From about ten or so steps away, the old man in plain robes called out a greeting to Zheng Hanrui. She responded with a smile and a return greeting, then quickly pulled Gu Ning'an along as they stepped forward. When Gu Ning'an saw the old man’s face clearly, he was slightly stunned. Then he smiled and nodded politely. This old man in the plain robe was none other than the Imperial Preceptor he had once seen in Jiangling Prefecture! He was also the long-lived elder Zheng Hanrui had mentioned—already…-

The autumn wind had just begun to rise, tinting the sky with a faint golden hue. The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of ripening fruit and the crisp scent of fallen leaves. Clad in plain robes, the Grand Preceptor, accompanied by a dozen white-robed disciples, slowly guided a wagon loaded with rice and flour along the edge of a golden wheat field. It was harvest season, and the fields were dotted with villagers. When they caught sight of the wagon flying the flag of Great Wu, they instinctively…

“What are you mumbling about at the door!” “Are you going to continue studying or not!” Hearing the old cobbler's impatient shout from behind him, Ma Mingcai quickly turned around and brought the large bundle over to the table. The old cobbler looked puzzled. “Hey, I just don’t get it. Why are you so polite to a young man like that? Like he’s a senior or something.” Ma Mingcai froze. “I am the junior here.” The old cobbler paused, then said, “So it’s about seniority, huh? No…

Heyun Prefecture, inside the military command tent! Before a large walnut table, Yan Wuyong sat upright in his armor, and in front of him was a towering stack of scrolls piled like a small mountain. Staring at the scrolls, Yan Wuyong sighed heavily and said, “We now occupy over a hundred counties across three prefectures. The consumption of grain is truly immense. With the constant natural disasters, it's already difficult for us to be self-sufficient, and now we can’t even spare a single bit of food…

“Right now?” The gentle woman was startled. “Mr. Gu, the old cobbler lives in Siwu County. Even by carriage, it takes three days to get there!” “No matter,” Gu Ning'an waved his hand casually. “Just bring me whatever you intended to send him.” “Alright, I’ll be back in a moment.” The gentle woman quickly rushed out to gather the items. A cup of tea’s time later, she returned carrying a bundle half as tall as a person. As soon as she stepped through the door, she realized she…

The moon climbed into the sky, faintly visible behind the clouds. A cool evening breeze drifted gently by. At the entrance of a village, several middle-aged women were sitting together, chatting about trivial household matters. Every so often, hearty laughter erupted from the group. The old woman known as Blaze Five had cleverly blended into this "intelligence post" at the village entrance. At first, she thought she could learn a lot from this group of women. But all they talked about were things like…

As they approached the “Exquisite Craftsmanship” Tailor Shop, Zheng Hanrui excitedly explained to Gu Ning'an the origin of the nickname “Kind Cobbler.” It turned out that this so-called “Kind Cobbler” was none other than the current head of the tailor shop—Ma Mingcai. He had earned this title by constantly giving away shoes to his neighbors free of charge. Because Ma Mingcai hoped to craft a pair of shoes that would satisfy the immortal residing in the "Immortal's Residence,” he kept…

On a winding forest path, the gaunt and sallow-faced boy named Blaze Three walked slowly. The county town he was headed to was no more than one li away, and he deliberately slowed his pace to better mimic the mannerisms of a refugee. Shua! Shua! Suddenly, the sound of grass being cut came from the side. The boy, his eyes dull and lifeless, looked in the direction of the sound and saw a child, about ten years old, holding a wooden sword and slashing at the overgrown weeds in the woods. “Someone’s…

“Ah!!!” With a sharp shriek, Le Zeyan staggered forward, swinging his fists wildly as he charged at Qin Hao, his face set in a look of ready-to-die resolve! Seeing those feeble punches, Qin Hao remained rooted in place and sneered, “I’ll let you have one shot. After that, I won’t hold back.” One step, two steps, three steps! Thud! Just as he took the third step, Le Zeyan tripped over his own feet and slammed face-first into the ground... With a dull thump, the scene once again fell into…

Miss Qin? When they heard that surname, everyone inside the martial hall began to rack their brains, trying to recall any family with the surname Qin nearby. But after a moment of thought, everyone realized that not only in this remote "Qin Martial Hall," but even in the whole of Lexiang County, there didn’t seem to be many people with the surname Qin... In fact, the only two people with the surname Qin nearby were the martial hall's master Qin Jun and his son Qin Hao. But they were both men. Surely…
