60 - Playing Dumb

“Oh, one more thing.” Yin turned around, her tiny face thoughtful. “Don’t let anyone know you have seen me here, not even Old Fogey Mo, okay?” 

Old Fogey Mo?

She probably meant the Tenth Elder, Sword Flash Ye Mo?

Without being told more, Qing Wu You understood what the little girl was implying. He had questions to ask, but this was probably not the best time for the two of them to talk. He fixed his slightly messy clothes and bowed courteously. “I might not be a strong cultivator yet, but communicating with people is my specialty. You can be at ease and leave everything here to me. For a task as small as this, I know what to do, Boss. You can count on me. I will surely not disappoint!”

He could not help pinching his nose at the mess he found himself in.The important guests from the capital were fuming mad, and the disciples of his sect were appalled and in a panic. Although the little boy called Young Master Qing—who was now reintroduced to him as Prince Qing Wu You, a direct descendant of the royal family—was not hurt, there were two assaulted Ye Sect disciples, one even seriously injured. Not only that, a rare high-level array never seen before in the city had been launched within the heart of Ye Sect’s territory.Was there an enemy from the outside, or was there a spy from the inside?When the Purple Plumed General started berating him, he could only lower his

    63 - The Funniest Joke I’ve Ever Heard Today!Far north of the Qing Blessed Lands…Beyond the battle fortresses built by the Qing Imperial Family thousands of years ago lay a stretch of war-torn barren land that the soldiers stationed in the northern battalion call the ‘Death Zone’. No plants grew on this land that stretched for miles and miles. The soil had long turned red due to the seemingly never - ending battles that had used this area as their stage, but as the northern region was under a spell of eternal winter, it was rare for the soil to appear aboveground.Most of the time, the Death Zone was a blanket of ice and snow.Beyond the infamous Death Zone was a mountain range dividing human territory from the

It wasn’t that his life was in danger--the thing is, if Old Fogey Mo was to interrogate him, h

    65 - The Path of Cultivation of the Ancient Xia Continent Ye Mo could not understand how a little girl no taller than an adult’s waist could pack so much trouble within that tiny body. He could not remember when was the last time he was this physically and mentally exhausted. As Little Yin tinkered with her communication talisman, Ye Mo escorted her towards the lakeside pavilion where she was asked to meet the members of the Qing Imperial Family. “Old Fogey?” she asked without looking up. “Hmm?” He raised a brow. “What now?” “Can you explain to me the cultivation system of this world?” Ye Mo felt weirded out by her words. “You sound like you aren’t of this world.”

It’s a small place, and you are all quite weak.”Ye Mo was already quite thirsty after explaining all that knowledge regarding the Ancient Xia Continent’s cultivation system to Little Yin.Yin’s honest response made him unable to react. “You… you…”“What? I’m just saying what I honestly think.”Looking at her serious expression, Ye Mo wanted to squeeze her face once more. “You’re an awful ungrateful brat!”“Yo, if you can't handle me at my worst then I'll leave because I don't have a best. I'm always awful!

As a subject of the Qing Imperial Family, as a mere elder of a third-rate sect, he knew better than to act like LittleYin at the moment, who was merrily munching on the sweet buns at the table.Little Yin was a kid. With her mysterious background and given the support of Prince Qing Wu You, her behavior would be excused.But him, this poor old guy...At the moment, one wrong move and any of these Qings could yell, “Off with his head!” and the Ye Patriarch might even volunteer to do it.From what he’s hearing, he realized that Little Yin seemed to have taken the young prince as her subordinate.

    Scholar Rai held the ancient scroll between two calloused fingers, studying the faded ink with narrowed eyes. The papyrus was brown with age, the content written in a verbose and grand manner, as was usually the case with writings from hundreds of years ago. Its importance could not be translated into words. In fact, it surprised him that his lord father managed to keep these imperial treasures away from the capital.It had taken him twice the usual time to understand the runes. He found himself impressively overwhelmed not only by the sheer historic importance of these documents, but also because the prophecies spoke of the expiration of the bloods of the Old.He feared that the first of the visions written have come into passing.The scrolls he found were written by the last of the true prophets, during a time of historic darkness, the Legaliath Cross, back when magic was free to be harnessed by every man and woman and child. The Legaliath Cross was a devastating war that decimated

    "You find this funny, Silver?" This was the first time that Lakas had directly addressed her in a conversation. She could not help but shudder at the slight amusement that colored his normally stern voice. "He could have killed you."Her smile widened.Lakas almost mirrored her expression, but then when he realized that he had spectators in the form of the other three girls inside her cage, he erased any trace of emotion from his face. "The four of you are currently part of the most prized collection of the emperor, but let me warn you. Not all warriors in this camp think the same as I do. You girls are precious, but you are replaceable. Think before you act."As soon as he left, the oldest of the girls, a beauty with curly flaxen hair and foliage green eyes scooted close to her. It was the first time anyone attempted to communicate with her. Most of the time, she was simply left alone in her corner of the cage. "That man just protected you, Silver," Green Eyes laughed excitedly. "He

    The survivors were placed in metal cages where the heathens could openly leer at them, appreciating the goods before they were sold. The young warrior called Lakas looked incredibly silly with parchment and quill in his bloody hands, and his annoyed look did not escape her when he was tasked to make an inventory of the slaves."Name?"While the prisoners around her sobbed and wailed for their losses, Enna merely tried to make herself small in a corner. She never spoke. She never raised her head.Lakas snatched her chin. He was scowling. "Name?"When she refused to answer, the bald man behind Lakas growled before backhanding her. "Stupid girl! Tell us your name so that we can be done with this sham and leave!"Elbows shaking, she sat up, gazing at them with tired silvery eyes. Still, she did not open her mouth."You – "Lakas stopped the man with a wave. "Drop it. I will simply write Silver."The man smirked.

