Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧∀≦*)

Little Jing Kong gripped the railing of the viewing stand with both hands, his little head resting in the gaps between the bars, sighing audibly.

”JiaoJiao.”

He hadnʼt even gotten a chance to talk to JiaoJiao. He missed JiaoJiao so much.

But there were still ten days until the holiday.

Going to school was really cruel for a little child.

Once most people had left, Xiao Heng stood up, holding Little Jing Kongʼs hand as they walked down.

”Young Miss Gu, please wait.”

A servant girl came running after them.

This servant girl had been accompanying them in the pavilion earlier. She hadnʼt called out to Xiao Heng sooner or later but chose to do so after everyone else had left.

Xiao Heng didnʼt believe she had no ulterior motive.

He looked at her, inquiring with his eyes: Is there something?

The servant girl smiled and politely said, ”My young master actually came today as well, but he didnʼt show up at the stands. Itʼs now dinner time, and our young master would like to invite Young Miss Gu to the lakeside to enjoy the scenery of Shengdu.”

Xiao Heng signaled with his eyes to Little Jing Kong.

Little Jing Kong, with a deeply resentful look, pulled out a charcoal pencil and a small notebook from his little pocket and handed them to Xiao Heng.

Both were identical to Gu Jiaoʼs.

Xiao Heng wrote: ”Who is your young master?”

The servant girl said with a smile, ”Young Miss Gu will find out once she goes.”

”Is boating on the lake fun?” Little Jing Kong asked.

The servant girl beamed and said, ”Very fun! You can go fishing, enjoy the flower lanterns, and even set your own lotus lanterns afloat on the lake.”

Little Jing Kongʼs arms flailed excitedly behind him as he exclaimed, ”I want to go! I want to go!”

Xiao Heng gave the little guy a stern look, No, you canʼt go.

”Itʼs getting late, I should head back.” He wrote.

The servant girl was taken aback, clearly not expecting that even after her young master had shown such impressive prowess, this Young Miss Gu would still remain indifferent.

But she was indeed a well-trained servant as she quickly regained her composure, saying,”Itʼs getting late indeed. How about this? Iʼll arrange for someone to escort Young Miss Gu back to the academy.”

The academy was just a short walk away.

Little Jing Kong clung to Xiao Hengʼs leg and said, ”I canʼt walk anymore. Can you carry me?”

Eventually, Xiao Heng agreed to take the servant girlʼs carriage.

This mysterious young master, whoever he was, was able to reserve the best viewing platform in the entire venue, refrain from appearing throughout the entire game, and surreptitiously arrange for a seemingly inconspicuous yet luxuriously appointed carriage to enter the polo grounds at Lingbo Academy.

Xiao Heng descended from the stands and hadnʼt taken a single step when he was ushered into the carriage.

The carriage was made entirely of golden-threaded nanmu wood, also known as dragon wood, rumored to last for a thousand years without decay——a wood favored by Princess Xinyang for its enduring quality.

The carriage was escorted by four guards.

Xiao Heng couldnʼt gauge the other party’s martial arts skills, but from their aura, he felt they resembled the Dragon Shadow Guard of the State of Zhao.

So, were they elite warriors from the State of Yan, or something even more formidable?

As for Little Jing Kongʼs claim of being unable to walk, he wasnʼt lying. He had been frolicking all day, skipped his nap, and promptly collapsed against Xiao Heng in the carriage, already fast asleep.

The carriage left Lingbo Academy.

Just a few steps out, they heard the servant girl sitting outside call out dramatically, ”Young Master?”

Heh.

What a poorly executed script.

Xiao Heng frowned and lightly poked Little Jing Kongʼs face, who was sleeping soundly.

”How come youʼre here, Young Master?” The servant girl continued her act.

Xiao Heng remained seated in the carriage without lifting an eyelid, let alone pulling back the curtain to greet that young master.

”Ahem.” The young master cleared his throat.

