Mo Hun never expected to be tricked again.
The head of the Confucian school tricked him into coming over and struck him with a palm, thus trapping him completely.
Seeing that Mo Hun had been subdued, the Grand Master hurriedly stepped forward, his expression quite excited, "Well done, you've been a great help this time!"
Kong Jia's eyes were indifferent. "It's all what this old man should do."
As he spoke, he tucked the sealed black energy into his robes.
This action left the Grand Master dumbfounded.
Seeing this, Mozi quickly grabbed Kong Jia's hand, "What are you doing?"
This was a gift that the Grand Master had carefully prepared for Ying Zheng. If it were to be taken away by Kong Jia like this, it would be a terrible thing.
Kong Jia looked at him with a puzzled expression, "What? What are you doing?"
Mozi frowned. "This is a gift we prepared for His Majesty. How could you put it in your own possession?"
Upon hearing this, Kong Jia looked at the black mist with a puzzled expression, "Did it write your name on it?"
Mozi was speechless for a moment.
The Grand Master looked at Kong Jia and said, "Although the Ink Soul is now sealed by you, it has always belonged to the Mo family. Your taking it for yourself is not in line with the Confucian way, is it?"
Mozi's expression also turned serious. "That's right. We've been friends for many years. If you do this, we can't even be friends anymore."
Upon hearing this, Kong Jia immediately threw the black energy to Mozi, saying, "Watch carefully to prevent any accidents. I was just joking with you guys, but you took it seriously."
Seeing this, Mozi breathed a sigh of relief, "You old geezer!"
Kong Jia looked at the Grand Master and said, "I have done my part, so don't forget to say a few good words for me to His Majesty."
The leader nodded slightly. "That's natural."
But then the Grand Master seemed to remember something and looked at Kong Jia, saying, "But you just swore an oath on the honor of Confucianism, is that alright?"
Kong Jia looked utterly bewildered. "What oath?"
Upon hearing this, Mozi and the Grand Master exchanged a glance, their expressions quite complex, and neither of them spoke.

On the street, the little one wandered around the various stalls, his eyes shining, "Mommy, I want to eat this, and this too, and I want to eat this one too!"
Consort Shu stood to the side, her face full of helplessness. "Was it a bit hasty of me to promise him he could eat his fill?"
Watching the little guy move cunningly between the stalls, Xiangqin's expression was quite complicated. "Maybe a little."
She knew how greedy the little guy was; he would always eat until he was stuffed when no one was looking, and Consort Shu was always very worried about him.
Consort Shu sighed softly, "Never mind, I'll just keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't eat too much."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiangqin's expression changed, "Where is the young master?"
Consort Shu was startled and looked up, only to see that the little guy who had just been standing in front of the stall had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
She panicked, "I was just here a moment ago, how could it have happened so quickly..."
"Send people to search immediately!"
In the quiet alley, the little one held two hands full of food, his big eyes shining. "It's not that I want to run around, Mommy, it's just that if you keep an eye on me, you won't let me eat a lot of things."
After he finished speaking, he took a big bite of the meatball in his left hand, and rich meat juices gushed out, the aroma of meat instantly filling his entire mouth.
The little guy was engrossed in his food and didn't notice the several burly men who were sneaking around the alley entrance. After looking around, they quietly slipped into the alley.
The little guy was eating when suddenly a dagger was thrust in front of him. "Kid, be quiet and come with me, or I'll kill you!"
The little guy looked up and saw a fat man staring at him with a fierce look on his face.
The little guy was startled, then became wary and hid the food behind his back. "Shameless scoundrel, even stealing things from a child!"
The man with the knife sneered, "Don't try anything funny. You'd better tell me the truth about whose child you are, and I'll get the money and you'll be safe and sound."
A thin man standing nearby chimed in, "Boss, I've observed him closely. Even his maids are dressed very differently; they must be top-quality. This kid's family is definitely rich!"
Another short man chimed in, "If possible, we should get a few more maids. Any one of them is so pretty. Let them pick the prettiest ones to exchange for. We brothers will be so lucky."
Upon hearing this, the men exchanged smiles, their eyes revealing a greedy glint.
Just as the two were laughing, a figure flew over and kicked out with a powerful kick, sending the fat man flying.
He was a young man in a black robe.
The other two men were also taken aback, then sneered, "You're asking for death!"
As soon as they finished speaking, they picked up their daggers and slashed at the young man in black robes.
But the young man in black robes was agile, dodging the attacks of the two men to the left and right, and then punching and kicking them, instantly knocking them to the ground.
The old man following behind the young man in black robes looked helpless. "I told you not to meddle in other people's business."
The young man in black robes had a calm look in his eyes. "Are you expect me to just sit idly by and watch a child suffer?"
Upon hearing this, the old man shook his head and sighed slightly.
The little fellow looked at the black-robed youth, his expression changing slightly, a rare shock appearing in his eyes, "This is outrageous, beyond the mortal realm! Who are you?"
The young man in black robes was taken aback, staring at the little guy with a puzzled expression, "Innate talent?"
The little guy stared straight at him. "What's your name?"
Although still somewhat doubtful, the young man in black robes replied truthfully, "Xiang Yu."
