Conceptual melting pot, the fusion of all realms starting from the Qin Dynasty.

"I am back!"

The next moment, Yan Lingji's voice responded from inside the room: "Dinner is ready, Xiao Chenhao, come and eat."

Seeing Yan Lingji bustling around the room, Chen Hao smiled happily:

"Ok!"

Upon arriving at the dining table, Chen Hao pulled out a chair and sat down, then eagerly picked up his chopsticks and began to eat a plate of stir-fried vegetables.

While eating, he praised Yan Lingji, "Yan Lingji, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

"After only a few lessons, you've already mastered the art of using an iron wok to cook."

"That's right!" Yan Lingji sat opposite Chen Hao, watching him wolf down his food with satisfaction. "Although I haven't had much experience with this kind of thing before, learning it is no problem for me at all."

Chen Hao picked up the soup next to him and carefully took a sip.

Then he asked Yan Lingji, "Yan Lingji, did you manage to find out any specific information about that Crown Prince Tianze among those noble ladies today?"

Those noble ladies were people Chen Hao had met during this time at Qingpingzhai, in accordance with his plan.

They had their usual gathering today and invited Yan Lingji, so Yan Lingji didn't attend Qingpingzhai all day.

"No!" Yan Lingji shook her head silently.

Chapter 023 Banquet, Deduction, Cultivation

The fact that she couldn't find any information about Crown Prince Tianze made Yan Lingji feel slightly uncomfortable.

However, her eyes quickly lit up:

"Although I didn't find any information about Crown Prince Tianze this time, I have basically figured out the specific power distribution in Xinzheng City, or rather, in Han State, through the words of those noble ladies."

"Furthermore, through these days of investigation of those retired veterans, there is no information that Crown Prince Tianze was captured by South Korea during the war against Vietnam ten years ago."

"If King Han An had captured Crown Prince Tianze in that war, he would never have chosen to hide it, given his urgent need for merit at the time."

"so..."

Yan Lingji frowned, then said, "I suspect that someone within the Korean state may have secretly imprisoned Crown Prince Tianze."

"And it's very likely..."

"Nightfall!" Chen Hao said the rest of the sentence for Yan Lingji.

"Established and controlled by General Ji Muye of Korea, it is the deepest and most influential shadow hidden in Korea."

"If there was any force that could have secretly transported Tianze back to Korea right under Han Wang'an's nose ten years ago, it could only have been Nightfall."

"but..."

Chen Hao glanced at Yan Lingji furtively, then continued, "Tianze being hidden by the night might be even more troublesome than being imprisoned by South Korea."

“Yes!” Yan Lingji rarely showed a worried expression: “The Blood-Clad Marquis, the Jade Tiger on the Stone. The Sea Fairy, the Moon-Wearing Hermit.”

"These four henchmen, Ji Wuye alone, have thoroughly infiltrated South Korea in multiple areas, including the military, politics, finance, and espionage."

"It will be extremely difficult to obtain any information about Crown Prince Tianze from the Nightfall."

Chen Hao put down his empty rice bowl, smiled faintly, and said, "If we were to personally search for the place where Tianze is imprisoned, it would indeed be like looking for a needle in a haystack in South Korea."

"But what if we let the night itself release them?"

"What do you mean?" Yan Lingji looked puzzled.

Looking at Yan Lingji's face flickering in the firelight, Chen Hao said something unrelated, "Judging by the time, Han Fei, the ninth prince of Han, should be returning soon."

"Han Fei?" Upon hearing this name, Yan Lingji's gaze involuntarily turned to a book on the bookshelf beside her: "Is he the Confucian disciple who studied at Xiaoshengxianzhuang and wrote Legalist classics such as 'Gufen' and 'Wudu'?"

Yan Lingji blinked as she looked at Chen Hao, "Could it be that this Han Fei is quite famous in the history that Chen Hao knows?"

Chen Hao nodded, then shook his head:

"In the history of my world, Han Fei was the main representative and synthesizer of Legalism, and later generations respectfully called him Han Feizi or Han Zi."

"His ideas were even regarded as essential principles for governing the country by the later King Ying Zheng of Qin, laying a strong foundation for the Qin state's unification of the six states."

"but..."

Chen Hao smiled helplessly: "In my world, Han Fei was about twenty-one years older than King Ying Zheng of Qin, but in this world, they are actually of the same generation and their ages are not much different."

"this..."

Yan Lingji was bewildered.

