Maybe I just didn't sleep well last night. Here's the translation draft you asked for this week." Naoko handed her a file.After receiving the file, Mari looked at her with a hint of concern. "Are you sure you're okay?"Seeing the worry in her eyes, Naoko smiled and replied, "I'm really fine. Also, can you give me a few more drafts to…

      Chapter 129: Stone Bamboo Village Cover
      by Potato In the mountain forests after the rain, mist lingered, enveloping the distant peaks. Half-hidden in the clouds, the mountains’ full majesty was obscured, leaving an air of mystery. The first rays of morning sunlight pierced through the mist, casting the wilderness in the soft hues of an ink wash painting. Inside the wooden hut turned classroom, the “three little quails” were each covered with a thin blanket, sprawled haphazardly on the ground in deep slumber. Gu Ning’an stepped out…

      Chapter 128: A Scholar’s Uselessness Cover
      by Potato The woman alternated between scolding and pouring out the worries she’d carried for Li Fangchang over the years. She truly treated him as her own son—perhaps even more so than her actual child, investing far more effort and care into him. Li Fangchang wasn’t ungrateful; he too regarded this woman as his mother. So, even now, as a grown man, he didn’t mind when she scolded or beat him. He knew it was her way of expressing love. At this moment, the storm raged outside, while the…

      Chapter 127: Strong Determination (Zhengzheng) Cover
      by Potato At an old wooden table, a nervous Li Fangchang sat across from the charming woman, wringing his hands repeatedly. After a long pause, he stammered, “May… may I ask for the lady’s name?” The woman extended her index finger, dipped it lightly in the tea before her, and began writing on the table. “Yu Zhengzheng?” Li Fangchang read the delicate script on the table and couldn’t help joking, “Miss, you’re so graceful, but your name sounds so strong and unyielding.” “Hehe…”…

The shockwave swept…

      Chapter 126: Entrance Cover
      by Potato Lei Yin touched the very distinct tire tracks on the ground and exchanged a glance with Chang'an.  Chang'an nodded, and Lei Yin stood up, motioning for the group to follow the tire tracks down the road.  After walking about a kilometer, the tracks disappeared in front of a large cave.  "Sir, should we go in?" Chang'an asked quietly.  Lei Yin shook his head. "This is clearly a base, and this cave must be the main entrance. The interior is bound to be filled with…

      by Potato "Mr. Gu, do you think Sister Hu and Teacher Li were a good match?" Wang Sheng asked curiously. Gu Ning'an smiled and replied, "It's hard to say. Whether they're suitable or not is up to them." "Oh, Wang Sheng, what a pointless question!" "Sister Hu seems like a good-natured person, but the size difference between her and Teacher Li is just too much. Of course, they're not a good match," Tang Zi interjected. Nearby, Sun De nodded sagely and added, "Confucius said, 'When paths differ,…

However, after a few words, they became increasingly talkative, each outdoing the other. Before a stick of incense could burn out, the three students had spilled all the details about their teacher.
