Afterward, Cha-Eun Xiao prepared to retire for the night. He had been tirelessly occupied for several consecutive nights, leaving him utterly drained. Now, at long last, he could indulge in a much-needed night of rest. If he were still the former Xiao Monarch, a solitary figure aloof from the world, how could he have extended such courteous, yet insincere, treatment to the Crown Prince? His temperament wouldn't have allowed him to harbor so many concerns and allow situations to escalate. With his…

"Urn..." Cha-Eun Xiao realized he had perhaps revealed too much information and decided to backtrack, offering a plausible explanation, "Well, you wouldn't know. In fact, I've immersed myself in countless books. Reading is the key to knowledge, after all. My extensive reading has broadened my understanding..." He conjured up a fabricated tale and continued, "The martial art I've been diligently practicing possesses the unique ability to heal wounds inflicted by any of these six martial arts. So, I made…

Cha-Eun Xiao departed from the grandeur of the Crown Prince's Palace, flanked by his companions Lan Lang-Lang and Zuo Wu-Ji. Laughter and conversation filled the air as they strolled away from the palace's opulent halls. Upon reaching his home, Cha-Eun Xiao, now comfortably settled, displayed an air of indifference, as though the palace visit had never occurred. As they prepared to bid farewell to one another, Cha-Eun Xiao produced a small dan bead and presented it to Lan Lang-Lang. He spoke, his voice…

The Battle Art Of A Thousand Troops, renowned for its potency when employed against groups, seemed somewhat incongruous in a one-on-one battle among cultivators. However, Cha-Eun Xiao displayed no hesitation in employing it, executing the martial technique with a degree of finesse that left observers with a singular impression: he excelled in this particular art while lacking proficiency in other martial forms. Such an assumption appeared reasonable, given his lineage traced back to a general's family.…

Cha-Eun Xiao adopted a serious demeanor, addressing the gathered individuals with a measured tone. "Allow us to consider a different approach—one that eschews physical conflict. Instead, we shall engage in dialogue, which poses no threat to our relations. An elderly gentleman such as yourself should not rely on physical strength, and I have noticed that you have been grappling with weakness for some time now. Opting for a verbal combat will ensure that no one can accuse me of taking advantage of your…

Although Cha-Eun Xiao maintained an unyielding countenance, an internal sneer danced within him. As he broached the topic of the Crown Prince's initial actions, he had cunningly alluded to the deceased 'Cha Eun Xiao,' who had fallen victim to poisoning. It seemed as though the Crown Prince was either feigning ignorance or had genuinely misconstrued Cha-Eun Xiao's words. Yet Cha-Eun Xiao harbored no intention of letting the matter rest. Only through exacting retribution for the deceased 'Cha Eun Xiao'…

In the halls of the palace, Lord Cha-Eun Xiao found himself in a conversation that had taken an unexpected turn. The Crown Prince, with a tone that carried both humility and contemplation, admitted, "Lord Cha-Eun Xiao, I must humbly admit that I had not fully grasped the extent of your capabilities." This confession didn't provoke the anger one might have anticipated from Cha-Eun Xiao's bold speech. Instead, it prompted the Crown Prince to let out a sigh, a sigh that hinted at a deeper level of…

Meng Zi-Xiao's life and his journey as a government official had been fraught with obstacles, or so he believed. He harbored a deep-seated conviction that these hurdles were the machinations of Cha Nan-Tian, calculated to make him suffer and thwart his ambitions. In the present moment, as he sat amidst the opulence of the Crown Prince's Palace, Meng Zi-Xiao saw an opportunity for retribution. With Cha-Eun Xiao isolated and seemingly vulnerable, he had seized the moment to redirect the conversation, all…

The individuals assembled in the hall were a group of highly educated individuals, well-versed in the art of conversation. They could engage in lengthy discussions for hours on end without pause. However, when it came to engaging with Cha-Eun Xiao, they found themselves strangely silenced. The atmosphere had grown increasingly uncomfortable, and an air of awkwardness enveloped the gathering. After an uneasy silence, the elderly Guan Zheng-Wen, known for his wisdom, rose from his seat with a warm smile.…

As Cha-Eun Xiao approached the Crown Prince's Palace bearing cucumbers, grapes, and apples, the atmosphere among those present took an unexpected turn. The Crown Prince felt an unusual stiffness creep across his face, thwarting his attempts at a smile. Nevertheless, he managed to force his mouth into a strained grin and uttered, "Please, Lord Cha, do come inside." "Your Highness, you're too formal," Cha-Eun Xiao laughed heartily, though his actions were anything but conventional. Casually, he…
