All members of Liusha knelt in front of a low table.

Wei Zhuang raised his eyebrows and said, "Prince Ying'an of Qin? According to the information I know, this Prince Ying'an is the second son of King Zheng of Qin. He was born to the Princess of Han. However, he was born with a congenital deficiency. A medical expert once asserted that Prince Ying'an would not live past the age of sixteen!"

"As a brother, are you really sure that you want to marry your sister to someone who may die at any time?" Wei Zhuang looked at Han Fei with indifference.

"Brother Wei Zhuang," Han Fei said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid the information you know is seriously out of date. Just now, in the palace hall, I saw this young master Ying An with my own eyes!!"

"Oh?" Wei Zhuang, Zi Nu, and Zhang Liang all looked interested. They waited expectantly for Han Fei to continue.

"Then I wonder what Young Master Jiu feels about your cousin?" Zi Nu asked with a smile.

Frowning and pondering for a moment, Han Fei said in a deep voice, "It's very contradictory! When I first saw him, he gave me the impression of a weak scholar. But strangely, I also felt an inexplicable sense of oppression from him! It's like... like facing a natural enemy. It's a feeling that life and death can be taken away by him at any time!"

"Natural enemy?" Zhang Liang asked in surprise, "Did the Ninth Young Master have an illusion because of Young Master Ying An's Qin background?"

"No!" Han Fei was confident in this. He said with conviction, "Remember what I told you? Qin may be powerful, but I still believe that if we can reform Han, then one day, even Han, surrounded by enemies, will be able to dominate the other six kingdoms."

"Of course I remember!" Zi Nu said jokingly, "Ninth Young Master said it himself. Seven Kingdoms will rule the world, and ninety-nine will be enough!"

Han Fei chuckled and shook his head, saying, "There's definitely something wrong with this Young Master Ying An! It's not because of his identity, but because of who he is!"

"It seems that Young Master Ying'an is hiding a secret from the entire world!" Wei Zhuang showed an interested look. Although his tone was cold, it was not without a hint of kindness as he reminded: "Since you have already noticed Young Master Ying'an's abnormality, why do you still insist on marrying Honglian to the Qin State? Especially marrying her to this Ying'an as a concubine?"

Han Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Although I firmly believe that I can make Han rich and strong, I still have to worry about failure before I worry about victory! We will soon face Liusha in a fierce battle. In this situation, if Honglian can gain the identity of a concubine of a Qin prince, I believe even Ji Wuye will have to be cautious!"

"So, you're doing this for Princess Honglian's safety!" Zi Nu nodded in understanding, but soon asked in confusion, "Aren't you afraid of backfiring?"

"No!" Han Fei shook his head, his tone full of confidence, and said: "Ji Wuye is just a stepping stone for me to promote reforms in Han. Even if the marriage between Honglian and Qin is promoted, it is only to avoid Ji Wuye.

A cornered dog will jump over the wall."

"I see!" Wei Zhuang suddenly realized and said, "You just want to give Honglian an identity that will make Ji Wuye afraid to attack her. But you don't really intend to form a marriage alliance with the Qin State."

The moment the words fell, Wei Zhuang suddenly seemed to have thought of something and changed his tone, "No! That's not right! The marriage is a guarantee. At the same time, you probably also want to test Master Ying'an. If Master Ying'an passes your test and Honglian doesn't mind, you should complete this marriage in the future. However, by that time, the purpose of the reform in your mind should have been achieved. Han has the qualifications to negotiate with Qin on an equal footing. And Honglian will also jump from the status of a concubine to the position of a wife!"

Han Fei touched his nose and said awkwardly, "Brother Wei Zhuang, I never thought of going back on my word!!"

"That's right!" Wei Zhuang looked at Han Fei with a strange look in his eyes and said, "You certainly didn't intend to go back on your word. But through this marriage, you bought enough time for both Han and your own reform plans. Even Qin is just a pawn in your plan."

"The Ninth Young Master has a very big plan. Even the powerful Qin State is being used as a chess piece by the Ninth Young Master!!" As a little fan of Han Fei, after Wei Zhuang guessed Han Fei's plan, Zhang Liang was not only filled with emotion, but also looked extremely admiring.

Zi Nu reminded him, "Ninth Young Master, don't forget that this Young Master Ying An, besides the Qin State behind him, is no simple figure himself! Isn't he afraid of backfiring?"

