In that very instant, the Crown Prince’s mind went completely blank for a split second. All he could perceive was the afterimage of that sword-light, streaking straight toward him. He had never been one to lack decisiveness—he had survived multiple assassination attempts in the past and had always maintained composure and calm, even during dire moments. There were times when assassins struck while his guards fought bitterly outside, yet he could still pour and sip his wine with ease. But this time…-

Tat-tat-tat The sound of galloping hooves sped along the official road, from the capital heading southeast toward He Valley Prefecture and Fushui County. Couriers bearing documents came and went without pause, hastily delivering them to the local yamen. Before long, proclamations were posted up one after another. All were warrants for the arrest of Lu Liangsheng. Beside his name was the portrait of Sun Yingxian, a sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked fellow with a crooked mustache, and—hm—even that…

The night wind over the wilderness grew ever fiercer. In the depths of the dark night, the outlines of the mountains stretched dimly forward. The rustling sounds all around came from the trees swaying on either side of the road, and from a lone figure carrying a coffin upon his shoulders. The mud-stained coffin pressed against the straw raincoat and wooden leaves on his shoulder, producing a creaking, rasping sound. On the way back south, the suppressed emotions that had erupted atop the imperial…

Although Zhang Xiaohua kept saying, “No rush, no rush,” how could Zhang Cai bear to let his son, who had just returned from a brush with death, go hungry? Before they’d even had a few sips of tea, Guo Sufei and Li Jinfeng’s mother returned from next door. Upon seeing Zhang Xiaohua, Auntie Li once again poured out her thanks, so much so that Zhang Xiaohua was at a loss for words. He had only done a good deed, yet was thanked three or four times over, which left him feeling rather…-

Although Zhang Xiaohua had gained much just now, after a bit of calculation, he realized that the longest and most exhausting part, the evolution of the Heavenly Dao, was utterly incomprehensible to him. The meridians as bright as the starry sky required a cultivation method he did not possess; the mysterious purple qi, whose effects remained unknown, had vanished somewhere within his body; and all that was left was that strand of golden light transformed from the innate formation. When it came to…

Li Jinfeng had, in fact, only met Qiu Tong once at the Lotus Escort Agency, and that was more than five years ago. Could it be that he’s still pining for her after all this time? Zhang Xiaohua truly couldn’t be sure. Was this what people called love at first sight? Suddenly, a thought struck Zhang Xiaohua: “Could it be that Young Master Li is still unmarried even now?” Of course, he wasn’t foolish enough to ask such a thing outright. Instead, he simply smiled and said: “Big Brother Li,…

Hearing the sound of a child crying, Zhang Xiaolong rushed into the small courtyard, not sparing a glance at the others gathered there. He ran straight to his mother’s side, his face full of concern as he looked at his child. When he saw the baby, his brows knit together. He asked: “Mother, why did you bring the child outside without wrapping him in a quilt? On such a cold day, aren’t you afraid the child will catch cold?” Guo Sufei forced a bitter smile, about to reply, when the midwife, who…

It was nothing but absolute darkness. Not only were his eyes blind, but even his heart was shrouded in pitch-black gloom. Yet, in this place where not even a sliver of light could be found, Zhang Xiaohua felt an inexplicable sense of safety. It was as if, all around him in the darkness, there existed a presence that was both intimately familiar and utterly strange. Upon careful reflection, Zhang Xiaohua realized, wasn’t this presence the very Dao of Heaven he had sensed during his two moments of unity…

“Lord Min, you mustn’t!” Zuo Zhengyang, arms folded and leaning against the wall, called out. Min Changwen, who had just stepped past the doorway, glanced at him, lips pressed tight. “I cannot bear for an old friend to be left without even an epitaph. You would not wish that either, would you?” The wind blew in through the open door. Zuo Zhengyang, who had been about to dissuade him further, closed his mouth. Looking toward that scholar, he silently turned his head…

In a secluded courtyard within the Prefectural City of Zhongzhou. “Hahaha, why must Your Highness be so courteous?” “If leisure permits, Bendian shall naturally pay a visit to the sights you speak so fondly of in Central Province(Zhongzhou).” “Merely hearing your descriptions fills my heart with delight. My mind already yearns for it. However, you also know my nature—state affairs are pressing. Each day’s schedule is long prepared. From the moment the morning dew is born with the…
