Who is the other person? Based on their figure, it should be a woman, but she is different from Evangeline or Butterfly. Could it be the secret agent who was hiding in the flower street earlier? The one who helped Brock escape from the Marquis mansion? That is very possible. Thinking this, Caelum lowered his body and held his breath to avoid being noticed.The next moment, he saw Brock step forward and knock on the door, shouting in a hoarse voice: "Shopkeeper, I have come to pick up some clothes.""We are already closed, come back tomorrow.""I have an important matter tomorrow and urgently need those formal clothes, I hope you..."As he spoke, there was a knocking sound on the door. Two long, two short, very regular, repeated twice. On this night with heavy rain, the sound traveled clearly for dozens of feet. Caelum heard it naturally, but he was more concerned with the identity of the slender person beside Brock. After a moment of conversation, the door of the tailor shop opened, a

Caelum was well aware that Sterling was not just being polite. Since his visit to Guiyun Academy two days ago, the discussions of the scholars in Silverstream City had long reached his ears. If he hadn't claimed to be ill and refused to see guests, his courtyard would have been crowded. Even so, many people from noble families who felt they had some connection to the Valerius family kept coming to visit.Caelum knew all this, not because his cultivation had improved, but because of "the informant" Butterfly. Every time she left the residential villa, she brought back news. Which old master had gone to see the grandfather, which lady had visited the other courtyard, and so on. Moreover, in these two days, Evangeline had been coming to talk to him. She would bring ginger tea in the morning and supervise dinner in the evening, sharing news about who she had met and the current relationship between those families and the Valerius family. Most of the time, Caelum just listened without maki

After one night, the sky over Silverstream remained overcast. The drizzle paused for a while, then intensified again, as if the heavens couldn't bear to see too many people out and about. Unfortunately, in such weather, few appreciated his kindness. Many cursed the heavens, clearly annoyed by the continuous rain. However, many others remained unaffected by the weather, their faces beaming with smiles, seemingly overjoyed. For example, some idlers used it as an excuse to sleep in, or the shop owners selling oil-paper umbrellas and raincoats. They all wore smiles.Caelum POV: Caelum was one of them. However, his joy wasn't due to the rain, but rather a breakthrough in his cultivation. Around 3:30 AM, after finishing his practice, he sensed the surging true energy within his body. From then on, the smile on his face never faded. If last night Caelum only vaguely sensed that the power of his various techniques would increase after receiving the spiritual energy boost from the Black Tortoi

Just as the atmosphere inside the pharmacy was becoming tense with the bickering, a rhythmic sound of drums and trumpets shattered the gloom from outside. It was a lively, celebratory sound, yet it lacked the specific cadence of a wedding procession. Soon, the group stopped directly in front of the pharmacy. The sharp, piercing noise, combined with the cacophony of the shop, was the last straw for Tony. He tossed his ledger and abacus onto the desk, marched out into the rain, and barked, "This is a place of healing! How dare you make such a racket here? If you upset the patients, will you be the ones taking the blame?"The music cut off instantly. A thin, elderly man in fine, silken robes, holding a long object wrapped in rich red cloth, stepped forward and bowed gracefully. "We are here to present a plaque to the divine physician Julian. Please forgive our lack of consideration for the environment; we didn't intend to cause a disturbance."Tony froze. "A plaque for Julian?" When the

The second young master of the Vance family? A marriage proposal?Caelum frowned inwardly, glancing at Evangeline, who remained completely oblivious to the approaching trouble and continued to smile happily. He had already deduced who was responsible for sending the commemorative plaque to the pharmacy earlier. But why choose this specific moment to show up? It was highly annoying. Yet, he knew that the world rarely operated according to one's convenience.Before long, Caelum watched as the handsome man dressed in black silk confidently strode into the tavern. By his side was the veiled woman with the cold, piercing eyes. Upon entering, the man’s gaze immediately locked onto Caelum and Evangeline's table, and the pair began making their way over.Evangeline noticed their approach as well. She gave them a brief, passing glance before turning back to her family with a smile. "My brother-in-law and Leo should eat plenty later. Sylvia and I have rather small appetites."Just as the words
