Chapter 190: The Yin-Yang School, a Bunch of Petty Thieves!

~7 min read 1,325 words

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

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

Except for Gai Nie, who had always been paying attention to Su Xuan, no one even noticed that Su Xuan had left halfway.

Returning to the familiar rooftop, Yan Lingji was still waiting there quietly. A fine drizzle fell from the sky, but Yan Lingji had no intention of avoiding it; with such a light rain, 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 Lingji recounted what had 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 Lingji.

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

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

"Is it because you ruined their good deeds?"

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 stated it earlier, so there was no need to tell it again.

Su Xuan nodded and said: "Although the Yin-Yang School originated 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 contend with the world, while the Yin-Yang School does everything, which can be called going to the extreme. Their cultivation methods, although they can allow people to obtain 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 subjected to their fierce revenge, and those they fancy will be taken by them by any means necessary. This includes things, and also... people!"

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

"Is it very surprising? But the facts are just like this!"

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

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

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

But later, for some reason, he suddenly disappeared.

"Gan Luo became 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 entire family died, and he mistakenly thought that this matter was done by Seeing Ying Zheng. Filled with grief and indignation, he died at his post. Little did he know... he was actually faking his death, secretly taken away by the Yin-Yang School, and taught Yin-Yang arts. Now, driven by the power of hatred, he has become a sharp blade of the Yin-Yang School!"

Su Xuan spoke leisurely, telling a secret past event.

"It's really surprising." 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 Guo.

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

It looked like a famous school of the Hundred Schools of Thought, extremely glamorous, 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 story of Gan Luo and the Yin-Yang School, Su Xuan did not say anything else.

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

Next, it was just unknown whether the Yin-Yang School's attitude toward him was one of solicitation, or... hostility?

Regardless of which one it was, Su Xuan was quite looking forward to it.

After all, life recently had indeed been a bit plain, far less colorful and exciting than when he was in the Han State.

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

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

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

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

Seeing 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 true King of the Qin Guo.

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

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

All the turmoil seemed to have ended, but in reality, it was not so; the real turmoil had just begun.

First, after the many ministers who participated in the capping ceremony returned to Xianyang, they were shocked to realize that during their trip to Yongcheng, Lao Ai's subordinates had once caused chaos, intending to seize Xianyang.

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

On that day in the ancestral temple, although Seeing 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 discovered that Lao Ai had sent troops from two sides; while attacking the King in Yongcheng, he even sent troops to attack Xianyang.

This made them feel a burst of palpitations.

Xianyang was the pivot of the Qin Guo; if it were occupied by Lao Ai's people, it would not be a good thing for the Qin Guo.

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

Lord Changping, Lord Changwen, and General Wang Yi responded so timely; it looked like the King of Qin had been prepared long ago.

Regrettably, their praise for Seeing Ying Zheng did not last long before new voices of accusation appeared in the imperial court, and this matter was related to Empress Dowager Zhao Ji. ===== CHAPTER 192 =====
