What nonsense, He Mian thought Su Yun’s eyes were merely for show, and pointed at the painting. “Don’t you have any other questions? Like, when was this painting…”

A burst of ringtone interrupted the conversation. Su Yun glanced at her phone, saw it was a voice message from her mother, and immediately made a shushing gesture, preparing to sit up and take the call.

He Mian refused, holding Su Yun down so she couldn’t move.

...

Six thousand expeditionary troops. Excluding the three thousand who joined along the way, An Nan had the remaining three squads of musketeers select a thousand men to station at the Winterfell Domain.

It had originally been a casual remark, but the moment the question was asked, an unexpected curiosity and anticipation bloomed within.

The Scholar nodded slightly, secretly relieved. After all, before, it had only been the shadowy figure’s claim; he couldn’t be certain there truly was such a rule. Now, hearing the elder state it himself, he could finally set his mind at ease.

In these times, common folk who lived by water could generally swim. In the height of summer, everyone would flock to the rivers, which led to children drowning every year. Later, Cao Xiu stepped in and said that water ghosts needed to drag a substitute down to be freed, and only then did the situation improve somewhat. Even now, play was kept to the shallows.

In truth, she could completely understand Su Zhinian’s choice of Su Ke’er. After all, that was his bloodline’s continuation.

Wang Jian and Li Si followed behind, walking to the left and right. They had intended to leave earlier, but Cao Xiu simply refused to sleep, never giving them the chance. In the end, it was Wang Jian’s cunning that prevailed; he managed to sneak them out through a tunnel.

Fusu was now truly alarmed and hurriedly bowed in apology. He swore by all that was good and sacred that he had never even considered such a thing. But the moment the emperor mentioned it, he snapped back to his senses.

The result was that the city’s Royal Guard suddenly turned rabid, hunting down those who had previously violated the Liberty City statutes with impunity.

The atmosphere shifted in an instant. The first two questions had been met with frank and lively responses, but when it came to this final one, the manager emphasized there was only one chance. In the earlier conversation, Lu Mingfei had already let slip that he’d never been in a relationship. How could he speak of love without regret, when he’d never even been in love?

The morning after the king stone was cut, the Scholar’s group, together with Liu Yang and the others, set out for Yangon to fly home. Before their departure, Xie Guangyao warmly invited the Scholar to visit the imperial capital.

He was neither self-abasing nor regretful, but his self-awareness was brutally clear. He knew from the beginning what he could and could not take, and drew a hard line between himself and everyone else.

Though the negotiations fell through, seeing Liu Yiji awkwardly squirm in his seat left Tan Yaoyu, the instigator, in an unaccountably good mood. She was always willing to go the extra mile for anything that could make the Liu family eat humble pie.

Of all the martial artists present, aside from Ling Chen and Luo Yu, Cui Hongzhi and Yang Shuo possessed the strongest spiritual power.

She knew perfectly well that no matter how deep the trust between the Yang and Xun families, they were still two separate houses and could not be mingled as one. She did not want Miyang to bear any ill will toward her cousin because of Xun Yu.

Cheng Yun called and told Qin Mu that the Cheng family had tried to investigate using their connections, but all they learned was that the Tianyang Sect was somewhere in the Mingyun Mountains—no one knew the exact location.

Tang Long had previously investigated Tiger Serpent. Tiger Serpent had always coveted the Tiger family’s estate, which Erfen also confirmed. However, a new problem emerged: Tiger Serpent had proactively provided clues to the police for Tiger Leopard’s arrest. Previously, he’d schemed to seize the family business, and Eighteen Lady’s actions had also been for the estate. But then Tiger Serpent was suddenly killed—was his death linked to the Tiger family’s assets?

Yan Sui shot her a “good sense” look, then pointed towards the guest room. Only after settling Lin Ran in did he begin to help her investigate her identity.
