“On the ninth day of July in the year 3928 AD, the main lineage of the Li family of Yanzhen was slaughtered. The branches of the family divided up their property.”

"On the 16th day of the eighth month in the year 3928, according to the Dao calendar, Master Wu, the head of the Wu clan in Hancheng, was found dead in his study, with blood pouring from all seven orifices. He had no heir, and with no other branches to inherit, the clan lineage came to an end."

"On the 4th of September, in the year three thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight (of the Dao calendar), Song's eldest son went missing..."

In the White Manor of Langya City, in the study of Bai Pingbo from years past.

Bai Yu Xia sat at her desk, sticking pieces of paper with different information on them to the surface. As she stuck each one down, she read it aloud. Each piece of paper was perfectly aligned and arranged neatly.

Everything in the study was as it had been. No one had used the room since Bai Pingfu's death, until his only son returned.

>

Bailyi still remembered that when he was too short to reach a desk, his father would hold him on the table and joyfully ask him to recite articles. His father would then dip his brush in ink and drink wine, writing with unrestrained strokes, calling it "My son is keeping me company."

After he grew a little older, such incidents became less frequent. His father increasingly emphasized rules and propriety, requiring him to be a model white-collar gentleman.

He knew that in the last moments, his father was disappointed in him.

Because he cast aside the responsibilities bestowed upon him by his family, tossed aside all the rules he had followed throughout his life, and wandered like Xiangqian—

He believed he was just going to find an answer to life, but his father didn't wait for him to come back.

White Jade flaws a piece of paper, as if playing a word game she played as a child.

But those who truly understand Yue Guo will know the weight of these words.

Yanzhen and Hanzhen were both important cities in the Yue Kingdom.

The Li, Wu, and Song clans were all renowned aristocratic families within the Yue kingdom. They ranked only below the Ge and Bai clans as the top echelon.

In the eyes of the arrogant Chu people, only the Ge and Bai families in Yue could be considered prestigious. But Li, Wu, and Song, within the borders of Yue, were also well-known surnames.

These influential families have had a string of incidents, naturally causing people to be apprehensive.

Rumors flew rampant throughout Yue, and people hated Chu but dared not speak out.

Who killed Gao Zheng

Three incense aromas, the building lord of Fenxiang Lou, Luo Sha Ming Yue Jing.

Why would the Rakshasa Moon, normally serene and peaceful, choose to kill Gaozheng

Anyone with eyes can see that it's related to the state of Chu.

Then, with these successive scandals involving high-ranking officials from South Korea, where does the root of this evil lie

Besides the State of Chu, could there be any other party involved

How wicked are the people of Chu!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

In June, Zhongli Yan, an envoy from the State of Chu, recklessly trespassed onto Yinxian Peak, disturbing Gao Zheng who resided there in seclusion. As fate would have it, Gao Zheng's direct disciple, Ge Fei, awoke from his stupor and angrily chased him away.

Ge Fei suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Zhongli Yan, and Yue Ting also imprisoned Dou Mian, the deputy envoy from Chu, to take responsibility. —But in the end, under pressure from the might of Chu, he could only release these two people.

>

The people of Chu were aware they were in the wrong, so outwardly they remained calm. But once they crossed the border, trouble followed frequently, with high-ranking officials and nobles living in fear. Who could say these incidents had nothing to do with the people of Chu

A mighty empire, ruling over the land, resorting to such underhanded tactics! Shameful for a nation of such stature!

Of course, Bai Yu knew about this uproar.

He knows far more than public opinion.

So he was silent in his study.

With the sound of knocking came Wen Juanying's voice, "Xialer, may I come in"

With a casual swipe of her hand, Bai Yu-xia covered the desk with a sheet of pristine white Xuan paper and chuckled softly. "Come in—I remember when I was a child, writing in this study, you never liked to knock."

