Perhaps I can assist you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yu turned his head, a wry smile curling his lips: “We’re going to the capital to kill those who’ve wronged us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, everyone froze, their faces filled with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going to the capital to kill someone sounded absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-robed woman, however, found the sentiment deeply resonant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the heart is unsettled, one must kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their reaction, you sighed helplessly and replied to Su Ziyan: “Thank you for your kindness, but we appreciate it all the same.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re going to the capital for family matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ziyan suddenly asked: “Have you already married?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You paused, slightly startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yu chuckled: “My brother hasn’t married yet—could it be, Miss, that you…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words instantly reddened Su Ziyan’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Long had initially been intrigued by the white-robed woman, but upon learning her family background, his eyes lit up—he now wished to engage her in conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He calculated that if he could form a bond with a woman from such a family, it would greatly aid his future path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ziyan had wanted to speak more with you, but you fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ziyan’s eyes dimmed with disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, faced with Feng Long’s overtures, she had no desire to converse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a feeling she had never known in her nineteen years—a dull ache in her chest, a faint sorrow clinging to her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Long wasn’t in a hurry; some women required a long line to catch a fine fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zou Lin had wanted to discuss the way of go with you, for encountering a player of First Rank strength was rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You smiled and replied honestly: “I’m not good at go—I’ve just seen many games.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zou Lin naturally didn’t believe you, thinking you were being modest: “When we reach the capital, if you’d be so kind as to give us your address, I may visit you one day to learn from you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You smiled: “Our journey is urgent—there’s no one at home to tend to things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zou Lin nodded, understanding at last, sighed, and dropped the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Zou Shuning grew increasingly curious about your identity—neither Su family’s daughter nor her father, a renowned scholar, seemed to have drawn your attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wondered silently: What is your origin, that you remain so detached?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From your attire alone, you were clearly not from a wealthy household!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Long, however, seethed inwardly—his uncle Zou Lin was a great Confucian of the south, a master of the go board, who upon arriving in the capital was granted the title of Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, a nominal post, yet still a rank Four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His uncle had humbled himself to befriend you, yet you showed no gratitude—it was downright ungrateful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your party arrived near the riverbank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All were stunned by the sight before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The river surged violently, its power immense, as over ten thousand people stretched a floating bridge across its width.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crowds lined both shores, watching the spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zou Shuning smiled: “If we can cross here today, we’ll reach the capital.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You gave a slight nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your arrival drew attention from others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a hundred-man procession was hard to ignore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ran decided to send away dozens of men, keeping only seven or eight elite guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You looked toward the riverbank and saw soldiers lined up in orderly rows on both sides, leaving a wide passage clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The common folk stood behind them, watching curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short distance away stood a carriage and dozens of strong young men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since you now knew the floating bridge was complete, you had already decided how to cross.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You and Lu Yu prepared to take your leave, leading your horses—there were too many people to ride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ziyan, suddenly alarmed, dismounted and blocked your path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a moment—my father will surely let you cross.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You shook your head, unwilling to trouble anyone further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Long, at last, could no longer contain himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always been the center of attention; now, Su Ziyan constantly favored this “middle-aged man,” and he had watched it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When had he become the green leaf?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I advise you to wait for Miss Su’s arrangements.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone carried a hint of contempt: “In this situation, people like you won’t be allowed to cross.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zou Shuning, though disapproving of her nephew’s tone, knew his words held truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a massive deployment—eight or nine thousand soldiers, countless laborers—on this great river…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be for some high-ranking figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path across was now tightly guarded by soldiers; ordinary people couldn’t even approach, let alone cross the bridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who tried to force their way through would be driven back—or thrown into a prison cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zou Shuning could not conceive of any way you two might cross.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Grand Master could command only a thousand soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, there were eight thousand—enough to kill even a Grand Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zou Lin cut off Feng Long’s words, sternly warning: “Xianzong, show respect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to you with an apologetic bow: “Please forgive him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two might as well wait a little longer. If Miss Su’s father can’t secure your passage, I can still help you secure a crossing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though I’ve long withdrawn from court affairs, in this region of Yuetangjiang, I still have ties with several generals—I may be able to assist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zou Shuning nodded: “Yes, you two might as well wait—it’s not urgent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You smiled and simply said: “Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, even Zou Shuning frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you two care so much about face?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had all offered kind advice—this was clearly the best solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go is played only on the board; real life is not merely a game of black and white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zou Shuning shook her head—her regard for you had diminished considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had seen too many people from poor backgrounds who would sacrifice their dignity for a single chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To achieve their goal, they’d do anything—why cling to mere face?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ran, Su Lie’s deputy, added from the side: “At this moment, no one can cross.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You replied calmly: “Thank you all for your kindness, but no need to trouble yourselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zou Lin sighed helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ziyan still wanted to plead, but you had already turned away, leading your horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Feng Long’s lips curled into a cold smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’d like to see how you cross this bridge today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: mmp, in the final minutes, too rushed—I forgot to name it!
