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

Chapter 390, Xu Qing: The Yin-Yang School? Make sure she doesn't leave alive!

Taiyi Mountain, at the mountain gate

More than twenty disciples of the Heavenly Sect stood solemnly, their gazes fixed unfriendly on the two young and beautiful women approaching the mountain gate. The leader, Qing Xiaozi, though his expression remained calm, had a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Dongjun Feiyan and Yueshen looked at Qing Xiaozi and the Tianzong disciples who were greeting them at the mountain gate. Although their expressions remained indifferent, they were prepared to take action.

The Yin-Yang School was indeed in the wrong back then; their attempt to abduct someone was extremely humiliating. Tianzong, however, treated the two with cold indifference, already demonstrating proper hospitality.

"Greetings, Master Qingxiaozi. My sister Yueshen and I have come here on the orders of Donghuang Taiyi, the leader of the Yin-Yang School, to attend the Heavenly Ren Meeting at Guanmiao Terrace."

Feiyan stepped forward, bowed to Qingxiaozi, and handed him the invitation.

Qing Xiaozi glanced at the invitation, then handed it back to Fei Yan, stroking his beard as he spoke.
"The Yin-Yang School is truly blessed. Dongjun Feiyan and Right Protector Yue Shen are indeed two of the most talented women in the Yin-Yang School. They are exceptionally gifted and have reached the Celestial Master realm in just one year."

"No wonder the Yin-Yang School only allowed you to come alone, without any other people accompanying you."

Although the Tianzong and Yin-Yang Schools had a grudge, the Tianzong took the initiative to let it go, and Feiyan and Yueshen were invited to attend the ceremony.

If Tianzong were to make things difficult for them, it would only make Tianzong appear petty.

"Master Qingxiaozi, you flatter me," Feiyan replied in a cool voice.

The Moon Goddess looked at Qing Xiaozi, a glint of light flashing in her eyes beneath her veil. She naturally understood the warning in Qing Xiaozi's words.

“Master Qingxiaozi, you are too kind. We are here to witness the covenant between heaven and man on the orders of His Majesty the Eastern Emperor. Mount Jiugong and Mount Taiyi are not far apart, and there are no villains on the road. Our safety is naturally not a concern.”

The Moon Goddess spoke slowly, her voice tinged with coldness.

"Guests are always welcome. You have come from afar and are the first to arrive at Mount Taiyi. I still need to welcome the other sects here. I apologize for the inconvenience of you two following my Tianzong disciples up the mountain." Qing Xiaozi stepped aside and gestured for them to proceed.

"Thank you, Master."

Feiyan and Yueshen returned the greeting with clasped hands and then walked towards the entrance of Taiyi Mountain.

One of the twenty-odd disciples who were responsible for welcoming them stepped forward, suppressed his displeasure, and led the two towards Mount Taiyi.

Watching Fei Yan and Yue Shen's departing figures, Qing Xiaozi sighed softly and said...

"The Yin-Yang School is full of talented people. These two young Grandmasters of Heaven and Man have unlimited potential."

The other disciples exchanged glances upon hearing this. Although they were displeased with the Yin-Yang School, they were guests and could not show their displeasure no matter how much they disliked them.

"Let's continue to wait; the envoys from the other hundred families and the seven kingdoms will be arriving soon."

Qing Xiaozi waved his whisk and turned to continue waiting for the next guests. Xue Ji was in the hands of Tianzong, who was the orthodox Taoist sect and the master of Taiyi Mountain. Naturally, the task of welcoming the envoys from the Hundred Schools and the Seven Kingdoms was to be undertaken by Tianzong.

On the other side, Fei Yan and Yue Shen followed the Tianzong disciples to the place where the guests were staying.

"I apologize for any inconvenience caused by my humble abode. If you need anything, please speak with the disciples in the main hall. There are many forbidden areas on Mount Taiyi, so if you wish to go out, please ask a disciple to guide you, and avoid causing any unnecessary trouble."

"These are your identification documents. Please keep them safe."

The disciples of the Heavenly Sect took out two tokens, each engraved with the words "Yin Yang School," which served as passes for Fei Yan and Yue Shen to enter Taiyi Mountain.

Feiyan and Yueshen accepted the tokens, nodded to the Tianzong disciples, their expressions aloof, and showed no intention of saying anything more.

Both of them were naturally aloof, and if it weren't for the fact that Qing Xiaozi was their senior, they wouldn't have said so much to each other down the mountain.

Seeing the two of them like this, the disciples of the Heavenly Sect were not angry. It was inevitable that cultivators would have a cold and aloof personality. There were many people with this personality on Mount Taiyi. So they prepared to leave.

Just as they were about to step out the door, the Tianzong disciple seemed to remember something, and turned to the two of them, saying...
"If you two see someone walking along the road while reading bamboo slips, or someone suddenly appearing in a certain place with bamboo slips in their hands and behaving strangely, please don't take offense and don't go up to disturb them. Just walk around them."

"Hmm? What does this mean?" The Moon Goddess looked at the Heavenly Sect disciple and asked in a cold voice.

"This person is a senior uncle of my Heavenly Sect. I cannot go into details. You two just need to remember what I said."

After speaking to the two, the Tianzong disciple left without looking back, leaving Feiyan and Yueshen puzzled.

After the Tianzong disciples had gone far away, Feiyan waved her hand slightly, and the door was closed. The two of them sat down at the table and looked at each other.

