Capítulo 916: Chapter 86 Matters of the Book and the Sword

```

Pei Ye turned the last page, and the first story of "October Rope" thus came to an end.

"What a strange name." Pei Ye murmured, frowning slightly, "It seems the Court Master isn't very good at naming things."

The sky had completely darkened by then, a pale blue night covering the grand city, and a cold wind gently swayed the branches in the small courtyard—just like the season described in the book. Pei Ye looked up at the sparse stars, images of Zhao Baibi and Li Yao still lingering in his mind, yet he didn't know from when or where their story originated, nor what their fate would be afterward.

The copies from Mirror's Blue Phoenix were always better written than the other storybooks—with every frown and smile seemingly right before one's eyes, as if there really were such two people in the world, and the end of each reading always left one feeling a sense of loss. Pei Ye regretfully flipped back a few pages, then sighed softly and closed the book.
