“Is he angry at me?” Xiao Heng asked Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao said, “I think he is angry at Chang Jing.”

“But why?” Xiao Heng was confused. He had just come back and did not know the details.

Gu Jiao pointed toward the courtyard, where piles upon piles of heavy gifts were stacked. “Those. Your little sister’s betrothal gifts.”

Xiao Heng: “???”

Chang Jing had meant it as a joke, but Chang Kun had taken it seriously. Not only did he allow Chang Jing to return to the State of Zhao, he even sent Uncle Li, the one who had watched Chang Jing grow up since childhood, to accompany him with lavish betrothal gifts, to show their sincerity.

This truly was a colossal misunderstanding.

……

The beating and the scolding had already been given. Next came the interrogation of serious matters.

The four of them sat down in the study.

Chang Jing seated himself beside Gu Jiao, using her as a shield to block Xiao Ji’s murderous glares.

Xiao Ji still had not cooled down and could hardly bring himself to speak with him.

It was Xiao Heng who opened the conversation.

He asked, “Chang Jing, on your way back, did you happen to run into General Xuanyuan and Liao Chen?”

Chang Jing frowned. “Why would I have run into them?”

Xiao Heng explained, “They went to look for the Sword Lodge. They took the water route and departed last month. You just happened to come from that direction.”

The Sword Lodge’s stronghold was also located on an island, not far from Hidden Night Island.

Chang Jing shook his head. “I came by land. I didn’t encounter them.”

Because they were carrying a large amount of valuable betrothal gifts, they feared the boxes would be ruined by dampness if they took the water route, so they chose to travel along the official road instead.

Chang Jing pondered for a moment and said, “Were they going to the Sword Lodge to avenge the Shadow Division of those years past? If that’s the case, they may well have made the trip in vain.”

“What do you mean?” Xiao Heng asked.

Chang Jing replied, “The Sword Lodge has already been destroyed.”

Xiao Ji lifted his eyes and cast him an impatient glance. “And who told you that?”

Chang Jing said solemnly, “No one told me. I saw it with my own eyes. Early this spring, my father took me to annihilate the Sword Lodge, the real Sword Lodge.”

The Sword Lodge had thought it concealed itself well, but in truth Hidden Night Island had long known its exact location. However, since Chang Kun was not an ambitious man, as long as the Sword Lodge did not provoke him, he would not bother provoking them either.

Xiao Ji frowned. “Then why did your father suddenly decide to destroy the Sword Lodge?”

Chang Jing said in grievance, “Was it not because of you? My father thought you had died on the Icefield. To ease my heart a little, he agreed to wipe out your enemies, the Sword Lodge.”

Strictly speaking, the Sword Lodge was not precisely an enemy of Marquis Xuanping, but since the Sword Lodge had repeatedly struck at the Xuanyuan Family as well as Shangguan Qing and Gu Jiao, Marquis Xuanping had indeed wanted nothing more than to see them eradicated.

“Go on.” Xiao Ji said.

Chang Jing continued, “When our people from Hidden Night Sect landed on the Sword Lodge’s island, we discovered corpses scattered everywhere, not a single survivor. Someone had gotten there before us and destroyed the Sword Lodge completely. The weather was not hot, so the bodies had not decayed too severely. According to Uncle Li’s estimation, they had been killed about three days earlier.”

Gu Jiao let out a low sound. “What sort of person is so formidable?”

The Sword Lodge was arrogant and domineering, and it was not surprising for them to make enemies. But what kind of enemy could wipe out the entire Sword Lodge?

Chang Jing said, “All the wounds on those bodies were identical. My father and Uncle Li both believed they all died under the sword of a single man.”

Gu Jiao’s eyes widened. “You mean… a single person wiped out the entire Sword Lodge?”

Xiao Ji and Xiao Heng fell silent.

At the same time, the same name flashed across the father and son’s minds.

Xiao Heng’s gaze deepened as he spoke, “Long Yi.”

