we are settled!"

Outside a roadside inn, Xuan Jian bowed to Bai Yuan and others.

"If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to us for help!"

Wuming smiled at Xuan Jian and said

"Hahaha, of course. If we really have difficulties, we won't be polite to you."

After spending half a month together, their relationship became like that of close friends, and Xuan Jian was not a shy person.

After the two sides parted ways, Bai Yuan and others got on the carriage and headed towards Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

Not long after, they arrived at the end of their journey and the carriage stopped at the gate of Xiaoshengxian Manor.

Just as they got off the carriage and were about to ask someone to inform someone, they saw two people dressed as Confucian disciples walking towards them from a distance.

"Eh? Looking at this situation, is there any distinguished guest visiting today? The teacher didn't seem to say anything!"

"Maybe the teacher didn't tell you on purpose. After all, you smell like alcohol. Wouldn't it be rude if you disturbed the distinguished guests?"

Chapter 47 This is not enough sincerity

When Bai Yuan saw the person coming, his eyes suddenly lit up.

I didn't expect to meet two such heavyweights as soon as I arrived.

Han Fei and Li Si!

The former was the ninth prince of the Kingdom of Han, the famous Han Fei in later generations, and the culmination of the Legalists.

The latter rose from a commoner to the position of prime minister of the Qin Empire. His life experience is truly inspiring. Li Si also made great contributions to the unification of the Qin Empire.

It’s a pity that both of them ended up badly.

Now both of them are studying under Xunzi, and are studying in Xiaoshengxianzhuang. From their conversation just now, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is quite good.

Wuming saw how the two were dressed and took the initiative to ask, "Are you disciples of Confucianism?"

When Han Fei and Li Si heard his question, they immediately bowed and introduced themselves.

"I am Han Fei, and this is my junior fellow apprentice Li Si. I wonder why you all came to Xiaoshengxian Manor?"

The two of them looked at Bai Yuan and the others, and couldn't help feeling curious.

Judging from their clothes, the handsome man can be confirmed to be a Taoist disciple, but it is not known whether he is from the Tian Sect or the Ren Sect. Although Wuming who just asked them the question was dressed like a Confucian disciple, his temperament was more like that of a Taoist.

For a moment, Han Fei and Li Si were both a little confused.

"My name is Wuming. Please inform the headmaster."

Wuming didn't care about their reactions and bowed slightly to them.

Hearing this, Han Fei and Li Si seemed a little surprised. They immediately agreed and went in to report to the headmaster.

Both of them just heard it clearly. Wuming directly asked them to notify the "master" instead of asking them to notify "your master." In other words, the other party is also a Confucian disciple, and a disciple of Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

"I've been in Xiaoshengxianzhuang for so many years, but I've never heard of a disciple named Wuming. It's really strange."

Han Fei walked on the road, muttering to himself.

"Brother, I think you should say less. Their identities seem to be extraordinary."

Li Si still heard Han Fei's muttering and quickly reminded him not to talk nonsense.

After asking others and finding out that the headmaster was playing chess with their teacher Xun Kuang in the backyard, the two of them immediately rushed over.

Outside Xiaoshengxian Manor, Wuming discovered that Bai Yuan seemed to have shown an extraordinary interest since the two Confucian disciples appeared just now.

"You seem to care about those two people?"

“I just think it’s interesting.”

Bai Yuan waved his hand. He simply felt that these two people were very interesting.

"Although they look like Confucian disciples when they are dressed, when you asked them just now, they never called themselves Confucian disciples from beginning to end. Especially Han Fei, he looks unruly and has a wine gourd in his hand. He doesn't look like the Confucian disciple I have in mind at all."

After he said that, Wuming couldn't help but smile.

Indeed, many of the people who studied at Xiaoshengxianzhuang were not actually Confucian disciples, but might be from other schools among the Hundred Schools of Thought.

