In the living room, people from the Confucian and Mohist factions sat on opposite sides.
On the left were Yan Hanqing, a Mo Sect disciple who had interacted with Jiang Li before, and Mu Lingyi.
On the right sat the most famous contemporary figure from the Imperial College, "Creation Divine Blade" Zhong Shenxiu, and Ming Yang, who had traveled to Yong Province with the Heir of King Lu.
The four people from the two factions, although they had not started fighting or arguing, sat amidst a chilly atmosphere that clearly depicted the tension between them.
Zhong Shenxiu sat upright in his chair, his long blade across his knees, his eyes slightly closed, as if meditating in anticipation of the host's arrival.
Ming Yang, on the other hand, locked gazes with Yan Hanqing and Mu Lingyi opposite him, as sharp as needles clashing with wheat awns, like interweaving sword lights and blade shadows.
