Zhai Zhu

My grandfather is very eccentric, performing daily rituals of offering incense to himself, standing in front of his own spirit tablet and eating candles.
Villagers are fearful of my grandfather.
I am fearful of him too.
Later, I discovered that what they were afraid of was not my grandfather, but me.
Even grandfather is afraid of me.
...
My name is Chen Shi.
The Chen of honesty, the Shi of sincerity.

Above the Great Dao

Chen Shi didn't have a good impression of Monk Wu Chen at all. The monk was worldly, opportunistic, and only politely respectful to Li Tianqing, who was born into a noble family, while he was dismissive toward the ordinary people.


But when Monk Wu Chen stepped in to rescue him at a critical moment, to repay his kindness, it did allow Chen Shi to see another side to Wu Chen's opportunistic nature.


"A clear sense of gratitude and grudges is what defines a true man."


Chen Shi silently praised inside, picked up the bottom of the bowl from the ground, and found that it still held a sip of water, barely covering the bottom.


"Granny Minjiang, I will take you away."


Chen Shi cradled the broken bowl and stealthily left the scene.


After his departure, many soldiers rushed to the scene, and upon seeing the bodies strewn everywhere, they were shocked. When they discovered the body of Assistant General Xia Luoying, they were even more horrified.
