Meanwhile, it started to drizzle with coldness.Shortly before dusk, as one side of the gate of the imperial city opened silently, two rows of paper umbrellas and reddish lanterns slowly moved through the gate.The leading middle-aged man, wearing an official suit and an official hat, walked through the gate and then slightly stopped.

Chapter 2 The Young Man Who Woke Up

At midnight, the bright moon was high in the sky, the gate of Xiongzheng Palace was closed. The floor palace lanterns inside the palace were all lit, illuminating the interior furnishings brightly with the red candlelight.Ning Qinshui stood at the gate and frowned.The usher was still the Song Ce whom they met in the daytime. Song Ce explained, “This is General Wang Yangyu’s main hall. Since he perished abruptly three days ago, the hall has been locked. However, late every night, the candles in the hall will burn themselves. Meanwhile, an old voice will come from inside vaguely once in a while.”Ning Qinshui frowned and asked, “What voice?”Song Ce replied, “It was too vague to be clearly heard, but according to the palace maids, it was General Wang’s voice.”Ning Qinshui asked again, “Where is General Wang’s body?”Song Ce seemed to recall something. Subconsciously, he clenched his fists and sighed, “Bur

Chapter 3 Meet Another Self

His eyes were crystal and extremely light.They looked like the mists at both ends of the fall and also the drifting sparks on a midwinter night.He looked sideways and frowned when he looked at the crazy walking corpse and the unconscious girl.Then he stretched out his finger and pointed at the fierce walking corpse with uncertainty.The candlelight gradually faded away, and the hall was silent.After a while, the young man stood up. Looking at the rotten flesh torn apart on the ground, he made his judgment, “So weak.”Then he looked at the dying girl and frowned. Memories just flashed through his mind. He only felt some pain in his head and seemed to be watching a difficult puzzle. Then he raised his index finger and pointed amidst her eyebrows.That finger was still a bit bloody and dirty, but it didn’t tremble at all....The autumn breeze approached; the moon ro

Chapter 4 The Girl Kneeling in front of the Palace

It was a quiet night. The light was slightly bright. Ning Changjiu stared at her blankly and his faint eyes appeared nearly transparent.He had a moment of confusion.Very quickly, he restored himself to peace, just like the twinkling flame between the sleeves of the blue shirt, which appeared and vanished in an instant.“Have a good rest and don’t think too much,” he said. “I am your fellow disciple, always and forever.”Ning Xiaoling looked at him in fear.Ning Changjiu looked at her face. The girl moved backward subconsciously and touched the wall. Instantly, she shivered.In a chaotic mind, Ning Changjiu turned around and left. The light went out then. Ning Xiaoling curled up in the corner and looked at the dark ahead of her in horror. She seemed to have run out of her courage. She slumped on the bed, holding her face in her hands. Tears overflowed between her pale and dry fingers.Bang.

Chapter 5 The Sparrow Ghost

The Jiuling Tower was as tall as a hill, with thousands of stone steps winding upwards. At the top of it, a copper statue of a colossal bird flying could be vaguely seen.That was the place where the imperial family of the state of Zhao held the memorial ceremony as well as the shrine for the annual great sacrifice to heaven.The bottom of the Jiuling Tower was surrounded by eight huge copper furnaces, one of which had already got flames in it. The turbulent flames were spurting heat waves with sparks scattered around.Even if Ning Qinshui’s corpse was covered with a sheet of white cloth, the rotten flesh and decayed bones could still be seen.Song Ce glanced at the young man and the young girl behind him. The young girl frowned, which indicated that she must feel extremely painful; the young man who dared to talk wildly just now must drop the absurd thought when he saw the scene.However, after carefully observing Nin

