Chapter 359: The Life and Death of the Confucian School Depends on Themselves!

~7 min read 1,211 words

Pao Ding was very curious about the purpose of the visitors.

When he saw clearly who had come, he was stunned for a moment.

"It's him!"

That's right, he knew Su Xuan. Although the Youjian Inn was located in Sanghai, this did not mean Pao Ding stayed here all the time and never returned to the Mechanical City. In any case, he was a leader of the Mohist school.

It was precisely because he had returned to the Mechanical City that he was very clear about the changes in the Mohist school and knew who had brought about these changes.

Excluding the leader of the Mohist school, the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

There was one person who could never be bypassed.

The leader of the Yin-Yang School, Su Xuan!

"What is this person doing in Sanghai at this time?" Pao Ding could not help but feel curious.

At the same time, he also had some new thoughts.

That was, should he pretend not to know this person?

If the other party was hiding their identity to come here, would he ruin their good deed by directly stating their identity?

Su Xuan spoke first, dispelling some of Pao Ding's concerns.

"Leader Ding, long time no see!"

Since the other party had stated his identity as a Mohist leader, to show respect, Pao Ding decided not to hide Su Xuan's identity either.

"Greetings, Your Excellency Master Xuantian!"

Pao Ding was not very clear about the past grievances between the Mohist school and the Yin-Yang School, but the fact that the Mohist school could have today was indeed largely related to the Yin-Yang School.

If it weren't for the rescue by the leader of the Yin-Yang School, the Six-Fingered Black Knight would not have survived, nor would he have been able to expose Yan Dan's conspiracy.

It was precisely because Yan Dan's conspiracy was exposed that the Mohist school avoided the fate of going down the wrong path, and thus the Mohist school had its present state.

Pao Ding was not a very courageous person.

Even though he was one of the leaders of the Mohist school, he only became a leader by relying on his ancestors. Like Master Xu, he was someone who served the Mohist school for generations. The difference was that Master Xu was a sword smith, and he was a cook.

As a cook, he did not have much courage, nor did he have extraordinary vision.

Compared to those who only talked about the common people of the world, he did not have such long-term vision or ability, but he still hoped that hungry people in the world could have a meal.

That was all.

Besides that, whether the Mohist school opposed Qin or helped Qin, he did not care.

However, judging by the current results, the Mohist school joining the State of Qin was indeed a correct decision.

Over the years, many new agricultural tools researched by the Mohist school had been promoted throughout the world by the State of Qin. Even though he lived in the State of Qi all year round, he could see these changes.

As for the State of Qin starting wars and destroying five countries in succession?

Pao Ding did not say that the State of Qin was wrong. Without the State of Qin starting wars, would the wars in this world have stopped?

Would the countries have lived in peace with each other?

Clearly not!

After greeting Su Xuan, an important figure who indirectly changed the Mohist school, Pao Ding asked Su Xuan: "I wonder what brings Your Excellency Master Xuantian to Sanghai?"

Su Xuan did not stand on ceremony and asked Pao Ding directly: "Shopkeeper Ding, you have been running an inn here for years, so you must be no stranger to the affairs of the Confucian school. I want to know the current situation of the Confucian school!"

Although the State of Qin had the Net organization to collect intelligence, Su Xuan did not have a good relationship with Zhao Gao, the current master of the Net, and he did not trust the intelligence provided by the Net very much. Therefore, after arriving in Sanghai, he decided to use his own channels to understand the affairs of the Confucian school.

Han Fei had an expression that said "as expected."

Su Xuan came here first before going to the Little Sage Manor; he was indeed here to obtain intelligence on the Confucian school.

The Mohist school setting up a stronghold here showed no small ambition.

However, after the destruction of the Agricultural School, the only one capable of doing such a thing in the current age was the Mohist school. Although the number of Mohist disciples was not as large as the Agricultural School, it was not small either. With so many disciples hidden in all parts of the world, no one knew how many strongholds the Mohist school had.

At the same time, through this matter, Han Fei saw another side.

That was, although Su Xuan was the leader of the Yin-Yang School, he was vaguely above the Mohist school and could command the people of the Mohist school.

Upon hearing Su Xuan's words, Pao Ding was stunned. Although he was not very smart, he was not stupid; how could he not know that Su Xuan had come for the Confucian school?

"My goodness, this ruthless character, could he be here to destroy the Confucian school this time!"

Even though Su Xuan only had three people on this trip, after the turmoil of the Agricultural School, Pao Ding did not think that three people could not destroy the Confucian school, simply because the rumors in the martial arts world about Su Xuan were too unbelievable.

While thinking, Pao Ding still honestly told what he knew about the Confucian school.

Compared to the relationship with the Confucian school, clearly, the relationship between the Mohist school and the Yin-Yang School was closer. He had not forgotten that the Mohist school had already defected to the State of Qin, and he could also be considered a person of the State of Qin.

"... fter the destruction of the State of Chu, the Confucian scholars of the Little Sage Manor began to curse the State of Qin. They slandered the State of Qin in every possible way. As a group of scholars, they could not see the general trend; they are really not good things..."

Pao Ding thought that Su Xuan had come here to destroy the Confucian school, so to avoid angering Su Xuan, he disparaged the Confucian school in his words.

This fell into Su Xuan's ears with a different meaning.

He had long heard that the Confucian and Mohist schools did not get along well; it seemed to be true.

Now that he thought about it, the Mohist school setting up this stronghold at the foot of the Confucian headquarters was probably to monitor the movements of the Confucian school at any time.

Pao Ding continued: "Recently, the attention of these Confucian scholars has been entirely attracted by paper."

Paper was manufactured by the Mohist school, and the earliest formula came from Su Xuan.

Pao Ding believed that Su Xuan knew what this was, so he did not explain much about what paper was.
