"When does Mr. Wang Han plan to make his move?" Zhang Liang asked.
“When all the people who want to see me and the people I want to see have arrived, that’s when I will make my move,” Wang Han said.
"Mr. Wang Han means to wait for Ying Zheng to arrive." Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang and the others understood Wang Han's meaning. "Then who is Mr. Wang Han looking for?"
“Ying Zheng will come,” Wang Han said with certainty. “As for the person I want to see, you will soon find out. They only have two paths before them: one is a dead end, and the other is an unknown path.”
"Will Ying Zheng listen to you?" Zhang Liang asked worriedly. "Ying Zheng is determined to achieve immortality..."
“He has no choice,” Wang Han said. “He can’t stop me either. Moreover, although I can’t give him immortality, I can make him live longer. Compared to the illusory and unattainable immortality, what I can give him is something he can see and obtain in a real way.”
"Mr. Wang Han also knows how to prolong human life?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang and the others looked at Wang Han in surprise.
“Extending human lifespan, letting people live for decades or centuries longer, and slowing down aging is not a problem,” Wang Han said. “As for achieving true immortality, I have indeed heard of a method.”
'No wonder Wang Han, despite his young age, is so knowledgeable and well-informed. I wondered how a young man could have such a broad range of knowledge and experience as Xunzi, and how his strength was so unfathomable. Turns out he's an old monster who has lived for countless years!' Zhang Liang thought to himself upon hearing this, but he didn't say anything or ask Wang Han about his method of prolonging life.
The other three also looked at Wang Han in astonishment, but none of them asked. It was clearly not something they should ask, nor was it something they could ask. Even if they were alive to know, they probably wouldn't live to do it, or even remember it. As for Wang Han, there were probably very few people who could deal with such an old monster.
At this moment, even Xunzi thought that Wang Han was an old monster who had lived for a very long time.
"Soon, Sanghai City will become more and more lively. The Yin-Yang School, the Military School, the Mohist School, the Taoist School, the Chu School, the Agricultural School, the Net, the Quicksand, and the Ba-Shu forces will all begin to gather here. More and more people I want to meet will come to Sanghai City." Wang Han said with a smile, "Xunzi, Zhang Liang, it's time for you to make your final choice with the Confucianism."
"Of course, our Confucian school stands on the side of the people," Xunzi said with a smile.
"That's good. I've been having a very pleasant time at your Confucian school lately," Wang Han said with a smile. He glanced at Zhang Liang and Yan Lu, then took a step and disappeared from the four people's sight.
The look in Wang Han's eyes as he left made the two men wary. It also made Xunzi and Fu Nian somewhat worried.
"Is the Taoist concept of 'a world within reach' or 'Zhuangzi's butterfly dream'?" Zhang Liang murmured to himself as he watched Wang Han vanish into thin air.
“No, it’s not. It’s a more advanced skill, or rather, it’s no longer a skill.” Xunzi shook his head and denied Zhang Liang’s idea. He said to Zhang Liang and Yan Lu, “It seems that Sanghai is about to become a bloodbath. Zhang Liang, Yan Lu, Wang Han will definitely make a move now. I can’t predict how things will turn out. You two must make the right choice. You must distinguish between national righteousness and personal grudges and feelings.”
"Yes, Uncle-Master." Upon hearing this, the two quickly responded.

'What exactly is his purpose? Supporting Qin and China is understandable, but why doesn't he take direct action?' Xunzi wondered. Wang Han's strength and methods were so numerous that almost no one in the world could stand against him. If Wang Han had directly helped Qin, Qin would probably no longer have to worry about rebellion. But Wang Han did not do that. Even though he knew that the Mohists were the most resolute faction against Qin, he did not take action. Instead, he helped the Mohists.
"I understand. He said he had traveled the world but had never seen an immortal." Xunzi suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "With his talent and learning, why would he need to visit all the schools of thought? Plus, he knows the art of prolonging life and possesses almost unparalleled strength. He probably wants to gather the strengths of all schools of thought and the power of the world, even the entire world, to become the first immortal. That's why he supports the Qin state but doesn't directly attack. He probably hasn't obtained everything he wants from the various schools of thought, so he doesn't want to take action against them to avoid them becoming too wary of him. Once he gets what he wants, perhaps..."
Xunzi dared not think any further; it was an answer stained with blood. He also dared not tell Fu Nian and the other two his suspicions, for he knew that revealing them might bring utter destruction to Confucianism, which was utterly powerless against Wang Han.

Time flies, and after the appearance of the giant ship mirage, Sanghai City became more and more lively, and more and more of Wang Han's prey entered Sanghai, the hunting ground he had chosen.
Ying Zheng, as the king of the world, is watched by countless bloodthirsty eyes in the shadows. Now, Ying Zheng is on an eastern tour, seeking immortality, and will inevitably come to Sanghai. Even before Ying Zheng arrives, figures hidden in the shadows have already emerged one after another. All those who are secretly watching are unwilling to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Ying Zheng is the bait, a bait that even Wang Han's prey cannot sit still.
——————————————
"Whoosh..." In the twilight sky, a shooting star with a long trail of flame streaked across the sky, passing over the mirage and across the mulberry sea, eliciting gasps of amazement from the people.
"Mars guards the heart." In his seaside cottage, Wang Han watched the shooting star streaking across the sky outside the window, put down his book, and stood up. "Whether it's real or not, I can't let it fall and bring about that so-called unfavorable prophecy."
