2025-06-07 15:23:22Fang Yun was beaming. His face lit up with a joy that revealed the happiness flooding his mind.
Once on horseback, Fang Yun spurred ahead, followed by Ho Chen from behind. The people of the Luyin duchy, upon crossing paths with the son of Duke Fang An, immediately bowed their heads in respect. This left Mei Ling puzzled. Until now, she still had no clear understanding of Fang Yun’s true status.
A soldier hurriedly opened the palace gate upon seeing their leader’s son arriving in front of the palace. Five other soldiers stood tall with their heads bowed.
Fang Yun invited Mei Ling and Ho Chen to dismount. A soldier took the reins of the two prized horses and led them inside.
“Why are we here?” Mei Ling asked, puzzled.
“It’s nothing serious. Just a little errand. Come on, let’s go in,” Fang Yun replied.
Ho Chen gave a slight smile. The once-rival-turned-close-friend had drastically c

Gayatri’s Explanation
Before Fang Yun could respond to Ho Chen’s words, there was a knock on the door, followed immediately by it swinging open.Gayatri stepped into the room with a bright smile on her lips—a smile that was clearly forced. A motherly warmth still shone in the eyes of this woman who had given birth to both a son and a daughter.Neither Fang Yun nor Ho Chen had any suspicions about Gayatri entering the room. They both assumed she simply wanted to spend more time with her son after being separated from him for a whole year.Gayatri walked to the bed and sat down between the two young men. In response, Fang Yun and Ho Chen straightened their backs and assumed a more respectful posture.“Fang Yun, Ho Chen... there’s something I need to talk to you both about,” Gayatri began, pausing to bite her lower lip.She truly found it difficult to speak the truth, but she tried her best to choose her words carefully, hoping to offer another reason that would prompt the two young men to leave the palace as
Suspicion
Fang Yun could sense that something was wrong. And when he connected it with the code his father had given earlier in the hall, he felt there must be a connection."Father, is something wrong?" Fang Yun asked. His eyes glanced at Ho Chen, who was also watching him.As a father, Duke Fang An certainly didn’t want to worry his son. He forced a smile onto his lips as best as he could. Though bitter, he had to manage it."There’s nothing, my son. Just a small matter, nothing you need to trouble yourself with. Your father is still more than capable of handling it," he replied."But, Father...""That's enough, Fang Yun. It’s your father's matter, let me handle this little issue," Duke Fang An interjected, stopping his son's words. "Why are you home already? Isn’t the long break still a year away? And who are your two friends?""Star Sword Sect no longer exists, my husband. So our son can’t train there an

Fang Yun’s Offer
“Damn it! Why didn’t you tell me there was a girl behind the fence?” Fang Yun whispered sharply.“How should I know?” Ho Chen shrugged his shoulders.“You could’ve sensed her energy!” Fang Yun snapped back.“Couldn’t you do the same?”Fang Yun paused for a moment, then chuckled and smacked his forehead. “No wonder I didn’t feel any energy—she’s not a warrior like us.”“Exactly. Now you get it. Come on, let’s go. I want to ask her something.” Ho Chen walked off without waiting for Fang Yun to reply.Their steps came to a halt near the girl they had just rescued. Ho Chen didn’t speak right away; instead, he stared at her face for a moment. He was still curious about the pure blood running through her veins.“Thank you both for your help. My name is Mei Ling, but you can call me Mei,” she said, introducing herself.“I’m Ho Chen, and this is Fang Yun. May I ask where you’re from? Tomorrow morning, we’ll escort you home.”“My home is in Shuyang village. But it’s no use taking me back,” Mei
The End of the Rescue
The incarnation of the Sun God rose to his feet. But before he could even catch his breath, a spear slash nearly tore through his body—had he reacted a second too late, it would have been over. Ho Chen used the wall of the chamber as a foothold, launching himself away in a blur, landing near the entrance of the ritual chamber.“Damn it! How did he manage to dodge that?!” cursed the demon guardian in frustration. No wonder he was angry; just moments ago, the young man had seemed distracted.Seeing the demon's agitation, Ho Chen seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack.But before he did, he caught a glimpse of Fang Yun trying to untie the bindings wrapped around the unconscious girl lying on the stone table. Not far from them stood a man leaning against the wall, clearly too weak to resist or fight back.The inside of the house trembled again as Ho Chen's attack missed and struck the wall. Cracks began to form where his Thousand Shadow Strike had failed to hit its target.The v
The Iron Staff's Power
After shouting a curse, Qiang Mo realized he was utterly powerless. Aside from his transformation into a statue-like form, he had no other abilities left.It was the transformation process—from a demon to a complete human—that had temporarily stripped him of his powers. And if the ritual of the Sacred Virgin's blood sacrifice, which was supposed to reach its climax under tonight's full moon, could be completed successfully, then there would be nothing more to worry about. No matter how powerful a human warrior might be, none would be able—or even possible—to stand against him.Qiang Mo’s eyes stared blankly at the open door. He could see the battle raging outside, and it dashed what little hope he had of surviving. For only the two guardian demons could protect him and secure the success of the final ritual.“Damn it. I should’ve accepted the king’s offer back then,” he muttered regretfully in his heart.Yes. Twelve moons ago, when Qiang Mo declared his desire to become human before t
