Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 78 Where are the Nine Tripods of King Yu Now? A Second Sage Emerges and the World Is at Peace

Xianyang, inside the Prince's Palace. ✊🍟 69998.cs ✌♧

"Brother! I need your help urgently!"

"The last three billion! This is the final payment for materials!"

"After this, I completely mastered the compilation language of the Ancient God Stream Mechs! You simply can't imagine how refined this language is. It discarded the previous arrangement language of the spell series and created a pictographic resonance theory! Qin Feng, who invented this, is simply a genius! He's practically inhuman! It's impossible for a human to create something like this!"

"Big brother, don't look at me like that. I'm really clear-headed. I'm still your brother. I haven't been drugged. I just want to achieve something."

Fusu silently drank his tea, not even glancing at Huhai, who was clutching his leg and weeping bitterly.

Of the nearly forty princes and princesses in the royal family, Fusu's favorite was his younger brother Huhai. However, this time, Fusu was also struggling to cope.

These days, Hu Hai comes to cry for help every now and then. At first, it was a small amount of tens of millions, then it escalated to a small goal, and then dozens of small goals!

Let's not even talk about whether Fusu had money!

Even if Fusu is rich, he can't withstand his younger brother's crazy waves of gold coins!

Those in the know understood that Hu Hai was conducting scientific research.

Those unaware of the inside story might have thought Hu Hai was indulging in debauchery.

But then again, even indulging in lavish parties wouldn't cost that much money!

If he really had to choose, Fusu would rather his younger brother indulge in a life of debauchery and extravagance than have him do any scientific research!

But now, Fusu understands that it's impossible to make a different choice. You're already on the wrong track. If you don't pay the material fees and don't learn the final core code, all your previous tuition fees will be wasted.

Thinking of this, Fusu felt an urge to tear someone to pieces!

At this moment, Fusu was not the only one in Xianyang who was seething with hatred. From the old Qin royal family to the new nobles of the empire, everyone was being slaughtered by the Qin Feng brand nuclear-powered leek harvester.

Everyone is caught up in the obsession of "tiger parenting." They don't want to spend any more money, but when they see other children learning real skills, they feel like they're losing out, so they spend money too. But then they regret it, and so it goes on and on.

Qin Feng, the instigator, felt even more aggrieved.

I had good intentions and taught you the latest technology of the Ancient God Mechs, including programming languages ​​and rune architecture, all for free. In the end, you all accused me of cheating you out of your money!

Heaven above, is that considered deception?

That's at most a sunk cost!

The birth or breakthrough of any technology or scientific research result requires a large amount of sunk costs!

To do scientific research, you need the courage and determination to throw money down the drain; otherwise, don't do scientific research!

Besides, I didn't force your kids to come to my class. They insisted on coming. I originally planned to take three to five students, but now there are more than a hundred!

I can't remember the names of many students. Every time a huge group of them come, it's like a swarm of bees. They're relatives from this family and cousins ​​from that family. It makes me feel a lot of pressure every time I teach!

And yet, I accept a few gifts from students, and you all call me heartless! You even accuse me of extortion!

So you guys from Qin are trying to get something for nothing, and you even expect me to pay for materials and feed the students, right?

is it possible?

If you parents can't handle even this level of "tiger parenting," are you even qualified parents?

When problems arise, don't always blame others. Sometimes look for the reasons within yourself. Have your salaries increased over the years? Have you been working diligently?

As night fell, the prison was locked in a death row.

"That concludes today's classes! There's no evening study session tonight!"

"The homework is Chapter 6 of the Ancient God Random Slot Code Language from today's class. Copy it five times. Brother Yi will collect the homework tomorrow morning!"

"get out of class dismissed!"

As usual, Qin Feng tapped the table, and the more than one hundred students below said their goodbyes.

"Brother Qin!" Meng Yi approached and said in a low voice, "I've brought you the things!"

Qin Feng asked, "Really?"

Meng Yi said proudly, "Of course it's true! The King gave my brother three jars of fine wine last time, but my brother has a very low alcohol tolerance, so he's been storing them away. I brought them to you!"

Qin Feng hesitated, then asked, "Won't your brother beat you up when he gets back?"

Meng Yi said, "How could that be? My brother treats me very well! And ever since he heard that I started learning armor forging, he's been praising me for being promising! My father, Meng Wu, even said that my brother should learn from me and stop just spending his days fighting and killing!"

