In the main hall, the Confucians stood to the side, and Ying Xi couldn't help but laugh to himself when he saw everyone holding their breaths. The Confucians had been infinitely deified in the later generations, but in truth, when they were first established, they had a unique practical significance. It was only because of their overly idealistic goals that the Confucians had been neglected. However, the Confucians were one of the most precious treasures of China, and Ying Xi would never allow such a power to stand against the Empire.
" Everyone's solemn expressions have made Ying Xi feel uneasy. This is a place of elegance, and Ying Xi also has the heart to learn. There's no need to be polite." Xun Zi was also carefully examining this famous twelfth young master of the empire. He felt that his aura was awe-inspiring, as if he was a dragon or a tiger. Although he was young, his cultivation base seemed to be blocked by a thin layer of mist in his eyes. Although Xun Zi had a grudge against the empire, he knew that Ying Xi had come with ill intentions. He did not leave easily.
Fu Nian stepped forward and said,"The scholarly faction didn't treat you well enough. Young Master must have seen this." Ying Xi smiled." Everyone, how could Ying Xi not see the sincerity in your hearts? I've just met Teacher Xun, and both Teacher Fu Nian and Teacher Zhang Liang are old acquaintances. Only the Second Teacher of the scholarly faction hasn't met before."
At this moment, a person stepped forward and said," Yan Lu of the scholarly faction greets the twelfth young master." Ying Xi nodded and looked at this person. If Fu Nian was described as being refined with a hidden edge, then this person was truly gentle like jade. However, there were needles hidden within cotton wool, giving people a feeling that although it was cotton wool, it was also tight.
"Hmm?" Master Xun couldn't help but frown. This Twelfth Young Master was actually so direct." Young Master, the Little Saint Manor is just a group of scholars. They have no intention of becoming an official."Oh? What Master Xun said was the truth. However, the Confucian path was to help the world. Could it be that the Confucian sages only wanted to protect themselves? Moreover, the world is in great turmoil. Those who go with it will prosper and those who go against it will perish. If we can't keep up with the times, the Confucian doctrine will inevitably be eliminated by time like many things in ancient times.
The Confucians were all silent. The world was in chaos, so how could the Confucians sit idly by? But as long as one was a human, they would have scruples. There were many Confucians, and once they got involved in the court, it would mean that the Confucians would no longer be able to maintain their current aloof state. Instead, they would be embroiled in endless disputes. This was something that the Confucians found hard to accept.
Fu Nian bowed and said," The scholarly faction is deeply moved by Young Master's love and care. However, after thinking about it for a long time, the scholarly faction has no intention of interfering with the chaos in the royal court. The scholarly faction can only accept Young Master's good intentions." Ying Xi didn't seem surprised by his decision.
"Is Mr. Fu Nian's decision yours or the scholarly faction's?”，As soon as he said this, everyone's hearts tightened. Fu Nian said," Fu Nian is the Sect Leader of the scholarly faction, so my decision is the decision of the scholarly faction." Ying Xi straightened his body slightly, and his aura shook. The curtains around him fluttered, and everyone's hearts tightened. Could it be that this young master was going to turn hostile after failing to recruit him?
"Mr. Zhang San, how do you feel about Mr. Fu Nian's decision?”，Ying Xi didn't seem to notice the tense situation around him. He just smiled at Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang bowed and said,"Senior Brother's decision is the decision of the scholarly faction, and Zhang Liang fully supports Senior Brother." Ying Xi sighed." The Confucian school is truly a model of ethics. Everyone is truly admirable. However, there are some things in life that you can't avoid just because you want to." His words were rather meaningful. However, the fact that this Twelfth Young Master didn't rely on the empire to force them was already a pleasant surprise for everyone.
