Chapter 583

Upon hearing this, Han Fei's expression changed slightly.

The hidden meaning in Su Xuan's words was "those who submit will prosper, those who resist will perish," which meant that Su Xuan's true purpose was indeed the Confucian school.

If the Confucian school was unwilling to submit, he wouldn't mind destroying it.

Han Fei's brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "I don't know what kind of mission the King of Qin has entrusted to you, but if things truly reach an irreversible point, can you show mercy... and spare the people of the Confucian school?"

"Why, are you reluctant?" Su Xuan looked at Han Fei, showing a thoughtful expression. "Also, you studied under Xun Zi; strictly speaking, you are also from the Confucian school!"

Although Han Fei was a representative figure of the Legalist school, in terms of lineage, he came from the Confucian school.

This was also an astonishing thing.

Xun Zi, a Confucian sage, had taught two Legalist disciples. If it were ordinary people, it would be fine, but the key was that either Han Fei or Li Si could be considered leaders of the Legalist school.

Han Fei's brows were stern as he looked quietly at Su Xuan.

Su Xuan and Han Fei stared at each other for a while before he said, "Rest assured, for your sake, if it truly reaches an irreversible point, I will spare them."

"Thank you!"

After a conversation with Su Xuan, Han Fei left.

Su Xuan was alone in the room. He did not immediately go to sleep but sat cross-legged on the couch, preparing to cultivate for a while.

However, Han Fei's question and the attitude he displayed made him understand some things.

"It seems Han Fei has misunderstood something; he thinks I came here to destroy the Confucian school."

"However, seeing him like this, I am too lazy to explain. Let him worry for a while..."

For a clever person like Han Fei, Su Xuan really didn't know what to say.

He didn't know what they were thinking about all day long.

Because Han Fei had thought wrong, Su Xuan decided to let Han Fei worry for a while longer as punishment.

However, the answer he gave Han Fei earlier was indeed from the heart.

Whether the Confucian school survived or was destroyed never depended on outsiders, but on themselves.

If they recognized the general trend, there might be a place for them in the new world of the future.

Conversely, if they remained obsessed and unawakened.

For the sake of the world's stability, the Confucian school could only be destroyed.

Han Fei should actually be the person who saw this most clearly.

Just because he once said ten words: "The knight uses martial arts to violate the prohibition; the scholar uses literature to disrupt the law." These ten words had already stated everything.

The next day.

The rain that had shrouded Sanghai City had stopped, and after the sun rose, the sky was bright.

A breeze blew by, bringing bursts of salty scent.

This was because Sanghai City was close to the East Sea, which was also one of the characteristics of Sanghai.

In Youjian Inn, after Su Xuan and the others finished the luxurious breakfast prepared by Pao Ding, they set out for the Little Sage Manor. It had to be said that Pao Ding's culinary skills were indeed good, and to entertain Su Xuan, a distinguished guest from afar, he had truly used all his skills to prepare the food. Su Xuan decided that after finishing the matters of the Confucian school, he would stay in Sanghai for a while longer to enjoy Pao Ding's food.

As for letting Pao Ding go to Xianyang to become his exclusive chef, Su Xuan had never thought of it.

Regardless, Pao Ding was one of the leaders of the Mohist School; clearly, it was impossible for him to become someone else's private chef.

There are no high mountains in the land of Qi and Lu.

The so-called Mount Taishan was actually not as high as imagined.

Although the Little Sage Manor was located on the highest mountain in Sanghai City, this mountain was not high; at best, it could only be considered a hill.

The Confucian school had been passed down in the land of Qi and Lu for many years, and the Little Sage Manor had existed for a long time.

Seemingly to highlight the difference of this place, the manor itself was built exceptionally magnificently.

Han Fei was very familiar with this place; he had studied here years ago. Now, returning to the Little Sage Manor, he couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy from revisiting an old place.

Along the way, he also introduced the internal composition of the Little Sage Manor to Su Xuan and Jing Ni.

Soon, the group of three arrived in front of the mountain gate of the Little Sage Manor.

Seeing the visitors, Confucian disciples immediately came forward to welcome them with a gentle attitude.

Han Fei also took out the Confucian set of etiquette, exchanged pleasantries with the other party, and then presented his visiting card.

The Confucian disciple took Han Fei's visiting card and entered the manor.

Not long after, he hurried out again and said to the three of them extremely politely, "Several guests, Sect Master Fu Nian invites you!"

Han Fei nodded.

Immediately, the three followed the Confucian disciple into the interior of the Little Sage Manor. The interior layout of the Little Sage Manor was extremely elegant. Unlike the Mohist School—although the Mohist Mechanical City was ingenious, many of its layouts were simple, as they pursued practicality—the Confucian school seemed to like the fancy set; the interior of the Little Sage Manor looked like a garden, extremely luxurious and elegant.

The reception hall of the Little Sage Manor was huge. From ancient times to the present, this reception hall had hosted countless people from the Hundred Schools of Thought.

However, since the decline of the Jixia Academy, few people from the Hundred Schools of Thought had come to visit the Confucian school.

Today, after receiving Han Fei's visiting card, the current Confucian Sect Master, Fu Nian, hurriedly came to the reception hall to wait.

Soon, three figures arrived here under the guidance of the Confucian disciple.

Two men and one woman.

Among them was a figure Fu Nian recognized.

"Junior Brother Han Fei, long time no see!"

Xun Zi was actually not a fellow disciple of the previous Confucian Sect Master, who was Fu Nian's teacher. Everything happened many years ago when Xun Zi resigned from his post as the Magistrate of Lanling in the State of Chu and, invited by the Confucian Sect Master, came to this Little Sage Manor.

Because the previous Confucian Sect Master was quite old, the two addressed each other as fellow disciples.

In terms of age, Fu Nian and Han Fei were about the same, but he had studied under the Confucian Sect Master since he was a child, so Fu Nian was the well-deserved senior brother of the Confucian school.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Fu Nian!"

Han Fei also greeted Fu Nian. He was not very familiar with Fu Nian, but whether he could complete his mission this time depended on the attitude of Fu Nian, the current Confucian Sect Master. At the same time, Fu Nian's attitude also determined Su Xuan's attitude.

After the pleasantries were finished, Fu Nian looked at Su Xuan, who was following Han Fei.

In Han Fei's visiting card, besides stating that the visitor was Han Fei, what made Fu Nian cautious was the person traveling with Han Fei.

"This must be the leader of the Yin-Yang School, Mr. Su!"

"Fu Nian, greetings, Mr. Su!"

Looking at Su Xuan, Fu Nian bowed respectfully. **Chapter 585: The King of Qin's Edict, the Confucian School in a Dilemma! **