Qin Feng nodded, "Not bad, not bad!"

Meng Yi winked and said, "That little homework assignment..."

"Oh—" Qin Feng took out a small booklet from his pocket. "This is a practice booklet of the structural diagrams for three of the simplest original models of the Ancient God School mecha. Go back and practice slowly! Slowly copy them! You'll definitely be able to surpass them!"

Meng Yi patted Qin Feng on the shoulder excitedly, "That's great! Okay, I've left the wine with you, drink it slowly, there are three big vats of it!"

Meng Yi happily skipped away with his workbook in hand.

Qin Feng watched the retreating figure and sighed inwardly, "Knowledge is indeed wealth!"

As for the imperial wine sent by Meng Yi, Qin Feng didn't intend to drink it himself; he only intended to use it to entertain guests.

Having been in Xianyang for over a month, Qin Feng has finally managed to contact both Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang. Tonight is the perfect time for the disciples of the Horizontal and Vertical Alliance to enjoy a drink together.

Back at his lodgings, Qin Feng put the three vats of imperial wine into a bamboo basket and headed straight for the place to drink: the South Gate Tower of Xianyang Old City.

The South Gate Tower is a famous place. Shang Yang once erected a wooden pole here, which earned him the reputation of "a wooden pole erected at the South Gate ensures no loss of gold".

Xianyang has expanded considerably, but the old city still retains its appearance from 3,000 years ago. To enter, one must undergo multiple layers of identity verification.

Qin Feng is now quite famous; everyone in Xianyang knows him.

"Tonight, I, Qin, have suddenly been thinking of the strategists of the past and would like to go to the old town for some nighttime inspiration. Brothers, would you be so kind as to grant me this favor?"

"Young Master Qin, you truly cherish the memory of your senior! You are so kind and righteous! Let him pass!"

"Take care, Young Master Qin!"

Qin Feng greeted the officers at the Court of Justice warmly, leisurely driving his carriage through checkpoint after checkpoint. ♨🐺 ❻➈ˢℍ𝕦𝕏.ᑕỖᵐ 🍬💋

Just as they passed the last checkpoint, a high-ranking official from the Court of Justice, in his sixties, greeted them with a smile, "Young Master Qin, how have you been in Xianyang lately?"

Qin Feng chuckled and said, "It's alright!"

The leader pulled a cell phone from his pocket. "Young Master Qin, I have something to show you!"

Qin Feng took the phone, and a familiar figure appeared on the screen, leading a child, boarding an interstellar passenger spaceship, and disappearing from sight.

It's teacher Zhang Beihai!

The video was probably from last night.

The teacher left Da Qin last night!

The head of the Court of Justice said meaningfully, "My surname is Cui! I am the Deputy Minister of the Court of Justice, and later appointed as the Chief of the Imperial Stud!"

Qin Feng chuckled and said, "Master Cui has done me a great favor! What do you need? Just say it!"

Cui Puling smiled and said, "I have no other request, I just want to inform Young Master Qin that this small matter has been settled and there will be no future problems! Young Master Qin, please rest assured!"

Qin Feng handed the phone back to Cui Puling, smiling, and said, "In another month or so, I'll be starting a project, and Cui Puling can get involved then!"

Cui Puling had been waiting for Qin Feng's words!

Ever since Zhang Beihai told him that he could make money by following Qin Feng, Cui Puling was excited on his way back. He was so lucky to have gotten in touch with Qin Feng, a favorite of the king. He was sure that he would get good results!

Cui Puling said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, Young Master Qin! Please take care, Young Master Qin, the scenery of this old city at night has a unique charm!"

"Alright!" Qin Feng laughed. "Then, I order you to stay!"

Cui Pu watched the young man gradually disappear into the distance with his hands behind his back, and sighed inwardly. This was the epitome of dashing and debonair young man!

On the south gate tower of the old city, Qin Feng placed three vats of imperial wine, each half a person tall, and sat atop the old city wall, gazing at the magnificent new city of Xianyang not far away.

At this moment, Qin Feng felt a sense of cyberpunk martial arts.

In the distance, spaceships flew endlessly, flying cars soared, mechs converged, and lights shone brightly.

The old city of Nanmen beneath my feet is made of earthen bricks and tiles, with white walls and black eaves, and is extremely simple and rustic.

