When Mu Yuan and Wen Shang exited Ibaraki Airport, the driver arranged by Chris was already waiting at the entrance. As soon as he picked them up, he drove them straight to Tsuchiura to meet up with Chris. Chris had only booked a room for Wen Shang, not expecting Mu Yuan to tag along. When she went back to the front desk to check, she found out that the hotel was fully booked. “Sorry about this,” Chris said awkwardly to Mu Yuan. “How about this, I’ll try to get you a room at another hotel…-

Although the Yuan family’s residence in the capital had long been unoccupied, it still occupied a prime stretch of land without the slightest hint of modesty. The grounds remained largely deserted, with only a few servants left behind to handle daily sweeping and upkeep. If the master was expected to return to the capital, a message would be sent ahead from Jingzhou to alert them to prepare. As such, the servants were usually quite lax in their duties. One gatekeeper was practically half-deaf, and…-

“What kind of family is this Mu clan?” Ling Xun asked. This place was not far from the Yuan residence and sat in the upper district of the city. Anyone living here was unlikely to be a nobody. And yet, he truly had never heard of any prominent family in the capital with the surname Mu. Yuan Xi leaned toward the window for a look, then snapped impatiently, “I went straight to the Ninth Lord’s place when I first arrived in the capital. When would I have had time to look into trivial things like…

In the late afternoon at Baekragung, a confidential meeting was held, attended only by high-ranking officials. There were two matters to resolve. The first concerned Dan Woo Hyo, the Lord of Baekragung, who had been missing for ten years. The second involved Paeng Soso, who had vanished without a trace after leaving with him. Unlike previous meetings, someone new had taken a seat at the head of the table. That person was none other than Seol Buyeong. “This time, we’ll send the search party to…-

Chen Junyang asked Xiang Ye a second time, “Are you going back?” Xiang Ye countered, “Did you notice something?” Chen Junyang put away his phone. “The smell of blood.” He lunged forward and dashed out of the courtyard. The evening wind had turned bleak. There were hardly any people in the village, but off in the distance, a faint light glimmered from the woods. Upon closer inspection, it wasn’t just any light. It was coming from the temple by the pond, filtering dimly through the…-

Xiang Ye could not swim. Worse yet, he seemed cursed when it came to water. Chen Junyang could swim, but he was worried about leaving Xiang Ye alone on the island. His grip on the blade tightened. Frustration flared so strongly that he wanted to curse out loud. A violent edge gathered between his brows, and he looked ready to cut someone again. Xiang Ye, however, remained calm. “You go in. I’ll stay on shore and ring the bell.” Chen Junyang blinked. “What?” Xiang Ye walked over to the…

Yuan Xi was visibly surprised by the servant’s report, while Ling Xun shot upright from the bed like a dog catching the scent of a meaty bone. “Bring the person in for questioning first,” Yuan Xi said. But just as the words left his mouth, a thought struck him, and he asked, “Is it a servant from the Mu residence? Did the master come in person?” The servant replied, “Only a young boy was seen. Most likely he’s a household member from the Mu residence.” Yuan Xi nodded. “Then let…

Yuan Xi had spent many years away from the capital. Unless it concerned major events that could shift court politics, or specific individuals the Yuan family had instructed him to monitor, he rarely kept track. His knowledge of local affairs in the capital was far more limited than that of the household servants who remained behind. The gatekeeper, still eager to redeem himself after being scolded earlier, now stood at attention before Yuan Xi with a face full of obsequiousness. Every crease on his…

Now that the news of the rebellion in Liangzhou was confirmed, the capital had become a veritable tiger’s den. With his leg still injured, Ling Xun urgently needed treatment before he could act. But how the hell was he supposed to use this thing? He glared at that stupid scrap of paper until he nearly burned a hole through it and still could not figure out how to apply it to formation work. He wanted nothing more than to storm into the Mu residence and drag the man out by his collar. Just as he…

Ling Xun stood alone at the mouth of the empty alley. The setting sun dyed the stone road golden, casting a solitary, desolate shadow behind him. “Master Feng, is something wrong?” the servant from the Ministry of Civil Affairs asked cautiously. After Ling Xun’s sudden change of demeanor earlier, he no longer dared to be careless. Ling Xun continued gazing at the spot where that figure had disappeared. After a long pause, he finally said, “Nothing. I just thought I saw someone familiar. I…
