Chapter 577: Chapter 576: The Three Confucian Emperors

"You were only in the First Realm in your previous life?" Ye Xuan gave Meng Chan a sidelong glance.

"The past life is the past after all, I have gone through Soldier Disintegration, it doesn’t count," Meng Chan blinked.

"If those old folks from your Meng Family knew, you probably wouldn’t be able to come out," Ye Xuan chuckled.

"Don’t, we’re in the same boat," Meng Chan whispered.

"Did I ever say that?" Ye Xuan looked at Meng Chan.

Meng Chan was stunned, then suddenly her face filled with anger, and she pouted, "Fine, Ye Xuan, eat and wipe your mouth clean and then deny knowing anyone, is that it?"

"If those pieces of information about you were to leak out, you’d be dead, you know?"

Meng Chan ’threatened.’

"Should I visit the Meng Family?" Ye Xuan gave Meng Chan a sidelong glance.

"Alright, alright, alright, consider me scared of you," Meng Chan lowered her head in submission, but her large watery eyes were filled with grievance and melancholy.

This stinky Ye Xuan, why is he so oddly tempered.

"Don’t feel wronged, I know what your ideals are, but in this world, there is only one Emperor Meng, it’s not that simple to follow the old ways, on the contrary, I think you are suited for the path of Emperor Xun," Ye Xuan said slowly.

The Confucian School has three major families: Kong, Meng, and Xun.

And the founders of these three families were Emperors Kong, Meng, and Xun respectively.

These three are the most glorious fundamental roots of their respective families.

All three have left a profound mark throughout the ages.

It can be said that the flourishing of the Dao of Confucianism owes much to these three individuals.

Even now, whether in the secular world or the Cultivation World, many of the established norms have been set by the Confucian School.

These norms are still used to this day.

However, the paths of these three Confucian Emperors are quite different.

Emperor Kong, as the founder of the Confucian school, emphasized education without discrimination.

His successor, Emperor Meng, emphasized nurturing Vast Qi.

The last, Emperor Xun, emphasized controlling Tian Ming and utilizing it.

Each path differs from the others.

Meng Chan, a disciple of the Meng family of the three major Confucian families, has been raised in the teachings of Emperor Meng from a young age.

However, that doesn’t mean the teachings one learns are necessarily suited to oneself.

Everyone’s causality differs, without a difference in level.

In Ye Xuan’s view, Meng Chan is more suited for the teachings of Emperor Xun than those of Emperor Meng.

As for why Ye Xuan knows so much...

Heh.

Those ancient legacies are actually recorded in historical annals.

Behind every great era, there are invisible hands at play.

For instance, in many relics or within legacies, an inexplicable character ’Ye’ appears.

Others might not know, but behind the era of the three Confucian Emperors, there was also the character ’Ye.’

Who would know that the founding of the three Confucian Emperors was related to the Undying Night Emperor.

Emperor Kong may have just received some enlightenment.

But Emperor Meng was actually a disciple he had taken in.

"Vast Qi."

This method was indeed founded in that era.

It was also something the Undying Night Emperor tailored specifically for Emperor Meng.

In Ye Xuan’s view, Meng Chan is not suited for the path of Emperor Meng, but rather for the teachings of Emperor Xun, the third of the three Confucian Emperors.

"It’s not as simple as you say," Meng Chan sighed softly and said mournfully, "The three major Confucian families are no longer what they used to be, and today, the Dao of Confucianism is in decline, cultivators throughout the world seek longevity or pursue the ancient Dao of proving oneself through strength, the teachings of the three Confucian Emperors are difficult, moreover..."

"There are also considerable rifts among the three major families."

"So, do you want to learn the teachings of Emperor Xun?" Ye Xuan asked.

Meng Chan hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "I’ve actually thought about it. I’ve seen it before."

"Ye Xuan, do you have a way?"

Meng Chan suddenly seemed to think of something, her eyes lighting up.

"Slow to react," Ye Xuan said slowly.

Meng Chan opened her mouth wide, surprised, "You really have a way?"

Ye Xuan nodded slightly, "Don’t worry, no rush. When you’ve grown up, I will take you to visit the Xun Family.

Meng Chan said defiantly, "Hey, have you forgotten where I come from?"

Ye Xuan sized up Meng Chan from top to bottom, "These aren’t important. What’s important is that your body hasn’t grown up yet."

Suddenly, Meng Chan’s face turned red, and she turned her head away, "How could you, Ye Xuan! I misjudged you, to think you’re also that kind of scoundrel!"

Ye Xuan patted Meng Chan, saying annoyed, "What are you thinking? I’m a married man."

"The teachings of Emperor Xun emphasize controlling ’Tian Ming’ and using it. With that body of yours, you think to control ’Tian Ming’ and use it?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Chan turned her head back, perhaps feeling she had wronged Ye Xuan, somewhat embarrassed, she changed the subject, "Ye Xuan, you clearly know so much, why did you still make a deal with me before?"

"Logically speaking, you know much more than I do, right?"

Meng Chan looked at Ye Xuan with a skeptical expression.

Ye Xuan sighed, "Do you think there’s really a person who knows everything in this world?"

Meng Chan looked at Ye Xuan’s profile, sensing an indescribable flavor.

What exactly was hidden within this young man?

Meng Chan withdrew her gaze, pondering for a moment, somewhat uncertainly, "There might be..."

"Those bald-headed Buddhist folks like to say: ’All beings have thoughts and notions, and all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, deities and spirits know them all.’

"And there’s ’good or evil will always meet its karma, and three feet above your head there is divinity watching.’

"These... they are probably what you call ’people who know everything.’

Meng Chan blinked and said.

"Bullshit," Ye Xuan cursed, unusually blunt.

Meng Chan shrunk her head back.

"Let’s not talk about these useless things. When you’ve grown up a bit more, I’ll take you to the Xun Family," Ye Xuan exhaled a turbid breath, his eyes clearing.

Sometimes, one suddenly remembers certain things in certain situations, and murderous intentions arise.

Just like Ye Xuan a moment ago, he thought of the events from ninety thousand years ago.

In this world, there are no people who know everything.

Not even Ye Xuan.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been betrayed.

The most terrifying thing in this world, is the smirking betrayal of those closest to you!

Even Ye Xuan, whose Dao Heart is invincible, finds it hard to let go of that past.

Letting go, so easy to say, just eleven strokes of the brush.

It’s not that simple.

Not without understanding everything, not without slaughtering the traitors.

Letting go my ass.

"When you take me to the Xun Family, do you have any other requests?" Meng Chan asked suspiciously as she looked at Ye Xuan.

From her short, less than an hour of knowing Ye Xuan, she felt it couldn’t be just his kindness.

"We’ll talk about that when the time comes," Ye Xuan didn’t elaborate.

Discussing it now would be pointless, it’s better to wait until everything falls into place.

"Okay," Although Meng Chan was curious, she knew it wasn’t the time to ask further, so she didn’t pursue it.

After all, it’s still early, who knows what might change by then.

"I am Long Juanfeng, representing the Long Family to congratulate Yun Chui on his ascent to the position of Family Head, and I hereby present a pair of Flood Dragon boots and a set of Divine Dragon Whip, with no disrespect intended, and I hope they will be graciously accepted."

While Ye Xuan and Meng Chan were talking, the process of gift-giving continued, and it was now the turn of the representative from the Long Family to give gifts.
