Inside the tomb passage. Xu Qingzhao slowly finished narrating the beginning of the story. After a brief discussion, No. 3 Xing Tao, continued the tale. Still speaking from the perspective of Princess Anping, he recounted in a light tone: "After the martial arts competition that day, I found myself longing to meet Li Mu. After sending people to inquire for over three days, I learned that Li Mu was staying at a tavern in the city. So, disguising myself, I went there personally. That night, when I…-

Princess's Tomb, Second Trial—Land of Extreme Cold. After three rounds of the hand game, everyone raised their heads and looked at the uncouth Imperial Inspector Liu. In the end, he actually won. The heavens were truly childish… "Heh heh." Imperial Inspector Liu let out a deranged laugh. "Lady Luck has once again laid her gentle hand upon my head. Everyone, once I secure a complete coffin, I don’t plan on coming back down. I’ll dig a hole on the mountain and stay there for the night." "I…-

Gu Ning’an and Daoist Qingyuan each found a cushion to sit on and began discussing Daoism. It seemed as though they had completely forgotten that the purpose of their journey was to find the Bat God. After a conversation, Gu Ning’an learned a lot about Daoism in this world. In this realm, Daoism shared similarities with the one from his past life, but there were also distinct differences. For example, the Three Pure Ones, revered in the Daoism of his previous life, did not exist in this world.…-

"You don't want to eliminate it, sir?" Daoist Qingyuan asked, his face full of disbelief. Though he didn’t know the full extent of Gu Ning’an’s abilities, this man in the green robe had exuded an air of transcendence and otherworldly grace from the very beginning. How could someone with such a bearing stand by and watch as a wild deity caused trouble, even letting it escape? Gu Ning’an waved his hand dismissively. “No rush. The mud statue here isn’t the Bat God’s true form. Letting it…-

Having walked this route once before, Gu Ning’an and Mu Sheng made their return journey noticeably faster. As they passed a small alley, they suddenly noticed a group of constables in yellow uniforms, each wearing a long blade at their waist, stationed at the alley entrance. While chatting amongst themselves, they kept a close watch on every passerby. As they drew closer, cries of pain and curses could be heard intermittently from within the alley. "Speak! Where are those smugglers hiding?" "Damned…-

As they walked forward a few steps, the roadside was lit with lanterns, and the bustling shops were mostly gambling houses. The clatter of dice, the sound of tiles colliding, and the gamblers' shouts blended together, shattering the silence of the snowy night. Along the way, Gu Ning’an and Mu Sheng saw many desperate gamblers causing trouble, only to be beaten up by the gambling house enforcers and thrown into the snow. Each time Mu Sheng witnessed such a scene, her brows furrowed for a long…-

The howling cold wind carried heavy snowflakes, blanketing the world in white. During this Minor Snow solar term, anywhere in the Huainan region was a scene of pure snow-covered landscapes. Mu Sheng, wearing a felt hat and a thick cotton coat, glanced at Gu Ning'an, who was dressed as usual in a thin green robe, and couldn’t help but ask, “Master Gu, aren’t you cold at all? Just looking at you makes me feel cold.” Gu Ning'an smiled and replied, “Not at all. That felt hat suits you well.” A…-

Two days later, on a completely different forest path. After parting ways with the traveling merchant and his group, Gu Ning’an and Mu Sheng continued heading southwest. The day was sunny and bright, with the snow on either side of the forest path gradually melting under the warm sunlight. After walking for over ten miles, the sun had begun its descent in the west, and the two found themselves on a main road called Yangqu. On the right side of the road was a small river, not too wide, with thin…-

Inside the guest room, Gu Ning’an and his group of four had gathered together. The traveling merchant suddenly realized, “So it turns out Old Han found his nephew. No wonder he’s been acting like a lunatic.” “I thought he’d lost it and suddenly developed some weird hobby…” “Shut up! You’re the one with weird hobbies!” After throwing out a curse, Han Yong turned to Gu Ning’an, unable to hold back his excitement. “Master Gu, why don’t we head over right away? What if we miss…-

Knock knock knock! A soft knock sounded on the door. “Master Gu, are you still awake?” Hearing Han Yong’s voice outside, Gu Ning’an, who had been toying with the newly formed strand of Worldly Qi in his hand, revealed a look of “as expected.” Earlier, as he was about to sleep, a strand of Worldly Qi belonging to the traveling merchant suddenly appeared. Through this Worldly Qi, he saw the conversation between the merchant and Han Yong. Learning that the merchant was deliberately stalling…-