This is truly a scene that is both fragmented and harmonious.

Good evening!

A melodious laugh rang out.

Qin Feng looked up and saw Gai Nie, dressed in a white robe, arriving gracefully atop the city gate tower!

Gai Nie, true to his reputation as a connoisseur of wine, immediately noticed the special qualities of the three vats upon arrival. His eyes lit up instantly. "This wine is at least eight hundred years old, a royal brew! Even His Majesty wouldn't normally drink such a thing. Where did you get it?!"

Qin Feng chuckled and said, "This wine was originally a gift from the King to Meng Tian, ​​but Meng Tian's younger brother, Meng Yi, gave it to me to curry favor with me!"

Gai Nie gave a thumbs-up, "Awesome!"

As he spoke, Gai Nie opened a jar first, took a big sip, and his face was full of comfort and refreshment.

Qin Feng asked, "Didn't Senior Brother Wei Zhuang come?"

Gai Nie said, "He doesn't have the habit of arriving early!"

Just then, a gust of black wind howled, but a high-pitched baritone voice could be heard, "Why didn't you just say I was late?"

A magnificent man suddenly appeared before them. He wore a black and gold robe, had long white hair draped over his shoulders, a chiseled face, and a shark tooth sword hanging from his waist!

It was none other than Wei Zhuang, the leader of the Quicksand!

Qin Feng hurriedly said, "Greetings, Senior Brothers!"

Gai Nie raised his hand and said, "According to the sect's rules, you are our senior uncle."

Qin Feng laughed in a down-to-earth manner, "We're not in the sect yet! Outside the sect, we call each other fellow disciples. Once we're back in Ghost Valley, we'll talk about seniority!"

Wei Zhuang unsealed the wine jar with one hand, laughing as he said, "Disciples of Guigu are best at adapting; everyone has their own perspective, no problem!"

Gai Nie frowned and said, "Isn't that inappropriate?"

Wei Zhuang glanced sideways. "Even Junior Uncle hasn't said anything was wrong, so what could be wrong with you, a junior disciple?"

Gai Nie said, "Junior disciple, hehe! Don't forget, among the three of us, you are the youngest! When did it become your turn to speak?"

Wei Zhuang raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean!"

Seeing this, Qin Feng thought to himself, "This is bad! What I feared has come to pass!" He was just afraid that the two of them wouldn't get along, but it turned out they couldn't even exchange a single word!

Seeing that the two were about to start a full-blown fight, Qin Feng could only try to mediate, saying, "Senior brothers, why bother with such a trivial matter!"

Gai Nie laughed, "That's right, it's a small matter, why bother? Unlike someone else, who is petty and narrow-minded."

Wei Zhuang sipped his wine, "It's better to be meticulous than to be careless and irresponsible by some person!"

Qin Feng awkwardly smiled and said, "In that case, I'll drink first as a sign of respect to my two senior brothers!"

As he spoke, Qin Feng downed almost half a jug in one gulp, feeling refreshed and invigorated, his mind clear and his eyes bright. "Awesome!"

The second senior brother also accepted the wine and took a sip, finally stopping the commotion.

Qin Feng could completely understand Master Guigu's helplessness at this moment. Every time he saw his two disciples, he probably felt more overwhelmed than when he saw his two ancestors!

But to get back to the point, wasn't Master Guigu's headache even greater when he saw himself than when he saw his two ancestors?

The night breeze ruffled Gai Nie's long hair as he recited, "Have you heard about Master Meng's recent notification to the major powers that he wants people to travel the world?"

Wei Zhuang said, "Such a momentous event, of course I've heard about it! I just wonder if the effect of this 'Second Sage Traveling the World' is as good as that of Confucius's travels throughout the world!"

Gai Nie said, "When Confucius traveled the world, he wasn't a sage yet. He only became a sage after he finished traveling the world! Now, the 'quasi-sage' is only one step away from becoming a sage. He's infinitely close to the level Confucius reached when he traveled the world. After finishing his journey, the 'quasi-sage' should also take that step and try to reach the level of a sage!"

Qin Feng was somewhat confused by his second senior brother's words. Wasn't Master Meng only telling him about the World Traveler? How did they both know?

Qin Feng asked, "Senior brothers, may I ask what brings this matter?"