    *She woke up to a strangled sound akin to an injured animal.Crying.Someone was crying.As the sound grew louder, she stirred, slowly, groaning due to the escalating pain at the base of her skull. Opening her eyes, she saw bloody bodies around her. Bile rose, and she emptied the contents of her stomach into the scarlet snow. After a few fuzzy seconds, she realized with relief that most of the bodies around her appeared to be moving. Bloody, but alive. She profusely thanked the good Spirits that there were people who still lived, despite the nagging thought that most of them would have preferred to have died along with their dignity and families.Her arms and feet were bound. Bound with thick ropes. She tried to stretch her legs, grasping too late that she was merely a stride away from the big fire that her captors made.She flinched from the pain.It was the same kind of burning pain that paralyzed her before she blacked out.It was also her first memory. Awakened by a burning pain

    The heathens burned the temples. They attacked the farms. They destroyed everything from tiny peasant homes to historical monuments more than hundreds of years old. People who resisted died. People who surrendered died. The snow-clad village of Cardia was stained red. Blood of men. Blood of women. Blood of children.The enemy's arrival was silent; their attack sudden. The sleepy spell brought by winter on the border village was broken by animalistic screams of pain. Cries of people burning were everywhere. There were shrieks of villagers dying. By midnight, half of Cardian population was slain mercilessly by the bronze-skinned men covered in wolf pelts.The invaders relished the sight of the pale people bleeding, enjoying every slash of sword and arrow released as the village burned. They meant to annihilate every Northerner. They were humans on bloodlust — hungry predators on the hunt.They proudly called themselves the sons of Summer. The Cardians called them heathens from the Sout

    Even if the Mind Forgets, the Soul Remembers (3)A fair-skinned human girl no taller than the height of his waist, wearing a satin robe that was neither stained by blood or mud. Big eyes on a small face, perfectly arranged black hair in a style of braided bun, delicately balanced features that indicated she would surely grow into a gorgeous young lady given a few years.Her adorable appearance made one have an urge to pinch her chubby cheeks, and if there were any females around, Ye Mo felt that they would fawn over how the little girl looked like a beautiful living, breathing doll.‘And it’s not a sight that should be seen in the middle of a battlefield.’Ye Mo tried to open his mouth to say something, but he remained unable to utter even a single word.‘Dangerous.’It didn’t make sense, but that was what his intuition was telling Ye Mo. His body wasn’t responding—there was no flight impulse, no, there wasn’t even an attempt to fight against the girl, even if it’s a last act of survi

    265 - The Girl Who Cannot be Remembered (2)“This body is truly inconvenient.”Little Yin sighed as she sat on the eaves of the roof, looking like a tomboy leisurely camping when in fact she’s trying to reconstruct her soul with the help of moonlight.At first, she thought of leaving the Ye Clan while Ye Mo was unconscious. She felt like staying would give her a huge headache, but she was tied up by all the connections she made in this city.The Qing Blessed Lands had officially entered the state of war.Though communication was crippled, Little Yin was able to overhear the intelligence gathered by the hidden experts brought by the Purple Plumed General.Immortal Wuwei’s timely arrival managed to save Ye Sect and the entire Leaf City, but that wasn’t the same with the other cities. Even the news about the situation in the imperial capital could not be found.That little pretty boy, Qing Wu You, wanted to return to check on his family.

    264 - The Girl Who Cannot be Remembered (1) “Uncle, are you all right?” It was Ye Hua who first noticed that Ye Mo was acting strange. The man’s eyes were looking at the people in the room as if they were people he had not seen for a long time. There was recognition in his gaze, as well as a kind of dissonance. “Huh? Yeah…yeah…” After staying unconscious for days and almost crossing the fine line of life and death, it was reasonable for Ye Mo to be in a daze, and everyone thought so as well. But Ye Hua’s intuition was telling him that his uncle was not just confused, but actually not in a normal state of mind. However, he decided to stay quiet. Because he felt that Little Yin had something to do with this. The young man’s eyes glanced in the direction of the little girl, who brought them all towards the room saying that Ye Mo should be waking up soon. Ye Hua remembered that incident several days ago, that eerie darkness that made his soul tremble. A power that could oppose n

    263 – Even if the Mind Forgets, the Soul Remembers (5)‘I died?’Ye Mo tried to remember the last thing that happened to him, but only fragmented pieces of images appeared in his mind. Confusion was the only thing he could feel aside from the head-splitting pain, though he was trying to calm himself and follow the words of the little girl to embrace his memories.‘Since I died, shouldn’t I undergo samsara? Why am I seeing the memories of my former reincarnations?’What happened to him before he appeared and walked around that endless darkness?No, wait, what was he doing before the little girl appeared?He was swinging his sword against—The little girl frowned when she saw the images swimming inside his mind.“Outers.”Gaaaasp!She reached out her small chubby hands and touched the crown of his head, and she channeled her spiritual energy inside his body, focusing it on erasing those images that did not belong to him or to this era.“You are in so much pain because you took a peek at
