Chapter 370

Jing Ni wanted to say something more.

A voice sounded from the side.

"Speaking of Wu Ming, I am really curious, which school did Wu Ming come from back then? Also, what is the secret he guarded?"

Jing Ni and Yan Lu heard this and looked toward the direction where the voice came from at the same time, and only saw Su Xuan's figure.

Yan Lu had never seen Su Xuan, but after hearing Su Xuan mention his teacher Wu Ming, his heart still felt a chill.

Jing Ni was surprised that Su Xuan would appear here.

Su Xuan went out earlier, seemingly having important matters; appearing here now, was his business finished?

Su Xuan felt two gazes fall on him, but he was not nervous, with a faint smile on his face, "Sitting and Forgetting (Zuowang), it seems to be a realm of the Daoist school; is Wu Ming a person of the Daoist school?"

The technique Yan Lu practiced was the Sitting and Forgetting Heart Method; Sitting and Forgetting first appeared in Zhuang Zhou's "Great Master" of the Daoist school, and the full text was "Drop the limbs, dismiss intelligence, depart from form and discard knowledge, become one with the Great Thoroughfare; this is called Sitting and Forgetting."

It was also after hearing Yan Lu and Jing Ni mention Wu Ming this time that Su Xuan remembered this, and thus asked this question.

"Who is this?"

Yan Lu felt some vigilance toward Su Xuan in his heart and did not rush to answer Su Xuan's question, but instead asked about Su Xuan's background.

Jing Ni finally spoke, her tone somewhat complex, "He is the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School!"

Yan Lu was surprised again, thinking of what his senior brother Funiu had said to him earlier, and immediately bowed to Su Xuan: "Greetings, Mr. Su!"

Su Xuan gladly accepted Yan Lu's bow and said calmly: "You haven't answered my question yet."

Yan Lu frowned.

Su Xuan knowing about his teacher Wu Ming made him very surprised.

The relationship between him and Wu Ming was known to few people; no, there was a person involved right now, and he subconsciously looked at Jing Ni; did Jing Ni tell Su Xuan these things?

When he looked at Jing Ni, Jing Ni's gaze also looked at him.

In a short instant, he tasted many things from Jing Ni's eyes.

And so, he had the answer in his heart.

"My teacher, he indeed came from the Daoist school."

He chose to answer Su Xuan's first question.

Although he did not know how Su Xuan knew about his teacher and the Sitting and Forgetting Heart Method, he had also heard a little about what this Yin-Yang School Sect Master had done, so it was best to answer his question obediently.

Of course, the main reason was still Jing Ni's hint.

When Yan Lu answered this question, Jing Ni sighed in her heart.

She did not know why Su Xuan would suddenly become interested in Wu Ming and ask about Wu Ming's origin and the secret he guarded back then.

But based on her understanding of Su Xuan.

Su Xuan was an extremely overbearing person.

Because the Nongjia (Agricultural School) opposed Qin, it was destroyed by Su Xuan alone.

Zhao Gao of the Luo Wang, and Su Xuan were both people of Qin Guo, but because of improper words, he was slapped in the face by Su Xuan.

It could be said that Su Xuan was a very arrogant person, but he indeed had the confidence to be arrogant, not only because the Qin Wang favored him, but also because of his powerful strength.

This time Su Xuan and Han Fei came to the Confucian school, they were already carrying a heavy responsibility, forcing the Confucian school to take sides; if Yan Lu offended Su Xuan at this time, it would not be a good thing.

For the first question, with Su Xuan's identity, if he really wanted to investigate the old events of the past, he should be able to find out; after all, the Luo Wang had once carried out a very long pursuit of their teacher and student.

Therefore, after a little consideration, Yan Lu told the origin of his teacher.

The Sitting and Forgetting Heart Method indeed came from the Daoist school.

"Interesting, your teacher was a person of the Daoist school, yet you actually ran to the Confucian school."

Knowing that Wu Ming was truly a person of the Daoist school, Su Xuan was somewhat surprised.

Yan Lu fell silent.

Seeing Yan Lu silent, Su Xuan did not pursue the reason, and said again: "You can answer my second question."

For the second question, Su Xuan asked what the secret Wu Ming guarded was.

If Yan Lu could answer the previous question, he was obviously unwilling to answer this one.

And so, he said in a deep voice: "Sorry, I have never heard of what secret my teacher guarded."

"Is that so?"

Su Xuan looked at Yan Lu with disbelief.

Yan Lu felt Su Xuan's gaze on him and immediately became nervous.

This made him think of some rumors in the Jianghu.

"Is this the strength of the Yin-Yang School Sect Master?"

Also nervous was Jing Ni on the side.

Yan Lu and she were old acquaintances after all, and she could not watch Yan Lu have an accident; if Su Xuan was really determined to get the secret guarded by Wu Ming from Yan Lu, she could only try to excuse Yan Lu to prevent Su Xuan from taking action against him.

As a result, it was beyond her expectation.

After looking at Yan Lu for a while, Su Xuan said faintly: "Since you don't want to say, then forget it."

"You and Jing Ni are old acquaintances; for Jing Ni's sake, I can give you a promise: if one day you encounter a crisis, you can come to me for protection!"

Yan Lu frowned and looked at Su Xuan with some surprise.

Su Xuan smiled faintly, did not say much, turned around, and left here; after taking a few steps, his figure disappeared.

Jing Ni and Yan Lu looked at each other, looking at each other in dismay.

They were becoming more and more unable to fathom Su Xuan's purpose.

It seemed as if Su Xuan came here just to ask Yan Lu a question.

The three of Su Xuan did not stay overnight at the Little Sage and Virtuous Manor, but returned to the Youjian Inn at the foot of the mountain.

Compared to staying in the Little Sage and Virtuous Manor.

Undoubtedly, staying at the Youjian Inn was more comfortable, and of course, the food was also better.

In order to leave a good impression on Su Xuan for this trip to Sanghai, Pao Ding exerted all his skills to cook; after hearing Su Xuan mention the specialty dish of the Qi-Lu region, "Shark Fin Steamed Bear Paw," he even spent a lot of money to get bear paws and made a good meal for Su Xuan.

Han Fei only liked wine in his life and had no great pursuit of food; Jing Ni went without saying, taking her daughter to sleep in the open, and could be said to have suffered a lot.

However, after eating Pao Ding's food, they also gradually changed some views.

If the food is delicious enough, it can indeed make people unforgettable.

This time, they could be considered to have benefited from Su Xuan.

In the blink of an eye, it had been several days since Su Xuan and the others tasted Pao Ding's food at the Youjian Inn.

On this day, Yan Lu came to the Youjian Inn.

He came on behalf of his senior brother Funiu to invite the three of Su Xuan to the Little Sage and Virtuous Manor.

After a period of consideration, Funiu finally made up his mind and made a decision.

Realizing this, Han Fei's expression also became serious.

Although he was the one who handed the edict to Funiu on his behalf.

But he was also very concerned about the survival of the Confucian school.

What choice would Funiu make?

What is certain is that Funiu's choice will determine the rise and fall of the Confucian school! Chuan
