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

There could not be two Emperors in a nation.

Likewise, there could only be one Black Wind King.

The same applied to the commander.

This was their shared battle, and there was no path of retreat!

Gu Jiao repeatedly shattered Mu Qingchenʼs understanding of the world, as though opening his eyes to an entirely new life.

The world had no shortage of brave individuals, but never before had there been someone like Xiao Liulang—someone so fearless that he dared to challenge the heavens, defy fate, and fight against every impossibility the world could throw at him.

Not once did he consider escape.

Every time, he chose to face the challenges head-on, no matter how insurmountable they seemed.

Even if it meant being shattered to pieces, he would not hesitate.

As Mu Qingchen gazed at the youth beside him, his chest swelled with an emotion he hadn’t felt in a long time.

It was as if he had been yanked back to the reckless, impassioned days of his youth, and his blood surged, boiling with a fervor he thought long gone.

Everything around them remained unchanged.

Yet, as Mu Qingchen turned his eyes back to the fiercely competitive battlefield, it suddenly seemed as if everything was entirely different.

The moment Gu Jiao’s gaze clashed with Fifth Master Han’s, it was clear that the confrontation ended with Fifth Master Han being announced as having advanced.

Gu Jiao could stay there until nightfall. If Fifth Master Han had the ability, he could continue occupying the high platform and prevent others from competing.

The youth looked at him with reckless arrogance. Fifth Master Han dismissively turned his gaze away, mounted his new Black Wind King, and leapt down from the platform.

At the same time, someone from the Su Family came to call for Mu Qingchen.

Mu Qingchen and Gu Jiao parted ways.

Mu Qingchen had some matters to attend to and headed to another part of the military camp, while Gu Jiao leisurely rode the Black Wind King, making her way out.

Wherever she passed, the other horses scattered, none daring to approach.

However, as he passed the training field for the cavalry, Gu Jiao was blocked by several people.

They, too, were mounted on their own horses.

Gu Jiaoʼs gaze swept over them.

——Old Master Yang with his goat-like beard, Master Dong with his smooth, beardless face, and another three younger individuals whom she had only seen in portraits. They were the children of the Fang, Du, and Chen families.

“It was you who killed my father!”

A hot-tempered young man glared coldly at Gu Jiao, his anger bubbling just beneath the surface, ready to explode at any moment!

Gu Jiao rubbed her chin thoughtfully, recognizing him as a youngster from the Fang Family.

The Fang Family ranked fourth among the major noble families, and the other party was commonly referred to as Fourth Young Master Fang.

He looked quite similar to Old Third Fang, with the same fiery temper, and even the same foolishness when it came to being manipulated by others.

“Did they tell you that?” Gu Jiao asked, pointing at Master Dong and Old Master Yang.

These two old foxes were clearly not to be trusted.

Back in the forest, one had only feigned attacks, while the other had waited until his comrade was on the verge of collapse before stepping in.

Fourth Young Master Fang gritted his teeth, “Don’t concern yourself with who told me! Just answer me—was it you who killed my father?”

“No.” Gu Jiao replied without hesitation, then pointed at Master Dong and Old Master Yang. “It was these two who killed him.”

Master Dong and Old Master Yang were taken aback.

Could there truly be such a shameless person in the world? This kid’s ability to twist the truth was simply unparalleled!

Master Dong roared with anger, “Don’t slander me! It was clearly you who killed him! Lord Chen and Lord Du were present at the time as well. Nephew Fang, if you don’t believe me, go ask them yourself!”

Gu Jiao spread her hands, “I was merely acting in self-defense. But the ones who truly caused his death were you two. One of you kept inciting him to attack, yet neither of you offered him any help. I was his enemy; it was natural for us to fight. But you two were his friends, and yet one hid without intervening, while the other only threw out feints. Didn’t you simply want to use my hand to get rid of Old Third Fang?”

Master Dong and Old Master Yang were both choked with anger, “You!”

Fourth Young Master Fang’s expression shifted.

He tightened his grip on the reins as he turned to the two family heads beside him. Through gritted teeth, he forced out a few words, ”Is that how it is, Uncle Dong, Uncle Yang?”

Of course not!

Who did your father think he was, for us to bother scheming against him?

We didn’t intervene because we wanted your father to exhaust this kid’s fighting strength first!

What kind of nonsense is this?

Gu Jiao watched their infighting, perfectly composed, before casually saying, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way.”

Old Master Yang’s fists clenched, cracking with anger. ”You little brat!”

Fourth Young Master Fang’s voice turned cold as he said, ”Uncle Yang, I think we should clear this matter up.”

Old Master Yang and Master Dong were livid.

They had come to incite Little Fourth Fang to deal with Xiao Liulang, but how did it turn to Little Fourth Fang being manipulated by Xiao Liulang instead?

He really was a fool, just like his father!

At that moment, Young Master Chen rode forward and blocked Gu Jiao’s path, ”Did we say you could leave? You still have accounts to settle with the Chen and Du familie—!”

Before he could finish his sentence, the Black Wind King reared up and stomped fiercely toward their horses!

The two horses, terrified, went into a frenzy, causing both Young Master Chen and Young Master Du to fall from their saddles. The two managed to use their qinggong to steady themselves, but their horses had already fled out of sight.

The Black Wind King took a step forward, and the two men quickly stepped aside.

Gu Jiao looked down at them from her elevated position, giving them a glance, ”Much appreciated.”

With that, she rode off confidently, leaving behind a trail of chaos and five utterly flustered people.

……

After leaving the military camp, Gu Jiao noticed that Ye Qing was nowhere to be seen.

Huh?

Where did he go?

“Over here!”

From a carriage not far away, someone waved at her.

”Second Master Jing?” Gu Jiao tilted her head in confusion as she rode over, ”What are you doing here?”

It didn’t seem like the Duke Estate was participating in this selection.

Second Master Jing explained, “ came to pick you up! Were you looking for Ye Qing? I told him to head back first. I’ll take you back to the Imperial Advisor’s Hall later.”

Gu Jiao responded, ”There’s no need for you to take me. I can go back on my own. But why did you come to pick me up?”

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…