Chapter 6 Her Highness

“Her Highness?”After a short silence, a hubbub of voices arose.“When did she come back?”“How can I know it? Not a clue at all!”“Can’t believe...she is still alive.”Song Ce heaved a sigh with his hands in his sleeves constantly trembling. His fear and anxiety couldn’t be concealed anymore.Ning Xiaoling was stunned for a while and then suddenly said, “Could it be her?”Ning Changjiu asked, “Who?”Ning Xiaoling immediately explained, “According to the legend, in the imperial palace, when it comes to ‘Highness’, everyone will not think of the crown prince, a prince or princess but...the foster daughter of a goddess.”Ning Changjiu became even more puzzled. “A foster daughter?”Ning Xiaoling nodded. “Legend has it that more than ten years ago, on the way back from the war, the late emperor met a fairy-like woman on the tower. He took this woman back to t

Chapter 7 Late at Night

“Your master is quite famous in the state of Zhao. I thought that his intervention this time could put an end to the matter, but it turned out to end like this.”Zhao Shisong led the way ahead and said with pity.“But you don’t have to be afraid. Maybe it is because my mansion is too cold and my wife is too weak that she has got sick. Her situation may not be that critical.”Ning Changjiu nodded and said, “Master was devoted to Taoism all his life and eventually died for it. In a sense, he ended his life well.”Zhao Shisong never expected this young man to be so philosophical. He laughed and commended, “If things go well in the future, I think you can outdo your master.”Ning Changjiu said, “Thank you.”Ning Xiaoling walked silently with her head lowered.Zhao Shisong took a look at her and only thought that this little girl was pretty and lovely, except for some coldness between her eyebrows.

Chapter 8 The Banyan Tree and Sunset

“Three years ago, that was the great sacrifice rite of the state of Zhao held every ten years...”Within the South Continent, there were dozens of states of different sizes. Clashes broke out once in a while. However, not any state was strong enough to monopolize the South Continent.The state of Zhao was much weaker than the state of Rong and the state of Jin but it was not weak anyway.According to the legend, a century ago, gods cultivated the virgin land and helped the state of Zhao establish the capital in the wild mountainous areas. Afterward, the mountains became the natural barrier. Later, the legends of immortals building the cottages and cultivating were created and spread, which kind of supported the development of the state of Zhao.Three years ago, envoys of all the other states came to attend the great sacrifice rite. At that time, it was not peaceful in the South Continent. The state of Rong and the state of Jin were

Chapter 9 The Night Raid

Ning Xiaoling opened her eyes when the black shadow flashed across the grilled wooden gate.“Who is that!”A chill ran through her hands and feet. She shouted and instantly got sober.There was a dead silence.Yet, it was such a short instant that even Ning Xiaoling hadn’t finished breathing in and out once. In the darkness on the right side, the extremely low humming sound of the sword arose immediately with the latent killing intent.The breaking sound of the porcelain bottles came clearly.A long sword was stabbed from the wooden shelf on the right side with sheer coldness towards her neck.It was an extremely dangerous attack, like a poisonous snake that jumped up under the grass, extremely swift and gravely fatal.However, intuitively, Ning Xiaoling had noticed the coming attack and leaned backward before the porcelain bottle was broken. When the intent of the sword sprang ac

Chapter 10 Her Insistence

Ning Changjiu said, “A person, a familiar person. I have an inkling that he is in the imperial city. I feel that as long as I meet him, a lot of puzzles in my mind will be solved then.”Ning Xiaoling became more and more confused as she listened. Then she asked, “What puzzles...do you have?”Ning Changjiu said, “Who am I?”Ning Xiaoling felt cold and still smiled with an unchanged countenance, “Changjiu, don’t scare me... By the way, who are you looking for?”Ning Changjiu said uncertainly, “It may be a junior brother disciple or a cute junior sister disciple like you. Anyway, he is in this imperial city now. I can’t locate where he is but I can vaguely feel it.”Ning Xiaoling puckered her lips. “Oh, you want to find a junior sister disciple.”Ning Changjiu smiled, rubbed her head and said, “Have a good rest. Your innate spirit has been broken again, which needs to rest in recuperation.”Ning
