Long ago, there were schools of learning in China, the more famous ones being the Jixia School.
Apart from education, the academies also served a very important purpose, as they were places where schools of thought could present their ideas and debate.
The Xianyang Academy was one such place.
In the early morning, a group of Confucian students had already gathered outside the Xianyang Academy.
Most of them had a look of excitement on their faces.
“We have received orders from the head of Confucianism and have travelled all the way to Xianyang to finally start the great debate today! I heard that the head of Confucianism will also be there.”
“Is that really so? Gentlemen, the time has come to make a name for yourselves!”
As all the Confucian students were talking, someone suddenly spoke up and said.
“Look! Gongzi Su is here!”
“Gongzi Su? The Duke Su who has convinced countless Confucians with his benevolent ways at the street debates these few days?”
“He’s really a handsome man!”
Many Confucian students exclaimed in admiration, but of course, there were also Confucian students who said with disdain.
“Hmph, the way of benevolence and virtue without distinguishing between enemies, hypocrisy at its best!”
“The way of vengeance of my Gong Yang School is the true meaning!”
“That is not true! The way of benevolence and virtue is the word of the sages…”
Soon, the Confucians were embroiled in a new round of debate.
At this moment, Fusu was standing on high with Chun Yu Yue, looking down at the arguing Confucians with a bit of condescension.
At this time, Chun Yu Yue whispered to Fusu that
“Today is the first day of the great debate, and although the Confucian head will not show up, he will be there.”
“If you can convince the crowd with your learning, it will be of great benefit, in the future!”
Fu Su nodded and returned.
“Don’t worry, teacher, my disciple knows.”
“This is also why the disciple is participating in the debate as Su.”
Chun Yu Yue nodded in satisfaction, he still had no worries about Fu Su’s learning.
“That’s good, I will be on the sidelines later, watching you preach.”
Having said that, he turned to leave.
At this point Fusu revealed a smile and walked towards the Confucian students below.
Soon he was talking and laughing with the many Confucian students who supported the Way of Benevolence.
At this moment, not far away, Hu Hai, Gao and Win Yin Man were looking on.
“Che, it’s just that you can quarrel, what’s there to be proud of.”
Hu Hai looked at Fusu, who was making a name for himself among the Confucian students, and could not help but say sourly.
In fact, he wanted to be like that, but unfortunately, he did not study Confucianism.
What’s more, he was not good at preaching and debating.
“That’s a debate, not a quarrel.”
Win Yin Man, who was on the sidelines, said indifferently.
Hearing this, Hu Hai frowned at Win Yin Man and then said that
“Why do I feel that you have changed a lot since you came back this time.”
Win Yin Man was stunned and said.
“Where have I changed?”
Hu Hai scowled at the other and said.
“Usually you always like to argue with me, like just now, if it was before, you would have sarcastically snapped at me and argued.”
“Well, you’ve become a bit of a p*ssy since you came back.”
“Tch, are you trying to change your look so you can go and attract Wave? That’s right, men like soft and feminine…”
“Huhai!”
“Ha! I knew you were faking it!”
“Hey! Don’t you do it! I told Wave about it!”
The two of them fought for a while, stopping only when the gates of the academy opened and the Confucian students were ready to enter.
Hu Hai at this time glanced at Gao next to him and said that
“Why are you not even talking today?”
Gao looked at Fusu who was walking at the forefront in the distance, leading the Confucian students inside the academy, and said indifferently that
“I am just worried that the Confucian debate today, I am afraid, will not go so well.”
Hu Hai said, frowning.
“Confucianism is now a prominent school, who would cross them?”
Gao smiled without saying anything, looked at the sun, and then said that
“I have something else to do, so I’ll go first.”
And with that, he left the place.
“Why are all these people so godlike lately?”
Hu Hai said in confusion.
Win Yin Man said in no good humour that
“They all have their own plans, you’re the only one who’s dull-witted!”
Hu Hai looked around to see if anyone was around before he said, disdainfully.
“Hmph, naturally I know that Fusu is pulling in the Confucians and Gao is also making small moves.”
“But I’m telling you, all this is useless!”
“I’ve spent so much time with Lang that I’ve come to a realisation!”
“A big fist is the real truth.”
“Look at these two, no matter how imposing they are normally, they still have to be obedient when they see Brother Long?”
“If father hadn’t transferred them to General Meng’s side, they wouldn’t even be able to compete with me!”
Hearing these words, Win Yin Man looked at Hu Hai with some surprise, she did not expect that the other party actually had such insight!
Hu Hai looked at the surprise in Win Yin Man’s eyes, and a hint of smugness surfaced in his heart.
At last, he had faked it!
“Hey, sis, do you know why I’m talking to you about this?”
In a rare moment of seriousness, Hu Hai called out to Win Yin Man a sister and continued to say that
“Hmph, no matter who they pull in! I’ll definitely lean on Brother Long!”
“Sister, I also know how you feel about Brother Long, why don’t we join forces! Take Brother Wave down at the same time!”
Looking at Hu Hai, whose eyes were full of wisdom, Win Yin Man was a little uncomfortable for a while.
And if she hadn’t known about that one thing, she might have really agreed.
There were only a few princes who could compete for that position now.
And compared to Fusu and Gao, Hu Hai clearly favoured Zhao Lang.
But nowadays…
Win Yin Man looked at Hu Hai with a complicated expression and said that
“I don’t want to get involved in these matters of yours.”
Hearing this reply, Hu Hai was visibly stunned; he had thought that this plan was a sure thing.
But he had not expected the other party to reject it so simply.
He frowned at once and looked at Win Yin Man and said.
“You’ve changed your mind?”
Win Yin Man said indifferently.
“I have never had a change of heart.”
Hu Hai bristled and
“And I don’t know who it was that stole onto my car in the first place, just to meet Brother Long, and also when they were in Liaodong, and secretly followed people back.”
“And ah, when I was at the farm, I noticed that you were looking at Brother Long wrong!”
“You’re talking nonsense again!”
Hearing Hu Hai mention these things, Ying Yin Man couldn’t help but feel a mixture of shame and annoyance, her face was red!
“Hey! Don’t do it!”
“Hey, Brother Long!”
“Don’t you try to trick me!”
“Really, he’s got a girl with him! Tch, Brother Wave is awesome.”
“Hey, what are you hitting me for! That girl isn’t mine!”

Zhao Lang looked at the extremely atmospheric Xianyang Academy in front of him and smiled as he said to Li Ling’er, who was at his side
“I didn’t expect Miss Ling’er to be so interested in the doctrines of various schools.”
He had met up with the other party early this morning and then arrived here.
“What, does the gentleman wave think that women shouldn’t explore learning?”
Li Ling’er smiled and spoke.
Zhao Lang shook his head and
“Of course not, both men and women, young and old, are qualified to pursue learning.”
When Li Ling’er heard this, she couldn’t help but have her eyes light up slightly.
In the Great Qin, it was not common for women to pursue studies, and those who approved of women entering the academy were even fewer.
It would be much easier for the other party to have such an idea if they were to be with each other for a long time in the future.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard a loud shout from the side of
“Wave! Brother Long! This way!”