Even though Xun Zi was a master, he could not help but let out a sigh of relief." Young Master, since this matter has been decided, I will take my leave." Ying Xi looked at Xun Zi, who was already showing a hint of impatience." Master Xun is getting on in years. It's Ying Xi's fault for not thinking things through. Master, you should go and rest. There are many learned people here. Ying Xi still has many things to learn." Xun Zi saw that Ying Xi did not plan to leave easily. He glanced at Fu Nian, bowed, and left.
Ying Xi didn't mention any more words of recruitment, and instead began to seriously discuss the Confucian classics. Ying Xi was very knowledgeable, and although he wasn't completely familiar with the Confucian classics, he had a lot of experience. This discussion made the Confucian scholars even more surprised. They hadn't expected that this Young Master of the Empire would be so familiar with the Confucian classics that he had unknowingly turned it into a discussion of the Confucian classics.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was time to light the lamp. Zhang Liang was very intelligent. Seeing Ying Xi's interest, he wanted to open his mouth several times, but he couldn't. Fu Nian seemed to have noticed Ying Xi's intention, but he could only continue.
"It's getting late." Fu Nian bowed and said,""Young Master, are you going back?" Ying Xi said,"As the saying goes, the days are short and the nights are long."Great Confucians, you are all very knowledgeable. Today is not the time to enjoy yourself, so I might as well stay up all night and solve all the problems that I have encountered in the past few years. Isn't it wonderful? Moreover, the scenery of this Little Sage Manor is so beautiful that I really can't bear to leave. In the past few days, I've finished cleaning up the entire Sang Hai. The mission given by His Majesty the Emperor is on the right track. I'll stay in this place of elegance for a few more days to get a good taste of the aura of elegance and also let the murderous aura around Ying Xi dissipate a little."
Since the Young Master of the Empire insisted on staying, the Confucians had no choice but to agree. However, they couldn't hide the worry on their faces. Only then did they realize that this Young Master had this idea. Although Sanghai seemed calm, there were already many undercurrents. Many forces were ready to make a move. By staying in the Small Sage Manor now, he was clearly tying the Confucians to his warship. Not only did the Confucians have to bear this reputation, but he also had to ensure the safety of the Twelfth Young Master while he was in the Confucians. Otherwise, the scholarly faction wouldn't be able to escape either. In that case, the scholarly faction would definitely be involved in this matter.
" To be able to have so many knowledgeable scholars discussing this matter is truly a delightful thing. Other than the three of you, everyone else can leave." Everyone felt that they were already in a fog. Some of them were shallow and felt that the Imperial Young Master valued the scholarly faction so much, yet the scholarly faction was still so bashful. It was truly not magnanimous enough. However, the three heads of the scholarly faction felt that they were suffering and could not say anything.
Under the moonlight, the people in the hall were chatting and laughing, but they didn't know that the storm was like a knife. Ying Xi didn't mobilize many forces to the Small Sage Manor, only a few masters, Ling 'er and Ji Ruqian Long followed him. All the other forces had been hidden in the dark, and the army had been mobilized. The whole Sang Hai was guarded every three to five steps.
At this moment, a figure was walking freely on the street, easily avoiding all the sentries. This person suddenly said," Mister Wei Zhuang is really fast. He's actually already waiting for me." A person walked out from the dark. The aura in the surroundings surged, and there were several people who revealed themselves. They were the people from Quicksand.
A woman smiled and said,"Your master is also very anxious. He actually came to the Small Sage Manor alone. Isn't he afraid that those gentlemen will have evil intentions?""Miss Chi Lian is so worried about young master's safety, it's really touching. However, compared to this, I think what happens next is more interesting, right? Mr. Wei Zhuang?"
"It seems like Ying Xi has already gotten the whereabouts of those people?" Wei Zhuang sneered. "However, compared to this, your identity is more curious," the person said."My identity? I'm just a nobody. Mister Wei Zhuang is curious about my identity. I'm curious about how many people Sharktooth can kill!”Murderous intent surged in Wei Zhuang's eyes." This is something I'm curious about as well. However, whether this is the empire's loss or someone else's loss, we'll have an answer now!"
