Chapter 578

Although initially he had been somewhat resentful regarding the Qin Guo's destruction of Han Guo, as time passed and the Qin Guo destroyed several more nations, this resentment had gradually faded.

Han Fei had to admit that Ying Zheng was truly the number one heroic and enlightened ruler in the world!

With the Qin Guo in his hands, achieving an unprecedented great cause would be a matter of course.

Since Han Guo had already fallen, and he himself was a person with considerable ambition, it would be better to participate in it and help the Qin Guo complete this task; that way, he could also feel a sense of shared honor.

But there was one person whom Han Fei always viewed with complex feelings.

That was Su Xuan.

Years ago, during the great drought in Han Guo, he and Wei Zhuang went to the State of Wei to borrow grain. After great hardship, they finally secured it, but before they could transport the grain back to Han Guo to resolve the disaster, they encountered Su Xuan blocking their path, causing all their efforts to fall short.

As a chain reaction, the cost was the destruction of Han Guo.

It was only after defecting to the Qin Guo that Han Fei learned that the series of events targeting Han Guo were all Su Xuan's handiwork. It was naturally related to Su Xuan; after all, after Ji Wuye died, the Yemu organization had been used by Su Xuan.

In the destruction of Han Guo, Yemu had played an extremely disgraceful role.

Therefore, for a period after Han Guo's fall, he felt both hatred and resentment toward Su Xuan, but even while hating him, he never thought of seeking revenge.

The main reason was that Su Xuan's status in the Qin Guo was too special; if he were to move against Su Xuan, it would very likely destroy his current peaceful life and subsequently implicate those around him.

Later, another matter made Han Fei's feelings toward Su Xuan even more complex.

This matter concerned Princess Honglian.

Even though he had tried his best to prevent Honglian and Su Xuan from having contact, and had never even mentioned Su Xuan in front of her, it still hadn't changed the impression Su Xuan had left on her heart years ago.

Honglian had fallen in love with Su Xuan!

Later, by a stroke of fate, she encountered Su Xuan again.

Upon learning that Honglian had met Su Xuan, he had tried to stop her, but in the end, he failed. Thus, after much contemplation, he could only offer his sister his blessing.

At this moment, in front of Zhangtai Gong, after hearing Su Xuan's words, Han Fei remained silent for a long time before saying, "To be able to travel with Mr. Su is Han Fei's honor!"

"Really?" Su Xuan, however, did not believe him. "I thought that upon hearing this, you would be thinking to yourself that it was bad luck!"

Han Fei was silent. It was indeed bad luck; he truly did not want to travel with Su Xuan. The last time they traveled together was when he was waylaid by Su Xuan, and it was after that journey that he heard the news of Han Guo's destruction.

But now, Su Xuan was actually preparing to go to the Confucian school with him. What exactly was his purpose?

Based on Han Fei's consistent understanding of Su Xuan, he believed it was definitely nothing good.

Could this man be planning to destroy the Confucian school?

Destroying one of the Hundred Schools of Thought—this seemed inconceivable, but Su Xuan had a prior record; the affair of the Agricultural School was still circulating in the jianghu to this day.

Many thoughts arose in Han Fei's heart, but he was powerless to stop Su Xuan from traveling with him.

Since Su Xuan had appeared here and said such things, it meant that this matter had Ying Zheng's tacit approval.

He put away his thoughts and said to Su Xuan, "If you have time, go see Honglian more often. She misses you quite a bit!"

So to say, he actually did not approve of Honglian being with Su Xuan.

A person like Su Xuan was someone Honglian could not grasp.

Furthermore, Su Xuan's whereabouts were ethereal; no one knew where he went. Since the last time Honglian met Su Xuan, a long time had passed again.

Su Xuan nodded gently.

After being reminded by Han Fei, Su Xuan also realized that he had indeed disappeared for a long time again.

Thus, he deliberately set aside some time to accompany the women with whom he had deep relationships.

Honglian, Yan Lingji, and Lady Mingzhu, who had been the first to win his favor, were all among them. In his leisure time, he also went to listen to Nongyu's zither and watch Xue Nu's dance...

Although Su Xuan was obsessed with cultivation and longed to pursue greater power.

But at present, he was not yet prepared to abandon the identity of a "human," so sometimes, he did not mind enjoying the beauty of the mortal world.

Unfortunately, beautiful days are always short-lived.

Time easily casts people aside.

In the blink of an eye, the day arrived for Han Fei to go on his mission to the Confucian school.

Although Su Xuan could have gone to the Confucian school alone, after thinking about it, he decided to travel with Han Fei.

On this day, Han Fei saw Su Xuan. He had expected only Su Xuan to accompany him, but he discovered that beside Su Xuan was a graceful and gorgeous woman.

This caused Han Fei's brows to lift slightly.

It seemed that beside Su Xuan, there was never a lack of women: Yan Lingji from the early days, the later Dongjun and Moon Goddess of the Yin-Yang School, the Tide Witch who had attached herself to Su Xuan at some unknown time... and old friends like Zinu and Nongyu who had joined the Yin-Yang School.

Han Fei had some understanding of the existence of these people.

But this woman following Su Xuan now was someone he was unfamiliar with; it was his first time seeing her.

"Her name is Jing Ni. This time she will travel with us to the Little Sage Manor."

Su Xuan introduced her to Han Fei, and seeing Han Fei's furrowed brows, he added an explanation, "She is going to the Little Sage Manor to visit an old friend."

Han Fei's brows relaxed, and he nodded slightly.

The name Jing Ni brought many things to his mind.

Undoubtedly, this was not a normal person's name. Among the Eight Swords of the King of Yue, there happened to be a sword called Jing Ni. This couldn't help but remind him of Xuan Jian from back then. If his expectations were correct, this woman named Jing Ni was an assassin, a Heaven-grade first-class member of the Luo Wang.

What old friend could a Heaven-grade first-class member of the Luo Wang have in the Confucian school?

Was he sure they weren't going to carry out a mission?

Han Fei couldn't help but think again of Su Xuan's prior record of destroying the Agricultural School, and he felt more and more that Ying Zheng sending him on this mission to the Confucian school was just a pretext; the real purpose was to let Su Xuan and Jing Ni carry out certain tasks. **Chapter 580: The Purpose of the Trip**
