Snoring wasn't really a big deal—as long as it was steady, you could get used to it and sleep through it. Teeth grinding was different though—it was sudden bursts of grinding and gnashing that came out of nowhere. If you were used to it, fine, but if not, you'd think someone was scratching wooden boards in the middle of the night. Teeth grinding was worse than snoring. Zhang He cursed silently with a gloomy face. 'How unlucky am I to have to watch over a pig for three months?' 'He wouldn't…-

The fifteen-year-old girl, Cheng Linwan, though somewhat playful like ordinary girls, was worthy of being called a young lady from a distinguished family. Under her grandfather's teachings, she was not only well-versed in poetry, books, and feminine virtues, but also understood propriety, appearance, speech, and accomplishments. Though still naive about worldly affairs, she understood one principle. Killing someone meant paying with one's life. "Grandfather, Xu Yan killed someone! He's in league…

Xu Yan was indeed quite helpless, because this person who was "traveling the same route" as him not only shared his meals and drinks, but even followed him to the latrine—they were practically inseparable. 'This wasn't traveling the same route at all—it was clearly surveillance.' "Brother, you're new here. We have rules at Yuan Mountain Stronghold—every new brother gets a fellow traveler. Don't worry, after three months, I won't be traveling your route anymore." The thin-browed, long-eyed…

Beside the carriage, the Third Leader rushed over in a few quick steps, yanked Xu Yan out of the cart, and snarled viciously, "Are you looking for death or what!" Actually, without the First Leader's orders, Lu Hai was already heartbroken by the broken inkstone and scattered calligraphy scrolls littering the roadside. He couldn't tell whether those scrolls were good or bad, but if the old man in the carriage really was the current Left Chancellor, how could the things he carried not be valuable? Just as…

Chapter 21: Startled Horse By the mountain road, beneath the barren hills. The disheveled young Taoist gripped the steel blade tightly, its tip piercing into the Cheng family servant's heart. The next moment, the surrounding mountain bandits erupted in thunderous cheers. The Cheng family servant, who had originally given up resistance and wanted to watch the other kill him with his own eyes, suddenly mustered all his strength for some unknown reason and grabbed hold of the steel blade. While…

Chapter 20: Silent Hint Xu Yan's intervention did not ease the crisis facing the Cheng family. His shameless self-preservation made Cheng Linwan in the carriage almost grind her silver teeth to powder. Cheng Linwan hated Xu Yan for being as cowardly as a mouse and consorting with wolves, but Cheng Yu felt no blame toward the young Taoist in his heart. Because not long ago, he had warned Xu Yan that killing a pig that had saved one's life was not good—keep it if possible. The implication of…

Chapter 19: Disaster from Heaven Inside the bumping carriage, the travelers were already drowsy. The mountain road wound its way forward, and the official road had become a mountain path. The two carriages had been traveling for a full two days. As long as they crossed this mountain range, they could return to the official road and then travel smoothly all the way to the capital of the Pu Kingdom. Qiyuan Mountain—that was the name of the place the carriages were passing through. To travel…

Chapter 17: Two Carriages Outside the small town, the young Taoist priest held his little black pig and gazed at the white clouds on the horizon with a silly grin. As for whether there would be flatbread to eat, Xu Yan never bothered to think much about it. His goal was to be a pig that ate its fill and slept, slept its fill and ate. Whether the next meal would bring an empty stomach or a butcher's knife, pigs don't think too much about such things. Think too much, and you're no longer a…

Chapter 18: Traveling Together Being called a stupid pig by others, Xu Yan didn't get angry. He scratched his head and let out two dry laughs, looking somewhat embarrassed and helpless. "Those who insult others will be insulted in return; those who respect others will be respected in return. Girl, have you forgotten all of grandfather's teachings?" Cheng Yu smiled apologetically at Xu Yan, then turned back to scold his granddaughter with an extremely stern tone, his expression frighteningly…

Chapter 16: The Pig That Eats Tigers Dawn broke on the horizon, painting the sky with the first pale light. After locking the main hall doors from the inside, Xu Yan nimbly climbed out along the roof. In the empty hall, a large bluestone brick—the kind used for paving roads—was missing from behind one of the statues. A transparent pearl lay quietly in the gap where the brick had been, while high above it, in the depths of the domed ceiling, hung a faint blue shadow. The sun lazily climbed…
