This place was a “playground” built to serve the mad — so naturally, there were no shortage of lunatics hiding among them. Normally, they might remain secluded in the mountains, but tonight they had all come out — many likely “clients” of this twisted haven. They were vicious people to begin with, and now they…

The sudden sight of the scene before them left the three observers momentarily stunned. Gu Xia gasped softly, “Oh no… are we too late?” “This is bad. What if his cover is blown?” Shen Qinglan said anxiously. “I don’t know,” Jiang Lianhuan replied, shaking his head. Gu Xia drew his sword. His usual baby-faced smile…

In the middle of the night, as Hua Rongyue lay with her back to Wu Wangyan, she suddenly opened her eyes. She had heard a sound outside. Wu Wangyan was still awake behind her, but he didn’t see her eyes open. As she abruptly awoke, Hua Rongyue realized something was wrong—her eyes were stinging slightly,…

After the initial chaos and confusion, Hua Rongyue gradually regained her composure. Ironically, the person who helped her snap back to reality was Jiang Lianhuan, still tied to the wooden post outside.

Before setting out, Hua Rongyue had carefully considered how she should act for this…

With encouragement from Jiang Lianhuan — whose thinking was starkly different from the conservative mindset of the times — even Hua Rongyue, a modern soul, gained some confidence in the task she was about to undertake. However, the more she thought about it, the more absurd it felt — she actually needed to draw confidence…

Li Zixin’s tone carried a hint of reassurance, as if he were trying to ease the nerves of Hua Rongyue, who was visiting for the first time. In truth, Hua Rongyue herself wasn’t sure why he chose to walk alongside her — maybe he had seen a similar quality in her, or maybe, as fellow…

Upon hearing Doctor Qi’s suggestion, Hua Rongyue calmly took out a lantern — it looked dull and dusty, not eye-catching at all. Wu Ci had been standing off to the side, seemingly frozen after hearing Doctor Qi’s words. He watched Hua Rongyue in silence for a long moment. When she pulled out the plain little…

The news that Yi Linglong had successfully taken the lantern from Drunken Residence Pavilion spread across the entire martial world overnight.
