A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

The fact that he was able to combine the strengths of Confucianism and Taoism to create a top-tier mental cultivation method shows that Wuming's comprehension and talent are in no way inferior to his own.

Xun Kuang didn't believe it. After seven years of studying abroad, Wuming Hui was still at the Innate Realm. He might have even reached the Realm of Unity of Heaven and Man!

"I hope so!"

At the city gate of Sanghai, Bai Yuan and his companions, riding in a carriage, passed through the checkpoint smoothly.

After a long journey of nearly half a month, they finally arrived at Sanghai.

Sitting in the carriage listening to the sounds of street vendors, they realized that Qi was really different from other countries.

People in other countries suffer greatly from the ravages of war, and smiles are rarely seen on their faces. However, in Qi, which has not experienced war for more than 20 years, the happiness on the faces of its people is something that cannot be seen anywhere else.

The place is full of life, and the people live in peace and contentment. This scene alone makes Bai Yuan feel that the trip was worthwhile.

Xuan Jian and Wei Qianqian looked at the city they were planning to settle in and couldn't help but feel excited.

"This is Sanghai, it's really nice!"

After entering the city, Xuan Jian and Wei Qianqian planned to say goodbye to Bai Yuan and the others for the time being.

After all, they're not going to Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

"Thank you all for taking care of us along the way! We'll get together with you all again once we've settled in!"

Outside an inn by the roadside, Xuan Jian cupped his hands in greeting to Bai Yuan and the others.

"If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to ask us for help!"

Wuming smiled and said to Xuanjian

"Haha, of course. If there are any real difficulties, we won't stand on ceremony with you."

After spending the past two weeks together, their relationship had become like that of close friends, and Xuan Jian was not a coy person at all.

After parting ways, Bai Yuan and the others boarded a carriage and headed towards Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

Before long, they arrived at their destination, and the carriage stopped at the entrance of Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

Just as they stepped off the carriage and were about to send someone to announce their arrival, they saw two men dressed as Confucian disciples approaching from a distance.

"Huh? Judging from this, do we have some important guests visiting today? The teacher didn't mention anything about it!"

"Maybe the teacher didn't tell you on purpose. After all, you look like you've been drinking. Wouldn't it be too impolite to disturb our distinguished guest?"

Chapter 47: This alone isn't enough to show sincerity.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Bai Yuan's eyes lit up.

I never expected to run into two such important figures right away.

Han Fei and Li Si!

The former was the Ninth Prince of Korea, later known as Han Feizi, the great synthesizer of Legalism.

The latter rose from a commoner to become the prime minister of the Qin Empire. His life story is truly inspiring, and Li Si made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty's unification of the world.

Unfortunately, neither of them fared well.

Now, the two of them are studying under Xun Kuang at this Little Sage Village. Judging from their conversation just now, their relationship is quite good.

Upon noticing their attire, Wuming stepped forward and asked, "Are you disciples of Confucianism?"

Upon hearing his question, Han Fei and Li Si immediately bowed and introduced themselves.

"My name is Han Fei, and this is my junior brother Li Si. May I ask what brings you all to Little Sage Village?"

The two watched Bai Yuan and the others, a sense of curiosity rising within them.

Judging from their attire, the rather handsome man can be identified as a Taoist disciple, though it is unclear whether he belongs to the Heavenly Sect or the Human Sect. The nameless man who just questioned them, though dressed like a Confucian disciple, has a demeanor more akin to a Taoist.

For a moment, both Han Fei and Li Si were somewhat puzzled.

"I am anonymous. Please inform the sect leader."

Wuming ignored their reactions and gave them a slight bow.

Upon hearing this, Han Fei and Li Si were both somewhat surprised. They immediately agreed and went inside to inform the sect leader.

Both of them had just heard clearly that Wuming directly told them to inform the "Sect Leader," instead of telling them to inform "your Sect Leader." This meant that the other party was also a Confucian disciple, and specifically a disciple of Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

"In all these years at Xiaoshengxianzhuang, I have never heard of a disciple named Wuming. It is truly strange."

Han Fei walked along the road, muttering to himself.

"Senior brother, I think you should say less. Their identities seem unusual."

Li Si still heard Han Fei muttering and quickly reminded him not to talk nonsense.

After asking others and learning that the sect leader was playing chess with their teacher Xun Kuang in the backyard, the two immediately rushed over.

Outside Xiaoshengxianzhuang, Wuming noticed that Bai Yuan seemed to have shown unusual interest ever since the two Confucian disciples appeared.

"You seem to care a lot about those two people?"

"I just found it very interesting."

