Chapter 332: A Fire Princess Leaps from the Carriage, Stunning the Entire Confucian Society!
“Coming?”
“This carriage?”
“Who on earth is inside?”
Everyone’s expressions suddenly changed.
They hadn’t expected that the person inside the carriage, which they had just overlooked, was actually the fifth person Zhang Liang had mentioned!
For a moment, everyone became curious about the person in the carriage.
As the murmurs began, Master Xun, who had been meditating and ignoring their discussions, suddenly opened his eyes.
With a light cough, he suppressed the crowd’s chatter.
Master Xun straightened his back, his penetrating gaze fixed on the slowly stopping carriage.
Behind him, everyone’s attention was also drawn to the carriage.
Everyone was curious in their hearts.
Who was this person that could make Master Xun personally go out to greet and wait for so long?
The carriage came to a steady halt.
Then, the curtain that blocked the front of the carriage was lifted from the inside.
The scene fell into a deathly silence.
A hundred pairs of eyes were intently fixed on the entrance of the carriage, not blinking.
Finally, amid everyone’s anticipation,
the curtain was completely lifted, and a figure in red jumped down from inside.
As soon as she landed, she sensed that something was off.
Her expression froze instantly, and her dreamy, water-blue eyes scanned the crowd.
It was as if she didn’t know what to do next.
The Confucian disciples, who had been waiting eagerly for a long time, collectively held their breath.
Then they all took a gasp.
They were filled with amazement.
Such an incredibly stunning beauty exists in the world!
But although this woman was beautiful, why did Master Xun value her so much?
Could it be that the Master was seeking a twilight romance?
In an instant, incredulous gazes shifted to Master Xun’s aged back.
“Hmm?”
Master Xun sensed something was amiss.
With a blackened face, he turned to look at them.
“Why are there so many people?”
Yan Lingji, the dazzling beauty who could defeat anyone with her looks, blinked her eyes, stunned by the multitude of people waiting for her.
It took them a whole month to travel from her homeland to Qi State.
With her restless nature, Yan Lingji almost became ill from being cooped up in the carriage.
Upon hearing Li Mo mention it, she couldn’t wait any longer and jumped down.
Unexpectedly, she was met with so many pairs of eyes staring at her!
Yan Lingji quietly took a few steps back, leaning against the carriage while knocking on the carriage board.
In a small voice, she said, “Why don’t you come out? So many people are waiting for you.”
Finally, the curtain was lifted again.
Li Mo walked out slowly from inside.
The waiting Confucian disciples were stunned upon seeing him.
Why did a blind person come down?
Seeing this familiar figure, Zhang Liang involuntarily broke into a faint smile.
“Greetings, National Advisor.”
Master Xun adjusted his sleeves and performed a Confucian salute.
The Confucian disciples were astounded.
They finally guessed who this person was!
“Greetings, National Advisor.”
“Greetings, National Advisor!”
Fu Nian followed Master Xun in bowing, and the Confucian disciples followed suit.
Li Mo smiled warmly, “Greetings, Master Xun, greetings to everyone.”
Master Xun’s face still looked dark.
This didn’t mean he wasn’t welcoming Li Mo’s arrival.
It was just that he was born with such a dark complexion.
In fact, Master Xun was immensely grateful to Li Mo.
If it weren’t for him, Li Si would have probably been implicated by the Lü Buwei case long ago.
Even if he didn’t die, he wouldn’t be able to stay in Qin State.
However, now he not only avoided being implicated but had even become the Prime Minister of Qin State in just two short years.
Similarly, Han Fei also benefited.
If it hadn’t been for Li Mo’s solo mission to Han State, rescuing him from Xinzheng,
Han Fei’s fate would likely not have been any better.
At Master Xun’s age, he only had these two disciples.
And both of these disciples had their accomplishments today thanks to Li Mo.
The Confucian disciples suddenly realized.
No wonder Master Xun regarded the National Advisor of Qin State with such importance.
They heard that the paper they were using now, as well as the technique for printing classic texts, was invented by this person!
That would be enough.
More importantly, this Qin State’s National Advisor was also a figure in the Spirit Realm, just like Master Xun!
A Spirit Realm figure in their twenties!
If Li Mo only had one halo around him, perhaps it wouldn’t be worth Master Xun personally coming to greet him.
But with these numerous halos surrounding him, there was no one in the world who would dare to underestimate him!
With Li Mo attracting attention, Yan Lingji finally no longer felt uncomfortable.
“Master Xun, long time no see.”
After greeting everyone, Li Mo smiled at Master Xun.
Master Xun’s dark face finally squeezed out a smile.
“It’s been quite a wait for you, National Advisor. If you hadn’t arrived soon, I might have to leave this old body behind today.”
The last time the two met was two years ago in Han State.
During that encounter, Master Xun had even argued with Li Mo.
But this time, no matter what Li Mo said, Master Xun could only greet him with a smile.
At that time, Li Mo was just an ordinary scholar.
But now he was the National Advisor of Qin State.
Even Master Xun didn’t dare show him any disrespect.
Li Mo replied with a smile, “You’re being too modest, Master. You are certainly in better shape than the young people.”
After saying that, he turned to look behind Master Xun and said, “Zifang, it’s been a while.”
The last time he met Zhang Liang was when he went to Han State to rescue Han Fei.
At that time, Zhang Liang had said he would prepare to take over as Chancellor after Li Mo’s further studies.
Li Mo had just smiled and said nothing more.
Zhang Liang hadn’t understood why he smiled back then.
But now, he must have understood by now.
After all, Han State had long been destroyed—how could there be any talk of Zhang Liang succeeding as Chancellor?
“Liang, meet the National Advisor.”
Zhang Liang awkwardly stepped forward and greeted him formally.
Li Mo shook his head. “It’s only been two years, and you have become so unfamiliar with me?”
Back in Han State, they had worked together to establish Liu Sha.
Li Mo was a sentimental person.
He felt closer to Zhang Liang, this partner, than to Master Xun.
Zhang Liang quickly glanced at Master Xun, who was now looking serious again.
He didn’t want to be so rigid, but unfortunately, this master’s demeanor was too strict.
Just yesterday, he had scolded him for walking too swaggeringly.
What was wrong with walking swaggeringly?
Was there any law in Qi State that said one could not walk with confidence?
Even with Han Fei establishing such strict legalism in Qin State, he didn’t have that rule!
Was walking confidently a crime?
