Chapter 359 Meeting with King Zheng of Qin
Finally, looking at the players, Li Muyang said, "I can help you withdraw the pursuit order from Luo Wang, but I must tell you that Luo Wang is not entirely controlled by the King of Qin and Lü Buwei. If assassins from within Luo Wang target you, even if the pursuit order is withdrawn, it will still be very troublesome."
One player was shocked: "Wow... bro, you have no solution?"
Li Muyang shook his head: "I have it!"
"any solution?"
"Kill all the Luo Wang and the nobles of the six kingdoms." Li Muyang said coldly with a calm expression: "The real mastermind behind Luo Wang is actually the nobles of the seven kingdoms. If they give me face, I can turn a blind eye, but if they don't..."
"Just kill him!"
The players opened their mouths, feeling both amused and helpless, because Li Muyang's method clearly didn't work for them! It wouldn't work!
Li Muyang possesses the cultivation of a Nascent Soul Immortal and the martial arts cultivation of a Celestial Realm. He is a Great Qian Dynasty Medical Immortal, a former ascendant, and even the entire game system belongs to him (according to players).
He has the strength to wipe out the entire Luo Wang organization, so he dares to say and do this.
But if the players still had the cultivation of immortality, they might dare to give it a try, but they didn't... so they should just listen to the advice of the big shots.
"In the end, you need to be strong yourself. Your best option right now is definitely not to join the King of Qin. He has enough players already! The real way out is the Hundred Schools of Thought! I suggest you go and study under the Hundred Schools of Thought." Li Muyang earnestly persuaded the group of players.
"Perhaps the Qin King's side offers more tasks and rewards, but he lacks a real path to becoming stronger. The main theme of this era is ultimately the Hundred Schools of Thought! It's martial arts! Moreover, the Hundred Schools of Thought cultivate oneself, regulate one's family, govern the state, and bring peace to the world. This is far better than you going to Qin to fight for power!"
"As long as you can become a disciple of one of the famous schools of thought and achieve some success, even the King of Qin will have to treat you with respect! Most importantly, there aren't many players who have joined the schools of thought yet! This path is easy and rewarding!"
"Do you have any recommendations for schools of thought from the Hundred Schools of Thought period?" another player asked with great interest.
"Yes! Of course! I recommend four schools: Confucianism, Taoism, Yin-Yang School, and the School of Diplomacy!" Li Muyang said succinctly, "These four schools all have Celestial Realm experts in charge!"
Upon hearing that these four families had Celestial Realm experts in charge, the players became excited! They had witnessed the combat power of Bai Yuxiu and her three companions during this period! The Luo Net was indeed troublesome, but so far, it was precisely because of the four women that so many of them had never been in mortal danger!
The four women didn't even use any immortal techniques!
If they used some kind of magical technique, the players would definitely recognize it!
The martial arts of the Celestial Realm are no different from those of the Immortal Cultivator!
Moreover, a Celestial Realm expert who is favored by Li Muyang must be extraordinary!
Indeed, it is not simple.
Secondly, it's also due to Bai Yuxiu and the others' discerning eye. These players all have excellent talent, and I believe the Hundred Schools of Thought would be very interested in them!
After all that hype, the players are ready to try a different map!
After seeing off several players, Li Muyang gave each of them a small gift—a Marrow Cleansing Pill—before they left. The players departed in high spirits.
With only Bai Yuxiu and the others left, along with Hei Bai Xuan Jian and Jing Ni, they stopped hiding their identities.
"Old Li, you're trying to drive people away indirectly!" Feng Ling'er teased Li Muyang, patting his shoulder meaningfully. The others also showed expressions of knowing this was true.
Li Muyang rolled his eyes: "Please, you don't think these players didn't notice, do you?"
"They figured it out?" This was a bit surprising. Bai Yuxiu asked in surprise, "Then why did they leave so readily?"
"Of course they don't want to offend me." Li Muyang shrugged calmly. "Besides, I showed them the way and gave them gifts. If they don't leave... then don't blame me for being heartless! You're asking for it!"
Yes, Li Muyang's earlier statement about killing all the Luo Wang members was a warning to these players.
Give me some face! Or I'll die!
As for why? Naturally, it's because they dislike trouble! These players are all people who enjoy themselves! They'll only be interested and help you if there's fun and benefits! Now, following Bai Yuxiu and the others, being hunted by the Luo Wang, especially since there aren't enough benefits to be seen, who knows what kind of crazy things they might do later!
Therefore, gently persuading them to leave, or using a combination of carrot and stick approach, is the best option.
Ultimately, it's because Li Muyang doesn't trust these players! It's too much of a waste of time and energy to engage in their scheming and intrigue!
Sincerity begets sincerity. These players wear masks; they appear enthusiastic, but in reality, they are all deeply calculating.
Li Muyang naturally wouldn't give these people a friendly look. Even though they knew this was the real world, most players still viewed everything in this world from a superior, God-like perspective. This was normal and unavoidable.
But that doesn't stop Li Muyang from disliking them!
