Daoist Master of Qing Xuan Chapter 580 – A Heng
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lei Jing had predicted this as previously there were already rumors about this matter. However, the fact that uncle ordered Guan Longzi to be there right after he finished explaining Lianshanyi to her was something she could not comprehend.
She accepted the decree with respect. Immediately after she felt the abstruse Qi had descended on her. If she had not obtained the Xuanmen’s essence from Shen Lian and developed the treasure of her own bloodline, it would be hard for her to detect the Qi.
As she was aware of some of the essence of Lianshanyi, she knew this Qi was the Qi of dragon. The Qi of dragon was not unique to men. It was tied to the fate of a country as Guan Longzi had said to her before. If the ruler of a country had an exuberant Qi of Dragon, Qi cultivators would not attempt to kill him because of the repercussion.
This sort of repercussion even if it did not cause any harm to the Qi cultivators, it would cause harm to people who were related to him by karma. For the Qi cultivators who were seeking the path of celestials and freedom, they naturally would not do such a thing.
However, if the Qi cultivators knew about the laws of heaven, they did not need to handle the rulers by themselves. The higher the cultivation level, the less frequent one needed to kill anyone with his own hands. One reason was to avoid troubles, another reason was that one took into account the countless revenge that would follow suit. With just some planning, one could simply have a scapegoat.
“Is the king free? Can I meet him?” Si Jing’s clear eyes gazed at the eunuch and it sent chills down his spine. It was not the first time he met noblewoman Jing. This time around, other than her polished behavior, she seemed to be more unpredictable and that made him fear.
The eunuch said, “Princess, the king said that after you accept the decree, you have to leave for the nominated country immediately.”
Si Jing’s eyebrows furrowed, “Did the king mention about Guan Longzi?”

The eunuch replied, “King mentioned that Guan Longzi can be released from the jail and he will regain his position as the Prefect Grand Astrologer.”
Si Jing let out a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good.”
The eunuch said, “The guards of honor are outside on standby, princess. Please get going.”
Si Jing nodded and she turned to look at Guan Longzi. He smiled at her and cupped his hands. Si Jing then followed the servants out of the jail.
However, when she was on her way out, she still felt hanging as if it was the last time she was going to see Guan Longzi.
When Si Jing was outside, the guards of honor were all ready and her servant A Heng was a part of the guards of honor. There were six horses for Lei Jing’s cart. They were all white, except for their hooves which were black.
This type of horse was not of the pegasus strain which could fly but it could travel up to thirty thousand miles in a day. It was also known as walking swallow.
The emperor rode on eight horses and Lei Jing had six. One could obviously tell Emperor Xia’s liking towards her because of the status. Furthermore, she was granted the surname Si and with a country nominated to her. It was natural for anyone to call her princess.
Emperor Xia had no daughter and hence, she, as a princess got such unique treatment.
On the cart, other than Si Jing’s usual servants, there was only one other person, A Heng. A Heng looked like he was less than thirty-year-old. He had a common face but his friendliness could make people ignore the status difference and just focus on the conversations with him.
A Heng had no teacher but he knew a lot of principles. He was rather famous in Diqiu. For a nobleman like Lei Nuo, he too was willing to befriend of equal status with him.
Youshen kingdom was not far away, it was at the north of Mount Meng and it was considered as part of Eastern Barbarians.
By the time they reached Youshen kingdom’s border, the cart slowed down. It probably was Lei Jing’s intention. She wanted to observe the country that was nominated to her.