Gai Nie said, "Junior Uncle has been busy these days skinning the old Qin people in Chang'an alive, so it's normal that he doesn't know. Speaking of traveling the world, there are two types: one is called disciple cultivation, and the other is called suppressing the world! Ordinary schools of thought would occasionally send a few disciples to travel the world, just to allow the disciples to cultivate more and make more good connections. These are all minor matters! But the second type, suppressing the world, is not minor matters! It is..."

Wei Zhuang narrowed his eyes and continued, "Slaughtering all around! Suppressing the entire world with his own strength! Once upon a time, in the late Spring and Autumn Period, after the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, the right path appeared, the unorthodox sects caused trouble, the Gu Dao, the spirit writing, the Qi-eating practitioners of the Undying Mountain, the Qi-refining practitioners of Shouyang Mountain, the remnants of the Investiture of the Gods, and countless evil sects emerged one after another."

"In that chaotic era, not only ordinary people, but even feudal lords and kings lived in fear. The world was on the verge of collapse. Confucius traveled the world, leading seventy-two disciples and three thousand followers, eradicating all heretical doctrines and evil practices! He restored order to the world, suppressed all the masters of that era, and became the Supreme Sage and Teacher! He was worshipped by the people of the world! From that time on, Confucianism became the foremost school of thought among the Hundred Schools of Thought!"

Qin Feng suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. According to what my two senior brothers said, traveling the world is an act of sweeping away evil sects by the Masters on their own. They are only sweeping away heretical sects, not much different from a prestigious sect like our Ghost Valley!"

Gai Nie, holding the wine jar, took a sip. "This connection isn't huge, but it's not insignificant either! Generally speaking, the prevalence of unorthodox sects is often related to prestigious sects! Take our School of Diplomacy, for example. The organization 'Quicksand' is an unorthodox sect nurtured by the School of Diplomacy. When Master investigates Quicksand, Wei Zhuang, won't you panic? Don't pretend! It's a lie to say you won't! People will definitely die in Quicksand! It's just a matter of how many!"

Wei Zhuang raised an eyebrow. "We're actually doing alright! At least the Strategists only keep a 'Quicksand' organization, and Quicksand does legitimate business! They never do anything that goes against the natural order! Even if Master investigates Quicksand, it's far from the point where they'll be shut down and wiped out! On the other hand, the Taoists, Yin-Yang School, and Mohists are all shrewd and cunning. Each of them has countless shady businesses and unorthodox sects under their command. Master might just wipe them all out and cleanse them completely!"

Qin Feng asked, "Master, with your ruthless methods, won't the people of the world be angered?"

Gai Nie laughed, "Anger? What's there to be angry about? Confucianism is the foremost school of thought among all the philosophers. This reputation isn't just for show! It's based on real strength! Normally, a school of thought is considered very powerful if it has even one sage, but how many sages does Confucianism have? As far as we know, there are at least four living sages! Confucius's three disciples, Yan Hui, Zeng Shen, and Zisi! And then there's Mencius, who surpasses even a sage and is second only to the Supreme Sage Master!"

"Four sages from one family! Let alone any of the other schools of thought daring to challenge Confucianism, even if all the other schools of thought attacked Confucianism together, Confucianism wouldn't back down!"

"Moreover, the Confucian school has a legitimate reason for this attack! Master Mencius, who is traveling throughout the land, has already warned everyone to be careful. This is an open strategy. If they can't even calm down during these crucial and high-pressure periods of Master Mencius's travels, then they are disrespecting Master Mencius!"

"That guy who didn't give Confucius face last time, Confucius scattered his ashes and extinguished the fire at his ancestral grave!"

"This time, Master Meng will be even worse; he might even destroy your very life!"

"From another perspective, this also shows that these unorthodox sects have gotten out of control. Unorthodox sects that cannot be controlled by reputable sects have no need to exist in this world!"

"And what Master Mencius wants to purge are these disobedient and out-of-control heretical sects! Many of the various schools of thought are looking forward to Master Mencius taking action to eliminate these leeches and bloodsuckers who are entangled with them but whom they cannot easily take action against! So, instead of being angry, everyone will be very happy! They will clap their hands and celebrate Master Mencius going to kill people!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng took a deep breath, his heart filled with boundless admiration for Confucius and Mencius. 🐊👑 ❻➈𝕤卄υ乂.𝔠𝓞ⓜ ♣♡

In Qin Feng's mind, those so-called number one masters in the world were all hiding in some unknown corner, enjoying the praise of others every day, but they were of no use to the world or the martial arts world! To put it nicely, they were mascots! To put it bluntly, they were selfish people! They didn't deserve to be called the number one in the world!

