17. All of Great Qin owed that person a favor.
Not long after, they arrived at the Small Sage Manor in Sanghai City.
The Small Sage Manor was indeed a place of Confucianism. The carved pavilions and upturned eaves showed the style of Qilu architecture.
Zi Cong, Zi Mu, and the other disciples were being punished to memorize the Five Classics because they had violated the precepts.
Seeing that the person who had come was as beautiful as the Startling Salamander, who was ranked tenth on the Golden Roll, he hurriedly threw down the bamboo slip and crawled in to report.
Not long after, the Second Head of the scholarly faction, Yan Lu, arrived to receive him.
Their scholarly faction was all-inclusive and the sea was filled with rivers. Even if the people from the Network came, they were not afraid to entertain them.
Yan Lu wore a light fur coat and looked graceful. He cupped his hands slightly, showing the demeanor of a Confucian.
"I am Yan Lu of the scholarly faction. I wonder why Lord Startling Salamander has suddenly come to visit.”
He looked at the two women. The two of them supported each other like a pair of sisters. When he looked at the appearance of the frightened salamander, he could not help but be shocked.
He couldn't help but recall when he was young by the sea. It seemed that the previous Startling Salamander had come to assassinate his senior brother.
Shixiong had a conversation with the pregnant former Startling Salamander, which made her realize her mistake and escape from the trap. Shixiong also committed suicide in order to complete her mission.
The woman in front of him was obviously the daughter of the previous Startling Salamander. He did not expect that the two of them would still be fated to meet after so many years.
He saw through fate but did not say anything.
When Tian Yan saw that the person who came was so polite, the urgency in his heart eased by 30%. He also bowed and said,
"I have something important to ask of Mister Xun Zi. Mister Yan Lu, please inform him.”
Yan Lu didn't expect her to know his martial uncle. Although he was a little surprised, he didn't ask further.
"I'll go inform the sect master first. Please follow me!" he said gently.”
The three of them walked in the Small Sage Manor. They saw winding corridors, verdant flowers and trees, pine cranes, rocks, pavilions, and pavilions.
Under the porch, the lotus pond swayed, the fog was empty, and there were pine and cypress trees that grew green, chrysanthemum and plum trees that were proud of frost. Even the imperial garden was not as elegant.
Although the farmhouse Tian Yan lived in was also lush with green trees, it lacked a unique atmosphere.
Tian Yan and Ah Wu waited in the pavilion for a while, and all of the Scholarly Sages rushed over.
Chief Fu Nian was elegant and extraordinary, and his every move had a luxurious temperament.
When he saw that it was Tian Yan, who was at the bottom of the rankings, he was not surprised. Instead, he asked enthusiastically,
"Lord Startling Salamander, you have just come from the Great Marsh Mountain farm.”
When everyone saw the introduction of Tian Yan's identity on the golden roll, they were all rather surprised that she had suddenly rushed over from the peasant family to their scholarly faction.
"Mr. Fu Nian, I'm no longer a person in the net, just call me Ah Yan!”
From the moment Tian Yan's identity was exposed, he had made up his mind to cut ties with the Network.
"I came here today to entrust my little sister, Ah Wu, to the scholarly faction. The other matter is regarding a scabbard!”
Although Tian Yan had said that she wanted to cut ties with the network, the scholarly faction sages knew very well that she had so many important identities and was definitely an important target of the network.
Young Master Fusu had once paid a special visit to the Confucians and had even brought the Six Sword Slaves of the Network with Zhao Gao to 'discuss the Dao of the Sword' with the sages. He could be considered to have some friendship with the Empire and the Network.
If they were to openly protect the relatives of the people Luo Wang wanted, it would undoubtedly cause the entire scholarly faction to be in trouble.
Disciple Zi Yan's face changed greatly and she hurriedly said,
"Chief, you can't! Our scholarly faction has always been neutral. If we help the Startling Salamander now, it's no different from declaring that the world is opposing the Empire and the Network!”
His disciples could not help but discuss.
"This Startling Salamander is not only a net killer, but also a farmer chivalrous leader, a member of the royal family of the Wei Kingdom, and other identities. He has a great connection with the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations.”
"At that time, not only will the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and the remnants of the Six Nations be watching us, but the eyes of the world will also be on us.”
However, there were also disciples who were willing to help Tian Yan.
"Since she is a chivalrous leader of a peasant family and a relative of the Wei Dynasty, our scholarly faction has always been known for our benevolence and loyalty. If she doesn't help her now, wouldn't our scholarly faction be ridiculed by the world!”
However, the voices of opposition were obviously more intense. Fu Nian and Yan Lu were also deep in thought.
