"Human life is brief...yet their culture and knowledge continue to flourish. This is because they pass down their wisdom through these bamboo slips, allowing them to understand the world without leaving home. In contrast, both the Dragon and Azure Phoenix clans...believe they have enough time to learn everything through experience...However...precious things, if not recorded, will inevitably be forgotten.”

"Gu Fuyou buried her face in her hands, resenting Qing Jun, 'She really thought everything through for us.' Zhong Michu replied, 'She considers our position as juniors, and tries to plan everything meticulously. She wants everything to be perfect and leaves no detail unchecked. She has put a lot of thought into it.'..Gu Fuyou looked up and exclaimed, 'I was being sarcastic!'" LOL

"Zhong Michu frowned, not wanting Gu Fuyou to meet Qing Zhe and Di Jun alone. 'I’ll go with you.' 'The old clan leader said, only the lady.' Just then, Jiu Yao came out and joked, 'A wife meeting her in-laws shouldn’t be this nerve-wracking.'"
LOL, Jiu Yao knows what's up!

Ah, so glad there were a few extra chapters inserted here from Zhong Michu's perspective, so we can see what happened after...the thing that separated them. Really sad, of course, but good to see!

"Seeing Gengchen again, she realized what her spirit sword was missing – liveliness. She muttered, 'Spirit swords are sentient, but Yinhen is like a dead thing.' Zhong Michu...understood the key point. The spirit of a spirit sword changes with the emotions of its owner. It wasn’t that Yinhen was lifeless, but rather that it mirrored Gu Fuyou’s gloomy heart."
oof

OK, it is good that the author is acknowledging how villainish the MC's battle tactics are getting (even if the Zuo family DEFINITELY needs to be taken down)! But I wonder where exactly we go from here...

"Twenty-Three quickly denied any reluctance, saying, 'I’m a slave, I’m not worthy…' This was the longest sentence she had ever spoken to Gu Fuyou. Gu Fuyou, with her arms crossed, firmly said, 'There’s no such thing as being unworthy. When an opportunity presents itself, you must seize it. To ignore it when it’s right in front of you is foolish.'"

"The next day, four more slave masters were found dead. Zuo Peixian, increasingly alarmed, struggled to find any clues. It was as if the masters had quietly died in their chambers, their names suddenly crossed off by the King of Hell."

I kinda wanna cheer...but I'm also worried about Gu Fuyou going a little TOO Danny Targaryan.

"Gu Fuyou stared at her, speechless, then realized with mixed emotions, 'So it was you...You didn’t tell me, just watched the show unfold.' Zhong Michu replied, 'You never asked me.' 'How could I have thought to ask you…' Zhong Michu, with a slight sigh, 'Because you don’t believe I would protect what you care about.'"
I mean, this is the third thing ZM's been found to have protected - come on, GF!

"The little girl had already climb down from Ah Fu and called out, 'Mother.' Zhong Michu turned and gestured to her, saying, 'Yi’er.... 'You call her Yi’er?' 'It’s her nickname...Don’t you like it?' Because some pains and regrets are so deeply embedded in the heart, they can never be fully healed. Even just sharing a name can fill some of the emptiness...'I like it,' Gu Fuyou’s voice was hoarse with emotion."
AAAH!