The true number one in the world is one who sweeps away all evil and upholds justice!

I will do what others cannot do, I will manage what others dare not manage, and I will kill what others dare not kill!

With my own power, I will suppress the entire era!

Cleanse the world of all corrupt and wicked forces, restoring order and justice to the world! That's what it means to be the best in the world!

This is what it means to suppress an era and subdue an era!

Wei Zhuang said, "What you said is only one aspect, the aspect for the people of the world. For the Master, there is also his own aspect, which is to collect the dragon veins and destiny of the world to become the Supreme Sage and Teacher!"

Qin Feng asked with great interest, "Senior Brother Wei Zhuang, what do you mean by that?"

Wei Zhuang said, "The truth of this rumor is uncertain. Junior Uncle, just take it as a joke. Legend has it that in the late Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius's original intention in traveling the world was not to eliminate the villains, but to collect the Nine Cauldrons of Fortune!"

Qin Feng was taken aback. "The Nine Cauldrons of Destiny? Could it be the Nine Cauldrons of Yu the Great, forged by King Yu and passed down from the Xia and Shang dynasties?"

"That's right!" Wei Zhuang said. "Legend has it that after King Yu unified the world, he divided it into nine provinces, taking the essence of each province to forge nine cauldrons. The cauldrons were engraved with mountains, rivers, the sun and moon, and the common people. Later, during the war between Shang and Zhou, a fire broke out on the Star-Picking Tower, and King Zhou died, taking the cauldrons with him. The Zhou Dynasty did not obtain the cauldrons. Later, the Zhou Dynasty left behind Wu Geng, a descendant of King Zhou, hoping to obtain the whereabouts of the cauldrons from him. However, Wu Geng's death caused the collapse of the supercontinent, and at the same time, the cauldrons completely disappeared!"

"King Zhou investigated for many years. Although he reforged the Nine Tripods of the world in the new universe, in the eyes of many people, these tripods were not the Nine Tripods at all and could not contain the destiny of the world. The biggest proof was that the feudal lords became states and no one listened to the orders of the Zhou royal family."

"Confucius's hometown was the State of Lu. The State of Lu was the most legitimate and highest-ranking branch of the Zhou royal family. Confucius and the King of Lu had an excellent relationship. The King of Lu once had the good fortune to obtain a map of the Nine Tripods from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, which recorded the appearance and texture of the Nine Tripods, and even the possible locations where they might exist. He asked Confucius to help him find them!"

Confucius had no ambition to be the ruler of all under heaven, nor was he interested in vying for supremacy, so he refused.

"King Kelu said, the world is no longer what it used to be. The new universe and the supercontinent are incompatible. Even if the old Nine Cauldrons are recovered, they cannot be unified!"

Confucius asked, "Since it's useless, why bother looking for it?"

"Lord Lu said, 'The Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period brought about the rise and fall of the world. Now the Zhou royal family is in grave danger, but the human race cannot be destroyed. Finding the Nine Tripods can leave a way out for the people of the world. That is, the destiny of the Nine Tripods can preserve the human race for a breath of life, so that it will not be completely wiped out by the conquests of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period!'"

"Confucius then carried these Nine Tripods and illustrated records, traveling to various states during the Spring and Autumn Period, and in the process, he purged all the heretical and unorthodox schools of thought throughout the land! This is what people call his 'traveling the world'!"

Qin Feng listened with great interest, "So, in the end, did Confucius collect the Nine Tripods?"

Wei Zhuang shook his head. "It's hard to say. Some say they collected them, and that Confucius used the Nine Tripods to extend the world's lifespan by 1,800 years! That is, the Warring States period after the Spring and Autumn period! Otherwise, humanity would have gone extinct two thousand years ago!"

"Some say that it was not collected. If it had been collected, the world should have ended its chaos and returned to one country, but it has not returned to one country!"

"There are many conflicting accounts of what happened here, but one thing is certain: the Master traveled the world, attained the title of Supreme Sage Teacher, and became the first unparalleled powerhouse to advance to the twelfth realm!"