Ah Wu's pair of black eyes rolled as he stared at their discussion. He was obviously a little disappointed.
If her martial arts had not been crippled, she would not need the protection of these rotten scholars!
"Since Miss Startling Salamander has a request, our scholarly faction will do our best to serve you!”
When the scholars heard this clear and otherworldly voice, they couldn't help but look towards the door. They knew in their hearts that their martial uncle had come out.
A person with a sage-like bearing walked over with a clear and handsome aura. It was the Confucian Grandmaster, Xun Zi.
He was also holding a scabbard in his hand. The scabbard was imprinted with the word '7', and there were also patterns and patterns that looked like evil spirits on the scabbard.
Tian Yan and Ah Wu could not help but stand up, their eyes burning.
They knew very well that this was the scabbard of the Thousand Demon Blades.
Xun Zi was originally in the middle of a private conversation and was in high spirits.
When he heard that it was Startling Salamander who wanted to see him, he directly left the game and returned to the Small Sage Manor.
After that battle back then, the scabbard of the demon blade was taken care of by Xun Zi. Thus, he knew that the Startling Salamander had come to retrieve the scabbard.
Xun Zi saw that Tian Yan was travel-worn and his face could not help but reveal a trace of guilt. He bowed respectfully and said,
"Miss Startling Salamander, please forgive me for being late in welcoming you.”
None of the sages could believe that their martial uncle was so respectful to this net killer.
Tian Yan returned the greeting." Mr. Xun Zi, you don't have to be too polite. Ah Yan has come to disturb you."”
Ah Wu knew that the Confucians valued rites and music the most. Seeing Xunzi today with such comprehensive etiquette, he was indeed extraordinary.
"Martial Granduncle, it's not a problem for us to keep them for a night or two. If we keep protecting them, we'll be in trouble.”Zi Cong was still unwilling to let it go.
"In order to repay that person's favor, our scholarly faction will not hesitate to do anything, even if it means a mountain of blades or a sea of flames, let alone water or fire.”
The Confucian sages couldn't help but gasp.
"How big of a favor is it?!" Zi Cong was puzzled.”
Xun Zijiong's eyes shone brightly as he said in a clear voice,"
"Not only do we Confucians owe him a favor, but even the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, and even the entire Great Qin Empire owes him a favor!”
If these words were said by a disciple, no one would believe it. However, when it came from Xun Zi's mouth, everyone had no choice but to believe it. They were all stunned.
They seemed to have heard of the legend of that person, but they did not know much about the secrets.
"Martial Uncle, what exactly happened back then?" Fu Nian couldn't help but ask.”
Xun Zi's gaze was clear, and the events of the past seemed to surface in his pupils.
"Back then, if it weren't for that person, my scholarly faction would have been destroyed long ago.”
"It's not just our scholarly faction; the entire Great Qin will probably suffer a great calamity.”
"Since he's already dead, it's not convenient to say anything more!”
Hearing Xun Zi's recollection, Tian Yan and Tian Yan's eyes were filled with grief.
Xun Zi wrapped the scabbard in silk and returned it to Tian Yan. He said somewhat reluctantly,"
"After that battle, I took care of the scabbard for him. Now, it can be considered to be returned to its original owner.”
The Thousand Blades Demon Blade was full of demonic nature, and only the scabbard could suppress its demonic nature. However, the body of the blade was nowhere to be found.
When Tian Yan touched the scabbard through the silk, he felt as if he was touching Ah Qi himself. The string of thoughts in his heart was triggered again.
Before Tian Yan could thank him, Xun Zi asked,""How should I address this young lady?”
"I don't have a surname. My first name is Wu. You can just call me Ah Wu.”
Ah Wu still had a good impression of Xun Zi and felt a little close to him.
"Ah Wu, Ah Qi, haha…I understand!”Xun Zi was very polite. He knew that they were related, so he did not ask much." I'll take care of you personally in the future!"”
All the disciples standing at the side were extremely envious. None of their current generation of disciples had been personally taught by Xun Zi.
Tian Yan knew that she had entrusted the right person, and the stone in her heart was put down. This way, she could look for Ah Qi without any scruples.
In order to hide her identity, she often said one thing and meant another. At this moment, she sincerely thanked him,
"I, Tian Yan, will definitely remember the kindness of the scholarly faction.”
At this moment, in an inn, the delicacies of the Divine Chef Pao Ding had already been delivered.
Xun Zi wanted to stay for dinner, but he realized that she had already left.
Tian Yan flew out of the Small Sage Manor in a few leaps. She put on the black mask with spider web patterns again.
Without any burdens, she once again transformed into a hunter in the dark night. On her way to Da Ming, she still had to constantly guard against the presence of other hunters.
