A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

"My dear nephew has arrived!"

"Uncle, I came in a hurry and didn't bring much with me, so please consider this bottle of Qi-Nourishing Pills as my birthday gift to you!"

Bai Yuan took out a small jade bottle containing five Qi-Nourishing Pills.

When I saw that what he gave me was actually a medicinal pill, that is...

Mo Xi immediately reached out and took it, carefully uncorking the bottle and pouring out a capsule.

A pleasant medicinal fragrance wafted from the pills, causing Ji Moxi's expression to change slightly.

This is absolutely a top-grade elixir!

Ji Moyun stood next to Ji Moxi, craning his neck to see what the pill looked like. His hasty behavior earned him a fierce glare from Ji Moxi.

"My dear nephew, your gift is so generous, yet you say you didn't bring anything. You are too modest!"

Ji Moxi quickly put away the pills, quite satisfied with this birthday gift.

Bai Yuan smiled and waved his hand: "It's just a bottle of ordinary health-preserving pills given by my sect. It can replenish qi and blood, and strengthen the body. I hope Uncle will have a long and healthy life and always be happy!"

He concealed some of the effects of the Qi-Nourishing Pill, believing that Ji Moxi would naturally understand after using it.

"Hahaha! That's so thoughtful! My dear nephew, you've really put your heart into this!"

Ji Moxi laughed heartily at Bai Yuan's coaxing. He pulled Bai Yuan aside and began to introduce him to the other guests.

"Let me introduce you all. This is my good nephew, a disciple of the Taoist Tianzong sect, and a student of Master Beiming. My nephew is quite a handsome man."

Bai Yuan chuckled and played along with Ji Moxi, letting him show off his skills.

The guests were all shocked when they heard Bai Yuan's identity; they hadn't expected him to have such a powerful background.

So they all wanted to go up and make friends with them.

However, Ji Moxi knew her limits and took the initiative to block these people for Bai Yuan, allowing Ji Mo Huaxue to bring Bai Yuan inside in time.

Bai Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after following Ji Mo Huaxue away from the crowd.

He really didn't like this kind of atmosphere.

The two arrived at the back garden, which was much quieter.

Sitting in the pavilion, the two fell silent, seemingly waiting for the other to speak first.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.

In the end, it was Bai Yuan who took the initiative to break the silence.

"Your uncle must have already told you, right? I wonder if you would be willing to learn swordsmanship from me?"

At this moment, he was also prepared to be rejected.

Ji Mo Huaxue pursed her lips, not expecting that this was the only thing he cared about as soon as he opened his mouth.

Sighing inwardly, she still patiently replied, "Sir, you value my talent so highly, of course I don't want to refuse such a good opportunity, but do I really have the talent you say I have?"

"It's natural!"

Upon hearing that she had agreed to learn swordsmanship from him, Bai Yuan was overjoyed and quickly nodded in response.

"So, besides this matter, don't you have anything else to say to me? Is it that you only value my talent, sir?"

Ji Mo Huaxue leaned forward slightly and looked up into his eyes.

At this moment, Bai Yuan could even smell the faint floral fragrance on the other person, like winter snow and plum blossoms in the snow. The meaning in the other person's eyes was also self-evident.

He had only heard that women from Qi were passionate and dared to love and hate, but he never expected to actually meet such a woman today.

Bai Yuan took a deep breath. The other party had already made it almost obvious. If he didn't react, what kind of man would he be?

So he reached out his left hand and embraced Ji Mo Huaxue's slender waist, gently pulling her into his arms.

Holding the beauty in his arms, Bai Yuan gently stroked her cheek with his finger and asked with a smile, "How was my answer?"

He held her in his arms, Ji Mo Huaxue

Her pretty face flushed slightly, and looking into his gentle eyes, she nodded softly.

What my father taught me was indeed useful!

Actually, after Ji Moxi explained to her that Bai Yuan's words were a misunderstanding, she was still a little disappointed and embarrassed, not knowing how to face Bai Yuan. Indeed, just as Ningyan had guessed at the beginning, she did not want to learn any swordsmanship from Bai Yuan.

However, Ji Moxi said many good things about Bai Yuan to her, and even said that Bai Yuan was actually somewhat attracted to her. If she also had feelings for Bai Yuan, she could take the initiative!

After all, there aren't many people like Bai Yuan. If you miss out on someone like that, it might be for a lifetime.

So after thinking it over all night, Ji Mo Huaxue changed her mind. She decided to just agree and stay by Bai Yuan's side.

But the result surprised her even more; her father was indeed amazing!

Just then, a maid rushed over, looking very anxious.

"Miss! Miss."

The maid stared wide-eyed at the two embracing, then immediately covered her eyes in fright.

Bai Yuan and the other person immediately separated and straightened their clothes. At this moment, Ji Mo Hua Xue's face still had some lingering blush.

The two pretended that nothing had happened and asked the maid, "What were you trying to say?"

Only then did the maid remember the purpose of her visit, and she pointed in the direction of the front hall.

"Young Master Huan has arrived and is currently in the front hall. The master wants you to go there."

