Chapter 601

"Greetings, Mr. Su!"

After staring at each other for a long time, Fu Nian bowed respectfully to Han Fei and Su Xuan.

Regarding Han Fei serving as Grand Tutor in the Qin Guo, if it were the him of the past, the official position he would most want to hold would be Tingwei, but he could not help but be disheartened because of the Qin Guo destroying Korea, and he was depressed for a long time.

By the time he walked out of the depression, the position of Tingwei had already been held by Li Si; Li Si was his fellow student and equally outstanding in ability, so even Han Fei had no confidence to replace him.

However, Ying Zheng still showed him enough trust.

After he served the Qin Guo, Ying Zheng handed his most favored son, Fu Su, to Han Fei, letting Han Fei serve as the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor.

As for Su Xuan, his identity in the Qin Guo was extremely special.

He had no official position, but he could enter and leave the Xianyang Palace at will and was treated with courtesy by Ying Zheng; in terms of status in the Qin Guo, he was actually higher than many officials.

At this moment, Fu Nian suddenly bowed to Han Fei and Su Xuan and addressed Han Fei by his official position in the Qin Guo; the meaning was self-evident.

It represented that he accepted the Qin Wang's investiture and chose to become a "Doctor" of the Qin Guo.

Han Fei was a smart person; after realizing this, his expression changed somewhat.

No matter what the ending of the Confucian School would be after this, at least at this moment, Fu Nian had indeed made a correct choice.

He did not follow his own selfishness and resist the Qin Guo like many Confucian scholars in the Qilu region, but saw the general trend and then followed it.

"Sect Master Fu Nian, you have made a correct decision."

Su Xuan looked at Fu Nian and said a sentence.

Fu Nian was expressionless and nodded gently.

Before making this decision, his mood was very complex and heavy; after making up his mind and expressing his attitude in front of Su Xuan and Han Fei this time, he felt a sense of relief.

No matter if this choice was right or wrong, at least he didn't have to struggle anymore.

After confirming Fu Nian's attitude, the purpose of Su Xuan and the others could be considered completed.

Declining Fu Nian's invitation, the three of Su Xuan did not continue to stay at the Little Sage Manor, but left the Little Sage Manor and went toward the Youjian Inn at the foot of the mountain.

Watching the three disappear, Fu Nian whispered to himself, "Is this decision really right?"

"At least, it is right at the moment."

Xun Zi's voice sounded in Fu Nian's ear; Fu Nian turned his head and looked at Uncle Xun with surprise.

Xun Zi said in a deep voice, "The Qin Guo is powerful; if you want to preserve the Confucian School, you can only rely on the general trend. Of course, I know that you and many Confucian scholars do not like the Qin Guo, thinking that the Qin Guo values punishment over benevolence and righteousness, and for the sake of selfishness, ignites many wars..."

Fu Nian was silent; the Confucian School did not like the Qin Guo, apart from the Qin Guo constantly igniting wars, the main reason was that the Qin Guo valued the Legalist School and used the Legalist theories to govern the country.

Such a country, although the laws and discipline were strict, blindly advocating harsh laws while neglecting benevolence and righteousness was the most unacceptable thing for the Confucian School.

After Xun Zi stated the consistent view of the Confucian School on the Qin Guo, his tone changed again, "Since you have accepted the Qin Wang's investiture, now for the Confucian School, it is actually also an opportunity."

Fu Nian's eyes flickered.

"Since the Qin Guo has no benevolence and righteousness, then our Confucian School must be duty-bound to add some benevolence and righteousness to the Qin Guo!"

Xun Zi's voice fell into Fu Nian's ears, bringing great shock to Fu Nian.

"Uncle Xun, you..."

A smile appeared on the corners of Xun Zi's mouth, "The Mohist School joined the Qin Guo long ago; now, with the help of the Qin Guo, they have manufactured many machines and, borrowing the power of the Qin Guo, promoted them to the world, helping the common people in their own way."

"Our Confucian School is listed as a prominent school of the current age alongside the Mohist School; how can we fall behind the Mohist School?"

Hearing this, Fu Nian's eyes also showed firmness.

Yes, how can the Confucian School fall behind the Mohist School?

For the sake of the common people of the world, the Confucian School should be duty-bound!

The three of Su Xuan lived in the Youjian Inn for a few more days; when they had time, Su Xuan and Jing Ni also went to see the sea.

As for Han Fei, he did not go; it was not because he was afraid of disturbing Su Xuan and Jing Ni's world for two, but because he had studied at the Little Sage Manor and had seen the sea countless times; after seeing it too much, it was just like that.

It was Su Xuan's first time seeing the sea after coming to this world.

He rarely walked around the world.

Although he had been to other countries in the past, those countries were either located inland, had no sea to see, or he went straight to his destination and had no mood to specifically see the sea.

Even this time coming to Sanghai, essentially, he went straight to his destination.

Seeing the sea could only be said to be incidental.

The vast sea, the common people, for the vast sea, were but a grain of millet.

This world was larger than imagined, but if viewed from another angle, it was not that big.

As Su Xuan's strength became stronger, he could realize this point more and more.

Because of his powerful strength, many things that were difficult to complete, he could easily do; it could be said that for him, this world no longer had too many problems or too many secrets.

"However, it is only this world."

Su Xuan always remembered another sentence.

"There are heavens beyond heavens, and realms beyond realms!"

Even standing at the top of this world, it was just like this; one must know that outside the world, there are still worlds, and this world was not considered strong, but in the endless worlds, there would eventually be worlds stronger than this one.

"Therefore, the road is long and far, and I still need to work hard..."

Looking at the vast sea, Su Xuan sighed suddenly.
