People in the Qin Dynasty sought good fortune and avoided misfortune.

Chapter 302, Han Fei Knows Too Much

Is this how the Taoist Tianzong school records the Yin-Yang school?

Han Fei placed his hand on his chin and said thoughtfully.

This naturally piqued Xu Qing's curiosity, so he asked in return...
"So what is the Yin-Yang School like in your eyes?"

"I don't know much about the Yin-Yang School, but during my investigation of the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations, I met a friend who told me some things about the Yin-Yang School." Han Fei put his hand down, his face showing a look of reminiscence, and said in a deep voice.

"Friends?" Xu Qing was even more puzzled. In the original story, Han Fei was cursed with the Six Souls Curse by the Yin Yang School because of the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations, and eventually died in the Qin State prison.

The ones who took the blame were Li Si and Yao Jia, though it's not fair to say they took the blame entirely, since they genuinely wanted Han Fei dead.

"Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji." Han Fei slowly uttered a name that shocked everyone in the world.

"Lord Xinling? You know him?" Xu Qing asked in surprise.

However, upon further reflection, Xu Qing realized that it wasn't impossible for the two to know each other. If anyone was closest to understanding the secrets of the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions, Han Fei and Lord Xinling would undoubtedly be among them.

As the secret inheritors of the Han and Wei kingdoms, the two were also the only two people who had come into contact with or even possessed the power of the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations.

According to Han Fei, the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions represent the timing and destiny of heaven, like an invisible giant hand controlling and driving the fate and development of all living beings.

Just as King Wen of Zhou hid this power in seven bronze boxes, after a century of development during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the state that possessed the seven bronze boxes would become one of the Seven Warring States.

It seems like it was preordained, and the meeting and acquaintance between Han Fei and Lord Xinling seems quite plausible.

"It was just a chance encounter, but it all seemed to be driven by an invisible force. He once told me that the Yin-Yang School had a close relationship with the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions. Based on what he told me and my subsequent investigation, I discovered two things."

Han Fei lowered his voice slightly, as if he were talking about some dangerous secret.

“Go on, I’m not afraid of the Yin-Yang School,” Xu Qing said calmly.

Others might be afraid of the Yin-Yang School because they have connections to the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon. But Xu Qing is not afraid at all. In fact, even if the Yin-Yang School doesn't bother him, he will take the initiative to cause them trouble.

There's no other reason than that he has a good teacher.
Han Fei glanced at Xu Qing, his eyes filled with envy. The Yin Yang School was one of the major schools of the Hundred Schools, yet Xu Qing looked down on it so much. Who could blame him when the other party had a behemoth like the Daoist Heavenly Sect behind him?

Although he had Xunzi as his teacher, the Confucian scholars wished they could kill him.

"Ahem, the first thing is the countries where the Yin-Yang School is located, namely Chu and Yan. Yan is the only one among the seven countries with the Ji surname, and its ancestor was Duke Shao."

"The State of Chu is even more interesting. The ancestors of the State of Chu were the Xuanyuan clan. The people of Chu have a long tradition of worshipping the gods and have composed a set of shamanic music called the Nine Songs, which has been passed down from generation to generation. The Nine Songs consists of eleven chapters: Donghuang Taiyi, Dongjun, Yunzhongjun, Xiangjun, Xiangfuren, Dasiming, Shaosiming, Hebo, Shangui, Guoshang, and Lihun."

"Used to separately worship the gods of heaven, the gods of earth, and human spirits!"

Han Fei's expression turned serious, and he looked intently at Xu Qing as he continued speaking.
"The second thing is that the Yin-Yang School has a secret treasure called the Illusionary Sound Box. This box seems to be closely related to the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon, and may be the key to unlocking this secret."

"Brother Han Fei, do you know? You know too much."

Xu Qing looked at Han Fei with a deep gaze. He finally understood why the Yin-Yang School was willing to risk being expelled from Qin to murder Han Fei in the Qin prison. It was because this guy knew too much.

For a moment, Xu Qing began to wonder if Han Fei was also a time traveler like him? Otherwise, how could he know so much?

If Han Fei hadn't been murdered by the Yin-Yang School, and had been given more time, he might have truly figured out what the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions were.

"I know, because I know too many secrets, so sometimes I'm scared myself, but it's okay now, I have you to share the burden with me."

Han Fei smiled easily, stretched, and said.

Han Fei knew the value of the information and secrets he knew, so he never told anyone else about them, for fear of implicating others.

But Xu Qing was different; in his eyes, Xu Qing was already an involved party.

"Hehe, the Yin-Yang School might not dare to attack me, but they will definitely attack you. It's best to never talk about these things with anyone else again, and don't let the Yin-Yang School know that you know about these things." Xu Qing patted Han Fei's shoulder and said in a deep voice.

Han Fei was one of his few friends, and he didn't want this friend to get involved with the Yin-Yang School because of these things.

Xu Qing knew of the power of the Yin-Yang School. Although he claimed he was not afraid of the Yin-Yang School, it was only because he had the protection of He Guanzi Lao Deng. Han Fei, however, was different.

Han Fei only has the state of Han behind him, and whether Han can withstand the schemes of the Yin-Yang School is probably not a problem.

