Chapter 340: Huaiyin

"Han Xin is just a small character, known by very few. I never thought Lord Master Xuantian would actually know him!"

Chu Nan Gong was very curious.

Where exactly did Su Xuan know about Han Xin's affairs?

Or could it be that Su Xuan possessed the ability to foresee the future?

Su Xuan said in a deep voice: "Although Han Xin is a small character right now, I believe that as long as he is given an opportunity, he can soar into the sky and amaze everyone!"

"Oh? Lord Master Xuantian thinks so highly of Han Xin?"

Chu Nan Gong looked at Su Xuan in confusion.

In their casual conversation, he had admitted that he did indeed have a disciple named Han Xin.

Su Xuan did not say that he knew how extraordinary Han Xin was because he was familiar with the plot and history. Facing Chu Nan Gong's confusion, he replied: "It is not that I think highly of Han Xin, but because he is Nan Gong's disciple, and I trust Nan Gong's eye!"

Chu Nan Gong fell silent again.

Although he did not know why Su Xuan would know such a person as Han Xin, he did not deliberate for too long before making a decision.

It was just a Han Xin!

Let Han Xin join the Yin-Yang School then.

Being favored by Su Xuan, the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, was his good fortune, and he had to seize this opportunity well.

There were some hidden thoughts that Chu Nan Gong did not tell outsiders: if he could use a Han Xin to get Su Xuan to stop pestering him, that would also be a good thing for him.

This was called: when the master has trouble, the disciple does the work.

Even if the time he spent guiding Han Xin was not long, Han Xin was indeed considered his disciple.

He could refuse to acknowledge this disciple, but Han Xin could not refuse to acknowledge him as his teacher.

After Chu Nan Gong left, and after Yan Fei returned from hunting, Su Xuan mentioned the matter of Han Xin to her.

"Han Xin? What virtue or ability does this person have to be so highly valued by Lord Master Xuantian?"

Yan Fei's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Before Su Xuan could answer her question, her eyebrows relaxed again: "Since Lord Master Xuantian thinks so highly of him, this person must have something extraordinary!"

She did not know when it started, but within the Yin-Yang School, a cult of personality had gradually begun.

Although Su Xuan had never considered himself a god like Donghuang Taiyi and was usually very approachable.

But in the eyes of the people of the Yin-Yang School, Su Xuan was a god!

The tall image he held in the hearts of the people of the Yin-Yang School was not brought about by magnificent palaces or the sense of mystery created, but by the various profound methods he used, step by step earning the reverence of the people of the Yin-Yang School.

Yan Fei did not know why Su Xuan valued Han Xin so much, but she trusted Su Xuan's eye.

The south of the river is called Yin; the Huaiyin region of Huainan was called Dongyi and Huaiyi during the Shang and Zhou periods.

At the end of the Spring and Autumn period, it belonged to the Wu State. After Wu was destroyed, it fell into the hands of the Yue State. Later, the Chu State repeatedly invaded the Si River basin, and Huaiyin belonged sometimes to Yue and sometimes to Chu, eventually belonging to Chu.

However, right now, with the progress of the war, it had already fallen into the hands of the Qin State.

Su Xuan, Yan Fei, and Chu Nan Gong left the Yunmeng Marshes and, after traveling, arrived in this Huaiyin land.

Originally, Chu Nan Gong did not want to leave the Yunmeng Marshes.

But he could not resist Su Xuan's interest in Han Xin, so he had to make the trip and lead the way personally.

In his heart, he naturally felt some resentment.

Young people nowadays were less and less respectful to the elderly. He, an old man, could not even enjoy his twilight years in peace and actually had to lead the way for a young person. Hadn't he already told Su Xuan Han Xin's whereabouts?

He could have just found him himself, but he insisted on him leading the way.

They traveled all the way to the Huainan land, heading toward Huaiyin County.

Along the way, because of the war, the three of them saw many refugees and even encountered some bandits. Some bandits, seeing that Yan Fei was beautiful, immediately had some inappropriate thoughts.

For people seeking their own death like this, Su Xuan could only watch them die quietly.

This journey allowed Yan Fei to see another side of the war.

Previously, when she and Su Xuan headed toward the Yunmeng Marshes, although they had seen many refugees who had lost their homes because of the war and had to flee toward the Yunmeng Marshes, the main purpose of that trip was to find Donghuang Taiyi, and Yan Fei had not had much contact with those affected by the war.

Now, having felt the changes brought by the war on a deeper level, she revealed a thoughtful expression.

"Is this the reason why Lord Master Xuantian chose to help the Qin King unify the world?"

Since the Spring and Autumn period, war had never ceased on this land.

When the Qin State first conquered the Han State, they gave a reason for the war of annihilation: "Punish the unrighteous, execute the inhumane, and save the common people." To put it in detail, it meant that from ancient times to the present, war had always shrouded this land, causing the common people to suffer.

So, to save the common people of the world, the Qin State decided to destroy the six states.

Although the people of the six states would once again suffer the hardships brought by war.

But conversely, as long as the Qin State unified the world, there would no longer be a situation of warring states and people living in misery.

The things encountered along the way were just a small interlude.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Huaiyin County.

After arriving at Huaiyin County, because of the war, there were not many people here, and Yan Fei discovered one thing: most of those remaining in Huaiyin County were the old, the weak, women, and children; there were not many able-bodied men.

At first, Yan Fei did not care, until she asked someone about Han Xin and found out why.

The reason why there were few men in the Huaiyin land was that the war had broken out, and the men here had all joined the army to defend their homes and country.

Because of this, Han Xin, who was already an adult but still had no ambition, had a very poor reputation here.

Han Xin's parents died early, and his family was poor. If he had good character, that would be one thing.

But he was of poor character, lazy, and spent his days talking big but unwilling to work. He was able to survive only because of the relief of others.

Yan Fei did not doubt Su Xuan's eye. Since Su Xuan determined that Han Xin was extraordinary, there must be something extraordinary about him.

But she began to despise Chu Nan Gong: "Nan Gong, your disciple is living in such a miserable state, and you don't even provide him with any relief?"

Chu Nan Gong was speechless when he heard this.

How was he supposed to provide relief to Han Xin?

He himself was just a lonely old man. He had already taught Han Xin a skill; who was to blame if Han Xin did not use that skill to make a living?

Even Chu Nan Gong himself had not expected that the people in Han Xin's hometown would dislike him so much and that his reputation would be so poor.