Bai Yuan waved his hand, he simply found the two of them quite interesting.

"Although they look like Confucian disciples, when you asked them, they never referred to themselves as Confucian disciples. Especially Han Fei, who looked unruly and was carrying a wine gourd. He was nothing like the Confucian disciples I had in mind."

After hearing what he said, Wuming couldn't help but smile.

Indeed, many of the students at Xiaoshengxianzhuang were not actually Confucian disciples, but rather members of other schools of thought from the Hundred Schools of Thought period.

Confucianism emphasizes education for all, and it welcomes most schools of thought, even welcoming them to send people to study there.

In this process, Confucianism can also learn from the strengths of other schools of thought and make up for its own weaknesses.

That is, the so-called "three"

"Among those I encounter on my journey, there is bound to be someone I can learn from."

The group didn't have to wait long at the gate before the gate of Xiaoshengxianzhuang suddenly opened, and Lu Zhonglian, the head of the Confucian school, and Xun Kuang came to greet them.

"Sect Leader! Senior Brother Xun Kuang!"

Wuming led the way and bowed to the two.

"Okay, let's go inside first and talk about it!"

Lu Zhonglian nodded slightly and led everyone into Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

Xiaoshengxianzhuang is built against the mountain and close to the sea.

Entering through the main gate, you are greeted by a long covered walkway over the water.

The path winds and turns, with scenery that is spring-like all year round, offering endless beauty and providing a place for students to stroll and chat in their leisure time. It is also a main road leading to the village.

Walking along this winding corridor and looking at the surrounding scenery, Bai Yuan and the others felt as if their souls had been cleansed.

As they walked, Lu Zhonglian, the leader of the Confucian school, exclaimed, "We were just worried that you might have encountered some difficulties, and then our disciple came to report that you were all safe and sound. It's wonderful to see that you are all safe and sound!"

Wuming was somewhat puzzled after hearing this.

"Judging from what you're saying, it seems you knew I was coming back all along?"

"Yes, Chishongzi wrote me a letter, which was delivered to me more than a month ago."

Lu Zhonglian nodded, answering their questions.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan couldn't help but inwardly grumble.

Could it be that my senior brother is afraid that I will cause trouble in the Confucian school, so he came to give the Confucian school leader a heads-up in advance?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

During the conversation, the group moved to the council chamber.

After they were seated, a disciple brought them some tea to quench their thirst.

At this moment, Lu Zhonglian smiled and looked at Bai Yuan: "I have already heard Chisongzi mention you in the letter. Junior Brother Bai Yuan is indeed a handsome and talented man!"

"You flatter me. This unexpected visit will have to trouble Sect Leader Lu to look after me!"

Bai Yuan showed him the utmost courtesy, bowing slightly to him.

"Haha, it's not exactly sudden."

Lu Zhonglian smiled and shook his head slightly, then changed the subject.

"I've already had someone prepare rooms for you, so please settle in comfortably. We have some matters to discuss with Wuming, so please forgive us if there has been any inadequacy in our hospitality!"

"It's alright, Sect Leader Lu, don't worry about it. I'd like to take a stroll around anyway."

Bai Yuan smiled nonchalantly, which suited his wishes perfectly. He didn't stay any longer to listen to Lu Zhonglian, Xun Kuang, and Wuming reminiscing.

He bowed to them with Ningyan and Lu, and then left the council hall.

As soon as they came out, they saw Han Fei and Li Si guarding the door.

The two bowed respectfully upon seeing Bai Yuan.

"I didn't realize I was in front of my martial uncle just now, and I was impolite. I hope my martial uncle will forgive me!"

After Han Fei and Li Si reported to the sect leader, they were immediately reprimanded by Xun Kuang.

From Xun Kuang, they also learned the identities of Bai Yuan and Wuming. The former was a disciple of Bei Mingzi and a junior brother of Chi Songzi, while the latter was a junior brother of their teacher Xun Kuang.

They were all surprised when they heard the news.

It's alright to leave him nameless, since he does seem to have the air of a master.

But they really didn't expect that this pretty boy who looked younger than them could nominally be their senior uncle!

Seeing the two of them looking so apprehensive, Bai Yuan could guess that Xun Kuang must have said something to them.

He couldn't think of anyone else but Xunzi who could frighten these two future great talents of Legalism.

Thinking about this, Bai Yuan found it somewhat amusing.

"Get up, all of you! Calling me 'Uncle-Master' makes me feel so old."

Upon hearing this, Han Fei and Li Si both chuckled awkwardly, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from this attitude, there shouldn't be any problems.