Wen Juan winked and pushed open the door, entering with a smile. "Wasn't I just looking after your father Men, they always talk about business appointments and work. Once the door closes, it's hours until you see them again! Who knows what they get up to in there This is called a surprise inspection."

Bai Yu's brush glided across the paper, sketching a single branch as she chuckled softly: "My father is known for his integrity and adherence to rules. Your suspicion towards him is unfounded."

"Oh, you know what, when he was young—" Wen Juanying started to say, then stopped and gave him a withering look: "What am I telling you all this for"

Bai Yu was painting, her head still bowed. But she smiled and said, "If you want to tell me about his foolish things when he was young, I'm not against hearing them as his son. You learn from the virtuous, after all."

"You're being rude!" Wen Juan said angrily. "You should say, 'When you see someone who is not virtuous, reflect on yourself!'"

The content inside the > tags is:

"One meaning, you understand."

Wen Juan looked at her son, then at the drawing spread out on his desk—a solitary twig, a lone crow, a few strokes of wind and rain.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

A very lonely painting.

At some point, she had stopped smiling. Bai Yu's lips were also pursed.

Neither the mother nor her son smiled anymore.

"What is pressing down below" Wen Juan Ying asked.

Please note that I only translated the text content within the > tags and left the HTML tags untouched. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Bai Yu's hand stilled, her brush hovering over the paper. "The affairs of the Yue kingdom are not unknown to you."

“My son,” Wen Juanying said, “you should return to Xingyueyuan. A good man sets his sights on the world and shouldn’t stay at home with no prospects.”

"There's no future in Xingyueyuan either. The boss there is stingy and never raises salaries." Bai Yuxia said, "I'd rather stay by your side. When you're happy, the scraps that fall from your fingers are worth more than me toiling away outside."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Wen Juan Ying fell silent for a moment, then said, "Things have been quite chaotic recently. What do you think—"

"It has nothing to do with our family," Bai Yu Xia said. "Those involved are all aristocratic families, those who inherit power and monopolize resources. Our family has long been weathered by storms, we don't hold any weight in Langya City. It wouldn't involve us."

During this period of time at home, Bai Yu Xia didn't do much. She just kept reminding those in the clan who were starting to act arrogant and talk incessantly about reviving the Bai family that they needed to be more humble.

His return to the Bai family made it even more desolate than when he was away.

Wén Juānyīng said, "What does it matter about clans and families It's all the Chǔ people's doing. They are so barbaric and used to being tyrannical; they don't care about your actual situation. Do they even pick a day to kill someone"

"Are you really a man from Chu" Bai Yuxia asked.

Wenjuan's pretty face changed: "Yuxia!"

Yu Bai-xia said: "I racked my brain but couldn't figure it out. Who could Chu State possibly use to counter such a beneath-the-belt tactic Duke An of Wei Duke Huai of Wei They'd bring down their own country if they moved. Qu Shunhua Zuo Guangshu Xiang Bei Heh, based on my understanding of them, even if they had fallen far, they wouldn't stoop to this level."

“The State of Chu is so vast, it’s bound to have corrupt officials and dissolute elements. My son speaks of heroes, but you haven't seen that bear of a man” Wen Juanying said, “Someone like Gu Chi, what kind of filthy deeds wouldn't he do”

"Mother," Bai YuXia said with a complex tone, "You are truly a member of the royal family!"

Wen Juan'ying originally had many more things to say, but hearing her son's sigh, she couldn't help but lower her eyelids: "Your mother is surnamed Wen, your father and your mother are both from Yue. My son, you are also from Yue. Born here, raised here."

Bai Yu hesitated for a moment, then lifted the just-finished painting to reveal a stack of densely packed papers on her desk. She pointed at the text and said, "The Li family of Yancheng claim they are a branch family who divided their wealth among themselves, consisting mostly of gold, silver, and miscellaneous objects. But where did the authority go Where are the promotion channels They were all absorbed by the state. The Wu family of Hancheng say that their branch lineage is broken, leaving behind a vast family business, wealth, titles, and honor. Why wouldn't the collateral branches want to inherit They weren't allowed to. That's why they are extinct—"

"That's enough," Wen Juan interrupted.

