But for so reason, these days, the old man feels that the taste of these peanuts and monkey wine has changed; it’s not as good as it used to be..."
"Back then, it seed ordinary, but clearly, the senior has deep feelings for Xiehe."
Hearing the Old Master say this, Tang Luo also sighed: "Perhaps the senior likes to stay at the Peak of Dragon Valley not only because of its tranquility and undisturbed peace but also because from there, one can clearly see the worldly fireworks of Longzhou."
"Worldly fireworks, huh?"
The Old Master pondered, gazed at the boundless starry sky outside the boundary, nodded, and said: "Yes, the magnificent galaxy is beautiful indeed, but too lonely; Xiehe is still better."

Red Cloud Mountain, Yunluo Garden
With five black strands of hair tied into two buns, a little girl of about five or six with big, spirited eyes tilted her head, her face full of childlike charm, spread her arms, and stood charmingly on the bed.
And standing beside the bed was Yun Xiu, who fondly chided: "Qianqian is already a big girl, still needing your mother to help you dress."
Although she said this, Yun Xiu ticulously combed Qianqian’s hair and softly admonished: "After you start school, you must listen to your instructor, cannot throw tantrums, and especially rember not to bully your classmates."
The little girl, who just now appeared as soft as dough, was unhappy upon hearing this, revealing a pair of small tiger teeth, raising her chubby little fists, and said in a childlike yet firm voice: "They say daddy is a star, and that daddy can’t gain weight, I’ll beat them!"
Children all need playmates, and a child’s unbridled vanity makes them unaware of the harm they may cause others.
For those children, the most worthy of boasting is the love their parents have for them.
For example, bragging about what delicious food their mother made for them or where their father took them to play.
So even boast about their parents’ official positions, like how their father is a station chief, which is particularly impressive.
For Little Qianqian, lacking soone to boast about makes her a genuine social underdog.
Fortunately, she has other advantages, naly her formidable "strength."
Whether due to inheritance or talent, these chubby little fists often made several peers and even boys a year older scream and shout.
Hence, Yun Xiu needed to particularly advise her daughter in this regard, but evidently, Tang Qianqian had her clear understanding regarding whether fighting counts as bullying.

Tian Nan, Yan Fu City
People need space to survive.
To live well, they need more resources.
Where do resources co from? They can be obtained through labor creation or seized through the sword.
As for which path to choose, it depends on the kind of education the organization leader has received.
The Imperial Sword Alliance, a power rising from a small seaside town, was initially not called this. However, with more forces joining, it eventually adopted this na.
According to the old mbers of the alliance, it all started when a one-ard young man acquired an incredible swordsmanship inheritance, supported a widow, and unified over a dozen fishing villages and towns along the shore.
A widow serving as the leader of a force naturally attracted much criticism, yet it also allowed for delicate details.
For instance, within this force, won were not regarded as n’s property but undertook logistical work, and even practiced swordsmanship alongside n.
Encouraged by the leader, so won even cast aside traditional gender concepts and beca as uninhibited as wild people in primitive tribes of Beimang.
This structure and behavior indeed displeased many people in Tian Nan, but it also beca a point of pride for many rebellious individuals who joined the Imperial Sword Alliance.
An organization led by a woman could, in so ways, be quite frightening, with its close-knit group atmosphere and stubborn loyalty to its own mbers.
Quickly, the Imperial Sword Alliance beca an evil heretical organization, expanding brutally in Yan Fu.
It was intolerable for others to peacefully sleep beside them, so naturally, the major forces in Yan Fu City were unhappy with this new and unknown force, whether to persuade them or to suppress them by force.
In whatever manner, they all returned defeated, and what frightened most was when a conflict with the Imperial Sword Alliance led to the accidental killing of a direct descendant of the Yan Family, inciting the wrath of the Ancestor of the Yan Family.
A Grandmaster-level expert exited seclusion intending to annihilate the Imperial Sword Alliance but was blocked and seriously injured.
This shocked the entire Yan Fu City, with many acquaintances coming to inquire about the incident, but the Ancestor of the Yan Family refused to see anyone, even those few old friends who did see him couldn’t see beyond the sharp sword wounds on his spiritual body and his deeply concealed expression.
Since that incident, none of the major forces in Yan Fu City wanted to provoke the Imperial Sword Alliance anymore. Fortunately, the Imperial Sword Alliance wasn’t a cruel or tyrannical organization.
Though everyone in the organization practiced sword training, none had any intention of initiating attacks or bullying in the market.
In fact, most swordsn in the organization also worked part-ti as fishern, peddlers, or boatn to make ends et.
And for an organization with such self-control, it was inseparable from its spiritual leader.
The spiritual leader of the Imperial Sword Alliance was a charming, amorous man with peach blossom eyes—Xu Lao Ying.
Currently, the leader of the Sword Alliance was bidding farewell to a woman whose eyes were full of longing.
Despite nurous feminine encounters, Xu Lao Ying still dared not gaze too long into Zhen Ping’er’s eyes full of longing, appearing as innocent as a novice.
