Qian Shuhua carried her brother's saber as she walked in the heat of noon. She returned empty handed two hours later. Her eyes had swelled into the size of a goldfish. Without a doubt, she had gone to fight Lin Mei'er. Unfortunately, she was full of anger but lacked actual kung fu and ended up being punched silly. Luckily for her, her opponents had not used their full force, on account that she was the eldest daughter of the Qian family. There was a tavern on Vermilion Bird Street that was owned by the Qian family known as 'People Come Drunk'. On the best spot, a window seat on the second floor, sat Qian Shuhua, her brother and Ye Que. They had been sitting there from noon to dusk. They did not budge from their seats throughout the entire afternoon. Ye Que sat motionless on his stool, and Qian Shuxiao looked worried and wallowed in frustration. His sister, who sat opposite him, seemed to only have ey

The moon was already hanging high up in the sky when Qian Shuhua woke up. Only Ye Que remained on the table opposite her. Qian Shuhua shook her head and felt a splitting headache coming. She took a long while to gather herself before finally asking, "Where's my brother?" Ye Que opened his eyes to look at her and replied, "He went out to do some errands. He was afraid of waking you up and thus he didn't send you back. He told me to wait here for you." "Rascal. How dare he leave his sister behind. Is he not afraid that I'll be taken advantage of?" Qian Shuhua said as she re-arranged her clothing and glared at Ye Que. "Stop looking, no one touched you. Doesn't this tavern belong to your house?" Ye Que said, rolling his eyes. "It's good that you know that," Qian Shuhua replied before grunting. She got up and wanted to walk, but began to stagger after only

Both Qian Shuxiao and Qian Shuhua did not behave like a respectable master or mistress in Qian Manor. One was an infamous rich playboy, while the other was a lady well-known for causing trouble and kicking up a big fuss. Now, they were considering training with Ye Que. Throughout the entire night, Qian Manor was filled with noise and commotion. The brouhaha finally stopped when dawn came. The lush garden that Ye Que resided in had undergone a complete makeover. The garden was gone, and the red pavilion was completely removed. Even the fish pond in front of Ye Que's room had been filled up overnight. Taking their places were three ponds of equal height. They were arranged in a triangular formation, and in its middle was a huge cauldron about the height of two people. Three bronze pipes led out of it into the ponds. The first batch of medicinal herbs, in the shopping list which Ye Que gav

"In times of trouble." "The daring will profit." "This may not be a bad thing." Ye Que said as he drank a sip of apricot wine, before turning toward Qian Shuxiao. "Don't look at me like that. Do you think that cultivation only applies to meditate deep in the mountains?" "Wrong!" "You're hugely mistaken!" "The real Cultivation World is filled with darkness and filth. Every place in it is filled with lies and violence. Let me tell you, nearly all of the largest sects were created with sword and dagger." "Both of you know very well how many herbs we've used up in the past month just to get you into the Pre-celestial Realm. Do you think that cultivation alone will bring you all the herbs we need? Breaking into the Post-celestial and Psychic Realms will take more than herbs. If you want to achieve that quickly and bec

Chunyu's palace was located on the Taifeng Avenue of Luoyang city. It was also the house of the second prince in the dynasty. He Fei, the Right Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, just came on a visit by himself at daybreak. The second prince Li Chunyu was sitting at the owner's position of the main hall with a sulky face. How could he be not sulky when three full boxes of spirit stones disappeared overnight? He felt heartache though he was a prince. As arranged, the spirit stones should be delivered at Chunyu's palace before 21 o'clock yesterday. However, there was no spirit stone being delivered. If they had been in trouble, someone should come back to send a message, but there was not. "Your Highness. He Fei, the Right Vice Minister of Court of Judicial Review, is here asking for admission." The butler said cautiously, arching his back. "Let him in." Li Chunyu adjusted his emotion