Chapter 42: Han Fei's Fear! A Sudden Inspiration!

Zi Nu's reminder immediately made Han Fei's face become solemn.

As for how deeply Ying An is hiding, I am afraid that apart from Dongjun, only Han Fei knows clearly.

Just before, the moment Yu saw Ying An in the hall, he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if he had encountered a natural enemy. Every organ and even every cell in his body seemed to be afraid of something. Even deep in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a fear for Ying An.

This was a feeling Han Fei had never had before.

That kind of overwhelming awe that seemed to come from another dimension left a deep impression on Han Fei.

Taking a deep breath, Han Fei said, "I will go see Ying An again!!"

Wei Zhuang frowned, a serious look flashing in his eyes as he said, "This Ying An is very dangerous. Are you really planning to go look for him again?"

"That's right!" Han Fei nodded and said, "If I can't meet him in person, I'm afraid I really don't have much confidence to hand Honglian over to him!!"

Just as the four giants of Quicksand fell silent after hearing Han Fei's words.

A girl with long hair tied into a bun and a red hairpin adorning it, wearing a long gauze dress decorated with golden patterns, pushed open the door.

Be it Wei Zhuang, Zi Nu, Han Fei or Zhang Liang, they all frowned and showed dissatisfied expressions.

You know, in Zi Lan Xuan, unless there is an advance order, no one will disturb the four giants of Liusha when they discuss anything.

But at this moment, an accident happened.

The moment she saw the person coming, Zi Nu's brows furrowed even deeper. With a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone, she asked, "Cai Die, who asked you to come here?"

Unexpectedly, Caidie, who had always been cautious when facing Zi Nu, now appeared extremely free and easy, confident and calm.

However, the colorful butterfly at this moment is very different from before in its every move and gesture.

Ignoring Zi Nu's question, Cai Die came to the low table on her own. After looking at Han Fei with interest, she said, "Sir Nine, don't you want to see me?"

The moment Caidie finished speaking, the four giants of Liusha were stunned at first, and then they were all horrified.

Zi Nu, in particular, was skilled in disguise and makeup, and could even disguise the vulture's corpse to resemble Li Kai, replacing him seamlessly. But at this moment, Zi Nu couldn't see any trace of disguise or makeup on Cai Die.

In fact, no matter how Zi Nu looked at it, the colorful butterfly in front of her was undoubtedly the colorful butterfly she was familiar with.

It was precisely because they could not find any flaws that the four giants of Quicksand felt even greater fear in their hearts.

"You... you're not Caidie!!" Han Fei's voice was a little dry. Although he used a questioning tone, his expression was extremely convinced. "You are the prince of Qin... Ying An!?"

"As expected of Han Fei, he didn't disappoint me!" Caidie smiled approvingly, nodded, and said, "Not bad! Didn't you want to see me? Now I'm here on my own initiative!"

Zheng! !

Accompanied by the sound of swords.

The shark-tooth sword came out in an instant, and Wei Zhuang held the sword in one hand, his body firmly blocking Han Fei and Zhang Liang.

At the same time, Zi Nu also drew out the Chi Lian Sword!

The Scarlet Snake Sword, like a venomous snake, continuously traced mysterious paths in the air, but it still did not launch an attack.

"Don't do it!" Han Fei's face was solemn. He hurriedly stopped Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu. Then he took a deep breath, looked at Cai Die and said, "You are Ying An, the prince of Qin. But now, this body is Cai Die, right? So, even if you kill Cai Die now, it will be Cai Die who dies. It will not have any effect on you."

A look of surprise clearly appeared on Caidie's face. After glancing at Han Fei, she nodded and said, "As expected of Han Fei. How did you come to that conclusion?"

At this moment, Ying An was possessing the body of a colorful butterfly with his spirit. He controlled the butterfly's body and appeared before the four giants of the quicksand.

Even the Colorful Butterfly possessed only a dozen or so of Ying An's thoughts. Never mind that the Four Flowing Sand Giants had no way to deal with the spirit, even if they did, killing the Colorful Butterfly and destroying Ying An's dozen or so thoughts would only have a minor effect on Ying An, which he could quickly recover from by reciting the Amitabha Sutra.

With a wry smile, Han Fei said weakly, "Maybe you don't believe it, but... my intuition tells me that the truth of the matter is this!!"