"What did he mean by that?"

The Moon Goddess used a secret technique of the Yin-Yang School to speak to Fei Yan through telepathy.

"I'm not sure, but since the other party specifically mentioned it, I think this person must be very important to the Heavenly Sect. Someone who's so focused on reading bamboo slips at this time, behaving strangely..."

A glint of light flashed in Fei Yan's eyes, and she replied in the same way.

She already had a general idea and answer in her mind.

"Is it Xu Qing?" The Moon Goddess frowned slightly, a glint of light flashing in her deep blue eyes beneath her veil, but then she revealed a look of caution.

Her target was Xu Qing, and her original plan was to find a way to get closer to him while he was preparing for the Heavenly Man Agreement at Taiyi Mountain.

But the other party's current state seemed very special, which made her start to rethink her plans and consider whether she should make some changes.

"It should be him. The Mohists and the people from Yan haven't arrived yet, so this is our best chance. If you need my help, I can lend a hand."

Feiyan looked at the Moon Goddess and said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the Moon Goddess immediately became alarmed, her face turning cold as she spoke in a chilling voice.
"Your mission target is Prince Ji Dan of Yan. Just do your own thing and don't interfere with my mission, lest it affect my plans."

"Xu Qing is related to the Yin-Yang School's plan to enter Qin. Before we left, His Majesty the Eastern Emperor also instructed us to help each other. I helped you get close to Xu Qing for the sake of the Yin-Yang School, not to help you."

Feiyan remained expressionless, her bright eyes fixed on the Moon Goddess, and slowly spoke.

The Moon Goddess looked at Fei Yan with suspicion and wariness. She didn't believe that the other party was so kind as to put aside her prejudices and help her get close to Xu Qing after being provoked like that.

If she guessed correctly, Fei Yan's offer to help her was clearly a pretext for her to get closer to Xu Qing.

"I think it's clearly you who want to get close to Xu Qing, isn't it? He's related to the future plans of the Yin Yang School. Your personal matters can wait. If you want to put personal matters before public duty, I will report to His Majesty the Eastern Emperor and ask him to make a decision," the Moon Goddess said coldly.

Touched on her innermost thoughts, Fei Yan merely glanced at the Moon Goddess, her red lips trembling slightly as she spoke.

"I'm doing this for the sake of the Yin-Yang School. If you've misunderstood, so be it. I wouldn't joke about the Yin-Yang School's grand plan. Since you don't want me to get involved, then I won't intervene."

After saying that, Fei Yan got up and walked towards her bedroom, leaving Yue Shen with a cold back view.

The Moon Goddess remained silent with a cold expression. She wasn't sure what Fei Yan was really thinking, but whatever Fei Yan's purpose was, she wouldn't let her take a single step closer to Xu Qing.

This mission is a duel between her and Feiyan, and also the best proof that she can defeat Feiyan.

She would absolutely not allow Fei Yan to interfere with her mission, absolutely not!

After Feiyan closed her door, Yueshen got up and walked towards her own bedroom to rehearse her plan in order to avoid any mishaps.

On the other side, Xu Qing, who was walking and reading bamboo slips on the mountain road of Taiyi Mountain, was suddenly bumped by someone, instantly pulling him out of his reverie.

"Uncle-Master, I didn't mean it. Please forgive me."

The disciple who bumped into Xu Qing immediately bowed and apologized to Xu Qing, looking extremely nervous and flustered.

Emerging from a state of mental emptiness, Xu Qing looked around at the scene with a sense of bewilderment, then at the Tianzong disciples before him.

Since being enlightened by Bei Mingzi, his speed of comprehending the I Ching has indeed increased considerably. However, he also enters a state of intense concentration, focusing all his attention on comprehending the I Ching, so he has no idea what his body will do.

Whenever he leaves this state of emptiness, he often finds himself in unfamiliar places—mountains, waterfalls, lakesides, crowds, and so on; anywhere is possible.

"It's alright, just be careful."

Xu Qing instinctively helped him up, and looking around at the scene, continued to ask...

"What is this place?"

"This is the main road leading to the guest rooms for the guests. There are less than ten days left until the appointment between the heavens and the man. In the next few days, envoys from various schools and countries will arrive. The Yin-Yang School has already arrived."

When the Yin-Yang School was mentioned, the disciple's expression instantly turned cold.

"The Yin-Yang School has arrived?" Xu Qing frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"That's right, but the Yin Yang School didn't send many people this time, only two. I guess it's because they offended the Heavenly Sect before, and they don't dare to send too many people, for fear of causing misunderstandings for our Heavenly Sect."

Seeing Xu Qing's somewhat serious expression, the disciple assumed that the other party also knew about the matter between the Heavenly Sect and the Yin-Yang School, so he began to complain.

Xu Qing was somewhat lost in thought. He wasn't interested in the disciple's complaints; he was pondering whether his earlier idea was feasible.

Although he has made great progress in understanding the I Ching during this period, he still has not found the right path for himself. Every time he is about to grasp the path, it slips through his fingers like a gentle breeze.

This made him extremely anxious but helpless.

He had originally given up on the idea of ​​learning from the Yin-Yang School because he couldn't find He Guanzi, but now that the Yin-Yang School had come to him, he thought he might as well give it a try.

So Xu Qing looked at the incessantly chattering disciple and asked...

Who are the people from the Yin-Yang School?