You can have your fun, and I can choose not to like you! It's our individual freedom, which I understand and respect, so please don't bother me!
It's like many people are timid and submissive in real life, but ruthless and aggressive online! This is how players in this world treat the natives! The reason they act so recklessly is because they know the natives can't possibly follow them through the internet to the main world to beat them up.
Not everyone has high enough qualities or enough empathy.
But Li Muyang... and even Bai Yuxiu and the others, can actually connect with them offline through the internet to be "real" with them!
This is also the downside of bringing players into this world that Li Muyang mentioned before.
"We must always remain vigilant when dealing with players," Li Muyang analyzed leisurely. In this respect, Bai Yuxiu and the others have actually done a very good job.
For example, although they taught some players martial arts manuals such as the Formless Skill and the Flying Swallow Technique, that was all! You should know that the martial arts manual they are currently practicing actually originates from the Immortal's Painting! That is a manual passed down from a martial arts immortal!
This kind of thing is naturally not something to be easily passed on!
Even techniques like the Formless Skill and the Flying Swallow Technique are already considered relatively advanced secret manuals in this martial arts world. The martial arts system of the Great Qian Dynasty has been strengthened by Li Muyang!
Although due to the Dream Space, various countries have already communicated with the Great Qian Dynasty, and the enhanced martial arts system has spread, it is still not as common as it seems! It's not yet available everywhere; at least it's monopolized by certain forces, and the general public still doesn't have much access to it.
Therefore, players discovered that the plot they knew was not omnipotent! In the beginning, those who relied too much on foresight basically ran into obstacles everywhere.
Want to master advanced martial arts manuals? That's not easy! Who would be willing to teach you if you don't have some merit to back you up?
“Indeed, the appearance of players has brought a different color to this world, but it has also greatly increased the chaos in this world.” Bai Yuxiu said solemnly. Feng Ling’er and the other two nodded in agreement. They had also come this far.
Having seen enough, I can only say that players are a rather complex group, with all sorts of people in them.
"So..." Li Muyang finally got to the purpose of his trip: "Let's prepare for a trip to another world."
Now Xuan Jian and Jing Ni finally realized what Li Muyang meant!
"You're leaving?" Xuan Jian was surprised, but then he calmed down. He had known all along that people like them couldn't possibly spend too much time in this world.
It's just a bit of a pity that Bai Yuxiu and the others helped him so much, saving his life, and even his wife and children, but he didn't even have the chance to repay their kindness.
Li Muyang nodded and looked at the silent Jingni.
Jing Ni remained resolute: "Me and Miss!"
Old Li's lips twitched: "I didn't mean to kick you out, don't worry. I just hate those unpredictable players because I can feel the threat from them, but I don't feel any threat from you."
It's a threat, not a danger; it's just annoying.
These words mean that Li Muyang has accepted Jing Ni's joining them.
The group agreed to first send Xuan Jian and his wife to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, to meet King Zheng of Qin and have the Luo Wang assassination order revoked.
As they passed through the spatial portal, Xuan Jian and his wife, along with Jing Ni, were all filled with shock and curiosity. This method was simply astonishing!
Li Muyang did not open the portal into Xianyang City, but instead went to a small grove of trees not far outside the city. He then told everyone to stay in the small world first, and then he went to meet King Zheng of Qin.
As night fell, Zhao Zheng had just paid his respects to Zhao Ji and returned to his palace to rest. To be precise, he was trying to strengthen the bond between mother and son, which was also the advice given to him by the players: the First Emperor cannot lose his humanity! Only by having an emotional anchor can the First Emperor avoid becoming too lonely and lose his humanity.
Just as he was about to lie down, a servant's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Majesty... a young man who calls himself Li Muyang has come to visit."
Ying Zheng frowned. At this point... wait!
Who?
Li Muyang?
"Quickly announce... no! I'll go see him myself!" Ying Zheng hurriedly got up and ran out before he had even put his shoes on properly.
Li Muyang, who was still waiting outside the Qin Palace, saw Ying Zheng run out in disheveled clothes. He was shocked and exclaimed, "Your Majesty... why did you have to do this!"
Who taught him this?!
Ying Zheng chuckled and said, "Since you have come to visit in person, I naturally cannot be negligent!"
Li Muyang was a little embarrassed. He originally wanted to teleport directly to find Ying Zheng, but he didn't expect Ying Zheng to value him so much. Luckily, he didn't make such a mistake in etiquette!
Welcomed into the palace by Ying Zheng, the two sat facing each other. Li Muyang, not one for small talk, went straight to the point: "I apologize for disturbing Your Majesty's rest with this sudden visit at this hour. I will not waste any more time or beat around the bush. I do have a favor to ask of you!"
Ying Zheng was overjoyed upon hearing this. If Li Muyang was willing to seek his help, it meant that he could definitely resolve the matter! As for whether it would be troublesome, could it be more important than the favor he owed Li Muyang?
On the surface, he still wore a gentle smile: "Sir, you are too kind! You have worked hard for the sake of all living beings in this world. If I can do my part, I will do so without hesitation!"