The expression on Caidie's face froze.

On a whim!!

Being able to predict fortune and disaster at any moment was a magical power that could only be acquired after the soul had survived five thunder tribulations. However, Han Fei was now able to divine Ying An's bizarre and mysterious methods on a whim.

Of course, even if Han Fei really relied on his impulse to judge the truth, it did not mean that Han Fei had a soul at the level of five thunder tribulations.

After all, impulse is essentially an innate ability of living things. However, this ability is extremely subtle. Unless one embarks on the path of cultivation, constantly improves one's own nature, and gradually develops it, it is impossible to judge the impulses of ordinary people.

It is like the eyes see images through light, but the visible light that the human eye can see is extremely limited, even less than half of natural light.

For living things, a sudden impulse is more like a special ability between visible light and invisible light.

Even ordinary people who have never practiced cultivation may have a sudden inspiration and predict their future misfortunes and blessings in advance.

The more powerful a person's spiritual realm is, the more clearly they can judge and utilize their impulses. Han Fei is undoubtedly in this situation.

Looking at Han Fei deeply, Caidie nodded and said word by word: "I believe it!"

Han Fei gave a wry smile and said, "I wonder if Master Ying An could give me some pointers. What kind of method is this? I've never known which of the various schools of thought have such... bizarre methods!! Also, where's Caidie? Is she still alive?"

"As a young master of South Korea, you have such a compassionate heart. It's rare!" Caidie, or Ying'an, said with an expression of special regard for Han Fei, "Don't worry. The owner of this body is fine. She is just sleeping in her soul and I am using her body for a while. After I leave, she will recover soon! Besides, going through this may not be a bad thing for her!!"

Ying An said this for a reason. Although Caidie was an ordinary member of Zilanxuan, she would die at the hands of Ba Linglong in the future. Ba Linglong even disguised herself as her and lurked in Zilanxuan.

It can be said that after this incident, Caidie might be able to escape her miserable future!

Chapter 43: The Wisdom of the Legalist Sages

I don’t know what will happen to Zi Lan Xuan in the future.

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhuang's cold face revealed a look of obvious mockery. He said, "So, Caidie should thank you, the Prince of Qin?"

"Colorful butterfly!" Ying An ignored Wei Zhuang. Instead, after repeating Colorful Butterfly's name, he said with interest, "Once upon a time, Zhou Zhuang dreamed of a butterfly. I never thought I would be dreaming of the same thing today!"

Han Fei's mouth twitched as he reminded him, "Master Ying An, Zhou Zhuang is a Taoist ancestor. Besides, Mengdie didn't dream of a girl named Caidie!!"

"Haha..." Ying An laughed heartily, with no intention of responding. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Han Fei. Didn't you want to see me before? Well, now, as you wish. I'm already in front of you. In this Zi Lan Xuan, I don't think you are still afraid of my hidden methods, right?"

With a long sigh, Han Fei said, "Does Master Ying An really like to speak through other people's bodies?"

"I just don't want to trouble Han Fei to go to the Qin State Library in person," Ying An said solemnly.

Han Fei laughed dumbly, shook his head, and said, "Master Ying An has mastered such a mysterious method. The world is so vast, I'm afraid he has no scruples. So, now it's Master Ying An who wants to see Han Fei, not Han Fei who wants to see Master Ying An!"

Ying An was slightly stunned, but after thinking about it, he had to admit that Han Fei was indeed a very wise man. At least in this moment, he expressed humor and took the initiative of the topic without making a sound.

"Then Master Han Fei, why do you think I want to see you?" Ying An said with a smile.

The smile on Han Fei's face gradually faded. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "Young Master, I'm afraid it's because of Honglian, right?"

"Do you think a mere Korean princess is really worth my resorting to such means to meet you, a Korean prince and a disciple of Xunzi?"

"It's worth it!" Han Fei said unexpectedly, his tone was extremely firm.

His answer surprised even Wei Zhuang, Zi Nu and Zhang Liang.

Although he was only meeting Ying An for the first time through the body of a colorful butterfly, Zi Nu, Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang all knew that with Ying An's identity and means, he would definitely not be tempted by women.

"In your heart, Honglian is indeed unique. But among all the countries, with the strength of South Korea, the identity of the princess does not seem to be as important as you imagined!" Ying An shook his head.

