Chapter 31 After the Mid-Autumn Festival, an unexpected guest arrived at the prince's residence. The person was found collapsed in front of the main gate of the prince's residence, looking sickly all over, appearing to be on the verge of death and not long for this world. The gatekeeper saw his sallow and emaciated appearance and thought he was someone who had fled to Jiangling to escape famine—however, this year the weather had been favorable throughout the country, so such wretched people should…-

Chapter 32 The Junior Minister of the Court of Judicial Review named Shen Rui had been unconscious for over ten days. Just when everyone thought he was on the verge of death, the Jiangling City Lord's mansion found an elderly gentleman who understood the art of medicine, and there was finally a glimmer of improvement. This old man claimed to know medicine and understand medical principles. In reality, however, he was famous for using folk remedies, and his methods were often rather…

Chapter 33 After Shen Rui awoke, he did not linger long in Jiangling. Following a night of secret discussions with Xingyi, he returned to the capital by carriage the next day and entrusted several letters to informants in the jianghu. No one knew the final destinations of these letters. Only the route of one was reported by the death-sworn shadow guards of the Jiangling City Lord's Mansion: it was sent to the imperial palace, but its destination was not the Yangxin Hall where officials were received,…

Chapter 34 There was nothing more to the past. Roughly speaking, when Little Phoenix took the time to slowly tell stories to the golden-winged bird, he would stop at this night. Low murmuring voices, warm embraces, and the sound of sea winds blowing from the coastal areas of Min, whimpering and beating against the bed—in all the world, only the two of them had warmth here. This little plump bird flapped its short, chubby wings and said with smug satisfaction. "He told me a story about a king, and…

Chapter 35 Little Phoenix gave him three feathers. Xingyi accepted them and pinned them behind his forehead. Little Phoenix looked at this pitch-black little round ball with three elegant, upturned tail feathers on top of its head, and hesitated before speaking, "Well, if you want feathers as decorations, I have a golden-winged bird friend who can get crimson-gold feathers. I could make you a feathered wreath." The little coal ball looked at him solemnly. "Really, you can make wreaths?" Little…

Chapter 36 After seventeen consecutive days of skipping court, Xingyi finally returned to hold court once more. Since this absence had broken his previous record, the immortals had gone through a progression — from the delight of an extended holiday, to aimless idleness, to having nothing to do and actually wanting to go back to work — resulting in a large crowd brimming with enthusiasm. Before Xingyi could even get to official matters, they all began inquiring after his personal wellbeing one…

Chapter 37 After the court session ended, Little Phoenix came sniffling to find Xingyi to lodge a complaint. He carried a silver tray in his beak, hopped onto Xingyi's knee, set the tray down with a clang, and showed him the note tucked underneath. Black ink on white paper, plain as day: "A phoenix who does not eat lianshi fruit is not a good phoenix." "A phoenix who eats persimmons is a bad phoenix." "Little Phoenix is a bad phoenix." Little Phoenix pulled a long face and cried his…

"That can't be right!!!! Lord Luciel would never do such a thing!!" Trembling with rage, Berchel cried out at the top of his voice. He was so worked up it looked as though he might bolt from the room at any moment. But at the sound of Lea's quiet voice, he forced himself to suppress his anger. "Calm down, Berchel. I know Luciel would never do something like that." Watching Lea soothe Berchel, Razen let a strange, unreadable smile play at the corners of his lips — the kind of smile that was quite…-

A magic gate. It was a spatial transportation device made of countless magic formulas and mana stones to transport subjects to a desired destination. The cost of construction was considerable, but operating it required a mage of at least level 6 — and reaching level 6 meant attaining the rank of Archmage, of which there were barely ten on the entire continent. Most of them, true to the free-spirited nature of mages, were wandering, and only a small few who did not wander had settled in countries that…

The serving men stepped aside and said, "All right — since your footsteps are heavy, you'd best not serve in front of Her Majesty anymore." "I — then what am I to do?" the attendant quavered. "Go find the head matron and have her arrange something further away for you," said a serving man. "We need to get back. Go find the matron yourself." The attendant stared in dumb surprise. All those people who had caused a disturbance in front of Her Majesty had disappeared, and she had thought... so…-