But Bai Yu's flaw refused to stop: "Our emperor is a man of great talent and vision, he has made up his mind to cut out the festering sore. My father was lucky to die early; if he had lived longer, he would have inevitably been struck."

"That's enough..." Wen Juan's voice was almost a plea.

White Jade Xias continued, "Since the Emperor has such determination, he himself cannot avoid bloodshed. The Wen clan's imperial lineage has branched out for so many years, and it will soon be pruned—this is not to mention that the King of Min has been found guilty and reprimanded, his fiefdom is doomed to be lost. If he is not wise enough, his head may not be safe."

“Bai Yu-xia, what are you trying to do” Wen Juan-ying’s voice was sharp as she cried out. Her tone softened, but tears welled in her eyes. “What are you trying to do Don't you know that if these words get out, you will instantly become a traitor Your father, your grandfather, the reputation of your entire Bai family lineage—all of it will be ruined—what are you trying to do”

White Jade's flaws was very calm: "My grandfather dedicated his life to the country, giving his last drop of blood on the battlefield. My father loved and cherished his reputation throughout his life, adhering to moral principles. Our ancestors of the Bai family have never failed the country. Why can't we keep their honor Is it because I speak the truth"

Wen Juan looked at him with sadness: "Once public opinion surges, anyone who tries to stand in its way will be crushed. What does the truth matter Where is the importance of evidence People don't care about the truth, they just need to vent their emotions - you understand this better than me, don't you Even a woman like me knows that."

Bai Yu Xia said: “People say that a multitude of voices can wear down gold and destroy bones. But I think, what can be tarnished by slanderous words is not true gold. What can be brought down by rumors is not a strong bone.”

"What does this have to do with us Mother, I don't understand. Yu Xia, they said it was the Chu people who did this, so let them just be. The Chu state is powerful and domineering, no wonder many things are blamed on them.” Wen Juan Ying took a step forward: “Don’t say these things anymore."

>

"Rest assured, I'm only telling you this now." Bai Yu Xia smiled. "Besides, this is what the Yue Kingdom needs, right The emperor wants a thorough reform, he wants everyone united, he wants to control public opinion - Mother, I understand."

What Li, Wu, and Song There's nothing he wouldn't understand. I'm not close to them, but speaking of it, these are matters concerning the Wenjing Xius household. The only thing he couldn't understand happened a long time ago and has nothing to do with today.

>

Wen Juan wiped away her tears, looked lovingly at the room one last time, and walked to the desk. “Yu Xia,” she said softly, “Mother has made up her mind. Let’s go to Xingyueyuan together, just the two of us.”

"Master Bai, you're speaking in riddles. What about Uncle Zhang and Aunt Deng My uncles and aunts, my cousins, all those relatives... what about them"

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Never mind. They are all adults, they are responsible for themselves.” Wen Juan Ying said: “Your father is gone, and you have no heart for the family business. Your mother is struggling to hold it together. It’s better to divide the family business among them. I’ll take some personal belongings with me and go with you to live elsewhere, away from trouble.”

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Bai Yu Xia, of course, knew this was the result long ago. It was because he used the turmoil within the Yue country to pressure his own mother into making this choice.

Her hometown was hard to leave, her family business was large, and Wen Juanying herself bore the surname Wen... If he hadn't deliberately shown a hint of danger, he knew his mother would never agree to go.

“You can't just bring some personal belongings.” Bai Yu XIA smiled. “Things like yuan stones, not even one can be left behind. You expect your son's meager wages to support him in his old age That's a bit far-fetched.”

Since she had already decided to leave, Wen Juan Ying's worries suddenly lifted. She patted her son and said: "Wasteful!"

