Editor: Henyee Translations
The Jiang family had spiraled into chaos over the past few days, especially the mother, resorting to random acts of aggression, such as biting people. Their typically arrogant and unreasonable behavior had become more pronounced.
It wasn’t unusual for them to create a commotion, but this time, Jiang Caixiu’s mother seemed unlikely to gain any advantages. In the past, the county magistrate had favored the Yan family, but now that Jiang Caixiu had offended the magistrate and his mother had offended Yan Danqiu, their prospects seemed grim. Unless they achieved scholarly honors, they would likely be at the mercy of others.
The villagers, however, were indifferent. The decline of the Jiang family was inconsequential, as the Yan family now held sway. Both families were formidable entities, not to be crossed.
Yet, if they had to choose, the villagers preferred Yan Danqiu’s family. They appreciated their good-natured demeanor, fair treatment, and generosity. Yan Danqiu’s family members rarely bullied others and often needed assistance, compensating generously for services rendered.
Observing the contrasting nature of the two families, the villagers were content.
In the afternoon, Gu Chaoyan returned from the court in Tian Qi’s wagon. Tian Qi, anticipating their arrival, was ready to pick them up.
While Gu Chaoyan had returned, Jiang Caixiu’s mother had not. The two of them were confined in the government office, providing each other company.
Still.
Jiang Caixiu’s future was completely gone.
With her return, everyone in the Yan family felt at ease.
Just as everything was settled, the Yan family’s matters gradually came to an order of their own.
Gu Chaoyan’s task was also completed.
Seeing the harmonious and orderly Yan Family, Gu Chaoyan looked very pleased.
Auntie Lianhua would help them.
At other times, with Tian Qi and the others around, there would probably not be any mistakes.
As long as Danxia and Dandong applied themselves, their efforts promised a prosperous future for both of them and Ms. Wang.
Gu Chaoyan gazed longingly at the Yan Family compound. This place, where missions could be accomplished without relying on spiritual energy, felt like a homecoming. Occasionally, thoughts crossed her mind, suggesting that staying here could bring profound contentment to her otherwise tumultuous life.
Yet, the reality called for her departure. Gu Chaoyan recognized that she couldn’t linger any longer. Before bidding farewell, she spent an additional day observing the Yan Family’s routines, finding solace in the simplicity of their lives.
Content, she left.
Returning to the Chaotic Space for further tempering, Gu Chaoyan noticed the missions becoming increasingly facile. However, the tempering process itself grew more uncomfortable. Initially, the heat was intense, resembling a warming fire that made her whole body endure. As time passed, the sensation transformed; the tempering no longer intensified warmth but ushered in a pervasive coldness, as if she was finding a passage to exit a world enveloped in ice and snow.
The duration of tempering stretched longer.
Despite Gu Chaoyan’s growing discomfort, the Chaotic Space seemed pleased with the progress. Everything flowed smoothly, and her success rate soared.
This time…
Her breakthrough proceeded seamlessly, and she sensed an imminent understanding of a new skill.
The prospect of acquiring a new skill held significant promise for enhancing her cultivation.
She should soon return to the place that truly belonged to her, the place she had arrived at but then left.
The Chaotic Space was a little excited.
