One”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Wang shuffled his feet, striving to suppress his restless mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to, and could only, believe in Dong Ah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the restlessness in Tongtian Palace, he strained to maintain his calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to the inner gate dormitory to greet the solitary Ling He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite repeatedly urging caution, he did not know what specific dangers to advise him against.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling He noticed something was off with him, but didn’t overthink it, assuming it was the succession of disciples’ deaths that was unnerving him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He counseled Jiang Wang not to worry too much and suggested that he would not take on any tasks for a while, advising Jiang Wang to go home and rest for a few days to prepare for the New Year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he patted Jiang Wang on the shoulder, saying with a smile, “The tiger will be back soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s drink together!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the New Year!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That indeed made Jiang Wang smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing more beautiful than reunion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s drink together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Wang left the dormitory, intending to go home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, he did not leave through the back door; instead, he took the front exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to take a detour to pass by Zhao Rucheng’s home and have a word with Ru Cheng before returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just because of the unease in his heart that he wanted to talk to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, he had nothing specific to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was nothing more than the usual reminders about safety and avoiding danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since he was not clear about where the danger would come from, naturally, he did not know how to avoid it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the New Year approaching, most of the Dao institute’s disciples were still engaged in arduous cultivation or on tasks to hone themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not many people were on the institute’s paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those few who were present all had an uplifting aura, full of vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like Fenglin City’s Dao institute, bustling and rising, with an unlimited future filled with brightness and possibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Dong Ah had built a solid foundation for Fenglin City’s Dao institute, then Zhu Weiwo had become a fluttering flag for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Already, a good number of promising cultivation talents had expressed the desire to come here to practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given time, the achievements of Fenglin City’s Dao institute were boundless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at their smiling faces, feeling their vigor, Jiang Wang suddenly found himself ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What am I fearing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet there was no answer, only the flickering dance of the black candle, growing more frenzied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star-Winding Serpent had already coiled itself into the shape of a pancake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of the statue of the Dao Ancestor, Jiang Wang sat down on the stone steps, forcefully resisting his shiver as he silently sorted out his Dao heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a secluded small courtyard within the Wang clan’s lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ivy had already receded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sunshine scattered in, and the courtyard door was slightly ajar, as tranquil as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Full of excitement, Wang Changxiang approached, but he slowed his pace when he reached the entry, gathering his emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This year’s new entrants to the county academy did not shine particularly brightly when he and Li Jianqiu first enrolled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as their studies progressed, they gradually found their stride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they were both within the top ten of the new students at the county academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he wouldn’t stop there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even had the confidence to pass the next Three Counties comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The future was good, full of hope,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what made him happier was the reason he hurried back to his clan today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, he had completed a highly difficult task at the county academy and was thus awarded a vial of secret medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This medicine was said to expand the Tongtian Palace and also had an effect on clearing the Dao channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A secret medicine capable of expanding the Tongtian Palace was naturally of great use to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Wang Changxiang, the ability to “clear the Dao channels” was the reason he had risked his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t even be sure if the medicine would be effective on Wang Changji; he had asked his teachers at the academy, but all they said was that there was a possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just a “possibility” was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was wonderful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because in the days past, after examinations by various others, the conclusion drawn about Wang Changji had always been “impossible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professing no hope, no possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was precisely for this reason that their father had completely given up on his elder son, and Wang Changji himself had become disheartened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their memory was not without scenes of the two brothers frolicking at their father’s feet, although those fragments were rare, they were precious, worth striving for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the city Dao Academy to the county Dao Academy, he had improved his cultivation level, broadened his horizons, and seen more opportunities and possibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From “impossible” to “possible,” wasn’t that progress?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always felt that his elder brother was the knowledgeable, tall, and warm figure in his memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the brief interactions with his father, he grew up following his elder brother most of the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While his father was more of a “Clan Leader,” his elder brother took on the role of “father” to a greater extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the whole world gave up on his elder brother, even if his brother gave up on himself, he would never give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the reason why he had come this far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Changxiang couldn’t wait a moment longer, his typically praised calm and steady temperament wasn’t enough to help him now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he got the secret medicine, he rushed home, like a child eager to present a treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He traveled overnight, eager to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In half a day, he went from Qinghe City to Fenglin City, faster than a galloping horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without time to greet his parents and paying no attention to the other clan members, Wang Changxiang headed straight for his brother’s courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped at the entrance of the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stay calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t give too much pressure, and don’t show too much hope either,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Changxiang told himself in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the greater the hope, the greater the despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That scene where Wang Changji swallowed the Channel-opening Pill but there was no reaction had already been etched deep into his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He often remembered his brother’s despairing eyes in his midnight dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the county Dao Academy had no solution, there was still the state Dao Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the state Dao Academy also had no solution, there were other countries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there was Jade Capital Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There would always be a future, there would always be hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Changxiang finally adjusted his breathing, gently pushed open the courtyard door, and stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small courtyard was empty, and there was no familiar figure on the recliner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right in front of him, in the courtyard, on the Qingzhuan tiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was an “upturned” orange cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To say it was upturned wasn’t accurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this chubby orange cat had been dismembered on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cat head, limbs, including the tail, were neatly arranged as if they could still be put back together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Little Orange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The short-tempered, proud Little Orange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the chubby orange cat that Wang Changji treasured and cared for affectionately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Changxiang panicked at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Dao heart couldn’t remain stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forgetting his Dao Technique in the moment, he stumbled into the inner room, “Brother!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang Changji!” he shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He faintly heard a weak response, seemingly coming from Wang Changji’s bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Changxiang ran desperately to the bedroom, his Path Origin surging, providing him with relentless strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he finally heard the voice clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed Wang Changji’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was filled with anxiety, irritability, ferocity…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were emotions Wang Changxiang had never seen in his brother before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when he was a child, after tearing his beloved book, his brother would only warn him gently, telling him not to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after becoming an adult, when he faced various snubs and grievances, he would just turn away indifferently, telling himself to let them be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, that voice was so grating, so violent, even desperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was shouting—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang Changxiang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang Changxiang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1431,"2026-06-03T09:48:22.239Z","2026-06-03T09:48:27.649Z",1,"novelbin.me","fad04e4a2c098c6439ab7d3a864b1cb01fa7c7743c99f15d0285ba28a0d2b2a3","red-heart-patrols-the-sky-chapter-131","red-heart-patrols-the-sky-chapter-129",2464,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fred-heart-patrols-the-sky-cover.jpg"]
