"Look at the dishes in this display cabinet. The gold trim is quite beautiful, isn't it? They must be very expensive."
"I saw some dishes just like these in another place earlier. They're so plain. Want to go count how many identical ones are here? It'll be quick if we use the wind ability."
"Sounds fun!"
"Why are there so many paintings of people here? I'd be too scared to come in at night, fearing making eye contact."

Chapter 346 Borrowing the Cannon
Xu Zhiqing was momentarily stunned. Lin San, who was usually all smiles and never serious, looked today as wilted as an eggplant hit by frost. Could he really be injured?
Qiaoqiao's face turned red as she stole a glance at Madam Xiao and Xu Zhiqing. She gently opened her heart and embraced Lin Wanrong, her adorable little head resting against her big brother's chin, and said softly, "Big brother, are you scared? If we have to, we c...

Chapter 345 The Greatest Mistake
With a booming sound, Lord Lin felt as if his head was no longer clear. ‘Granting the fairy to me? This must be a joke.’ Fairy Ning was elegant and pure, like a celestial being exiled to the mortal world. Even glancing at her was a sin. How could the Emperor grant her to him?
He looked towards Ning Yuxi, and saw the fairy’s face calm and peaceful. Her exceptionally beautiful cheeks adorned with a faint smile, she looked utter...

Qiaoqiao was astonished by his words and quickly asked, "Big brother, where is the Emperor?"
As she spoke, a man appeared at the door, his face rosy but with an unusually pale hue. His temples were tinged with the frost of autumn, and he wore a yellow satin robe, walking with the grace of a dragon and the stride of a tiger, exuding majesty. Behind him followed the Eunuch Gao and a group of plain-clothed guards and attendants, tightly...

"Isn't it cold? It's quite chilly."
"I'm fine."
"Did you rest well last night? There were many things to check again before leaving, and I regret not having had the chance to look them over. Ah, I also received a report that the pharmacist Enon has arrived. Did you meet him?"
"Yes, I met him....

Without restraint, Enon finally withdrew his piercing gaze only after thoroughly examining Yuder's hand, where the black stains hadn't completely disappeared. Seizing the opportunity, Yuder filled Enon in on his condition as Kishiar and Lusan had speculated. Enon only heaved a cold sigh in response to the explanation that it was recovery to this point after the magic to remove the traces of amplification succeeded.

When Kanna raised her voice in surprise, Kishiar revealed himself from the darkness, smiling.
"What were you talking about?"
After Kishiar appeared, Lorna seemed even more intimidated than when she had faced Kanna. Having just heard from Kanna about the events that had just transpired, Kishiar glanced down at Pethuamet, who was still scratching at the iron bars, and then turned his eyes toward Lorna.

The next morning, Lin Wanrong rose early and took Qiaoqiao out with him. As soon as they reached the door, they bumped into the Eldest Miss, Xiao Yuruo. Her pretty cheeks looked slightly pale, and her eyes were tinged with red, as if she hadn't slept well the night before.
"Good morning, Miss!" Lin Wanrong said, holding Qiaoqiao's little hand and smiling cheerfully. He had shown off his prowess the previous night, and this morning he was ...

"A letter? Who sent this letter?" Lin Wanrong asked in puzzlement, gently tearing open the envelope. A faint, delicate fragrance filled his nostrils, and inside the envelope lay a pair of red handkerchiefs and a flawless white sheet of paper.
He unfolded the paper, and several lines of graceful, small characters came into view: "A thread and a line grow white hair; half-shy, half-resentful washes the years away. Last...

The opposition party that Kanna had mentioned must have referred to the moderate faction, which included the brothers Gayle and Doyle. Gayle and Doyle were deeply cautious of Nahan expanding his power within the Star of Nagran and candidly displayed their disapproval. As Yuder thought about the information he had obtained about them so far, Kanna's words continued to flow.
"So, we've assumed that the hardliners centered around Nahan were at odds with t...

The moment Yuder saw Kishiar's clothes dyed red and the scattered blood on the ground, he felt a dizzying sensation for the first time.
"Commander, whose blood is that...?"
"Ah. This isn't my blood."

"I thought I almost had him... but he managed to escape."
Hearing that, Yuder finally took a deep breath and the chill in his stomach somewhat subsided. Had even ...

Without comparing the last question, we already know who the winner is."

Emun and Lusan were full of tension as what was expected to be a straightforward encounter with Knights suddenly took a severe turn.

This was evident in Lusan, who constantly muttered prayers under his breath, and Emun, who tightly gripped the dagger at his waist, refusing to let go.

All Yuder could do while lying still was gaze at the face before him. Through the blurry vision, he found himself naturally reminiscing about a particular time in the past as he admired the handsome features reflected in his sight.

If this were to be exposed, Master Lin would be in trouble, and Goryeo would not benefit either.