"From then on, even the sages of the eleventh realm were like ants in the eyes of Confucius, who was at the twelfth realm!"

Qin Feng said, "The tenth realm is the Land Immortal, and above the Land Immortal, the Saint is the eleventh realm?"

Gai Nie nodded, "That's right! Master Meng has been stuck at the eleventh realm of Sainthood for many, many years. This time, he's aiming for the Nine Cauldrons, and also to break through to the twelfth realm of Supreme Sage Master!"

Qin Feng exclaimed, "That's really impressive!"

Gai Nie added, "Actually, for the seven kingdoms, it was a great time for Master Meng to travel the world!"

Qin Feng asked, "What do you mean?"

Gai Nie said, "The great era of strife is about to begin, and the seven kingdoms are sharpening their swords. The biggest reason why the seven kingdoms cannot afford to fight is that they cannot bear the consequences of human extinction!"

"Once Master Meng completes his journey across the land, it means he can collect the Nine Tripods. With all nine tripods gathered, the fate of humanity will be guaranteed. No matter how fiercely humanity fights, it will retain a glimmer of hope and will not be wiped out!"

"Once humanity finds a bottom line for survival, the seven kingdoms will no longer hold back. They will go all out, annexing each other and ushering in a true era of great conflict!"

"Therefore, Mencius's travels throughout the land were not only the expectation of the Hundred Schools of Thought, but also the expectation of the rulers of the Seven Kingdoms! The twenty or thirty years that Mencius traveled would be the last peaceful days before the great strife of war!"

"When the Master finishes his journey across the land, it foreshadows the start of the War of the Seven Kingdoms, and the arrival of an era of great strife!"

Qin Feng nodded, "I see! Master Meng's journey across the land must have attracted quite a bit of attention!"

"Of course!" Wei Zhuang shook his empty wine jar, then looked at Gai Nie's jar. "I know this part well! Give me your wine, and I'll tell you!"

Gai Nie was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He could only open a hole in his wine vat, and the wine flowed into Wei Zhuang's wine vat through the opening.

As Wei Zhuang drank, he said, "When Confucius traveled the world, he caused countless deaths and rivers of blood! The opportunities he encountered were also immense! His three thousand disciples were all powerful figures! Half of his seventy-two initial disciples were tenth-level terrestrial immortals, and three even directly achieved the eleventh level, becoming sages! His disciple Zilu even gained near-immortality! The Confucian school instantly became the number one school in the world!"

"Now that Master Meng is traveling the world, those who follow him will surely receive an unparalleled boost to their destiny, and their future cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds! At the very least, they are guaranteed to become a terrestrial immortal of the tenth realm! With good luck, becoming an eleventh-realm saint is not out of the question!"

"Think about it carefully. In just twenty or thirty years, you can cultivate to the tenth or eleventh realm! Isn't this an incredible stroke of luck?"

Qin Feng's eyes widened. "My God, this is truly incredible luck! It's like the heavens are feeding us!"

Wei Zhuang laughed and said, "That's right! So, the key is who can travel the world with the Master!"

Qin Feng asked, "Then who will be lucky enough to travel the world with the Master?"

"Well—" Wei Zhuang said, "It's hard to say! It depends on Master Meng's preferences! Master Meng is a very solitary person. He's not like Confucius, who enjoys being in a lively atmosphere. Confucius likes to gather in groups of three or five, all together! Master Meng always prefers to be alone!"

"I reckon that after traveling the world, Master Mencius would have met no more than a thousand people, and would have made no more than thirty disciples!"

"As for his personal disciples, Confucius himself only had about two dozen disciples who were always with him, like Zilu. Mencius probably didn't have more than three!"

Gai Nie added from the side, "This is actually quite easy to calculate! Let's count the carriage driver! Zilu was Confucius's carriage driver! In the end, he received the greatest opportunity—immortality! The one who drove Mencius's carriage must have had the greatest fortune!"

"Secondly, we need a cook! The Masters travel the world, so they must take care of their own logistics. The job of cooking is quite lucrative. Zengzi's father was a butcher, and Zengzi was trained in cooking from a young age. Later, he became Confucius's cook, and Zengzi later achieved the eleventh level of mastery!"

