After a sweet and refreshing afternoon nap, Li Nuo woke up full of energy. He had originally planned to head to the county office, but when he walked into the courtyard, he ran into Song Muer, who said she wanted to go shopping on the street. Li Nuo thought about it and didn’t refuse. Even though he’d been in this world for more than half a month, he’d basically just been going back and forth between the county office and home. His mind had been tightly wound the entire time, and he hadn’t…

Because the Song residence was close to the county office, Li Nuo could afford to sleep in a little longer. When he woke up, the bedding beside him had already been tidied, and his wife was nowhere in sight. Li Nuo was used to this by now. After a quick wash, he set out for the county office with Steward Wu. As they exited the Song residence, he once again passed by the white-haired old man. Chen, the old scholar, had arrived early at the Song residence today. He had spent the entire night…

It was still early—before the end of his shift—when Li Nuo walked out of the county office. The number of daily cases was dwindling. Today, he’d ruled on all of them, but only gained two extra days of lifespan, not even a fraction of what those pampered officials' sons were raking in. It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but hard to go back again. Only a day had passed, and Li Nuo already found himself missing those brats. Steward Wu was waiting in the carriage. When Li Nuo climbed…

Early the next morning, when Li Nuo woke up, the bedding by the side of the bed had already been tidied up, and his wife was nowhere to be seen. He’d slept exceptionally well last night—perhaps the most peaceful and restful sleep he’d had since arriving in this world. For one, Song Qian and her muscular husband weren’t making a ruckus next door. For another, his wife had been right beside him. As he fell asleep, he’d been wrapped in a deep sense of security. Stretching on the bed and…

Seeing that Li Nuo wasn’t interested, Song Yu could only sigh in disappointment and mutter,“That’s really a shame.” On the surface, Zhou Yu looked equally regretful, but deep down, he actually felt relieved. Even though he’d prepared himself for it, the thought of Yuanyang Girl one day lying beneath another man still made his chest ache. At that moment, Li Nuo grew curious and asked,“What kind of woman could make the two of you so obsessed?” After all, both Song Yu and Zhou Yu were…

Just as Li Nuo arrived at the Song residence, he happened to run into Song Mu’er and Song Jiaren, who were just about to head out the door. They had been on their way to the Li residence to look for him. Fortunately, they bumped into him at the entrance—otherwise, they would’ve made a wasted trip. A short while later, in a small courtyard, Song Mu’er lay sprawled on a table, resting her head in her hands as she said,“Brother Li Nuo, you should just live with us. Then none of us would have…

Song Yu was deeply moved—touched and remorseful at the same time. He was touched that his brother-in-law would repay past wrongs with kindness, and he was ashamed of his past behavior. He quickly explained,“I didn’t mean to target you before. It’s just… back then, I really didn’t think you were good enough for Jia Ren. So I may have gone a bit too far. I hope you won’t hold it against me…” Li Nuo could understand Song Yu’s perspective. If it had been his own sister marrying a…

Just as Zhou Yu and the others were still bewildered, a figure strode quickly into the county office. Zhou Yu lit up as if seeing a savior. He rushed forward, grabbed the man’s arm, and cried out,“Father, save me!” He knew how terrifying a staff beating could be—ninety strokes might not kill him, but it would take half his life. The middle-aged man who had just entered glared at him viciously and shook off his hand. Ignoring him, he walked straight to Wang the Constable and said with an…

On the way back to the county office, Li Nuo learned from Butler Wu that among all the detained individuals, only two were at the Second Realm of Martial Arts. The rest were ordinary people with no martial cultivation at all. Looking at the line of people in front of him, Li Nuo muttered with some regret,“Only two at the Inner Breath Realm? Not even one True Qi Realm cultivator?” The lifespan gain from judging martial cultivators was significantly greater than from ordinary folks. He didn’t…

Behind Yunmeng Academy— From the clearing in the small forest came wave after wave of wails. The swagger from earlier had long vanished from Song Yu and his group. They were now darting around with their heads covered, howling in pain. Those rolling pins may have looked like ordinary household tools, but when they landed on you… they really hurt. Clutching his head as he darted around a tree, Song Yu regretted deeply—he never should have listened to his brother-in-law! And that rolling…