Bai Yu Xia smiled and pleaded, pushing her mother towards the door: "Mother, go pack your things. I'll arrange a vehicle right now to send you to Xingyue Yuan."

The door to the study closed.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

The master of the study left the room, and would forever relinquish it.

The spring rain, the summer rain, the autumn rain, throughout the entire Daoli period of three years and nine months, it seemed as if the country of Yue was always under rain.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

A sudden downpour tapped at the window, bringing a touch of dampness. At last, there was a wisp of autumn wind, slipping through the gaps in the net and into the study.

The piece of paper stuck to the table, like it was printed onto the surface itself, remained motionless.

The sheet of xuan paper on which Bai Yu's impromptu painting was captured, nearly fluttered away with the wind, but held down by the paperweight, most of it rolled up, yet one corner remained pinned to the table.

At this moment, it fluttered in the autumn wind. On the back of the painting, two lines could be seen:

"Wind and rain lash, wind and rain lash. Thick quilts curl to embrace the ailing bones, lone branches shelter thin crows shivering in the cold."

Tap tap tap.

The sound of hooves and the drumming of rain on the roof, like a concerto. The former was soothing, the latter urgent.

“I said, this rain is really annoying, just cut it to pieces,” he said listlessly, sitting in the front with his eyes half-closed against the car door.

Bailing beside her, couldn't help but say angrily: “Can't you cut it yourself”

She glanced at him listlessly, too lazy to say why.

White Jade Defect reluctantly maintained her patience: "Sunrise and sunset, rain and wind, are all natural phenomena. Although we practitioners can change celestial phenomena, it is somewhat disruptive and not good for the environment..."

“Alright.” Xiang Qian was too lazy to listen any further, just saying, “Let’s go.”

Bai Yu-xia entrusted, "My mother has no cultivation and can't bear the bumps. You drive slowly and don't be in a hurry. I will catch up after I'm done."

From Yue Guo to Star Moon Plain, if you travel at a leisurely pace, it would take three or five months.

My head hurt a lot, but I just grunted in response.

"Don't tell anyone else about this," Bai YuXia emphasized again.

The fish-eye staring straight ahead was unmoved. “It’s a hassle to go around in circles. Just tell me you don’t want me to tell Jiang Wang,”

Bai Yu Xia said: "He's such a worrisome person, if he knew, he'd come over to pick us up himself—are alien caves really that easy to kill in Isn't every battleground for different species full of desperate struggles This little thing is best left alone. We'll gather and go to Xingyueyuan together, and then we'll tell him."

Nod by closing and opening one's eyelids.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Bai Yu Xia raised her voice and said to Wen Juan Ying in the carriage, "Mother, it's windy outside. Don't open the window, so you won't catch a cold. If you have anything, just tell Qian Xiang directly. He is my good brother, he might be lazy, but he's reliable."

"To the front as well, try to make your voice and spirit a little more energetic: "Auntie, if you have anything, just tell me!"

"You've worked hard, Xiao Xiang. It's been a hassle for you to make this trip." Wen Juan Ying's voice echoed in the train carriage, tinged with an unavoidable sense of homesickness.

"It's nothing, aunt. My only advantage is that my legs are quick. These years have been spent on the road—" He finished all his polite greetings for this year and said: "You tell Jade Imperfections, he's about to leave."

Wen Juan's voice continued, "Yu Xia. Zhang Shu and Deng Gu have dedicated most of their lives to the Bai family. We must not disappoint them. And your sixth aunt, she hasn't had it easy..."

"Don't worry about these family matters, I'll take care of everything. I'll divide the property fairly so that everyone is satisfied. Rest assured!" Bai Yu Xia reassured her. "You just need to get a good night's sleep, eat and drink well. Once this property is divided cleanly and all necessary arrangements are made, I'll catch up with you."

"Alas." Wen Juan Ying had a lot to say, but it all came out as a sigh.

Tick, tick, tick.

Bai Yu Xia disappeared into the rain.
