by DewdropTL — In the spring, the bare branches of the trees sprouted green buds again. Although the weather hadn't warmed up much, the snow had already melted, and the earth was showing signs of green. On the day the academy reopened, news of Ji Linxi becoming history tutor Huai Xiuyong's "closing disciple" spread throughout the institution. The tutors were shocked, and even the Principal sought out Huai Xiuyong. "Xiuyong, did you really take Ji Linxi as your student?" Huai Xiuyong nodded. "I did." The…

by DewdropTL — If he were to marry the beauty, would it not mean complete obedience in every matter, treasuring him above life itself? “...Is extending your hand an absolute requirement?” “Absolute,” Ji Linxi replied, his gaze unwavering. “If that is the case—” Under Ji Linxi’s intense scrutiny, Chu Yu offered a faint smile before turning to Yan Huai. “Then let us trouble Heir Yan to receive the first divination.” Yan Huai: “……” Ji Linxi: “ suicide……” Yan Huai brought…

by DewdropTL — As the cock crowed and the morning light broke, Ji Linxi arrived at the Risheng Courtyard, full of joy. He had expected to smoothly behold the "Beauty's" lotus-like face, but to his surprise, he learned that the Beauty had already taken his men to the Prefect’s office the night before, leaving Ji Linxi behind with instructions to be sent over once he woke up. The smile on his face instantly collapsed. "Young Master Xi, would you like to go now or a bit later?" asked the guard Chu Yu had left to…

by DewdropTL — He, too, wanted to live in a mansion like this, idling his life away in comfort until the day he died. After two continuous days of heavy, goose-feather snow, Yongcheng was nearly buried. Stepping into the snow outside the house would swallow a person’s calf halfway. Ji Linxi huddled under three layers of blankets, too lazy to get out of bed. But he had to. The Wang family, whom he had scammed... no, made an appointment with the day before yesterday, were expecting him at their manor today to…

by DewdropTL — Oh, Ji Linxi, Ji Linxi—you have truly fallen completely because of this beautiful face! The servant who had been secretly listening outside heard up to this point and quietly left. He went to report to Master Wang. "The two noble guests from the capital asked Daoist Master Chu to read their fortunes and marriage prospects. Other than that, there was nothing else. The two noble guests seem to be very interested in fortune-telling." Master Wang, leaning back in his black ebony chair, opened his…

by DewdropTL — Chu Yu lowered his eyes in contemplation. Ji Linxi took this opportunity to feast his eyes on the snowy skin, raven-black hair, soft pink lips, amber pupils, and slightly upturned corners of his beloved’s eyes. His gaze was burning with intensity. Yan Huai gave a cold sneer and was about to make a sarcastic remark, but Chu Yu glanced at him; he shut his mouth and turned his head away. Chu Yu seemed to be weighing his options. A moment later, he said in a soft, gentle voice, "In that case, Young…

by DewdropTL — The meals of the wealthy were truly something else; even the food of immortals couldn't be much better than this, right? By the time they reached the Junzi Pavilion, where the young master of the Wang family resided, Ji Linxi had gathered just about everything he wanted to know. "It was that wretched girl who didn't know what was good for her. I wanted to treat her well, but she insulted me, cursed me, and even stabbed me with her hairpin! I... I was just a little rough with her in a fit of…

by DewdropTL — Chapter 34: He Seemed to Re-evaluate His Student Today As the hall doors opened, Yunsheng nodded toward Eunuch Chen and stepped out. Eunuch Chen entered the hall while the other palace attendants remained outside. He bowed slightly and approached Chu Yu. "Your Highness, the Sixth Prince has sent an invitation—he surely doesn't have good intentions. Must you really go?" Chu Yu closed the book in his hand and rose from the daybed. His shoes clicked against the floor as he smiled faintly. "Go.…

by DewdropTL — He wanted the beauty, and he wanted the money too; he was exactly that kind of greedy and lustful scoundrel. Ji Linxi's current posture was just like a common rogue in the streets, a far cry from the dignified stance of the Daoist who had just performed the divination. Yan Huai was so infuriated by this behavior that his heart actually ached. "Ah Huai, put away your sword. Do not frighten Young Master Xi," Chu Yu glanced at him. Yan Huai bit his teeth and sheared his sword. Ji Linxi also knew…
