Okay so can we just talk about Magistrate Xu for a second because this man is a MASTERCLASS in cowardice wrapped in vanity. The guy literally planned to sell his own daughter as a concubine to climb the political ladder, and when Zhang Fuyong shows up with the audacity to confront him, what does he do? He immediately throws Madame Lü under the bus like 'it was all her fault, women don't understand rules!' Bro. You were the one making the plan. But here's the thing that actually impressed me—Zhang Fuyong knows EXACTLY how to handle him. He doesn't press for the truth. He lays out the accusation so publicly threatening that the magistrate has to save face, and then Zhang Fuyong gives him the perfect out. 'It was all a misunderstanding! Fourth Son apologizes!' And the magistrate eats it up because his vanity is his weakness. It's almost beautiful how efficiently Zhang Fuyong dismantles him without ever raising his voice. But the real character moment for me was Madame Lü. She sits there listening to Zhang Fuyong and Tang Zhaoyun explain everything, forced to smile, and the text says she was 'resentfully clutching her handkerchief.' She spent years holding onto every bit of household power, refusing to delegate, and now she looks haggard with white hairs in her early thirties. Sun Mama even thinks about telling her to hand off the hosting to Concubine Yao or Du, but she can't let go. Control is her armor and her prison. I want to know what she's actually thinking in that room when the blame lands squarely on her shoulders.
"Well, how do I start?" Ray stopped and turned his back to Jun, again standing at the railings, staring away.
"Just leave her be. That's all she's ever good for anyways. I feel sorry for her sister that she had to put up with her."
Raven was tense. He didn't know what was really going to happen if he went along with them, but rationally he knew that if anything did happen to him, the church was well aware he was going out to meet Ebony today. He sighed and closed his eyes.
After giving the file to his bos, Xi Long still standing at the same spot while observing silently and think what so good about this lady.
"Thank you, I will have them introduce themselves with the phrase 'Greeting Blood Brother' to distinguish them. Second on my agenda is to discuss a matter with Yamato here. I would like to have him come back with me to my residence after we're done."
Excited to read this update, I like Lance character, he is an entertaining character

He had just finished speaking with the doctor about the decimated elders. Apparently, the virus from Mary had spread to them by way of one of the transformed humans that had escaped their slaughter. The Slavers had died almost immediately, unable to transform into something they had never been, and many of the elders had committed suicide when they realized what had happened. The few who remained, and were trying to figure out life as a mortal again, were left on their own.
He didn't try to hold back himself and his Fire, which was already the combination of the Phoenix, Golden Crow and the Vermillion Bird raged out before destroying the whole palace.
