Chapter 581

~6 min read 1,171 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 recognized Su Xuan. Although Youjian Inn was located in Sanghai, this did not mean Pao Ding stayed here all the time and never returned to the Mechanical City; regardless, 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 he knew who had brought about these changes.

Excluding the Mohist leader, the Black Hero,

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 couldn't help but feel some curiosity.

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

That was, should he pretend not to recognize 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, 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 not for the rescue by the leader of the Yin-Yang School, the Black Hero 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 outcome of going down the wrong path, and thus had the Mohist School of today.

Pao Ding was not a very bold 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 spoke only of the world's common people, he did not have such long-term vision or ability, but he still hoped that hungry people in the world could get 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 Qin Guo was indeed a correct decision.

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

As for the Qin Guo starting wars and successively destroying five nations?

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

Would the nations have lived in peace with each other?

Clearly not!

After greeting Su Xuan, the important figure who had indirectly changed the Mohist School, Pao Ding asked Su Xuan, "I wonder what brings Master Xuantian to Sanghai?"

Su Xuan did not stand on ceremony and asked Pao Ding directly, "Shopkeeper Ding, you have operated an inn here for years; surely you are not unfamiliar with the affairs of the Confucian school. I wish to know about the current situation of the Confucian school!"

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

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

Su Xuan coming here first before going to the Little Sage Manor was indeed 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 in the world capable of doing such a thing was the Mohist School. Although the number of Mohist disciples was not as large as the Agricultural School's, it was still not small. With so many disciples hidden all over 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 Mohist people.

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

"Oh my, this ruthless character, could he have come here to destroy the Confucian school!"

Even though Su Xuan only had three people on this trip, after the turmoil of the Agricultural School, Pao Ding did not believe that three people couldn't destroy the Confucian school; it was just that the rumors in the jianghu about Su Xuan were too unbelievable.

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

Compared to his 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 Qin Guo, and he could also be considered a person of the Qin Guo.

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

Pao Ding thought Su Xuan had come to destroy the Confucian school, so to prevent angering Su Xuan, he disparaged the Confucian school in every way in his speech.

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; it seemed it was true.

Thinking about it now, the Mohist School setting this stronghold at the foot of the Confucian headquarters was likely to monitor the Confucian school's movements at any time.

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

Paper was manufactured by the Mohist School, and the earliest formula came from Su Xuan's hands.

Pao Ding believed Su Xuan knew what this was, so he did not explain much about what paper was. **Chapter 583**
