22. Tell me. Bai Yuanxiu hadn’t expected Zhou Xiaoxiao to say something like that. A trick. Bai Yuanxiu knew that although Xiao Qing often poked fun at him or stirred up trouble, he never spoke without reason. He waited a while, and when he saw the person standing in the shadows remain silent, he sighed heavily in his heart. So stubborn. Glancing at the sky that was beginning to lighten, Bai Yuanxiu figured this wasn’t something that could be explained quickly. So he looked at the…- 80.2 K • Completed
- 23. The Consequences of Provoking Me The Left Protector of the Demonic Sect was a mystery. Some in the jianghu speculated that the sect deliberately kept his background a secret to ensure that his unparalleled martial arts could truly remain “one of a kind under heaven.” But what they didn’t know was that even within the sect, the Left Protector’s origins were shrouded in mystery. Aside from the Sect Leader, others only knew the tip of the iceberg. That included Bai Yuanxiu. Even before…

- 21. They were all deceived. In truth, according to Yuanxiu’s thinking, it would’ve been best to investigate the massacre of the Zhai family in Nanyang sixteen years ago without letting Xiao Qing know. Although he didn’t know what role Xiao Qing played in that event, he could guess—it was probably not a good memory for him. The capital of Dajing had a curfew, but for martial artists, the city walls were nothing more than a few extra bursts of internal energy to vault over. The imperial…

- 24. A Laughable Deception Since the calamity he suffered in his youth, Du Gujue had never encountered any real obstacles. The leader of the Sanxing Sect had spared his life, but to Du Gujue, that mercy was a humiliation—an unmistakable act of contempt. He saw it as a complete disgrace and vowed to take his revenge. In the desert, water was scarce. The entire Sanxing Sect relied on a single underground well for survival. But one day, the disciples began suffering from sharp abdominal pains, chest…

- 25. The Jade Bone Scripture Xiao Qing had been good-looking since he was little. At first, he was treated like a commodity and brought back to the den—but for some unknown reason, the plan changed midway, and he was sent instead to the snow-covered northern regions of Dajing. Zhou Xiaoxiao’s childhood may have been a lie, but at least it had a sugary disguise. Xiao Qing’s was different. In that desolate manor deep in Mount Anyang, time for Xiao Qing seemed frozen in a perpetual…

- 26. Who Is It That You Truly Like The sword light flashed like a rainbow, fast enough that there wasn’t even time to blink. If it hit someone, by the time they reacted, their head and body might’ve already parted ways. Bai Yuanxiu flicked his wrist in a flourish, and the shadow-like black iron sword returned to its sheath at his waist, leaving behind only a ground full of tattered leaves. Ye Nanxun rolled his eyes. All that just to trim a few branches for scenery? Even the Sect Leader was…

- 27. Escape At the time, the Sect Leader had only left Bai Yuanxiu with that one cryptic sentence, leaving him completely baffled. No matter how many times Bai Yuanxiu asked afterward, he acted like he hadn’t heard. The next day, annoyed by Bai Yuanxiu’s persistent questioning, he threw out, “Figure out what Xiao Qing means to you first,” and ran off—leaving Bai Yuanxiu to stew over that question for days. The Sect Leader hid from Bai Yuanxiu. Bai Yuanxiu hid from the hall masters who…

- 28. I only care about you Feeling the cool touch on his back, Bai Yuanxiu wanted nothing more than to cover his face in shame. How could he react like that? Xiao Qing was just trying to check his injury. How could a single word send his mind spiraling that far? The fleeting coldness on his back made Bai Yuanxiu uncomfortable. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed and stammered, “It’s probably not that serious, maybe we—ow—” He winced and yelped in pain before he could even turn…

- 29. Meeting the Parents Bai Yuanxiu stepped forward and shielded Xiao Qing behind him, face cold as he stared at the furious man in front of them. The man’s beard trembled beneath his chin—he was clearly fuming. “In broad daylight—have you no shame!” Faced with this scolding at such close range, Bai Yuanxiu blinked in confusion. “Sorry, and… you are?” That one sentence was like a spark thrown into a barrel of gunpowder—the man’s hair nearly stood on end from rage. “I’m…

- 30. He’s really good to me. “Cough, cough, cough—!” Bai Yuanxiu was so startled he choked on air, coughing so violently it sounded like the heavens were falling. And then, as he looked up, that disheveled figure was suddenly right in his face. Bai Yuanxiu freaked out and swung a punch on reflex. The moment he threw the punch, he immediately panicked—he hadn’t held back at all. Normally, that kind of blow could snap a tree in half. If this “ghost” turned out to be human, it’d…