"Finally, we need someone to make contact! Confucius encountered many difficulties during his travels, and it was thanks to his students that he was able to find help everywhere. Mencius, being of high rank, needs a messenger!"

"It's not hard to tell that this trip by Master Meng involves at least three people! The coachman is the most desirable, followed by the cook, and then the errand boy! These three are almost certain to be at the eleventh realm, a great opportunity!"

Wei Zhuang leisurely gazed at the bright moon not far away, "I wonder which lucky boy will be chosen by Master Meng!"

Looking at his two senior brothers, Qin Feng was secretly overjoyed!

Previously, Master Mencius made him drive the carriage, which he thought was a punishment, but he never expected it to be such a great blessing!

I, Qin Feng, will take on this job of driving the carriage. Anyone who tries to take it from me, I'll do it!

Of course, Qin Feng can't reveal everything yet. The job of traveling around the world isn't fully clear yet. At least the cook and the errand boy haven't appeared. It's not too late to talk about it when they do, so as not to make headlines and attract hatred.

Qin Feng took a sip of wine, suppressing his elation. "Hey, senior brother, speaking of which, let's talk about our School of Diplomacy, Ghost Valley. I've noticed that after other schools finish the Grand Gathering, they all enter the sect to study. The military strategists learn military tactics, the agriculturalists learn herbs, but doesn't our School of Diplomacy have any lessons?"

Faced with Qin Feng's words, the two senior brothers exchanged a glance and then fell silent.

Qin Feng said, "Senior brother, we Ghost Valley students don't have any homework? Really?"

"This!" Gai Nie rubbed his hands and said, "It's rather complicated. Because there are relatively few people in the School of Diplomacy, their education system didn't develop like the other schools of thought. Instead, they encouraged free learning. When I first joined the School of Diplomacy, my master told me that there were books in the caves behind the mountain, and I should read them myself. After that, he never bothered me again."

Wei Zhuang looked away and said in a serious tone, "When I first entered Ghost Valley, I spent two years sweeping snow on the mountain. I discovered some sword techniques left by the senior Zongheng in front of the mountain, and that's when I created my own technique."

Listening to his two senior brothers' words, Qin Feng understood in his heart that he was doomed. In this sect, it was truly a case of the master leading you in, but the rest of the cultivation depended on the individual!

Gai Nie said, "Junior Uncle, don't overthink it. You can't blame Master for being irresponsible. The main problem is that everyone in the School of Diplomacy cultivates differently. Some are good at techniques, some are good at martial arts, so we can't teach them in the same systematic way as the other schools of thought! Just like you, you like everything, how can we teach you? We can't!"

Qin Feng nodded. "That makes sense!"

As if remembering something, Gai Nie took out a letter from his pocket. "Oh, right, Master asked me to give this to you!"

Qin Feng took the letter, feeling its weight, and without much thought, put it in his pocket.

At this moment, the eastern horizon was already showing the first light of dawn, indicating that the night had passed and daylight was approaching.

Qin Feng then said, "I have two more small matters I'd like to ask my two senior brothers!"

Wei Zhuang said, "Speak frankly!"

Qin Feng first unbuttoned his shirt, then, shirtless, faced his two senior brothers, saying, "Senior brothers, look! A flower has sprouted on my back. Heavens, it's so alluring! I can't wipe it off no matter what I do!"

Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie looked over and saw a fiery red, blooming, enchanting flower on Qin Feng's left shoulder.

Just one glance.

Wei Zhuang's eyes narrowed. "The Other Shore Flower!"

Gai Nie coldly replied, "Soul Imprint!"

Qin Feng was a little confused. "What is this thing?!"

Wei Zhuang stared at Qin Feng, "Junior Uncle, have you offended someone?"

Qin Feng said, "Offended people? I've offended a lot! Who are you talking about?"

Gai Nie rubbed his cheek, seemingly troubled, and said, "A woman, an extremely beautiful young girl! She wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a fairy!"

Qin Feng pondered for a long time before saying seriously, "I have offended quite a few people recently, but they are all nobles from Xianyang, mostly men. As for women, let alone offending them, I haven't even seen many of them! How could I have offended them! Moreover, they are the fairy-like girls that my senior brother described. If there really were such a stunningly beautiful fairy, I would definitely never forget her! But I don't remember ever seeing such a stunningly beautiful fairy!"

