Heavy snow had fallen the day before. The Imperial Garden lay wrapped in silvery white, pure and spotless, yet tinged with a touch of cold desolation. It was no match for summer, when flowers bloomed in riotous abundance, competing in brilliance and splendor. Only when Emperor Yuwen turned a corner and stepped onto the long corridor did he catch sight of a flash of red standing amid the vast expanse of white snow. At once, a few strokes of color were added back into the world. But Gu Jingyuan was…-

Yue Chuyin’s expression darkened. He suddenly realized that he might have gone a little overboard. No sect master would kill a disciple over something as trivial as the cafeteria. Yet now, it seemed that this disciple had already broken through Foundation Establishment. Furthermore, without a Foundation Establishment Pill. According to the information Xu Ke had gathered on this disciple, not long ago he had been stuck around the ninth or tenth layer of Qi Refining. The speed of this breakthrough was…-

Gu Jingyuan ultimately obeyed the imperial decree and ate his breakfast. There had been quite a few people in the bedchamber just now. Aside from Eunuch Hong, who still harbored a trace of sympathy for him, the rest were mostly there to watch the spectacle, coolly observing that “even Lord Gu can stumble”. No one dared to show it openly. But everyone understood one another’s thoughts perfectly well. Even so, amid those appraising gazes, Gu Jingyuan was able to eat as…-

As the saying goes, to win over a man, you must first win over his stomach. Of course, this principle could also be applied to Gui Huan, who loved to eat and was a silly, naïve sweetheart. Just like that, in only a few days, Lin Xi had successfully become Gui Huan’s meal buddy and friend. After a short period of contact, Lin Xi realized that Gui Huan was inexperienced in worldly matters, but his academic studies were actually quite good. He was also a genuinely nice…-

When Gu Jingyuan awoke again, it was still dark outside. Inside the inner chamber of the bedchamber, only two floor lamps were lit. It was a dim, gentle light that did not sting the eyes. But there was still light. Gu Jingyuan sat up in bed. A cascade of black hair spread loose, falling just to his waist. His expression was still a little dazed, as though for a moment he could not tell where he was. After collecting himself, Gu Jingyuan stepped out from behind the folding screen. The…-

Just like that, more than ten days passed. He had already saved up over a hundred high-grade spirit stones, with even more left over. Lin Xi’s storage pouch was no longer shriveled—any casual grab brought out a handful of money. They even set up a back kitchen. Some cooked, some searched for ingredients, some covered up the operation, and the wages were split evenly. In this way, Lin Xi and his “roommates” successfully replaced the canteen, becoming the new generation’s “conscientious…-

“Chickens.” After a pause, one fellow disciple replied. “? Kun?” Lin Xi reflexively blurted out. A few of his sect-mates gave him strange looks: “What’s ‘Kun’?” Lin Xi gave an awkward laugh, “Ah, nothing, nothing. Just a special name for chickens back in my hometown. “Anyway, you said there are lots of chickens, but what do they eat to grow?” What if they were raised on Phoenix-Immortal Golden Stamen or Red Spider Lily? Then it'd be over. “They all eat spirit…-

“Your face doesn't look well. Are you okay?” Yang Lin frowned as he looked at him. “I’m fine.” Gu Jingyuan shook his head again. As if afraid of the cold, he reached for his teacup before continuing, “Let’s talk business. I’ve already handed over the evidence we brought back from Lianghe to His Majesty. Troubling Second Young Master to pass the word to Chancellor Yang when you return.” There had been two sets of evidence concerning the Two Rivers Governor’s embezzlement: one was…-

Gu Jingyuan slept straight until noon. When he learned that Emperor Yuwen hadn't returned to the imperial study after morning court but had gone to another palace hall to discuss affairs with his ministers, he hurriedly got up and dressed. “Why not rest a bit longer, Lord Gu?” Eunuch Hong, the chief eunuch attending Long Yanzhao, had personally waited at his bedside for him to wake. Seeing Gu Jingyuan begin to dress, he quickly ordered servants to bring his clothes and said, “His Majesty was…-
