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

In a private room of a teahouse, three scholars were enjoying tea and composing poems.

One of them suddenly put down his writing brush and said with a peculiar expression, "Did you guys hear a strange noise?"

His companion across from him replied, "No."

The companion beside him listened carefully and frowned, "It seems like I did."

The first scholar quickly said, "Right, you heard it too?"

The scholar who initially said he didn't hear anything widened his eyes, "I… I heard it too!"

Soon, not only did the three of them hear it, but they felt it completely.

The three were sitting on cus.h.i.+ons on the floor, which was shaking intermittently, causing the four treasures of the study on the table to wobble.

"Is someone hammering the floor?"

"Or is it an earthquake?"

With a loud "duang" sound, the inkstones on the table fell to the ground!

The three scholars were so frightened that they huddled together!

This punch is for Mu Chuan's arm!

This punch is for Mu Qingchen's internal injury.

And this punch is for Zhao Wei and Yuan Xiao's hand injuries.

Han s.h.i.+zi's consciousness was actually clear, which speaks to his extremely strong const.i.tution and martial arts skills. If not for using some tricks, it would have been impossible to take him down.

Gu Jiao really wanted to kill him with a single strike, but before she could draw her blade, the experts from the Han Family arrived.

Gu Jiao sensed the presence of death warriors, not just one, and all stronger than Tian Lang.

Hmm, she couldn’t win this fight.

A wise person knew when to retreat and bide their time.

Gu Jiao decisively packed up her sack and swiftly ran away!

......

Xiao Heng came out of the Yuebin Tower.

His carriage was parked in an alley diagonally across from it.

The coachman was a servant he had bought after arriving in Shengdu, loyal and trustworthy.

As soon as he got into the carriage, Gu Jiao quickly slipped in, breathing heavily in small gasps, "Whew~"

It was clear how fast she had been running.

"What happened?" Xiao Heng asked, "Did something go wrong? Or were you discovered?"

Gu Jiao thought for a moment and shook her head, "No, I wasn't discovered."

"Did the Han Family’s death warriors show up?" Xiao Heng speculated.

Gu Jiao counted on her fingers and said seriously, “It doesn’t matter if they’re death warriors or not. The main issue is that the sacks aren’t enough.”

Xiao Heng: "..."

"I'll take you to the southern gate." Xiao Heng offered.

“No need, I’ll go myself,” Gu Jiao said. She wasn’t sure if Han s.h.i.+zi might suspect her, and she didn’t want to implicate Xiao Heng or expose him.

Xiao Heng understood her concerns and said, “Don’t worry, they won’t suspect you.”

Even though Gu Jiao had a conflict with Han Che, Han s.h.i.+zi would never guess that Gu Jiao was behind today's events.

Gu Jiao was bold, but Han s.h.i.+zi would never imagine she could be so daring.

Gu Jiao’s skills were impressive, but Han s.h.i.+zi would never think they were this good.

Moreover, there were two very important points: the black gunpowder b.a.l.l.s and her ident.i.ty as someone from a lower state.

The black gunpowder b.a.l.l.s were something only the imperial family of the State of Yan and top aristocratic families possessed. In everyone's understanding, it couldn't possibly be in the hands of someone from a lower state.

Her ident.i.ty as a person from the lower state was a double-edged sword. While it brought many unfair disadvantages, it also served as a natural cover.

"How is Ming Junw.a.n.g doing?" Gu Jiao asked.

"He's drunk, resting at the restaurant." Xiao Heng replied.

Ming Junw.a.n.g had hoped to take advantage of the beauty, but Xiao Heng made sure he was incapacitated with a cup of strong wine.

He got drunk on his own, so the embroidered-uniform guards couldn’t blame Xiao Heng for it.

Xiao Heng casually left behind a doodle made by Little Jing Kong and left gracefully.

Gu Jiao removed the mask from her face and changed out of her black clothes, switching back to her Tianqiong Academy uniform.

Xiao Heng, ever the gentleman, turned his face away and looked elsewhere.

After changing, Gu Jiao stared at him for a couple of seconds and said, “Why is your face red again? I’m just changing my outer garment.”

Xiao Heng cleared his throat and said seriously, “It’s hot.”

......

Xiao Heng escorted Gu Jiao to a spot near the southern inner city gate.

Gu Jiao did not have an inner city tally, and Xiao Heng had planned to give her his, but he unexpectedly saw the Tianqiong Academy people waiting for her.

They were all waiting for her.

It seemed she had made a few genuine friends at the academy.

Xiao Heng patted her on the head and said, “Go on.”

“Mm.”

Gu Jiao got off the carriage, mounted her horse, and quickly rode to a tea stall near the city gate where Dean Cen and others were waiting.

Seeing Gu Jiao arrive, Dean Cen felt a wave of relief.

Earlier, he had been anxiously twitching, fearing that the young troublemaker might have gotten into more trouble.

It wasn’t unreasonable for him to worry. Tianqiong Academy had been around for many years, and she was the only student to have received two demerits within ten days of starting school.

“Did you finish your business?” Dean Cen didn’t ask what Gu Jiao had been doing, as students were ent.i.tled to their privacy as long as they didn’t break the law.

Gu Jiao, who had just returned from breaking the law, responded calmly, “Yes, it’s done.”

“Let’s have something to eat before we head back.” Dean Cen said. He had originally planned to eat at the academy, where the cafeteria was cheaper and it would save on expenses.

However, everyone seemed quite hungry, so they decided to eat first.

The group found a nearby noodle shop and had their meal there.

No one came to seal the city gates during this time, indicating that the Han Family hadn’t suspected her.

Gu Jiao happily mounted her horse.

Yuan Xiao glanced at her and said, “Liulang, you look particularly refreshed. Did you just... you know?”

Gu Jiao looked puzzled, “You know, what?”

Yuan Xiao looked around then lowered his voice, “You know, that.”

“That?” Gu Jiao still didn’t get it.

Zhao Wei said straightforwardly, “Visiting a brothel and finding a girl! Men look like you do right now after they’ve had their fun!”

Gu Jiao thought for a moment and remarked, “Hmm, it was fun indeed.”

Yuan Xiao had only asked casually, but he was taken aback when Gu Jiao admitted it.

He was really stunned.

So you really did visit a brothel? How could you do that without bringing us along? It’s so unbrotherly! Are we still good friends or not?

Yuan Xiao gritted his teeth and whispered, “Next time, take me with you!”

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 s.h.i.+ 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 succ.u.mb to darkness amidst hards.h.i.+p and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When s.h.i.+ Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the s.h.i.+ 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 s.h.i.+ 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?"

s.h.i.+ 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?"

s.h.i.+ 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—”

s.h.i.+ Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
