If she hadn't learned about this from His Excellency Donghuang, she really couldn't imagine that the two people she met in Yongcheng that day would hide in such a place.

The other party helped the King of Qin such a big favor, not to mention not being in a hurry to ask for rewards from the King of Qin, they were actually willing to hide among the common people.

Thoughts flickered for a while.

The woman's figure flickered, instantly jumping over the wall, entering the courtyard, looking at the tightly closed door, feeling the aura inside.

The woman's sleeves brushed past, and in an instant, a strong wind blew out, immediately knocking the door open.

The next moment, a strong wind, much more powerful than the one she released, surged out from the room, sweeping up the strong wind she had used to enter, and rushed toward her body.

The woman's internal energy surged, her dress flew, and she tried hard to stabilize her body.

However, the next moment, another force surged out along with the strong wind, finally making her take a step back.

"Coming without notice, trespassing into a private residence, is this how your Yin-Yang School lacks etiquette?" Su Xuan's voice rang out from the room, falling into the woman's ears.

The woman raised her eyebrows. If it were in the past, she would have been unable to help but rush into the room and fight Su Xuan.

After all, such an expert is hard to find in the world; if she didn't exchange pointers, it would be a real pity.

But now, she was here with a mission.

After a little thought, the woman spoke toward the direction of the room: "I came abruptly, please forgive me, sir. My Sect Master invites Mr. Su to meet at Mount Lishan!"

"Oh? I didn't expect that an idle person like me would attract the attention of the Yin-Yang School's Sect Master, Donghuang Taiyi. That's interesting!" Su Xuan walked out of the room slowly, with Yan Lingji following quietly by Su Xuan's side.

Looking at the woman standing in the courtyard, Yan Lingji even greeted her, "We meet again!"

The woman was Dongjun Yanfei of the Yin-Yang School.

"Long time no see!" Yanfei also greeted Yan Lingji. Since parting in Yongcheng, until now, the time was not too long, but not short either.

After greeting, her gaze fell on Su Xuan again. This was her first meeting with Su Xuan.

That day in Yongcheng, she had seen from afar the scene of Su Xuan killing Lao Ai. That kind of strength made her feel shocked.

But she did not choose to meet Su Xuan. Similarly, she did not know Su Xuan's name.

She only learned Su Xuan's name this time from His Excellency the Sect Master, Donghuang.

Looking at Su Xuan, Yanfei continued: "Mr. Su once solved problems for the King of Qin, and is a distinguished guest of the King of Qin. Your strength is unfathomable; how can you be an ordinary idle person?"

"Hmph!" Su Xuan let out a cold snort and ignored Yanfei's flattering words.

Anyone can say nice things, but you can't really take such words seriously.

He looked at Yanfei again and said: "Since it is your Sect Master's invitation, then I will accompany you for a trip."

The meaning of Donghuang Taiyi inviting Su Xuan at this time is thought-provoking.

Especially since Lü Buwei just left Xianyang this morning.

That day in Yongcheng, Su Xuan once told Yan Lingji about some sordid past events of the Yin-Yang School. After returning from Yongcheng, when he was idle, he had visited the Yin-Yang School.

The reason why he became interested in the Yin-Yang School was not only because of some thoughts that arose in Yongcheng, but also because the Yin-Yang School at this time was far from reaching the prosperity described in the original work. In other words, they hadn't latched onto Seeing Ying Zheng's thigh yet.

Then, before latching onto Seeing Ying Zheng, who did they rely on?

It was the Chancellor, Lü Buwei.

During the Warring States period, there was a trend of raising retainers. The Four Lords of the Warring States all had many retainers. After Lü Buwei became the Chancellor of Qin, he also imitated the Four Lords and recruited many retainers. When he recruited retainers, he did not value brave warriors very much, but paid great attention to literary talent.

It was truly because Lü Buwei had always been good at strategy and looked down on those simple-minded brave warriors. Besides, he controlled the Luo Wang, so there was really no need to raise warriors for battle.

At that time, many eloquent scholars wrote books and established theories, which were widely circulated. Not only were they famous in the world, but they could also be passed down to future generations and live forever in history. This point especially made Lü Buwei jealous. Lü Buwei was originally a merchant and had no conditions to write books and establish theories, but he could use these retainers who were good at writing to realize his ambitions and wishes.

Thus, he recruited many retainers to write books for himself, finally using "Daoist theories" as the backbone, and using the thoughts and theories of the School of Names, Legalism, Confucianism, Mohism, Agriculturalism, Military Strategy, and Yin-Yang as materials, melting the theories of the Hundred Schools of Thought into one furnace, and compiled a strange book of the "Miscellaneous School," which was the "Lüshi Chunqiu." The Yin-Yang School was in such a situation that it latched onto Lü Buwei. ===== CHAPTER 201 =====