Wei Zhuang crossed his arms. "This is interesting. Who would bother planting 'ghost flowers' on you for no reason?"

Qin Feng was taken aback. "Viscount flower? I've only heard of virginity mark."

"These two are the same thing," Gai Nie said, "but this is much more powerful than the 'virginity mark'! To put it simply, when a man and woman fall for each other, this flower will be planted. Once one of them loses their virginity and betrays the other, that person will immediately die!"

Qin Feng asked warily, "No way! Does that mean I'll die if I get close to a beautiful woman?"

Wei Zhuang said, "Otherwise what?"

Qin Feng looked distressed. "Senior brother, how do we get rid of this thing? I'm so young, I'm bound to make mistakes like this in the future! Maybe I won't even be able to help myself..."

Gai Nie comforted Qin Feng, "Don't be so pessimistic! This thing has a binding force on you, and it also has a binding force on the girl who planted this flower. It's a two-way binding force. If she wrongs you, she'll also be bound to it! Besides, this thing is easy to break. You just need to find the girl who planted this cursed flower on you, and be close to her, and it will be automatically lifted!"

Qin Feng said, "The problem is, I don't even know who she is!"

"Oh, this!" Wei Zhuang said, "The one who could curse you must possess your belongings and your birth date and time! Think about it carefully, who knows your birth date and time, and your personal items?"

Gai Nie said, "Judging from the way the flower is blooming, it is the most dazzling and beautiful spider lily. Spider lilies are often associated with fairies and beauties, and the fact that it is in full bloom means that this woman is at the peak of her beauty in her prime! Think about it carefully!"

Qin Feng pondered for a moment, then pulled out the marriage certificate. "The daughter of Xi Shi! Only this woman meets the requirements. She has my personal item, a purple clay wine pot, and my uncle Jing Ke even went to propose marriage. He must have told her my birth date and time!"

Gai Nie nodded. "It can only be her. Junior brother, don't worry anymore. Anyway, you and she have broken the bond of fate. If she wrongs you, she dies; if you wrong her, you die. She is the daughter of Xi Shi, and you are just an ordinary citizen. You're guaranteed to win!"

Wei Zhuang laughed heartily and said, "That's right, Senior Brother is right. No matter how you calculate it, Junior Brother, you're guaranteed to make a profit!"

Qin Feng said with a bitter face, "I only used the marriage certificate as a talisman, why would she take a liking to me! Could it be that my Uncle Jing Ke told her I admire her very much? No way, my Uncle Jing Ke should be very reliable..."

Gai Nie said, "I've heard of this girl. She's said to be an unparalleled beauty, the most beautiful woman in the world. Junior brother, you've definitely struck gold!"

Wei Zhuang said, "I think her name was something like Ninth Sister!"

Gai Nie said, "Yes, it's Ninth Sister!"

The two senior brothers were already laughing so hard they could barely contain themselves as they spoke.

Seeing their junior master, who was riding high on his success, suffer such a setback was absolutely gratifying for the two seasoned veterans!

You chose this yourself! Idol!

Whose fault is this?

You deserved to be betrayed by your own fiancée! Look at how pathetic you are! Think about all the unfortunate old Qin people in Xianyang who were harmed by you.

So you, Qin, have finally met your match!

Of course, the two wouldn't tell Qin Feng that with their abilities, they could remove the curse at any time!

However, both of them were harboring wicked intentions and wanted to see Qin Feng make a fool of himself, but they refused to say that they could help remove the curse!

Gai Nie coughed and said, "Junior Uncle, I still have duties to attend to, so I won't chat with you any longer. If you need anything, come find me in the inner court. By the way, please get my mecha on the agenda as soon as possible, don't delay! You said it would be delivered within three years!"

Wei Zhuang added, "And my mecha, you promised to deliver it within three years! Don't delay, see you later! See you later!"

The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on the south gate of the old city.

On the massive south city gate, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang were nowhere to be seen. Only Qin Feng stood alone and conflicted on the gate tower. "When did I agree to build mechs for you two? Am I drunk?"

Compared to his two senior brothers getting his mecha for free, Qin Feng was more worried about Ninth Sister. Wasn't this girl a bit too domineering? You want to plant a virgin flower in me? You have to ask for my consent first! Aren't you trying to force me to do this?

Ten thousand words!! Not a single word left!
