The sudden explosion in the middle of the night alarmed the entire city! Gu Qishao had no idea where it came from when he jumped to his feet, but seeing that the Han Estate was unharmed, he simply laid back down again.

He had never been a curious type, nor did he have the time to spare for frivolous pursuits. Even if all of Tianning’s capital city fell into chaos, or the entire country descended into madness, or Cloud Realm Continent lost all reason, it had nothing to do with him. His childhood reverie had been interrupted, so it was unlikely he’d visit those memories again aside from dreams. He could never allow himself to think of them while he was still conscious.

His pupils reflected the clear, star-filled skies as his world grew still. But after this explosion, all of Tianning Country descended into an unstable crisis! A groggy Han Yunxi was jolted from her sleep and assumed she’d been having nightmares, but when she heard the commotion outside, she realized something major had happened. The explosion was so intense that it rocked all the houses in Tianning capital. Without a doubt, the location of the explosion was someone near the city, perhaps even within the walls themselves.

The explosion at Sky Domain Black Market was enough to alarm the capital, much less one right by their doors. Han Yunxi rushed outside in time to see that the rest of the Han family were all awake as well. Meanwhile, the streets were filled with all sorts of clamor and uproar.

“Xu Donglin! Xu Donglin, come out!” Han Yunxi shouted. She knew there were guards stationed nearby.

As expected, Xu Donglin materialized instantly. “Esteemed wangfei, I hope you didn’t suffer a fright. Shall we go back to the estate? It’s safer there.”

“What’s going on?” Han Yunxi asked instead.

“This subordinate isn’t clear. His Highness ordered us to guard here without budging an inch.” Xu Donglin was clearly spewing lies. His status amongst the guards wasn’t high enough to speak directly with His Highness Duke of Qin!

But Han Yunxi didn’t see through his lies and said anxiously, “This is serious. Hurry back to the Duke of Qin’s estate and see how His Highness is doing. Check to see if there’s explosions there, too.”

Xu Donglin suddenly grew alarmed himself, and ordered a few guards to watch the place while he hurried off.
