The Emperor’s head wasn’t completely bald like a monk’s; there were still a few hairs left.

Three strands. No more than that.

The Emperor flew into a rage!

Thinking back on the series of events from last night, he couldn’t believe Shangguan Yan hadn’t intentionally led him out.

The Han Family deserved to die, and Shangguan Yan, that wretched troublemaker, couldn't be spared either!

The Emperor had someone carry away the Little County Princess and drew the treasured sword from the shelf, his face livid with rage, "Where is Shangguan Yan? I want her dead!"

Zhang Dequan awkwardly replied, "Shangguan Yan… hasn’t returned since leaving the imperial palace…"

Could she return?

With the way things had turned out and the Emperor still fuming, how could she not stay out of sight?

Actually, the Crown Princess had always been a handful as a child, but back then, all the sons of the Xuanyuan Family were still alive. She didn’t just cause trouble for the Emperor alone; everyone shared the burden of her mischief, so it seemed like she wasn’t as naughty.

Of course, this time it wasn’t just about being mischievous. The former Crown Princess had truly stepped on the lion’s tail.

The Emperor's fury wasn’t going to subside anytime soon. Now it depended on whether the former Crown Princess could avoid being caught.

The Emperor trembled with anger as he shouted, "Find her for Zhen! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, bring her to Zhen!"

……

Gu Jiao hadn’t attended school for a few days.

This morning, Gu Jiao removed the st.i.tches from Gu Yan’s wound. Her st.i.tching was impeccable, and after removing the st.i.tches, only a faint, almost invisible scar remained.

To prevent the formation of keloids, Gu Jiao took out the most expensive scar cream from her little medicine chest.

Strangely enough, such advanced scar ointments didn’t even exist before.

"In five more days, you can start applying it." Gu Jiao handed the scar cream to Gu Yan, "If you feel any discomfort in the meantime, let me know immediately, and don’t scratch the wound."

"Got it." Gu Yan nodded. "You’d better hurry to school. You’ll be late."

"Alright." Gu Jiao called Gu Xiaoshun, and the two of them went to Tianqiong Academy together.

Gu Yan happily went to the backyard to groom the Black Wind King.

Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun went their separate ways to Mingxin Hall and Mingyue Hall.

The people at Mingxin Hall all knew that Gu Jiao had taken leave to accompany Gu Yan for surgery at the Imperial Advisor's Hall. They didn’t know that Gu Jiao was the one who performed the surgery, however, a.s.suming it was the Imperial Advisor who treated Gu Yan. Because of this, they all thought Gu Yan was quite lucky.

Mu Qingchen didn’t come again today.

Gu Jiao sat alone in the back row.

Everyone gathered around her.

“How did the surgery go? Was it successful?” Zhou Tong in the front row asked.

“Yeah, Liulang, how did Gu Yan’s surgery go?” Zhong Ding also asked anxiously.

Although Gu Yan had never attended cla.s.s, he had been to the polo field, and quite a few people had seen him.

Since he was Xiao Liulang’s friend, everyone was concerned about his condition.

“It was very successful.” Gu Jiao nodded.

Everyone exchanged smiles, sincerely happy for Gu Yan.

Zhou Tong then asked, "So, he should be able to come to cla.s.s soon, right?"

"Yes." Gu Jiao nodded, "If things go well, by the end of the month, or if it's slower, by next month."

“Hey, Liulang.” Zhong Ding suddenly lowered his voice, glanced at the door, and whispered, "After school… let's go and 'hmm-hmm!"

“What ‘'hmm-hmm’?” Gu Jiao didn’t understand.

It was clear the students had already discussed this beforehand, and everyone was in agreement, with Zhong Ding acting as the spokesperson.

Everyone was being quite reserved, and even Zhou Tong's ears turned red.

Gu Jiao thought for a moment then uttered, "Go to a brothel?"

Everyone choked!

Zhong Ding quickly waved his hands, "No, no! That’s not it… it’s not a brothel… We’re scholars… How could we easily visit such places? That’s something we do after pa.s.sing the imperial exams."

Oh, so it’s not that they won’t go, but that it wasn’t the right time yet.

"I already told you guys, we shouldn’t go!" Zhou Tong was backing out.

When others advance, I retreat. When others retreat, I advance—such was human nature.

Zhong Ding cleared his throat, mustered his courage, and said seriously, "We’ve already agreed, so how can we not go? Besides, it’s not a brothel. We’re not going to indulge in pleasures; we're simply going to listen to a play. What’s wrong with that?"

Some people rubbed their noses, others scratched their ears, feeling guilty yet excited as they looked at Gu Jiao.

If it were really just to watch a play, Gu Jiao might as well twist Mu Chuan’s head off.

Zhong Ding chuckled awkwardly, "You know Tianxiang Pavilion, right? They’ve recently staged a new play, and it’s quite popular. We thought we’d invite you to join us for a show."

Oh, Tianxiang Pavilion.

Zhou Tong quickly said, "You guys, don’t lead Liulang astray."

Gu Jiao replied, "Alright, let’s go, but you all are paying."

The two of them spoke in unison, and Zhou Tong was stunned.

Zhong Ding grinned, "No problem, no problem! We’ll treat you! It’s settled then, no one leaves after school. We’ll all go to watch a play!"

……

Business at Tianxiang Pavilion was booming, and its reputation was growing. Every day, not only were there guests at night, but the place was also packed during the day.

Xu Fengxian was smiling so broadly her eyes could barely be seen. Sitting in a private room on the second floor, she was snacking on sunflower seeds, listening to the lively noise downstairs, and thinking to herself, I, Xu Fengxian, have finally made it!

Just as Xu Fengxian was grinning from ear to ear, a staggering female figure appeared at the entrance of Tianxiang Pavilion.

She hadn’t come to Tianxiang Pavilion on purpose, just happened to pa.s.s by.

But walking under the scorching sun had drained her strength little by little, and in the end, her vision went black, and she collapsed forward.

"Ah——"

The young women at the entrance, who were trying to attract customers, were shocked.

“Madam! Madam! Something’s wrong! A commoner woman has fainted at the door!”

Hearing the servant girl’s shout, Xu Fengxian put down the sunflower seeds in her hand, lifted her luxurious gown, and went downstairs.

When she reached the entrance, the young women and servant girls had already surrounded the woman so tightly that not a drop of water could get through.

"Move aside! Make way!"

Xu Fengxian pushed through the crowd and crouched down beside the woman.

The young women started whispering among themselves.

“Is she dead?”

“Oh no, her clothes are so tattered. Was she beaten to death?”

“What should we do? If she died at our doorstep, will it affect our business?”

Xu Fengxian shouted angrily, "Everyone shut up! Be quiet!"

The crowd instantly fell silent.

At that moment, a soft snoring sound filled the air, "Hoo~ hoo~ hoo~"

The woman lay on the ground, sleeping soundly.

Xu Fengxian: "..."

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…
