Chapter 579: The purpose of this trip

Was there anyone or anything in the Confucian Little Sage Manor worth Su Xuan—no, it should be said, worth the King of Qin's attention?

Han Fei had once studied at the Confucian school and was extremely familiar with it.

He immediately thought of some things.

For example, the sword of prestige, Tai'e. Although this sword ranked third in the sword manual, it was far older than the first and second swords. Besides the Tai'e sword, the Little Sage Manor was also the place where his teacher, Xun Zi, lived in seclusion.

Could the goal of Su Xuan and the Luo Wang Heaven-grade first-class be his teacher, Xun Zi?

The more Han Fei thought about it, the more he felt this was possible.

Especially since Ying Zheng had sent him to the Little Sage Manor this time.

While praising it, Xun Zi also disagreed with its strategy of valuing criminal law and administration and slighting benevolence, virtue, and scholars, which was why he had the later sentence.

Han Fei speculated on the purpose of Su Xuan and the others, but he was helpless.

Although he was very clever, sometimes there were things that could not be solved just by being clever.

For example, a person like Su Xuan.

In terms of wisdom, Su Xuan was not inferior to him; until now, in all matters, Su Xuan could be said to have calculated everything without error. In terms of strength, Su Xuan's strength could be called peerless in the world.

If the King of Qin and Su Xuan were truly preparing to move against his teacher, Xun Zi.

He would be unable to stop them.

Han Fei decided to take things one step at a time; at least with him by their side, perhaps things would not reach such an extreme situation.

Su Xuan did not know what Han Fei was thinking; after all, he did not have mind-reading powers.

If he knew that Han Fei had developed these thoughts at this moment, he would certainly be extremely speechless.

One could only say that cleverness is often undone by cleverness; sometimes, being too clever is not a good thing, as it only makes people overthink, and overthinking leads to mistakes.

He did indeed have a purpose in going to the Little Sage Manor this time, but it was not for Xun Zi.

It was for something hidden within the Little Sage Manor—the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon!

This was something he had learned from Lord Changping. After the Tian-Chen usurpation of Qi, the Jiang-Qi were replaced, but there were always some who were unwilling to accept it. Therefore, they secretly sent out something ancestral, which was the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon.

In other words, the current Qi royal family did not possess the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon.

The Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon sent out by the Jiang-Qi people were once lost, but eventually, Lord Changping found some clues. Unfortunately, because he had only moderate interest in the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, he did not deliberately search for them, and in the end, it all benefited Su Xuan.

And the purpose of Seeing Jing Ni traveling with Su Xuan was even simpler.

She had learned the whereabouts of the youth named "Lu" from back then, so she prepared to go and see him.

In Seeing Jing Ni's life, Lord Xinling was a person she could not bypass, and besides Lord Xinling, the person who influenced her most deeply was Wu Ming.

It was precisely because Wu Ming died to enlighten her that she developed the determination to live for herself and break away from the Luo Wang.

Although Wu Ming was dead, his disciple was still alive.

Over these years, Seeing Jing Ni did not know where the other party had gone, nor did she know if he was still alive.

After learning from Su Xuan that "Lu" was hiding in the Confucian Little Sage Manor, she developed the thought of wanting to go and see him.

Originally, she had prepared to bring her daughter along, but after thinking about it, she gave up.

The journey to the State of Qi was long, and Yan'er was weak and sickly and could not endure the jolting; it was better to leave her at the Yin-Yang School.
