Chapter 121

"It’s him!"

Yan Yan Lingji immediately guessed who the young man was.

Gan Luo!

Once a young minister of the Qin state, but because of some calculations, he eventually turned his heart away from the King of Qin and chose to join the Yin-Yang School.

Yan Yan Lingji did not expect that she would see him as soon as she arrived at the Yin-Yang School.

After walking for a while, finally, they arrived in front of a bronze gate.

Yan Yan Lingji and Dongjun Yanfei stopped here, and Su Xuan walked into the gate alone.

The gate closed, and inside was a quite empty hall. In the hall, there was a high platform, and a figure dressed in wide robes and wearing a mask was quietly sitting on the high platform.

In the hall, the light was misty.

Stepping into it, it felt like walking in the universe and starry sea, which was extremely mysterious, but it was just a bit bluffing. Su Xuan discovered that these were all fake, all special effects created with the help of arrays.

If someone who didn’t know the reason stepped into this place, they would definitely think that the Yin-Yang School’s methods were brilliant and mysterious, but in fact, it was just like that.

When Su Xuan walked slowly into this hall where Donghuang Taiyi was, Donghuang Taiyi on the high platform also looked at Su Xuan, "Mr. Su, this should be the first time we meet, right!"

"But I am not unfamiliar with you!" Su Xuan raised his head, looked at Donghuang Taiyi sitting on the high platform, and said lightly.

He didn’t lie about this sentence.

After all, the name Donghuang Taiyi, whether in the original work or before reading the original work, reading some prehistoric novels, was often seen, and it could be considered a rotten street title.

Comparatively, the "Donghuang Taiyi" chapter in Qu Qu Yuan’s "Nine Songs" seemed a bit unpopular.

For the Nine Songs, most people are probably only familiar with the sentence "The road is long and far, I will search up and down." Besides this sentence, they might remember a few sentences sporadically, but it is quite difficult to recite them in their entirety.

"Being remembered by a strange person like Mr. Su, this seat is really flattered!" Donghuang Taiyi said lightly.

Su Xuan’s eyes suddenly turned cold, "Tell me, what’s the matter?"

If Donghuang Taiyi spoke politely, he wouldn’t mind exchanging pleasantries with Donghuang Taiyi, but after coming here, Donghuang Taiyi still put on a high-and-mighty attitude, calling himself "this seat," and not even willing to say a single "I," which was really too impolite.

What did he take him for?

Those people of the Yin-Yang School who were killed or taken by him and driven at will?

Donghuang Taiyi did not expect Su Xuan to be so direct. Originally, before Su Xuan came, he had thought of some wording, as well as how to... play god in front of Su Xuan, create a high-person image, and then attract Su Xuan’s favor.

Since Su Xuan was so direct, it was somewhat inappropriate for him to continue to play mystery.

After pondering for a while, Donghuang Taiyi said, "This seat learned from Dongjun that Mr. Su has no sect?"

"So what if I do?"

Donghuang Taiyi asked Su Xuan, "What does Mr. Su think of the Yin-Yang School?"

Su Xuan raised his eyebrows, roughly guessed some of Donghuang Taiyi’s intentions, pondered for a while, and gave an answer, "Hiding wind and gathering water, it is a top-grade feng shui treasure land!"

Actually, there was one sentence he didn’t say, that is, it is suitable for burying the dead, as a "burial ground," and Mount Li is indeed a burial ground with excellent feng shui. After all, the historically famous Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is located on Mount Li.

"I wonder if you are interested in joining my Yin-Yang School?"

Su Xuan looked at Donghuang Taiyi and said in a deep voice, "Is Your Excellency Donghuang trying to recruit me?"

Donghuang Taiyi said, "For Mr. Su’s many deeds and the methods you have displayed, this seat has also heard a little. My Yin-Yang School has a long heritage. If you are willing to join the Yin-Yang School, many practice classics and ancient elixir prescriptions can be opened to you!"

"Your Excellency Donghuang is really generous!" Su Xuan praised, and his tone changed again, "To take, one must first give. Your Excellency Donghuang only said that if I join the Yin-Yang School, I can get many practice classics and ancient elixir prescriptions, but you haven’t said what I need to pay!"

Donghuang Taiyi was about to speak.

Su Xuan said again, "Your Excellency Donghuang, you want to use me to get close to the King of Qin, right!"

Donghuang Taiyi’s eyes under the mask condensed slightly. He did not expect that Su Xuan had actually seen through his purpose.

Combined with Su Xuan’s actions since he appeared from the Han state, he is indeed a character that cannot be underestimated.

However, Donghuang Taiyi believed that he could still handle and control Su Xuan.

Admittedly, according to many rumors, the methods and strength displayed by Su Xuan are top-notch, but he believed he could do such things too.

Donghuang Taiyi said calmly, "Mr. Su, what are you talking about? The King of Qin is the monarch of the Qin state. My Yin-Yang School is located within the Qin state, and it is a matter of course to work for the Qin state. On the contrary, the Daoist school is located on the top of the Southern Mountains not far from Xianyang, but they don’t ask about world affairs, are isolated from the world, and have never thought about serving the country!"

"Your Excellency Donghuang actually has such a heart to serve the country, which is really surprising!"

Donghuang Taiyi ignored Su Xuan’s praise and said again, "So, what do you think about my previous proposal?"

"If Mr. Su is willing to join the Yin-Yang School, this position of deputy leader, this seat can hand it over to you!"

If it were an ordinary person, Donghuang Taiyi would obviously not be so polite.

Although the Yin-Yang School came from the Daoist school, its style of acting is completely different from the Daoist school, which can be described as extremely overbearing. If they want to complete something, they have always been unscrupulous to complete it.

Just like Gan Luo that day, he was revered as a high minister and had a noble status in the Qin state.

As a result, because the Yin-Yang School took a fancy to his talent for Yin-Yang arts, they still chose to abduct him to the Yin-Yang School.

Of course, part of the reason was because Gan Luo was unlucky, so he was picked up by the Yin-Yang School.

Gan Luo became famous at a young age and was also under Lü Lu Buwei. He made such a great contribution, making Lü Lu Buwei, who was already powerful in the court, even more prominent.

This matter would naturally arouse the fear of Ying Zheng.

It also aroused the fear of another force in the court, the Marquis of Changxin, Lao Ai.

On the way back to the country, Gan Luo encountered an assassination by the Net.

The Net was controlled by Lü Lu Buwei. It was obviously impossible for Lü Lu Buwei to order the Net to assassinate Gan Luo, so it could only be the other person who mastered a part of the Net’s power... Lao Ai.

Donghuang Taiyi, as a bystander hidden in the dark, knew all the truth, but he did not tell Lü Lu Buwei about these things.

After all, Gan Luo’s talent for Yin-Yang arts really made him jealous.

So in the struggle of various powers, he used a little means, with the help of that opportunity, successfully pulled Gan Luo into the Yin-Yang School and became Star Soul.

But that was Gan Luo, and Su Xuan was different.

Since Su Xuan appeared in the world, the various methods he displayed were brilliant, and his relationship with the King of Qin was unusual, so for this person, Donghuang Taiyi’s idea was only to be gentle and lure him with profit.

"Your Excellency Donghuang really has a big hand!"

Su Xuan sighed.

The corner of Donghuang Taiyi’s mouth under the mask raised slightly.

Su Xuan’s words sounded again, and his smile froze immediately.

"But a mere deputy leader is a bit too look down on me. I think the position of leader is quite good!"
