“Ahhh!” What am I even saying! What kind of young lady blatantly says a man is interesting like that! Good thing he didn’t respond. Please, don’t respond! As soon as the words slipped out, Zheng Hanrui’s cheeks flushed a deep red. She lowered her head, wishing her lamb soup would arrive quickly to ease the awkwardness hanging in the air.

"Everyone, take a look—have I missed anything?" A calm voice echoed in the officials' ears as Gu Ning'an set down his wolf-hair brush.

Worst case, I’ll just surrender as soon as I get up there.""Does a mere servant think he can outsmart me?"At that moment, Gu Ning’an, who had been silent for a while, smiled and said, "Let’s hope you can hold out long enough to say the word 'surrender.'"Hearing this, Ying Du looked puzzled."What do you…

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.

Sect Master Zitong nodded. “Then we’ll wait a little longer.” About the time it takes to burn a stick of incense later, a young man in black training clothes could be seen dashing toward them from the far end of the riverside.

The young beggar nodded thoughtfully, pointing at his twig-thin arm.“Then I’ll find some labor work tomorrow.”“Sure,” Ying Du teased, “with those scrawny arms and legs, you’ll probably only make five or six copper coins after a whole day of work.”Hearing this, the beggar’s eyes lit up.“Five or six copper coins? That’s plenty! Enough for two flatbreads!”“Brother Ying, where do you live? Once I earn money, I’ll treat you to some flatbreads!”“The flatbreads from Baldy’s shop…

Outside Yinsha Prefecture, the vast plains that should have been blanketed in white snow had been engulfed by a black flood. The million-strong army of the Yan Southern Army stretched out in a single, unbroken line, like an indestructible iron dragon. Shoulder to shoulder, foot to foot, their armor glinted cold and hard under the snowy light, and in the eyes of every soldier burned a fierce will to fight. At the front of the formation stood Yan Wuyong, clad in heavy armor and gripping a woodcutting axe,…