Confucianism believes in teaching everyone without distinction, and is welcoming to most schools of thought, happy for them to send people to study there.

In this process, Confucianism can also learn the strengths of other schools of thought and make up for their weaknesses.

This is what is known as "When three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher."

The few people did not wait too long at the door before they saw the gate of Xiaoshengxianzhuang burst open, and the leaders of Confucianism, Lu Zhonglian and Xun Kuang, came to greet them.

"Master Brother! Brother Xun Kuang!"

Wuming led Lu and saluted the two of them.

"Well, let's go in first!"

Lu Zhonglian nodded slightly and led everyone into Xiaoshengxian Manor.

Xiaoshengxianzhuang is built on the mountain and close to the sea.

Entering from the main gate, what comes into view is a long corridor on the water.

The road winds around, and the surrounding scenery is like spring all year round, with endless views. It is a good place for students to take a walk and chat in their spare time, and it is also an important road to the village.

Walking on this nine-curve corridor and looking at the surrounding scenery, Bai Yuan and others felt as if their souls were cleansed.

As they walked, Lu Zhonglian, the head of the Confucian school, sighed and said, "Just now we were worried whether you had encountered any difficulties, and then we heard the disciples report it. Now we see that you are all safe and sound. It's great!"

Wuming was a little confused after hearing this.

"From what Senior Brother said, it seems like he knew I was coming back a long time ago?"

"Yes, Chi Songzi wrote me a letter and delivered it to me more than a month ago."

Lu Zhonglian nodded and answered their questions.

After hearing this, Bai Yuan couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart.

Could it be that my senior brother was afraid that I would cause trouble in Confucianism, so he came to say hello to the leader of Confucianism in advance?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high.

During the conversation, several people had already moved to the meeting room.

After they sat down, disciples brought them some tea to quench their thirst.

At this time, Lu Zhonglian smiled and looked at Bai Yuan: "I have heard Chisongzi mention you in the letter. Junior Brother Bai Yuan is indeed a handsome man!"

"Thank you for your compliment. I'd like to trouble Master Lu to take care of me during this sudden visit!"

Bai Yuan was polite and bowed slightly to him.

"Hahaha, it's not that sudden."

Lu Zhonglian smiled and shook his head slightly, then he changed the subject.

"I've asked someone to prepare the room for you. Just stay here and relax. We still have something to discuss with Wuming. Please forgive us if we haven't treated you well enough!"

"It's okay, Master Lu, don't worry about it. I just want to go shopping."

Bai Yuan smiled nonchalantly, which was exactly what he wanted. He did not stay to listen to Lu Zhonglian, Xun Kuang and Wuming reminiscing about the past.

He took Ningyan and Lu, bowed to them, and then left the meeting room.

As soon as they came out, they saw Han Fei and Li Si guarding the door.

When the two saw Bai Yuan, they immediately bowed.

"I didn't realize that you were my uncle just now, so I was impolite. I hope you can forgive me!"

After Han Fei and Li Si found the head of the sect and reported the matter, they were criticized by Xunzi on the spot.

From Xunkuang they also learned the identities of Bai Yuan and Wuming. The former was a disciple of Bei Mingzi and a junior fellow of Chisongzi, while the latter was a junior fellow of their teacher Xunkuang.

When they heard the news, they were all shocked.

It doesn't matter if he is nameless, after all, he still looks like a master.

But they really didn't expect that this pretty boy who looked younger than them could actually be their uncle in name!

Seeing the two men trembling with fear, Bai Yuan could guess that it must be Xun Kuang who said something to them.

Apart from Xunzi, he could not think of anyone else who could have frightened these two future great Legalists so much.

Thinking of this, Bai Yuan also felt a little funny.

"Everyone, get up! You guys are calling me uncle, which makes me sound old."

Hearing this, Han Fei and Li Si both laughed awkwardly, but they felt relieved in their hearts.

Judging from this attitude, there shouldn't be any problem.
