Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧?≦*)

Mu Chuan cleared his throat and spoke seriously, "The three of us came to see you as we have two pieces of news to share——one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Without hesitation, Gu Jiao answered, "The bad one?"

The three of them exchanged an awkward glance.

Mu Chuan braced himself and said, "Well, during the time you were sick… we had a match against Canaan Academy."

Yuan Xiao, always impatient, commented, "What do you mean 'the time you were sick'? It was just yesterday!"

Gu Jiao looked at the three of them and said, "So, the bad news you want to tell me is——"

Mu Chuan admitted with shame, "We lost. We let you down."

Not at all! You didn't let me down, not even a bit!

You’re heroes!

I’m so proud of you!

Gu Jiao’s eyes sparkled as she asked, "What’s the good news?"

A reward of ten thousand taels, and there was still more good news? Could it be an additional reward of a thousand taels of gold?

Mu Chuan straightened his back as he said, "The good news is, although we lost, thanks to my hard lobbying, the people from Canaan Academy finally agreed to exchange the rewards with us. We’re going to see the Emperor soon! Hahaha! Aren’t I awesome?"

Gu Jiao slammed her fist down, smashing Mu Chuan's head onto the table!

Awesome, my foot!

Who the heck wants to see the Emperor?!

Give me back my gold——

Throughout the entire day, the murderous atmosphere from the back of the class was particularly strong.

Gu Jiao sat in her seat with a dark expression, turning the whole classroom into her personal little battlefield.

The students of Mingxin Hall collectively held their books, trembling in fear.

On the other side, Xiao Heng had just dropped Little Jing Kong off at Lingbo Academy.

He had taken leave from Canglan Women’s Academy.

He was the top student, excelling in every subject and was the most promising student in the eyes of his teachers. Even if he requested leave for several consecutive days, not a single teacher would refuse him.

He wanted to go to the outer city to see if Gu Jiao had returned.

After getting into his own carriage, he changed back into his regular male attire and said, "Head out of the city."

The coachman was a servant he had purchased, who knew of his male identity and understood that when he said "to the outer city," he specifically meant heading out through the southern inner city gate.

The coachman drove the carriage southward.

As they passed by an old, well-known shop, Xiao Heng told the coachman, "Stop for a moment; I’m going to buy something."

"Yes." The coachman pulled the carriage to the side of the road.

The coachman wanted to suggest that he could buy it instead, but from his observations, whenever it came to buying things for those close to him, this young master always preferred to pick them out personally.

Xiao Heng was going to buy some jerky for Gu Jiao. The jerky from this shop matched Gu Jiao’s taste perfectly.

At this time of day, there weren’t many people in line, so Xiao Heng ordered a bit of each of the two available flavors.

The spicy flavor was sold out, so the shopkeeper went to the back to get more, "Young master, please wait a moment; it will be ready shortly!"

Xiao Heng waited patiently as a few more customers gradually gathered around, also waiting for the jerky they ordered.

A young scholar said, "Hey, have you heard? The Crown Princess has returned."

The companion beside him replied, "She has? How come I didn’t know?"

A middle-aged man leaned over and smiled, saying, "She’s not returning with the fanfare of a Crown Princess, so of course you didn’t know. Besides... she’s not the Crown Princess anymore, right? Didn’t the Emperor depose her a long time ago? He even issued an imperial decree back then."

The young scholar lowered his voice a bit, "But I heard that the Emperor’s original words when issuing the decree was to bring back the ‘Crown Princess’."

"Slip of the... cough." The middle-aged man covered his mouth.

What he wanted to say was that the Emperor must have a slip of the tongue. The Crown Princess had been demoted to a commoner, and now the State of Yan had no Crown Princess, only a Crown Prince.

As they were talking, a large carriage suddenly began to approach slowly from the long street behind them.

The carriage was large, drawn by six horses, with four guards escorting it on each side.

In terms of the number of guards, it wasn't particularly many, but six horses——that was the standard for an imperial member.

Xiao Heng heard the middle-aged man beside him gasp, "It’s the Crown Princess!"

Perhaps he hadn’t expected that the other party would appear as they were speaking about her, so he was so astonished that his exclamation of “Crown Princess” was heard by everyone around.

Immediately, everyone surged toward the carriage.

There were too many people. Xiao Heng didn't plan to join the commotion at this critical moment. After taking the jerky handed to him by the shopkeeper, he turned around and left.

Unexpectedly, in their excitement to see the Crown Princess, someone shoved him out of the way!

Caught off guard, he stumbled and fell right in front of the carriage.

Xiao Heng never expected to be pushed out of the crowd like that. How long had it been since he encountered such an unlucky occurrence?

Clearly, when he ran into robbers, the signboard would fall and crush them, and when he came across thieves, they would get knocked down by a passing carriage...

Could it be that as soon as he changed back into men's clothing, his bad luck returned?

If he were trampled by the horse's hooves, he wouldn’t even know that he died.

Fortunately, because everyone rushed forward to see the Crown Princess, the street’s drivable space became narrow, and the carriage's speed was forced to slow down a bit.

He still had time to get up and move out of the way.

Xiao Heng propped himself up on the ground, enduring the pain in his knee as he stood up.

But just as he took a step, he unknowingly stepped on something, his foot slipped, and down he went again!

This time, he fell flat on his face——it was truly——

"Ah! Not good!"

The coachman also hadn’t expected that Xiao Heng would suddenly fall again after seeing him get up!

He had already slowed down and couldn’t slow down any more...

And if he braked too quickly and the Crown Princess got thrown out of the carriage, whose fault would that be?

The guards, riding in formation on either side of the carriage, had no time to rein in their horses either.

At the critical moment, a figure in blue suddenly leaped from the front, soaring through the air over the heads of the crowd.

Even though the distance was great, he arrived in front of the carriage in the blink of an eye.

Without stopping, he extended his strong and slender hand, grabbed Xiao Heng from the ground, and swiftly darted forward——all done in lightning speed.

And because his speed was so fast, he couldn’t stop his momentum in time.

"Ah! He’s going to crash into the Crown Princess’s carriage!"

"Oh no!"

The crowd simply couldn’t bear to watch.

However, what they feared didn’t happen.

The figure in blue suddenly rose into the air, carrying Xiao Heng over the top of the Crown Princess's carriage.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
