Chapter 114: The Yin-Yang School, People of Petty Theft!

~7 min read 1,319 words

Su Xuan did not finish watching Ying Zheng's capping ceremony, mainly because the process of the capping ceremony was too cumbersome, and he was not prepared to be capped, so there was indeed no need to watch the whole process.

After the capping ceremony was halfway through, he quietly left.

Except for Ganie, who had always paid attention to Su Xuan, no one even noticed that Su Xuan had left halfway.

Returning to the familiar rooftop, Yan Yan Lingji was still waiting there quietly. The fine rain, soft as cream, fell from the sky, yet Yan Yan Lingji had no intention of avoiding it. With such a drizzle, she only needed to circulate her internal energy slightly and manifest flames to melt all the rainwater on her body.

"That Yin-Yang School Eastern Sovereign came here for a trip earlier."

Yan Yan Lingji recounted what happened earlier. In fact, it could not be considered a big deal; it was nothing more than the Yin-Yang School Eastern Sovereign discovering that there was no place for her to use her skills, and being unwilling to give up, so she came to see Yan Yan Lingji.

"It seems I am going to be targeted by the Yin-Yang School."

After listening to Yan Yan Lingji's words, Su Xuan suddenly made such a prediction.

"Is it because you ruined their good deeds?"

Yan Yan Lingji looked at Su Xuan curiously.

Regarding the purpose of the Yin-Yang School hiding in the dark this time, Su Xuan had already said it earlier, and there was no need to tell it again.

Su Xuan nodded and said: "Although the Yin-Yang School came from the Daoist School, after hundreds of years of development, it has long been completely different from the Daoist School. The Daoist School practices non-action and does not compete with the world, while the Yin-Yang School does everything, which can be called going to the extreme. Their techniques, although they can make people gain powerful strength in a short time, this strength is accompanied by great risks. If one is not careful, one will go into qi deviation."

"Those who offend them will be fiercely retaliated against by them, and those they fancy will be taken by them by all means, which includes things and... people!"

"People? Does this Yin-Yang School also engage in the business of kidnapping?" Yan Yan Lingji exclaimed. Although Su Xuan's evaluation of the Yin-Yang School was not good now, she really did not know that the Yin-Yang School would do such things.

"Is it very surprising? But the fact is just like this!"

Su Xuan told Yan Yan Lingji about an old matter that happened in recent years: "Have you ever heard of Gan Luo?"

"Gan Luo? That young Shangqing of the Qin State?"

Yan Yan Lingji had heard of Gan Luo's matter, or rather, as long as one understood a little about the things that happened between the seven countries, one would not ignore Gan Luo. This person was a young talent who once served under Lu Lu Buwei. At the age of twelve, he went to the Zhao State as an envoy. Using schemes, he helped the Qin State obtain more than ten cities. Relying on his merits, he was rewarded by the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, granted the title of Shangqing, and rewarded with fields and houses.

It was just that later, for some reason, he suddenly disappeared.

"Gan Luo was famous at a young age, but he was fancy by the Yin-Yang School. The Yin-Yang School thought he was a rare genius of Yin-Yang arts, so they colluded with others. After a series of designs, his whole family died. He mistakenly thought that this matter was done by Ying Zheng. Under the attack of grief and indignation, he died in office. Little did he know... he was actually faking his death, was secretly taken away by the Yin-Yang School, and was taught Yin-Yang arts. Now, driven by the power of hatred, he has become a sharp blade of the Yin-Yang School!"

Su Xuan's words were leisurely, telling a secret past.

"It's really surprising." Yan Yan Lingji did not know Gan Luo, and only heard of the other party's deeds. For this person, she had no joy or sorrow. In the final analysis, she was not from the Qin State.

However, after knowing the actions of the Yin-Yang School, she could not help but develop a bit of contempt for the Yin-Yang School.

It looked like a famous school of the Hundred Schools, bright and beautiful, but the things done in private were really not glorious.

No wonder Su Xuan would look down on the Yin-Yang School.

After finishing the old matter of Gan Luo and the Yin-Yang School, Su Xuan did not say anything else.

The Yin-Yang School Eastern Sovereign looking for Yan Yan Lingji meant that he had already entered the eyes of the Yin-Yang School.

Next, it was just that he did not know whether the Yin-Yang School's attitude toward him was to win him over, or... hostile?

No matter which one it was, Su Xuan was quite looking forward to it.

After all, his recent life was indeed a bit plain, far less colorful and stimulating than when he was in the Han State.

He hoped that the Yin-Yang School could find him some fun.

After all, before the Yin-Yang School targeted him, he had actually developed some thoughts about the Yin-Yang School.

After the capping ceremony ended, Ying Zheng, under the witness of many ministers, was officially an adult.

Lu Lu Buwei, forced by the situation, even if he was extremely unwilling, still had to return the seal representing the King of Qin's identity to Ying Zheng. After Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne, he had always held this seal, handling state affairs on his behalf. Now, returning the seal to Ying Zheng represented his return of power to the King of Qin.

Ying Zheng happily accepted the seal, and from today on, he was no longer a King of Qin with only a name but no reality, but a real King of the Qin State.

For him, the two shackles bound to him had already broken one after Lao Ai died, and the remaining one would also be broken by him before long.

With Ying Zheng executing Lao Ai and holding the capping ceremony in Yongcheng, Lu Lu Buwei returned power to Ying Zheng.

Everything seemed to have ended, but in fact, it was not. The real storm had just begun.

First, after many ministers who participated in the capping ceremony returned to Xianyang, they were shocked to find that during their trip to Yongcheng, Lao Ai's subordinates had once rebelled and intended to seize Xianyang.

Fortunately, the two Chu maternal relatives, Lord Changping Lord and Lord Changwen Lord, and General Wang Yi sent troops to quell this rebellion.

That day in the ancestral temple, although Ying Zheng once let people show Lao Ai's corpse to the public and stated Lao Ai's crimes, many ministers were shocked, but they only thought that Lao Ai intended to harm the King in Yongcheng.

After returning to Xianyang, they found that Lao Ai had sent troops on two sides, and while attacking the King in Yongcheng, he even sent troops to attack Xianyang.

This made them feel palpitations.

Xianyang was the hub of the Qin State. If it were occupied by Lao Ai's people, it would not be a good thing for the Qin State.

Learning that this rebellion had been quelled, they could not help but praise the King of Qin's foresight.

Lord Changping Lord, Lord Changwen Lord, and General Wang Yi responded so timely, which showed that the King of Qin had been prepared long ago.

Unfortunately, their praise for Ying Zheng did not last long before new accusations appeared in the court. This matter was related to Empress Dowager Zhao Ji.
