Yin Yang School

Xianyang's main street had far fewer flourishes than Shenyang's.

Pedestrians on both sides watched Verdant Green Maiden and her entourage head towards the Royal Palace. It was as if she had entered through the city gates and directly into the palace, quickly arriving at the grand hall!

Inside the hall at this moment, King of Qin Ying Zhu was discussing matters with Ying Zichu.

Lady Huayang sat to one side.

"Your Majesty!"

A soldier rushed in from outside the hall, shouting in alarm, "Your Majesty, this is bad! An intruder has entered the palace!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Verdant Green Maiden was heard muttering, "Are there such beautiful intruders?"

On the throne, Ying Zhu's brow was tightly furrowed. Upon seeing Verdant Green Maiden, Ying Zichu's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in astonishment, "Mister Shao Dian?"

"Shao Dian?"

Ying Zhu was taken aback.

Verdant Green Maiden raised her hand and greeted Ying Zichu.

"Husband!"

Behind Verdant Green Maiden, Zhao Ji called out to Ying Zichu. Her eyes were filled with a myriad of emotions, but none of the affection of a long-lost reunion.

Verdant Green Maiden glanced back at her and gave Afang a look. Afang understood immediately and supported Zhao Ji.

While appearing to be helping her, Afang was actually dragging her along to prevent her from making any inappropriate moves. Verdant Green Maiden didn't care if she lived or died, but she couldn't let it affect Ying Zheng now!

"Madam? You've returned too? And this must be... Zheng?"

Ying Zichu looked at Ying Zheng on the other side, his expression filled with emotion.

"Zichu!"

Lady Huayang softly called out to Ying Zichu.

Hearing the voice, Ying Zichu looked up at Lady Huayang, then bowed to her and Ying Zhu, saying, "Father, Mother! This is the wife Zichu married in Handan, Zhao Guo – Zhao Ji! This is Zheng, Zichu's son! The bloodline of Great Qin!"

Upon hearing his words, Lady Huayang's expression changed slightly, not looking pleased.

But Ying Zhu laughed and beckoned to Ying Zheng.

"Boy, come here! Come to King Grandfather!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng didn't move. He first looked at Verdant Green Maiden. Verdant Green Maiden coughed lightly and gave him a look. Only then did Ying Zheng quickly walk towards Ying Zhu.

Ying Zhu watched Ying Zheng approach him, his smile growing brighter.

His body wasn't in great shape at the moment, his face a little pale, but he still put on a kind and approachable demeanor for his grandson. He gently ruffled Ying Zheng's hair and asked with a smile, "Your name is Ying Zheng?"

Ying Zheng nodded, "Yes, King Grandfather, your grandson's name is Ying Zheng!"

"Who gave you your name?" Ying Zhu asked again.

Ying Zheng turned to look at Verdant Green Maiden and said, "Master gave it to me!"

Ying Zhu's gaze also fell upon Verdant Green Maiden. Upon seeing her appearance, he frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and then asked, "Have you studied?"

"I have! Law, Mohism, Military, Confucianism, Daoism, Agriculture... your grandson has studied them all!"

Ying Zheng nodded.

Ying Zhu heard this and asked again, "Did your Master teach you these as well?"

"That's right! Master taught me!"

After Ying Zheng nodded in response, Ying Zi Chu cupped his hands towards Verdant Green Maiden and exclaimed with emotion, "Thank you, Master, for raising such a good child for me!"

"Indeed!"

Ying Zhu also nodded in agreement, "Truly a good Master! May I ask this Master's name?"

"Shao Dian Verdant Green Maiden!"

Verdant Green Maiden replied, without any courtesies.

Seeing this, Lady Huayang was slightly displeased. She said, "As a Master, why do you not even understand these basic courtesies? When speaking to our Great Qin King, you should bow your head! Truly..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she received a gaze from Verdant Green Maiden.

Verdant Green Maiden wore a smile on her face, but Lady Huayang found it chilling and immediately shut her mouth, ceasing to speak.

Only after she fell silent did Verdant Green Maiden withdraw her gaze.

Ying Zhu took all of this in. He didn't say much, merely bestowed much wealth upon Verdant Green Maiden and instructed Ying Zi Chu to properly settle Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji! However, after the gathering dispersed, he kept Verdant Green Maiden behind alone.

"Master, walk with me for a bit!"

Verdant Green Maiden's gaze fell upon Ying Zhu, and she nodded slightly, "Alright!"

The two left the hall and arrived at the Imperial Garden of the Royal Palace.

Ying Zhu began to speak with Verdant Green Maiden about King Zhaoxiang. After a long while, he finally brought up Ying Ji and Verdant Green Maiden's meeting. He said in a gentle tone, "When the Former King was alive, he once went to Luoyi. There, the Former King met an Immortal!"

"That Immortal, was it Master?"

After Ying Zhu finished speaking, more people gradually appeared in the Imperial Garden.

They weren't servants, but people from the Yin Yang School!

Verdant Green Maiden swept her gaze over them, then waved her hand towards the sky. A Birdie flew down and landed on Verdant Green Maiden's shoulder. Verdant Green Maiden raised a finger and rubbed its head, saying, "The Imperial Garden is ambushed, and you didn't tell me sooner!"

"Stupid Snake, it's clearly because you weren't paying attention!"

Birdie retorted.

However, neither Birdie nor Verdant Green Maiden took these Yin Yang School members seriously.

"Master, aren't you afraid?"

Ying Zhu, after seeing Verdant Green Maiden and Birdie chatting, wasn't surprised by the talking bird. Instead, he was surprised by Verdant Green Maiden's attitude at the moment!

"Should I be afraid?"

Verdant Green Maiden tilted her head upon hearing this.

She swept her gaze over these people and scoffed, saying, "I've fought with their ancestors. These people's ancestors were from Tian Yuan Palace, right? Now they've changed their name to the Yin Yang School! I've even beaten their ancestors, let alone them. What is there to fear?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zhu took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Truly an Immortal!"

The leader of the Yin Yang School's pupils contracted upon hearing Verdant Green Maiden's words, and he said in shock and anger, "So you are the snake demon our ancestor wanted to capture? Great King, be careful, she's a demon..."

"Yes, yes, yes, I am a demon!"

Verdant Green Maiden nodded, having no intention of arguing with them. She retorted, "You brats, who have only lived for twenty or thirty years, have you even been cultivating for twenty years? How dare you clamor in front of a great demon who has lived for two to three thousand years? You're seeking death!"

Two to three thousand years!

Verdant Green Maiden's lifespan shocked everyone present.

Ying Zhu raised his hand, signaling the Yin Yang School members to quiet down. He looked at Verdant Green Maiden and said slowly, "If Master were a demon, she wouldn't have bothered teaching Ying Zheng."

Hearing this, Verdant Green Maiden glanced at Ying Zhu and asked, "What do you mean by that? Aren't you here to capture me?"

Ying Zhu shook his head and said, "After the Former King returned from Luoyi, he invited people from the Yin Yang School to Xianyang, indeed to deal with Master! But I, the current Monarch, now have a different perspective! Master, would you like to hear my current thoughts?"

Verdant Green Maiden smiled. She directly jumped onto a nearby rockery, lightly tapping the stones, and looked down at Ying Zhu, saying slowly, "Tell me about it."

Ying Zhu looked up at Verdant Green Maiden and said, "The Former King said that Master would take the lifeblood of the Great Qin's last Monarch! Therefore, he believed that as long as Master was captured, Great Qin could last for ten thousand generations!"

"But I see Master's affection for that child Zheng, and I believe Master would not do such a thing!"
