To be fair, I always knew he was an idiot. Well, it would be more accurate to say that I knew he was the kind of guy who was an idiot around girls. Honestly, I found it kind of sweet in an awkward sort of way, which is part of the reason I have ended up here. Lying on the concrete looking up at the night sky, light pollution having washed away the stars, and rather dispassionately noticing that I was feeling cold as my blood pooled under me. My boyfriend - we had definitely been dating…-

Shen Yue watched from the crowd as Murong Yu stumbled off towards the East District, the poor bastard that had his legs broken was still screaming in pain. A compound fracture will do that, with the bone sticking out of the skin, there was no position that would lessen the pain. While everyone was discussing who was brave enough to go against a genius from the East District, Shen Yue was wondering if he had successfully framed Long Tianming. Although he was not afraid of any retribution from Murong Yu or…-

Murong Yu awoke to an uncomfortable feeling in his groin. The Ghastly Ruins was an apocalyptic setting, there was a distinct lack of fresh green grass. So when a man is staked face down on the ground, all there is to comfort is genitals was course rocky terrain. The constant ill wind and crumbling ruined walls guaranteeing that not even sand was left to lessen the painful experience. He tried to move his arms in an attempt to push himself up and inspect the weird situation he found himself in, only to…

Murong Yu's mind shut down for a few seconds as it tried to process what he just heard. Rent boy? Lick dirty arseholes? What the hell is happening? Do these trash think I am a male prostitute? So many questions overloaded his brain, causing him to gape like a fish out of water. Finally, Murong Yu came to the conclusion that they were insulting him! "How dare you! No one has been brave enough to disrespect me in years!" "What disrespect, I only spoke the truth! How else would a supposed genius like…

Coincidently, Shen Yue had planned his excursion into the Ghastly Ruins the same day that Murong Yu was also harvesting ghouls. It seems that Murong Yu was planning to rob anyone that had a goodly amount of soul scales, not just the attention seeker Nie Li. But why had he chosen to loot Shen Yue's minions? Sure, they were working together quite efficiently, but it was not like teaming up was a new concept! In the novel, even Hua Ling managed to coordinate a group to meet up and harass Nie Li, let alone…

Thanks to access to Hua Ling's mind through the slave seal, Shen Yue was well aware of the Ling Jade Deity Lake's situation. It was a low-grade Deity's Lake that was on the verge of drying up. Initially, it'd be impossible for people with Hua Ling's power to gain control of an entire Deity's Lake. The only reason why Hua Ling could occupy it was because it produced too few spiritual stones to be worth wasting manpower on to the real movers and shakers of the Sect. Of course, this didn't bother Shen Yue at…

The next day, the morning had come and gone, but the Elders that were targeted with the potent sedatives were still sleeping. Since there was no set duty for Clan Elders, they were free to do as they pleased as long as they looked after the Clan's interest. Six Elders sleeping in was overlooked, especially since they had complained to their servants of feeling overly tired. It wasn't until Gu Heng's attendant went to check on him that the alarm was raised. He was greeted by the sight of his young master…

It only took three days for Gu Bei to enslave five servants that were on the list of Gu Heng's trusted subordinates that had access to the kitchens. There was not just one central kitchen that supplied the entire Clan, but ten different ones with varying levels of security depending on who they served food to. Luckily, one of the servants that Gu Bei managed to capture had access to three elders. Although he would not be able to poison everyone not allied to Gu Heng, three elders, their families and…

"At the moment, you and your brother are entirely out of the race of succession, Gu Heng is locked in to win. Since you have no wish to stay in a Clan that will be aligned against you, I suggest taking as many resources from it as possible before cutting ties with a legitimate reason. Slapping their face by publically denouncing the Clan is one thing, they might try to cut off your future paths of cultivation, but they will be restrained by the Sect rules. However, if you start a war and damage the Sect's…

An awkward silence soon ensured after Gu Bei left to buy the herbs necessary for the cure. Shen Yue silently observed Gu Lan from the side. Pretending to be a servant would mitigate any scrutiny, but it also didn't allow him any chance to probe the guests for information. Gu Lan looked roughly eighteen or nineteen years old, and if she hadn't been sick for so many years, she would have definitely been a beauty. He was just about to command Hua Ling to say something when she suddenly spoke. "Thank you,…