A Heng was too paying attention to the scenery outside. He exclaimed, “Monarch, this is a good place. If I were to describe Eastern Barbarian as a dragon, Youshen Kingdom is located at the dragon head where there are countless spiritual opportunities blooming. As long as it is set up the right way where we hold the geographical advantage, we can control the trades of Eastern Barbarian’s tribes with other places and bring in lots of wealth.” Everyone else called Si Jing as noblewoman or princess but A Heng called her as monarch. This was not by chance. With wartime ahead, good animals would choose the tree they wanted to lean on, same for people who would choose the right leader. In A Heng’s eyes, there was no other leader which was more suitable for him than Lei Jing.
Si Jing replied, “Even if I am as rich as my uncle, it doesn’t mean too much to me. A Heng, I know you’re interested in running a country. I can leave all the governing matters to you.”
A Heng spoke seriously, “Monarch, I know you’re a cultivator and hence you’re not too concerned with worldly matters. I think you probably think this is affecting your cultivation.”
Si Jing replied, “Is that not the case? If you feel that every moment the secret of life is waving at you and the abstruseness of the world is summoning you, asking you to discover it further, you will feel that wasting your time on world matters is a waste of life.” When she said that, she thought about her teacher.
A Heng smiled, “What monarch is saying is perhaps not the truth. If you’re focusing on cultivation, you wouldn’t say such a thing. The real cultivation can’t be forced. The abstruseness in the world is usually hidden within these small matters. Just like the wind will gather at the duckweed before it begins blowing and how by a piece of leaf falling that you will then be aware of autumn. These insignificant matters are often the representation of the abstruseness of the world. Furthermore, monarch, are you aware that you have obtained the opportunity where every cultivator in the world will wish to have? If you focus on the matters that you don’t even care about, you can achieve cultivation success just like the founder, Wenming.” He spoke fluently.
Most people would think he was bluffing with what he just said but Lei Jing knew how different A Heng was. Lianshanyi was considered difficult but everytime Si Jing had a question and sought out help from A Heng, he could always explain to her in a clear and easy manner. Sometimes, he would even explain with a different understanding from Guan Longzi. He too could form his own understanding that touched on the basis of the profoundness of Dao. At times, when she listened to A Heng, she felt as if her teacher was next to her.
Si Jing said, “Just say it if there’s anything.”
A Heng gazed at Si Jing, his eyes as deep and mysterious as the starry night. He spoke, “Monarch, I’m sure you’ve heard the rumor that the heavenly fate determines that Yin Shang will replace Xia.”
Si Jing let out a sigh, “Even though uncle has defeated the Eastern Barbarian coalition, the situation at the Great Xia is still not positive. Guan Longzi too told me to not be involved in such matters.”
A Heng smiled, “I understand Guan Longzi’s intention. That’s because he thinks that the heavenly fate where Yin Shang will replace Xia can’t be changed and hence, he advised against it. However, monarch, the thing you don’t understand is, power can shift. The heavenly fate where Yin Shang will replace Xia isn’t something that can’t be changed because heavenly fate is just the shift in power. The shift mainly came from Tianyi’s operating effort, especially ever since Eastern Barbarian’s Yun Yang lost, there isn’t any other country that can unify the underworld and hence, the rumor is rooted deep in people’s hearts.”
He stopped for a while and said, “Emperor Xia will not let you have it as you please. In addition, in this day and age, in terms of brilliance and decisiveness, there is nobody as good as Emperor Xia. As such, monarch, you have an unprecedented opportunity ahead.”

With her fourth-wall breaking, Ootsuki Senka has had her life dedicated to becoming the straight girl in this dimension-traveling duo.

Warning: This will have tons of mindless funny gory killing and lots of potentially disturbing casual sex. Updating Schedule: On Hiatus.

8 183Delicate as Glass
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Nuri, an [Assistant Glassworker], only has a single Skill. It’s really not fair. He’s worked in the hot shop his entire life, following in his father’s footsteps after his parents passed away, but he’s stuck. Despite possessing above-average talent as an artisan, he still hasn’t shed his [Assistant] status, gained a second Skill, or even leveled enough to reach the first Threshold. Besides, he’s bored; most days he daydreams of adventure and becoming a hero, or pines for the renown that’s sure to be his if he evolves his Class into a [Master Glass Smith], but nothing ever changes—until suddenly, fate strikes, and nothing is ever the same again. These days, Nuri sees more magic, prestige, and adventure than he can handle as he gets swept up in realm-shaking conspiracies and desperate fights for his life. Maybe a boring life wasn’t so bad after all. Disclaimers: 1) Names were mostly chosen through random generators and aren’t necessarily final. If they seem derivative or boring, blame RNG. 2) Skills, Classes, levels, and the entire system is currently a work in progress; please be kind if it’s not very well fleshed out yet. 3) This is the first full-length novel I've set out to write without a single plot point ready. I had nothing in mind other than a recent visit to a hot shop. Molten glass is pretty awesome. 4) Related, I know much less about glass than I’d like. I did some research, but mistakes are bound to happen. If you have a correction, thanks! Please be polite about it. 5) The prose is my experimental attempt at first-person, present tense. I realize it may not be everyone’s preference, but I hope you’ll give it a try anyway!
8 297Hiraeth | Regulus Black
The Avery family were one of the few truly pureblood wizarding families left in society. They took pride in a long line of thoroughly talented witches and wizards who all bore the proud status as not only pureblood, but also Slytherins. Lucas Avery was perhaps the most prominent Avery. The boy who befriended Tom Riddle and was part of the Slug Club during his time at Hogwarts. One of the first Death Eaters, he showed tremendous loyalty towards his friend and master Lord Voldemort during his first rise to power. Not only was Lucas active in his duties, he also raised two children to carry his respect into the next generation. One of his children did this with great dignity and honour... Whilst the other did not. Esmeralda (Esme) Avery never truly fit in anywhere. No matter how hard she tried. This case of isolation is perhaps what led Esme to rebel so fearlessly against what was expected against her. Then, in her sixth year at Hogwarts, she did something extraordinary. Not only was this one last desperate escape from the traumatic woes facing her at home, it also cemented her future. One fateful evening would lead Esme not only on a path of discovery but also fear and heartache. Are there any other kind of stories during Voldemort's first rise to power?
