On the day Nangong Li was killed, the polo players from Tianqiong Academy had coincidentally entered the imperial palace to meet the Emperor.

He asked, ”Did Nangong Li infiltrate the imperial palace to stop Xiao Liulang from meeting the Emperor?”

The Crown Prince replied, ”It seems so. This prince only learned later that the people from Tianqiong Academy had entered the imperial palace, and Xiao Liulang was among them.”

The night before the incident, Nangong Li had told the Crown Prince that he had seen Xiao Liulang on the streets. The Crown Prince instructed him to find Xiao Liulang, and the next day, Nangong Li did locate him. However, before he could report to the Crown Prince, he entered the imperial palace to assassinate Xiao Liulang.

As a result, he died there.

Han Ye asked again, ”So was he killed by Xiao Liulang?”

The Crown Prince shook his head, ”Xiao Liulang doesn’t know martial arts. This prince suspects it was an expert hidden by the Crown Princess who killed Nangong Li.”

The reason the Crown Prince had this suspicion was that all the embroidered-uniform guards he sent to assassinate the Crown Princess were dead. He simply couldnʼt believe that there wasn’t a powerful expert by her side.

Han Ye said seriously, ”Xiao Liulang does know martial arts. I just fought him today.”

The Crown Prince, lost in thought, replied, ”That doesn’t make sense. Nangong Li told this prince that Xiao Liulang was a weak scholar, with no strength to even truss a chicken. He said he easily captured Xiao Liulang before.”

Han Ye frowned, ”Could Nangong Li have made a mistake? Xiao Liulang’s martial arts are not weak. My master, Qi Xuan, also fought him and praised that in a few more years, Xiao Liulang’s martial skills might even match mine.”

The Crown Prince wasn’t foolish. He quickly realized something was amiss. He asked, ”What does the Xiao Liulang you fought look like?”

Han Ye replied, ”Your Highness, may I borrow some paper and a brush?”

The Crown Prince gestured for him to use them as he pleased.

Han Ye was skilled at drawing, and in no time, he sketched a portrait of Xiao Liulang.

The birthmark on Xiao Liulang’s left cheek was distinctive, and the Crown Prince recognized the other party almost immediately, ”It’s him?”

Han Ye responded, ”Yes, it’s him. That’s Xiao Liulang.”

The Crown Prince said, ”What this prince means is, he’s that polo player. I’ve seen him before. This prince didn’t pay much attention to which academy he was from, but I remember they were competing against Che’er’s academy and the Han Family’s Black Wind Cavalry horses.”

Han Ye said, ”That’s Tianqiong Academy!”

The Crown Prince’s expression changed, ”What?”

At the time, the Crown Prince hadn’t taken much interest in the polo player, so he didn’t ask for the person’s name.

If he had asked, perhaps Nangong Li wouldn’t have had to die.

Nangong Li thought the Xiao Liulang from Tianqiong Academy was the real one, which was why he went to stop him from meeting the Emperor. But since the person was an imposter, it wouldn’t have mattered if the Emperor met him.

The Crown Prince slammed his fist on the table, ”Damn it!”

Xiao Liulang’s identity had been taken by someone else. So, where was the real Xiao Liulang?

Han Ye, not being foolish, grasped the critical point and quickly asked, ”Your Highness, the Xiao Liulang from Tianqiong Academy is a fake? Then who exactly is the person you intended to assassinate?”

The Crown Prince took out a portrait from the bookshelf and pointed at the graceful man depicted, ”It’s him.”

Han Ye, being a man, wasn’t usually concerned with how other men looked, but even he was momentarily struck by the man’s extraordinary looks.

This person’s demeanor and appearance were in no way inferior to Mu Qingchen’s.

The Crown Prince said coldly, ”I thought we had already determined his whereabouts, but now the situation has come full circle. He’s in the dark, completely hidden in the inner city under an unknown identity.”

Han Ye carefully memorized the man’s features, ”I know what to do now.”

The Crown Prince’s gaze turned icy, ”No matter the cost, do not let him meet the Emperor!”

Han Ye bowed deeply, ”Han Ye will follow Your Highness’s command!”

Upon leaving the Crown Prince Estate, a trace of disdain appeared on Han Yeʼs face.

”Nangong Li, to think you fell to the hands of two young lads. It seems your death wasn’t unjust; you simply died because of your own stupidity. The Han Family does things with far more competence than you ever did! What you failed to accomplish for the Crown Prince, I will complete. Look carefully from the underworld and see just how great the difference is between the Nangong Family and the Han Family!”

......

As the sky began to lighten, Little Jing Kong was scooped out of bed by Xiao Heng.

Last night, Little Jing Kong tried to run away again to find Gu Jiao, but Xiao Heng caught him and brought him back. He pouted and refused to sleep—though that didn’t last more than three seconds.

However, without being able to see JiaoJiao, he felt like a soulless little puppet.

He brushed his little teeth expressionlessly, washed his little face expressionlessly, changed into his academy uniform expressionlessly, ate a little something, and was then led by his ”bad brother-in-law” to Lingbo Academy.

He was the youngest student in the class, sitting alone in the front row.

But when he entered the classroom, he found another child sitting next to him.

The child looked even younger than him.

She was wearing the Lingbo Academy prodigy class uniform and had a cute little ponytail.

The soulless Little Jing Kong was startled, his eyes widening.

After attending school for so long, it was the first time he had seen a student younger than him!

She was rosy in complexion and chubby, looking like someone who could be easily bullied.

He really wanted to grab her little ponytail!

”Who are you?” Little Jing Kong asked.

”Um, I’m, I’m...” She fidgeted with her fingers and said in a soft, childish voice, ”I’m Little Xue.”

Little Jing Kong said, ”Little Xue? That’s a girl’s name.”

The Little County Princess said, ”I-I am a girl.”

The Little County Princess, used to interacting with adults, had extensive experience dealing with them, but she had hardly played with children her age. Thus, she felt a bit nervous and at a loss at this moment.

Thanks to Gu Jiao’s example, Little Jing Kong was very accepting of the idea of a girl dressing as a boy to attend classes. He boldly introduced himself, ”My name is Jing Kong. Is this your first day of school?”

The Little County Princess shook her head and answered in her soft, baby-like voice, ”No, the teacher at home wasn’t good, so my uncle sent me here to study.”

Little Jing Kong placed his book bag on the desk and sat down beside her, saying, ”Your uncle has good taste.”

”He’s alright.” The Little County Princess replied, ”But the teachers he hired for me at home weren’t very good. I couldn’t understand a thing they taught. Right, my uncle will come to pick me up later.”

Little Jing Kong responded, ”My brother-in... my sister will come to pick me up later.”

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…
