Master Ming’s expression was dark.
“Let them talk. Will gossip cost Xianxian a single strand of hair? She is still someone they can only look up to! I’d like to see what those actor-wannabes and internet bullies think they can do to her.”

Ming Wenxian had once crippled a small internet celebrity.

Master Ming casually paid some money to settle the matter. He hadn’t taken it to heart at all.

The gap between ordinary people and evolvers was simply too vast—they didn’t even exist in the same world.

The Ming family’s main bloodline had produced evolvers generation after generation. Unfortunately, Wenxian’s generation had failed to inherit that trait.

Her genes were completely ordinary. She was just an ordinary person.

This weighed heavily on Master Ming’s conscience.

“Alright, go make the arrangements,” he ordered. “Let Xianxian have her fun.”

The guard silently slipped away again.

Late at night, 11 p.m., in the villa courtyard.

Having successfully gotten Jin Shang’s autograph and a photo, Yu Tang returned home feeling utterly content.

The moment she stepped inside and saw Yu Xiheng sitting on the sofa, she immediately restrained herself.
“Uncle Jiu.”

Yu Xiheng didn’t look up. His voice was calm.
“Mm. Time for bed.”

“Okay…” Yu Tang peeked around.
“Is Qingqing already asleep?”

Yu Xiheng lifted his eyes.
“Whether she’s asleep or not, you still have to sleep. It’s already eleven. You came home too late today.”

Yu Tang huffed.

Hypocrite Uncle Jiu.

She’d introduce lots of high-quality men to Qingqing tomorrow—just to annoy him.

She went upstairs.

The living room was quiet, with only the ticking of the clock.

Yu Xiheng glanced at the time, pressed his temples, and set his documents aside.

He was about to head upstairs when he noticed a book lying on the sofa beside him.

Several colorful tabs were stuck to its pages, along with handwritten notes.

Yu Xiheng paused.

His phoenix-shaped eyes lowered slightly, landing on the line outlined in fine pen on the open page:

“In the sixth year of Chuyuan, the court was thrown into chaos by corrupt eunuchs. All officials who dared to exploit the people or accept bribes were severely punished. Over the span of one year, Emperor Yin executed more than five thousand corrupt officials. From then on, the court was stable and the nation at peace.” — Biography of Emperor Yin, Chapter 38

Yu Xiheng’s gaze darkened a shade, his brows lifting faintly.

Something he had once done, now written into history by scholars and read by generations to come.

The feeling was, indeed, a little strange.

And this passage described the year he executed more than five thousand officials who oppressed the common people.

He closed the book, sat quietly for a moment, then took the small elevator upstairs.

Arriving at a bedroom on the second floor, he raised his hand and knocked.

The door opened quickly, and a girl peeked her head out. “Boss?”

Her bangs were damp, her fox-like eyes misty—she had clearly just finished showering.

Water droplets slid down from the ends of her hair, her cheeks tinted a soft pink from the steam, her skin smooth like jade.

She looked much healthier than when he first saw her.

Yu Xiheng raised his hand and offered a small smile. “You left your book downstairs.”

“Ah? Oh, oh.” Si Fuqing took it, her eyes bright. “Thank you, boss! You should sleep early—it’s good for your health!”

But Yu Xiheng didn’t leave. His gaze remained calm as he looked at her. “Mind telling me what you think?”

“Hm?” Si Fuqing glanced at the bookmarked page. “This part? I just finished reading it. My insights definitely can’t compare to yours, boss. And Emperor Yin was such a great ruler—I wouldn’t dare comment lightly.”

Rule number one of getting a raise: praise the boss and praise Emperor Yin.

But truly, the rights and wrongs of Emperor Yin couldn’t be summed up with a simple judgment.

“He was a man, not a god.” Yu Xiheng rested his head on one hand. “This section is interesting. People are extremely divided—many criticize him for being too ruthless, saying he even killed the veteran ministers who helped him ascend the throne. How could someone so merciless be fit to rule Daxia?”

“But if an emperor is soft-hearted, how can he govern a nation?” Si Fuqing countered. “If it were me, I’d be even harsher.”

Showing mercy to enemies was the same as turning the blade against yourself.

“If he didn’t kill them, the country would suffer, and the people would bleed. Daxia was plagued by internal and external troubles. If the rot within wasn’t removed, how could they face the threats outside?” Her eyes sharpened. “So yes, he had to kill them.”
