Seize the opportunity to be cannon fodder?It's better not to ascend at all

"I wonder why the girl is interested in me?"

The scholar said gently, not at all offended by Yin Yue's abruptness.

"The aura of righteousness in you is very strong."

Yin Yue stated her purpose straightforwardly. Through these simple exchanges, Yin Yue understood that the scholar in front of her was a true gentleman and there was no need to beat around the bush.

"Huh? Is the girl also a Confucian disciple?"

The scholar asked curiously.

Different cultivation methods such as righteousness, Buddhism, magic power, Taoism, etc. have the same goal, but they have different forms of expression.

Meng Xiu also found a trace of awe-inspiring righteousness in Yin Yue, but it was hidden deeply.

"I am not a disciple of Confucianism, but I have studied Confucian scriptures and am very interested in the teachings of saints."

"Is that so? If the girl is really interested in the saint's teachings, I am willing to exchange my experiences with the girl."

Meng Xiu smiled gently, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

Yin Yue quickly gained Meng Xiu's trust. During the conversation, Yin Yue learned Meng Xiu's identity.

Meng Xiu, a descendant of the Confucian Yasheng, had just entered Jindan. This time he came to Xianyang City just to participate in the discussion of various schools of thought.

As a descendant of Yasheng, Meng Xiu can be called a gentleman in his words and deeds. Compared with the hypocrite Yun Qingming, Meng Xiu's character appears to be extremely noble.

"Did the girl also come to Jixia to participate in the discussion among hundreds of schools of thought?"

Meng Xiu asked.

"Yes, I have that intention. But Brother Meng, can a person like me who is not from a hundred schools of thought also participate in this discussion?"

It was easy for Yin Yue to gain favor with a gentleman like Meng Xiu.

In just a few words, Meng Xiu changed from Master Meng to Brother Meng.

"Haha, girl, you can rest assured. The Hundred Schools Discussion is open to the entire world of immortality. No matter whether you are a member of the Hundred Schools or not, you can come and participate."

Meng Xiu smiled and said, "When hundreds of schools discuss Tao, we don't talk about cultivation. It only tests the understanding of hundreds of schools of thought. After all, we are discussing Tao."

"Brother Meng, what is the process of discussing a hundred schools of thought?"

In her previous life, Yin Yue had only heard about hundreds of schools of thought discussing Taoism, but had never participated in it.

"When hundreds of schools discuss the Tao, first each of the hundreds of schools selects outstanding disciples, and then they hold discussions among the schools in Jixia Academy."

Yin Yue rolled her eyes, "Brother Meng, if I participate in the Confucian discussion, can I still participate in the Mohist discussion?"

Meng Xiu felt a little strange, "Since the girl has participated in the Confucian discussion, why should she participate in the Mohist discussion? My Confucian theory conflicts with the Mohist universal love."

"I'm just asking, if you participate in one school's discussion, can you also participate in other hundreds of schools' discussions? After all, there are similarities between the hundreds of schools of thought."

Meng Xiu thought for a while and replied, "It should be... okay? But this has never happened."

"I understand, thank you Brother Meng for clearing up the confusion."

"If you want to learn more about my Confucian righteousness, you can join Jixia Academy."

A look of pride appeared on Meng Xiu's face, "Jixia Academy is the number one academy in the world of cultivating immortals."

Yin Yue shook her head, "That's all, I already have a master, and I am a cultivator of immortality. According to the regulations of Jixia Academy, cultivators of immortality are not accepted, right?"

Immortal cultivators can minor in hundreds of schools of thought at Jixia Academy, but they will not be recognized as formal disciples by Jixia Academy.

Even Yun Qingming, who pretended to be so cool when discussing Taoism in Jixia Academy, was not able to obtain the official disciple status of Jixia Academy.

Although, the title of honorary deputy head of the family is much better than the official disciple of Jixia Academy.

"Jixia Academy has teachings without distinction. As long as you come to study, Master will teach you Confucian exercises."

Yin Yue nodded, this is true.

In the previous life, when Yin Yue came to Jixia Academy to learn the Baijia Kung Fu, the teachers at the academy did not hide their secrets at all, and taught Yin Yue everything they needed to teach.

Yin Yue and Meng Xiu talked happily, but when Meng Xiu left, he was still a little reluctant.

"If the girl is free, could I invite her to come out for a party?"

Yin Yue readily agreed, "No problem." If he could get to know more Confucian disciples through Meng Xiu, it would also be good for Yin Yue's plan.

The next day, Yin Yue and Qian Qian were preparing to go out.

"Sister Yue, let us sleep a little longer, meow!"

Qian Qian leaned next to Yin Yue and rubbed her head on Yin Yue's forearm.

"Cats need plenty of sleep, meow, and there's no point in me following you, meow."

Yin Yue pushed Qian Qian away, "Qian Qian, you are also a half-demon in the foundation building stage after all. How can I defeat you with this difficulty?"

Qian Qian reluctantly put on her hood to cover her cat demon features, and followed Yin Yue out the door.

As soon as the two entered the street, they met Meng Xiu.

"Brother Meng!"

Yin Yue said hello.

"It's Miss Chenxing."

Meng Xiu smiled gently and looked at Qian Qian, who was wearing a hood next to Yin Yue.

"Who is this girl?"

"This is my sister, Qianqian."

"It turns out to be Miss Qianqian."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, and suddenly a rough voice sounded.

"Meng Xiu, are you enlightened?"

Meng Xiu's tone was a little helpless, "Brother Kong is joking, this girl is a friend I just met yesterday."

Three men dressed similarly to Meng Xiu came over. The leader was a nine-foot-tall man, and it was from him that he made fun of Meng Xiu just now.

"Is that right?"

Kong Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at Yin Yue.

"I don't know the girl's name, but I am Kong Xi, Meng Xiu's senior brother."

"Chen Xing."

Yin Yue looked indifferent and there was no emotion in her tone.

Kong Xi looked at Meng Xiu, "Junior brother, why don't you introduce me? This girl Chenxing looks a little indifferent."

Meng Xiu had an apology in his eyes, "I'm sorry, Miss Chenxing, Senior Brother Kong Xi is just a little too enthusiastic."

Immediately afterwards, Meng Xiu introduced the others who were traveling with him.

Kong Xi, a descendant of a Confucian saint, was in the middle stage of Jindan cultivation, and his righteousness was not inferior to that of Meng Xiu, and his physical body was even more powerful, and his qi and blood were rich enough to be seen with the naked eye.

Another somewhat feminine man, holding a folding fan in his hand, was named Lu Nan. His cultivation at the peak of the foundation period was almost the same as that of Yin Yue, but his righteousness did not seem to be pure.

The last man with an ordinary face was taciturn and relied on Meng Xiu for almost the whole process. His name was Tong Haochen. He was not a Confucian disciple, but a Mohist disciple.

Several people had made an appointment to travel together, and it was just by chance that they met Yin Yue.

"What chance? Since we met, it's fate. Miss Chenxing, if you don't mind, how about you go boating with us?"

Kong Xi said carelessly and extended an invitation to Yin Yue.

"Senior Brother Kong, isn't this inappropriate?"

Meng Xiu was a little hesitant. It was only the second time that he and Miss Chenxing met. Was it too abrupt to invite her now?
"It's okay."

Yin Yue said, "It is Chenxing's honor to travel with all of you."

"Don't worry about etiquette, we are all our own people, we don't have to pay too much attention to it."

Kong Xi waved his hand and called to the others, "Take the boat and let's go."

Yin Yue did not hesitate and led Qian Qian to follow the four of them.
