She seemed to have noticed his embarrassment.

Mu Caiwei laughed out loud, feeling slightly disappointed. However, she maintained her composure and said,””The strongest is probably Grand Preceptor ning!”

“Grand Preceptor?”

“A civil official?” ye chen was slightly surprised.

When he was in the North, in a large sect and dynasty, there was a clear distinction between civil and military. Although civil officials also practiced martial arts, their strength was not high.

However, mu Caiwei had said that the most powerful person in Dali dynasty was a civil official.

“You don’t know.”

“Grand Preceptor ning’s status in Dali is very high, even higher than the Emperor. He is known as the Saint of literature,” mu Caiwei said, shaking her head.

“It is said that Grand Preceptor ning is not from the heaven wind sea region, but from the middle state.” He raised his hand and brushed away the black hair on his forehead.

“The middle state?” Ye chen was surprised.

The Central Plains was one of the five major regions of the ancient barren world. It was also a place ye chen had never been to!

The first time he heard of it, it was from the Empress Dowager of the dynasty in the North, Yun Yi.

“Yeah, the central Prefecture!”

“The ancient barren world is divided into five regions,” mu Caiwei said.”They are the eastern barren territory, the Northern Territory, the southern region, the West earth, and the central continent. Strictly speaking, the heaven wind sea region is mixed in between these five regions.”

“Zhongzhou is known as the leader of the five major regions. It has gathered the fate of the entire ancient barren world. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a Holy Land …”

At this point, she paused and continued,””In the Central Plains, there are martial Saints who can pull up mountains, wine sword Immortals who can descend with their swords, and literary Saints who can communicate with the power of heaven and earth with their mortal bodies …”

“That is to say, this Grand Preceptor ning of Dali dynasty is a Sage of literature from the middle state?” Ye chen gradually came to a realization.

“That’s right. It is said that when the Emperor of Dali was still the Crown Prince, he traveled to Zhongzhou and met Grand Preceptor ning, who was studying at Jixia learning Palace.”

“Later on, Grand Preceptor ning chose to follow the Emperor of Dali and came to the heaven wind sea region. This has been going on for more than a thousand years,” mu Caiwei said.

“Jixia learning Palace?”

Ye Chen’s heart trembled.

I believe that any slightly cultured human on earth would be familiar with these words!

Jixia learning Palace was the earliest government-run institution of higher learning on earth. It was also the earliest Academy of Social Sciences and the government think tank. It was built during the Warring States period at Gongtian Wu of qihuan and was located near the capital of the state of Qi, Linji gate.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that this school was the best. In the world today, Yale and Harvard were nothing in front of it.

This was because this school had produced many great people during the spring and autumn Warring States period and even the Qin Dynasty. This included the current militarists, politicians, philosophers, and even the founding ministers of the country.

For example, Meng Zi, Xun Zi, and the other founders of the Confucian school came from Jixia learning Palace. Other than that, there were also Chunyu Bo, zou Zi, Tian pian, Shen Zi, and so on.

The Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, Li Si, was a disciple of Xun Zi. However, after the first emperor ascended the throne, he did not like Confucianism and preferred legalism. Li Si then joined the legalism.

All in all, Jixia Academy was the origin of the Hundred Schools of Thought, including Daoism, Confucianism, legalism, famous people, militarists, agriculture, Yin-Yang School, and so on.

“It seems that after the Nine Saints betrayed earth and came to the ancient barren world, they established Jixia Academy …” Ye Chen’s eyes flickered.

Thinking of this, he could not help but think of the enmity between the church and the nine families, and now the church’s power in the southern region was monstrous.

The two sides would clash sooner or later.

He looked steadily at mu Caiwei and asked, What’s the status of Jixia learning Palace in the middle state?”

“Supreme!”

“Jixia Academy has an influence on the entire ancient barren world,” mu Caiwei said.”It’s known as the only Holy Land, especially the head of the Academy, Lord libation. It’s said that he’s close to an immortal and has students all over the world …”

Ye chen nodded to himself.

“A thousand years ago, the sea Race of the heaven wind sea region was a threat, and the human race was weak. It was said that after the Emperor of Dali ascended to the throne, he appointed Grand Preceptor ning …”

Mu Caiwei’s Red lips parted slightly.”Grand Preceptor ning has enlightened the people with his poems and books, regardless of their status. He has made shocking contributions to the growth of the human race. Therefore, everyone sees him as a Sage of literature. Even the leaders of the other three forces have to show him some respect …”

“If the Grand Preceptor ning you speak of really has such a status, would the Emperor of the Dali dynasty tolerate him?” ye chen smiled.

As the Emperor of a generation, although he had a heart that could accommodate the four Seas and all things, he was still a man of great importance.

However, he was often the most petty because he could not tolerate anyone who could threaten his position or even challenge the Imperial power.

From the way the Dali dynasty had previously implemented the system of reducing feudal vassals and suppressed the feudal forces of the shepherd king’s castle, it could be seen that the Emperor of Dali was also a ruthless person.

Then the problem was, how could he tolerate the fact that Grand Preceptor ning had such a high reputation?

“Actually, it’s not like that …”

Mu Caiwei shook her head.”The current Emperor has absolute trust in Grand Preceptor ning. The ruler and his subjects are very harmonious. Even if someone in the Imperial court slanders Grand Preceptor ning, the Emperor will directly strip that person of his title and official position …”

“This is interesting.”

Ye chen smiled faintly.

In his opinion, the Emperor of Dali and Grand Preceptor ning were a bit like King Zhou of Shang and Grand Preceptor Wen in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

However, he didn’t know if the Emperor of Dali was King Zhou of Shang.

“Grand Preceptor ning has been cultivating for a long time and has become a saint through literature. It is rumored that he can kill any evil with his words of truth. His calligraphy has suppressed many members of the sea Race …” Mu Caiwei continued.

“No wonder such a person could become the number one person in the Dali dynasty!” Ye chen nodded slightly.

Then, the atmosphere between the two of them became a little silent.

Mu Caiwei turned around, her dark eyes sizing up Mengmeng, who was playing with Jiu ‘er, and smiled from the bottom of her heart,””This child is quite smart …”

After a few days of contact, she really liked Mengmeng, even though the latter had been hostile to her before.

Ye chen also looked at his daughter, his eyes full of love.””He’s not just smart. He’s simply too smart.”

“Where’s her mother?”

Mu Caiwei suddenly asked.

The smile on ye Chen’s face froze, as if he was unwilling to mention it.

The former’s eyes dimmed, and he whispered,””I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked …”

“It’s nothing, actually. ”

Ye chen shook his head.”Her mother has gone missing. To be honest, I’ve brought her out to look for my wife.”

“He’s missing?”

Mu Caiwei was stunned at first, but then she said guiltily, “I’m sorry. If there’s anything you need, just let me know. The Shepherd’s Castle will do its best. ”

Ye chen nodded slightly and did not say a word. He looked up at the endless sea below.

He had a premonition that there would be some unexpected gains on this trip to the Dali dynasty.

……

Time passed by slowly. In the afternoon of the same day, the flying boat arrived at the human city.

From a distance, everyone could see many towering giant cities standing below, surrounded by magnificent light screens of arrays.

“We’re here. ”

Mu Caiwei walked over and said softly,”This is the outer city of Ziyuan city. The capital is a hundred miles ahead …”
