Chapter 65 The White Dew Falls as the Wind Blows from the West
The leaves of the lotus flowers had begun to fall, and the lushness of summer was fading away. The West Wind blew, and it was quiet all around the city.
It was time for White Dew to fall, and the cicadas remained silent in the night. Warmth faded away slowly, and the birds began to migrate to warmer climates in flocks, from the North to the South.
Overnight, the General's Manor was completely draped with white cloth. Lamps burned throughout the entire night, incense paper and joss sticks were lit, and sounds of crying rang out. Ye Yunhai had arrived in the palace dressed in mourning wear for the morning court session, and the news quickly broke out throughout the entire Luoyang City.
General Ye Zhengru had passed away!
It caused a great ripple across the entire city!
Even though there had been news that the old general was getting on in age and bedridden, he was seen outdoors yesterday. So how could he have passed

The sounds of mourning passed through the windows into Ye Que's ears. He walked to the windows and gazed far away to the head of the Bridge of Long Life, shaped like a stone arch. He caught sight of Ye Yunhai wearing a mourning head dress and clothes of hemp. A huge coffin was following him from behind, and Xiao Huating was standing behind it humming a dirge softly. Further away behind them was an endless procession of mourners. "Has someone from the General's Manor passed away?" Ye Que thought instinctively before an idea struck him. "How many people are worthy enough of causing Ye Yunhai to put on mourning wear, and for Xiao Huating to hum an elegy? Aside from Ye Zhengru, I doubt anyone else has such influence." "Impossible!" Ye Que rejected the idea because he had just seen Ye Zhengru a few days ago. Although the general's body was indeed weak and he was afflicted with illness, Ye Que judged that he would not be in any risk

After moving out of the way and returning to the Divine Sect Seminary, Ye Que shot Qian Shuxiao a look. "You better give me one..." Qian Shuxiao threw a jade pendant at him before he could finish his sentence. Ye Que caught the pendant with ease and looked at it. "Why is this pendant with you?" Ye Que remembered vividly that this jade pendant was something his mother left behind. Several days ago, he had personally delivered it to Ye Zhengru. How did it end up in Qian Shuxiao's hands? "Old General Ye's housekeeper delivered it to me. It's his private housekeeper; you've met him," Qian Shuxiao explained. "The day after your meeting, he secretly came here in the evening to see you. But you were in the midst of your close-door meditation then, so he handed it to me. He also left a message." "What is it?" Ye Que frowned. "Tell Ye this: River Soldiers." Qian Shuxiao counted on his fingers as he spoke. "Fi
Late Night Tales Of The Capital Chapter 68 The Depths of the Tall Mountain
Unorthodox men had a heart of steel. When the sage didn't see the river filled with red autumnal leaves, it was like a traveler's eyes were filled with blood. Ye Que didn't cry. Though his journey was doomed to be perilous, he didn't think that he wouldn't be able to return. He had said everything that he had to say and met everyone that he had to meet last night. Thus, he left this morning without bidding farewell. Out of the things the Qian siblings gave him, he took nothing except for a spice bag. There would be many treasures in the ley lines of sovereignty of the Imperial Mausoleum and an abundance of golden Divine Energy in the Spiritual Sea. He also had his 13 Spring and Autumn Swords in his heart. These were more than enough for him. With his hands clasped behind his back, he left Luoyang City amid the exquisite morning sunshine and the bleakness of the autumn air. The ley lines of sovereignty of the Imperial Mausoleum

The moon fell behind the crevice of the mountains, leaving only a ray of moonlight to emerge quietly in the night. Leaves the color of blazing flames enveloped the maple forest before Ye Que. Following a sweeping autumn wind, the firey-red maple leaves appeared even more coquettish. Coupled with the tall piles of dead leaves on the ground, the world seemed integrated as a whole. He felt as if he had stepped into a fairyland. The bonfire built on a pile of maple wood had long ceased burning, leaving behind star-like sparks and a wisp of smoke. By now, the forest was shrouded by a thin layer of frosty mist. It was as if it was putting on a thin layer of clothing on the maple leaves that covered the entire mountain. The cold wind emerged from the crevices of the canyon. It swept a wide-awake Ye Que, the mist shrouding the forest, as well as the frosted maple forest. The wind carried a fiery-red maple leaf to him.

