Nervous, Qi Qingyao licked her lips as she felt light-headed. She asked Dabao, “So, how do you feel?”

Dabao tilted his head and shifted his attention to his body. Stretching out his little arms and legs, he muttered softly, “I don’t feel any different.”

Not feeling any different? Qi Qingyao could not help but glance over to Lu Yan to ask him, “Is this what’s supposed to happen?”

Lu Yan crossed his arms and responded with another question, “What did you expect to happen?”

“…” Well, Qi Qingyao did not dare reveal that she expected instant astronomical changes, where her child would somehow become sensible after eating the very costly pill. Was this really just it? Nothing else?

Qi Qingyao had to mention that she felt mildly disappointed. She sighed and patted Dabao’s little shoulders. “You should get a good night’s sleep. Maybe a change will be more apparent once you wake up.”

Dabao left for bed happily.

On the way back to his bedroom.

 Xiaobao and Erniu both kept grabbing at Dabao — they wanted to know if he really did not feel any different.

Qi Qingyao felt greatly touched witnessing this scene.

Dabao had eaten the Pill of Omnipotence, so now only Xiaobao was left. She would soon have to find another pill for Xiaobao, through any means necessary.

She had to be a good, impartial mother!

Sweeping a glance at the rainy night, Qi Qingyao thought to herself, “Early spring has come, and so has the rain it brings.”

…

…

Midnight.

Under the heavy rain.

The Qingyang Lake was covered entirely by a layer of white mist from the splattering of raindrops.

Though the streets by the lake were empty, the loud splattering of raindrops filled the atmosphere.

Two old men in gray robes stood by the lake, seemingly unbothered by the heavy rain. The raindrops that fell upon them seemed to be blocked by an invisible protective shield, rolling down the shield without soaking the men’s clothes.

Shang Li swept a glance at Gongsun She who was next to him and asked.

“Your injuries haven’t healed completely. Are you certain you want to leave now?”

Gongsun She let out a cough. He touched his chest where his internal injuries would be, and said, “That kid is still in Qingzhou City. If he finds me, there might be another massacre. So, it’s best I leave this treacherous ground as soon as possible.”

“I too will be going back to the Capital City soon,” said Shang Li.

Gongsun She said, “Once we part ways this time, it’s hard to know when we will meet again.”

Shang Li responded, “We don’t have any reason to meet again.”

Gongsun She burst out into laughter and said, “Maybe Mr. Shang will have broken through the limits of a grand master by the next time we see each other.”

Shang Li looked at the white, misty lake and replied, “I’m counting on that.”

Gongsun She’s internal injuries would require a few more months to fully recover. The shore of Qingyang Lake was a pleasant place, well suited for his recovery. However, with the young boy’s presence, it was too dangerous for him to stay. He had no choice but to return to Cangjing to recuperate properly. Thinking of Si Jin, Gongsun She could not help but joke, “The Mainland will no longer be peaceful.”

Shang Li nodded and said, “Now that Pang Juan has passed, only one of the two grand masters of Eastern Ling remains. Eastern Ling has already withdrawn its troops and will not be invading Northern Liang again anytime soon. Your Daming emperor is no fool, either—he will likely avoid striking us again.”

“The situation on Mainland had turned upside down in a mere instant. Unfortunately, no one had expected this.” Gongsun She thought to himself. At first, everyone was certain that Northern Liang would surely have fallen this time as it was flanked from both sides simultaneously. Who would have thought that a young grand master would show up just in the nick of time, and even be able to kill Pang Juan.

Shang Li had a surprising thought and carefully chose his words to express it. “Actually, is there really a need for war between the big nations that wish to annex each other?”

“What do you mean?” It was obvious that there was an alternate meaning behind his words.

Shang Li responded nonchalantly, “I once heard this from the emperor of Daming—whoever in charge of the ghost organization can easily reign over the entire continent.”

A sudden streak of light flashed across Gongsun She’s eyes.