"It seems you know more than I thought, Brother Xu. I will give your advice serious consideration. But having said all that, let's get back to you. Haven't you always wanted to know why I said you were already involved?"

Han Fei nodded seriously, then went on to talk about his second purpose in inviting Xu Qing.

Seeing that they had finally gotten to the point, Xu Qing perked up and began to speak.

"I think I've guessed a bit. You suspect that I have contact with or control over the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations in the Cold Palace, and may even have come across the secret behind them, right?"

"That's right, Brother Xu, you've finally admitted it." Han Fei smiled smugly and gave himself a thumbs-up in praise.

Since learning about Xu Qing, Han Fei has noticed that Xu Qing can always choose the most advantageous outcome for himself, no matter what he does, as if he knows the future and can avoid misfortune.

Moreover, Xu Qing's rise from a minor medical officer to the current Imperial Physician has made him famous throughout the land, which seems to be a sign of divine intervention.

Therefore, Han Fei guessed that Xu Qing must have also obtained the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions in the Cold Palace, and even used it to comprehend the information left by King Wen of Zhou, which is why he was able to do so.

"What if I said I've never been in contact with the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations?" Xu Qing asked Han Fei earnestly.

After Han Fei told her what he had told her, Xu Qing herself was no longer sure what the fortune-telling and luck-avoidance divination in her mind really meant.

He transmigrated to this world with a cheat system, which seems like a standard transmigration story.

However, the secret hidden in the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions that Han Fei mentioned was the ultimate principle of the operation of heaven and earth behind the Hetu and Luoshu, and the pursuit of good fortune and avoiding misfortune, as well as fortune-telling, were all related to the Hetu and Luoshu, which made him somewhat waver.

Moreover, Han Fei always said that he stepped into the river of time and witnessed his own death.

If this is true, and his fortune-telling relied on predicting the future to avoid misfortune and attract good fortune, it seems similar, yet different.

For a moment, Xu Qing began to waver, wondering if the fortune in his mind was really related to the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions.

Looking into Xu Qing's serious gaze, Han Fei realized that Xu Qing was not lying. Perhaps the other party really had not come into contact with the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon, but the strangeness of the other party was inexplicable.

"Perhaps you came into contact with it without your knowledge, but you just didn't know it," Han Fei said in a deep voice.

"Is that so? Perhaps, but it doesn't matter anymore. I have no interest in the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions. Although I believe in the existence of destiny, I am more convinced of the power of human beings."

Xu Qing looked at Han Fei, his eyes gleaming, and slowly spoke.

He didn't care about the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions or the River Chart and Luo River Book, but the tide was now in Qin's hands.

The Qin state achieved its current state through the hard work of six generations of rulers. Perhaps it was destiny that chose the Qin state, but the contributions of successive Qin rulers and the people of Qin are indispensable.

Which is more important, timing and destiny or personal effort? This is a question without an answer, and Xu Qing doesn't want to dwell on it. He just wants to change the world as much as he can within his capabilities.

If the overall trend cannot be changed, then he will try to change the minor trends.

“I knew I hadn’t misjudged you. My teacher also said that human will can overcome nature, so I went back to South Korea.”

Han Fei looked at Xu Qing and said with a light smile, his eyes full of praise but also revealing a hint of loneliness.

Although he and Xu Qing shared the same idea, their choices differed. He chose to go against the tide, while Xu Qing and his junior brother Li Si both chose to go with the tide.

As for the final outcome, only time will tell.

"Brother Han Fei, I will remember what you told me, but I hope you will not tell these things to anyone else. The Yin Yang School is not so easy to deal with." Xu Qing sighed softly and patted Han Fei on the shoulder.

If Han Fei were to enter Qin again, he would do everything in his power to protect him. However, Han has been thrown into chaos by him, and King An of Han only has Han Fei as his son, making it highly unlikely that he would allow him to enter Qin.

But based on his understanding of King Han An and Ji Wuye, this was not impossible.

"I understand. If the Yin-Yang School targets me, Brother Xu, you must save my life, otherwise I won't be able to repay the wine I owe you," Han Fei joked.

"How many drinks and favors do you owe me? I don't have that kind of bad debt here," Xu Qing said, crossing his arms.

Once Han Fei enters Qin, he can expect to work for him. He wants to change Qin and the world, and he can't do it without a few professionals by his side.

As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, several bells rang out above the Han King's Palace, and Xu Qing and Han Fei also put away their smiles.

"The court meeting is about to begin, so I won't accompany Brother Xu any longer. The inner palace is fraught with danger, so please be careful," Han Fei said to Xu Qing, cupping his hands in greeting.

"Brother Han Fei, rest assured, my ambition has not yet been fulfilled, so naturally I will not be buried in the deep palace."

Xu Qing returned the greeting to Han Fei.

"Then I'll take my leave first."

Han Fei nodded slightly and then headed towards the front of the court.

Xu Qing took a deep look at Han Fei's departing figure, shook his head slightly, and headed towards Mingzhu Palace.

What Han Fei told him today was too shocking and unsettling, so he had to seek comfort from Madam Mingzhu and Lady Hu to calm his pounding heart.