This love story might be a bit hard to understand, so let me explain the plot of "Ji Mo Hua Xue". Love in the Warring States period was simple, and women in Qi were known for their passionate and independent thinking, which is why they are often described as fickle. Take the story of the Queen of Qi, for example. When the six states attacked Qi, the country was almost destroyed, with only two cities remaining. Tian Fazhang, the son of King Min of Qi, was reduced to working as a servant in the Queen's household. However, when the Queen saw him, she was captivated by his extraordinary appearance and fell in love with him. After learning his identity, she even had an affair with him. To say that they had feelings for each other from the beginning is nonsense. In reality, the Queen was attracted to his looks and then to his royal bloodline. Even so, without knowing whether Qi could be restored or whether he could become King of Qi again, the Queen decisively had an affair with him and gave herself to him. Isn't that just giving herself away for free? This shows how courageous the women of Qi were. I wrote this based on the saying that women of Qi were passionate, which made Ji Mo Hua Xue take the initiative. After all, I have mentioned before that women of Qi were passionate, women of Chu were graceful, women of Yan were elegant, women of Han were beautiful, women of Zhao were gentle, women of Wei were gorgeous, and women of Qin were heroic. I also wanted to write about the characteristics of women from different countries. I may not have written it very well, but please understand!

Chapter 68 Concealing One's Strength and Keeping a Low Profile, A Hidden Dragon Should Not Be Used (Bonus Chapter, Please Read On)

Gongzi Huan was Tian Huan, the second son of the current King Jian of Qi.

Upon hearing the news of his arrival, Ji Mo Huaxue's expression changed slightly.

She leaned close to Bai Yuan and whispered, "Today my father is holding a birthday banquet, but he only plans to have a small celebration. In fact, he only invited some close relatives and friends, and he didn't invite Gongzi Huan at all."

Bai Yuan smiled, took her hand, and gently patted the back of her hand.

He had already discovered what she was talking about.

Although Ji Moxi was a high-ranking official in Jimo, holding real power, he was a good official, upright and pragmatic, and disliked extravagance and waste.

Therefore, even his birthday banquet was held on a small scale and kept very low-key.

Now that this young master Huan has come uninvited, he probably has ulterior motives.

As for the purpose, Bai Yuan glanced at the beauty in front of him, and the answer was self-evident.

"Don't worry, I'm here. Since Prince Huan has come to visit, we should naturally meet him. Otherwise, it will give others something to say, which would be detrimental to the Jimo clan."

Ji Mo Huaxue nodded slightly, and the two walked hand in hand toward the front hall.

At this moment, in the front hall, Gongzi Huan was chatting with Ji Moxi.

The others watched from the sidelines, saying little.

This was originally just a small banquet among relatives and friends, and everyone was having a lively time. However, because of the arrival of Prince Huan, it suddenly became much quieter.

Everyone present was clearly a little uncomfortable.

Gongzi Huan also realized this, and said with a smile to everyone, "There is no such thing as a young master today. I am just here as a junior to wish Uncle Jimo a happy birthday. You don't need to pay attention to me."

Although that's what he said, how could anyone really ignore him?

However, since he had already spoken, those present had no choice but to comply.

Seeing the scene become lively again, Prince Huan revealed a satisfied smile.

He made an apologetic gesture towards Ji Moxi: "I was a bit presumptuous just now, please forgive me, Uncle."

Ji Moxi nodded slightly, smiling somewhat perfunctorily.

"You flatter me, young master!"

Gongzi Huan opened his mouth, just about to ask why Ji Mo Huaxue hadn't arrived yet, when he saw her figure.

But the next moment, his expression changed slightly.

Because there was a man who was even more handsome than him with her, and the two of them were holding hands!

Seeing this scene, not only he changed his expression, but also Ningyan, who was holding Xue'er.

She knew that Bai Yuan had been taken to the backyard by Ji Mo Huaxue, and guessed that the two would definitely talk about learning swordsmanship, so she did not follow.

But she didn't expect that the two would become so intimate after such a short time apart. Although she did tell Bai Yuan to marry Ji Mo Huaxue yesterday, she was still unhappy.

Judging from their current state, Ji Mo Hua Xue has not only agreed to learn swordsmanship from Bai Yuan, but has probably also expressed her feelings for him.

I'm so angry! She was here first!

Standing next to Ningyan, Han Fei sensed a sharp aura emanating from her and instinctively moved aside.

"As expected, none of my martial uncle's companions are simple."

He thought to himself that the imposing aura he had just exuded could not possibly be possessed by an ordinary maid.

Judging from this situation, he could only pray for Bai Yuan.

I pray that he will get through the night safely.

Unlike Gongzi Huan and Ningyan, Ji Moxi's eyes lit up when she saw the two holding hands.

It seems Hua Xue has come to her senses!

Bai Yuan and his companion arrived before Ji Moxi and Gongzi Huan, and bowed slightly to Gongzi Huan.

"I've met the young master!"

Gongzi Huan glanced at Ji Moxi, then pointed at Bai Yuan and asked, "Who is this gentleman?"

Ji Moxi quickly introduced, "This is Mr. Bai Yuan, a disciple of the Taoist Tianzong sect, who is a student of Master Beiming."

"I never expected him to be Master Beiming's disciple!" Gongzi Huanlu was pleasantly surprised, but then a hint of doubt appeared on her face. "But I heard that Master Beiming hasn't taken on any disciples for many years. When did he gain a disciple?"

Upon seeing that he was beginning to doubt Bai Yuan's identity, Ji Moxi showed a hint of displeasure.

Wasn't he questioning his judgment when he said that?
