Heir of the Sacred Dragon Sword 30. Death Draws Closer
Furrows deepened on Xiangyu’s brow as she watched the guard check Xiu Zhangjian’s pulse. She was certain that just moments before the Head Guard arrived, the slave had still been smiling at her. Xiu Zhangjian had even seemed as if he were acting. Yet, looking at his condition now, Xiangyu doubted that he was merely pretending. The problem was that what lay before her eyes felt far too real to be an act.Was he merely trying to cover his pain? But why? From the very beginning it looked as if he had deliberately offered his life to Head Guard Chen.The guard straightened, lifting his gaze toward Chen Long. “Master Chen, his pulse is extremely weak.”“What?!” Creases burst across Chen Long’s forehead. He closed the distance between himself and Xiu Zhangjian.Without wasting a breath, Chen Long seized the frail slave’s hand. He nearly gagged, remembering how the hand had been drenched in vomit earlier.Chen Long pressed his fingers against Xiu Zhangjian’s wrist. In an instant his eyes wid
Heir of the Sacred Dragon Sword 29. The Only Truth
To be honest, Xiangyu still could not understand the way Xiu Zhangjian’s mind worked. Was he truly so broken by his fate in the imperial prison of Quzhou that he believed death would be his salvation? Or did that frail slave actually have a way to save himself?Her brows refused to loosen. 'What kind of method does he believe he has, that he would choose to walk into a tiger’s maw rather than hide beneath a generous shade?' she wondered, shaking her head in disbelief.“Take him to my office,” Head Guard Chen Long ordered. He truly believed Xiu Zhangjian had chosen death. Turning sharply, he left at once, abandoning everyone to the thought that this weak slave had finally lost his mind.“Let me help,” Xiangyu said, stepping past Yang Zhi and approaching Xiu Zhangjian. She took the lead, acting before any of the others could.Seeing Xiangyu approach, Yang Zhi swallowed hard. He would never forget how she had warned him earlier not to move the frail slave around carelessly. He had origin

The prisoners did not lift their gaze from the ground, as if piles of gold glittered there.If in life Cao Yunding had been known as a cruel guard without mercy, then his brutality was nothing compared to the savagery of the man glaring at them now.“Head Guard, a prisoner is injured. H he kept vomiting when he was about to temper the iron,” Li Yingying answered, allowing a flicker of relief to slip into the hearts of the others. Moments earlier, every prisoner had feared for their own life. After all, they had taken part in the bullying together. If the Head Guard was in a foul mood, it was entirely possible they would all be killed on the spot.Chen Long frowned and strode toward the youth curled lifelessly on the ground.“You? Why are you here?” He shifted his gaze toward the prisoners crowding around Xiu Zhangjian. “You all, sit this weak slave up.”“Y-yes, Head Guard Chen,” the prisoners replied in unison.With the help of two men who earlier had insulted him relentlessly, Xiu Zh
Heir of the Sacred Dragon Sword 27. What Is Wrong with Zhangjian?
Inside a chamber, one man stood tall, wrapped in authority, while another knelt before him, burdened by humiliation. Yet anger and unrest burned clearly in the eyes of the standing man as he glared at the ragged old figure before him.“Feng Yin, it seems His Majesty Emperor Huang wishes to hear another bedtime story from you.”The man walked forward with arrogant leisure, closing the distance between them. He bent down, bringing his lips near Feng Yin’s ear. “The tale about that fugitive’s corpse was truly fascinating. So I shall escort you to Emperor Huang to tell another one,” he whispered.He straightened himself and turned away, allowing the silence to drag Feng Yin’s mind back to the day he had delivered two corpses to the palace. “You know very well the title of slave does not disappear, not even after death. So disgrace will follow you forever.”The man turned back and stomped hard on the shackles binding Feng Yin’s wrists.“I will personally escort you before His Majesty. Do n

“Look, look, is that not the weak slave?” one prisoner shouted amid the clamor of clashing metal.“Where? Where?” several others responded.“There! He is walking this way!”Every pair of eyes in the Weapon Forge shifted toward the direction indicated. Even the relentless pounding of iron briefly ceased as the prisoners abandoned their tasks for a moment, all just to witness the so called weak slave whose face was rumored to shake the hearts of women.“H-he really is handsome,” a young man muttered, clearly entranced. Realizing how plain his own face was, he suddenly felt painfully hideous.“A foolish and frail man is never attractive. That slave is ugly and disgusting.”The soft yet piercing voice instantly seized everyone’s attention.They all knew exactly who that voice belonged to. Those sharp words flowed from the small, delicate lips of the girl who had become the beloved gem of Quzhou Prison. Although aside from Chen Yufei many male prisoners constantly tried to win her favor, i
Heir of the Sacred Dragon Sword 25. The Foolish Slave
"In the past, after razing Boushan to the ground, Huang Fu and his men stormed the imperial palace. Every member of the royal family was slaughtered by the Gongliao Alliance in the most brutal way imaginable. They were bound together and thrown into a pit, then buried alive. But" Feng Yin suddenly stopped speaking.Xiu Zhangjian glanced around. A guard was approaching, patrolling the area where the prisoners were forced to work. The young man placed a heavy stone upon the mortar that Feng Yin had spread over the uppermost layer of the stone structure.When the guard moved away, Feng Yin continued, "There was one member of the royal family who did not share that grave. The second daughter of the late Emperor Xiang, Princess Shashuang. People say she died during the chaos of battle. They claim her remains were burned along with the loyal soldiers and followers of Emperor Xiang Ming. But one of the leaders of the righteous sects told me it is entirely possible the Princess escaped her fa