"But the meaning represented by the Red Lotus is worth it!" Han Fei seemed to be stubbornly convinced that Ying An came here just for the Red Lotus.

"What meaning does it have for a princess, no matter how much she is favored by Han Wangan?"

"Me!" Han Fei stared into Caidie's eyes, as if he could see through those watery eyes to the essence of Ying An. "Young Master, you left the Han Palace not long ago and should have just returned to the Qin State Hall. Yet, you are so impatient, resorting to such unthinkable means to meet me. There must be something in me that you value. And if you want to obtain what you care about, Honglian is your only way to get it! So, I'm sure you've come here just for Honglian!"

Ying An seemed to be lost in thought. After a moment's silence, he said, "You're not wrong. In the whole of Korea, apart from that stunning beauty, I'm afraid you, a Korean prince, are the only one who deserves my attention!"

Han Fei gave a bitter laugh and said, "Since Young Master Ying An has come to see me in such a way, I suppose you wouldn't mind telling me what it is about me that's worth your attention, right? In Han, I'm just a young master, not valued by the king. I'm a novice in the court, and I have no power. What is there about me that's worth exposing yourself to a young master who has been hiding for over a decade?"

"You now only have some things that interest me. What really deserves my attention is the future!" Although Ying An did not keep the secret, he did not directly point out his true intentions.

"The future?" Han Fei nodded thoughtfully. His eyes suddenly lit up as he looked deeply at Ying An and said, "It's the Qin State! The young master seems to be convinced that I will definitely serve in the Qin State in the future! So, could it be the King of Qin?"

After a slight pause, Han Fei quickly overturned his previous statement and said, "No! It shouldn't be just the King of Qin. With your methods, if you really wanted to serve in the imperial court, I'm afraid that Lu Buwei wouldn't be the one holding power in the Xianyang Palace right now! In the future..."

At this moment, Ying An clearly felt the remarkable wisdom of Han Fei, the master of Legalism.

Whether it was a spur of the moment or a stroke of genius, Han Fei was able to piece together the clues step by step, even coming close to predicting the King of Qin's presence in Xinzheng. This truly made Ying An realize how terrifying it was for the various schools of thought to truly leave their names in history.

Even though Ying An has now reached the level of a ghost immortal, he still has some desire to win Han Fei back.

Although Han Fei was incredibly wise, he ultimately had his limits.

He gave a bitter laugh and said, "It seems I can't escape the Master's plan this time!!"

With a long sigh, Han Fei stood up, bowed to Ying An, and said, "Sir, may I ask if you will treat Hong Lian well in the future?"

Ying An didn't say anything, but nodded slightly.

"Well then!" Han Fei cheered up and said, "Then let me see if your plan is truly flawless. As the ruler chooses his ministers, so the ministers also choose their ruler!"

"You want to bet on South Korea?" Ying An said in surprise.

"That's right. If I can reform and strengthen South Korea, then a strong South Korea will be able to protect me. Even if the young master has strange means, I'm afraid he won't be able to attack me at will. But if my plan fails, joining the young master's army may not be a bad choice for me!" Han Fei nodded frankly.

"Then I look forward to your next performance!!"

The moment Han Fei finished speaking, Ying An suddenly seemed to sense something.

There was a sudden flash of confusion in Caidie's dark eyes, and an invisible and intangible cold wind floated away from her body. The moment the cold wind left, Caidie fell on the low table as if her bones had been pulled out.

The four giants of Quicksand were all stunned.

Wei Zhuang tentatively placed the shark-tooth sword across Caidie's neck.

Han Fei waved his hand and said, "No need. I'm afraid that Master Ying An has already left."

"Ninth Young Master!" Zhang Liang looked at Han Fei with a worried look on his face, wanting to speak but hesitant. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Are you really planning to gamble with some Young Master Ying An, using Han as a stake?"

"Gambling? I'm just being the butcher on the chopping board." Han Fei said with a wry smile.

Chapter 44: Great and Powerful Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva

After leaving Zi Lan Xuan, Ying An's thoughts of more than ten butterflies never returned to the Qin Hui Pavilion. Instead, they appeared directly in an alley not far from Zi Lan Xuan.

In the moonlight, in the dim alley, a figure appeared and disappeared.

This figure had long, pale hair and wore armor with countless scratches, as if it had been left with traces from countless fierce battles.
