Chapter 1092

The seventh private room in the East District.

Xunzi's eyes lit up, and he stroked his beard and laughed: "That old fellow Beimingzi really did take in a good disciple."

Fourth place on the Heaven-Gifted Talent Saint Ranking; this ranking is certainly not low.

The current situation in the Great Qin Jianghu is no better than other Jianghu, and perhaps even more chaotic.

Because other imperial dynasties have internal conflicts in the Jianghu, such as the Great Sui's struggle between the righteous and demonic paths.

Only in the Great Qin Jianghu, many descendants of the Six States among the Hundred Schools of Thought are determined to resist the tyrannical Qin.

Yet the strength of the Great Qin imperial court far exceeds that of other imperial courts, not only having terrifying factory and guard organizations like the Luo Wang, Black Ice Terrace, and Shadow Secret Guards, but also the assistance of Jianghu forces like the Yin-Yang School.

In this duel between the Jianghu and the imperial court, the Hundred Schools of Thought of the Jianghu are ultimately on the weaker side.

Even the Confucian school far away in Sanghai may not be able to stay out of it; one careless move and it would be a disaster.

In contrast, the Daoist school produced such a peerless heaven-gifted talent as Xiaomeng, who has the potential to break through to the peak Martial Saint realm in the future; at the very least, it is much more stable than other Hundred Schools of Thought.

Zhang Liang, who was to the side, looked towards Xiaomeng's private room and saw a figure walk in.

"It is the leader of the Shadow Secret Guards, Zhang Han."

Zhang Liang murmured.

Xunzi said: "It seems Xiaomeng's potential is too astonishing; even the Qin Huang has developed the intention to recruit her."

"People of the Daoist school have always valued quietude and non-action; I presume Master Xiaomeng will not accept the Qin Huang's recruitment."

Zhang Liang said, deliberating.

In all honesty, he did not want the Daoist school to lean towards the imperial court; that would be highly disadvantageous for the Jianghu.

Xunzi said: "That is hard to say; with the great era approaching, the Daoist school should not think of being transcendent."

……

The sixth private room in the West District.

Ying Zheng and the others were also discussing Xiaomeng's matter.

Just as Xunzi said, with talent as powerful as Xiaomeng's, even Ying Zheng had to attach importance to her.

A short while later, Zhang Han walked back and bowed to Ying Zheng.

Prince Fusu, who was to the side, could not wait and said: "General Zhang, what did Master Xiaomeng say?"

Gai Nie also looked over upon hearing this.

Zhang Han's trip was naturally to represent the Great Qin imperial court to recruit Xiaomeng.

But the Daoist school has always been quiet and non-active; whether the recruitment could succeed was really hard to say.

"Master Xiaomeng seems very interested in joining the Qin; I only mentioned it once, and she agreed directly."

"And observing her expression, it does not look like she is faking it."

Zhang Han said, somewhat bewildered.

Going to Xiaomeng's private room to lobby this time, he originally thought it would take some effort, or even a mix of kindness and force.

But he did not expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, Xiaomeng nodded and agreed to submit to the Great Qin imperial court, serving the Great Qin as a guest minister.

Xiaomeng being so straightforward actually left Zhang Han not knowing what to say.

Moon God, Gai Nie, and the others were also very surprised to hear this; they did not expect this matter to be so easy.

Prince Fusu said excitedly: "Great! With Master Xiaomeng joining, my Great Qin will have one more helping hand, and the other Hundred Schools of Thought will be nothing to worry about."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly.

Xiaomeng's submission not only increased the strength of the imperial court but also indirectly weakened the strength of the Hundred Schools of Thought; it could be considered killing two birds with one stone.

At present, the internal ills of the Great Qin are, one, Chengjiao, who is hiding and whose whereabouts are unknown, and the other is the Hundred Schools of Thought, who harbor malicious intentions.

Chengjiao must die, and he must also suppress the Hundred Schools of Thought.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng could not help but focus his eyes on the White Jade Platform.

The future Jianghu is a struggle of a great era; Xiaomeng only occupied the destiny of the Daoist school, which shows that the protagonist of destiny is someone else.

Compared to Xiaomeng, the identity and stance of this protagonist of destiny are the most critical.

……

"Ding!"

"The host has exposed several Jianghu secrets in the discussion, triggering shock throughout the venue; specifically rewarding 8 popularity points."