Gu Jiao nodded. “That’s right. It must be Long Yi. Long Yi is the one who went to Sword Lodge, and aside from him, I really can’t think of anyone else who would possess such strength.”

“Cough, cough!”

Xiao Ji coughed heavily twice.

The three of them turned to look at him in unison.

Xiao Heng was speechless. Father, at a time like this, can’t we stop fooling around?

Gu Jiao stroked her delicate little chin and said, “You and Long Yi went to Sword Lodge Island after spring began, whereas Xuanyuan Qi and the young master of Sword Lodge only left last month with the Sect Leader’s sword. That being the case, there must be another way to set foot on Sword Lodge Island.”

Chang Jing confirmed her suspicion. “Yes, the entrance to Sword Lodge Island is filled with layers of mechanisms, but we know of a secret passage. What I don’t know is how Long Yi got up there. Did he also use that secret passage?”

Xiao Ji raised his brows. “We can’t even be certain that it was Long Yi.”

Although he said that aloud, in his heart he was well aware that if Sword Lodge really had been annihilated by a single person, that person could only have been Long Yi.

Gu Jiao furrowed her brows in puzzlement. “But why would Long Yi want to destroy Sword Lodge? He was one of Sword Lodge’s own disciples. Did he have some irreconcilable hatred toward them?”

Xiao Heng paused, then speculated, “Perhaps, since he failed to carry out the mission Sword Lodge gave him back then, the Sword Lodge wanted to wash hands by striking at him first.”

Gu Jiao pondered this and nodded. “That makes sense. But I still don’t understand why Long Yi abandoned his mission in the first place. He suddenly stopped trying to kill Xuanyuan Qi. How very strange.”

Xiao Heng let out a sigh. “That’s something we can only know once Long Yi returns. I just hope he has regained all of his memories by now.”

“Mm.” Gu Jiao responded.

Xiao Heng took Gu Jiao’s hand, a weight lifted from his heart. “No matter what, since Sword Lodge has already been destroyed, your crisis has been lifted.”

“What crisis?” Chang Jing was completely baffled. Looking at Gu Jiao, he asked, “Was someone from Sword Lodge trying to kill you?”

It was a long story. Gu Jiao thought for a moment before saying, “Something like that.”

Gu Jiao was the commander of the Xuanyuan Family’s Black Wind Cavalry, and she had clashed with Sword Lodge at the borderlands before. It was not surprising that people from Sword Lodge wanted her dead.

Thinking of this, Chang Jing found nothing suspicious and said, “Then you don’t need to worry anymore. Ah, wait, you did say there was still one young master of Sword Lodge alive. Well, it doesn’t matter. He was poisoned by the island’s gu poison. When he goes back, he’ll find that the gu master who could detoxify him is dead. Even if he survives, all his martial arts will be ruined.”

Gu Jiao asked, “I forgot to ask earlier. He was the young master, so how did he end up poisoned?”

Xiao Heng analyzed, “My guess is that it was an internal power struggle. The Island Lord’s wife didn’t like him, since he was an illegitimate child. She wanted her own nephew to become the young master instead, so she plotted against him and lured him off the island. But looking at it now, it was a blessing in disguise; he escaped dying under Long Yi’s sword.”

Chang Jing nodded. “Right, the Island Lord and his wife are both dead, and that so-called nephew is dead as well.”

It seemed that everything in the dream had truly changed because of Long Yi.

What an angel Long Yi is…

If he wanted to break pens with her again, she definitely wouldn’t refuse this time.

Gu Jiao looked at Xiao Heng. “Spring has long passed. Where has Long Yi gone? Will he ever come back?”

Xiao Heng shook his head. “I don’t know.”

When Shi Tian reclaimed his identity and memories, no one could be sure what kind of life he would choose in the future.

What had those years of being Long Yi meant to him? Were they treasured memories worth holding onto, or a shameful past he wanted desperately to erase?

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, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

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

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
