Wu Ci was deeply curious why Hua Rongyue suddenly decided to help them—but… he didn’t dare ask. Among the group, he was the only one who knew of Hua Rongyue’s other side. To the rest, she seemed like a kind stranger offering to guide them, so they were only mildly grateful, with no other suspicions.…

Hua Rongyue didn’t notice Wu Ci and his companions sitting at the small teahouse by the street. She was currently busy trying to cover Li Jingyi’s share of the chores—tasks like grocery shopping, which weren’t usually her responsibility, had now fallen to her. In fact, Hua Rongyue’s cooking skills were decent: average among women, but…

The next day, Hua Rongyue found a sword for Li Jingyi and told everyone at Baicaotang that she was her younger cousin. Something had happened at her family’s home, so until she could find someone trustworthy to take her in, she would be staying with her. Doctor Qi was a very easy-going person. He agreed…

Perhaps even Hua Rongyue herself didn’t know why she reached out her hands at that moment. She had always been someone who disliked trouble, but in a moment of heat, she instinctively extended her arms. The moment Li Jingyi fell into her grasp, she realized she’d taken on a burden—one she clearly couldn’t throw away…

There are many tragic girls in the martial world, and Li Jingyi was undoubtedly one of them. Her name suggests her parents wished for her to be quiet and obedient, but Li Jingyi was not.

The first thing Jiang Lianhuan did when he came over today was ask her if she could still recall that feeling from that day. Hua Rongyue thought he wanted to help her relive what it felt like to be a blade saint. But after she twirled the blade a few times in front of him,…

A person who can make others feel captivated simply by being themselves—that’s a kind of natural talent. Hua Rongyue had an inherently beautiful face—one of the precious legacies left to her by Yi Linglong. But having a beautiful face alone wasn’t enough. Yi Linglong herself was a very striking example of that truth. Crafting a…

After receiving the other party’s affirmative answer, Hua Rongyue’s expression didn’t show any fluctuations, as if she had merely received a result she had long expected. But only Hua Rongyue herself knew how hard it was to maintain that composure. Because what the second-in-command just said made “her” feel so delighted she nearly burst into…

No one dared step into the deadly space between the two combatants. Most didn’t even dare sneak a glance, afraid to draw the attention of that mad figure. Only a few hidden lunatics lurking in the shadows dared to look directly at her. What made Yi Linglong truly terrifying wasn’t just her martial prowess—it was her understanding of…
