Chapter 136 The Second Rebuke of the Talented Woman (2)
Before Luo Ning could speak, Miss Wanying was the first to jump up and exclaim, "What nonsense are you talking about? This painting is well-done, acknowledged by everyone, even the Governor himself praised it."
Lin Wanrong was puzzled. Could this painting be the work of Miss Wanying? It didn't seem right. The girl was like a fiery pepper, could she possibly have such delicate brushstrokes?
No matter who...

"Well, as you can see, it's still nothing impressive," the old master remarked, "We've set up a defensive formation, barely enough to inspect the situation. It seems we'll need at least another day to establish a proper one. If only my apprentice had created the formation a bit quicker, we could've progressed further by now. Tsk."
"Master, do you wish to kill me? There are only a few people across the continent who can finish a defensive formation fast...

The manifestation of Jimmy's second gender had been a long time coming. There had been signs for days, so it wasn't surprising. Kishiar seemed to share the sentiment, nodding his head as he opened his mouth to speak.
"Were there any members affected prior to the isolation? Any other anomalies?"
"Fortunately, the manifestation began while we were discussing training, so other members were not affected. Given the energy I felt alongside the fever f...

"The increasing number of requests for our Cavalry to participate in events is a good thing. But it seems a bit excessive. Aside from the simple participation requests, there are quite a few requests for maintaining public order, all from important events where foreign diplomats are involved. Moreover, it hasn't even been a year since the formation of the Cavalry, and they want the whole team to attend the largest party of the year, held at the Imperial Pala...

Lin Wanrong was taken aback. ‘What was this old Luo up to? I came to meet him, not his daughter. Even if he wanted to play matchmaker, he shouldn't be so blatant about it. After all, I am a gentleman.’
"So, Miss Luo is also here," Lin Wanrong said with a smile. "Didn't Governor Luo summon me? But why isn't he around?"
Luo Ning nodded and said, "Father just went down to inspect the river embankm...

‘Damn it, why did Xiao Yuruo bring all this up out of the blue, threatening to ruin my relationship with Qiaoqiao? I was wondering how she managed to suddenly become close with Qiaoqiao, but it turns out she had ulterior motives. Was it all because of the little prank I pulled on her? She really holds a grudge.’
Thinking of Xiao Qingxuan, Lin Wanrong felt somewhat responsible. After Qiaoqiao fell ill that day, he hadn't found the time to te...

Early the next morning, before Luo Min's official sedan arrived, Dong Qingshan and Luo Yuan, the two young men, were already waiting. Lin Wanrong received them warmly in the Xiao family's guest room. Lin Wanrong's status in the Xiao family had risen like the sun at midday, and he had a faint sense of being the master of the house, which was quite comfortable.

The remaining members of the Peletta Knights in Yuder's mind were few in number. They were efficient guides, but their skills, with the exception of Nathan Zuckerman, were quite ordinary.
'Yet, they did cook well in the field...'

Despite his words, Enon was not as cruel or indifferent as he pretended to be. Yuder, who had received his help on several occasions, knew this fact better than anyone.
‘The ones I am trying to save are not only Kishiar La Orr. You are also included. And so are the many others who have been lost due to ignorance in the past.’

Enon had glared at the innocent fruit for quite some time before finally extending his hand over the counter. Yuder gently placed a lemon on his palm.
"...Who told you? That I'm crazy about these?"
Enon asked in a significantly softened tone, far from the seemingly lethal resentment he had just expressed. Yuder, recalling his past life where Enon would often munch on raw lemons, opened his mouth. He had found Enon's love for lemons incomprehensib...

Without realizing it, Yuder voiced his question in a small murmur, which caused Kishiar, who had sharp ears, to lift his head.
"Is something amiss?"
Hesitating for a moment, Yuder rose from his seat and handed the letter to Kishiar.
"I believe you should read this immediately."
Kishiar, having quickly read the letter from Yuder, stopped at the final section. Interest welled up in his red eyes.

Why was it that now, of all times, an event deeply submerged in his unconscious mind had surfaced? Yuder pondered for several minutes over this question to which he could find no answer. Recognizing that returning to his lodging was his priority, he moved his feet.
Several steps ahead, a uniform cloak was neatly draped over a table, and gloves were placed nearby. Slipping them on and clenching his fist, he felt a very faint tingling in his right hand t...

The portly old man glanced towards the site of the commotion, shook his head, climbed into his palanquin, and commanded, "Let's head back to the mansion." The palanquin moved slowly away.

At his shout, the burly men surrounding the palanquin started, immediately tensing up. They encircled the palanquin protectively, eyeing Lin Wanrong with ca...

Xiao Yuruo didn't know what was happening. Seeing him tease her with that demeanor, she felt an immense sense of injustice, pushing him off the carriage, and the tears began to flow. As Lin San jumped down from the carriage dejectedly, the Eldest Miss angrily flung aside the curtain. With a kick, she flung off her embroidered shoes.
Feeling both embarrassed and angry, she picked up a cup of aromatic tea from the table and took a sip. Sudde...

He had heard the jeers of his colleagues as he returned to his quarters after finishing training for the day. They seemed intent on making sure he heard their complaints.
Such characters had always been numerous, even when he was merely a deputy commander. But ever since Kishiar La Orr had nominated him, Yuder, to succeed as the Commander, each day was filled with insults that struck him like blows to the back of the head.
To be honest, Yuder him...

"So, the Duke says so."
Yuder fell silent for a moment, examining the intricate embroidery on the handkerchief in his hand. It was clear at a glance that the handkerchief was made with care from a fine fabric. It seemed too extravagant to be used to wipe the sweat of someone who wasn't even its owner, only to be discarded afterwards.
"Then it might be better to give me a towel instead. As you said, it's a bit... insufficient to wipe with just thi...

"So, in my opinion, allying ourselves with Zachlis Hartan and establishing a link in the east could turn out to be... a beneficial choice in the long term."
"That sounds sensible. My elder brother would approve."
Kishiar, who had chimed in with Yuder's words, scrutinized the purple speckles that had trickled down to his elbow before he lifted his eyes. Hidden beneath his long eyelashes, his crimson irises clearly locked onto Yuder's face.

As Yuder lowered his arm, Kishiar, who had risen from his place, approached and deftly unbuttoned Yuder's uniform and even the inner shirt without hesitation.