It was unclear whether he signaled to the servant girl, but she turned around and gently parted the curtain, saying to Xiao Heng, ”Young Miss Gu, my young master earnestly requests an audience.”

The gap in the curtain was just enough for Xiao Heng to see the young master in his brocade clothes, and for the Young Master to see the ”top beauty” in her light veil.

Xiao Heng wore a veil that slightly obscured her features, revealing faint contours and complemented by her unparalleled eyes, showcasing her stunning beauty.

Xiao Heng glanced indifferently at the young master and then dropped the curtain with a snap.

The servant girl was so frightened she knelt on the outside carriage floor.

The young master in brocade clothes, however, did not get angry. He bowed slightly, saying with a smile, ”I apologize for my abruptness, please forgive me, Young Miss Gu.”

With that, he stepped aside to make way, signaling to the coachman to let the carriage pass him.

The wheels started moving again.

One of the guards in an embroidered uniform said, ”Junwang! She is too ungrateful! Youʼve gone to such lengths for her, and she still dares to give you the cold shoulder! I heard she is just from a lower country!”

Ming Junwang smiled faintly, watching the departing carriage, and said with determination, ”Beauties tend to be a bit proud and willful. Itʼs alright. This Junwang has plenty of patience.”

Their voices were not loud, and an ordinary woman wouldnʼt be able to hear their conversation, but Xiao Heng had exceptional hearing from a young age.

Xiao Heng frowned slightly.

This person is a Junwang?

If Gu Jiao were here, she would certainly recognize him as Ming Junwang from the Crown Prince Estate, who had appeared at Tianqiong Academy before.

”Junwang!”

Another guard came over.

”Youʼre back.” Ming Junwang asked, ”How is Nangong Lin?”

The guard reported in a low voice, ”Nangong Lin isnʼt doing well. After returning, he kept saying that the kid from Tianqiong Academy plotted against him. Heʼs asking Junwang to intervene.”

Ming Junwang pondered for a moment, ”Intervene by eliminating that kid? It shouldnʼt be too difficult. Just be discreet, since heʼs Qingchenʼs classmate. Donʼt let Qingchen find out.”

The guard cupped his fists, ”Yes, Junwang!”

Suddenly, Xiao Heng knocked on the carriage door.

The servant girl asked, ”Young Miss Gu, what are your orders?”

Xiao Heng took out a paper and the charcoal pencil and wrote: ”I have something to say to your Young Master.”

The servant girlʼs eyes lit up, and she quickly had the coachman turn the carriage around.

Ming Junwang was quite surprised to see the beautyʼs carriage return.

Xiao Heng slightly parted the curtain of the carriage window, looking at Ming Junwang with a cold gaze.

Even though the beautyʼs gaze was cold, it still stirred Ming Junwangʼs heart.

Ming Junwang smiled, ”Young Miss Gu, do you have something to discuss with me?”

Xiao Heng appeared hesitant.

Seeing the clear worry between the beautyʼs brows, Ming Junwang felt a twinge in his heart, ”Young Miss Gu… Have you encountered some trouble?”

After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Heng wrote: ”Indeed, thereʼs a bit of trouble, but Iʼm not sure if I should talk about it.”

Ming Junwang said, ”Young Miss Gu, feel free to speak.”

Xiao Heng looked conflicted as he wrote: ”The young master of the Nangong Family keeps pestering me.”

Ming Junwangʼs expression darkened.

Nangong Lin!

Xiao Heng sighed, his brow furrowed with a mix of emotions, his eyes filled with the hardships and helplessness of his situation.

He wrote: ”Forget it, consider I didnʼt say anything. The Nangong Family holds immense power, and I shouldnʼt let young master be troubled. Itʼs just... my unfortunate fate.”

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, ”Scared?”

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, ”The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?”

Shi Dai replied, ”Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, ”Donʼt abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, ”Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah.”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasnʼt finished his lines yet though…