The ley lines of sovereignty of the Imperial Mausoleum. The waterfall at the Grass-pecking Cliff. Nalan Rongruo stood at the edge of the waterfall, feeling her rage burn in the pit of her stomach. She was so furious that she nearly died of anger. She hadn't believed her Senior Brothers when they told her how shameless those from the Chamber of the Rainy Duel could be. Now, she was witnessing it with her own eyes. "Shameless" was too kind a word to describe them. Nangong Jie, dressed in a snow-white attire, stood 10 meters away from her with a three-feet-long sword in hand. He looked distinguished and proper yet his behavior was beyond disgusting. He was the great Young Chamber Lord of the Chamber of the Rainy Duel. Having entered the Starburst Realm at the age of 18, he was known as the future genius of the Chamber. It was shocking for him to do something as outrageous as stealing someone's prey, amb
Late Night Tales Of The Capital Chapter 71 There's a Young Lady Who Came Here on a Fish
Nangong Jie didn't sense the sword at the back of his head at all. To a Starburst Realm cultivator like him, it was either that the newcomer was an expert manipulator of True Energy who didn't leak any of his energy or that the sword behind him was a high-level weapon. Level 1 was a Taoist object while Level 2 would make it a spiritual object. This sword was at the level of Spirit Sword at the minimum. The gurgling sound of running water rang next to Nangong Jie's ears. He lifted his hands. Sweat was forming on his forehead and he dared not to make any movement. He could feel the skin on the back of his neck tremble from the ice-cold sensation coming from the tip of the sword. Without turning his head, he asked cautiously, "Who are you?" "I'm nobody," Ye Que replied indifferently. "You wield a Spirit Sword and even ambush someone from behind?" Nangong Jie continued, innuendo lacing his words. "That's
Late Night Tales Of The Capital Chapter 72 Conquer Minds Rather Than Destroy Bodies
The blooming of pear blossom flowers spelled the arrival of fine rain. Nangong Jie's sword rain exploded and looked like it was about to envelop everything. Ye Que finally made his move. He shifted his wrist ever so slightly and tapped lightly on the tip of his foot while bending his body. He moved like a burst of wind sticking close to the ground, evading and erasing the sword rain with his Wind-slicing sword style. He slashed at the edge of the curtain of rain. Before the Wind-slicing sword style landed, the Thorny Rain was already unleashed. The tip of the sword pierced the dazzling rain formation right in the middle with incredible precision. There was a real sword lying in the heart of the formation! Following an ear-piercing sound of friction, Ye Que unleashed the third and fourth sword styles: Crystalized Frost and Scattered Mist. The wind picked up and forcefully spiraled around Nangong Jie's
Late Night Tales Of The Capital Chapter 73 Sword Fanatic Who Eats Swords
"Conquer minds or destroy bodies?" The young lady who came here on a fish stared fixedly at Ye Que as she questioned him curiously. Ye Que stared at the plump goldfish in the air that was shaking its wide tail and displaying its four transparent fins. With a sway or two of its body, it landed on the Grass-pecking Cliff. Then, it transformed into a bulging spice bag with a single shake and automatically hung itself on the young lady's waist. After witnessing this strange scene, Ye Que asked indifferently, "Conquering minds or destroying bodies? You can take it whichever you want." "I think it's conquering minds." The young lady placed a finger to her lips. She encircled Ye Que and then looked at the marks left behind on the ground by the battle earlier. "I spotted your Spirit Sword from afar. If I'm not mistaken, it's one of the 13 Mother and Children of Spring and Autumn Swords recorded in the Million Swords Registry." "Judging