However, she quickly realized what was going on and rolled her eyes at Chen Hao, "We're not discussing the differences between the two Han Feis right now, but rather how to rescue Crown Prince Tianze."

"Don't rush!" Chen Hao smiled helplessly. "Yan Lingji, think about it: Han Fei, as the ninth prince of Han, will surely want to change the current chaotic situation in Han after he returns from his studies."

"When the time comes, it will be inevitable that Han Fei will clash with the South Korean Nightfall organization."

"So if the people of Nightfall want to eliminate Ninth Prince Han Fei and don't want to leave any suspicious traces, wouldn't it be reasonable to have Crown Prince Tianze, who has been out of contact for ten years and is an enemy of Han#, take action?"

Yan Lingji is deep in thought!

After a long while, she finally looked up at Chen Hao and nodded in agreement, "There is indeed a high probability that such a thing will happen."

Then Yan Lingji excitedly got up and walked to Chen Hao, lifted his chin with her finger and gently pecked Chen Hao's lips.

Chirp!

Yan Lingji blushed and said to Chen Hao in a seductive manner, "Little Chen Hao's reasoning is very impressive. This kiss is your reward from your older sister."

Savoring the fleeting warmth of the touch on his lips, Chen Hao gave Yan Lingji a bright smile after hearing her words.

Then he stood up and hugged Yan Lingji tightly in his arms.

"Little Chenhao, what are you doing? Are you trying to bully me?"

Yan Lingji was startled by Chen Hao's sudden action, but she did not resist too much. Instead, she nestled in Chen Hao's arms with a charming expression, as if it were a normal occurrence.

Chen Hao smiled and said to Yan Lingji, "If you want to thank me, sister, a light tap won't be enough."

"It should be like this..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Hao suddenly kissed Yan Lingji's rosy lips.

"Ugh~ Ugh~~~!"

Caught off guard by Chen Hao's attack, Yan Lingji's charming eyes widened suddenly, her pupils contracting slightly.

However, after a few breaths, Yan Lingji suddenly closed her eyes and immersed herself in kissing Chen Hao...

Ha~ Hoo hoo~~ Sigh~~~!

They didn't let go of each other until they both felt they couldn't breathe anymore.

Yan Lingji leaned seductively against Chen Hao's chest, patted his chest, and said with a silly smile, "Little Chen Hao, grow up quickly."

"Once you've mastered the Yang Five Thunder Techniques, I'll grant you whatever you desire."

Although the two have only known each other for less than two months, their constant interaction has made them feel that they have each other in their hearts, and their time together has become a source of support for one another.

Therefore, Yan Lingji's words at this moment came from her heart.

Feeling the throbbing pain in his lower body, Chen Hao quickly pushed Yan Lingji away and said to her with a flushed face, "Yan Lingji, I'm going out to calm down now."

"I will practice my meditation on the cliff top at night and will not come back to rest."

After saying that, Chen Hao ran out of the room as if fleeing.

Crunch~!

Bang~!

Watching Chen Hao flee in an awkward manner, Yan Lingji couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Haha~ Haha~~!"

...

Soon after, beams of starlight and moonlight outside the room were drawn down by a figure sitting cross-legged atop the cliff, and streams of starlight and moonlight essence, like fireflies, continuously showered down upon the valley.

Soon after, Yan Lingji appeared not far from Chen Hao.

They also sat down cross-legged to absorb and refine the scattered essence of the stars and moon.

Chapter 024 The Coming Dongjun Yanfei

On the border between Wei and Han, a person wearing a black cloak and holding the "Ink Eyebrow," a token of the Mohist masters of past dynasties, looked up at the distant sky.

"It's appeared again? It seems that this person who can draw upon the essence of the sun and moon is very diligent in his cultivation."

"But this location..."

The Six-Fingered Black Knight, the leader of the Mohist school, mentally estimated the location: "This seems to be the location of Xinzheng, the capital of the Korean state."

"I wonder what the connection is between this friend who can draw upon the essence of the sun and moon for cultivation and the Qingpingzhai that recently appeared in Xinzheng, South Korea?"

As a gentle breeze blew by, the Six-Fingered Black Knight's cloak fluttered slightly, revealing a scroll of books sold by Chen Hao tucked into his belt.

Mohist disciples were scattered throughout the seven kingdoms. Not long after the paintings and calligraphy appeared at Qingpingzhai, they had already received paintings, calligraphy, and paper.
