"Tomorrow is indeed an auspicious day," Gu Ning’an said with a nod and a smile. "Since the wedding is tomorrow, even if Patriarch Ren hadn’t invited me, I would have shamelessly stayed to share a cup of celebratory wine.""Sir, now that’s being too formal!" Patriarch Ren leaned in slightly, lowering his voice. "Others may not know, but how could I not know that you’re the savior of my Ren family?""Don’t just mention a cup of wine—if you asked for all the Ren family’s assets, I’d willingly…-

Staring at the words reflected in the mirror, Gu Ning'an felt as if a veil had been lifted from his mind after reading them. Now he could confirm without a doubt—he had arrived in this world long ago. He had simply been caught in cycles of reincarnation within the mortal realm, losing a large chunk of his memories.

The weather in the mountains changes quickly. At morning's end, the sun was still shining brightly, but by the third quarter of the hour before noon, the sky had turned overcast with dense clouds. Fortunately, the heavy rain didn’t fall until after Gu Ning’an had descended the mountain. Large raindrops splattered on the ground, treetops, and even birds, each producing distinct plip-plap sounds. In an instant, the once tranquil mountain path became lively. Birds and beasts either sought…

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…

Yawning, Wei Hai walked closer and said, “Everything went smoothly, and we even met the Old Man Emperor's teacher. We handed over the evidence to him and then left.”“Imperial Preceptor!”Patriarch Ren’s pupils trembled, and after a moment of silence, he turned to Gu Ning’an and the others. “After a night of travel, you must be exhausted. Hurry back and rest. With the Emperor’s teacher here, the Sun family won’t be able to stir up any trouble.”Gu Ning’an nodded and walked toward the…

At the three quarters into the hour of the Pig (9:45 PM), the bright moon hung high in the sky, and most households in Lexiang County had settled into silence. Only Ansi Courtyard remained lively. Under the kumquat tree, Wei Hai, his face flushed and reeking of alcohol, held up his wine bowl and clinked it against the tree.
